The light below Ixtal and Sky's feet grew brighter and brighter, evidently some kind of Spiritual Imprint used for escaping.
A strange voice came into Ezra's head and he muttered "Portal Cutter".
With a slight jerk, Efsa sent a slash, lightning fast at the duo.
Both saw the strange incoming attack, the smarter one understood that it is something dangerous, and she pushed Ixtal into the portal.
The slash arrive and struck her, but not a single drop of blood was revealed on her body as the slash crossed her body and hit the newly formed escaping portal.
The moment Portal Cutter hit the portal, it instantly distorted and closed. "WAIT!?... SKY!!..."
Ixtal yelled as the portal was forcefully closed by Ezra, the Bearman left the love of his life inside the jaws of death.
"No No No, this can't happen, Noo!!!" He yelled like a madman.
Ezra looked at his sword in surprise. "What was this?"
"That was one of the skills of your weapons, you underestimate the might of your weapons. These will be considered best even in the upper realm." Replied Fenrir.
Ezra smiled and tightened his grip on his weapons with satisfaction. As he looked forward, his sight landed on Sky Lees, his evil crimson eyes glowed.
"Oh you stupid muscle-head, you have left something very precious behind." He grinned and raised his one eyebrow as he asked Sky Lees. "Am I right?"
Sky Lees was afraid, Ixtal Molarch really had plenty of life preserving methods. However, did she think that Ezra Zephyr would so easily cancel the portal of escape as he pleased?
With a cold chuckle, Ezra Zephyr sent out an order. "Martial Masters of Bloodfang Kingdom... kill everyone!"
Sky Lees could only watch in surprise as the 56 martial masters jumped out towards the gigantic crowd of around 3000 martial masters without an ounce of hesitation.
However, their armaments changed, they all revealed their Special grade weapons as they marched.
"What bullshit is this?!"
"They are fighting against us all?"
"How stupid of them and here I was about to respect that prince."
~RAAAWWWWRRRRR~
On the other side, a gigantic growl was heard, stunning every one of them.
When they turned their gaze, a dark bluish, bear, with ferocity crawling on his veins.
"A martial animal? It seems to be of 2nd tier as well."
"Is that a Mad Titan Bear??!"
"No way, since when Mad Titan Bear looked like that".
Just when their surprise was unleashed another terrifying cry was heard.
~KIIIIIIIIIIRIRIRIRIRKA~
The familiar cry sent chills through their bones, from the side of a mountain, the assumed dead Razor Pearl Eagle emerged. Unscratched and uninjured.
"Run..."
"Ruunnn!! You fools."
<Prior to Order>
The battle between Ezra and Ixtal ended unexpectedly quickly. Before any of the onlookers could react, Ixtal Molarch disappeared and Sky Lees was left behind.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ A new crowd gradually gathered, they involuntary swallowed their saliva when they gazed upon the mess of a battlefield once again.
No one had expected that the Ixtal Molarch of Stripe Beast Empire would actually flee.
He had the strength of the Core Formation stage, and only a handful of people amongst the Naran Continent's younger generation surpassed him. Yet, he had been beaten by Ezra Zephyr, a recently ascended 6th level Qi Brightening stage.
Moreover... Ixtal had lost even after bringing out his Gamma layer skill.
Gaze after gaze seemed to gradually change when they looked towards Ezra again. There was now a little less scrutiny and a little more respect, silence blanketed the mountains.
Everyone knew that Ezra Zephyr's name would resound in the Spirity Bailiwick after today's battle. Ezra paid no attention to their gazes. He merely made a beckoning motion with his hand and the bluish short sword Efsa returned, he gazed at his hook and sword with love.
Ezra gently swung it from side to side as he came closer to Sky Lees. "He's really good at running." The prince shook his head.
He had still underestimated the tricks Ixtal Molarch had up his sleeve. The latter was practically overflowing with treasures to preserve one's life and escape.
"Well, you won't be feeling too good either even if you escaped."
The prince softly chuckled. At the final moment, he had caught the mastermind of the Spirity Beast squad and all the other martial masters who went after the bounty.
The prince looked at Sky Lees.
"Time to see what this young lady has to offer for her life" uttered the prince.
She quickly threw a pouch to him, it was a spatial pouch.
Black Lightning surged towards the Universe pouch in Ezra's hand. A faint spiritual imprint appeared at the mouth of the pouch, blocking the foreign power.
