Chapter 306: Hei Bai the Necromancer
When she spoke, her aura rapidly multiplied. Sage no longer felt they were in the same league anymore. Her power was far greater than his own, and the tar beneath her began to reshape itself again. It no longer acted like an appendage and instead started to form humanoid shapes just like the big pit had much earlier. Hei Bai released a bone-chilling screech and her hair stood on end. At the same time a multitude of spirits flew out of her back and into the human shaped tar mannequins. A moment later, the mannequins came to life, turning into the tar people that hed seen in use before. Only this time, they all carried a trace of intelligence in their eyes, just like the one hed first lit on fire.
Seems she can create different levels of these puppets or tar golems. Judging from her behavior, at least it seems to cost something to use.
Sage now understood that she had been merely toying with him earlier. This old woman was many stages higher than him, but thankfully he didnt feel the aura of the sixth rank. He still had a fighting chance, but he would need to pull out all the stops. While Hei Bai was summoning up an army of tar puppets, Sage began to loosen the Human Seal. He was also breathing in deeply and topping up the air storage of the Divine Breath technique. When she made her move, Sage was ready. This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
The dozen tar people leaned forward in unison, kicking up dirt and small rocks as they took off. They charged towards Sage at high speed, each of them reaching their hands out like a wrestler aiming to start a grapple. Sage responded with another gout of brilliant white flames, dousing the whole crowd of tar people with fire. In that moment of disorientation, he followed up the flame with that soft yellow light. The light slowed them down, but Sage didnt stop there. The figures made of black oil had spread out to start surrounding him, but their view was obstructed by the surging and billowing flame. In the chaos, Sage mirrored their actions, charging forward towards Hei Bai. She wished to overwhelm him with numbers, while he aimed to chop off the head of the snake. If she died, her minions would likely collapse instantly.
Sage brought the pair of scythes down, cleaving through the ghost while his other two tendrils formed into another set of scythes. All four of them rapidly swinging, dicing through the flames a dozen times before he hopped back and examined the effect. Hei Bai laughed loudly and the mound of black tar behind her grew even larger. Her mirth didnt seem misguided. The green flames had never dissipated, the ghost only seemed to lose its shape for a while, but as soon as he stopped slashing, it rapidly reformed. It was once again blocking his path. A dozen tar people, still engulfed in flame, were approaching him from behind, and even if he reached Hei Bai there was that massive thing building up behind her.
Sage stared into the white skull in Hei Bais good eye, Since youre going all out, I will have to as well!
A previously invisible symbol on his forehead lit up, like there was a layer of leds embedded under his skin. Or at least thats how he thought it looked, he was sure people in this world would call him a lunatic for making up such strange ideas. The mental pressure of entering into combat with someone far stronger than oneself was suddenly alleviated. Somehow, merely thinking of how ridiculous it was to be in a world full of such supernatural and spectacular things was immediately sobering. He was already living a second life in a fantastical world, and it had already lasted far longer than his first life.
He threw his arms wide and released a deep roar. He even released a bit of the Divine Breath technique to amplify his volume. As he roared, his body transformed. No, thats inaccurate. It wasnt a transformation, it was a release. His human form was merely a shell. A fragile cover for the chimeric beast beneath. His flesh did not shift or metamorphose, he didnt peel off his skin like it was a costume, nor did magic permeate his cells and change them into others. He had been sealed. When the seal was lifted, he was free. The fragile human wrapping dissolved like it had never existed. It was like he had been shoved into a vacuum sealer and all the air, his physical power, was sucked out. Then that shriveled bag was covered in a wrapping paper known as a human body. Now that he was unwrapped, the air returned and his body swelled with power.
