BXBX NOVEL Chapter 83 Skill From Martial Animal.
<Deep in the Spirity Bailiwick.>
A silver colored orc roared as it hammered its feet on the ground, creating a thunderous din. Berserk Force exploded from its body, shaking the surrounding space.
Its eyes fell upon the prince of Bloodfang as it suddenly shot forward with a sudden stamp of its foot. It appeared above Ezra and Theor in an instant, giant fists hammering downwards with power so wild that even cracks began to appear on the ground below.
Ezra Zephyr did not dare to be negligent in the face of the silver orc's incoming attack. The big guy's strength had reached the early tier 2, plus it had a strong physical body, traits that made it a pretty tough opponent.
Ezra's hand was swung, heavy as can be. The howling palm winds that accompanied it blasted away the air.
This attack of his was similarly ferocious to the extreme.
~BOOOM~
The two forces collided in the most violent manner. Black Lightning Bolts vs Berserk Force against each other, shockwaves immediately unfurled upon impact, causing cracks to extend along the ground while towering tree after tree was snapped at their waist. Countless falling leaves were instantly turned to dust.
~ROOAAR~
The Silver Orc's titanic body jerked, before being sent flying backwards, crashing into a cliff wall as it let out a painful yelp.
The werewolf prince's body was also forced a dozen steps back, but what made his face turn a little grave, however, was the strange power contained within the Force of the silver orc's attack that had stealthily exploded when they came into contact.
He had suffered when they clashed earlier, the stealthy explosion making the force and blood in his body churn.
"This sort of power should be from some kind of skill or spell.." There was amazement in Theor's eyes. He could understand by Ezra's words that the reason why a mysterious power was hidden within the silver orc's attack was that it knew a particular skill or spell.
"Interesting." The prince said as his body rocketed forward. The Efsa and Drepa in his hands turned into numerous afterimages that filled the sky and began to engulf the silver orc, he was using them as whips with the help of Gleipnit, the chain.
~CHIIR CHUUR~
The images descended, piercing the silver orc's defences, carving bloody scar after scar on its giant body. The poisonous Drepa slowed the orc's movements.
~ROOAARR~
The silver orc roared madly and suddenly slammed its heavy fists into the ground. A wave of berserk force immediately unfurled, shattering all of the hook and short sword images.
Ezra's body drifted backwards. He looked at the now crazed orc as he suddenly extended a finger and lightly pointed.
The silver orc's body abruptly froze. Soon after, it wailed. One could only watch as glowing purple liquid suddenly shot out of its body.
The interior of its body had been completely destroyed by the invading venom, instantly wiping out its life force.
One of the abilities of Drepa, 'Invade.'
The hook's tip shook as the poison returned like birds to the woods. A Martial Animal like this was blessed with raw physical strength, but it lacked intelligence. This was why it had been unable to sense the invasion of the spreading venom.
As the silver orc died, a thick stream of white rose from its body. The mist ball glowed and poured into Ezra, a smile emerged on Ezra's face as he felt the increasingly bountiful force in his body. The prince used Soul Absorption Spell.
Ezra mumbled to himself, "I am already at the peak of the 5th level of the Qi Brightening stage. Only a single step separates me from the 6th level"
"Hmm?"
While Ezra was delighted by the steady rise in his strength, he suddenly discovered that besides the stream of nature colour ball, another glowing ball had also risen from the silver orc's corpse.
The prince quickly walked forward while staring at the glowing ball, and Theor followed him, only to realise that it was a jade strip.
Astonishment filled his face as he carefully grabbed the jade tile. The moment he did so, a name instantly rushed into his head.
A body type skill, Explosive Force. An explosive force can be melded into one's force attacks, amplifying its power.
Theor was stupefied. He finally understood. The explosive force contained within the silver orc's force from earlier had originated from this skill, Explosive Force!
"How can a normal beast learn a Cultivation Skill? And the Cultivation Skill it knows can even become a jade strip after its death?!"
Theor was dumbfounded for a long time, eventually shaking his head with a bitter smile.
"The reason behind all of this was likely somehow related to the Spirity Bailiwick" Ezra received the answer from Fenrir.
