16 Demon Lands 2 (1/2)
He soon felt lightening crackling in the sky outside the cave and turned solemn. A spirit picking accompanied by heavenly tribulation. This boy had exceeded reason.
Tie Nse looked at the struggling Ed with a serious expression.
”Boy, this heavenly tribulation if any thing, should have happened if you succeed in breaking through. It seems the heavens are not taking any chances.” he said to the contemplating Ed, whose situation was getting worse. His skin had stated to die and peel off, landing in the pool of his blood. This was a pitiful scene. Tie Nse sighed and moved the rock and opened the cave with a wave of his hand.
”I will hold back the thunder. But when you wake, you must be the one to face it. Better hurry up and break through boy.” He said, glancing back at the pitiful form of Ed, then closing back the cave.
Tie Nse looked up at the thunder clouds and his eyes shrunk. It was spread several kilometres across the sky. This kind of thunder would not be sent just for Ed right? Was there already thunder brewing before it arrived? Tie Nse analysed the strength of the thunder ahead in wonder. He soon confirmed that this was not some coincidence of weather meeting heavenly thunder. This was sent just for Ed.
His clothes fluttered as he took to the sky. He could see the clouds gearing fro it's first strike so he blocked the way. He floated just above the cave at the peak of the mountain and raised his hands to block the incoming strike. As he felt the thunder approach, his eyes turned serious. This was dangerous!
He had no intention of taking this lightening. Even though it could not hurt him, talk more of killing him, the heavens could go on for as long as possible and he was not sure how long it would take for Ed to break through. With the level of the bolt's power, if this went on for days, it would eventually tire him. With a change of mind, he created a shield around the mountain.
The bolt struck and did not reach it's goal. The hastily made shield had cracked. Seeing the cloud gear up for another strike, Tie Nse laid down aformation. His hands moved swiftly as he made hand signs.
”Lion Turtle shield!” he activated it just as the second bolt descended. The bolt could not crack the shield this time. Seeing as it could not reach it's goal, the clouds darkened the sky further. Bolts descended over and over, each strike more powerful than the last.
This caused Tie Nse to frown. What kind of Heavenly tribulation was this? It upped it's power? This did not seem like a naturally spiritual occurrence when someone went against the heavens. This looked like a heavenly being was sitting down on his throne and sending bolts to kill his disciple.
Tie Nse was now angered. A little more power and it would crack his shield. Consciousness? Heavenly tribulation with a consciousness? He had never heard of this before. Yet again, he had never heard of a someone who could absorb all the variations of spirit energy, yet he was inside that cave below. He started to perspire. This boy broke the rules. That means that he should not expect things to go according to the rules. If this was so, was he not out of his league? Wouldn't this thunder for a spirit picking kid be able to kill him?
