The Unnamed God. I'm really Not a God You Guys!

Chapter 519: Death-Trap, Literally

There are a lot of worrisome glows all around. The four armies are all ready to fight. They are intently glaring at me as if I was the one that wanted to fight them in the first place. 

Oh well, time for some more illusion magic! I focus and curse the nearest guy... or try. It's not working! What is happening?! But that's when I see some of the slavers grin. They point to the ground. As I look downward, my stomach overturns, and the shock stops my breathing for a second. I'm going to be sick! 

Corpses are strewn everywhere around me in a grotesque circle. That is when I notice it. Their expression shows extreme unwillingness. These guys sacrificed plenty of slaves. So much that the ground is the color of blood. 

Unpardonable! Completely unforgivable! I can see a man that seems to be the slavers' leader smile smugly at me while going: "Know your place, trash. Before long, you will be nothing but one of our toys." 

Screw that guy! He's a monster in human shape. I charge at him. He probably won't expect me to act this quickly. I will rip him to shreds andCRASH! I get knocked backward as I collide into what seems to be an invisible barrier. 

There are ripples in the air that one can barely notice. It forms a huge cageone made with the sacrifice of innocents. Meanwhile, he keeps smiling. A huge victorious grin. It disgusts me so much. So damn much! 

"Hehe. I have heard of your kind before 'The ones that were touched by the gods'. How unlucky of you to have met me. Most on this god-forsaken continent wouldn't even have been able to understand it!"

What?! He knows?! 

"But I do know. You may possess great power, but it isn't infallible either. I shall strip you of this wonderful power. I shall make it mine. Hilarious how there is nothing you can do about it, isn't it? I have observed you. You are but a body cultivator. You are truly out of your league here!"

[You're crazy! What are you even talking about?!] 

"Playing dumb, are you? Well, this is fine. It cannot be helped. The cowardly fear the strong and the truth." 

That is when he begins to give directives to starts another sacrificial ceremony. I can feel my hair stand up. Is he really able to do that?! If he can?! No. A slave falls down, the man gleefully crushes him under his heel for fun. 

This being is evil, evil incarnate. I can feel myself growing cold. Whatever I do, he needs to die first. But he's so far away Ah. I can do this. I use all my acting talents. I fall to the ground in despair. This will be my first time using such an ability on land. I focus, I aim, and I fire. 

A golden stream gushes out extremely fast, right at his head. It explodes like a watermelon would, sending bits of gross matter everywhere. I feel dehydrated slightly, but the main villain is no more. Everyone around is shocked. I can hear their shouts of confusion. 

"What the hell happened?!"

"Did he just kill him by pissing on him?!" 

"This is ridiculous!" 

"Quick, we need to take him down as fast as possible!" 

"Wait, he was the only one that knew how to deal with one touched by the gods!" 

Ah, this is great news. I somehow just bought myself some respite. The invisible cage is still there, however. Somehow it is still standing, and I can't destroy it no matter how strongly I bash it. It's weird as fuck. How am I even supposed to ? 

That is when the Earth mages and the White Lotus people decide to start throwing stuff at me. The Sons of Steel are watching it all with keen interest. Comes a barrage of rocks and lotuses. Of course, all of these are the extremely deadly kind. 

I feel like an ant being played with. It infuriates me. I deserve freedom. I won't remain here. I actually have an idea! I'll just jump above this barrier! I crouch while focusing. That's when I jump so high that the spectators begin rubbing their eyes. 

I even realize such a feat while being truly 100% human. But I discover the hard way there is a ceiling to this thing. I then come crashing down hard. This is BS!. How am I not able to pass through, and yet spells can?! 

I keep trying to sense the barrier as I move. You know the kind of bullshit that works in fantasy novels. I'm using my scouting ability to try and make sense of it all. I still hope to find its weakness, one I can exploit. But no matter what, it doesn't seem to work. 

They have sent messengers, many of them. At this rate, this place will soon be crawling with even more sects. They seem to want my demise very badly for some reason. Is it because they think I'm a Gu User? Is it because of the crap the other guy said? Is it because of their pride?

I don't know. But these guys don't even deserve living. I tried asking them to leave peacefully, yet all I got was disdain and hostility. They wanted us to die. I just hope my friend will be fine.

I'm not even sure myself how I'd evade pursuit with a fruit fly. Any mount would be better to flee quickly. I can't help but ask myself something. What will I do if they manage to capture him? What if they use him as a hostage? What if they try to threaten me with his life? 

I don't think I could afford to sacrifice myself. Not when others are waiting for me. Even as I'm thinking that I'm still trying to find an exit. I'm punching. I'm scouting, too, without success. Ah, but that's when I notice something. 

Out in the distance, there seem to be 3 men and a horse slowly wandering. They seem to be lost, or perhaps just randomly roaming? I don't know, but as they approach, I notice something peculiar. The horse is undead?!

How is this possible?! Someone is just traveling with such a creature as a mount and hasn't been vanquished yet? The sects seem wary as they see him in the distance. I holler at him. 

[Hey, friend! Could you give me a hand!]
