Chapter 57: Spirit Invasion Part 1

"The war is on the horizon!"

Tyler stood in front of his city, standing next to Misaka and others as he spoke.

Behind them was a massive wall of clay and rock, creating a pseudo-defense for his city.

"This is not going to be easy."

Misaka replied.

"War will never be easy. But we will not give up."

Tyler spoke.

"Am I the only one getting excited?"

Liam raised his hand and asked.

Suddenly, five pairs of eyes fell on him.

Liam was startled but also stubborn in his own way. He took out his sword and said.

"What? I am just describing my emotions."

They chuckled, but Misaka’s expression drastically changed.

"Lord, something is wrong. There is a Continent Level Monster."

Tyler shook his head and said.

"Misaka, you can also make mistakes. There is no reason to be so upset."

"Lord, I am not kidding."

Misaka showed some anger in her eyes as she said.

Tyler nodded.

"And, I am not saying you made a mistake here. I am saying you made a mistake by judging Martin’s words with your set of rules."

"It is normal for us to make mistakes. We are just humans. But, this just got a whole lot harder."

Hearing that, Misaka felt a bit ashamed. She lowered her head as she nodded.

"Sir, aren’t you a bit too calm?"

Rose kept her eyes on him and asked.

"Oh? I am scared. I’m really scared. But being scared will not help us win this war. So, I can’t feel fear."

"The only thing that I need to feel is determination and calmness."

Tyler replied as he stared straight into the horizon.

His eyes never left the sight of the sun as he watched several shadows slowly emerging from the distance.

One by one, several of the floating ghosts appeared in their plain sight. The numbers kept increasing, and the area became colder.

He finally withdrew his gaze from them and turned towards his team, saying.

"I don’t know if we will win this battle. But I am proud to be your Lord. We will fight till we die."

"We will fight till we die." "We will fight till we die." "We will fight till we die."

Several of them started shouting at the same time as they strengthened their resolve.

"I am taking the lead."

Misaka said as she suddenly disappeared, turning into a blur of white light as she rushed towards the enemy line.

With a drop of tears coming from her eyes, she said.

’No matter what, I will protect you, My Lord. Your existence gives me meaning. I will not let anyone end it."

[Gravity Manipulation]

[Fourth Skill- Super Almighty Push]

She channeled a massive amount of Aura into her palms as she raised both of them towards the enemy and shouted.

Her body started releasing a powerful force of gravity that went out like a tidal wave and pushed forward even the air.

The gravity kept moving until it engulfed a single spirit that came forward.

The spirit released a strange dark energy that erupted into a chaotic tornado and struck the gravity push.

The collision between two forces released so much power that it started disintegrating many of the nearby spirits.

Two of the Country Level Spirits had to release their defensive powers just to block the impact.

Even so, their collision left five kilometers big crater on the ground and disintegrated a large part of the area.

"Gulp! Are we sure we can fight this?"

John heavily swallowed and asked.

"And, here, I was hoping to bleed for my city."

Tyler chuckled as he clenched his fist and said.

"We can’t just stay here and wait. Take your opponent to the side and fight! If they try to bypass you, just let them!"

"We have a strong defense."

As long as he could hold back anyone at Fourth Rank or higher, he didn’t need to worry about them destroying the formation in a short time.

But he had to hold those spirits back.

So, without much hesitation, he dashed forward. His gaze fell on four Mountain Level Spirits.

He charged his body with a bolt of lightning as he disappeared on the spot and appeared in front of one of the spirits.

His five fingers clenched into a fist as he punched the spirit on its head. But the spirit tilted its head and dodged the punch.

And, it retaliated with its punch, attacking his guts.

Tyler felt the power of the punch that almost succeeded in destroying his skin. Facing such a weak attack, he gave a right hook.

His punch pushed back the spirit, but he also fell toward the group. Using his lightning, he sprinted to another spirit and raised his leg.

He kicked the spirit on its head, but the spirit managed to block it with its forearm.

The human-like spirit suddenly released a powerful shockwave from its mouth in his face.

Facing an attack like that at such a short time, Tyler activated his second ability without any hesitation.

[Third Skill- Shambles]

Replacing himself with a small rock, he appeared next to one of the City Level Spirits.

Originally, he didn’t plan to take care of these spirits, but when he noticed his people’s strength, he realized there was only one person who could fight these spirits.

As soon as he realized that, he raised his right hand and muttered.

[Shadow Totem]

[First Skill- Shadow Summoning]

As he used this skill, three creatures similar to his previous shadows but with different body shapes emerged.

One of them looked more like a human, while the other two had the shape of a dragon and an ant.

"Go! Fight spirits like this one!"

He said as he pointed at the spirit next to him. Then, he opened his palm as a blue flame emerged over his palm.

He condensed the flame into a fireball and shot it towards the spirit.

Boom!

As the fireball exploded, the spirit started to vanish. But it could completely vanish, he took out a scroll and unfolded it.

He released his Aura and activated the formation on the scroll. Then, it started absorbing the soul from the scroll.

Of course, those spirits wouldn’t just let him continue. Two of the Monster Level Spirits came from both sides and attacked him at the same time.

One of them released a shockwave while another released a massive palm of dark energy.

Feeling the attacks coming from both sides, he immediately jumped as high as he could.

But while in mid-air, he realized another spirit was waiting for this move. In fact, the spirit had already attacked with a fiery wave of red-hot flames.

’Damn! They planned it before.’

He desperately looked around, trying to find a piece of rock or anything that could help him teleport.

But he saw nothing except for the spirits themselves. He could wait for the collision to happen, and that would create more rocks.

There was a great limit to his teleportation.

First, he could only teleport with things he could see. Second, he could only teleport with things his Spatial Control could move at this stage.

’Since I can’t escape, then I will bring you with me!’

He stared at the spirit and raised his right palm, calling out a large silver portal.

[Spatial Control]

[Ninth Skill- Portal]

As this portal appeared, it instantly moved from top to bottom and appeared exactly below him.

Naturally, the flame was coming towards him, and he couldn’t dodge it.

But he wasn’t worried as he placed a large shield in front of him.

[Spatial Control]

[Fifth Skill- Cube]

The flame struck the barrier with an intense force, but it didn’t manage to break through.

Only for him to start sweating the very next second. Although the flame didn’t reach him, its heat still affected him.

’So, this is one of the defects of this skill. But seriously, I have almost exhausted one-fourth of my Aura by using the Three Space Skill.’

’No wonder not all powerful families try to gain Space Abilities. All and every ability can be developed with some creativity.’

’Space is not only harder to develop, but it will also exhaust the person of his Aura. And since they don’t train much, it only makes things worse.’

As he started falling, he heard a loud explosion from the ground. The explosion released a massive blast of dark energy towards him.

Bang!

The explosion struck the barrier underneath his feet, but it stopped there.

Cube was a special skill with four directional barrier.

This was exactly why he used this skill instead of a simple Barrier, even at the cost of using so much Aura.

Thud!

As the cube fell on the ground, it fell on the spirit that got shredded into pieces.

"Since your friend is done for, why not follow him in his path?"

He muttered as he extended both of his arms. The cube instantly disappeared, and two massive streams of blue flame emerged from his palms.
