Chereads / The Cultivation Tower System / Chapter 54 - The Horde

Chapter 54 - The Horde

As the flying creatures dive down towards the couple, they are met with countless yellow swords that cut down their wings. As these flying creatures fall towards the couple, they open their mouth, and even without their wings, they still follow their simple mission without questions.

But before the monsters can truly prove a problem, Zhihui claps her hands and uses the airwave created by that to make large wind blades to send towards the falling monsters. Cutting them in half and ending their life. As blood covers the couple and the ground beneath them.

But that is not the only group of monsters, as the blade monsters run around the wall and toward the couple. 20 or more of these monsters started to surround the couple, wanting to attack them from all angles.

Mors makes countless spears appear from the ground as they try to pierce the head of these monsters. Some of the monsters were unlucky enough to be pierced in the head, ending their life. But there were a lot more monsters than survive as they started to attack the couple with their blades.

"Fuck!"

Zhihui screams as she stoops both of her feet into the ground, as Zhihui pulls her hands upwards, almost like she is trying to pull something extremely heavy off the ground. Some of the blades hit their mark, and wounds appear on the bodies of Mors and Zhihui.

But before the monsters could do another attack. Their feet started to leave the ground. Their bodies slowly float off the ground, as sweat builds upon her forehead. It is extremely hard to apply gravity magic without direct touch with the opponent or having her blood on them.

Just doing this was draining her QI to the extreme, her own muscles shaking and breaking under the heavy pressure of pulling the countless blade monsters off the ground. But even in zero gravity, the monsters continue to try to attack the couple with their blades.

But this was enough for Mors, as he gathers all his martial weapons on his sword. As the yellow swords stack on top of the red sword. Sweat builds on his forehead as he swings his sword towards the Earth wall that Zhihui made a couple of seconds ago.

In a second the countless sword all spread around the couple, cutting the blade creatures in half, of course including their heads as that is their weak point. But the force of this attack was too much for Mors to control. As a large shock wave spread across the couple.

Picking up a large cloud of dirt and breaking up the earth wall that was once used for protection. But after the visual shock wave, a large booming sound soon follow as the couple's ears started to ring. The spike-shooting monsters also felt the ring, but without emotion and a mind to think, they started to shoot the spikes out of their mouth and toward the couple now that there is no wall between them.

As Mors sees does spike slowly fly towards him, he clicks his tongue. He tries to cut as many of the spikes as possible and tank as many for Zhihui as possible. As the spike dig into the body of Mors, his blood started to paint the ground. As pain assaulted his mind, Mor's fell to the ground as he tries to combat the pain.

"Hang in their Mors!"

Zhihui said as she claps her hand in a strange manner. A large boom was generated by the clap of her hand, and sparks of lighting were generated in the process. The spike monsters reloaded their mouths as they get ready to shoot their second attack. She makes a second clap, the sound of the clap getting loaded and the sparks of lighting getting stronger.

But before she can take her third clap, the monsters started to shoot their spikes at her. But of course, she has her trusted tank, Mors, to protect her. As he makes countless swords appear and strike down the spikes. Cutting them in half and stopping them from hitting Zhihui.

But even the great Mors reaction speed, miss a single lone spike. As the spike threatened to hit Zhihui's body, everything went into slow motion, as whatever Zhihui is making was about to be interrupted. As her hands get closer to making the final third clap.

But Mors, willing his bloody body to move once, stops the spike with his body. What it's another spike in his already spike body. As the spike digs into his right shoulder, making a new wound and drawing new blood. Zhihui could not help but thank Mors as she makes her final and third clap.

As she does, a deafening silence covers the entire forest, but a second later, lighting started to cover Zhihui's hand. The smell of fresh burned flesh enters their noses. She focuses her entire will on channeling and controlling the amount of pressure and heat in her hands.

As her fingers and hands started to burn, she channels more of her QI into her hands, as she draws more QI from her second dantian. Once she felt she gather enough lighting in her hands, she points her hands upwards, pulling her arms above her head.

The lighting that once covers her entire hand disappeared in less than a second. But the next, countless lightning strikes started to attack the spike monsters. Strike after strike of lightning hit the area these monsters were on, burning the monsters to their very core.

Reducing them to atoms and leaving only behind the dust that once made up their bodies. With the monster horde, finally done, Zhihui falls to her knees. Her hands now burn with smoke coming out of them.

"Finally done, let me heal you up Mors"

She said as she started to walk towards Mors, wanting to use her water element to heal him.

"Ha.. yea I really that heal. Got to save does point for when there are really need it"

"Saving as many resources as possible is a good quality to have but be sure to not regret not using them later."

"Ah.you are one of does people"

"Wha-"

But before they can continue their friendly banter, a similar sound enters their ears. The sound of another horde coming towards them. Sweat and anxiety once again appear on their face as they knew if the monster horde is even bigger than the one, they just dealt with, they can't deal with it.

So only one decision remains for them. To run away, Zhihui picks up Mors as she started to run with their life on the line.

"Fuck Fuck!"

It's the only thing that Zhihui could hear as she runs away with Mors on her back. His red blood tainting her dress.
