Chapter 31 - Orochi (2/2)
Patting her head, Wang Lei said, ”Precisely, you are a genius Yue to be able to use it at your first try”
Smiling happily Yue said, ”That's right. Good that you know”
Chatting, they continued their journey. After a week, they reached the last floor. Standing in front of the gate, they were looking at it.
”Is this the last floor?” Yue asked. She has never met someone who has cleared a labyrinth so she wasn't sure.
”Yeah, it is. I can feel a powerful presence from inside. Though I can beat it with ease” Wang Lei said, smiling smugly. 'A peak Sky Profound, huh'

He has reached Emperor Realm two weeks ago while his energy was almost reaching the mortal limit and that was after he didn't cultivate but his body automatically absorbing Primordial Energy from the surrounding and with the experience shared between him and Qingyue. He was just astonished as to how a different cultivation environment could affect his speed in cultivation this much. The same was with Qingyue but she absorbed the monster energies too. She was 7th of Sky Profound but her energy was already reaching the peak of Emperor Realm. They were in this Labyrinth for a month now.
'Should I buy it now?' Looking at the door, he said, ”We will go in now. Yue and Yue'er will be fighting the monster inside while I will watch from the sideline, ok?”
'Yue (A.I), buy the skill <Shadow Monarch>' Wang Lei internally said.
”Yes, master!”
[Ding! Skill <Shadow Monarch> has been brought]
[Ding! Skill <Shadow Monarch> with the help of <Word Magic> has evolved into <Absolute Shadow Monarch>!]
<Absolute Shadow Monarch: Lets the user to revive the shadows of the dead. Shadows are dependent on the user's energy>
Looking at the screen, Wang Lei smiled. He has once tried using the <Word Magic> to revive the dead monster's shadow but instead ended up reviving the monster itself. He found out that he can't revive something already dead. Like the shadows, they were never 'alive' to begin with.
SFX: the sound of heavy doors opening
He looked up and saw Qingyue and Yue, opening the door and making their way inside. He also followed them and went inside. A great hall showed itself in front of him with high pillars supporting the whole structure. They walked inside as a large magic circle bloomed below them, summoning a hydra.
”It's big!” Yue said, at which Qingyue nodded agreeing with her.
”Let's go!” Qingyue said as she vanishes and appears on one of the 6 heads of the hydra. She makes a griping motion and a sword appears in her hand. It was a simple long sword, the only thing that made it unique was a rainbow color gem at its hilt. It was the sword that Wang Lei had given her. It augmented her elemental powers to an extreme level.
lemental Sword Art: Crimson Moon>
Making a long vertical arc motion, Qingyue says. A huge crimson slash comes out of the sword, decapitating one of the heads. Another head tries to bite her but before it could reach it, a Javelin of fire comes, piercing and destroying it.
Qingyue looks at the direction from where the Javelin came from and sees Yue standing there. Nodding towards her, she continues her fight by doing a horizontal slash beheading another head. Dodging lighting breath released from one of the head, she appears beside Yue who raises her hand <Azure Blaze> and a huge sphere of blue-white flames with the 20 meters in diameter is created taking additional two heads with only one remain. Normally, Yue could only create the sphere of 6 to 7 diameter with her mana reserve but with her energy changing to Primordial Energy, she could now summon 20 meters one with only half the previous usage of energy.
The remaining head sees as it is the only one left and roars in anger. Mana started to gather in its mouth as it releases it in the direction of them. A huge white beam of light travels towards them but before it reached them, it started to freeze and comes at halt just before Qingyue's palm that she has raised in <Aurora Breath> 's direction.
<Touch of Death>
Gently blowing towards it, shattering it into tiny pieces of ice. Yue looks at this with an incredulous look. ”What was that, Big sister?”
”It is part of the art that brother created,” Qingyue says.
Yue nodded. Since it was Wang Lei then anything was possible, is what she thought. Looking at the remaining head, she gathers her remaining energy <Thunder lord's Judgement> six spheres of lighting encircle the last head, forming to a ring of lighting then creating a larger sphere at the center of the ring, which electrifies the hydra while preventing it from escaping, and burns it to death. With the loss of her all energy, Yue wobbles and was about to fall when she felt something soft behind her. Looking behind she saw Qingyue and her ċhėst, 'Huge…'.
Wang Lei was silently looking at their whole fight. He was quite surprised by Yue's magic that had enough strength to match the peak of Sky Profound Realm, especially her <Azure Blaze> and <Thunder Lord's Judgment>. He walks in front of the corpse of the hydra <Arise>. The word that could send to shivers to any who heard it as it felt like a calling to their souls. A blue and dark shadow rises from the hydra forming an exact copy of it that kneels in front of him. ”We heard you call, King!” A deep ancient voice resounds in the hall that startles Qingyue and Yue who was resting. They both look towards Wang Lei with incredulity.
”Your name shall be Orochi!” Wang Lei, remembering the name of a certain mythical creature, said.
”Orochi understands,” Orochi says.
”I want you to guard here. If someone comes here, then kill him. If he/she is not able to destroy all of your heads don't let it pass. If they pass the test then you can come back to me, understand?” Wang Lei said.
”Understood!” Orochi says and hides in the shadows.
