Conquering the Thousand Worlds

Chapter 16- Zera's Prowess

"Ready?" Ace asked in a low voice that is only enough to be heard by Zera who is in his back.

"Yes." Zera nodded faintly.

"There should be around 10 people who surrounds us and another 2 persons who are watching in a quite distance. It will be a little bit troublesome to deal with them with this tactic of them." Ace said while observing his surroundings.

Given Ace current strength, he would likely find this a little bit troublesome because he can't use his full power right now. He can only use his recovered power, ancient symbol and his dragon form.

"When I'm going to move run as fast as you can to go and find some safe place to hide. I will find you later when I'm done with them." He added.

When Zera heard this, she shook her head while saying."I think you are underestimating this young lady. If I will continue to act as a bystander, you will think of me as a fragile and weak girl. Just leave them to me and I will finish them in instant."

Before Ace could responded, Zera already disappeared. After a half minute a broken sound of bone can be heard. The slicing of trees and falling of trees can be seen and heard at this moment.

It is so fast that even those people didn't know who killed them.

"Run!" The people became desperate at this moment. They are frightened because their group are killed one by one without having the chance to fight back.

Time passes by and someone manage to barely see a shadow. When this shadow is about to attack a person again there are two person who suddenly appear in front of this shadow and stop her attack. One person stopped her and the other one attacked her resulting for this shadow to took a few steps backwards.

Now the killer is revealed. This person wears a black robe with hood and this person also wearing a mask so revealing this person's true identity is not simple.

"Who are you?! What business do you have with us that you are interfering our fight?" The person who stopped the killer shouted in a cold manner.

The person wearing a black robe and mask remain non committal. After a few moment she cast some hand signs.

"Krrrrrrr."

The an ice suddenly appeared out of nowhere and directly froze all the people involved on this fight.

"Shhhhwissshhhh."

Now all of them are surrounded with ice in all of their bodies. Their facial expressions contains some shock, fear and regrets.

"Break."

A sound of cracking ice can be heard now. After that breaking sound of ice, two figures suddenly appeared in front of the black robe person and both of them made a sneak attack. From the looks of it, they are deal with this person in a one blow.

These two figures are the one who attacked and stopped the black robe person a while ago. They have a pale face now. Breaking out from the ice really exhaust them so if the fight continues they will be in disadvantage soon.

This black robe swung her dagger to deal with this two figures.

"Bang!"

Their is a loud explosion from the collision of this exchanges of attacks. The two figures took a several steps backwards and they a severely wounded. While the balck robe person also took a few step backwards and she had a few wounds.

The two figures gritted their teeth and they are stepping foward ready to attack again.

When they are only half way to the black robe person. One of them suddenly attacked the other one with all of his strength resulting for the space to crack in the latter's surrounding. The latter is now stuck in the cracked space.

After this the former kneel down in front of the black robe and spoke in humble manner. "I didn't know what may we have done to you but almost all of us killed by you. I'm already heavily injured and I attacked the remaining person within my group in order to show you that we no longer wants to fight you."

The black robe remain silent and didn't intend to respond. The figure's face slightly changed because of this.

"Then I will prove to you that I no longer want to fight you." He attack again his comrade resulting for the comrade to cough a mouthful of blood.

Right now, the comrade of the figure are slowly entering the cracked space. His face are in pale and he seems to be in a tough position.

When the comrade of the figure just swallowed by the craked space totally. Another black robe suddenly appeared within that space and he entered his left hand in to the space and he pulled something and that is the comrade of that person.

"Who are you?!" the latter became shocked because someone pulled his comrade from the space.

"You might fool others but not me. This space might look like be only leading to emptiness but it is not. It is leading to the other place."

"You?!" The two became angry because their plan is ruined because of this person. They go all out to kill this person.

"Boom!"

The two suddenly heavily slammed in the ground. The gravity suddenly became heavy to the point of everyone can only crawl within this place.

The black robe casually walking like the gravity is not that heavy. He sat down in front of the two figures.

"Who ordered you?" Ace asked in a normal manner.

"We will not going to tell you." The two lifted their head when they said this. Just lifting their head is already hard for them.

"Of course I know that you will not tell me but I'm sorry, I already know who it is and where you came from. You are from the Flamestone Family right?" The black robe remove his hood and now his face is fully revealed. This person is Ace.

"It is not an honor to die in the hands of mysterious person so I made an exception just for the two of you." Ace grinned.

"Y-yo-you are--" The two are shocked because they have been targeted by their target.

"Crack." Just before they could say it. The gravity force became heavier in their head resulting for their head to break.

"Are you okay?" Ace look to the black robe with mask person.

"Yes." She nodded and then she remove here hood and mask. Of course it is Zera.

"That's good then. I didn't actually thought that you are good at assassinating. Your movements are very exceptional." Ace praised while looking at Zera.

Zera only give a gentle yet alluring smile.

"Then before we get going, it is the most awaited time of me in this battle. Collecting time." Ace grinned while heading to the corpses of the enemies.
