Cultivation Through Artifacts-Chapter 16: All Seeing Vision

Chapter 16: All Seeing Vision

“You will pay for what you have done today…”

“…”

The two assassins hearing what Khal said looked at each other in silence and after a few seconds, suddenly both of them broke out in crazy laughter.

“Hahaha! He… Did he really just say what I heard? Pay for what we have done? Haha! How cute! Like this, it will be much better to kill you!”, said the maskless man while smiling and started to walk forward.

Or at least, he just wanted to walk forward, but suddenly was grabbed from behind making him to halt his movement instantly.

Turning his head back, the assassin saw as his partner shook his head gently, while holding him in one place by his shoulder.

“Don’t forget that we need him alive. I will knock him out, so don’t waste your strength and just leave him to me.”

“Tsk… Whatever…”, answered the maskless man with a click of his tongue, and without arguing further he stepped back a few meters with an annoyed expression.

“Perfect.”, said the masked man with a slight nod and turned his head toward Khal.

After pointing his index finger at him, he said in a calm tone, “Sorry kid, but this will hurt you a bit.”

As Khal heard this, he raised his guard up instantly and watched as the man flicked his finger to the side.

He knew that the masked man’s power was to control objects through levitation, but the moment he saw him waving his hand to the side he started to smile slightly.

“So it’s not levitation.”

As Khal said this, he jumped backward a few meters and watched as the air where he stood a moment ago started to vibrate, and a few seconds later it turned back to it’s original state.

“!”

The assassin seeing this, looked surprised, but still not letting this to influence him, he waved his hand again.

However, just like the last time, Khal jumped away without hesitation, while the air where he was a moment ago started to vibrate for a few seconds then stop as nothing happened at all.

“How?”, asked the assassin with great surprise and started to wave his hand around, but this time with greater vigor than before.

While jumping here and there to avoide the assassin’s every attack, Khal’s expression remained terrifyingly calm. Not a single emotion could be discerned on his face as he was slowly approaching the man.

Normally, he wouldn’t have been able to do something like this in the past, but with his currently obtained power, everything before him became… Simple.

The moment the assassin used his ability, Khal realized that the trick behind his power was not levitation, but simple air pressure control.

Each time he waved his hand, he would create an area around his target which would start to vibrate. By controlling the air pressure around the victim inside that area, he could easily do whatever he wanted to.

Restricting the target’s movements or attacking it, the man was able to do anything he wanted. But only if the target was inside his area which he was controlling the moment. If not, then his power would become completely useless, just like now.

At the very first time when Khal was attacked by this ability, he was not able to react to this power in time because the air vibration was hardly visible. But now that he got his Heaven’s Eyes, everything has changed completely.

No matter where the attack came from, before his eyes no movement could escape no matter what. Even if someone tried to attack him from the rear, he would be able to easily dodge, showing just how powerful his Heaven’s Eyes truly were.

However because his eyes were this powerful, they had several disadvantages too.

Firstly, the range where he could see things as he wished was limited down to only 5 meters. Outside that range, his Heaven’s Eyes didn’t work at all and his sight was just as normal as it originally would be.

Secondly, it was quite visible that the eyes put immense pressure on him mentally. He needed to completely concentrate on his surroundings to be able to see his proximity from all angles. And naturally, no human was able to concentrate for several minutes straight without getting exhausted or taking a break.

Concentrating on his environment to catch the slightest movement in the air when the assassin tried to attack him, was quite a challenge.

Lastly, the biggest and most obvious problem with this power was that except for the great sight, it didn’t give anything else to the owner. Meaning if the one who was using this power was non-combatant and had no idea how to fight, this power would become totally useless.

Luckily, Khal was able to learn a few basic fighting methods in his past life when he was a small kid, but out of that, he was no better than a beginner fighter.

And this fact showed itself right at the moment. Even though he learned self-defense and how to avoid easier assaults, he was still struggling to avoid the assassin’s attacks and this was also because of his Heaven’s Eyes support.𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

If he didn’t have them or his basic knowledge to fight, he would have been knocked unconscious with serious injuries a long time ago if not dead.

“Still… I know that I can do this!”, thought Khal and with a determined expression started to quicken his pace.

However, just as he wanted to step forward, suddenly out from nowhere, the maskless man appeared behind his back and slashed at his neck with an ice-cold face.

“Die!”

Khal seeing this however wasn’t surprised at all.

He was entirely aware of this man’s doing until this very moment. He saw every move he was doing behind him, even though he didn’t see him precisely with his eyes.

“Thanks, but I refuse!”, said Khal calmly, and after leaning forward to avoid the knife, he spun around and kicked at the man powerfully in the waist with his heel.

*Bam!*

“Gah!”

Instantly as the leg hit his side, the man grimaced and grunted slightly and immediately started to take a few steps back while holding his waist in pain.

Khal wanted to continue his assault and kill the exposed man before him, but just before he could have done so, suddenly the air around him started to vibrate yet again.

“!”

Jumping to the side, scarcely avoiding the attack from the masked man, Khal stopped moving and thought calmly, “No matter how much I want to kill that bastard, first I need to take his friend out!”

Without any further hesitation, Khal started to run toward the masked assassin again, while evading the attacks, from both him and the man without a mask.

*Swish!*

*Bam!*

*Swish!*

*Bam!𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

Every time Khal dodged an attack from the masked man, he was invited by another assault by the maskless man from a different direction.

However, even like this that he was attacked by two people, Khal was doing relatively great.

Continuously dodging the long-ranged attacks, while avoiding the close ones and counter-attacking them at the same time by using his leg or knife, Khal has finally arrived before the masked man.

Entering into close combat range, Khal’s expression turned ice cold and without hesitancy, he waved the knife in his hand toward the masked man’s neck.

However, just before the knife could have reached the man’s neck, suddenly a familiar yet eerie sound came from the side.

“Got you!”
