Chapter 22 - Battle In The Ruins!

"Gather together, prepare to fight!"

Farek shouted from afar, while running in their direction, soon imitated by Jezdal.

Dracs instantly pulled all the ghost qi he could from the environment and activated Taidian cultivation technique and released as many Fire Chains as he could!

On his side, Feina made hand gestures with fast execution, then, her eyes turned ice blue and all her surroundings became like living glass, it was the Melting Ghost qi technique, using her subjugates ghosts in a mass of qi that behaved like a shield and a trap as the same time.

All the four of them used their respectives techniques and skills very efficiently but the tide of ghosts was really huge!

~SCREAM~

~ROAR~

"Fire Chains!"

Dracs shouted madly again and again, and soon the cultivation of Taidian was at its limit, there were dozens upon dozens of fire chains entrapping many different kinds of ghosts that were trying to run away from the chains.

But some crazy ghosts were also trying to neared him, showing their disgusting face filled with horrible teeth and trying to reach him with their sharp claws!

Fortunately, Farek had used a Ghost Formation to lessen the pressure upon them and countless ghosts, making them unable to pass through it, but the disciple was already profusely sweating and he gritted his teeth in suffering.

At this moment Dracs knew that it was a hard fight, but at the same time he racked his brain with his high calculation to find a way that can help them take the upper hand on the fight.

And after a moment, the computation was done and he knew exactly what to do!

"System, merge Purify with Fire Chains and Drain!"

[Alert : host current cultivation is to low, using a new high level skill can damage the host irremediably]

"Then, I'll do it myself without this body cultivation!"

[Alert : impossible to calculate the result]

"Just do it!"

[Merging Purify, Drain, Fire Chains…]

[DING : are you willing to use 30,000cp? Y/N]

"Go!"

[Current CP : 121,268 (-30,000)]

[Merging skills in progress… 48%....76%...99%]

[SUCCESS : new skill Purification Draining Chains]

[ALERT : skill is unstable, recommended not to use it]

Dracs didn't care about the dangers of his new skill and just activated it with his own power combined with the Body Prison of Thousands Ghosts. Then he shouted!

"Purification Draining Chains!!!!!"

~ROOOOOAAARRRRR~

Instantly, countless deep blue chains with shades of black shooted from the middle of Taidian forehead, taking over the Fire Chains! Under the translucent dome formation of ghost qi, an unthinkable scene was happening.

Jezdal who was using blades made of formless ghost to fight was rendered speechless, right in front of him, the malevolent things he was fighting were pulling away forcefully by horrible living chains emitting and eerie aura and when he looked at the surroundings, the same thing was happening everywhere under the formation.

Feina and Farek were also heavily surprised about the power displayed in front of their very eyes but they couldn't let their guard down so they did their best to help the Young Master in supporting him with their techniques.

The young lady was putting all her energy in order to shield both her and Taidian but she was also not in a good state.

As for Farek, he was on the verge to collapse because the moment when the Young Master launch his spell, the degenerated being outside his formation started to go all out, madly crashing against the dome of ghost qi again and again, so he could just ask for help before things turn really bad, so he gritted his teeth and put a lot of effort to shout toward Jezdal.

"Argh! Junior brother! Quick, help me supply the formation or it will collapse at any time now!"

Jezdal woke up from his previous shock and quickly sent pure ghost qi into the formation.

Dracs sensed that these disciples of the WHite Ghost Temple were working together in order to help him and he was moved. But time wasn't to show them his thanks because he was himself in a dire situation!

A buzzing and horrible sound started to pierce all their defense and right after, they could hear the evil voices full of malice spelling their twisted words!

"Kill her, ahahah"

"Eat me, eat them, let us enter your mind!"

"KILL, KILL, KILL!"

"Join us, kill the living!"

"This guy wants beauty! Kill him, I'll help you get the girl for yourself alone!

"Don't struggle, death is not the end! Join us!"

At this moment Farek who was the highest cultivator here and the Senior disciple, shouted again towards his companions!

"Don't listen to them! Shut all your senses! Argh!!"

"Senior brother, I need to kill him!" Jezdal screamed, his eyes were bloodshot!

