Chapter 549: Fire and Brimstone
Slowed down as he was, he could barely keep his distance from the giant monster. The fiery wasteland created in their wake made for an easy to follow trail, and despite how fast Ruanfu had been flying, he knew it was only a matter of time until his enemies caught up with him.
Maybe thats not a bad thing.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
The giant tortoise stayed on his tail, and despite not knowing why it was so fixated on him, he might still use this to his advantage. The large scale destruction that this monster caused was terrifying. For a moment he thought about turning it against the cities of his enemies, but immediately decided against it. Too many innocents would be involved. Even if he wasnt heartless, there was a rule from the higher power to prevent the slaughter of mortals. Now, Sage knew that to be the Kingdom and Empire level, and while they wouldnt bat an eye if mortals were killed, that was only up to a point. If thousands of mortals died, there would be an effect on the economies of the human cities. If that happened, the perpetrator would have to make up for the loss or they would face punishment. When the numbers got larger, so would the required punishment and reparations. If the higher ups didnt get their tributes, they would be angry.
Even so, there was still a use for this big beast following him. Sage slowly circled the area, increasing the swathe of devastation that the monster left in its wake. He didnt want to destroy a larger area like that, but he was steering the tortoise back towards the way hed come from and he couldnt just go between its legs. While the tortoise moved slowly, there was no telling what tricks it might have if he were to get too close. The only reason hed been somewhat safe so far was because of the long range.
He slithered quickly away and chuckled inwardly as it seemed the Fu Clan didnt seem to realize what was on his tail. The ground was gently rumbling and a fire burned in the forest, but the smoke from the fires along with their own black smoke was probably making it hard for them to see what was going on. It was also something that Sage had been hoping to make happen, hed been constantly slithering into low valleys and riverbed areas. While it increased the number of times he got trapped by the falling boulders, he also hoped the high ground around him could hide the tortoise in the distance. The moving volcano probably thought he was trying to hide from it, but that monster had somehow stayed right on his tail the whole time.
Once he avoided the first ambush from the Fu Clan, a half dozen others were sprung. He avoided explosive talismans, slaughtering formations composed of hundreds of energy blades, flurries of thousands of hidden weapons bearing poison, and finally, actual Fu Clansmen jumping out with weapons drawn and aiming for his weak points. Even as injured as he was, his Demonic Beast body was like a snake-shaped tank. He constantly healed his injuries and pushed his Qi production to the limit while bringing out the Blacksilver Pawns. They leapt onto his body and combined together.
Blacksilver King. The third form they could take, the dozen Soul Fragments working together with the Sovereign Stone to guide and control the Black Enhydros to form a thick layer around his body and scales. The added mass made him stronger and the thick layer protected him from impacts. Then thousands of sword sized spikes shot out from the oil black layer. The Blue Icesilver created a hedgehog-like offensive and defensive covering for his body, held together by the Black Enhydros. The blades were angled backwards, allowing them to slide along with his direction of motion and to even improve his traction on the ground. It also stopped him from slithering backwards, but he embraced this freight train like motion and continued to rumble away from the tortoise behind him and the Fu Clansmen that were coming towards him from all sides.
As usual, they liked to build a perimeter and slowly close the net, always the hunters trying to keep their prey from escaping. It was just too bad for them that they didnt realize Sage wasnt the prey, he was bait.
