Is That A Wisp? Chapter 317
Advertisement
Once Krune and Ruik arrived in the open Field, the City Guards opened the circle and gave Ruik and his opponent enough space to fight.
Krune looked at the Lavara Falimy Group Leader and remembered one thing.
"Oh, right! I still haven't asked your name."
"Lahain Lavara."
Krune nodded and then went to a corner to watch the show. The guards also kept a close look at him to make sure he wouldn't escape during the battle. But as far it seemed, Krune looked like he already knew the result.
The Captain of the City Guards Group came forward, and the said.
"You know the rules, so I won't waste my time with this shit."
"Start!"
Lahain then started to gather Spiritual and Elemental Source energy when suddenly, he heard a voice coming from his side.
"The five minutes is up, the challenger has lost."
Lahain almost vomited blood! The five minutes were up? What is he even talking about? They didn't use even five seconds, let alone minutes!
Lahain looked at the City Guard Captain.
"Are you fucking me up? How come five minutes are gone? neither of us has made a single move yet!"
The Captain didn't care, though.
"If I said that five minutes is up, then five minutes is up. In this city, the City Guards are the Law! I'm too lazy to wait for the real Five Minutes to pass, and neither do I care about who wins. So the five minutes are up!"
Ruik, on the other side of the Field, smiled at Lahain and said.
"Don't be too sad, this is a No Laws Zones, so even the city guards Laws don't have much of a meaning. Anyway, I just want all your belongings, and then you can leave."
Lahain was on the verge of exploding already. He looked at the City Guard Captain and complained.
"Even if laws have no meaning here, the City Lord Challenge Tokens are not to be defied! Are you really going to simply ignore the City Lord Rules?"
The Captain shrugged his shoulders and said.
"As if anything that a punny Divine Soul Realm said could possibly reach the City Lord's ears. Hahahaha!"
The Captain then looked Ruik and said.
"You there, half of the things that this idiot here has is mine, are you okay with that?"
Ruik laughed as well and said.
"But of course! I was able to make it big without lifting a single finger, why should I mind it?"
Lahain still couldn't accept that situation, but he couldn't possibly act against this City Guard Captain. First, his family would pay for his transgression, and second, he isn't possibly a match for this Captain. He would be courting death if he attacked now.

Lahain then looked at his subordinates on the side, but all of them looked away. It was evident that they didn't want to have anything to do with this situation.
Lahain then continued to complain to the Captain of this City Guard Group while Ruik added more fuel to the fire. Just like that, three minutes went by.
Still, Lahain didn't want to give up now. He decided that since he was going down, he might as well bring Ruik with him.
He tried to reach his swords inside his Spatial Ring when suddenly, he noticed that he couldn't connect to it.
"I can't open my Spatial Ring? Why?"
The City Guard Captain just kept smiling at him as if nothing was happening.
"Something isn't right."
Lahain then spread his Divine Sense as far as possible. At the Peak of the Divine Soul Realm, his Divine Sense could go over 150km. But when he did that, he noticed that the city itself didn't extend for more than 20 kilometers. After that range, there was nothing! What was even more impressive is that he couldn't see this 'void' with his eyes at all! Only his Divine Sense could perceive that 'void.'
"This..."
It was then that he looked at Ruik, who was laughing on the other side of the Field.
"It was you! Where did you bring me? Where is this place?"
Ruik then stopped and said.
"What are you talking about? We never left that Field even for a second. At this moment, you are staying still right in front of everyone doing absolutely nothing. Oh, by the way, four minutes have passed already."
Only now did Lahain understood the situation he was in, this place isn't reality. Somehow, he was pulled inside some kind of illusion. An incredibly lifelike one!
'This is probably some kind of illusion formation. But when did he set it up? He shouldn't have had the time for it at all!'
Lahain knew that asking Ruik to stop it would be useless. They are opponents stacking their lives, after all. So he could only think about attacking Ruik in the distance.
Unfortunately for him, this is Ruik's Dream World! Because Lahain hasn't comprehended any Laws, he didn't notice that this isn't an Illusion Formation. If he had, he would be able to notice that the Laws in this place aren't exactly like what the real world should be.
There are ways to escape the Dream World even if one doesn't know Laws. But because Lahain didn't even know what the Dream Laws were, he couldn't possibly know how to escape it either.
