Chapter 043: Lesson From The Past

  The heat within Wechuge slowly died to annoyance as the few remaining members of the militia turtled up in fear of getting torn apart from both sides of the flict. By now it became obvious, it was only due to panic that the monster mao get away with what it had been doing. They had magic based/itacks and only didn’t use them due to a mixture of attrition & misjudgement. The former due to having to tend with their “enlightened” allies which led to a o serve as muergy as they possibly could. In other words they couldn’t throw out skills willy-nilly. Without doing that they also couldn’t figure out that the haunting spirit was actually far more vulnerable to energy.A factor which was only helped by their first enter in which the shield bearer made a rather foolish assumption without even b to check Wechuge’s status.If they did then it would be obvious that the “physical wound” was merely a minor invenience.However, all of that could be summarised as merely lucky happenstahat allowed for the moo gain an advahat it otherwise wouldn’t have. Or (to simplify even more) that prideful spirit mao get incredibly lucky. Something that most definitely upset the entity.They were meant to be far above these “mere mortals” yet here they were getting taught a lesson about arrogance from them. Even if they didn’t let their anger get the better of them; there was no way to get around this problem at the moment. After all they only just got into this world so hardly could be bmed for not gaining any skills from a system they didn’t have till today.As such they could only tinue keeping the meat bags on guard, peppering their solid defences with the occasional heavy blow, so that they wouldn’t get time to form any pns. At least these stant attacks allowed the moo slot - while before they had no choice but to let attacks hit them - now they were able to occasionally shift their body then ter with arike. Sadly their teamwork was too well oiled resulting in mere flesh wounds with not much lethality.Their patience was not as firm, though. It was then that a familiar memory surfaced; specifically a monologue from their supposed therapist who had helped them to fully reise the mohey were.“You see, simir to others, it seems you only look at what you're able to do from surface level despite being able to do a lot more. Assumptions are always surface level so you should take a longer look as well as a subjective look at what skills you possess. Perhaps what you already have be made into a solution for problems you don’t uand or haven’t fou?”A strahought to have in the middle of a fight (even their inexperienced self khat getting suddenly distracted was ly a promisiure in a fighter) but those words did give the elk pause. Just as another spear was heading toward where a heart should have been - the beast decided to pletely disengage from the little barrier of shields they were huddling in. Taking a sed to remember everything they had earned in that other world which sooed in them looking down at their scythe.By now the carbon fibre edge glimmered with a few droplets of crimson - soohree crimson pyres within its skull fred up. An eerie sight that formed a gre on its abaster skull. Making it almost appear as if that malformed skull was grinning toward those frightened protectors of the city.*RATATATATA*The weight of the situation only increased as its boney jaw began to cackle at the unfortunate mortals who had gotten on its bad side by struggling so much.Without a sed of hesitation that creature leapt toward the poor souls with all the ferocity of a starved beast who had been tormented with the sight of suct morsels just out of its reach. Once more it brandished its on as if hoping to bisect the shield bearer ond for all. Although that soldier once again rose their shield and like all the other times before it-[Expert Incision]That shield didn’t even stand a ce as the bde easily cut a liraight through it. The monster didn’t even give them time to prehend that as they followed it up by throwing the weight at the end to nail the poor man right in the head. Proceeding to reach through the gap made to grab the spear wielder who reparing for the same ter they always went for.Plug the human up by his neck before retreating - literally dragging him as he kicked and screamed in a pitiful attempt to cause the cwed hand to release him from its malevolent grasp. A truly futile attempt as it was soon out of reach from his rades. Now truly feeling the blood stained breath from that maw.“丨 卄ㄖ卩乇 ㄚㄖㄩ 卄卂?乇 卩尺卂ㄚ乇? ㄒㄖ ㄚㄖㄩ尺 ?ㄖ?; ?ㄩ丂ㄒ ?几ㄖ山 丨’爪 几ㄖㄒ ㄥ丨丂ㄒ乇几丨几?.”| I hope you have prayed to yod; just know I’m not listening. |[Synthesis: Grab + Expert Incision + Grasp Soul… Special Move: Soul Punisher]Lightly chug the human into the air only to thrust their cwed hand forward, a navy glow following behind their movement, to piece right through their chest. Only it shed no blood. Instead it was an astral proje that flew out the body on the end of those spear-like fingers. That body fell limp to the ground with no perceivable injury.The same could not be said for their spirit which cwed at the limb and began to lift them up as if presenting a trophy to the world. Ohey didn’t hold in very high regard as their mouth opeo unleash a barrage of bck fmes only to finish it off by throwing the soul down into the ground. Mercilessly impag their own body; appearing almost as if they had been shocked awake in some kind of