Chapter 118: Spider Melee
It was a risky move to take the Spiders head on, but Sage wanted to push himself. The Spiders were only a stage or two weaker than him, which meant one on one, especially when he had the initiative, the Spiders were easy to beat. With the Spiders no longer on the run and also having him outnumbered, Sage actually felt some pressure. From what he read about Cultivation, and what he heard about life and death experiences from earth, the stress of near death would draw out the greatest performance and ability. A Cultivator could pull out their full potential, and if they survived they would have improved rapidly. Sage wasnt facing death, he still had quite a secret weapons to call upon if he needed them. Instead, this was just a chance to put himself in danger, the threat of taking serious wounds was enough to push him to his limits. Not quite exceeding his limits in the face of death, but it was far better than training by himself.
A trio of Crystal Spiders converged upon him at the same time, giving Sage no time to strike first. One of them leaped into the air, lunging towards him, while the other two darted towards his legs from the sides. It was hard to see what their transparent bodies were doing, only their general position was easy to make out, the blur of motion obvious at close range when they moved at high speed. The 2nd Step of Falling Leaf Step, Leaf Gently Falling, was put on exhibit. Sage stepped forward, seeming like he was going to take the jumping attack head on. The two Spiders from either side started to change their aim to strike where Sage had just moved. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
In the next moment, the jumping spider flew over the other two spiders and hit the ground. The spiders to the left and right swiped out with their sharp legs. The pointed crystal limbs smashed into each other. It sounded like some dishes had fallen and shattered on the floor as each of them broke the others leg. Meanwhile, Sage appeared a couple yards away from the three Spiders and drew in a quick breath. The spiders turned towards him, not knowing what just happened, but darting towards their target once again. Sage pursed his lips and released the mass of air hed quickly drawn in and compressed, a burst of air blasted out, forming into a pressure vortex and blasting the Spiders away. The three making more cracking sounds when they smash against some of the trees.
Another pair of Spiders had taken this chance to approach Sage from behind, striking him as he released a gust of Divine Breath. Sage quickly took a Tree Spring Stance internally just before one spider struck the side of his knee with a leg while the other leaped onto his back and bit his shoulder. His knee bent inwards, then quickly sprung back into place, slapping against the spiders leg and sending it spinning off into the distance. The one on his back made him bend forward before his back straightened again. The rapid motion launching the spider upwards, but not before its bite tore out a chunk of Sages flesh.
Seems my Bugs are much stronger than me. I still have a long ways to go.
Putting a hand on the ground, Sage focused on sealing up all the gaps in the tree walls, completely blocking them with thick and heavy wood instead of just a few layers of vines to slow them down. A moment later, he willed some of the trees to part, creating an opening that the Charming Lance Beetle could rampage through.
Meanwhile, the spiders that had their entrances blocked were confused on how to attack, some starting to climb upwards where the leaves would be easier to breach. Then trees started to twist and bend, opening a huge doorway. The spiders in front of it called out, a sound like glass scratching glass brought over their comrades, the more than fifty Crystal Spiders gathering up. All of them seeming to stare down that huge bug that filled the huge gap between the trees.
Sage threw out a scent marker, telling the Lance Beetle to be aggressive. Anything that didnt have a friendly scent marker would become its target. The Lance Beetle stamped its legs, kicking up clods of dirt before taking off like a freight train, barreling towards the huge crowd of nearly transparent Crystal Spiders. Sage let it go before he closed up the gap once again, this time leaving at about the size of a doorway and quickly standing in front of it, setting himself up in a choke point to take on the spiders in small groups.
Lets go. Round two!
