《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 16: Sword World
Advertisement
When two warriors of the same caliber meet, it's like a bomb going off. No greeting, no half assed punches. Both Shenzi and the demon general unsheath their swords, within a split second clashing into each other fifteen times.
Dashing at each other with unbridled fighting intent, each individual will billowing through the roof, with no thought of retreat, only the way to kill their opponent the fastest while preserving their life. Upon unleashing both Unification sword realm, a 10 meter long combined Saber/Sword appears behind Shenzi, while a 10 meter tall twin headed dragon appears behind the demon general.
Reaching the peak mentality both Shenzi and the demon general swing their swords, crashing into each other like two raging bulls. Stepping on his opponent's foot, Shenzi goes into the side of the demon general. As if like two magnets connecting together, both Shenzi and the demon general fight it out like two street thugs. Weapons in hand moving continuously while slashing each other's body like maniacs.
With neither backing down, this fight is all about mentality. The first one to give in would be offering their life up to the other, every second is a ticking time bomb, one slip on either side would send one to meet their respective grave. A battle like this is already beyond an "ordinary" fight, with each other's extreme self confidence in their Dao and their self, either backing down or defending would injure themselves. Shenzi and the demon general are both headstrong figures, both gnawing at each other like the hearts demon.
While on the ground is an earth rumbling fight between two equally match opponents, the Saber and Twin headed dragon are equally as brutal. Each a manifestation of their owners will, one is the dragon in full confidence in himself, the combined Sword/Saber the personification of cutting down everything in its path.

While testing each other out, both fighters are like a sponge. Absorbing each other's fighting style, learning from their form and techniques. Both are like a mirror, opposite to each other, yet both Shenzi and the demon general are advancing as they fight. Each other's Sword Intent becoming more ethereal, more flexible by the passing second gaining more wounds on their body. Yet remaining steadfast like the tallest tree in the forest during a storm.
Fully giving into his battle instinct, Shenzi shuts down all thought process of his mind. Going into a similar state to a beast zoning in onto its prey, Shenzi's body reacts while "listening" to the movement of the demon general's muscles moving and tendons twitching, feeling the movement of Sword Intent in the air. Shenzi begins to form a mind of a chess board in his mind.
On each end are Shenzi and the demon general, picturing each movement and next possible attack. Shenzi begins to form up his own unbreakable defense, despite not defending himself. Shenzi always attacks first breaking the demon generals rhythm, each passing second the demon general feels as if he's suffocating. Getting drowned in the waves of Shenzi polishing the rust off of his sword techniques, Shenzi begins unleashing them all in his instinct mode. The shackles bordering the Sword World realm begins loosening up.
Natural born fighters like Shenzi are the toughest to fight, through every battle all the accumulated "rust" and bad battle "habits" get's shaved off. Just like how working with wood, to use sandpaper to smooth it out giving it a clean looking finish. Shenzi is precisely that "block of wood" constantly sharpening himself and his abilities.
Gaining continuous enlightenment and absorbing them into his own form. Shenzi's movements become more fluid, the control over his Sword Intent progressing leaps and bounds. Reaching the peak of his momentum, Shenzi dips his Worldly Purification into nine different spots with Castor and Pollux forming the core. In his empty left hand, an identical replication of Worldly Purification forms itself, blazing a White-Blue aura. And the main body of Worldly Purification blazing a Purple-Gold aura.

Levering in a sideways position hovering 2 feet apart from each other, both auras begin merging to form a corporeal world of swords. Combining both twin copies of Worldly Purification forming into a sword lotus. All the gathered aura erupts into a nine layered column, rubbing against each side of the column a pure Chaos energy begins being born. Absorbing it into the twins Worldly Purification. Shenzi cleaves down with heaven destroying might, forming a cross with the demon general at the core. All the converged aura and Sword Intent exploding out with the demon general as the core.
Crashing into the earth forming a six meter deep pit, with blood flowing from all orifices of the demon generals body. Shenzi sheaths his Worldly Purification walking over to the pit where the demon general lays in his own blood, "Today I will not end your life. Despite you being a demon you're a magnificent warrior to fight with. I hope for one day to cross swords with you again. Until then nothing else but my blade will claim your life."
"Congratulations host has broken through into the Sword World Realm"
"Congratulations host has gained insight into the Gemini constellation"
"Congratulations hosts Sword Intent has given birth to Worldly Purifications spirit"

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

The Heroic Tales of Silas Horne
In the year 1858, the system came to the world. It brought with it beings from fantasy and mythology the likes of which the world had never seen before. In the American frontier, a place already known for being a dog eat dog world the system gave bandits the capacity for untold violence, not to mention monsters and system loving fanatics hell-bent on the murder of the innocent. But are they truly so innocent? No one knows what the system is or why it came, they do know one thing though. That the world post system isn't a place for a hero. Luckily for the world, U.S Marshall Silas Horne is no such man. ----- AN: This story is a litRPG inspired by "Randidly Ghosthound" and "The New World" but after reading many such stories and finding them to be a tad samey I decided to write this in a new setting, the Wild West. Also, my release schedule is chaotic, expect at least one 1000 word chapter each day but probably like two more will also be released.

Sick - An Irondad Story
"I looked over at my usually gallant father, who had dried tears streaking his face. I felt awful, not because I was in pain, but because I made my father heartbroken. I never wanted him to feel this pain." Or, Peter's battle with a terminal illness that will destroy so much more than himself. This was a school project, so I had to cut some real MCU things out, but other then that the names stay the same. 06/20/2022 AN: Hey guys. This story is five years old at this point. That's pretty crazy. While I have moved on to other fandoms in that time, it's great to see people interacting with this. I'm not sure how well it holds up, especially with Creep by Radiohead being in it (idk what I was thinking lmfaoo), but I'm glad to see that some people still enjoy it. Have a good one. :)
