Chapter 45: Leaving
The woman watched in obvious amazement as the man fought the evil tiger with his saber. And the woman who caused a feeling of reverence in her heart supported him from behind. When the tiger got too close or dodged the saber blows, she used elements to restrict its movements. Earth to raise pillars and corner it, lightning to make it move in the direction she wanted, fire to protect the man from the dark fog, etc.
"Are you okay?" A voice startled her and she looked behind her, noticing a beautiful young woman looking at her curiously.
"Yes... thank you, thank you very much for helping me."
Bibi Dong shook her head as she closed her eyes slightly: "It's them you have to thank, not me."
Bibi Dong said, but then looked at the rabbit in the woman's arms. It was clearly approaching a hundred thousand years old, but if Percy was defending her, then he wouldn't do anything. Furthermore, that tiger was much more dangerous.
At that moment, a scarlet glow made her look ahead, noticing that a huge net formed by the God-Slaying Saber was unfolding. The net looked like a myriad of red, killer stars combined into an inescapable net.
But the tiger roared loudly. Its roar made the trees tremble as a pale grey sphere formed in front of its mouth. The sphere exploded into sheets of the same grey color that cut through everything in front of it, even Percy's spiritual ability.
"Evil attribute, wind and lightning..." Percy muttered in surprise as a drop of sweat ran down from his forehead. The sheets traveled at high speed as he dodged and approached the tiger once again. Percy didn't want to use his avatar, because he would be more exposed to blows when transforming into his saber. While the power was enormous along with the mastery of the seventh spiritual ability, this tiger was too vicious.
"Death God Domain - Second Release: Asura Assault" Percy's domain underwent a change as his eyes turned red and killing intent condensed into a single point as he rushed forward. This was the second form of his Death God Domain and was formed by condensing the domain in a straight line towards the target, increasing speed by one hundred percent and attack power by thirty percent.
Percy knew that his Eye of Annihilation wouldn't work on this beast, not when it was so vicious, evil, and dark. Even more so when it surpassed it in mental power.
Powerful flames rose up around the two of them as the mist from the Dark DevilGod Tiger's domain came too close. Percy swung his saber and the tiger raised its paws. The crisp sound reverberated around the vicinity as Percy gritted his teeth and lifted the tiger up on its two hind legs.
The tiger roared in rage and Percy grew alarmed when he felt the mental power. He activated his eye of annihilation and an oppressive aura shot out from where they were. It was like a battle of wills that made the air coagulate in the entire place.
"Raagh!" With a roar, Percy threw the tiger to the side before slicing its side. Blood splattered and the dark golden wings behind Percy emitted a small glow that absorbed the blood and recovered Percy a little. But he didn't stop, he immediately moved behind the tiger, ignoring the chains made of metal that appeared from the ground that forced the beast's legs to stay still.
Percy grabbed the tiger by its wings and pulled with all his strength.
"RAAAAARRRRGH!" The tiger roared at the same time as Percy as he moved, trying uselessly to remove the human from his back. The wings as black as night creaked as they twisted in a bad way and then bent to the side. Blood exploded as his skin tore and two roars silenced any other sound in the forest.
Kra~aa...
Kraak!
The sound of bones breaking could be heard beneath the roars and the pair of wings were completely torn apart. Blood and fur flew out to the sides, staining Percy's face as the enormous pain caused the tiger to roar louder and exert all the strength he could use, breaking the chains on his legs.
Percy fell back, but moved his fingers using his fifth spirit ability: Saber Above the Sky. Anaklusmos moved under Percy's command, floating and spinning in the air before stabbing into the dark tiger's neck.
Gu Yuena saw this and released a bolt of lightning at the tiger, causing burns to burn its flesh where its wings once were. Smoke and a burning smell rose from the tiger as it staggered from the horrible pain, but its red eyes still glared evilly at Percy behind it.
"Gu Yuena, hold him back for a few seconds!"
She didn't wait, raising pillars of earth, wood shot up from the ground and wrapped around the tiger's torso, metal turned into chains and entangled its legs, water turned into ice and froze its tail and part of its back. Gu Yuena was special with the elements, not only could she use them in their basic forms, but she could also mix them together to form others.
