Luca was having a nice dream when he suddenly felt a suffocating pressure. He immediately woke up, fully alert. His new instincts were telling him that a terrifying and threatening presence was nearby. Subconsciously his body had transformed to his evolved form with his claws fully extended and his sense at full alert.

Within a few seconds, he noticed an overbearing and overwhelming scent from 9 beings that were outside the city walls. They had the smell of a unique flower, one that was sweet in smell. Even if they smelled nice his instincts were telling him to run away and never look back. Deep down he felt his azure fox bloodline, specifically, the demon part was starting to get anxious, it wanted to fight, but it knew that based on the smell that they were out of his league. He then transformed back to his human form and went downstairs to see what was happening.

Outside the city of Greenwood, the city Luca lived in, where 9 angles. They were all 6 feet tall. Eight of them were wearing a red and gold colored oval helmet on that had a "T" opening for the eyes and nose. On the sides of the helmet where the ears would be, there were red feathers that looked like angel wings attached to both sides. On the top of the helmet, there was a red mohawk that went down the back of the helmet. Those eight had a pair of beautiful white wings on their back.

They wore heavy red and gold plate armor, that was so beautifully crafted that it belongs in an art museum. The armor covered every part of their body not leaving a single spot exposed. Each one had a longsword that had Salvon words engraved on it. It was a beautiful silver sword.

The last angel was in the middle, he was different from the other eight. He wasn't wearing a helmet and only had a beautiful red domino mask covering his upper face. He had long blond hair that reached to his shoulders. He had golden eyes and had four strong white angel wings on his back, two on each side. He wore the same armor, but his weapon was something to behold. It was a gold and silver two-handed great sword. It was 2 meters long and it had the width of 7 inches. This man was Renzo and his squad. He was the captain of the blood angels'.

They were outside the city walls that were made from ordinary bricks that simple Salvon engravings that would increase the strength of the walls to resist cultivators. But it was too weak and could only stop mind consolidation cultivators. The group looked at the town. One of the blood angels went up to Renzo.

"Captain, shouldn't we be secretly scouting out the place? Aren't we a little too noticeable, where not evening hiding our presence."

"Those disgusting devils are nowhere to be seen. I already sent someone to scout before we arrived. They found no signs of an ambush and this town doesn't belong to any major powers. I thought I sensed something but there are no signs of bloodline holders anywhere. But I do sense ordinary human cultivators but there to weak to be a threat. I believe the reason the ritual happened was that someone found an inheritance by accident."

"Then what do we do? If that's true there probably unaware and are hiding their presence because of their appearance and not because of the danger of being discovered. How should we proceed?"

"Simple, we just kill everyone. If you kill a bloodline holder their body returns to their evolved form. If we don't find him here then we keep looking, nobodies going to miss these inferior beings" His breathing increased and his faced flushed when he finished

The blood angels looked at each other and shrugged. To the angel's, humans were used to serving them as slaves. If they died then just get another one, they viewed them as expendable toys. They were bloodline inheritors, meaning that they were born angels because their parents were also angels. To them humans where a different species. But they knew about their captain's fetish for killing and torturing. Over time they got used to his fetish, so this was just another mission.

Then they saw from the city walls that fifty cultivators where to fly towards them on ordinary longswords. They rode their swords till they were 100 feet away from the angels. The local cultivator sect of the town, the fire sword sect. The sect leader had sensed their presence early at the sect and had broken into a cold sweat.

The sect leader could tell who the leader of the group was based on the number of opened meridians. The leader was at the peak of power expansion realm (stage 3 level 3). While the other 8 were at the early power expansion realm (stage 3 level 1). But he was also at the peak power expansion realm, but his level of power was only half of what Renzo had. He realized that those people outside where bloodline holders.

The leader of the sect was in a panic as he gathered all the power people of the sect. He gathered everyone as fast as possible and told them to follow him. He brought along 25 peak mind consolidation cultivators (stage 2 level 3) and 10 early power expansion cultivators and 10 intermediate power expansion cultivators (stage 3 level 2). The other 5 including him were at the peak of power expansion.

