Chapter 528: Cost
Sage didnt bother replying to the crazy woman, the only response she got was another flurry of bolts flying in her direction. She still looked like she was trying to finish absorbing the green ghost, so Sage went back on the offensive. Since shed arrogantly thrown aside her staff, she no longer had a weapon in hand to block the flying projectiles. Sage didnt fall for any of her baiting, nor was he interested in letting her finish whatever sort of powering up she was doing. He maintained the stranglehold of the Law of Corruption upon her strange aura to keep it from spreading while shooting at her incessantly.
Hei Bai screeched at the incoming crossbow bolts and then batted aside the molten bolt tips with her hands. Her skin sizzled where the molten materials struck it, and little droplets made it through her blocking and left burning gouges on the surface of her skin. After screaming a third time, she grit her teeth and a wavy bladed dagger appeared in her hand. She used the kris to slice open her palm and blood started dripping onto the ground. At the same time a huge pile of bones appeared in front of her and Sages crossbow bolts buried themselves ineffectually into the bone mound. Many of them were shattered or broken by the empowered bolts, but the pile did its job in protecting Hei Bai for a while. Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
Sage started to circle around the woman again to give him an angle without the bones in the way, but as he was moving he saw the result of her actions. Somehow the blood she spilled seemed attractive to spirits. Within moments hundreds of tiny wisps and small ghostly beings rose from the ground. They flew towards her, wailing and moaning. They swirled around her, looking like they wanted to consume her, but somehow they couldnt approach any closer than a few yards from her. It was like she had an invisible force field that kept them all perfectly at bay.
By the time Sage lined up another clear shot, he was already retreating again. The spirits that Hei Bai had summoned had been put to use. She chanted some strange words and then she slapped the bone pile and the cloud of spirit beings flew into it. There was a low rumbling and then the clatter of many bones knocking against each other. Like a macabre xylophone or wind chime they made some very spooky noises while the pile of bones transformed into a small army of unusual monsters. The pile was extremely haphazard, as were the collection of spirits that had been pushed to inhabit it. The resulting monsters were equally odd and mish-mashed.
Sage harassed her for a few more minutes before he suddenly remembered something and then leapt off the pillar of earth hed used the Sovereign Stone to create. He stomped on empty air and used Cosmic Traction to solidify the space. With the expenditure of Qi he ran on the air, ascending to a position directly above Hei Bai and staying well away from the terrible aura she was emitting. Sage revealed a devilish smile down at the focused necromancer below him.
Then a huge boulder appeared. It was dozens of feet wide, in a sort of flat plate-like shape.
Sage didnt taunt her verbally, nor was he foolish enough to announce his intentions. Instead he just went directly to a vicious assault. Just like the last time theyd fought, Sage had smashed her body into a pulp beneath a giant boulder. Now that he was facing her again, he repeated the same tactic. He didnt expect it to be very successful, but it would definitely rile her up. And from the way she was trying to control her emotions at the moment, Sage would love to interrupt whatever process she was in the middle of. Hed already failed with purely physical interruptions, but how about mental ones?
Just as he was hoping, the sight of a giant rock falling upon her made her cough up a bit of blood. Her anger couldnt be suppressed and she screeched at him. Her body shook from the fierce energy she was channeling. Her scream was many times hotter than previously and the stone falling towards her was quickly converted into flowing lava. The burning lava fell onto her like a spilled floodwater, splashing onto the ground and flowing outward in all directions. The lava spread outwards and Hei Bai was still standing in the same spot, looking to be in roughly the same shape. Her black robes were sizzling, releasing a bit of smoke in places, but she looked largely unharmed. There was blood standing her lips and chin, but that had happened before the lava hit her.
Even if the stone itself didnt hurt her, if the energy she expended to stop it wore her down, it was a win in Sages mind. He hopped back and forth in the air, and summoned out another giant stone from his Inner World to drop on her.