Percy raised two fingers and the God-Slaying Sabre twisted around the tiger's neck before being ejected and returned to Percy's hands.
"Sixth Spiritual Ability!" Percy exclaimed as he held his sabre in both hands. A murderous red light flashed and enveloped the blade of the sabre before a strong wind enveloped Percy like a vortex that drew everything towards him.
"ROOOAAAARR!" the tiger roared as it shook and tried to get out of its restraints, but it seemed completely useless.
"Sabre Light!"
BOOM!
A thunderous sound was heard as the light surrounding the blade of the God-Slaying Saber rose like a huge pillar into the sky. The evening clouds split apart before they moved around the red pillar of light. The sight of the light piercing through the skies was breathtaking and could be seen from afar.
As the pillar descended, the tiger's eyes turned angry as it sensed its death. The descent of the attack was fast, but the tiger could feel every hair on its fur being cut into several pieces, it could feel its flesh splitting, as well as its bones. In the end, it was swallowed whole as a huge ditch opened up behind it.
Bibi Dong and the woman with the rabbit had already moved away from the attack, but they still felt goosebumps and it was as if a sharp blade was grazing their skin.
When the skill faded away, only a huge ravine remained on the ground, the trees had disappeared, as had the tiger, leaving only a black spirit ring floating above the ravine. But, at that moment, a pearl-like sphere hovered above the spirit ring. The pearl couldn't be bigger than a baby's fist, but it was as dark as an abyss, not even possessing any luster.
And at that moment, as if it were a black hole, space shattered, leaving cracks behind the dark pearl.
Gu Yuena and Percy opened their eyes in glee.
Bibi Dong appeared at that moment and helped Percy a little.
"Thank you so much for saving me!" The woman with the rabbit bowed respectfully.
"Don't worry," Percy shook his hand, but his eyes fixed on the little rabbit in his arms and he laughed a little, understanding a few things.
"What's your name?"
"Ah Rou..." the woman replied.
"Well, Ah Rou, it seems that fate decided to bring us together, but now I have to go. In the future we will see each other, perhaps in about twenty years or more."
"Are you leaving?" Bibi Dong asked with eyes of reluctance. Percy just pointed at the pearl and smiled.
"We had an accident. That pearl will return us to our time. We will see each other in the future, don't worry."
"Are you... are you from the future?" Bibi Dong asked surprised to see the space being destroyed by the pearl. "I thought you were from somewhere else when I saw you appear at that moment, but it seems I was wrong."
"Bibi Dong, protect Ah Rou from now on, she will be useful, even if she is a spiritual beast, I don't think anyone will notice because of her cultivation," Ah Rou was a little alarmed to be discovered.
"When we meet again, I'll take you back to my hometown as a reward."
"You too..." Percy stroked the little rabbit, but then frowned slightly, "If you become a human, don't fall in love with a boy who has a blue silver grass as a martial spirit, you'll end up suffering."
Xiao Wu just blinked, even if she could speak, she was slightly struck dumb by Percy's smile. Especially since he was kind, but she was full of blood.
"Percy!" Gu Yuena exclaimed as the space completely shattered, forming a dark portal.
"I'm going!" He shouted and walked away nodding with a smile towards the two women. When he entered with Gu Yuena, the space immediately recomposed itself, as if it was something controlled, but it left Bibi Dong a little heartbroken. This month had been much more fun than her entire life, plus she met someone special.
"It's the first time I've met a human who can be so cold and kind at the same time."
Bibi Dong frowned and looked at Ah Rou.
"I'll help you, but don't even think about coveting Percy."
"I have a daughter," Ah Rou looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Hey!" Bibi Dong just snorted a little. "He has a son from what I know, wouldn't they be a good couple?"
"Oh..." Ah Rou just blinked. "And you still want to pursue him?"
"Three wives and four concubines... isn't that said about a lot of men?"
"What's a concubine?"
Bibi Dong just rolled her eyes. But she was also a little jealous towards the unknown woman to her who gave Percy a son.
