The Last Primal

Following the wake of his words, as Rygintarth moved there was a mysterious sound, a faint rumble following along the invisible path. Almost as if a massive tide was rumbling somewhere behind the curtain of reality surging in a reverse current coming from its blade.

Initially, Bair Yohren had the advantage with his domineering momentum. However, the situation between them was instantly reversed with Aiden's single slash!

A torrential force crushed forward like a surging tide alongside Rygintarth's matte ebony blade! All the afterimages from Bair Yohren's sword strikes disappeared instantly. The blood stench emitted from his sword was washed away completely by the invisible tide as well.

Against that massive force, Bair Yohren's sword technique appeared simple and weak!

"[Slaric] What in the…" Bair Yohren's eyes widened in shock. In his fright, he even subconsciously switched back to his mother tongue and muttered in his more familiar reptilian slaric dialect.

He could not understand how such a show of force was actually possible. He joined the Ruthless Sword Sect when he was but only five years of age and had been practicing hard and earnestly with the same blade since then. It could be said his technique was honed throughout his lifetime of hard earned effort and arduous work.

After being immersed in the way of the sword for dozens of years, he had merely reached the peak of the first level of mastery of the sword and had not managed to reach the secrets of force yet. He merely had knowledge of it, he knew it existed, but could never touch it.

However, the person before him had comprehended the meaning of saber force after cultivating for a mere ten days! In the face of the pure sword force, all other techniques were merely in form no matter how precise they were.

Just then, the two blades clashed against one another.

*Clang!*

Bair Yohren's body shuddered and his face turned incomparably pale. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he flew away limply and his gaze dimmed.

All the onlookers watching from afar were dumbstruck!

It was a single slash! One strike only what it needed and Bair Yohren's initial advantage was gone after Aiden opened his eyes and within a single slash, he was the one that was sent flying and severely injured!

The difference between them was simply too great.

Initially, Bair Yohren's only advantage was in his sword technique. But now, after Aiden comprehended a genuine Sword Force power, the 'Creation' force, Bair Yohren's advantage was simply non-existent.

Furthermore, Aiden's strength had increased significantly after attaining reaching a minor breakthrough just before and had his body almost completely rebuilt. Right now, he was crushing Bair Yohren completely in every aspect. Neither in blade technique nor in terms of physical prowess, Bair Yohren could not carve out any advantage for himself.

Even though it was just a single slash, he had already injured Bair Yohren severely!

His earlier calm and almost friendly expression was nowhere to be seen now. With a cold gaze, Aiden flashed forward and raised his dark sword, chasing after Bair Yohren.

Bair Yohren's face was ghastly pale with fear. Looking at Aiden who was charging over, his eyes flashed with determination as he bit his tongue gently, spitting out a stream of his blood essence.

As a result, Bair Yohren's chest heaved up and his heart pounded furiously. With every single pound of his most precious organ, new blood would course through his limbs.

On the surface of the blood burned a thin layer of flames that possessed endless energy.

From the burning fervor, Aiden already had an idea of what his opponent was trying to achieve. Well either of the two: Either using some taboo technique to temporarily raise his strength to strike back… or judging from the non-fading fright and fear lingering on Bair Yohren's expression, to try to escape through some strange and mysterious method.

Since it was much more likely to be the latter in this case, Aiden narrowed his eyes. Whilst he was not sure of what was going on, his theory was soon proven when a newly emerged stream of messages popped up in his subconscious.

The system was working at an astonishing pace and in just mere moments a large portion of the process was completed when the bell-like sounds calmed down and stopped.

Whilst Aiden was baffled what was happening on the inside, he retained a neutral, cold look on the outside as he focused his burning, golden gaze on his opponent. Though he had the opportunity to strike, the stream of messages made him hesitate giving Bair Yohren the precious timeframe to complete this forbidden taboo spell.

Suddenly the situation changed.

Bair Yohren turned into a streak of crimson blood and sped off into the distance. In the blink of an eye, he had already fled a thousands of meters away!

The spell was simply too fast!

Before Aiden could react, suddenly the bell-like sounds in his mind continued, and the stream of messages continued at a rapid pace.

[Warning: The analysis of the skill [Blood Magic: Blood Escape] has deemed that the aforementioned ability is a dangerous technique with a great-deal of harm coming to the host as cost of using it. As such, the System marked it as 'Forbidden' banning it from use and interaction as a security measure.]

[Note: The system will still complete the processing and will spend extra time to work on fixing its faults. As a result processing will take an extra amount of time. Please be advised.]

[Analysis complete, processing information, creating skill. Remaining time: 20 hours 07 minutes 50 seconds]

Aiden was shocked and stunned as he read through the messages. Whilst he still hadn't a clear picture of what exactly was going on with this strange skill, this 'Blood Escape' Bair Yohren just used to run away and escape, he could at least understand that there was a huge price he would have to pay as a direct consequence of using it.

It was the first time Aiden had seen such a message, such a warning coming from the system. Also it was the very first time in his life that the system actually straight up banned a skill from usage as it was marked way too harmful towards the host with offering too little in exchange.

Was it worth it? Would his power now be forever limited as a result? Did he ruin his potential, for a small chance of survival?