He kept attacking Ruik, but every time he got close, Ruik would disappear and reappear somewhere else. As for the City Guards and everyone else, they aren't really real to start with. So they don't have any power to what so ever. In fact, Ruik was supposed to attack Lahain's real body in the real world while his opponent was trapped here. If he had done that, the battle would have been over already.

Still, Ruik wanted to see just how far he could keep someone with much higher cultivation than himself inside there. The fact is that Ruik already had a hard time keeping the dream world on going. After all, the Difference in cultivation is still there whether he likes it or not. Especially now that Lahain is using vast amounts of Spiritual and Elemental Source energy.
Lahain soon noticed that the world around him warped every time he used a lot of energy. With that, he decided to try it out and concentrate all his energy on attacking the world itself. Sure enough, the changes in the world intensified, and soon, the Dream World broke apart.
When Lahain finally came back to himself, he could hear his subordinates shouting at him.
"Lahain, attack, attack! Stop wasting time!"
"Lahain, what the hell are you doing?!"
"Lahain, five minutes is almost up! You are going to lose!"
Only now did Lahain notice the City Guard Captain and Ruik on the other side of the Field. Ruik was sweating rivers but still kept straight. After all, Ruik didn't suffer any physical injuries, it was just that his mind was exhausted.
Lahain knew that if he didn't move now, everything would be over. He immediately brought his Sword out of the Spatial Ring and charged at Ruik. But just as he was about to reach him, the City Guard Captain appeared in front of him and stopped the Sword with his bare hands!
Lahain looked at him, surprised. Just a few more steps, and he would have sliced Ruik in half.
"The five minutes are up, it's your loss."
Lahain obviously didn't want to accept that outcome.
"That wasn't fair, he used an Illusion Formation and trapped me inside! I couldn't do anything for most of the time at all! He shouldn't have had enough time to set up this formation, so it was obviously a trap made ahead of time by him or someone else. The challenge is not valid!"
Boom!
The City Guard Captian then lost his patience and kicked Lahain flying! Lahain couldn't possibly defend or dodge a Peak Void Breaking Realm Cultivator. If the Captian hasn't shown mercy, he would be dead already.
"Illusion Formation? What bullshit are you even talking about? From start to finish, there wasn't a single formation in this place. What he used has nothing to do with formations at all. It was, without a doubt, his own strength!"
The Captain looked at Ruik and asked.
"What is your name, kid?"
Before coming to the Hakasha Galaxy, Krune's group decided to change their appearance and names again. In fact, a lot of those who stayed in a place like this would continuously change their appearances and name as well. The Captian knew that and was just asking so that he could address Ruik somehow.
"My name is Kiur."
The Captain nodded and then said.
"Nice Laws you have there, Kiur. I'm impressed to see someone using the Dream Laws at such a small cultivation realm. You must have a frightening background."
The truth is that Ruik was lazy to even select a name, so he simply decided to use his name backward.
"Senior is too courteous. I'm still far from mastering it."
Although Lahain was injured, he still heard everything they said. Of course, he still didn't know what the Dream Laws were, but he had a vague idea of how it worked just based on the name. First of all, he couldn't believe that he was paired against someone who knew laws. Just how many Early Stages Divine Soul Realm cultivators and Demon Beasts out there know Laws to start with?
The Captain looked at Lahain and then added.
"You should be thankful. Kiur could have finished this battle in the very first seconds. Your body was completely exposed, and all he needed was to cut your head off or piecer your heart. You would die inside the Dream World and wouldn't even notice."
Lahain felt a chill on his back when he thought about it. Indeed, he had stayed still doing nothing for almost five minutes. That was enough time for even a Foundation Establishment to kill him over a hundred times. Let alone a Divine Soul Realm Demon Beast.
"If I just didn't accept that idea and had fought the 4th stage guy instead. It wouldn't turn out like this."
Krune and Ruik looked at each other after hearing that and burst out in laugher.
Ruik then looked at lahain and said.
"I wonder if I should tell you that I'm not my friend's match. Ops, I already said."
Everyone then looked at Krune as if he was a monster!
Krune didn't mind the attention, though. After all, everyone in his group changed their appearances and names. Whether they remember his face in the future or not will matter not for him.
