Murim Recurve

The Water Qi in the surroundings quickly eradicated the murky fluid as Re'Kha heaved a sigh in relief, panting as she gasped for breath. She then noticed Re'Dha shoot an arrow towards the first Golpa Ras from time to time as he ran around.

After Re'Kha killed her foe, his Balou was still barely alive. So, it sprinted towards the first Golpa Ras, ramming into it, tumbling together to the ground.

"Hold it in place!" Re'Gra shouted as Re'Dha threw his crossbow to the side and sprinted forward, unleashing his Hand Projection as he grabbed one of the Golpa Ras's legs. Similarly, Re'Kha too arrived beside him, using the remainder of her Water Qi to condense a Hand Projection, using it to grab hold of the other leg.

Then, the two of them grunted, using their Hand Projections to lift the Golpa Ras by its legs.

"Catch it!" Re'Kha threw her sword towards Re'Gra who jumped in the air and caught hold of it. His hands shone with a dense blue radiance as he condensed a Hand Projection in both his hands, pushing his hand upward as the Hand Projections held the sword and proceeded to move to a distance four times his height.

Then, Re'Gra slashed forth with all his might. Taking the same time, his Hand Projections made the same angle of action as his hands. But, as they were at a distance four times his height, and as his arms were almost half his height, the power of his attack was amplified by eight times.

The Golpa Ras was being hung upside down by the two Hand Projections unleashed by Re'Kha and Re'Dha respectively. Even though the Golpa Ras was trying to destroy the Hand Projections with its claws, the dense Water Qi in the surroundings that had almost reached saturation continued to replenish the two Hand Projection's damage.

This way, the Golpa Ras was unable to break free when the sword slashed down on the gap between its legs, cutting through it; the sword stopped halfway into its body. Re'Gra swiftly lifted the sword using his two Hand Projections and brought it slashing down once again, cleaving the Golpa Ras into two halves.

All the four Hand Projections vanished at the same time as their time—three breaths—was up. The sword fell on the severed halves of the Golpa Ras that was still alive.

Re'Gra summoned another Hand Projection and used his war hammer to repeatedly pummel it, causing the surrounding Water Qi to be influenced by his will as it gushed into the Golpa Ras's body, causing it to expand before it burst into a murky fluid. Soon, the Water Qi in the surroundings dropped by a level as a significant sum was expended to eradicate all the murky fluid.

Once the final enemy was slain, Re'Gra plopped on the ground, groaning, "I will never fight another one of them ever again."

Re'Kha slowly walked forward and grabbed her sword, noticing that it had been upgraded once again. It seemed that as long as she continued to kill the Ras using her sword, it would eventually develop to the extent of a Magic Artifact.

"It became even more powerful." Re'Kha showed it to Re'Gra who enthusiastically examined it, showing no trace of his earlier exhaustion.

He finished observing it, saying, "If you manage to kill around 20 more Ras, it would attain the status as a Magic Artifact, a Ras-slaying Magic Artifact. Or, an easier way would be to feed the Ras our Balou while fighting and kill it later. That way, we would be able to upgrade it into a Magic Artifact just by killing 5-6 Ras."

"That's too much risk," Re'Dha said, immediately sitting cross-legged as he took in deep breaths, replenishing his expended Water Qi reserves.

Re'Kha then looked at the carcasses of three Balou on the ground. Each of them had been summoned by one of them respectively. She looked at Re'Gra, "Can we do something about them?"

"Hmm," Re'Gra thought for some time as he grabbed her sword and plunged it into the corpse of a Balou, noticing a faint amount of Water Qi enter it. After observing, he concluded, "Alright, the ability of the Ras is faintly accumulated within the Balou. Even though it isn't comparable to killing a Ras, this might improve the weapon slightly."

"Then, we can upgrade your weapon…" Re'Kha said when Re'Gra shook his head.

He then used her sword to stab into the Balou at numerous places until it turned into a withered husk, dissolving into a murky pool that was eradicated by the Water Qi soon after, "It seems leaving the corpses here would keep their residual effect in place. So, even after we leave this place, these three corpses would continue to damage the Tikka jewellery of everyone here."

"And," He looked at Re'Kha, "It might seem like upgrading the weapon of everyone is the best choice. But, we have to first upgrade yours into a Magic Artifact. That way, if we come across a stronger Ras, we can use it to damage it."

"That makes sense," Re'Kha nodded, "And, this Golpa Ras wasn't as strong as the Ras I faced in the Gro Mining Village. The amount of fear it induced was more than the amount these two combined could unleash."

"So, they were just hatchlings then, dammit." Re'Gra cursed as stabbed the sword into the second Balou, stabbing it multiple times as the sword absorbed all its essence, causing its body to collapse into a murky fluid that was eradicated by the Water Qi.

He did the same to the final Balou, heaving a sigh of relief before beginning to recover his Water Qi reserves. Re'Kha picked up her Water Qi Essence, deactivating it as she calculated there was more than enough Water Qi around them to recover completely.

After recovering ten units, she exited the range of the Water Qi and summoned her Rupak using Wind Qi, sending it to scout through the surroundings. She then returned to the Water Qi rich area, slowly recovering her Water Qi reserves, saying, "Just in case, remain here for some more time. In the off chance we are affected by the fear it emitted, the Water Qi would eradicate them all."
