Fell glanced at the long and thick black legs in the distance. Those six ma.s.sive legs supported the humongous creature"s body and seemed strong enough to resist any direct a.s.sault."I can"t believe that there don"t exist weakness in those legs!", he thought while approaching the t.i.tanic creature in the hope of finding something helpful. He trod carefully, and before long was back in a range where he could see the details in the creature"s legs.
"Joints!", he thought before his eyes darted everywhere around the creature"s hairy limb. And soon enough, he found what he was looking for. In the middle section of the thick hairy leg, a minute section, much thinner than the rest, was noticed by the young cultivator. Determination arose in his heart, and his figure blurred as he distanced himself from the creature.
He retraced his steps, and his figure disappeared and reappeared in the vast battlefield. His steps were clearly directed toward the line of defenses of New Casablanca, and after one or two minutes of ghostly movement, he was near the army of MechSuit.
Due to Fell"s effort, they were holding back quite easily. And even when the effect he had on the beasts disappeared, the advantage they had held didn"t disappear, and the dozens of meter they had pushed forward was still held without any predicament. He appeared in an abrupt manner, startling a few soldiers who saw him appear in a ghostly manner.
"Do you guys have a few explosives?", he asked in a direct mean without beating around the bushes.
The man directing the small group hesitated for a second before nodding, and the next moment a small metallic box was dropped next to Fell.
He opened it with a slight kick of his leg, and couldn"t help but whistle when looking at what was contained in it. "You"re not the shy type, ain"t ya!", he joked with a satisfied grin on his lips. He crouched slightly and grabbed the metallic cubic shaped box in the grasp of his hand; the next moment, the soldiers were surprised to notice that the box had simply disappeared.
They watched him disappear back in the ma.s.s of creature, with dumbfounded expressions on their faces, and their general had to roar to gather their focus back.
Fell between the sea of monsters and creature-his breath reduced to the utmost limit- his running pattern had a strange rhythm that gave him an unpredictable, near ghostly appearance. He ran at top speed, but no shock wave spread around his body, and only an afterimage accompanied with a soft windy breeze would be left after his pa.s.sage.
"I"ll avoid gathering their focus again. If they gang up on me as they did before, I might get into an even worst situation than the last one.", he shuddered while thinking about the dangerous situation where he couldn"t even breathe.
"And it seems that killing them will raise their fear of me. I"ll avoid doing that as my presence become visible on the battlefield. To kill that humongous creature, although I don"t need to be discreet, I lose nothing by being safe…"
Soon enough, the figure of the gigantic spider turned bigger and bigger in his field of view. And he reentered the one hundred meter radius of the spider; as soon as his feet touched the soil there, he felt as if he had entered a pool of invisible and ephemeral water.
"c.r.a.p! I forgot about that…", he stopped in his track in a split second with hesitation flashing in his eyes. "I guess it"s lost for discretion…", he mumbled with a sigh.
Then, just as he was going to abandon the discreet route, a change happened in his soul palace. And a thick ephemeral veil surrounded his body. The substance was similar to the ephemeral water like matter that surrounded the s.p.a.ce around the spider; a strange matter that didn"t cling or bother movement.
As soon as that matter was produced by Fell"s soul palace. He felt as if the link that existed between him and the spider monstrosity ceased to exist as if it was never there.
"What!?", he mumbled with a strange glimpse in his amber colored eyes. He approached his hand toward the strange matter and sensed the veil that surrounded his body. He tried touching it a few times, but it didn"t react, and he came to the conclusion that it couldn"t be physically touched.
"The soul way is truly the most mystical…", he thought before resuming his steps. He advanced slowly, one step at a time, while focusing on the gigantic creature in front of his eyes. He moved across the mountain of corpses that had nearly turned his body flat and continued approaching the creature with steady steps.
Before long, he was only a few feet away from the twenty-meter radius around the creature. The moment he had entered it, he sensed an ominous hostility arose from the gigantic creature. One that clearly showed him that he wasn"t welcome there.
"Let us see how it reacts now…". he thought while looking one last time at the veil that clung around his body and cloth, the strange material made from his soul power completely encompa.s.sed his figure and didn"t leave a single inch of his body uncovered.
He stepped twice in a split second, and stopped in his track, turning into a statue while looking at the last step that separated him from the internal radius of the creature. "Worst case scenario, I"ll fight it without avoiding her senses!", he thought with firm determination emboldening his being.
His leg moved, and his foot rose from the ground. The next moment, he was in the core radius of the creature"s ominous soul senses. He stepped dozens of times in a row, with his five senses focused on every movement in his surroundings, ready to dodge the deadly purple tendrils at any moment notice.
But time ticked quietly, and nothing major happened. He stood calmly under the ma.s.sive trunk of the creature, surrounded by the six ma.s.sive legs that had taken root in the red soil.
