Chapter 308: Blood Ghost

The pile of black oil had formed into a sort of bubble shape, nearly twenty feet high. Its presence had become more and more ominous as he tried to approach closer to Hei Bai, but now that feeling suddenly disappeared. He knew it wasnt gone, it was only the calm before the storm. He had just recovered from the scream that attacked his spirit, and it was already too late for him to interrupt whatever process was going on inside the giant black bubble. Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

He stuck to his original plan and didnt wait to see what came out of it, darting instead towards the old woman. Rushing directly towards her, he sent out his Twin Soul through the palm of one hand when it came into contact with the ground. Pushing himself off and releasing the secret weapon. At that moment he fed Qi into the Cosmic Traction ability, using the empty air as a surface to slither along, combining the movement of a snake with the propulsion of his four limbs clawing the ground. He darted in rapidly and his head launched towards Hei Bais throat, his jaws opening wide.

Unfortunately for him, he had no idea that Hei Bais eye perfectly perceived the movement of the Twin Soul. The tiny green dragon reached Hei Bai and went for a bite, while the Twin Soul moved under the ground and attacked her from below. A normal opponent would do their best to fend off the snapping jaws, oblivious to the real threat from below. Sage had used the Twin Soul many times to shock a persons soul with the sudden combat and then catch them with his physical body. Once he poisoned them with his fangs, theyd be even weaker against the Twin Soul attacking them from within.

Hei Bai saw it all coming. Sight beyond Death gave her a perfect view of all spirit forms and that included the Twin Soul. The old woman brandished her bone staff in front of her, holding it up to try and catch the teeth of the tiny dragon. Just as the Twin Soul was about to leap up out of the ground, she took a quick step backwards, hopping out of the way as the Twin Soul shot up out of the ground. Both Sage and his Twin Soul were now directly in front of her and she let out another blood curdling screech.

The red figure stopped shrinking, instead turning to face towards Sage. Three orifices opened up upon its face, forming two pits of utter darkness where a person would have eyes and a mouth. There were no organs to speak of, but its red oil body looked quite like blood, almost like a bipedal beast that had been skinned. It lifted its hands, palms up, and slowly operated its fingers. They were tipped with vicious blades, each a knife six inches long. Hollow eyes looked down at its slowly fluttering fingers and then bent forward to watch as its toes did the same. It looked like it was learning how to operate its body.

Sage let it get familiar with itself while he did the same. Testing dozens of different ideas, viewing the future with Foresight. The strength of his Formation Plates were too weak against this creature, as were the Harpoon Cannons and Six by Six. His flame breath seemed to have little effect as this new creature somehow combined extreme heat into the oil golems. The Formation Machine was already setup to prevent Hei Bais escape, and his wood techniques would be quickly burned away by the extreme heat.

Hei Bai finished slicing off large strips of her own skin and flesh. The wounds didnt bleed much, the heat having caused large burns that nearly cauterized themselves. She put the knife away and picked her staff back up from the ground where she dropped it. Sage had thought about going after it, but he saw with Foresight that it was a trap and she was ready to detonate it. He could see the pain on her face, but she couldnt stop to treat her wounds in the middle of a fight. Instead just eating a few pills while watching the standoff between the red oil golem and the green dragon.

Her previous arrogance seemed very dampened, not saying a single word since the creature had finished its formation. She looked very impatient, gritting her teeth and struggling to maintain the glowing skull in her eye.

Looks like shes not even really in control of this one. Now its time for the real fight!
