Swish—Swish, swish—The group had reached the mountain range in just a few seconds. It was Alex, Martiny, Fairy Doctor, and Drake.“Sister, could Izanami Shrine be located within Mount Fuji?” Fairy Doctor asked in surprise.Since Martiny was Hilbert’s wife, and Dawn was Hilbert’s sworn sister, calling Martiny her sister was technically correct as well.Martiny nodded. “That’s right.”She then turned to Drake. “Uncle Drake, you’ve used up too much of your energy, and it’ll take quite some time for you to rejuvenate. So you shouldn’t go in with us, I’ve brought the Exorcism Bell, so it wouldn’t be much of a problem there.”Drake bowed to her. “Yes miss!”It was currently snowing heavily in Mount Fuji, but such frigid temperatures didn’t bother them one bit.“Follow me!” Martiny walked to a pond.At the time, the surface had completely frozen over and was even covered in snow as well. If it weren’t for Martiny leading the way, they couldn’t have possibly found this place. The
Martiny shook her head. “This is no legend or myth; it’s right in front of you.”Alex gulped. “It’s massive!”Suddenly, all eight heads of the gigantic snake turned to look at them with their green, glowing eyes. Each head had a pair of eyes; hence sixteen of these glowing lights were watching them viciously.Swoosh!The water gushed in mayhem as if a giant blender had been switched on. Alex and the others felt like they couldn’t hold their bodies together.Martiny grasped onto her Exorcism Bell and stared at the snake that was rushing towards them like a meteorite. “We have to separate! I’ll take it from the front, and you two take it from the side.”“Alright!”Alex and the Fairy Doctor glanced at each other and split up. Next, Martiny shook her bell. The ringing made the snake feel as if it was facing a strong opponent, and it froze in fear.“Attack!” Martiny lunged on it first.An illusion of an astonishing Ancestor Dragon appeared behind her. She held a twenty-meter-long
Martiny rang her bell gently, forcing the snakehead to back away from her before it immediately rushed toward Alex. “Alex, let me give you a hand!”Dragon God Edict, Exorcist Lightning Sword Formation, slay all evil and possess this sword!” She then cut her fingertip and let the sword absorb her blood.In a second, the sword immediately glowed radiantly, filled with concentrated dragon Chi. It had now turned into a legendary sword with immense power.“Martiny, this is…”“I’ll explain it to you later, but let’s finish off one of the heads first. I’ll hold it while you attack!”Just then, the Ancestor Dragon behind Martiny roared as she formed a talisman with both hands—“May all those who preside over warriors be my vanguard!”“Nine Dragons Ghost Binding Curse, set!”“Alex... attack now!”Alex had concentrated the Chi within his golden core and aligned it with the Ancient Forbidden Spell of the Twelve Runes. He felt his sword grow even more powerful in his hands. It was t
After entering the cave, everything turned bright all of a sudden. They were out of the water as well.This place looked like a palace made from ice, filled with large and glittering crystals. Alex and Fairy Doctor were absolutely shocked to see their surroundings since it was the first time they came here.“Where is this place? And what… are these rocks?” asked Fairy Doctor asked as she touched the crystal wall at the side. It was… abnormally cold.“Gosh, it’s freezing!” she flinched.Alex touched it as well. It was indeed freezing cold. He could even sense a tiny bit of frosty Chi in it. He then expressed his shock. “It’s because these are spiritual ice stones. They’re a pretty good training material for anyone training in martial arts that consist of ice or frost. Since there’s so many here, those martial artists would have greatly improved their power if they were to sit and meditate here.”Martiny was surprised. “Alex, you know about these? I didn’t even recognize them the
“What should we do then?”Alex replied. “It’s as brittle as anything frozen, so we can’t use force.”He looked around and found the source of all this. It was a three-foot-tall crystal known as the Ice Crystal Marrow.Alex was overjoyed to see it. This was a material way more potent than regular spiritual ice stones. Those stones may help martial artists with ice elementals in their training, but this marrow would be able to help them go over the tipping point with ease. Brittany and Maya, who were training in Silver Frost, would most definitely improve drastically after absorbing this marrow.‘This is some real good stuff!’‘I can’t believe they’re being used as a central formation stone. This is no way to treat such treasure. I wonder who placed this formation? How wasteful!’The only reason why Nora and the others had become ice statues were because of this crystal marrow. As long as someone took it away, they would be freed from its effects.“Come to me!” Alex slammed hi
They quietly looked around but didn’t dare venture any further into the place. After that, they retreated without making a single noise.Each of them held their breaths in suspense, not daring to breathe too loudly, afraid that they might wake those creatures.For them, these were all just too shocking.After retreating to where the formation circle was, they let out a deep sigh of relief. One of the female ex Flying Eagles said, “What were those?”Going by the name of Stella Soo, her nickname was Bunty, mainly because her skin was as fair as a little lamb’s fur. In actual fact, she was indeed mixed, with her grandmother being a Korean.She was quite powerful as well, having achieved the first level of Spirit Severing.“The Japanese have always been quite ambitious. So I’m guessing that this is their secret base, and they’re preparing to wage war against us Americans. I wonder how powerful those things are? If I knew, I would’ve killed all of them just for fun,” chuckled a bu
“Divinity, I think!” replied Alex.Everyone gasped in fear.It was already quite difficult to get to the Immortalization stage, and Divinity now only existed within ancient records. Many didn’t even believe that Divinity existed in the first place. It was simply an unimaginable concept.Fairy Doctor was smart and connected some of the dots. “So you’re saying the Undying Clan and the Shuras teamed up to attack our realm, forming the ancient boundary, and… the defense border that the Supremes set during the Stone Ages was to protect us, mortals?”Alex nodded. “That’s what I thought too.”Fairy Doctor continued, “So not only do demons live in the boundary, the Shuras and the Undying Clan are there too?”“I’m not quite sure about that.” Alex shook his head.He then pointed towards the shrine. “Inside are the Forerunners, demonic objects the Shura Army made. They’re mainly used for invasion, and they have the power to infect normal humans with viruses that will turn them into a Shu
Roaaarrrr!!!Suddenly, a long, frightening scream came from inside the palace.Echoes resonated throughout the entire area, turning Alex and the others’ faces pale.“Did you guys hear that?” Nora asked.“Oh sh*t! Have they woken up now?” Butcher had big eyes, hence widening made them look like they were bulging out.“Oh no!” Dawn looked towards the palace as her heart sank to the bottom of the sea.Martiny said, “We can’t let them get out of this place. Not only would Japan be demolished, but they might also get to America, then spread around the entire world.”Alex nodded. “Let’s get to the entrance. As long as we stand guard, we might just pull this off.”Everyone thought it was a good idea. Guarding the entrance meant that they didn’t have to deal with that many Forerunners in one go.They took their weapons out and rushed toward the palace entrance.Alex called out to them. “Wait, let me put a Zharvakko formation circle there, or we’ll be in trouble once we get infected b
