Rain takes the sword of the sheath and steps forward, entering the cavern. Before he can observe the cavern, Rain closes his eyes and ears with both hands and flies back inside the tunnel crashing against the guard coming behind him. Following Rain are a dust cloud and the loud noise of an explosion.
The guard catches him because of his quick reaction. But the very next moment the guard releases him, and as he starts coughing because of the dust cloud entering a narrow tunnel, Rain stabilizes himself on his feet while he closes his eyes and stops breathing for a while as the dust cloud disappears.
After the dust cloud disappeared everyone behind him started shouting and asking Rain 'What happened?' Rain answered," I do not know, I only stepped with one foot inside the cavern then I flew back."
He hears his mother's voice from behind," Glenn, are you ok?"
Rain turns his head to look at the back, and is not able to spot his mother. Still, he spoke to assure, "I am ok." and walked toward the cavern. After walking for a few meters in the cavern while observing the surroundings, Rain stops what is happening ahead of him.
Captain," Princess led her guards to destroy the altar." Rain already found the princess with her guard in a square formation with the princess in the middle facing the onslaught of both cultist and their monster. But Rain's eyes are in the middle of the river where a one-by-one fight is taking place which leads him to fly back into the tunnel a moment ago.
On one side a green color knight is full of body armor with a phantom of a golem and on his enemy, a person with bandage all around his body like a mummy with a phantom of a Tree wrapped by fungus. From the phantoms behind them, Rain can tell the knight is with them and both are in the 4th realm.
Rain hears a woman, " This is the first time, I have seen a fight of the 4th realm." many agree with her.
A Man speaks," But their fight looks like any third realm, only the difference is their phantom behind them." Rain is also thinking what is the use of the phantom behind them.
A guard scoffed," They are inside a cavern, they cannot fight with their full strength or the cavern will collapse on them."
"And try walking near them, you will know what is the use of phantom."
A woman curriously," What will happen?" Rain also looks at the guard who spoke before.
The guard seeing everyone's eyes on him, puffs his chest and proudly speaks," When the fourth rank calls out the phantom, anyone below fourth rank should go near them, even if they do not target you, your energy circulation will stop, difficulty in moving the body."
He looks at every civilian's face and continues," And if they decided to target you, you all be lying on the ground face down unable to do anything, and wait for your end." Rain hearing this thought is like the field of B-rank genetic warriors from the radiation world.
Captain interjects before anyone asks further questions," Everyone is in the 2nd realm, when you reach the 3rd realm, someone will tell you about this."
"Now, our main priority is destroying the altar."
"And by the look of the altar, it is the main altar, destroying this altar will destroy the barrier and we and others above can leave the city."
A woman," It's on the other side of the river, to reach there we have to cross the river. Helping the princess from the siege may help us ultimately destroy the altar."
A guard," Let's go then."
The Captain," I have a plan." Seeing everyone's attention to him.
He continues," Those who have flying chimera form will carry us and drop near the altar, which will draw some attention from the cultists and the monsters besieging the princess."
A Guard interprets," Captain, you may have not noticed but I noticed there are 3rd-rank cultists and monsters. And if we land near the altar we will die in minutes."
The Captain nods," I know but I have this." takes out a black tree seed.
Seeing the tree seed the guards and some of the civilians's faces lit up, some step forward and stare at the seed as if it is a treasure. But Rain and most of the civilian with a confused face looks at the seed. Rain seeing the seed, feels it is an ordinary seed only larger than normal tree seeds.
The captain seeing many with confused faces explains," This seed of a 3rd rank war tree." Rain also stares at the seed, when he hears the seed is a 3rd rank war tree. War trees are constructed by the tree spirits similar to the dog-shaped construct of the evil god of fungus and Huge Insects of the evil god of Insects.
But War Tree in the same realm is more powerful than them. One War tree can fight against three opponents in its equal realm. Rain's troubled face turns calm, because before when he observes the princess's group besieged by the cultist. Multiple third ranks of the opponent made it impossible for Rain and his group to break the altar.
The captain spoke," We should cross the River by the wall of the cavern." Rain nods and agrees with the captain, as it is impossible to pass the River from the middle with Two fourth-rank fighting against each other.
Then Rain's mother and three others transform into their chimera form and three guards climb on each of them. Before his mother can take flight, Rain speaks," Mother be careful." His mother deer head nods at him and blowing a gust of dust with her eagle wing she and the other three take flight.
