313 Salphan Part-1 (1/2)

Ryuu gritted his teeth as he stopped a trident with his left hand from skewering him, his right hand holding his sword stopping a bastard sword from bisecting him, while arrays present on his legs prevented a mace and twin short sword from destroying his legs, but the combined might of the four Mystic Immortal Emperor had made him to fold up a bit as he tried to prevent his death by the quartet's hands, as he thought of an escape route his mind went back to the reason of which landed him in such precarious situation.

A few moments ago Ryuu had released his aura as he watched the beast disintegrate around him just from his presence, amidst all the howling, roaring and mewling he could make out one word as if all chanting around him 'Kill! Kill' in a trance all beasts of various shapes and sizes chanted as he listened Ryuu's blood started to boil as an urge to go in a mindless slaughter rose from his heart like an orgasmic bliss only to be quashed by monumental will power, 'Calm down, Calm down remember yourself.', he chanted within his heart before he once again cast a glance at the beast.

'This must be the work of a powerful beast tamer otherwise I doubt that the predator and its prey would work in tandem, and this animals are low level and might not seem to be dangerous to strong cultivators but even if a single ant might not harm an elephant but what about a colony of hundreds and thousands of ants they would make the might beast falter. So I have to take care of the beast master and beasts would be out of control as chaos would reign amongst them. Hmmm now how to do it…Eureka!!!!'

Ryuu closed his eyes as he delved deeper into conscious as suddenly his aura vanished before it returned roaring like a tsunami as he peered into his soul which looked like ball lit by golden flames he hearing roaring of dragon from it, then his senses expanded as dozens of such orbs in flame of various color shining around as he concentrated on them he found a small string binding them he followed the string and found all of them originating from a single point and he knew that was the beast master and he quickly withdrew himself it would not be wise to make him aware of himself.

Ryuu took out his bow aimed in that direction as he released the entire might of his divine body as a pitch black ethereal arrow made of flames appeared in his hands before he let it lose, ”Soul Shattering Barrage.”

The arrow moved deftly without causing any monumental changes except breaking into 7 similar arrows which once again increased in size greatly as one of them moved and entered into shadow of a nearby beast which immediately collapsed on the ground.

Shalphan sat on the ground with his hand clasped together like in prayer he let out a huge yawn as which almost split his face as his head dropped while he was lulled into sleep, when all of a sudden the barrier surrounding him shook jolting him awake as he saw large pillar sized arrows attacking his barrier trying to break through it, but before he could react a seventh attack came which came from his shadows but was stopped by the barrier but unfortunately for him the arrows resonated and a powerful blast of soul based attack hit him severing his connection with the beasts as he vomited blood.

Meanwhile the battlefield came to a halt momentarily before it descended into chaos as the blood frenzied beasts that were previously under control of Shalphan roared as they turned against each other out of fear and confusion, as Ryuu shook his head with a sigh, 'At least the beasts of different species turned on each other and that scumbag army for the time being I hope the pressure would lessen but now I have to deal with them.'

Ryuu did not have to wait very long as 4 unknown people in black cloak attacked him and as such he found himself trying to fend himself from becoming a dead body by the four cloaked person.

Ryuu snarled at them as one of them laughed as he spoke, ”Die already mongrel yo…”, whatever he was going to say stopped as Ryuu smirked at him, when all of a sudden his throat bulged disproportionately as one of them shouted out in panicked tone, ”Get away he is planning something.”

With that shout the four quickly disengaged except the cloaked person with a trident who was yanked forwards as Ryuu released a purple colored mist over him completely surrounding the person, who gave a horrifying shriek as the cloaked person morphed into a creature with lower half of a spider with 6 legs and upper half that looked like a Cyclops from mythology of his old world, it shrieked loudly for a couple of seconds before his entire browned color body turned purple which then looked like a mummy before he fell lifelessly on the ground with thud as any beast that went within ten meters of that corpse hared similar fate.

Ryuu turned his head towards others as he licked his lips removing any traces of purple color from them as he spoke with a coy smile, ”SO who wants to die next or do I have to send written invitation now, ohh are you waiting for me to croak from old age and boredom.”
