2650 Merging
Rean controlled his Chaos Laws around his Black Star Sword, creating a coating for it while defending against the Wonder Beast"s attack. At the same time, Roan attacked the Wonder Beast, trying to get rid of it.
Yet, this Wonder Beast was different. It was the same type that Flinyu fought before. It didn"t really have a specific form, changing nonstop, and its attacks weren"t exactly attacks. All it tried to do was to get in contact with the twins" bodies. As long as it succeeded, they would be done for.
The Wonder Beast changed form once again, which caused Roan"s Scythe to hit nothing but air. It then went around, trying to enter ROan"s body from behind at lightning speed.
*Shiiiiiiii!*
However, a wave of Divine Origin Energy and Chaos Laws pa.s.sed right in between Roan and the Wonder Beast. It was Kentucky, who could only use long-range attacks since he could allow the Wonder Beast to touch his body. The Chaos Laws from Kentucky barred the Wonder Beast, which was forced to stop in its tracks for a moment.
*Zush, zush, zush, zush...*
Hundred of roots covered in Chaos Laws then pierced it from all sides. Celis had made his move, using his own Roots to attack the Wonder Beast. However, the moment they pierced that ethereal body, Celis Roots began to change form. Even the Chaos Laws coating couldn"t fight against the much higher concentration of Chaos Laws and Energy inside the Wonder Beast.
*crack, crack, crack, crack...*
Celis wasn"t surprised, though. He already expected that result, so the moment the roots pierced the ethereal body of the Wonder Beast, he cut them off, separating them from his body. His plan for doing that wasn"t to take the Wonder Beast down, after all. "Found it! Follow my Divine Sense and attack!"
Even more roots appeared, but this time, they only surrounded the Wonder Beast and created a cage. It would quickly transform into a jumbled mess due to its closeness to the Wonder Beast, but that was enough to give the twins and Kentucky the necessary time.
"Death Style, Stellar Piercer!"
"Death Style, Death Scythe!"
"Kawa Feather Blades!"
The three of them joined forces, all aiming at a single point inside that ethereal body.
*swish, swish, swish, swish swish...*
These ranged attacks all penetrated the Wonder Beast, who had nowhere to go due to Celis"s roots. Its body, which kept changing form nonstop, suddenly trembled. Celis roots didn"t last long and once again crumbled down as they couldn"t keep their forms. Nonetheless, the Wonder Beast didn"t charge out like it had been doing before.
It was then that its ethereal body began to disperse as the Chaos Laws and Energy inside escaped. The twins" group didn"t lose that change. They immediately gathered around the Wonder Beast and began to absorb everything. It was truly a lot. L?Test nov?ls on (n)?velbi?(.)co?
As they absorbed, Rean praised Celis. "Well done, it was thanks to you we found its core. I truly couldn"t feel its location inside this thing at all."
Celis sighed. "There was no other choice. The Chaos Laws and Energy are evenly distributed inside this Wonder Beast. I could only pierce it with my roots and find its core location by touch. Otherwise, we would have to keep attacking it and hope to hit the right place."
Kentucky couldn"t help but ask. "But why did it feel us? We used Roan"s method ever since we started our journey deeper into this wonderland. Yet, before we could even notice this thing"s presence, it was already charging at us."
Everyone had the same question in their heads, so they turned to Roan.
"I"m not too sure," Roan answered. "As I said, I still only have fragmented memories. However, I also mentioned that going deeper would be a lot more dangerous, and it proved true."
"Still, this thing is truly fast and hard to deal with. I coated my Black Star Sword with my Chaos Laws, but I could only allow it to touch the Wonder Beast for a second at most. If I took more than that, the Wonder Beast"s Chaos Laws would also change its composition into something else."
[You should be happy with this result,] Sister Orb mentioned. [It is the fact that your weapons are of such high quality and have Solar Essence in their composition that they can even resist this long. I don"t think there are many in this wonderland with weapons with similar characteristics.]
"That"s good to know," Rean felt a little better after hearing it.
Their group continued to absorb the Wonder Beast"s Chaos Laws and Energy for another hour. This one, indeed, had several times more of it than the Wonder Beasts near the entrance. It was so much that the twins" group managed to merge another good part of their Dantians and Cores with the Chaos Laws.
"Around 6 to 7% of our Dantians and Cores are now merged with Chaos Laws. That should make things a little easier as we go further," Roan commented.
Yet, Celis seemed a little annoyed. "Yes, but we are using the Chaos Laws and Energy of them to do the merge instead of comprehending our Sublaws. Is that really okay?"
"We have the option to stay around this region instead of going deeper and then use the Wonder Beasts to comprehend the laws," Rean gave an idea.
However, Roan shook his head. "This Wonder Beast alone was already such a pain to defeat, so we must first merge the Chaos Laws with our Dantians and Cores until we have enough to stay intact even if we are hit by one of them. There will be no use in comprehending our first sublaws if we aren"t alive to do it."
Celis didn"t like it but had to admit Roan was right. "Very well. At least it is also a type of cultivation, so I can bear with it."
Everyone once again jumped on Kentucky"s back and took flight. They used the environment"s Chaos Laws, which was a lot more concentrated now, and merged it with their Dantians and Cores. At the same time, they looked for the Wonder Beasts around this area. Roan"s plan was to have their Dantians and Cores 10% merged with Chaos Laws before going deeper.
However, just as they were about to reach that mark, Roan felt something and looked in a different direction.
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
