Chapter 1069 - 1068 - Immortal Hunt
Teegan could feel exhaustion setting in but she did not stop. There seemed an endless number of black cloaked enemies. The True Lord had truly revealed how dangerous he was.
The Fiend agents could not risk his further actions after he had removed a Divine Ruin and counteracted their bloodline array.
He also planned to destroy it and more. Even if they were unsure of the latter, they could not allow the former to go forth. It was only when she left her city that she realized how much her people benefited being protected by his weavings.
From what she had understood. The True Lord had not known about the array back then but his harmony could negate it. It also helped that her people's lair was far outside the Law Bindings until recently.
They theorized that while the array was everywhere, it was generally wearing away at the mental resistance of everyone so that when orders or suggestions were given, no one resisted.
It was only now that she felt it wearing away at her mind that she knew it did not exist in her city.
She had come south with 2 of the emerald tigers but she could tell they were not going to endure forever. They were damaged and the power that once shone so brightly in them had faded somewhat the farther south they moved.
Priestess Chu had sensed something and smiled at her. She had said she could handle what was left of the north so Teegan turned south.
It was good that she had as the enemy was using ice balls the size of small mountains to slam into the wards!
She slammed out with her flames while the tigers began to slam into the enemy assaulting the wards.
Blood filled the air but they were just a tiny drop in the bucket! Her aura could not reach from the height she was at yet the enemy ignored her. They knew she could not threaten them overall.
She was 1 Immortal versus at least a dozen!
Her dark golden eyes narrowed as she knew it would only take 3 of them to counter her easily.
It was time to hunt then, it seemed.
She flew up into the sky and began to command all the elements around her. Dragons had several innate skills but one of them was the full command of the skies!
Black clouds gathered as the pressure began to drop. Blessed Amber Scale Dragons could not conjure a full storm, but they could gather a rather unique one for dragons.
Cold began to be felt by the forces below.
"Tck, a blizzard will hardly–" A woman spoke but was silenced as lightning struck her! Lightning in a blizzard?
It made no sense!
"That was not lightning! It was a blade of water and light!" A man shouted and was then decapitated by a similar beam. They began to fall in earnest!
"Cold Blade Storm! It is a Blessed Amber Scale Dragon!" Another woman called out, 1 of the Immortals. She erected several defenses of earth that nearly shattered a moment later with more flashes of light!
It was a unique storm to that clan and was the bane of many enemies over the epochs of history.
Unlike many other dragons, the Blessed Amber Scale Dragons could not use their own elemental lightning as they had no main element. Instead, they were an offshoot of the Azure Ice Dragons according to legend that blended with the Pure Light Dragons.
The result had been an increase in purity of the blood but a loss of some skills each clan held. Instead, it gave birth to a rather unique power that even Arts could not imitate!
"I thought they were wiped out!" A demon screamed as metal shields creaked from the deepening cold.
"Forget about it and hold your–" A large man was shouting when an amber tail shattered his gravity shields like they were nothing. His head was blown open by the same tail and the first Immortal died.
Aside from the tail, no one saw anything! Panic spread but they began to be picked off until the woman with earthen shields realized what was happening.
"It is using the storm to hide from us! It is not just–" Amber flames liquified her defenses like they were nothing to finally reveal the dragon in the air above them that they finally understood.
Water and light were the best elements to make illusions! The damned dragon was hiding from them!
Teegan sneered but was almost about to fall out of the sky. She had killed half the Immortals and the rest were hiding in various methods from her.
A few were troublesome in her current state but it was almost laughable as she realized that her body was enough to get at most of them!
The demon's metal defenses were shattered like glass as he could not compensate for the bitter cold. His blades, however sliced open her front right limb she had used to smash it aside.
Now that they knew she was attacking, they prepared to retaliate.
Her eyes narrowed in contempt as a lesson from the True Lord came to her at that moment. No matter how little Qi or how weak a cultivator was to their enemy, weaknesses always exist to be exploited.
She had been brute forcing her attack with the storm or illusions but now she needed to act quickly for one last attack.
She could discern the right conditions were met as she began to flap her wings almost sporadically until the air and clouds swirled slowly into a cycle. Rather than create the next attack with Qi, she used the weather conditions themselves!
The previous temperatures had been rather hot and now cold air with moisture had been sapped from the air to make her attacks!
The right combination of events were tipped over by her wings to become self-sustaining as the cultivators below were confused.
{Far too many cultivators forget to fear nature. They forget the power of Heaven and Earth in the most basic power of the world around us. They fear Qi, Arts, and conjuring far more rightly so, but forget the true power over us all.}
The True Lord's voice filled her head as a tornado was born but the fools only thought of it as the natural force alone! They forgot the storm above was hers alone!
"Die!" She felt pain as poison Qi shot out like an arrow into her back hide! It had pierced her defenses! The tornado had revealed her location!
She looked down and saw a slim demon flinch as the whirling storm suddenly lit up with Cold Light Blades!
It went from a relatively easy to defend tornado to a storm of death!
Screams filled the air as the other Immortals were exposed or killed outright by her combination attack. The other forces with them stood no chance but Teegan was fighting the poison.
She quickly summoned an elixir and downed it. The soothing feeling spread quickly but the poison slowed down her recovery! She knew she would survive but if she collapsed outside the wards, the bloodline array could claim her mind!
She tried to leave but 2 Immortals had survived! The tornado was being undone by them as her storm dispersed. She could no longer sustain it as the sun returned quickly.
There was a woman with dark red hair and missing an eye that barely stood with wounds all over her voluptuous body and what felt like a beast to her! He had long graying hair down his back as black robes covered him under his cloak.
Both were weakened by the storm but the survivors of their army were looking at her with vicious greed. They would rip her apart for her body parts when she fell.
"You may have saved those damnable fools, but your life is ours! Your race dies here!" The man snarled as fanged teeth on his lower jaw were revealed that were rotting. A boar! He was some kind of boar!
Teegan fell faster than she could escape until she crashed into the ground. She was far short of the barriers! Frustration filled her heart at not succeeding in her task!
The tigers were long destroyed and she doubted they were so easy to create again for Jur.
[Petryn, I love you!] She sent a thought as hard as she could but her telepathic attempt failed. She felt it peter out just beyond her skin like always.
She stood up with difficulty as blood dripped from her many wounds and turned to face her final battle.
She would not go down alone! The 2 Immortals sneered at her but the battle froze as a roar was heard behind them. All turned to find a young man glowing with emerald light and silver shadow around him of a tiger!
Bori! Bori had come and seemed like he was in a trance! The emerald light then shifted to reveal a dragon! It was a dragon Teegan knew instinctively.
[Don't just stand there, run!] The True Lord's voice filled her mind but she saw the young man shred the last 2 Immortals as they could only feel horror at the power brought to bear on them. The remaining forces scattered as they feared another Immortal had come to kill them all but Bori simply blurred before passing by her.
She stumbled after him as the elixir finally began to work since she could devote more Qi to it. She lived! The hunt had ended but the war did not seem to be over.
