Chapter 361 - Nine Netherworld Ba?mu(Part-2) (2/2)
By then many others had applied similar tactics using defensive arrays to protect themselves, Ryuu gritted his teeth as he spoke, ”Use any form of movement skill to move faster I am going to punch a hole through the group we are going to force ourselves through the portal at any cost.”
Daniella looked at the people who were dying as she spoke, ”Surely your array will hold.”
Her words earned a scathing glare from Ryuu, who simply spoke, ”Keep up.”, with that he began to increase his speed.
”Prancing Dragon”, he murmured lowly but enough for others to hear, Zywia followed his example as she activated her own skill, ”Gentle Stream.”
Everyone followed their suite but it was proving extremely difficult for Frozen Ocean, Daniella and Amnon to keep up with them, even Su-Min grimaced t the skills they used, 'Damn bastards Ryuu and Zywia both are from older and powerful families and they really spoil their children rotten.'
Froze Ocean bit her lips her whole body was screaming in agony as she pushed her movement skill to the absolute limit, she had means to escape some form of crucial yet self harming arts used for emergency but she did not wish to test her mettle against such a horrifying poison.
Ryuu's protection sphere mashed against the others and as soon as they were struck by it a very powerful force swatted them away rather violently from Ryuu and his entourage, he gritted his teeth at that, 'My action would cause my karma to be affected badly, but I am sorry my life is the most precious to me than anyone or anything else in this place.'
He idly noticed True-spear, a good few distance in front of him, leading charge with Frost Flames following after him with another group various protection arrays covered each of them but what made him winced was the way True-spear lead the charge, just like a cavalry tearing his way to the portal.
A huge purplish gas appeared in front of them Ryuu flinched but he did not stop nor did he could stray from his path, the sphere went through the crowd as screams of anger, fear and pleading for mercy rang throughout as countless died.
Zywia's heart shook with fear, as they moved through the gas as they cleared past it she let out her breath she did not even noticed she held out of fear, she suddenly felt relieved that she did not turn into ash, when all of sudden the heard a crack.
Almost anyone in their group whose name was not Ryuu looked up to see a crack on top if the sphere, which was starting to slowly widen and a small purplish gas holding onto it, for the first time they knew why Ryuu panicked, when they were saved from the abomination detonating in the battle of the 2nd level by Ryuu's array they had believed in his ability to protect them which had been doubled many times over after they had seen him create the sphere, even someone who was not well versed in array could tell that this sphere was heaven and earth apart than the one Ryuu used previously, yet now they fully understood why Ryuu was scared, after all the poison seemed to be eating away the array itself slowly breaking it.
Then the sphere protecting them groaned as it shook gradually threatening break apart any minute, their hearts hammered as they could here Ryuu muttering with fear evident in his voice, ”Please hold! Please Hold!”, over and over again, 300meters,200 meters as they neared the portal the shaking of the sphere began so violent that it was becoming difficult for it to maintain its shape.
As they neared Ryuu was gritted at the sight of multiple cultivators stuck at the portal completely, because of their protective arrays, blocking their way and they were so close, Ryuu closed his eyes for a moment as he spoke solemnly, ”I am sorry.”
His statement seemed like a cold steel guillotine that cleaved through their soul as Su-Min let out a strangled sob at the thought of their imminent death and she had so much to accomplish.
