Chapter 116: Extermination
With a bit of experience under his belt battling the Crystal Spiders, Sage was ready to put himself into some danger. Without experiencing some danger, he couldnt really put his techniques to the test. He had prepared himself as much as possible, studying their weak points, learning their battle patterns, and preparing backup. While always careful, Sage mused about how cautious he was being. Seems that Im not as confident in these new powers as I thought I was.
Having never used them outside of a training yard, it was reasonable for him to be wary of their effectiveness. Sage knew the set of techniques was powerful, he just wasnt sure of his own competency with them. Storing the rope dart, Sage dashed into the purple forest of crystal, entering the border of the Four Cornered Forgetfulness Formation. The few spiders he saw would hide and run from him, spreading out and letting him pass by. Good, the tactics are the same.
Instead of rushing deeper into the forest and letting himself get caged in, Sage chased down one of them that was trying to escape. Stepping onto a gust of wind, Sage used Falling Leaf Steps to land next to the Spider. Stomping both feet down, Sage took a strange looking stance. His waist swayed and his back stretched, one shoulder rolled backwards as he lifted his fist. It was a strange looking punch, seeming to completely telegraph his motion with a huge windup. His fist flew forward, accelerating constantly until it smashed against the face of the spider. It wasnt the technical term for it, but since a spider had no head, its mouth and eyes were basically just mounted on the front of its body. Calling it a face seemed an apt description.
Two of the eyes were smashed to a pulp when Sages fist cracked the Spiders carapace and smashed the area between the two eyes. The eyes were drawn into the sunken area and ruptured from the pressure and movement. With the front of its vision range missing, the Spider was a greatly reduced threat. Sage was most wary of their energy draining bite, but without the front pair of eyes, the Spider would have a far more difficult time landing a solid bite. With the primary threat reduced, Sage had time to perform another attack. Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
Swaying to the left, Sages right foot twisted and then planted down. A slow torsion building up in him, starting from the planted foot and climbing up his body. Sages left leg lifted into the air and swung behind him in a long arc all the way around to the front, dropping down from above the spider. His body spun around, the kick came from high and to the right of where he used to be facing smashing down against the side of the Spiders body. Colliding against the four joints that connected the spiders body and legs.
Sage brought out an object large enough to be a stage. A huge metal disc nearly ten feet in diameter and many inches thick. It had dozens of plate shaped depressions on it which were quickly filled with more plates. The huge formation plate was currently Sages best creation, but it was only a backup. After placing down the plate, Sage moved his hands and fingers into a few strange shapes and configurations like a set of gang signs. Cultivators called them handseals. Qi sent through the many pathways and out of the Qi Pores in the hands and fingers could generate many different strange techniques and effects. By adding in the motion of the fingers and hands, they could mimic the effects of Array Symbols. It wasnt exactly the same, but the principles were similar and led to infinite variation and effect.
Finishing the series of handseals, a dot of glowing green light formed at the tip of Sages right index finger. The large dot of light was pressed against the largest nearby tree where it left his finger and seemed to fade away. Sage formed a different handseal and focused his energy. The spot where the green light disappeared suddenly cracked. The purple crystal tree suddenly had a large fissure on the side of it which was rapidly expanding. Brown vines crawled out of the crack with astounding speed. More and more of the vines spilled out, crawling all over the purple crystal tree and soon covering it completely. The crystal tree got dimmer and dimmer, cracks appearing all over the crystalline surface as it was strangled by the mass of vines. Soon the vines extended to the full height of the Crystal tree and all over its many branches and boughs.
The vines near the top of the tree started growing leaves while also extending their vines outward from the ends of the branches and down towards the ground. Where the vines touched the ground they dug in like new roots. More vines added to the first ones that fell and twined around them. They were known as aerial roots, falling from branches and growing larger till they hardened and formed into a new tree body of their own. The original crystal tree rapidly withered and crumbled to dust. The many vines that strangled it, hardened into solid wood, creating a large hollow tree trunk. Using the crystal tree like scaffolding as it drained away its resources and then took its place.
The mass of vines became a tree. The trees branches dropped down vines which grew into more trees from the top down. The new trees sent out more aerial roots of their own. More and more trees began to form, a single tree that became a forest all on its own.
Sage had Summoned the Sacred Banyan.
