BXBX NOVEL Chapter 152: Eldritchfiends?
The impact was so powerful that itmomentarilyclearedthearea,the ground under the sea was visible for a few seconds.
Zhao Ying and Chi Miya also backed away from the shores as the waves became ferocious because of the water blasting around the area causing turbulence.
Zhao Tian gazed at the pieces of the creature floating around in the ocean which is slowly melting away like a goo.
*swish* He then retracted the silver spear and it appeared in his hand. Feeling the sheer weight of the spear, Zhao Tian muttered, his hand trembling "It's still heavy."
A Divine tier spear, it is so heavy that he couldn't swing it or use it efficiently. That's why during his fight with the creature, he hurled it toward the sky using his astral energy.
And as it reached a certain height, it began to fall down and the rest is in the hands of gravity. He knew that he needed a powerful strike to one-shot the creature before it regained its power.
So with the weight of the spear and the the gravity, a divine tier spear gained enough momentum to inflict a devastating one-kill move.
He turned his head and sensed Zhao Suyin, Zhao Ying, Chi Miya, and Fei Ziyu were safe in the resort. So he thought of going back and seeing Xia Shenyi first.
...
Shi Yixian who was sitting in the hall, looked at Xia Shenyi walking around the hall being so anxious and worried about something.
"What happened? What happened?" Xia Shenyi kept muttering, her heart palpating in nervousness, worried about Zhao Tian.
*swish* At this time, Zhao Tian appeared in the hall, and seeing him, Xia Shenyi quickly hurried toward him hugging him in her arms "Tian..." she muttered in relief.
Seeing that she was worried, Zhao Tian hugged her back gently patting her head. Shi Yixian also stood up from her seat "My Liege."
Zhao Tian gestured his hand telling her to sit down and Shi Yixian sat back on her seat. A little later, Xia Shenyi slowly withdrew her face from his neck, letting out a gentle sigh from her lips.
Zhao Tian was kinda surprised as this was the first time Xia Shenyi worried this much, even when he came back after fighting Shi Yixian, it was Zhao Ying who was mostly worried but not Xia Shenyi.
Xia Shenyi is a woman from High Stars and she knows how the cultivation world works so she was not worried when she saw him in the blood bath. But today she is actually scared of him fighting that creature.
Zhao Tian moved and sat on the couch placing Xia Shenyi on his lap. "Shenyi, what is that creature?"
Xia Shenyi leaned on his shoulder and muttered "They are called, Eldritchfiend."
Shi Yixian narrowed her eyes upon hearing the name and Xia Shenyi continued "They are a type of species that causes chaos in the High Stars. If those creatures entered a high star they are doomed."
"The one you fought is one of them from the low group of Eldritchfiends. They are atrocious and powerful beings. Even people in High Stars struggle to fight that thing... so how could you?"
Zhao Tian spoke "You never told me about these creatures."
"I didn't expect I would see one in the Middle star... so I thought you don't need to know about it now." Xia Shenyi replied.
Zhao Tian turned to Shi Yixian and saw her pondering something with frowned eyebrows "Yixian, what happened?"
Shi Yixian spoke "I remember killing many of these Eldritchfiends in the past with my sword and they are the toughest enemies I have fought in my life."
Zhao Tian asked, "Are they really that powerful?"
Shi Yixian spoke "Yea, My Liege. They are so powerful that 65% of Astral Realm belongs to Eldritchfiends and only 35% belongs to cultivators."
Wha- Zhao Tian was shocked to hear this, even the cultivators from Astral Realm couldn't fight these Eldritchfiends?
This left him quite confused "How can they be that powerful?"
Shi Yixian spoke clearing his doubts "My Liege, physically they are more powerful than cultivators and they have a unique elemental energy only for them- Darkness."
Hm? "A Darkness elemental that only they could harness?" Zhao Tian muttered under his lips.
"There are Evil cultivators who can use Evil and Dark energy, is it the same as them?" Zhao Tian asked.
Shi Yixian shook her head "No Liege, they are not the same... this one is completely different."
"The energy the evil and dark cultivators use is from negative emotions and malicious intent. It embodies corruption and twisted intentions."
"But this darkness element is different, they are a form of chaos and the elemental opposite of light. My Liege, If you want to fight against the Eldritchfirnds efficiently, it is better to use light elemental."
"The light energy burns them and inflicts more damage than other elemental attacks and cultivation technique attacks."
Zhao Tian gave a nod understanding a bit about these Eldritchfiends and at this time, Zhao Tian noticed that Xia Sheny's been silent for a while and was just hugging his neck while burying her face in his neck.
"Shenyi?" He called her softly but Xia Shenyi didn't move from her position and stayed silently. At this time, he felt droplets of water near his neck.
He turned to Shi Yixian "Yixian, you can leave." Shi Yixian ever respectful and obedient stood up "Yes, My Liege." with a bow she left the hall.
After she left, Zhao Tian gently grabbed Xia Shenyi's chin and raised her face up "What happened Shenyi?" he asked in concern looking at the tears streaming down her face.
Zhao Tian raised his hand gently wiping away the tears and Xia Shenyi spoke "I lost my Mom because of the Eldritchfiend attack and as I remembered her, I couldn't...I-I.. and you were also attacked by Eldritchfiend...*sob* *sob* I was sacred I would lose you too."
Only then Zhao Tian did realize that he never asked Xia Shenyi about her past. Xia Shenyi again buried her face on his neck and Zhao Tian softly patted her head "Now I am here, right? Don't worry."
"En."
*smooch* He gently pressed his lips against her forehead, leaving a tender and affectionate mark.
