“What the hell is going on over there?” a youth eximed, speaking to those gathered nearby.
Large groups of youths had gathered within the desert, observing the tribtion from a distance. The distance they were at was too far to see exactly what was going on, but no one dared to venture any closer. The aura of the tribtion was beyond terrifying, and no one wanted to be a target of that tribtion.
Standing silently within the group was a purple robed youth, whose narrowed eyes stared at the tribtion clouds in the distance. His mind raced with the possibilities of what was going on.
“There are only a handful of youths in thesends still in the Meridian Forging Realm,” Ainsel mused to himself as his thoughts naturally shifted towards John and his group. “And from that group, the only one close to breaking through was the female…”
Ideas rushed through Ainsel’s mind as he tried to figure out what was going on. He knew Iris had special eyes, but did not know the exact type she had. The tribtion clouds gathered were thergest he had ever seen, further mystifying what was happening.
“If that girl truly had heaven defying eyes, then it’s possible that her tribtion would be strong…but this level of tribtion is beyond anything ever recorded. Not only that, but that battle in the sky is even more terrifying…”<sub>.</sub>
From this distance, the monstrous lighting explosions in the sky below the tribtion clouds were visible, revealing the shocking level of whatever battle was urring. However, no one could tell who was taking part in the battle, as it was too far away.
“If it is her tribtion…she is not capable of that level of power though,” Ainsel continued his thoughts as his mind shifted towards another. An idea popped into his head, although he almost immediately dismissed it.
“No…even he is not crazy enough to interfere with a heavenly tribtion…but its the only way I can even remotely make sense of it at the moment.”
Ainsel’s gaze continued to linger on the battle in the distance, his thoughts running rampant.

Boom!
Another thunderous explosion filled the sky as John and the lightning warrior continued their battle. The lightning warrior would asionally ignore John as it attempted to make its way down to Iris below, but John blocked every attempt.
Its previous tribtion beam attack had also failed due to Kirii’s presence, and so it no longer tried such an attack. The battle between John and his opponent raged up in the sky, while thend below was decimated by the monstrous explosions.
John’s battle axe once again cleaved forward towards his opponents head, but hit nothing but air. His eyes widened slightly as the lightning warriorpletely ignored him for the first time, and rushed down towards Iris below.
“Fuck off!” John cursed as his body shed forward, appearing before the warrior once more. His axe cleaved out again, but was once again dodged by the warrior, and the axe only managed tond on the warrior’s one arm. The defenseless arm was cleaved in half, but instantly regenerated as the warrior ignored John to rush down once again.<sub></sub>
‘Shit, the warrior ispletely ignoring me. It’s trying to rush to Iris, taking any damage from me without regard. Its healing makes any damage I do to it worthless. It’s finally realized that it can reach Iris before I can damage it enough to expend its energy.’
Panic rose within John as he shed forward once more, pushing his speed to his absolute limit. However, he was only as fast as his opponent, which was not something he could afford to happen at the moment. After a moment of contemtion, John put away his battle axe as a scythe appeared instead. The battle axe weighed over ten thousand pounds, while the scythe was under half that weight.
The battle axe’s incredible weight was slowing him down, which he could not afford to happen against such a fast opponent. While his scythe was a weaker weapon, it was his only option at this moment.
John’s body shed forward once more as he pushed his Thunderbody sh and Limiter of Speed to his maximum, appearing behind his opponent once more. His scythe cleaved towards the warrior head, who ignored his attack and took it head on. The de of the scythe carved into the warrior’s head, splitting it apart after brief resistance.
However, the lightning warrior instantly regenerated once again, its body shing forward once more.
“Piss off!” John yelled out in absolute frustration and anger as his body appeared in between Iris and his opponent, blocking the lightning warriors path down to Iris. His scythe shed out in quick session, cleaving parts of the warrior in half; damage that was quickly healed.
“Motherfucker! Just die already!” John cursed, his rage growing by the second. His scythe suddenly emanated an ominous ck and red aura for a moment before it shed forward, unleashing an incredibly sharp and quick scythe image
Divine Reaping Scythe: Fourth Form!
The scythe image reached the lightning warrior in an instant, while John’s surprise rose as he watched the warrior attempt to dodge the attack at the veryst moment. It had been ignoring all his attacks, but decided the Divine Reaping Scythe attack needed to be dodged.
The warrior flickered to the side, narrowly dodging the attack. However, itste reaction resulted in the attacknding on its arm, as the scythe image cleaved right through it. The arm separated from the body, while John’s eyes narrowed as he gazed at the warrior before him.
‘Why did it decide to dodge that attack?’ John wondered. His gaze shifted to the severed arm, which was slowly re-attaching to the warrior’s body. After a moment of observation, his eyes widened slightly as he noticed something for the first time.
‘The arm…it’s not healing instantly like before!’
John watched as the warrior’s arm slowly re-attached to its body, taking over ten seconds to fully reattach. All his previous attacks had been instantly healed by the warrior, but this time had been different. His divine sense red out as he inspected the warrior’s arm, and his face lit up in both shock and tion as he noticed what was going on.
‘Spatial energy!’
