Re:Immortal

Both Omis and Addi stood next to each other facing the void crack that was slowly opening in the sky with solemn expressions on their faces.

A giant hand with blood caked claws slowly made its way out of the crack in an eerie manner before another one followed.

"Stab the bastard before he's fully out!" Shouted Addi as his body disappeared into thin air.

Omis on the other hand had both of his eyes change color again, one as bright as the sun and one as dark as the abyss itself. The loud whooshing sound of his invisible sword cutting through the air was heard as he aimed it at the thing's left hand.

By the time his sword connected Addi had also appeared out of the air next to the other hand and stabbed it with his spear his attack seemingly passing through space as it penetrated the flesh of the arm leaving a deep hole on it.

Omis's attack on the other hand managed to chop off three clawed fingers clean off as the monster shrieked in pain, its voice thundering over the plane and sending Addi and Omis's sword tumbling back.

With a desperate howl, the thing shoved the void crack open even wider as it forcefully pushed its frame out of it finally giving the duo a good glance at what they were up against.

The thing was huge, easily towering over both of them, Omis reckoned it was about three to four meters tall his arms were a little bit too long for its body and his fingers had clawed at the end of them.

Its skin was of an ashen color, his legs were that of a goat, the thing that stuck out the most to Omis was his face, the thing did not have a full face! It only had half!

It was a surprisingly human-looking one with one long horn that curled over the back of his head, the strange thing was it only had half of its head the other side looked as if it was cleanly shaved off with a blade right in the middle leaving him with half of his nose, one eye, one ear, and half of his mouth, the other side was surprisingly smooth and completely red in color confusing Omis to no end.

As it made its way out of the void it crawled from, the thing's eye quickly landed on Addi and then moved to Omis before it let out an inhuman cry causing him to urgently summon a shield made of Qi that surrounded both him and Addi and protected them against the monster's incorporeal attack.

Space seemed to break from the shriek of the monster as Omis found getting harder to maintain the shield yet luckily the thing halted its assault seeing that its targets had managed to defend against his attack.

It's one eye slowly began to change becoming fully red preventing Omis from differentiating between its pupil and Iris as the red color took over everything giving the monster a savage look, It's horn slowly started pouring a small red mist causing it to gradually surround its body.

"I have a bad feeling about this Omis! I don't like what's doing!" Shouted Addi as he quickly took a defensive posture, something told him that if he attacked the monster right now that it would be the end of him, and if there was something Addi learned throughout all these long years living in this forsaken world was to always trust his instincts.

While Omis lacked real-world experience compared to Addi he was not powerless, yet he also felt the danger surrounding the figure more clearly than Addi as he was the one closer to it on levels. Turning his head towards his friend Omis shouted urgently.

"DODGE!"

His yell was immediately drowned by the sound of a massive explosion, for a second all he could see was white as the entire realm was engulfed by it, he barely managed to resummon his shield that had barely recovered before casting all of the defensive spells he could manage before the attack hit.

Omis had no time worrying about Addi as the space around him locked him in his position, he tried to forcefully tear a hole into the void to teleport away yet that was not possible, it seemed as if the monster's spell reached out all across the heavenly realm leaving nowhere for him to run away to.

Finding himself momentarily blinded by white light and without any ideas on how to escape his predicament, Omis simply gritted his teeth and rotated his cultivation base at full power and hoped that it was enough to stand in face of the attack.

For a moment, everything around him went silent as the spell clashed with his defenses, it did not take long however before he felt his shield dissipate first barely doing anything to stop the force of the attack, soon Omis watched in horror as his defensive layers crumbled one after the other.

With his mind going overdrive Omis’s eyes darted left and right as he urgently attempted to spot a flaw, a crack, something anything that may help him in any way escape his current dilemma, yet to no avail.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The attack soon reached his body causing him to feel as if he was falling through a dark hole, his entire body stretching before everything simply went black.

---------------------------------------------------

On the other side of the Heavenly plane, Silas and Leyla’s figures could be seen fighting against a horde of ’Hive’ minions as they struggled to make their way to the ’Gate’.

”Uncle Silas there are too many of them!” Shouted Leyla in a desperate tone, her whip lashing unto one of her assailants with a wham as it quickly caused his body to explode in a haze of blood.

”We are almost there! Just a little more!”

Silas who was also struggling with his own aggressors summoned the illusion of an entire library behind his back raining various destructive spells on them.

Yet even that was not enough, as when one of the attackers fell, three others replaced him. The ’Gate’ was so close yet so far away.

It was then that suddenly the entire battlefield froze as a blinding light rushed from behind them quickly engulfing everyone present, and momentarily blinding them.

Silas was the only one that was the least affected due to his special ability, using every ounce of his power he struggled under the pressure brought by the light as he pushed Leyla towards the Gate before a loud explosion rang in his ears and everything went dark.

’Ah, I knew this was a bad idea...’ He thought as he slowly lost consciousness.
