Chapter 588: Rampage (2/2)
Krune and Iem's reason for doing so much was pretty simple. When the battle finished, the two of them would say that they are too tired to help and would like to return to the Godly Tower to recover first. Seeing how the two of them had performed in the beast horde, the elders probably wouldn't deny their request. Although they are helping people, they are also helping themselves. Last but not least, combat experience was also vital for cultivation, so this beast horde more than fulfilled this requirement.
By the end of the day, Krune and Iem had helped five different battlefields in the southeast. As one can expect, their names began to spread around between the cultivators. They couldn't care less about it, though. As long as they can complete their objective, that would be fine.
This time, even though the day had already passed, the beast horde attack didn't stop. It was just like Huan said, the beasts could continue if they felt like it. As easy as it might be for Krune and Iem to dispatch Divine View Realm level demon beasts, these many hours of battle are also making them tiring. Elder Huan noticed that and sent them a Divine Sense Message.
”You two, retreat now and recover your powers. You already did more than enough for a day. Once you finish, I'll call you out again. We have prepared Godly Energy Gathering Formations behind the city wall, too, so just go there.”
Iem and Krune smiled, and they immediately went back. Even if Huan hadn't sent them a Divine Sense message, they would have retreated soon regardless. Once they arrived at the Godly Energy gathering formation, all the cultivators around looked at the two with respect. They opened a path and left the center the formation for the two of them to use.
Krune felt a little awkward with the treatment. However, he really needed to recover his Godly Energy, so he didn't refuse it. Iem didn't care, though. In his eyes, with everything he had done, it was evident that he should be allocated the best place to recover.
As they absorbed Godly Energy, Krune and Iem also exchanged Divine Sense messages.
”How is it?”
”Pretty much good. After analyzing the situation until now, I can tell that there is no chance of the city falling in this beast horde.”
Krune and Iem were afraid of one thing. Since Cinna City had not received cultivators from outside in the last thousands of years, they thought that perhaps their appearance would change something drastically. Maybe, this beast horde would be dangerous to the point where the city could even fall. However, the beast horde seemed to be far from being able to do so. Naturally, Iem and Krune felt relieved after confirming that.
”In that case, let's fight to our heart's content. It is a good opportunity to get used to our Godly Energy manipulation and the restrictions of the Godly Path Realm. I can feel that the more I fight, the better I get at controlling it. Still, I'm far from perfection.”
Krune nodded.
”That's to be expected. People and beasts who are born here use Godly Energy from the very start. But in our case, we used Spiritual Energy, Elemental Energy, and Chaos Energy during our entire lives. We relied on three types of energy to battle before. Now we have Godly Energy, which can substitute all the Mortal Realm's Energies. It would be impossible to get used to it in just two to three months.”
Krune and Iem then spent their next hours trading insights about cultivation. It was really good when you have someone with similar talents as yourself to talk.
Finally, the two of them got up and returned to the wall six hours later. In fact, they had recovered a lot earlier. However, it would be too suspicious if they showed themselves so fast. They already got enough attention as they are at the moment, there wasn't a reason to extrapolate.
Once they looked at the battlefield, they noticed that even bigger demon beasts joined the fray. Sure enough, those were demon beasts at the Semi-Divinity and Divinity Realm levels. Krune and Iem noticed that elder Huan's eyes were cold as he looked in a specific direction. After following his gaze, they noticed six underground demon beasts far behind the battle lines. Surprisingly, they weren't that big. The Rarin Worm in their middle was even smaller than the Divine View Realm level ones Krune and Iem fought. However, they could tell that they were anything but simple, and it wasn't just their different colors.
Seeing how serious Elder Huan was taking those beasts, it wasn't hard for Krune and Iem to guess that those were the Transformation Realm level ones. That is the highest level that both demon beasts and humans could achieve in this underground world. Krune's Divine Sense and Mental Energy couldn't go so far. Still, he could tell that the Godly Energy around their bodies moved restlessly. Krune was sure that he wouldn't be a match to those beasts at all. If anything, even running from them would be something hard to accomplish.
