The city is completely chaotic. A blanket of darkness covers a third of it, a dwarf with multiple hammers is fighting off an army of unknown origin, the city guards are fighting alongside the dwarf, and multiple powerful auras are just outside the city on the brink of battle.

"Who the hell is making this f****** ruckus in my city?" A thunderous voice boomed from the sky, directly above the center of the city.

An obese green skinned man with prickly skin yelled from the skies. This man watched the different battles going on below him. He looked over and saw many more individuals in the sky. What peaks is interest is the powerful individual attacking the young boy inside the barrier. He decided that this child could not be deserving of what is falling upon him.

"Will all of you stop fighting!" The cactus looking man bellowed.

Either no one listened, or no one cared to listen to his orders.

The Lord of the City made a quick decision and decided to rescue the small boy in the barrier.as he released his cultivation base the darkness retreated, clearing a large area. He casually grabbed a knife that was stabbing into the barrier and went to pull it away. He was caught by surprise when you figured out that the knife did not move the smallest of increments.

The king stared at Arbor said solemnly, "I'm sorry boy, this must be your destiny."

Arbor tried to speak but he could only choke on his words. Is he going to die here? He just started a new life in a new world.

"Little one no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to move that knife as you are too weak. Leave now before you get yourself killed." A pleasant voice to send it from the skies. His saving grace had arrived. Arbor knows that voice all too well!

Out of nowhere the knife combusted and quickly turned to ash. The barrier returned to its normal shape but still with the cracks around it.

"What did you…" The King of the City retorted before he realized the cultivation level and beauty of whom he was speaking to.

"You should worry about your city first before you worry about others. This child is under my protection, you do not need to worry about him. My comrades and I will take care of the Army of the Dead. Protect the citizens at all costs."

The city Lord paused for a second because of how frightening this beauty is and to admire her. He disappeared before Arbors eyes. Arbor we found himself floating upwards on a cloud of flames, yet there was no heat emitting from the flame.

"You wretched s***. Do you honestly think you can keep him alive? This time our Lord hasn't gone easy, he's released everyone. Everyone is on their way now to kill him, to kill you, to kill your friends. Then we will search this entire realm for Haoshe and finish him off."

"I am a pure, untainted, innocent, woman. How dare you insult my reputation in such a way." A fire lit in her eyes and all over her body as a pair Phoenix wings grew out of her back. Small flames ignited on her feathers before separating from her wings and lining up behind her. This happened endlessly as the feathers regrew as quick as they left the wings.

Although it is an endless amount of tiny feathers and fire, an impenetrable wall formed behind her. This wall appeared more sturdy than the one surrounding the city. One by one these flames shout out at the knife wielder.

As the enemy deflected and fought off each feather that shot towards him, Soll talked to Arbor. She informed him Telum, Pona, and Thalli, are all in the city. At the same time she's stuffed two pills into arbor's hand. Both of them are lifesaving pills that will revive him with a foot through death's door.

“I typically don’t keep any life saving measures with me as I simply don't have to. I just happened to have these. Take these if you start to think you are dying.”

Sol slowly turned towards the enemy with disdain filled eyes. A tiny red sun no bigger than an orange appeared in her palm. Sol raised her palm from her waist and with it the temperature increased. The color of the sun gradually changed from red to orange. Sol continued on, the sun changed from orange to yellow, then yellow to white blueish color.

Sol was not surprised by the lack of reaction from the enemy. Her other palm flipped over as another sun of the same size and color appeared. The temperature doubled! A slight discomfort appeared on the enemies face.

Even though Sol is able to keep the heat from affecting Arbor she was unsure if she was capable of keeping him safe once the battle fully erupted. Thus, she lowered him with the help of the flame cloud, which disappeared as he landed. He looked up and noticed two more suns that are four times the size of the first two materialize behind Sol!

Once again Arbor was on the run he cursed himself and Sol for not sending him towards the residence. Now that the darkness is gone he is able to locate where he was and how to get back to the safe place inside the formation. As he took the corner around a building and was created by two figures standing in front of him. These two had the same stature and were a head shorter than him. They are either midgets or younger than him.

One dressed in all black with a skull mask and the other in a dark hue of purple with a similar colored mask that has burn marks on it.

"Who are you two and what do you want? " Arbor timidly asked.

"We are the grand disciples of Veon. Obviously we are here to kill you. It will bring us great merit in doing so." The one dressed in purple spoke.

"You’re whose grand disciple?" Visibly confused

"Are your seniors so worthless that they didn't even teach you who they've been fighting for countless thousands of years?"

"They taught me plenty. This Pee On must not be all that important for them to not have inform me of who he or she is."

Before Arbor could react, the figure in the black clothing was lunging at him from his left side. At the same time the figure in the dark purple clothing moved towards his right.

“No, I can’t fight. There’s too much going on and too many people attacking me. I need to get back to the courtyard. I’ll be safe there.” Arbor thought to himself as he dashed past the two figures.

The two unknown assailants have the same cultivation level as Arbor. As arbor ran the two endlessly attacked him causing over to deflect in to find but also making strides forward it’s his destiination.

“Just stay still and let me kill you. It won’t be quick, nor will it be painless.” The figure back spoke softly as he stepped towards Arbor. The pitch and tone of this voice made his bones shiver. It is soft, enticing, and gentle, yet agitating, creepy, scratchy, and scary all at the same time. A voice from nightmares.

“I just want to feel the opening of your skin under my blade. Want to hear your screams as my darkness penetrates your body, slowly crumbling your organs, your blood thickening, and as your nerves amplify the pain of it all a thousand times over.” The dark dressed figure chortled as he spoke.

After fighting with the two for five minutes Arbor finally gave in and decided to fight back. After he gained some distance between them he turned around as a staff appeared in his hand. He looked at the two and said calmly “I don’t have much time so I’ll make this quick. Come”

Under his provoke, the two quickly attacked again. Arbor held the staff in his right hand and dodged the black figures attack with a spine. Upon rotation, he smacked the figure in black on the side of the head, sending him straight to the ground.

The remaining opponent did not react in the slightest. Arbor could only feel remorse for the first victim as the person's partner appeared to not care about them. He did not have to reflect on the relationship between the two because he needed to pay attention to the other person!

His instincts told him to duck, which he did and dodged the attack from the purple go figure. Needle and needle sped towards him and he used his staff to deflect the needles. He slowly maneuvered straight towards the purple figure and came into attacking distance. To his surprise the distance increased as it jumped backwards. Arbor tried again and again to get close. Eventually, he javelin threw the staff, catching his opponent by surprise. He quickly followed suit and sent a hard kick across the person's chest. Send them through the air before falling onto the ground.

The figures fell on the ground motionless. Without wasting any time arbor left.

Luckily Aber made it back to the residence he was staying at and collapsed just inside the formation surrounding the residence. Soon another potential misfortune fell upon him. A figure walked up to just outside the formation and stood there staring at him with a weird look on his face.

“Little boy you’re lucky you’re seniors are here to protect you and fend me off just long enough for you to get in there. But don't worry you'll be mine soon enough as this formation will only take me a minute to break through. All five of your comrades are busy fighting, thus leaving me to kill you easily.”
