Chapter 526: Skeleton
Like thunder crashing across the sky, the sound of the monsters hooves smashing the dirt assaulted Sages eardrums. The monster lowered its clearly visible spinal column, and revealed a little hitch in its step. The creature gathered its legs beneath it in order to deliver a powerful blow with its lowered head. Not just intending to drag the sharp point of its horn across his body, but putting its all into a fully loaded tackle. The sharp point of its largest horn perfectly lined up with his bellybutton and pierced through Sages body like a needle popping a balloon.
At least it did in one of the possible futures that he saw. Watching what the monster was going to do allowed him to react before an event even occurred. He knew where the horn would be seconds before it ever got there. With practice, Sage had become more and more experienced with the Timeless Eyes, most especially Foresight. It created many illusion-like existences in his sight, reacting to his own intents and showing him many visions of what might be. He had to clearly maintain his current intent as the longer he stuck to a course of choice the visions would grow more concentrated.
The more committed he was to his current course of actions, the more focused Hindsight became. Less and less of the illusory futures would appear and narrow down the possibilities further. So, when things were truly dangerous he had to commit to something and follow it through until he ran out of options. Being indecisive and deliberating over a course of action did the opposite, creating so many branching paths it became extremely difficult to make good predictions. It was still useful for seeing things that were extremely unavoidable, like a landslide, or the herd of beasts heading over like a tide. It was also quite useful on very straightforward, calculating, or willful opponents. The mercurial ones that always lived in the instant and didnt plan anything were almost made stronger by the sheer flood of possibility.Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
Waiting till the very last moment made the future the most clear. It also put him within a hair's breadth of danger. He had to brave the feeling of being near in order to wait until the last instant to act differently than the future he saw. The sooner he changed what he was doing the more scattered the future. Sage was standing still, staring down that skeletal rhino-horse like he was made of stone. Then at the very last instant he threw himself to the side and ducked the swipe of the monsters horns.
The first one held the rhino-horses back, causing it to start trying to buck and throw him off. Contrary to that success, the other one was falling backwards to try and scuttle out fearsome aura that came surging towards it from Hei Bai. Unfortunately, it was not fast enough and the terrible power smashed against the Blacksilver Pawn and instantly snuffed the Soul Fragment that was guiding it. The black tar looking flesh and silvery ice bones lost their cohesion and splash onto the ground. Without the Soul Fragment to drive it and transfer over Sages Qi it lost not only its controller but its power source.
Sage had seen it happening, but he was committed till too late and lost to Hei Bais surge of strength. He had no idea what the limit on that aura was. There was no way to tell if even now she was just playing with him and that deadly power could come towards him. Even if the old woman had not moved yet, it didnt mean she couldnt. That might also be another trap shed placed. That was why Sage only dared to send in a Blacksilver Pawn. Compared to the half of his Soul Power that was in the Soul Clone, the fragment in the Pawn was a small loss. Hed also been given some inspiration towards the source of that dreadful energy. When it struck the Blacksilver Pawn it passed through the Black Enhydros and Blue Icesilver layers like they werent even there. Not a mark was left on its oily flesh layer and only the Soul Fragment was affected.
So, does it only affect spiritual things?
Thinking this way, a large crossbow appeared in Sages hand and he started firing off bolts towards the old necromancer.