However, the resistance was not much of an obstruction to Ezra Zephyr. After sending out a dozen waves of Black Bolts, the spiritual imprint gradually dimmed, eventually shattering.
With a thought, Ezra Zephyr's senses swept into the bag and took a good look at its contents.
The first items to appear were 8 gold spiritual crystal cards. These were spiritual crystal cards of the Crystal Pavilion, and each gold one could be exchanged for a million spiritual crystals.
Eight gold Spiritual crystal cards represented 8 million spiritual crystals.
"What a wealthy little lady." The sight of these 8 gold crystal cards made the corners of Sky Lees's mouth twitch a little. But, she couldn't do anything, her safety was her priority
The prince continued to inspect the contents of the Universe pouch. There were many useful and valuable things inside, including several rare Spiritual Resources. This spoke volumes about Bearman Ixtal Molarch's wealth because he was the one who gave her that pouch.
"Oho, a lightning rod stone?"
A deep black stone suddenly appeared in Ezra's hand. The mottled stone was full of holes and seemed to faintly give off a gleam akin to lightning. A pleasant surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw it.
The lightning rod stone could help Ezra smoothen the process of drawing lightning into his body, increasing the speed and power of Black Bolts Chaos Force.
"What a pleasant surprise." After going through the entire bag, the prince felt rather regretful that there was no Dark Wheel of Death gamma layer skill inside.
But it made sense, a gamma layer skill was a valuable treasure even to a powerful faction like Bearmen of Stripe Beast Empire. Ixtal could not possibly be allowed to easily take it with him after the fact that he had a Special grade, Earth Shattering Axe.
Even so, the haul this time was pretty good. Now that Ezra was done with the pouch, his gaze turned towards the figures that were still in the vicinity.
<Currently at Mountain Range>
Kavar and Razor Pearl Eagle wreaked havoc together with 56 martial masters of Bloodfang Kingdom.
"What are all of you doing?"
"You will make the whole continent your enemy?"
Bloodfang martial masters were naturally not going to be nice to those who had come for his bounty.
Upon hearing the words of Ezra, the figures on the mountain launched the attack. If it was before, the surrounding martial masters would have likely cursed and scolded.
However, the current Ezra Zephyr had beaten off even someone like Ixtal Molarch. Such frightening battle power was something they naturally did not dare to offend.
As well as the powerful martial masters of Bloodfang were on a killing spree together with two martial animals who were not touching any of Bloodfang's martial masters.
Hence, the figures of the mountain retreated in a dejected manner to avoid death.
Ezra paid them no attention. He also prepared to leave the area and find an appropriate place to learn the Gamma layer skill.
At this moment, however, he suddenly sensed something and lifted his head, gazing towards the untouchable Spirity Tablet high up in the sky.
The table was currently shaking, practically every prided genius in the entire Spirity Bailiwick felt this disturbance. Heads were immediately raised, looks of astonishment soon arising on their faces.
Light began to converge in the tablet, and for the first time, ancient words slowly appeared.
It was a name. The first name that had appeared on the Spirity Tablet.
The name was... Ezra Zephyr!
"6th level Qi Brightening stage, Ezra Zephyr, battled 1st level Core Formation stage, Ixtal Molarch, Ixtal Molarch retreated."
They were just eighteen simple words, but they caused tremendous waves in the Spirity Bailiwick. Countless geniuses were flabbergasted as they stared at the tablet, completely shocked by the information that had appeared on it.
They naturally knew who Ixtal Molarch was. He was one of those that stood at one of the apex positions of Naran Continent's younger generation, and one of the greatest contenders for the greatest gift of the Spirity Bailiwick.
And yet, the tablet had declared that Ixtal Molarch had been beaten into retreat?!
Who was Ezra Zephyr? How can he possess such terrifying strength?
Moreover, there were countless intense battles that had already occurred in the Spirity Bailiwick. While only this particular battle had been acknowledged by the tablet, what did this say?
This meant that the battle had already reached the level where it could be acknowledged by the Spirity Tablet.
One could imagine how impossible it was for a 6th level Qi Brightening expert to defeat 1st level Core Formation expert.
In the mountain forest, Zulfi's eyes were wide open, mouth agape as he stared at the Spirity Tablet. A long while later, he violently sucked in a breath of cool air.
Others may not know who Ezra Zephyr was, but how could he not?
