Protagonist? Antagonist? I Reject Both

A staggering number of elders had just emerged from the Ice Crystal Sect's building, each one of them with their noses caved into their heads, completely deforming their faces as each of their forms fell from the sky.

Before any one of the onlookers could understand what was going on, the form of a handsome youth suddenly appeared in the sky, his icy gaze looking at each of the descending elders with the kind of look one would give ants.

It was the same youth that every one of them had been searching for, Leon.

"Terpas!"

[Yes My Liege.]

As if understanding Leon's thoughts, Terpas figure appeared and morphed around Leon.

Leon suddenly raised his right arm, and the sky immediately turned crimson as hundreds of massive blood spikes flickered into existence behind him.

Their sharp structures instantly shot toward the descending elders.

The elders and many of the others struggled to regain their senses, and they all shook their heads in the air.

As soon as they saw the blood spikes approaching them, as fast as lightning, they each tapped their chests.

Instantaneously, the same transformation.

In the next instant, the intricate lines on each of their Martial Spirits lit up with intensity, and their powers increased to staggering levels.

The sharp blood spikes struck the forms of many of the Elders who couldn't react in time, their Martial Spirits quickly reacted and shielded them by taking the blow.

But the others who reacted quickly and had strong spirits deployed their Martial Spirits and released an intense blast from their forms, easily dispersing the blood spikes.

Each of them unleashed their newly gained aura fully as they all charged toward Leon at supersonic speeds, releasing sonic booms in the air.

"This is the first time I have seen so many people using Martial Spirit and they are using it quite well."

"Let's see how much more proficiently you can world it."

Saying this Leon pulled out Exitus turning into a huge katana.

There was not a single elder present in the expansive icy field who didn't hear those words.

They sounded like the call of the reaper, as though death had come knocking, wanting to collect life.

As soon as those words sounded, words alone could not do justice to the events that followed.

None of the elders saw how it had happened.

It seemed like a blip, as though time had suddenly become a confusing concept.

There was no grandiose display, nor was there anything flashy.

At one instant, each of the Elders had been rushing towards Leon, each of their weapons at hand, clearly ready to attack.

In the next moment, the space between their limbs and torsos appeared to distort, causing each limb to abruptly detach from their bodies.

It went without saying that the amount of blood that fell from the sky was staggering.

An intense amount of crimson blood gushed out of each of their severed limbs, immediately painting the icy field crimson.

Each of the elders was far too shocked and baffled by the events that many of them completely forgot to shield themselves.

The crimson blood bathed the icy field, drenching many of the elders in the process who failed to protect themselves.

Intense darkness immediately filled the whole icy field as all of the Elders's Martial Spirits lit up.

Before their severed hands could get far, the golden light quickly expanded and encompassed each of the youths' forms, and without missing a beat, they all disappeared from the field.

The area immediately descended into a palpable silence, with only the sound of blood hitting the icy ground as though regular rain were falling, sounding in the background.

What had just happened?

Those words crossed the minds of everyone in the icy field. Did an elder interfere? Just what was going on!?

Many of them just couldn't believe that this was caused by a student; it seemed so absurd they each instantly killed the thought in their heads.

But reality had always been clear; it had always been the fault of the living for not accepting it.

Seconds passed, and there was no sign of any elder whatsoever, just the form of a youth who had been in the same position as before and didn't appear to have moved.

"No way,"

Those words left the mouths of many of the elders as they each focused on Leon landing gently in the icy field, their disbelief palpable.

They formed a circle at least 50 meters in diameter with him in the middle, no one wanting to get too close.

Had he done it?

They kept asking themselves this question.

A boy who hadn't even reached 20 had done all of this.

Really?

Before they could continue their lines of thought, a figure suddenly fell from the skies, brutally hitting the icy ground beside Leon with a resounding thud.

It was none other than Qin Lang and his completely battered and broken form.

There was no way Leon was ending it there; he was still yet to make his point throughout the place

Each of the elders watched as Leon approached Qin Lang on the icy ground, and the next events that ensued were nothing short of cruel.

They all watched as Qin Lang was punched, his form burnt, his clothes stripped, and his figure boiled in a bubble of water.

Every single one of his bones broken, his fingers and toes pulled off.

At every passing second that each of the elders watched this scene unfold, it was as though Leon was always coming up with new, innovative ways of brutally torturing Qin Lang.

It went without saying that Qin Lang's screams were deafening.

The elders received another shock of their lives as Leon went on to utilize each one of his elements apart from space during the torture.

Wasn't this too much for one person? Was life even fair?

But fortunately for them, they each still could formulate thoughts in their heads. The receiver of all of this torture had long since lost his grip on reality.

"NOOOOI!"Meng Yun screamed in horror, unable to bear seeing her disciples broken and struck like this.

"Just why is he doing this?"

At the time, an elderly woman appeared and held Meng Yun in her place.

"Meng Yun stopped here. We all are powerless to stop all this so all we can do is wait for the Sect Master and Grand Elders to appear. We have sent a message to the Sect Master who has gone to seclusion. Once he comes out, it's over.

"BUT…."

"You need to hold it together."
