162 Chapter 162: Ten Seconds (2/2)
...
'It looks like have already figured it out.' Rian somewhat understood what the contents of their conversation. Like them, he knew that he could not maintain this form of his for long.
'I don't know what would happen but I need to hold on for ten seconds! Whatever it takes!' The ten seconds he told Dylan was even a strectching his limits since his current physique could support eight seconds of the power of his Bloodline Burst without danger. After his first major evolution, Rian discovered that there were twenty blood seals on his body. He did not know where it came from but he was sure that it's purpose was to restrain the godly prowess of his bloodline.
'The first seal only possess five percent but the power I feel has to be at least three times than my normal power.' Upon this discovery, he also found out that he managed to break one of them which allowed him to use Bloodline Burst. After some calculation, he speculated that he could use Bloodline Burst for eight to ten seconds because it held five percent of his bloodline's power.
'I can do this! We won't die from this! We. Will. Live!' Rian resolutely thought. After dispelling all of his worries, he enetered battle mode and lunged forward to meet his foes!
...
At the Mortal Severing Realm, cultivators and beasts have already reached the stage where they could already influence nature. Their strength could cause mountains to crumble and speed that was swifter than the wind. At this level, a second is all it takes to exchange dozens of blows. This was what precisely what was happening as Rian and the Arachnid Guards fought!
When Rian and the nine Black Arachnids met, Rian swiped his right arm sideward at the Black Arachnid at the very front which the bloodline shadowcopied. That Black Arachnid planted his legs deep on the ground as dark colored spider web appeared at the form of a shield from his crossed arms.
It originally thought that even if it could not block the attack flawlessly, with its current strength, it could at least hold it down for a split second so that its fellow guards could get into position and pin him down with their tactics. But, when it recieved the attack, it suddenly realized how foolish it had been. The full brunt of the attack was so strong that it felt like a mountain was pounded againt it and was effortlessly sent flying by Rian.
But it's attempt to block Rian was not truly useless. Two of his companions could be said to have been in position at that time. So, when they saw the Black Arachnid who tried to block Rian's attack being blasted away, they reacted quickly in an attempt to retrieve momentum.
Large wads of black spider webs were shot out from their mouths and formed into a thick net to pin down Rian. Rian detected the presence of attack so he immediately turned their way and tried to swat aside the two large nets but he was shocked to discover that the nets were unnaturally sticky and flexible. He tried to struggle out but the spider webs were just too damn elastic. Hence, he was pinned down to the ground.
With their initial success, the leader of the Arachnid Guards led his group to attack. Black threads of origin energy started to form from the auras of the leader of the Arachnid Guards. He crossed his arms as the black origin energy threads gathered and spiralled all over their blade-like arms! Then, the spiralling origin energy condensed after one full revolution and formed drill-like blades on their hands which were even more sharper than before.
The other five followed his lead and did the same. With that moment's delay, they were now rightfully positioned in six directions while they formed a formation with the shape of a semi-circle. The drills on their hands suddenly started to spin which caused the surrounding energy to be absorbed into the swirling motion of their drills.
”Attack!” The leader of the group signalled as they impeccably dashed towards Rian at the same time with the spinning drills on their hands pointing at their target with intent to kill.
”You think you can trap me with this sticky webs?! Think again!” Rian willed his bloodline shadow with great might as it's size swelled and became larger once again! Although the spider webs could pin him down, it did not prevent his bloodline shadow to grow.
”Eat this!” Rian lifted his arms mid-air and bashed it onto the ground aiming at the two Black Arachnids at the opposite ends of the semi-circle formation!
*Boom!*
The two Black Arachnids knew that they could no longer retreat or advance with their positions. Therefore, they chose to jump and try to damage the bloodline shadow as much as they can!The drills on their hands tried to pierce through those large paws but they did not pierce through as though they have encountered a steel wall.
With the failure of their attack, they knew that they would most certainly die. Thus, without further ado, they chose to self detonate to cause as much damage as they could. Light shone from within them as their skin started to crack at a faster rate each milisecond that passes. This was the sign of their Beast Origins being iginited. The destruction that these two ignited Beast Origins could generate was no less destructive than a atomic bomb.
Sensing what they were about to do, the leader and the other three which were still somewhat farther from them, knew what they were going to do. Thus, they initiated a tactical retreat by using webstrings that they excreted from their buttocks and anchored itself to a far away tree. While they were being pulled back, they released the spinning drills on their hands as if they were missilies and was fired towards Rian like homing missiles.