cartooo how high their body sprung from the ground to bounce away a few times.Though the sounds of the impact were far from cartoonish.That single special “special move” mao bottom out the rest of the level thirties health; letting Wechuge finish them off with o swing of their bde. Blood streaked across the floor although little really ged sihe virtual alley had long been painted red. Just another corpse on the pile.Such a big fshy move did leave the monstrosity drained of a lot of energy (a dangerous prospect sidering they were an energy-based lifeform) but there was no need for it to worry.There were plenty of ways to recharge… In fact there were plenty of batteries right in front of itself.Panic had set in now that Wechuge had “easily” mao break through their previously safe formation and those tainted warriors were not about to let go of an opportunity. Soon after taking their prey; those blessed with unity came through the gap that was made. Causing the remaining mortals to scatter like the bugs they were.Screaming and all.Wechuge decided to slurp up their first snack quickly so that they could dive into the bloody fun once again - the panic of those that remained allowed for the moo easily cut their way through. In no time at all the survivors were… Not surviving. But things only got stranger.Obviously the elk’s cruel designs turowards those enlightened, nothing strange about that, but those mind trolled people didn’t so much put up a fight. It also wasn’t as if the elk had taken them by surprise due to suddenly turning on them. Even after striking down their first victim they didn’t act; in fact they didn’t even bother to defend themselves no matter what method the moried ohey didn’t eve as that beast whether it slowly cut out their nervous system with a rusty scalpel or used their bare cws to put out the bones. Not eveing them alive did anything. Ironically that made the entity quickly give up on t them due to boredom… They still all died but it was certainly more based on efficy than pointless cruelty. When they finally won the system promptly appeared in front of them.

  The beast didly sit down and scroll through the list of their rewards, however, as they watched the world shatter around them. Soon leaving them ba that regur alleyway. Around them were the scattered mutited bodies of the city guards but the elk was already sick of seeing that uniform.Wasting no time they retreated their on bato that fming cape of theirs - getting on all four in order to spend as little time as possible. Looking up they found it weird that the buildings mostly had only two or three floors. The true meaning of that didn’t e obvious to them until they finally burst out of the alleys to arrive on the main street; that itself on somewhat of a slope down towards the o.It was as if the cryptid had been transported back to the 21st tury if way less cramped; eve could hardly pare to the mega-cities in the present day. “ㄒ卄丨丂 丨丂 山尺ㄖ几?…”| This is wrong… |Their gaze taining pure fusion,Soon their gaze turoward the o where there was a beautiful wooden ship; with a slick finish that made it appear to be shimmering like the crimsoing sun on a peaceful ke. An untless total of crimson paper sails awaited to be finally drawn t its crew to as of yet unseen horizons. A strange square with squares inside of it was on those sails… It feels like a symbol I’ve seen from my resear my past life. Across both sides of the ship were ons that glimmered a magenta aura that weighed down heavily on those who found themselves within the crossfire. The monster really hoped it didn’t decide to fire before they mao get away.Not at all helped by the fact that - on a single side - it possessed a frightening total of 42 ons on each level of the hull. Including the deck that meant the ship had a total of 336 ons on the sides for a terrifying total of 672. Although a caveat for that was that some of the ons clearly had different purposes and that included some that were inteo act far more like rge raillery of she.It also didn’t include ons that weren’t on the sides of the hull…Upon the back was a set of 22 ons that seemed primed to make any would-be followers resider any clever thoughts of ag up Meanwhile, front are, was a final on of truly frightening size that seemed like overkill no matter the target. They certainly khey wouldn’t survive it.Said on erched beautifully within the maw of peared to be a mixture mix between an axolotl & easter style dragon. The wood given a special lic colouration on the main head as two white branches came out from the dragohat was depicted. A set of exteriills even came from the beasts cheeks; adorned in gold pting that seamlessly melded into the holes that held the prior mentioned 672 other ons.No way this wasn’t the crimson prio top it off a familiar butterfly appeared with a frantic flight pattern; as if warning the elk to get as far away from the pce as it could.This was the final straw that made Wechuge decide to flee from the city but wheurned around they found their attention pletely enraptured by a pair of violet eyes. Those eyes narrowed with a savage curiosity that made the monster want to run all the more. Sadly they didn’t get a ce to so much as flinch as a first appeared in front of their face - aimed right at their forehead-based eye socket.Instinctively they backed away while turning their head to the left, their right eye instead, as a sudden burst of fming pain engulfed their sciousness.