"YES KILL HIM, KILL HIM FOR THE GIRL!"

Mad shouts and laughter echoed all over the place, turning the atmosphere to the worse.

Jezdal was losing his mind, the ghosts' mental attacks were too powerful!

"AHHHHH! I'LL KILL YOU! GHOST BLADE, SWORD OF SCREAMS, KILL HIM!"

At this moment Farek could only scream but he couldn't let go of the formation or all would have been for naught!

"NOOOOOO!"

Jezdal bent his knees and took a big impulse to launch himself directly toward Dracs with a ghostly screaming sword in his hand!

Dracs could only see Jezdal going through the ghosts and chains like a fury, cutting all in his way toward him at high speed!

But right at this moment and with a swift move, Feina moved in front of Drac, standing in the way in order to protect the Young Master from the impending attack!

Jezdal's bloodshot eyes seemed to explode at any moment and when he saw the girl he couldn't help but shout!

"YOU DARE TO PROTECT HIM! I JUST WANTED TO BE WITH YOU! RIGHT! I'LL KILL YOU THE BOTH OF YOU AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

The cacophony of the ghosts intensifies and they scream in joy!

"Yessss, kill her, kill him!

"KILL!"

Jezda was only a few meters away and the impact was going to be brutal!

But at that precise moment, Dracs reacted with lightning speed, and he sent a large number of chains made of Formless Ghosts and Strings of Corruption to intercept his opponent!

~~ Swiiichhhh ~

The chains and strings flew directly towards Jezdal passing right by Feina's side, then the collision with the screaming ghost sword made an unimaginable sound and a ghost explosion that followed immediately after!

~ BOOM! ~

"ARGHHHHHH !!!!"

"Wake up disciple Jezdal!" Yelled Dracs.

"NOOOO!"

[DING]

[ALERT: Corruption within the target is increasing at a critical rate!]

[Recommendation: kill the target]

"No I can't do that!"

Feina looked paralyzed, and after a short moment she fell to her knees and the shield she had been holding on with all her might for several minutes exploded in a ghost qi explosion and knocked her to the ground several feet away.

blood began to flow from his mouth and ears, it was obvious that the shock had been dreadfully violent.

Farek flinched too but he was still holding on the formation, he could only stare with a sad expression toward his fellow disciples, but at this moment he could only care about his situation and he did all he can to maintain the dome.

His eyes were focused on the Young Master, his skills and spells were unheard of, it was unbelievable! How could a Profound Realm cultivator control as many chains at the same time! It was just impossible! In Farek's comprehension, no one below the apex of the cultivation could express so much control!

Power was a thing, but control was even harder to attain!

There were at least hundreds of different chains and other strange skills that were being maintained by the Young Master for a while now!

He was a one man army!

This sight gave Farek the determination and renewed energy to do his part of the job.

'Come on Young Master, you can do it.' He said internally.

On his side, dracs was struggling, desperately trying to find a method to purify the state of Jezdal but the corruption inside him was like a living being! It was hard to determine what to do, he could purify him and drain him of his life force and qi but all his attempts were for naught!

It was his first time being unable to find a solution when facing an unexpected situation but no matter how hard he tried, the system gave him the same answer all the time.

Of course he didn't have the time to check the shop or the virtual library because all his power was used to control as many spells and skills as the same times, fighting hundreds of enemies!

He knew that if he didn't kill the new host of this corruption, Jezdal, something terrible would happen, his instincts were yelling at him to kill that monstrosity as fast as he could!

But Dracs was stubborn, he didn't want to comply with the system's solution and try something very new and spent a new amount of corrupted points and his reserve of ghost qi!

"Prison of Chains!"

Even more new chains flew out of the Taidian forehead and gathered maddly around Jezdal. And as more and more chains roped around him, it soon began like a moving cocoon made out of chains and pulsing with power!

Then, when Dracs was satisfied with it, he started the purification of the corruption inside it.

And so his corruption points started to rapidly increase!

But…

After only a couple seconds…

All the chains stopped moving…

And a defying cry that came from inside, shattered all the spells and the dome exploded in a ghost qi wave!

~KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEKKKKKK~
