Chapter 154 - Spooky, spooy, skeleton. (2/2)

Suddenly a 100 skeletons appeared. I decided the skeleton menace is more urgent right now and focused on fighting them.

Thankfully during all this time, my clone was able to read a technique in the Buddhist temple that will give me an extreme advantage against such beings. [Ripple] or [Hammon]are way different than magic that you need mana, and the only form of having mana is being born with said energy. [Ripple] is way simpler, it's just a regular form of breathing that permits you to generate Holy Sun energy, so anyone that breaths can use it. Ripple has very good properties for a human, like faster recuperation, top psyche for a longer time on your life, and much much more. And for someone like me that can even do [Photosynthesys], [Ripple] was a godsend, or Buddhasend if you get what I mean. {AN: IF SHE BREATHS SHE IS A RIPPLE USER}

I take a deep breath in the correct patterns and suddenly my body starts being filled with warm and holy energy, you could even see some yellow lightning around my body, showing it is being filled with ripple energy. The first row of the 100 skeletons is already almost touching me, I simply open my eyes, that right now instead of the previous feline green emerald eyes, it's now filled with a yellowish health glow. And then I struck, the skeleton probably the result of something necromantic and evil is immediately vaporized, not only because of my strength but also because of [Ripple] Holy sun energy.

The fight was easy, but my inexperience with [Ripple] made me fail in some attacks with it, thankfully my strength is enough to decimate these skeletons, and soon every one of the Skeletons was bone dust in the grass.

Using [Ripple] in combat is difficult, extremely so. I can say it is extremely impressive that a normal human can effectively use this technique in combat, it's not simply impressive, it's Bizarre.

Soon 1000 skeletons appeared here. But there was something different in the horde, there was a completely black skeleton, his bone looks like some kind of charcoal, and he has some horns on his head.

I didn't care much, the mobs are too far away from hurting me. So I entered the skeleton army, taken care to breathe rhythmically and not lose the [Ripple] I went fighting. It is difficult to maintain my breath in a certain rhythm while fighting, even if I am not exerting myself my breath normally changes patterns depending on my movement.

I danced between the army of skeletons, killing everything with one hit, slap of sometimes just shockwaves from my movement. Soon the Blck skeleton advanced towards me and attacked with his punches. I simply hit him with a [Ripple] filled slap and he became ashes. Some more punches and kicks and now most of the skeletons were gone. And what I was able to identify from the black skeleton is that he has double the strength of a normal one.

Soon 10000 Skeleton appeared, but this time they are armed, and like the previous time, there was 1 black skeleton for 1000 of the normal one. This time I decided differently, instead of fighting one on one with each skeleton which I was only doing to get used to the [Ripple], now I can start my massacre seeing as I am more accustomed to using [Ripple], I am just a novice of course, but I have been making progress nonetheless.

I took a deep breath, ripple filled my body. I reinforced everything with my chakra. I used Swift Release to increase my speed. I covered myself with [Armament Haki]. and then u run as fast as I could, killing and destroying skeletons like a juggernaut, I was like an unstoppable locomotive that cut through the rankings of skeletons like a hot knife through butter.

The number of skeletons starts reducing at an alarming rate, for them of course. Destroying the last two skeletons I finished this horde. I am still in top shape pristine condition as all those skeletons are mere a.d.u.l.t human in strenght.

The next wave appeared 100.000. I started rampaging like a juggernaut again, but I am sure in the eyes of the skeletons I would just disappear, and appear on the other side of the battlefield leaving only a trail of ashes. After some time the wave of 100.000. Was finished.

Next came 1 million skeletons. I just sighed and went to work destroying these menaces that want to touch my rock gate. After cam 10 million, then 100 million.

Then came one billion, I started destroying the skeletons again. But what I didn't notice at that time due to my constant slaying of evil beings using a Holy and Sun technique like [Ripple], my soul slowly became more bright and holy, I was literally being rewarded back for cleaning such evil beings, sadly I would only notice the constantly growing holy and brightness of my soul years latter.

I continued my rampage in the middle of the skeleton army, sadly their weapons and armor they are equipped with are made of bones. But id decided to forsake the juggernaut method for a bit and start using all the techniques I could in this situation, no time like the present to practice some things, even if I can't expel energy Taijutsu techniques are still valid. It slowed down a bit of my speed in the destruction of skeletons, but it doesn't matter much, if these things follow a pattern I should be here for a long time more.

10 billion, 100 billion, 1trillion, 10 trillion, 100 trillion, 1 quadrillion, 10 quadrillions, 100 quadrillions, 1 quintile, 10 quintilles, 100 quintilles, 1 s.e.xtile, 10 s.e.xtile, 100 s.e.xtile... until 100 decillion.

When I looked at the number of skeletons I was already kind of apathetic about it. But 100 decillion is f.u.c.k.i.n.g too much, the number is giant 100.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000, of frigging skeletons, besides all the previous ones. There are so much bone dust and ashes in the ground that I can't f.u.c.k.i.n.g see any patch of grass anymore, it like I am in some special type of hell.

I literally lost count of how much time I spent fighting here, I only fought, fought, and fought. I am honestly sick of seeing skeletons. But I can't let them reach the rock gate.

I took a deep breath, my proficiency in [Ripple] has skyrocketed, I am using it simply too much, but I can certainly say that I like it. Breathing on the correct rhythm became almost second nature to me, I hardly have to think to do it anymore, I guess I kinda became an integral part of myself the rhythmic breath of the [Ripple].

I would normally freak out without knowing how much time I spent here, but the last black skeleton always shows how many days I am here. I have been here for at least a month, but when I hit the last skeleton, a black one I might add. I finally let a sigh of relief. I guess it's finis...

*Rattle*

My face paled a little, that sound of bone against bone again. No. F.u.c.k.i.n.g Hell no. I look and there was a skeleton and he was alone. I hit the thing basically on pure instinct, with how much time I spent destroying then it became second nature, just like [Ripple]. But this time the skeleton was different, he had peak human strength.
