The Last Primal

With a series of crackling sounds, the ominous demonic energy around Aiden and Rygintarth was completely purged by the ball of pure [Soul Power] in Aiden's palm.

Bright golden light shone through the veil of darkness as the fearsome glade slowly regained its luster.

"[Reptilian] What in the…"

The Left Hand's eyes flashed with caution. In reality, whilst it may have looked otherwise, the smoke that he had spat out was far from simple – it was one of Malefic Demon Clan's secret skills, Veil of Demonic Darkness!

The Veil of Demonic Darkness was extremely strong and was used to corrode and destroy artifact weapons. Any spirit enhanced weapon that was tainted by the  Veil of Demonic Darkness would have its internal energy sucked away. Left unpurged for long, even its infused soul patterns would be erased, rendering the artifact weapons almost useless.

*Swosh!*

Loran Whron charged over from the side with his inner energy rumbling like lead mercury. A fierce wind blew behind him as he swung his arms and smashed down. Aiden took a side step and twisted his body to slash in reverse.

*Clang!*

Sparks flew everywhere. In a flash, Aiden's body swayed as he made use of the energy from that blow's rebound and crossed his legs, taking a moment to charge at the dark robed figure who was not far away with a furious killing intent!

The Left Hand was different from Loran Whron. He wasn't a body practicioner, his physique was average and he was not strong in melee combat. Aiden would be able to kill him as long as he could get close.

Seemingly seeing through his opponent's intentions, the Left Hand smirked coldly.

"[Reptilian] You think it would be that simple? Dream on!"

Suddenly, he threw out the bone spear in his arms and it hovered in midair. A pitch-black smoke surged out from his fingertip, entering the spear.

The ten-jointed bone spear shone brightly with blueish light eminating a fierce and cold aura.

The Left Hand's fingers shifted continuously as his hands draw a strange, runic seal.

"[Reptilian] Attack!"

The moment he said that, the ten-jointed bone spear broke apart and turned into ten small but sharp bone spikes. Each of them were shrouded with dark demonic energy as they shot towards Aiden at breakneck speed.

Aiden, who was just in the midst of his rush, suddenly felt a warning in his mind, his senses tingling with immediate danger. In an instant, he followed his instincts and welcomed the ten bone spikes.

The spikes shone coldly and were extremely sharp. These were not weaker than normal sharp weapons and holes would definitely appear on one's body if they found their mark.

The scariest thing was that the ten bone spikes were extremely precise and sealed off all of Aiden's escape routes!

First, eight of the ten bone spikes occupied eight different directions, whilst the remaining two spikes sealed the upwards and downwards directions. All ten directions were completely sealed.

Right then, Aiden looked to be completely entrapped, even if he used his incredible speed that he was known for, it would be impossible for him to escape.

"[Reptilian] Interesting… That's a first…" Aiden mutterd to himself, looking surprised more than shocked. This battle technique, or unique spear technique was an attack that was above anything he had seen before. It was also one of the first true weapon techniques that he was so hungry to learn, that he so sorely lacked.

He had no techniques, had no patterns, Aiden usually just relied on his strength and overbearing power to crush all his opponents. Such refined methods was something he had wished to learn for quite a while now…

In that flash, Aiden did not have time to think as he swung Rygintarth while channeling his [Soul Power], revolving it frantically. He roared loudly, slashing against an incoming bone spike by making use of his immense burst power.

*BOOM!*

The bone spike was sent flying and a gap appeared.

Aiden's eyes lit up, before him not too far away, the dark robed men were floating in the air. Just as he was about to charge through the gap, the air behind, above, below and on his sides vibrated immensely!

The other nine bone spikes descended, leaving him no chance at all! Even though the Left Hand was not far away, Aiden had no choice but to deal with the nine bone spikes.

No matter how fast he was, he could not match the speed of the bone spikes.

*Clang!* *Swoosh!* *BOOM!*

Aiden swung Rygintarth and repelled and crushed three bone spikes consecutively. Right after, he made use of his enhanced sensing skill, [Dark Sense] and passed through the gap of two bone spikes extremely closely!

He soared into the air and evaded the remaining four bone spikes in the next instant with uncanny agility and dexterousness.

The entire process seemed very slow upon narration but in fact, it occurred in the split of a moment. Any slight delay would have riddled Aiden's body with holes!

He was internally shocked by how he had to unleash multiple trump cards just to barely evade the wave of attacks from the Left Hand's bone spear.

Taking a deep breath, Aiden was about to charge forward and shorten the distance between him and the Left Hand when a cold light flashed by his eyes followed by an incoming wave of demonic energy.

The bone spike that he had first repelled was now approaching him once more! The sequence was perfect and Aiden did not have any breathing room at all!

However, he did not panic. A slight smile emerged at the edges of his lips as he focuses his mind once again.

A series of piercing sounds could be heard. The previous nine bone spikes had returned and sealed his path once more.

Out of exasperation, Aiden could only swing Rygintarth and fight head-on! He had just soared into the skies but was forced to descend onto the ground after the consecutive furious attacks of the bone spikes.

It was only now that Aiden recalled why Tai-Liu and the others had always thought that he was not a match for Pei Syriac and that Dark Lord.

Even after he displayed unparalleled strength in that bloody battle on the long street, or killed three highly revered and at the same time, feared archbishops singlehandedly, no one thought highly of him.

The two men before him had already given him an answer. This was the strength of the disciples that belonged to the top factions! The true powerhouses of this world!

Suddenly, his thoughts were broken by yet another exclaim coming from the side.

"[Reptilian] Die!"