Other Civilians also transformed to their Chimera form and ran behind them. Rain nods at the first rank, who will stay here. He starts running behind the transformed civilian. As he rains, his eyes are on the two fourth-rank fighting.
As they are similar in realm to B rank Genetic warrior in the Radiation world. In the Radiation world, any True Body or C realm can create a phantom with their genetic energy. While in this world one can construct phantom only when they reach 4th rank.
Rain will know the two differences when his body in the Radiation world reaches the true body realm, Which Rain considers will take a month or two from now. His body radiation world will be promoted to peak D- rank in one week after he leaves the Dead Battlefield Weird Domain. Which is 11 Days from now.
And when in this world, he will be promoted to 4th rank. Rain thinks another thing: Is there a phantom creation in the Immortal Cultivation Path of Star Immortal World? He knows the Warrior Path does not have it, as the Warrior Path stops at the Grandmaster realm, which is the D-rank or True Body realm of Radiation world and the 2nd realm of Alchemist World.
Thinking about the three worlds, Rain starts thinking In which world will he create the next Clone. There is no powerful world near the Radiation World after the Star Immortal World and the Alchemist World. So, Rain decided to drop a world near the Radiation world which Rain observed their Soul bubbles were halfway to sink in the Black Weird Ocean.
His Clones in the Star Immortal World and the Alchemist World did not help the main body much; they only increased his practice time. But Rain can feel that having clones in different worlds will be a major help to his reaching higher realms. So, he creates clones in different worlds when he can.
Rain stopped thinking on this topic as he noticed a large tree appear, 'look like Banyan Tree' near the altar. And he watch as the Guards jump from his mother and others with her flying. Rain looks ahead and finds he can now observe the depth of the river as he would any minute later run across the River.
And finds the river depth is not much only to his knee, so he jumps in the river and starts running with a sword drawn and scans his enemies. The Civilians in their chimera form attack disrupt the cultists's siege on the princess and her guard. The war tree near the altar also led cultists to divide their forces to attack the war tree.
" I should target the cultists, not the monsters." Rain thought and spread his soul strength around him marking the cultists in his 50-meter radius and attacking all of them with the mind blast technique. Those who are fighting with the civilians and the Princess's guard are killed in a few moments and Rain also attacks and kills two near him.
Rain then notices a mantis of his height coming at him. Rain raises his sword to defend against the mantis fore limp, which looks like a bladed weapon. And when his sword and the fore limb collide the sound of two metal colliding.
Rain went to his usual strategy to defend first, to gauze the opponent, after figuring out the opponent end the opponent in a few quick strikes. Rain's left palm a shield emerges as the mantis attacks with two of his limbs. The mantis's attack power is slightly above his but the speed which is doubles that of him makes up for its shortcoming.
Rain's soul strength is always scanning the mantis and the movement of its muscles and his knowledge of sword skill. Gave Rain the foreknowledge to predict the mantis attack and now for him to create a chance to attack and kill the mantis. Rain with his superior skill created an opening to attack but he had to jump back from where he was standing as in that place a giant ant emerged.
Rain knows he will not be able to kill a Giant Ant and the Mantis together, maybe his life will be in danger. So, he moves back toward a civilian in his chimera form fighting against a bronze beetle. Rain nearing the civilian shouts," Can you take the Ant from me?"
The civilian with a Rhino head and the body of a gorilla nods and attacks the ant with a kick which pushes back the ant and attracts its attention. And the Ant charges at the civilian.
" I have to quickly kill the mantis and help him." As the Civilians are fighting against two. Rain did not wait for the mantis to attack and bash the mantis with his shield and create an opening for him to separate a fore limb of the mantis from its body. As the mantis screeched in pain try to get its bearing and attack Rain. The rain did not give it any chance and separated the mantis's head from its body.
Then, Rain attacks the ant, and knowing the way to kill the ant in a few minutes he kills the ant. After killing the ant Rain finds no enemy near him as the enemy gathers around the altar to protect the altar. For the enemy, their main priority is to protect the altar. With Rain's group joining the fight with the war tree and Rain's mind blast attack made the cultist into the back foot.
And impossible to destroy the Princess and her Guard. Rain then remains at a distance from the fight and only attacks the cultists with his mind blast technique. As the battlefield situation turns in their favor, Rain suddenly notices the Fourth rank cultist throw something toward the fight.
In mid-air, the things started shining with purple light, and when they landed on the ground, three huge purple tarantulas took their place. Following the fourth-rank cultist, their fourth-rank cultist also shot a green light from his hand, which turned into a portal, and from there emerged two huge snakes.
