Chapter 471 - The ???? ??????? (Part-1) (1/2)

The vaunted fifteenth floor, the floor that had never been conquered lay in front of Ryuu just beyond the gate, his sisters' group had been forced to retreat back, a floor that he screamed that he would conquer and now he stood in front of the gate as he gazed the impossible task that lay in front of him.

'I am so close and yet so far, I hate it.'

A small buzzing bee returned back to Severing Saber who spoke with a smirk, ”It seems that gate in not one way so shall we move.”

Ryuu simply nodded as he stepped through the gate, and along with him were Frost Flames, Chianyu, Devaraj, Severing Saber and at least a dozen other cultivators.

As they stepped inside they were greeted by a desolate and gloomy place with the light waning as if it was already pre-dusk.

”What a depressing place.”

Chainyu nodded at Devaraj's words before he spoke, ”So shall we go and try to look around the place.”

Devaraj nodded as Severing Saber spoke with a frown, ”Ryuu there is no need to feel sad, there is still some time left and all you have to do is your very best who knows you might end up making history.”

Ryuu gave him a small smile as he spoke, ”So true elder brother so true all we have to do is our best.”

Severing Saber gained a small on his face as he spoke, ”That is the right attitude, and now everyone move forward, and let us see what secrets we can uncover.”

With that the group moved forward, but as they went deeper into the floor the air became fouler as well as the feeling of emptiness.

Seeing the scenery in front of them one of the cultivators could not help but murmur out aloud, ”What kind of desolate place is this? I doubt there is anything alive in this place.”

Severing Saber smirked as he spoke, ”Do not underestimate life, it is the most tenacious thing no matter how harsh the condition it might be life always finds a way.”

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, ”So true elder brother so true, life can never be blocked.”

A few more hours later Chianyu stopped with a frown on his face as he spoke, ”Everyone do you hear that?”

Ryuu frowned as he heard a distant chirping sound as he spoke, ”You are right brother I am hearing it, like chirping of thousands of birds.”

With that he turned to look back only for his eyes to widen as he looked at the horizon where a large cloud had formed, a cloud that was advancing at a rapid pace towards them, a cloud that was composed of bird like creatures that let out a cacophony of chirping sound.

As such Ryuu could not help but exclaim out loud, ”What are those creatures? Do any of you know about them?”

His words made everyone to look at rapidly advancing cloud of bird like creature with equal amount of shock and awe, Ryuu knew that the there were many strange creatures out there that can be found in Eden, but this was the first time Ryuu met a creature that he could not understand its speech and that shocked him.

'What kind of creature is this, for my Divine body to not even work?'

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt as the creatures became even more distinct, the sight of which made him grimace, 'What kind of bird is this? It looks like a six winged creature that had been created by stitching together various avian creature parts, parts that seemed to have decayed for quite some time.'

Chianyu bit his lips as he spoke, ”I do not know about you all, but I do not like the look of those creatures they are eyeing us like a starving man does to food.”

Devaraj gulped as he spoke, ”You are right, we are its prey.”, with that his eyes fell on Ryuu as he spoke, ”Brother Ryuu.”

Ryuu flashed them a smile as he spoke, ”Do not worry brothers I will deal with the creatures.”, with his piece being said Ryuu took out a dozen of talisman and then his smile froze.

Severing Saber looked at him as he spoke urgently, ”What are you doing brother Ryuu they are coming to us at a very fast pace, activate your array.”

A pale faced Ryuu looked at them as he stammered out with disbelief, ”I-I ca-cannot..”

Frost Flames frowned as she spoke, ”Ryuu what happened? What can you not do?”

With a fearful look on his face Ryuu continued, ”I cannot recall any of my techniques my mind has gone blank.”

A sharp intake of breath was heard as another of the cultivator screamed out in fear, ”It is the same for me I cannot seem to recall any of my techniques.”
