Cultivation Through Artifacts

Smoke arose and debris flew everywhere the moment Lyron's body slammed into the ground, shaking the entire surrounding akin to a slight earthquake!

"Old Lyron, didn't you become rather weak through the years? You were much stronger than this." Logan sighed with disappointment while Jas appeared on his side with the same nonchalant look.

Rumble!

From below the pile of rocks, Lyron's figure emerged, a small trail of blood flowing down at the corner of his mouth thanks to the previous punch from Jas.

"I see, so you want to play like this, huh? Then I will gladly play along with the two of you!" Lyron wiped the blood off from his mouth and his body appeared before Logan in the very next instant, his hammer raised high above his head ready to strike!

'...'

Logan just merely glanced at the descending hammer before him before he raised his sword once again to deflect it just like previously.

"You never learn when it comes to comb-, eh?"

.

Logan was ready to deflect Lyron's weapon in the exact same manner as he did earlier and let Jas punch him again, when suddenly his eyes widened, and swung his sword to protect his side.

And just a millisecond later he did, a massive force akin to a bull with thousands if not millions of strength slammed into his sword, sending him flying into the distance like a shooting star.

"To think you can defend against my Sky Cracker with your physical strength alone, you must really be a fool!" Lyron snorted, thinking what Logan tried to do was arrogant.

However, not even a second later as he said that, a black flash appeared in the distance before it exploded into Lyron akin to a black meteorite!

BOOM!

"Now that was a real strike!" Logan smiled widely while his sword covered in abyss black flames was pressing down onto Lyron's hammer with extreme power!

Lyron gritted his teeth under Logan's attack, feeling as though he was resisting against not a sword but an entire mountain that emitted insane heat that no ordinary flames were able to emit!

"To think you are not even trying hard and you are this strong... You are just as terrifying as ever!" Lyron groaned in a low voice, but soon raised his other hand to his side and summoned another hammer.

It was the exact same size as the one in his other, but with the sole exception that it was black in color, while the symbols carved onto its surface were crimson red.

"Earth Crusher!" Lyron roared as though he tried to shake the heavens, and with an arm swing that felt like he could demolish even mountains, he hit Logan from the side.

BAM!

"!?"

Or at least tried to, but just as his Earth Crusher could have broken Logan's interior into a mess, a palm appeared from the side that was covered in a blue glove that emitted an ancient frosty aura.

"Stay out of this old geezer! This is none of your business!" Lyron roared as he quickly pulled back both of his hammers and with a quick spin kicked at Jas' head.

"None of my business?" Jas asked with a slightly raised brow before he raised his hand, protecting the side of his head with relative ease and causing a powerful ripple to fly through the air!

BAM!

"I think it's more than my business," said Jas in a calm voice, and before Lyron could have to respond he grabbed his ankle and with a quick pull smashed his other fist into Lyron's face, sending his body flying once again!

"YOU!!!" after the punch in his face for the second time, Lyron exploded with rage, and without caring about a thing in the world, he started to attack both Jas and Logan at the same time.

In the meantime, while shockwaves and chunks of rocks and debris flew everywhere, Khal and everyone else distanced themselves in fear of getting caught in the crossfire and dying for no special reason.

Of course, Scarlett made sure to use her Talent and create a large barrier around the area where the three battled to protect the citizens and the students of Moon City and Moon Academy, but because she was low in Cultivation Base it was quite hard for her to use her power nonstop.

"If this goes on, I can only keep my barrier only for five minutes at most!" Scarlett said with a nonchalant face, but it was obvious from the forming sweat on her forehead that she tried her best.

"Five? That won't do." Chief Rou shook his head.

He and everyone present knew that in a battle five minutes was a huge amount of time, but only when the power differences were vast. However, even though it was two against one currently, there were no power differences between the two sides!

Although Lyron was punched, kicked, hit, and slammed into the ground or by weapons multiple times, he always jumped back to his feet and continued to fight as though nothing happened!

Not only that, but his speed, reaction time, and his strength never got slower or weaker but instead became faster and stronger, gradually closing the gap between his and his enemies!

"Maybe he is not as skilled in the field of combat as Logan or Jas, his Talent makes up for that more than enough." Chief Rou talked as he started at three fightings in the air.

"His Talent? Why, what can his Talent do?" Khal quickly asked.

"Thunder Cell Body. A body-type Talent that is capable of adjusting to almost anything, improve under pressure while also making the body possess nearly inexhaustible stamina!" Chief Rou explained and quickly continued, "Of course, maybe his Talent seems powerful and unbeatable at first glance, but it has its weakness too just like everything else in this world."

"For example?" Khal asked, his interest piqued.

"Well, just like during forging, if you temper a metal for too much or too long, it can lose significant parts that could determine if you succeed to create that metal's Spirit or Life Essence in the future! Or even worse, you can even damage the Soul Threads inside them, creating nothing but trash!"

Khal immediately realized the meaning and widened his eyes before he asked, "So you say his Talent is like a double-edged sword that can strengthen him, cripple him or even kill him!?"

"Yes, just like that." Chief Rou nodded, his face holding gravity.
