Chapter 411: Kri and Hiro

Chapter 411: Kri and Hiro

Cold

The monster loomed over her, raising its hand, ready to cut her down with claws as long as she was tall. Kri pushed all of her Qi through her body, increasing her stats with her {Absolute Mantle}. She pushed off the ground, but realized immediately that she wasnt going to be fast enough. Then a blade of Wind carved a line across the ground, the Wind howling. She saw the turtle shell on the monsters back flash and shield of glowing light appear around it. The attack cut through it, and one of the monsters heads roared in pain. Then the monster moved, slipping to the side, and Kri had to blink as her mind played tricks on her. For a moment, it was almost as if it was in two places at the same time. The blade of Wind missed, instead of cutting it in half its arm was sliced off, sent spinning through the air to crash on a construction site next to it, its weight cracked the wall and support beams, which collapsed and brought the whole thing down.

Kri got to her feet and saw Zach there, getting ready to attack again. She knew that everything would be all right and looked around to see if anyone else needed help. Then, before she had a chance to do anything, light surrounded Zach, it pulsed and then winked out, taking Zach with it.

For a moment, everything froze, and then the monster roared again. Kri didnt know what had just happened, but she realized that the monster was still a threat. She jumped to the side as the monster turned in anger. All three of its mouths were open wide, releasing a screech that made her ears hurt. She saw a group of Sect Warriors, that had approached from a street nearby, fall to their knees and grab hold of their heads.

Kri knew that she had to act, and quickly. The monster swiped with its remaining arm, destroying another building. Arrows started to rain down on it from a distance, fired by Sect Warriors, but they did nothing. Slits in space opened up and blade attacks from Hiro hit it all over its body, but they barely did anything.

Even without its arm, bleeding everywhere, the monster didnt seem to be slowing. She had to end the fight quickly, she didnt know what happened to Zach, or if anybody was coming to help.

It got close to Kri, and he saw it about to attack. He reacted immediately. He Shadow Blinked close, and released a Shadow Screech at the monster from the shadows nearby. Each of his attack with the blade before had lessened the monsters mental resistance, his Mindrend attunement made it so. The cold was biting, and he knew that he had to get out of the area, but he used Mental Lag on it to buy Kri more time, then he blinked away.

From the distance he watched and saw Kri release a powerful technique. An expanding sphere of Qi blasted out of her and froze everything. He saw the air form crystals all around her, the ground get covered in ice, the buildings, rime ice formed everywhere as all the liquid in the air froze.

The monster stopped, frozen in place like a statue, its eyes ruptured as the liquid in them froze and exploded into a mangled frozen mess in its eye sockets. The entire area turned to a frozen landscape where nothing could live. Yet Hiros |Analysis| quickly told him that the monster was still alive, somehow. He saw its shell glow, and then its entire body. Light spread in cracks beneath ice and he knew that the only thing that made sense was a suicide attack that would destroy everything.

Hiro acted, he infused perks, layering them over his blade as he channeled his fruit technique. Old Heritage, to increase his stats. He focused Shadow Infusion on his blade, filling it with Shadow Essence. He could feel the strain on the blade, knew that it wasnt good enough to handle this for long. Then, he used True Link Arsenal Blade, infusing it with the Essence of the Blade itself, making it stronger. Then as the monster in the distance started to glow brighter, he unleashed his technique.

He swiped with his blade and [Aspect StrikeShadow], space rippling in front of him as it sent his blade somewhere else. In front of the monster space folded, and a black blade covered in Shadow emerged.

It struck the monster in the chest and the ice cracked, then splintered. The monster fell apart into pieces, the deep parts of it that hadnt been frozen before turned to ice instantly in the area around Kri. Ice chunks rained on the street, the glow disappeared, and Hiros blade shattered.