Some say this place was created from a dead 5th tier Martial Animal and some also believe that Spirity Bailiwick was created from the blood of a Spiritual Transformation expert and that same blood contained the various Skills, he had mastered over his lifetime. The Martial Animals and beasts here had likely inherited these skills at birth.
After killing these Martial Animals or rare beasts, the skills and spells they knew would emerge in the form of a jade tile.
A rush of excitement bubbled in Ezra's heart. He may not know what level a 5th tier Martial Animal or a Spiritual Transformation expert was at, but it was clearly an unimaginable existence. "The skills in the arsenal of such an existence were absolutely not limited to mere body type and low tier, there were likely destruction type and even control type skills!
This means, there may be Martial Animals that possess a destructive level of skills in the Spirity Bailiwick" A burning radiance blossomed in Ezra's eyes.
However, the prince has estimated that given a grade 2 Martial Animal with a higher level of skill was already comparable to the Core Formation stage, a Martial Animal that knew a little more about skills would very likely reach grade 3, an existence comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage.
One would likely need a meticulous plan to kill such a Martial Animal.
Ezra Zephyr tossed and caught the jade tile as he said to himself, "Although this Explosive Force skill is helpful to me and it can amplify the power of my Chaos Force, but I should probably give it to someone who can earn more than me from this."
Although its level was not that high, a Cultivation Skill like this that could amplify the power of one's Qi and Force was definitely not cheap.
According to Theor Galearms' estimate, this skill has the worth and value of a million spiritual crystals or more but not less.
"Oh?" Ezra's gaze suddenly turned towards the side and a pentagon was drawn there, The gigantic bear came out of it, The Mad Titan Bear that had silenced a Foundation Establishment Expert during the war.
Ezra looked at the bear who was still enraged because of multiple deaths in previous battle, "Take this, Kavar" said Ezra as he tosses the jade tile towards the mad bear and the bear quietly gazed upon the tile.
Soon after, he went back inside the pentagon, with tile in his grip.
At the exact same time, Ezra and Theor heard someone rushing, a heavy thing running. Without thinking much, Ezra first took the compass and looked at it.
A sole figure jumped from the distance and flew towards the duo, but both were calm.
~BADAAM~
With a Labrys in hand, a female landed with heavy armour, she was none other than Shifa Pista.
She knelt and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me for being late."
"Stand up and take a breath," said Ezra.
Just a few minutes after her, 21 people came from the same direction.
They knelt when their sight caught the prince and said. "Your *haahh* Majesty.... *haahh*..." they panted like race dogs.
They all gathered around Shifa using the compass and came towards their prince.
Now, the confidence in them raised, 2 Martial Master with 6th-grade Martial Spirit and 22 with 5th-grade spirit.
<Somewhere Else>
The swords collided at astonishing speed, a long sword against another sword.
The clashes which had the power to cut air itself, it was the fight between Zulfi Dimitry and Salom Uqually.
"You lowlife Bloodfang bastard, you and your stupid prince are alike." Uttered Salom in despise.
Zulfi on the other side gazed at him with eyes full of bloodthirst. "Such a shame, a wannabe genius like you can not even kill a lowlife like me.
To be honest, I am wondering why our mighty prince spared you when you only have this much strength. Well... Maybe he wanted me to finish you."
Salom was burning in rage, qi bursted out from both of their bodies as they were about to clash once again, at that time, a 3rd party intervened.
A bee of hand size was yellow and it had a strange reflecting object on its head.
"You two, didn't you hear my announcement earlier that no fight is permitted for 1 hour?" A loud voice resounded.
Zulfi sheathed his sword behind his back and bowed in respect, "I seek forgiveness." He said and took out the compass, after checking his destination, he dashed away.
"Hey, wait!" cried Salom.
"You want to be disqualified?" The same voice resounded, as the bee rotated around Salom, the latter gritted his teeth before bowing.
"Kindly, forgive my impudence..." said the genius of Uqually's 2nd branch.
The voice didn't come, after waiting a while Salom moved as well as he murmured to himself. "Just wait, I will kill every goddamned Bloodfang martial master, just wait... all of you..."
