164 Chapter 164: Celestial Arrow (1/2)
Blood splattered from Rian's wounds. One arrow hit the lower part of his back narrowly piercing through his spine, another pierced through from the lower right side of his neck, sliding through his collarbone and exiting on the part above his lowest left rib while the last destroyed his left shoulder blade and clavicle before piercing to the ground.
”Blugh..” Rian threw up blood from the serious damage he just sustained. His entire body was swaying which meant that he could barely stand. The only thing that was keeping him up was his willpower.
'No! I cannot die here! Dylan needs just a little bit more time! Don't fall! I can do this! Just one more move!' Rian repeatedly said to keep himself awake. He was constantly fighting the clouding of his mind and the drowsiness he felt.
The Arachnid Guards, who just got out of the blast zone of the Roar of Decimation, were nearly depleted of their energies from all that running. To be able to run fast enough to cover 5 meters in a fraction of a second, they had to pay a great price of burning their blood essence. They all struggled to stand up because of the weaknes they felt from overdrafting their strength.
”This is the price you will pay for disrupting our peace! Your plan has failed! Get ready to die! Your blood will be used to avenge the souls of my fallen brethren!” The leader of the Arachnid Guard was the first to stand up and shouted. This was mainly due to the fact that he was the one with the highest cultivation strength out of all of them.
He was expecting Rian to be begging for his life or screaming for help from his human friend but what he heard was absolutely contrary from his expectations! The demon dog that seemed to be in the brink of his life was laughing maniacally!
”Hahaha, you got it all wrong, douchebag! You guys are the who should get ready! You are right where I want you!” Rian crazily roared even if there was a spear which punctured his neck that caused him to vomit blood again.
”Hell Gaze!!” Rian once again reenacted his stance. He spread his legs in a moment and lowered his head in the next. His bloodline shadow quickly materialized above him and imitated his actions. Rian was now overdrafting his strength just by relying on sheer willpower!
Subsequently, Rian and the giant three-headed shadow quickly raised their heads and displayed eyes filled with brutality and carnage which sent visible dark wind blades made of Mental Strength!
”What?! He can still use his Bloodline Strength!” The leader gasped but his face also darkened as he discovered how dangerous their situation had become.
”How can he still use his strength when it already died down a moment ago?!” All of the Arachnid Guards were shocked! Rian actually still had suffecient strength to use another one of his bloodline skills!
Because of the decision of the Arachnid Guard leader to run backwards, they were now coincidentally on the area in between the craters formed by the immense force of the two Roar of Decimations that Rian used.
What was even more surprising was that they were all standing in staright line! It seemed as if they were somehow lead to this position... When they realized these facts, they knew that it was already too late! They were now frozen on the spot because of the dark Mental Strength that invade their bodies! The petrification effect of the Hell Gaze was fully operational as of this moment!
Was all of these jus a coincidence? Absolutely not. These were all planned by none other than Rian. Though Rian did not have the knowledge and the calm disposition that Dylan had, his battle instincts and talent would surely surpass Dylan!
Those instinct and talent that he had was embedded to his genes that came from the accumulation of the experiences of his ancestors! Even without personal battle experience, his capability to fight by just relying on his intuition would leave all within the same generation to dust!
First, he purposefully held back on his first Roar of Decimation to decrease its speed of destruction enough for the three arachnids who attacked him to escape. He even angled it on his northwest to force the Black Arachnids to flee eastwards and position themselves on his right side.
Anticipating their attack, Rian immediately turned to his right side and attack with the second Roar of Decimation that he still had in store. He similarly tilted his head enough to force the Black Arachnids to go to their present position. Although his estimations were rather rough, but they were enough to pressure them.
Why did Rian lead them to this particular direction? If one was observant enough, this was the position and direction that Rian and Dylan intercepted them earlier! This was also because it was perfectly aligned in a straight line from where Dylan retreated to!
If things went his way, he could have killed nearly half of the seven on his second roar but it did not go that way since the Black Arachnids had their ample share of battles which allowed them to react as quick as they did. But this outcome, although not the best, was still ideal. Because everything that Rian did, it was to set this moment for Dylan to strike!
”Dylan! Do it now!” Rian roared while blood flowed down from his blood red eyes. Restraining the guards that were nearly at the Mortal Moulting Realm for even just a second was exceedingly strenuous.
”Thank you for buying me enough time, Rian!” Dylan's voice suddenly resounded as a sublime light shone from the direction of his voice.
A young handsome man holding out his left arm forward that appeared to be gripping something while his right hand was position right chest. This position was exactly how archers hold their bows.
”Stars of Orion, align!” The blinding light turned into numerous shiny glitters. They started to be sucked towards Dylan while they circled around him which formed a shadow of a galaxy!
