Chapter 775: Heavins Improvement (2/2)
Water Element and Laws gathered around Fura. They turned black due to the fusion with the other four elements as she attacked the enemy. Mental Energy also spread forward, fusing with her assault.
The enemy wasn't any slower and used a Lightning-type attack. Just like Fura, it also used fused elements and Mental Energy together.
*Zap! Shuwa!*
Mental Energy and Fused Elements hit each other, creating a wave of destruction around them. Sadly, Fura didn't get the upper hand. Both of their attacks were evenly matched.
It was then that Fura's Divine Tide attack made a sudden turn, going behind the enemy and hitting its back. Surprisingly, it worked as the enemy's body was knocked down.
'Indeed, they have no intelligence. Any other cultivator or demon beast would have counter-attacked or dodged that. But this guy didn't even see it coming.'
Heavin, Liriu, and Fura's battle was still going relatively well, but the same couldn't be said for the rest. Even with the combat formation, their enemy was just several times stronger. All they could do was hold its attacks back. Besides, the enemy kept assaulting their minds with Mental Energy, which made them grunt in pain every time. Their souls simply wouldn't last long like that.
While all of that happened, Zugen observed it from far away through his Divine Sense.
'Sure enough, they are definitely related to Soren. That Puppet's Soul Manifestation Energy is especially refined. Even though those three bodies have a higher realm in Soul Cultivation, he can still deal with it. However, it won't be that easy.'
*Roar!*
Suddenly, Heavin's group and the others heard a Spiritual Wave Sound that they didn't want to hear at all. The ghost and crystal demon beasts finally caught up to them and were approaching at high speeds.
”Fuck! There's no choice. We need to retreat again.”
”How? These guys are much stronger and undoubtedly several times faster than us. If we turn our backs to them, we will surely be slaughtered.”
”If we stay, we will die regardless. We might as well spread in several directions and count on our luck!”
Heavin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the incoming mob.
”That won't work.”
He quickly scanned his surroundings as he looked at the passages. He soon found the smallest one and made his decision.
”Everyone! Retreat that way! Liriu, hold this guy for a second. I'll go all out.”
Liriu knew what Heavin was going to do and nodded.
”Alright!”
Liriu once more charged against the enemy with his Dracophoenix Body. After Heavin's successful attack, the enemy's power dropped considerably. Still, it seemed to be a lot warier of Heavin, which made it difficult to land another attack like the one that injured it.
As soon as Heavin arrived in front of the enemy, he opened his Dracophoenix Mouth.
”Tribulation Dragon Breath!”
Liriu connected to his Tribulation Fire Source and used one of the Dragon Race's signature attacks. The enemy didn't just stay there either. It charged against Liriu as it also used its own strongest attack. However, it still kept Heavin's presence in its Mental Energy Perception out of fear. It didn't want to be taken by surprise anymore. It might not be very intelligent, but it still feared death.
Nonetheless, it didn't matter anymore.
Heavin's Phoenix Puppet flashed in the enemy's direction with his Purple Tribulation Lightning Movement once again. The guy, who was facing Liriu's Dragon Breath, immediately gave up the exchange and retreated... or so it tried.
Heavin's Mental Energy spread like tides. The world around him changed as the Mental Energy took on a murky composition, enveloping everyone close. The enemy was obviously caught by it.
”Mental World Domain!”
Zugen, who was calmly watching from a distance, suddenly had a change of expression.
”What?! Impossible!”
As Zugen refused to believe what he was seeing, Heavin's Mental World Domain took effect against the enemy. Immediately, the Mental Energy inside the enemy went into chaos. That black figure couldn't control its own Mental Energy at all, which immediately decreased its combat power even further.
A Mental Energy Domain was created to deal with Mental Energy. Heavin never thought he would need to use it so soon since only his friends were supposed to know about it. Still, he predicted that the Soul Cultivation Technique wouldn't be hidden forever, so he came up with his own Domain-type.
If others wanted to counter-attack his Mental Energy Domain, they would have to use a Mental Energy Domain of their own. It was extremely effective against other Mental Energy users. Of course, that wasn't the only thing it was good at. As mentioned in the past, Mental Energy was a different type of Energy where Spiritual Energy had a hard time defending against. Naturally, it also affected the Spiritual Energy Flow of one's body.
Heavin's enemy didn't have a chance to protect himself before Heavin's Puppet arrived once again.
”Mental Phoenix Pierce!”
This time, Heavin hit the black guy's head. It broke through the paltry amount of defense the enemy could muster like a hot knife through butter. Its head was then hit by both Heavin's Mental Energy and God-Level Beak straight on. As one could imagine, it didn't last even a fraction of a second before Heavin's attack passed right through it.
