Chapter 1005: Battle

The huge torrent of water gave the Infernal Banyan some trouble, but it was far from enough to stop him. What they didnt know was that one of the seeds hed thrown out contained a Blacksilver Pawn, or at least the core of one, just like hed left deep down beneath the ground. To control the Infernal Banyan he had to maintain an energy connection with it and if he were to form one externally then his enemies could sense and possibly target it. Thats where the Blacksilver Pawn, and the Soul Fragment within, came to use. By the medium of his own soul, he could send Qi directly to these two huge Infernal Banyans without any external signs or connections that could be targeted. Theyd have to locate and destroy the Blacksilver Pawns if they wished to stop these huge and disgusting organisms.

At the moment, twelve rank fives attempted to take him on all by themselves and they were far from being a match even with the assistance of their powerful Magical Tool that combined their laws and multiplied their force using the river below. The moment Sage was waiting for finally came: Six Grains lifted his hands and sand flowed out from his sleeves. Or at least it looked like it at first from the speed it poured out. As it started to pile up on the ramp beside him, Sage saw that it was instead small grains of rice. Or at least thats how they looked on the surface. The rice clung together and started to form into a shape, lifting up off the ground and swirling around Six Grains like it was a wave of water. This very strange sand whirled around the man, first forming into a protective wall and then circling around the man over and over again.

The rice kept pouring out of his sleeves, completely hiding his hands with the constant flow. Then the cylindrical wall around Six Grains undulated and the man appeared at the top of it. The wall became a pillar, lifting him up into the air. A spire on top of the Spire quickly formed, and then suddenly it rippled and shot upwards. This impromptu tower of rice flowed downwards and hit the ramp of the Spire, propelling the whole mass upwards like a huge spring. In mid-air the pillar beneath the man swung around, moving from beneath Six Grains to up above him. The immense volume of rice rippled as it took on the muscled appearance of a huge arm and slammed its fist up against the Infernal Banyan that was spread out over the top of the Spires defensive formation.

One of the seeds that Sage had thrown out was obliterated just like that, the origin point of a mass of tentacles was shattered apart and all the tentacles were blasted away. Some of them were well connected enough to other seeds to remain intact, but others were completely disconnected by this attack and sent flying into the air.

The chariot he was riding on started to move, flying away from the peak of the spire and the still expanding Infernal Banyan. Six Grains chased after him, riding on a huge cloud of rice. They moved a few miles away from the Spire before Sage wheeled back around and charged back towards Six Grains. His right hand lifted and then shot forward, a black tentacle shot out from his wrist, cracking towards Six Grains as he passed by on the Flaming Chariot. The cloud beneath Six Grains swept upwards like the curl of a breaking wave, forming a shield that blocked the spike-covered whips strike. The Flaming Chariot swung around to the side and started to circle around Six Grains. So far it seemed to fly much faster than the tiny rice and Sage used it to run circles around Six Grains while constantly cracking his whip.

Six Grains wasnt affected much by these probing attacks, the rice flowing up and down to intercept the attacks with seeming ease. Sage increased the pace of the attacks, wanting to see if he could block Six Grains view by forcing him into a defensive position. With many attacks landing on the same spot for a prolonged period, the wall of rice maintained its shape, but Sage saw that there was always a small hole in the wall, allowing Six Grains to have a good view of his attacker. While it meant this tactic of letting Six Grains blind himself wasnt successful, it also showed that the rice could, in fact, block Six Grains vision.

I can work with that.

The whip continued to strike the wall, sending bits of rice flying. The little bits were knocked away, but they recovered after a moment and flew back to rejoin the main mass. This meant if he wanted to break through by force hed have to attack with enough force and ferocity to knock them all away very rapidly before they could recover. Or, that was what he hoped Six Grains thought. While the whip was striking rapidly against the wall, it suddenly elongated. It continued to strike the wall in the same space, no longer using its tip to attack, but one of the loops along its length. The whip wasnt just powered by the motion of his arm, it was also using a Spirit Power technique along with its own innate ability to be controlled with more dexterity than if it was a living thing, curling down underneath the large cloud and wrapping around behind to strike at Six Grains from behind.
