Chapter 343: One More Option

It all seemed to happen in a blur. By the time Sage had turned his head from right to left, wondering what the flicker of light was, it was already too late. He saw Black Sabers naked saber and then he felt a force smash against his chest. He heard a cracking sound as he was thrown backwards. He saw that Whitestaffs namesake was in her hands and held in the air where hed just been standing. He also saw an object falling towards the ground.

Thats my arm

Sage smashed through three walls of Wu Changs manor before he finally came to a stop. Rolling through a side-hall, his body smashed a table into splinters and knocked a painting off the wall when he thudded against it. He scrambled to his feet, suddenly struck by a terrible pain both in his chest and from his shoulder. Before he could even examine the damage he caught a change at his peripheral vision. A portion of the destroyed wall split apart and Sage leapt out of the way. The wall where he was standing gained a finger wide rupture.

Black Sabers signature technique released cutting waves with unpredictable arcs that were nearly invisible from the front. Now, on their receiving end, Sage found them extremely terrifying. Hed faced them down once before when Black Saber was controlled by someone else, but it was much worse when Black Saber had his full mental capacity. Sage tried to bring out an Arrow Wall to increase his defenses, but nothing happened. Then he dove through a window and into the courtyard.

The Universe Ring! My arm!Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Scrambling for his feet once again, Sage now knew his arm was gone. Even without having the leisure to look down and examine the stump, after trying to push himself up a few times, his predicament was pretty obvious. Thankfully, Cosmic Traction could help to make up for the loss of limb. Using different densities of air to control his fall or provide things for him to push off of to keep avoiding attacks. It took everything in him to scramble away from the attacks as he tried to regain his bearings. The Universe Ring was gone. It was being worn on the left hand that had just been severed. He used to wear it around his neck to keep it hidden, while wearing a decoy ring on his hand, but after hed formed his Inner World he got tired of the inconvenience of constantly transferring stuff from the Universe Ring to another smaller Storage Ring before taking it out. It had also caused problems when he used the Human Seal to return to take his true form. A necklace was quite uncomfortable on the neck of a serpentine body. If he instead wore it as a ring, it automatically changed sizes. Only now did he realize his earlier caution had been correct.

The Formation Machine was still damaged, but even if it wasnt it was inside the Universe Ring. The Steam Tank had already been turned into a lump of twisted metal, and it too was in the Universe Ring. All of his weapons: Plate Cannon, Net Gun, Six by Six, Horde Halberd, Stumblebow, Auto-crossbows, the Triple Edged Dagger he found on Hei Bai, and even the set of Formation Swords that hed had left over from crafting for Song Lu Tian. All of them were inside the Universe Ring. The only things he had left on his body were one Web Bracer, and a common Beast Bag hanging from the Wardrobe Spider Belt.

He fired off the claw from his Web Bracer and shot it towards the peak of a wall. It almost instantly started retracting, propelling him towards the wall at high speed. Sage had to twist in mid-air and push off a bit of space to avoid the inevitable saber beam coming his way. It caught him across the calf as he twisted away, but it was only skin deep. Unfortunately, it severed his wire and he fell towards the ground. He somersaulted and took off running again, darting behind buildings to keep out of Black Sabers line of sight. He felt another hit to the Twin Soul and didnt even have time to worry about it. The Twin Soul was being hit by Whitestaff, but that didnt mean he couldnt use it to help delay Wu Chang and the Strongfist Brothers. It had been hit by Whitestaff, but that also meant it was delaying her too.

Sage had already started to exude a pale neon colored mist from his body, the Cerulean Cloud technique would conceal him from Spirit Sense and kept Black Saber from sensing him through the walls and buildings. He was slowed dramatically, forced to keep changing direction to avoid Black Saber, and so he could never pull away. Finally, he climbed onto a three story building and leapt into the air, while a huge hawk appeared above him. It was quite unusual, with sandy tan colored feathers and with splashes of green, grey, and yellow. Most unusual were its talons and beak, looking as if made of blue tinted glass. Sage grabbed hold of one of its legs, and let it carry him away.

King, get me out of here!
