Chapter 18 (1/2)
Looking at the hall filled with skeletons and gaseous snakes, Wu Yan is completely speechless.
It really is hard to imagine with so many lv10 youkai staying in Hakuo, how can the students of Hakuo still be able to enjoy their comfortable school lives. Logically speaking, these cute little fuglies should have turned Hakuo into a chaotic ma.s.s burial mound.
Hakuo has a lot of strong individuals, that’s for sure. Like lv18 Hinagiku, her crazy sister also has a lv of 15, those butlers with special abilities should at the very least also have lv 10. Be that as it is, in Hakuo, the majority is made up of normal human, they’re all lv0.
Against a horde of lv10 youkai army, they won’t even know what hit them…
In this kind of context, why did they stay here obediently without storming out and creating a big mess?
Did the youkai leader have other plans?
Or perhaps… is there some sort of special circ.u.mstances which is stopping them from going out.
“!!!”
In the air, the general eating crow cawed ominously and the hordes of skeleton and corpse spirit rushed at him. The scene looked like a cavalry charge, it made him let out a drop of cold sweat.
It’s just a legion of lv10 youkais, but with such a number, he don’t know if he will get lynched to death, but that shock and awe element is definitely there.
Barely laughing, he tightened his grip.
In a split second, his position is completely surrounded by hostiles. Decapitating 4 skeletons, he tried retreating but there’s a wall behind him. Backed into a wall, he can only push forward!
Grabbing a skeleton, he used it as a meat s.h.i.+eld to plow his way through. Making a path out of the skeleton mobs, he stopped and flinged the skeleton in his hands at a mob of skeletons, again blasting a bunch of skeletons away.
Sensing a cold sensation behind him, he jumped, at the same time, a few corpse spirit crashed against his previous position creating a dust cloud. Using them as a foothold, he stepped forward while swinging his sword, cutting down them before making a quick escape from there.
His previous position is once again a.s.saulted by corpse spirits. He twisted his body and leaped a few times before finding a foothold.
He turned around and cleaved the mob once more. He’s slightly losing his breath, he had never encountered this kind of encirclement before. He had only ever challenged isolated demonic beast to solo duels before chopping them to pieces, when did he ever have the chance to experience group fights?
Put into a group battle, he quickly noticed his weakness, he doesn’t have AOE (area of effect) skills!
Employing hit and run tactics, he really had no other alternatives.
At this rate, either he gets lynched to death or he will tire himself to death. This endless horde of mobs…when will he finish slas.h.i.+ng his way through them.
Must buy an AOE skill!
Haggardly dodging attacks, he opened the menu searching for a suitable power.
The general eating crow looked like it lost its patience and screamed once more. The youkai army then raised their offense intensity like they just took some adrenalin shots. Reflected in his rapidly narrowing pupil, the army slammed against him altogether…
“Banggg!!!”
In the giant underground hall, a big dust cloud was stirred up, covering the entire hall. The whole place fell silent.
“Chaotic return…”
A low voice came from the heart of the skeleton and corpse spirit heap. Along with the voice the army started to shake, in the area closest to the center, the skeletons and spirit were minced into pieces.
“to horizon waltz!!!”
A giant formless round arc radiated from the center. Be it skeleton or corpse spirit, anything that touched the arc was sliced to pieces, their companions all died in droves turning into sc.r.a.ps on the floor.
Until one fourth of the skeletons and spirits are wiped out did the round arc finally dimmed down, revealing his silhouette…
His appearance might appear worn, but he didn’t really suffer any damage, he managed to buy the ability in time to save himself from a pinch!
Chaotic return to horizon waltz (TL:乱返天际之舞, any better sounding names?): Sword slash skill, using a hard to describe trajectory to move the sword, forming a circular arc slash with the atmosphere around oneself. It can be used as a close range as well as ranged attack, expressed in the form of a qi slash; 5000 Ap.
He hatefully stared at the skeletons and corpse spirits in front of him. Even for just a moment, they managed to make him feel the presence of death, he had encountered it before when hunting demonic beasts, but encountering and up close confrontation are two separate things.
G.o.d d.a.m.ned skeletons and fart snakes, just because this young master (TL: 小爷我) is not flipping out, you’re going to treat me like I’m doraemon?!
Holding the sword with both hands, he raised Kusanagi sword. Leaving a slight trace behind, the invisible atmosphere began to coat the sword, condensing into a light circle around it. He aimed at the place with the most hostiles and swung his sword!
“Chaotic return to horizon waltz!!!”
The light circle emitted a brilliant light and shot out from the sword in the shape of an arc. Anything it touched was turned into powder mixed in with the dust swirling around in the air….
Once again exterminating a f.u.c.k ton of skeletons and corpse spirits, he chuckled and a light circle swirled around his sword once more before being flung out!
After three times of chaotic return to horizon, he decimated the youkai army and made the giant hall vacant once again.
“Hu….”
Spitting out a tired breath, he looked mercilessly upon the remaining enemy in front of him, the general eating crow that’s still flying furiously around over there!
Putting some force into his leg, he sprung towards it at high speed. Under the sound of wind pa.s.sing him, he arrived in front of the crow and stabbed it in the chest, spilling its green blood!
“!!!”
