42 The first battle 2 (1/2)

It shot out of the ground, heading straight for Chàng Bo's chest.

Immediately Chàng Bo used his skill Celestial dance to dodge, yet the moment he moved aside the trajectory of the object changed, twisting in the air, and heading straight back at him.

Chàng Bo didn't have time to dodge again before the object was right next to him and only inches away from piercing into his chest. The most he could do was put his arms out in front of him and block.

A sharp metallic sound echoed out and sparks flew as Chàng Bo held the thing back with his bare hands.

It's forward momentum was too strong though, and Chàng Bo found himself being pushed upwards by the object, going higher and higher into the sky.

\”What the hell is this?!\” Chàng Bo thought with alarm.

It was green and oozing, it had various stalactites hanging off of its sides like jagged teeth and it was long. Coming out of the ground like endless rope as it continued to push Chàng Bo upwards.

Regardless of what this was, it was strong and Chàng Bo knew it would be fatal if he let it stab him.

He immediately activated his skill Supernova.

Recently he'd been training to compress this powerful and destructive skill into a single punch that would achieve destructive effects whilst only consuming a bit of his essence.

He wanted to see if all his hard work would pay off.

Steam wrapped around Chàng Bo's fist. All the star essences in the area rushed towards him, causing the sky to go black and the stars to shine bright despite it being early morning.

Energy built up in Chàng Bo's right arm, and as the Thing pushed him higher in the sky, he laughed a little as he tapped the front of the object slightly with his fist.

The thing paused and tried to retreat the moment it sensed danger, but Chàng Bo's fist had already tapped it.

It shuddered and spasmed.

Then suddenly it imploded.

It burst open, layers of thick slime exploding out.

Chàng Bo's supernova punch spread down the Thing like a firework, all the way to were it was connected at the ground.

As Chàng Bo's punch exploded the root of the Thing, it instantly caused the ground to shudder and all the snow across the Park evaporated.

\”Haha take that you… You spikey slimy thing!\” Chàng Bo yelled out.

Even though 'Spikey-slimy-thing' was a lame name, Chàng Bo was feeling pretty happy with himself as he watched that thing explode.

He smiled to himself, \”I was able to effectively utilise 5% of the supernova skill perfectly and I barely used any of my essence.\”

A devastating punch with barely any drawback. His control over the technique had improved immensely.

He was thinking to himself \”That's what you deserve slime thing, you shouldn't have messed with the future Celestial Sovereign, hmm\” but…. Then he looked down.

Its mouth was the span of the entire area.

Chàng Bo could see teeth the size of trees, and pulsating green slime flesh. It's mouth was a tunnel that seemed to lead into a bottomless abyss.

At that moment it yelled, an ear breaking piercing scream of pain that shook Chàng Bo's eardrums . It was like a high frequency screeching. Chàng Bo had to hold his ears.

The next second a roar that spread tremors and caused quakes sounded out.

Chàng Bo looked down in horror as he saw one hundred more of those spiky slime things shooting out of that thing. Heading straight towards him.

\”Shit!\”

….

\”Don't worry about Chàng Bo. He can handle it, and at the moment he's doing a great job at being a distraction.\” Gates said as it watched Chàng Bo

Mao Lu looked up at Chàng Bo who was flying frantically across the air as various vine-like-slime-spiked things chased him.

He was worried about Chàng Bo but he knew he had to concentrate on the task at hand. He needed to learn this incantation now.

He closed his eyes and mentally repeated the words \”Fkeur Hudbhac Fkeur summmhe Fkeur hmmm sundrum Fkeur Hudbhac.\”

It was in an ancient language but the words translated into his head and he understood the meaning. \”One created two, then three then more, but we are all children of One, all united One together.\”

As he mentally learnt these words, he felt the essence around him stir. The essence of the air, the cold, the heat, the wind, the snow, the stars, the clouds, sound, and life. All the essences that made everything began to stir, looking towards Mao Lu curiously.

However it wasn't just the essences that were stirred as he learnt the incantation. The Irregularity was too.

As Mao Lu chanted, four of the slime spikes shot from the ground towards him. Immediately Gates whisked him into the air, but the spike things closely followed.

Mao Lu freaked as he was chased through the air.

\”No I must not panic, I am in control. I need to memorise this incantation and I need to complete it properly.\”

Gates dragged Mao Lu through the sky and up into the clouds. Gates was faster than the spikes but they were still close behind.

As they weaved through the clouds, Mao Lu bumped straight into Chàng Bo who was punching out, his fists filled with light as he exploded the spikes one after the other.

\”Mao Lu! What is going on!?\”

\”There's no time for questions. Just stay with me and destroy all these things that come towards us. I need to concentrate.\” He replied sternly as he crossed his legs in the air and shut his eyes. Trying to concentrate.
