I Hate Systems

"Shoot!" Upon Yaotorr's command, Zorn pulled the string of his bow to the limit before launching the arrow with a whistling sound.

His arrow formed a trail through the air before slamming into a Martial Providence Stage cultivator, shattering one of his limbs when he transformed into a beast.

Within a second, Zorn launched a second arrow, continuing to do the same. Each of his arrows possessed devastating power, annihilating his enemies. After all, he had an Earth martial Spirit, one that was known for its high density.

And his fusion material allowed him to bend and control it to his will, thereby able to unleash heavy attacks without much difficulty. After all, he too was at the Martial Providence Stage.

He was currently at the Fifth Layer of the Martial Providence Stage while his sister, Zora had recently completed a successful breakthrough. She was part of another unit that was in charge of transporting supplies thanks to her Martial Spirit's nature.

Slowly, as he continued to launch the arrows one after another, Zorn's mood became heavy and complex. After all, the ones he was killing were part of the army raised by his Master's colleagues.

But, his Master had warned him to not participate in this battle and only focus on defending his home and livelihood, for in the end, only that mattered. This was why he joined this war, because it was necessary to protect their home.

Though, he had zero intentions to lay down his life for the cause. If the situation turned dangerous, he was ready to turn tail and flee. He and Zora had already communicated beforehand of the actions they would take to signal one another to flee.

They would just flee and set up home in some other safer Realm. Considering their strength, both of which had reached the Martial Providence Stage, they would be safe no matter where they went.

Moreover, before they arrived at the battle, they had sold their house and all other properties that they had accumulated over the years, converting them into Essence Stones, Pills, and Artifacts that they stored in their respective spatial pouches.

And just for this cause, Zorn had spent a fortune to obtain his hands on a flight-based Artifact, intending to rely upon it in times of need. Neither he nor Zora was capable of flight.

As he thought as such, Zorn gazed at Tura City that was behind him, seeing the massive number of troops stationed there, packed to the brim.

Sighing, he announced that he had run out of Origin Essence and stepped down from the city wall, slowly making his way to a recovery unit in order to replenish his Origin Essence.

Along the way, he suddenly paused, surprised to see a familiar figure that he hadn't seen after the first time. It was Ranze, calmly making his way towards the wall.

'It's of no concern to me.' He thought, continuing forth the journey.

As for Ranze, he had a solemn mood, reaching the top of the wall as he condensed his bow, loaded an arrow and launched it.

The arrow seemed weightless at first glance before sparking with lightning currents as it slammed into a Martial Providence Stage cultivator, killing him in one hit. And that wasn't all, a second later, the arrow exploded, causing a lot of sparks to lash out and kill a lot more people.

"Tch! This would go nowhere at this rate." Lota groaned, seeing members on their side drop down in large numbers. She suddenly flew towards a certain direction and began to spin in place, suddenly emitting a dense life force as immediately after, trees shot up from the ground, unleashing their crown grandly.

The acid dripped on the trees and affected them. But by the time it made its way through the canopy of trees, the acid lost all strength to the tree sap that was ejected by the trunk and branches.

The number of trees steadily grew in response as soon after, a large forest bloomed.

"Phew!" Lota sighed in relief upon seeing that the situation stabilised soon after as her army of treants recovered by drinking the tree sap to heal their injuries.

But, right when she planned to counterattack, she shuddered, sensing the Luck of the Happy-Go-Lucky System flow into her for a moment before vanishing, "Dwun…died? Already? Dammit!"

At the same time, all the System Hosts felt the changes, no longer delaying as they charged at Tura City.

Straxia was the first to take action as a portal flashed in the air, revolving at terrifying speeds as soon after, a bolt of lightning, as thick as a two metres flashed out of it, entering one of the Reality Marble's entrances before slamming into the thick of it.

Boom!

The Reality Marble's boundary was destroyed by the lightning as it began to crumble. As for the acid remaining within the Reality Marble, it began to disappear.

After all, the Reality Marble's creation was being undone. So the same principle also applied to all the contents that were produced by it.

All the acid chucked by this Reality Marble vanished immediately after as the pressure on part of the army reduced.

Not even a second later, six other lightning bolts slammed into the remaining Reality Marbles, destroying them all.

"The acids have vanished." An Arena Realm Martial Providence Stage powerhouse bellowed, rushing out of the thicket of trees as he turned into a cloud, "Charge!"

"Charge!"

Everyone bellowed one after another, raising their fighting spirit in unison as they charged at the Tura Fort.

Kieee!

The Blazing Sun Clan Leader turned into a flaming bird and took off to the skies, breathing out a sea of flames that stuck to the forest, slowly burning them. It wasn't a normal fire and hence, couldn't be put off so easily.

The cloud immediately charged at the flaming bird, unleashing rain that slammed like bullets.

In response, the flaming cloud erected a shield of flames, defending against the attacks, generating a lot of mist in the process. Immediately, the Martial Providence Stage powerhouses from the two armies collided, followed by the experts.

Instantly, the battle entered a high pitch, resulting in the violent chucking of countless Origin Arts.

It was war!
