A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 35: Battling beasts II

Not very long, all the beasts pulled into the fire column fell to the ground as burnt corpses that scattered apart on hitting the ground.

Their flesh had burnt away totally. Only their bones remained but it had turned black and innumerable cracks could be seen on them which explosively separated on impact with the ground.

The fire column dispersed and Alex nodded his head. He was beginning to do great things, so he felt.

He then continued on his way.

Many minutes later, he came across a small, grey hill by a side of the valley.

This hill looked odd.

Alex put himself on guard on noticing the hill seemed like the back of a beast.

On getting close to where this hill was located, the hill suddenly trembled.

Then legs shot out of it which raised the hill above the ground and a head appeared.

This head looked like a tiger's head.

This was a greyhill tiger beast. They had the power to manipulate earth to their desire. This was the beastly bloodline ability they were born with.

It eyes, still closed, snapped open, and Alex could see dark blue giant eyeballs in them.

He quickly got ready for action.

He spread his two palms open, then coldforce energy erupted from his entire body in great quantities before they were pulled to his hands and then quickly condensed and shaped into two large blades.

Anciently symbols appeared on on their surfaces and glowed, radiating power.

Then extreme chillness emanated from these blades and caused the air to turn intensely cold. Snowy flakes formed where he stood and began to fall.

"Lacerating Arctic Slash"

he shouted and slashed out at the greyhill tiger with both blades.

Two huge snow-white rays of energy shot out from the ice blades towards the greyhill tiger at high speed.

These rays of coldforce energy possessed great chillness.

They caused the air around them to rapidly turn cold to a great level. It was such that even the earth beneath became covered in ice.

Bang! Bang!

The rays smashed into the beast gashing it to an extent. Then ice rapidly formed all over the beast.

The beast howled in pain.

It was painful because of the long deep cut in it body and more because of the intense cold that got into its body. It had caused it blood to freeze.

The greyhill tiger roared and shook off the ice that had formed on it outer body.

Then it smashed it fore limbs on the ground.

Bang!

A seismic wave possessing great destructive power erupted from the beast fore limbs and spread in a ripple-like fashion towards Alex.

As it moved, it tore off the earth and flung those pieces of the earth in all directions. But majority of them were hurled towards Alex at great speed.

A sphere of air abruptly formed around Alex, then a column of air manifested below the sphere shooting it up, with him encased within to a great height in the air.

In that manner, he evaded the earth-shredding ripples and the fragments of earth heaved hardly at him.

In the air, he pumped more coldforce energy into the blades which caused it to increase greatly in size.

It became heavier and denser but he could carry them.

More abstruse symbols appeared on the blades and then formed a pattern. Then a layer of white light surfaced enveloping the blade.

Once this light appeared, the coldness emitting from the blade increased by many folds.

"Great Polar Blade strike"

he shouted and slashed out at the beast with both blades.

Massive, snow-white rays of coldforce energy (polarforce energy) shot off from the blades towards the beasts.

These rays once they appeared caused an area of hundred feet to suddenly turn intensely cold as the ambient temperature plummeted to extremely low degrees.

Bang! Bang!

The rays smashed into the beasts at the same time and knocked it backwards heavily.

Terrible wounds could be seen on it body. This caused pain to rack the entire body of the beasts.

It howled in misery as blood gushed out from it body and it insides froze.

"Let me put you out of your misery." Alex said.

Then he brought the two blades together and willed for them to fuse. When they fused, the cold temperature emitting from the singular ice blade increased to a greater degree.

It was so cold it brought frosts all over an area of two hundred feet around him.

"Die!" he shouted and threw the colossal ice blade out of his hand at the beast.

Puchi!

The blade shot towards the beast and pierced deep into the body of the beasts.

Roar!

It roared loudly in excruciating pain and then died. But it great miserable howl attracted the other beasts sheltering in caves.

Alex dropped back to the ground.

He knew he would be facing other beasts very soon and got ready. He wasn't scared. As long as he didn't move too far through the valley.

He planned to battle more before he went for the greyback silver-furred ape, which was the mission he requested for.

When Alex still cultivated back at the Houston house, he had gone through part of the vast information recorded in the weapons book.

There, he learned about energy-weapons.

These were weapons condensed and shaped out of the energy one cultivated and could be made to behave like a treasure-weapon.

They didn't use arrays in treasure-weapons to produce energies for an attack, but inscriptions.

These inscriptions are used to increase the power of the attacks. They behave like arrays in treasure-weapons.

Cultivated energies, when channeled into the energy-weapons from the wielder will be made more powerful by the inscriptions.

This is possible through infusion of a certain energy into them.

By studying how to create an energy-weapon, he learnt how to make certain inscriptions in the weapons he could condense out of the energies he cultivated.

The one he studied was 'augmentation/ amplification' inscription, which was to heighten the strength of his energy-attacks to great degrees.

These inscriptions appear as mysterious symbols on the surfaces of the energy-weapons and when concentrated, as patterns.

These behave like arrays in treasure-weapons.

The symbols or patterns would pull a certain type of energy from the realmverse called novaforce energy which would be infused into the energies.

This novaforce energy (also called chargeforce energy or attackforce energy) would increase the quality of the energies to a great level, thereby increasing the attack-power of an offensive, the destructive power of an energy-attack, the degree of damage they could inflict.

A powerful inscription could cause an attack to rival that of an attack released from powerful treasure-weapons.

He learnt how to cultivate this novaforce energy from the weapons book.

Although it was the basic stage of the augmentation inscription he learnt from the vast numbers of myriad inscription. With time, he would advance to the next stages and learn the other inscriptions.

Roar!

A beast roared when flying towards him from afar. It was a large winged python and a boiling red liquid which seemed like lava could be seen flowing in it veins.

It was very long and had large black wings that shone with metallic lustrousness. This was a beast called blackwing lava python.

Roar! Roar!

Two large beasts appeared.

One was a three-eyed crimson-skinned rhinoceros while the other was called a violet blizzardblade serpent.

The rhino was enormous in size and had three eyes lining it horn. The other, a serpent, was violet in colour and had white frosty mists come out from it nostrils. it could generate blizzards as it had control over the ice element. Also, bony blades could shoot out of natural orifices in it tough skin. Hence it name, violet blizzardblade serpent.

Alex upon sighting the three beasts had eyes that blazed strongly for battle.

Growlll!

Just as he was about to enter into battle with these beasts, a beasts suddenly growled from a cave high up in a mountain.

It was an ape, a greyback silver-furred ape. It beat its chest multiple times as it continued to roar.

Then it jumped down from that great height.

It was an ape beasts that possessed a nigh-impervious body.

Bang!

It landed and caused the earth to crack from it heavy impact. It was huge than the rest and it was greatly muscular in appearance. It didn't bend to walk on it four limbs. Instead, it stood straight and this made it more frightening than the beasts here as it looked more massive in size.

Alex slowly withdrew. This doesn't look like a battle anymore. This wasn't a battle he would love to fight in or he would be overpowered and possibly loose his life, even though he was special.

Before he could go very far, the ape roared and hit its chest many times before it looked at Alex ferociously.

The ape then leaped towards him and so did the others.

Seeing the incoming beasts, he hesitated in leaving. Then he made up his mind.

His eyes glowed intensely in cyan light and abruptly, unusually strong gales of wind rushed over with a roar like that of a primitive beast.

These powerful, roaring gales that could roll over a large rock halted the beasts in their jump towards him.
