Chapter 370: Ryun

Chapter 370: Ryun

Offensive

The battle was growing bloodier and bloodier. The Essence around Ryun was shaking in his vision and sense as he turned on his intent on it. The Oblivion that made his body started devouring air and light around him, turning his appearance into a rippling vaguely wolf like shape. He charged through the enemy forces, firing his flicker and cutting monsters to pieces. A group of monsters blinked in close and fast, they attacked and hit him hard enough that he stumbled. Strains of Qi channeled from his core, one, two, four, then a dozen, leaving his body in a rush of Oblivion to fill the area around him. His understanding and intent focused, he pulled his aura back, shortened the range and then he grabbed hold of the Oblivion Qi around him. In a split second he shaped a dozen techniques in the air around him, a dozen orbs of pure darkness appeared, floating in the air. A moment later they each fired on their own, cutting down any monster around him, strafing across lines but slicing only flesh.

Ryun didnt stop pushing his Qi out of his body, only lowered the amount as he started to shape techniques outside of it. But inside his body, he shaped another technique. His sense told him that the monsters around them had realized their threat. Thin beams of Oblivion were slicing monsters to pieces with every passing moment, while a rain of spears fell from up high, so many that they obscured the sky.Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

Ryun expanded his aura and kept firing with his orbs, replacing each that fired, keeping half a dozen of them around him at all times. He finished shaping the other technique and let his {Avatar of the Twilight Reaper} out. It manifested next to him, the intent of his body and Qi copied exactly. It would look and feel the same as Ryun himself, the Oblivion effect would prevent anything from identifying it as a copy.

As soon as it appeared, Ryun and it split off, the avatar taking a long leap to land in the middle of a monster group and unleashing a {Final End}. Ryun did the same, he leapt in the opposite direction. Attacks and monsters came at him, but Selia intercepted them all. He landed among a thick grouping of monsters, stomping and crushing some beneath his paws. Then he unleashed his own {Final End}. Monster disintegrated all around him as an expanding sphere of his technique washed over them.

They had been fighting non-stop since they joined the battle, and he had lost count just how many monsters they had killed. The area that had once been filled with the enemy was now a field full of death and destruction. They had changed the landscape, turned it into a crater filled plainthough that was mostly Selia. Ryun kept moving, hunting the monsters that were now trying to get away. The monsters had tried to gather and overwhelm them, but they had failed, their gathering had only made Selia and Ryun stronger. Now, Ryun could tell that there were less monsters because his stats were dropping. So, he went after them, chasing them, killing all the way.

His sense of the battle told him that the battle outside of the city had changed, the enemy was faltering, and the sects were rallying. Ryun and Selia moved with the monster tide, following, and killing across their lines. Nothing could stand in their way.

And so, she could feel the tide turn. The monsters were pulling back from the other fronts, gathering in front of the two of them. Trying to control the storm.

Nayra turned her attention back to her lines beneath her as they pushed the monsters back. With a beat of her wings and a Valkyries Descent, she came down on the enemy and continued to push the monsters back.

Eratemus strafed across the enemy line with his dragon mount spewing flame all the way. He had managed to delay the enemy long enough for the Sects to recover, but then something changed. He flew higher and looked on the opposite side of the city where a massive concentration of the enemy forces was being demolished by two people he recognized. The enemy was pulling forces from all fronts in response to losing so many of them there.

And yet, his experience told him that something wasnt quite right. He flew over the shaking city, and beneath the battle that raged in the sky. He observed the entire field. It seemed like they were winning, at least outside of the city, but the battle still raged inside of it.

Eratemus pulled out formations out of his storage, sensory and scanning ones that required a lot of his Qi which he couldnt easily restore in this vessel. Still, he spent it. One of his formations returned a ping that was strange. Eratemus turned his eyes in the direction the formation pointed and saw nothing, only empty land beyond the fighting. He used more formations, but none of them returned anything. The one that showed a ping was a formation that was supposed to detect stealthed individuals. The ping that it returned was strange as well. The direction was too wide, spanning kilometers, it could be a mistake. But Eratemus ordered his dragon in that direction. He flew over the battle and moved away from it. He approached the empty hills and plains, and now his other formations started to pick up on things. He frowned, but then there was a shimmering as if something passed over him, and the expanse changed. What was empty land and skies turned into something far different.

Monsters marched, a second army. And at its head was General that was familiar to him, the one that led the charge through the portal in the Tournament City, the one that fought Yirrel.

Eratemus turned around, heading back to the battlefields, he flew as fast as he could as flying Generals pursued him. The battle wasnt won yet.