When the sect leader arrived in front of the angels he looked at Renzo.

"Excuse but what's your purpose for visiting Greenwood?" He said respectfully.

Renzo was amused by this and decided to humor him.

"Oh, I was just taking a stroll and found this place. The problem is that I found a bunch of rats living in it so I'm going to clean up the place." He smiled as if he was talking to his friend about some causal event.

The sect leaders' eyes widen as he felt pressure be put on him. He could sense the killing intent from that smile. Some of the weaker cultivators where shaking and almost collapsed. The sect leader needed to do something to avoid a confrontation. He was afraid that if they fought they would be crushed even though they had numbers on their side. Sadly, some idiot from his group opened his mouth which sealed their fate.

A young and rash man looked at the angels in anger. He thought "How dare they talk to us like that!". The young man had never felt such disrespect after he started cultivating and he didn't know much about bloodline holders. He was confused as to why they where even negotiating, just crush the enemy.

"Hey, you cocky bastard don't talk down to us! Or you won't leave here alive!" He spits on the floor in disdain.

Most of the group nodded their heads in agreement while other shouted in agreement

"Yeah, that's right!"

"Who do they think they are!"

"Where the fire sword sect!"

With a boast of confidence, everyone was less worried and instead excited to test out their skills in battle. The sect leader felt like slapping that fool in the face. But it was too late as things were getting out of hand. Renzo was looking at the group indifferently as he ordered his blood angels.

"Kill them but leave the young lad that disrespected us, I want to play with him later" He giggled as he gave the command.

The blood angels got serious and their killing intent exploded. They pulled out their swords as they charged into the group in a triangle formation. The cultivators ran towards the angels in disorder, almost like a mob, undisciplined and lacking in coordination. The angels suddenly accelerated by flapping their wings, their speed doubled, and they but their swords to the front. The angels did an incantation.

"Spear of wrath!"

Their bodies glowed golden as a huge spear formed at the front of their triangle. The fire sword sect was caught unprepared before they could do any spells the spear made contact. The spear hit a group of 10 people and cut through them in an instant. They died in a blink of an eye as they exploded when they contacted the spear. Chunks of meat and blood went everywhere like an exploding watermelon. They kept moving forward as more where dying, it was a massacre they couldn't fight back. As the angels exited the back of the group of cultivators they split up into groups of two and turned around.

In that single charge, 25 had died, that was beyond belief. The four elders that were at the peak of power expansion looked at each other. They decided to split up and attack or else the sect would be destroyed. The angels weren't even using their magic spells and just cut down the survivors before they could perform any spells.

One of the elders, Hans, confronted two angels and performed a spell. He pointed his sword forward and a huge fireball the size of a small house flew at them. The two angels performed the same hand gestures as two golden shields appeared in front of them as they took the blast head-on.

You could see the fireball exploded in front of the angels. The ground was caved in and the ground was burnt black for meters in every direction. Spots of fire were still burning on the ground. Dust had blown everywhere mixed with fire, it was hard to see.

Hans was still alert and in a fighting position ready to respond. When the dust cleared you could see the two angels where fine. Not a single scratch was on them. The two angels looked at the man in disdain as one ran to the front while another flanked from behind. The angel in front lifted her sword to his her and then did an incantation.

"Speed blessing"

The angel legs where covered in golden light as her speed increased temporarily. Hans only saw a blur as he summoned a wall of fire in front of him. The other angel flew around him and cast a spell. The ground started to shake near Hans. Golden vines popped out everywhere from the ground near him. They had thorns on them as they attacked him trying to bind him.

Hans had to divert some attention as his sword glowed red. He did a back flip and slashed towards the vines to his right. A red curved line was shot out when he slashed. He landed on the ground and kept shooting out sword energy.

Then the wall of fire started to shake, it then exploded, an angel ran out from the wall. She looked at the elder and then pointed two fingers at him. Two spears of light materialized next to her and attacked the elder. The other angel increased the amount on vines.

