Chapter 4

• Redd Wayne can't help but fully focus as he tries to ignore Jude's resistance. Timing is everything in the upcoming moments.
• "Let go! Let go of me! Or I will curse you and all of your bloodline! Even if I die here I'll make sure..." Jude was shouting as he was still trying his best to release himself from his 'passenger's grip but to his surprise Redd suddenly released him.
• As expected, Redd who release his 'vessel' started to fall.
• "At least you know what's good for you!" Jude remarked as he felt his momentum increase again. He can't help but mock his former passenger believing his bluffing.
• But just as he though that he could finally make it. A pair of hand suddenly gripped both his feet.
• "You..." Jude was about to curse when he was pulled hard by that pair of hand.
• Redd borrowed the momentum of the pull to exchange places with Jude. Then he bend his knees and step both feet on Jude's shoulder.
• Then he used Jude as his stepping stone and jump towards the now smaller vortex.
• "Aahhhh!" Redd finally muttered a sound as his strecthed hand tries to reach the edge of the vortex.
• "I'll kill you!" Jude shouted as his momentum started to pick up again after he was pushed by Redd's step.
• But...
• "No!" Jude shouted again. As this time his newly built momentum suddenly came to halt.
• The sunction force of the voltex finally came to stop.
• Luckily for Redd, his momentum is not built by the sunction force. Rather, it was build when he stepped on Jude shoulder.
• "Tap!" Redd's palm sounded as he manage finally hit the edge of voltex.
• Since the voltex does not recognize Redd as it's subject then it seems like it's composition is does not apply for the latter.
• The voltex that is composed of high speed rotating air is like solid wood for Redd.
• Redd gripped his hand on the voltex and pulled himself up. But he is not done yet.
• He turn around and faced the now falling Jude.
• Jude also take this moment to look at the man who used him. Anger and hatred was all over his face. At this moment he finally understood everything.
• That man did come here with them. He was a remnant of the previous generation of fate. Though his body did not aged, his soul did. He was no longer below 20 then he is no longer qualified to be part of this batch. Thus, the vortex rejects him.
• As for why he was left behind it no longer matters. What he was sure is, he was used by this man.
• Jude focused his eyes in every details of the man above. Though the latter is wearing a mask, his aura, his eyes and body proportion, to a cultivator, this can hardly change.
• So with determined face he said, "I'll find you in hundred years. There, I'll have my rev... No!"
• Just as Jude was about to finish his words, Redd Wayne pulled something from an storage bag.
• "I like everything on it but this one. You can keep it!" Redd said then with full force, he throws the thing towards Jude.
• A knife, Jude's knife that was pulled by Redd from the former's storage bag, fly at high towards Jude's forehead.
• "Wha... why?" Jude could only cry as he is currently defenseless. Being airborne and free falling, what could he do but watch his very own knife rush towards him.
• "Character!" Redd Wayne answered in single word. As he thinks that it is but proper to at least give a reason to his victim. Maybe just a way of saying thank you or so could Jude would not think that he died out of nothing but a punishment for his previous action.
• Besides, Redd would not let Jude to become a treat to him in the future.
• Such answer manage to hit Jude's reasoning as the knife also penetrated his forehead. At least he did not died unresolved.
• As Jude's lost his life, Redd turned around and rushed to the other edge of the vortex.
• The vortex is now six feet in diameter. Redd Wayne who is 5'9" could barely stand. He release all his internal energy as he focused all in his speed.
• The vortex is a kilometer long and it is getting smaller by the seconds. By the time Redd manage to reach the 500 mark, he is no longer running but crawling like a monkey. Nonetheless, his speed was unaffected.
• Yet when he was but 100 meters from the exit, Redd Wayne could only use nails to help himself move forwards. His shoulders has no longer any space to move and much more his shoulder and knees.
• Regret somehow pop-up in his mind. Should he just rushed forward and ignore Jude when he finally made it to the vortex earlier?
• But in the end he stand still on his previous decision. As he did not kill Jude for himself alone. By common sense, after a hundred years, he is way stronger than Jude. Making them a no match.
• Yet, even if Jude can no longer reach him, the people around the former will surely suffer. And his first victims will surely the next generation of fate.
• Redd is also sure that Jude realize all his reasons earlier, so definitely Jude will use those knowledge so he could escape here.
• Jude is a trouble in a making once he was allowed to continue living wherever and whenever it maybe. So Redd made such a move. Of course, he refuse to regret it.
• 50 meters left and all of Jude's fingertips are now bleeding. Some nails are already gone and depression is now coming in to play.
• He can no longer move an inch as his is now fully pressed by the 'walls' of the vortex. Sleepness is now taking its tool as his consciousness is starting to fade.
• If any other cultivators were to face such situation, they for sure will succumb to the situation. But Redd Wayne is not like any other cultivator. He who had been living for hundred as a soul, how could his consciousness be weak.
• "One hundreds of confinement and this is his ending."
• "No! No! No! And no!" Redd Wayne shouted as he keep his consciousness awake. With a determined eyes, he look towards the exit.
• The vortex hole is now but an 8 inches in diameter.
• Seeing his situation, Redd runs his mind to find a solution. He tried to remember anything he saw over the years that might be similar to his current situation.
• Yes, over the 100 years of his stay in the Land of Nature, what else could he been doing since his body was turned into stone? Observe!
• "Of course!" he shouted.
• Finally, a situation came to his mind!
• A caterpillar in a cocoon!
• "There is still hope!" Since there is a similar situation then there is a solution!
