The beasts were flying at her head as if challenging the girl down there. The only difference they expected did not happen, she stood up again to face them head on.
Jen furiously charged and ascended, but the problem was her unsteady flight, she cannot balance herself in the air for long, she has to tap her feet whenever she lost balance, it was due to over exertion of strength.
She used her Light Acmes Pair and flames of third level fury, she don"t lack the levels in front of this over smart beasts, they played tricks half of day so that she could loss her much stamina on number of beasts then these appear after making sure that she can"t face them anymore, why they seemed mocking her? She was furious out of limits and sending flames with slashes.
"Are you here to challenge my limits?" Jen roared and flashed with the light, she was extremely enraged by these beasts, her flashed body appear at the head of a beast and she gave a strong punch, the beast groaned because it was. .h.i.t on the vital, and landed on the ground with a heavy thud.
Her words were displeasing for someone, "How arrogant? this arrogance suits only experts," the same voice interrupted.
The expert cannot let her show this arrogance in his land, who was she? Just a green Sage with lots of blindness of actions? A creature that was way beyond true learning?
The fact Jen hurt his egomaniac att.i.tude, with his words she was. .h.i.t with another whip slash.
Jen who was using her ultimate strength to save the farm was offended now, "What? Do you want me to save the farm or not?" she furiously looked around.
She was angry at his blindness, can"t he see her doing her job despite the bigger danger? Can"t he see how much exhausted she was at this moment? Can"t he hold his ego little? Was he trying to kill her?
"How arrogant, do you think you are the only one to save this region? Do you think you are limitless? Who are you to speak arrogant?" the expert was equally furious now.
Jen clutched her head.
This expert wanted to kill her only, she reckoned, the beasts were still there and she needed to keep her job going else this expert would whip no matter what and perhaps he wanted her to fail in this task so that he could increase her punishment duration.
Thinking this, she again charged at the beasts and used her punch to rumble their body structures.
She would not fail and get trapped by this expert, she killed number of beasts and still the number was increasing, the beasts attacked her from every side.
She was thrown on the ground but because she was strongly holding up her dominion, many beasts were trapped inside and they also lick the dust, the ground clattered.
Their fall caused turmoil on the ground.
"I won"t fail," Jen reminded herself, half of her armor was broken during raw battle with these number of beasts and their number seemed never ending, whenever she thought that their number was decreasing, fresh flock of beasts would appear out of nowhere rendering her helpless.
The beasts were still enthusiastic to steal the seeds but they were given tough time by this girl, now they were up to more planned attack because it was after noon and if they could not get these, they won"t be able to get them later, the time limit was left short and their attacks became aggressive and ferocious.
Jen was getting more fierce with their resistance, the only choice was to punch them on ground.
She was throwing her punch here and there, she forgot to cover her dominion once more after an aggressive attack by the beasts, her half broken armor was not enough to sustain the sudden number of attacks, beasts were waiting for this moment now that they could see her defenseless, they gave their all out in this attack.
Jen faced direct attack, these ruthless attacks threw her on the ground half dead, but before falling down she killed as many as she could.
The muddy farm was still safe, the barrier around this West region was filled with unsightly corpses of beasts, the light finally descended low toward the horizon, only few beasts were left but when they saw the farm, they got disappointed, their whole day battle went useless, they cannot pounce the seeds now.
Remaining few beasts left, they saw the girl who was still laying on the ground, they knew why she was laying, she was absorbing essence insanely in case they want to ruin the farm, they pitied the girl but more importantly they were sighing, this girl was ruthless and cruel to them.
Jen was not well to stand up but if she was forced to stop these few she would not back down even if it was her last breath.
She was at the end of her endurance but because of her anger, she was not ready to accept that she cannot fight more.
The body parts where the armor was unable to protect her, the beasts attacks made sharp wounds and these wounds were bleeding.
She was constantly looking around for more beasts but silence prevailed everywhere soon, she bent down her knees and looked toward the descending light and the dull horizon.
She finally had it, Jen looked at the farm in dull light and saw the seeds sprouts above from the ground, it was beautiful sight but she has less strength to stay up and admire this beauty.
She could not see, one day punishment text disappeared from her forehead, she fell on the ground as the last light disappear.
The man who was given job to protect east region came and saw her tattered condition, he left her there and went back, he was only ordered to bring her here.
The rules were strict and he cannot possibly earn the wrath of expert.
But he was amazed at her courage to sustain whole day despite the fact that this region was more dangerous, and her Cultivation level was low to protect it.
"So what if she completed her punishment, did you see how arrogantly she fought? She has no manners at all," the expert turned his face.
The Core was lead by the five experts, Yongjei was one of them, they have distributed different task with each other and they bore different personalities too.
"In my view, this cannot be called arrogance, perhaps she her fury is double edge and it caused her to break her calm when she use it," double edge fury can easily misinterpret with the arrogance one should remember.
Even if a person is not arrogant, while using double edge fury, the bursting power give pressure to the inner core, and the Cultivator roar with the burst of power.
"Okay, I understood, I removed the first punishment text, see?" he justified.
Yongjei appeared in the West region and collected sprouts and went to complete the task being expert.
He carelessly cast a glance at the girl and a shelter appeared around her, he immediately left.
The weather turned moderate again, her bleeding wounds stopped bleeding, her body felt the cold and s.h.i.+vered.
The snowflakes started falling everywhere same as yesterday, today she was not laying in the open but under a shelter, the shelter was standing on pillars, she could feel the cold but the snowflakes were not touching her body today.
The whole region veiled under the blanket of snowflakes, and the evening slowly moved toward mid night.
Her insane absorption of essence caused her to reach the peak level, now she only needed three months to reach Legend level.
She was not hungry, only half dead where hunger was less important.
Jen remain unconscious despite the increasing cold, she was deep in her study after using all of her strength.
Someone came in the middle of the night to prepare west region for tomorrow farming, the ground rumbled and the water made it muddy.
Later the figure went back, "Have some mercy on her," he was among five expert, he was kind heart.
"I provide her shelter, doesn"t it count as mercy?" Yongjei answered without budging an inch from his decision.
Other four experts were aware about his personality, and they were slightly scared for the girl, she might not survive till the end of punishment.
They can only hope that she could endure her life.
They were appointed on fix tasks so it would be improper if they disturbed Yongjei, though he was little cruel toward her but her crime was genuine, she committed crime to steel the precious seeds, being important part of the core they know very well about the severity of the crime.
If they stop few permanent tasks then the Celestial Sphere would face disaster and to nourish Penumbra Valley with these seeds was as important as essence energy for Cultivators.