Hans was caught off guard by the number of high-level spells that they kept throwing at him. He was feeling pressured and was worried about his sect members. He had to pull out his trump card, the elder stabbed his sword into the ground with both hands.

"Fire that provides and destroys, exploding sun!"

Hans was wrapped in flames, in front of his sword a compressed ball of fire was formed. He pulled out his sword and ran towards the angel that threw the spears of light. His power had increased and there was a compressed fireball at the tip of his spear. If you looked closely you could see that the space around the ball was starting to burn! It was burning everything in front of it even space itself!

The angel couldn't run away, Hans was to fast! As the elder pointed his sword towards the four spears, four small needs flew out from the ball and flew towards the spears. When they made contact with the spears of light they started to consume the spears like they were wood. In a second the spears were turned to ash. The elder kept running and when he was 20 feet away he shot the ball of fire towards her.

The angel did her best to dodge to the side, she saw the ball go past her. She thought that she had dodged it, but she was wrong. The ball was only 10 inches away from her back when it exploded. She could feel her wings being burned alive. Then she couldn't feel her wings anymore! Then there was a scorching pain all over her back, the pain overwhelmed her as he fainted falling face first onto the ground.

Hans was breathing heavily as he looked at the angel. Her wings had been turned to ash but the armor that was created by a peak power expansion blacksmith had protected her from death. The armor had used every bit of its power to take the blow before it disintegrated.

The angel was now naked and only had burnt marks on her back. With some internal damage but she would live. The elder knew this and was about to finish the job but then he was attacked by the second angel. Hans was breathing heavily and sweating as he blocked a sword attack.

The angel's sword clashed against his as he fell to one knee from exhaustion. Hans had used a powerful spell and was feeling exhausted. The angel looked angry as he kicked Hans in the stomach. Hans was sent flying back with blood coming out his mouth. From the corner of his eye, he could see the dead bodies of the 3 elders.

The sect leader was on his knees with blood coming out of his mouth. He had 3 swords sticking out of his back. Early the sect leader was fighting three angels at a time and was able to hold out for a time. He had been able to take an angel's arm and wing but that had left him open to counter attacks. In the end, he was impaled by three swords, he was on death's door.

Han's felt despair as he saw the dead bodies of all his sect members. Why did this have to happen to them, all they wanted was a peaceful life. Then Hans felt someone coming from the side. He moved his body to the side and blocked a sword that was coming from his left with his sword. Sparks flew as he was pushed back.

It was a different angel that came to help. Just as he blocked the sword, the angel that kicked him appeared in front of him. The angel stabbed Hans in the heart, he knew he was done for. The last thing Hans thought about before he died was his wife, who was waiting for him at Greenwood. The angel pulled out his sword and walked off towards the angel that had been burned.

The sect leader looked was coughing out blood as he looked at Renzo with bloodshot eyes and a face filled with rage. Renzo didn't lift a single finger the whole time, except when he captured the young man who had disrespected Renzo.

Renzo had cut off all his limbs and made him watch as his sect members died. The young man had seen the valiant effort of Hans as tears ran down his face. The sect leader knew he had very little time left in this world as he saw an angel going towards him with a sword. In his final moments, with difficulty, he opened his mouth and did an incantation.

"Send"

What he did was send a simple message to the fire sword sect. "We are all dead, evacuate the city and leave now!"

Just as he finished a sword went down and cut his head off. Renzo saw that everyone was dead and killed the young man. He was ready to destroy the city when he stopped and look in the distance with a slight frown. In the distance was a squad of cavalry. They were 10 riders using huge spirit beasts that looked like buff unicorns.

The spirit beast where at early power expansion realm. The rides where devils wearing light black plate armor that covered their chest, upper arms, and upper legs. They had a "Y" opening on their helmet and had 2-meter-long curved swords. In the middle was a woman with red hair. She had had two curved swords in each hand and was looking at Renzo. Her name was Emma.

"F*ck this is going to get complicated" Renzo looked at Emma.
