Chapter 277 Controlling Anger
Contrary to what she's thinking about though, she's far too away from death during these moments, this fact being proven as the soft decaying flesh of the Calamity Beast starts to just disintegrate around her, a rush of life force flowing into her very being as she starts recovering herself, her exposure to the bright sun once again causing her to open her eyes in wonder just what happened.
Still floating on the air, the immortal-like young man is currently looking at the valiant-looking beauty currently still dazed as she looks at him, his hands already on his back once again after swinging it before, the aura of the Heaven Devouring Ultimate Art still visible on his hand, the deep gash he created on the Calamity Beast's massive body still there as well.
"Astaria, looks like you're slacking in training, prepare to enter a hellish kind of training once we return" instead of encouraging and comforting the blond beauty now just like how he always did before, the immortal-like young man proceeds to threaten her with training with him, something that she so fear due to how difficult his regime is, something that he said is inherited from his paternal grandmother.
Prompting herself to stand up from her position, the valiant-looking beauty holds her weapon once again, thinking to herself that she must never commit such rookie mistake once again.
"Calm yourself down, don't let that anger burden you and deprive you of your senses, quell that anger, use it to your advantage" seeing her still shaking hands, clearly more from the anger than from brushing past death, the immortal-like young man uses his voice, infusing his soul power and qi into it, causing his words to sound extremely powerful to her ears.
Experience more tales on empire
Hearing the immortal-like young man's words, Astaria starts regaining her previous bearing, the serious look once again emerging from her heroic face as the anger gradually got mellowed down in her heart, transforming from a long raging river to a vast calm ocean, silently engulfing everything thrown into it before being destroyed in its depth.
Once again finding her resolve, she holds her guandao tighter than ever, the materials merely made from what this world can produce barely holding on as it struggles to carry the burden of a Pedestal Establishment Realm cultivator's strength, the only thing that seemingly continues to hold the weapon together being its desire to witness such glorious moment with its recognized master.
Staring into the many eyes decorating the grotesque Calamity Beast's head, the valiant-looking blond beauty doesn't even show a trace of emotion on her gorgeous face, her bright watery eyes merely reflecting the areas in the beast's head that seems to be an easy target to her, weaknesses that she can exploit during this fight.
Taking a deep breath with her eyes closed, the beauty takes a second to once again make herself immersed in the battle, no more thoughts of revenge and all other things clouding her mind, only the thought of the act, as well as the way of killing the monstrosity in front of her, the mellowed bloodlust appearing more terrifying to the Calamity Beast's senses than her previous explosive one.
Lifting the guandao up she pointed its sharp, shining tip towards one of the Calamity Beast's eyes, her beautiful face sporting a mocking smile as if she's taunting the beast to attack her, something that the angered beast really does as it starts to wail, all while trying to manipulate the flesh in the area its opponent it currently in, trying to engulf its opponent once again.
Try as he might though, there seems to be a problem with the flesh from that region as it just refuses to regenerate itself, the deep gash left by the immortal-like young man with a single swing tormenting it with insurmountable pain, and yet, it feels like its not feeling any pain at all, as if there's something fundamental removed just by that single attack sent by the immortal-like young man still calmly floating in the air.
As it got distracted by the biggest source of humiliation it had ever encountered though, the little creature on its body starts to move once again, disappearing from its sight and reappearing near one of its eyes, directly stabbing it with her guandao, followed by her raising it up, completely slashing through and blinding one of its eyes.
'She's starting to utilize her power completely' seeing the improvement in combat power that the valiant-looking beauty starts to show, the immortal-like young man nods to himself as he knew that she is gradually taking control of her anger now, the process might be small as she's supposed to easily deal with the opponent due to the difference of their stats, but nevertheless, she's making a steady progress.
With each swing of her bloodied guandao, her now completely black and red dress sways with her body's movements, showcasing her enchanting figure as she continues to tear through the flesh of the Calamity Beast, the arc of the guandao as it moves according to her will making it look like she's performing a beautiful dance, a dance specifically for taking the life of the rotten beast that traumatizes entire generation of her blood, as well as the city she rules.
Pieces of rotting flesh and black ooze continues to spill from the insides of the Calamity Beast's body, the damage dealt by the little creature near its head something significant, yet not so debilitating as the previous attack from the immortal-like young man, yet nevertheless, it couldn't help but feel something that it never felt its entire life, the fear of death, coming from this little creature instead of the one floating in the air instead.
Refusing to just let itself die in such a pathetic way, the Calamity Beast starts struggling even more violently, reabsorbing the ooze spilling into the ground back to itself, its form transforming into a one even more massive one, without any humanoid feature now, its limbs lost, and its head submerging along the flesh that is once its torso, forming a completely goo like monster that is held into such size solely by its cultivation.
Letting out a roar that terrifies even the bravest of men, the Calamity Beast spits out black goo from its insides, trying to attack the little creature in front of it, that is now seemingly copying the young man floating in the air as well, both of them standing in an invisible platform suspended in the air.
{I see that you're trying to do something, do it, I will take care of everything else for you} being familiar with the feeling of enlightenment, especially due to how much he, as well as the people around him do get enlightened in cultivation, the immortal-like young man detected something the moment a disturbance appears in the valiant-looking blond beauty's aura, causing him to use telepathy once again as he assures her of her safety, forfeiting wanting to let the beauty deal with the Calamity Beast herself as he thinks that this enlightenment will benefit her far more than just defeating this amalgamation of things.
Hearing Su Xiaotian's words, Astaria just stares at him thankfully for a while before she closes her eyes, still standing straight on her position as she holds her guandao with two hands.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
