50 Demon Hunters (1/2)
After the dust cloud settled, the figures of Liann and Alisha were visible.
”Rainer, we have come to rescue you!” Shouted Alisha, she was looking for Rainer's figure in the room.
Liann stared at Hank, he was in the Peak Core Formation stage, he would not be a match for Liann in normal circumstances, after all she was in the third cultivation stage, Core Fragmentation stage!
The aim of cultivators in the previous cultivation stages was to increase their amount of spiritual energy, from the Core Fragmentation stage, one would walk the path to the true immortality!
After nourishing the soul, the purpose of the cultivator would be to destroy his own core and have his spiritual energy nourish his carnal body, driving the cultivators further and further away from simple mortals and endowing them with several hundred years of lifetime!
Of course, this extended longevity had its own risks, by destroying its own core, the cultivator risked imploding and at best, becoming crippled!
Cultivation is a thorny path!
Cultivators would only try to advance when they were confident enough to succeed, no one wanted to throw away their life for a minor mistake.
Liann was in this cultivation stage! Her body was a tank in movement, but after the fight in the woods, her cultivation base was damaged and it would take some time for her to recover, after all, this kind of lesions were the most dangerous!
Without being able to fight Hank directly, Liann decided to summon her devil!
Demons had their own summoning technique which they cultivated for thousands of years, while humans began investigating it during the Great War, five hundred years ago.
”Take care of him, Akto... ”Whispered Liann.
”Understood... ”A soft voice came from every corner of the room, but its owner could not be seen anywhere!
”...!”
Suddenly, a bird-shaped shadow flew from a room corner towards Hank!
Xiu!
”Ughhh...”
Hank was late in reacting, although he covered his body in spiritual energy, he could not block the sudden attack.
A small hole could be seen in his palm!
The bird-shaped shadow was so fast and sharp that it pierced Hank's protection and flesh!
Hank was surprised, he had never fought against something which was impossible to block... he finally experienced what his enemies felt when they fought against him...
”I will take your soul with me!”The bird of death charged against Hank again and it seemed that this time it would not leave a simple hole in his body!
”...!”
The shades in the room seemed to fuel the bird's power, during its flight, its body grew to fill a large part of the room!
Caw...Caw...
Rainer, who was close to Hank felt the death shadow around him and he was not even the target of the attack!
After looking at Hank, Rainer saw he was stunned, a puddle of sweat and other liquids had formed under his feet...
”I can't let Hank die this way... furthermore, it would be very pathetic for him to die with that appearance...”Rainer thought before rushing to Hank.
”Apply the spatial energy in your hands! Visualize it!” Rainer was testing a new version of his Void Step technique! If all worked out well, both of them would live, if it didn't work...
”...!”
When Rainer reached Hank's side, the death bird opened its beak, Rainer's soul seemed to be sucked by the bird!
Before losing his senses, Rainer grabbed Hank with both hands and used Void Step.
Woosh!
