I ducked down instinctively, but since nothing ca flying my way, I decided to have a look for a tiny bit longer. Enough to realize that they all were focused on the tower itself, and had no idea I was down there.
Why? Well, now I know the reason, but back then I had no idea.
Since they weren't doing anything I was unsure if I should get closer. The numbers were on their side, not to ntion the fact they were actually in the city, which ant that they were stronger than what I encountered before.
I wasn't sure if I should try to fight them.
"Maybe they were the ones who pushed Ixa away?", I asked myself.
Despite the worry, I had to make a decision. Either turn around to co back later, stronger, or go there and try my luck. I knew that I was powerful, the question was if I was powerful enough. The worries wouldn't leave my mind, but I wasn't really worrying about myself. I was worrying about the Arc.
Then I realized if they actually were the ones who pushed Ixa away, they didn't go to chase after her. They decided to probably return and stare at the damn tower. This ant I didn't have to be worried that they would go out there, eventually finding the city I cared about. I could just attack them.
This lit the fire that haven't been burning inside of for a very long ti. I got excited. I was once again about to dance on the edge of the sword, between life and death. I almost forgot the feeling. It gave the kick I needed to get.
So I activated all my skills, turning the vicinity into a dark place filled with food essence, enclosed by the tall walls of raging darkness, and jumped up. Since my eardrums regenerated by that point, they almost imdiately got blown up again, so I got deaf.
This got all the attention I could ask for, and, unfortunately, more.
As the ghosts, all at once turned around, all the rubble around also started flying, picked up by telekinetic powers, probably multiple ones.
So had strange weaponry spawn around them out of nowhere. I noticed a few massive broad swords, taller than . Bunch of spiked balls of steel able to easily crush a house, and other weird shapes.
Others just shoot lasers at . White from the pure hot energy, lting the rubble which happened to be between them and .
A few lightning added themselves to the mix.
It was a fraction of a second when it all happened at once. I responded too, shadow walking forward like a madman, trying to close the distance while avoiding as many attacks as I could. Despite my best efforts, I got hit by a few, but my barrier endured.
I got close to one of the, then just swung my pudao hoping for the best, but the attack got blocked by the barrier he was protecting himself with. The sheer power of impact pushed other attacks away from , shoving the nearby ghosts further too.
Since my attack didn't work I imdiately repositioned to hit the target from a different angle, this ti dipping into the 'Indomitable'. It was twice as hard, so it broke through, but he then used a very strong telekinetic push to stop my blade. Just the wind it pushed was enough to send him flying. He smashed into the ground below, while I got struck by multiple other attacks.
All the rubble was flying my way, so it beca hard to even move with so much stuff in the air. I had to shadow walked a lot. There was no way I could localize the ones responsible for maneuvering the rubble, so I just tried to get to the closest one.
I tried to get him with a powerful slash, but he was actually faster and slamd the spiked ball into before I could properly swing. My barrier endured the attack, but I still got pushed away, not to ntion the fact that my hand was practically blocked. I shadow walked to stick to him, and instead punched him with my free hand.
He exploded like a bug that hit the windshield of a race car as it goes at its max speed.
Then I got blasted too, by all the shit which went flying my way. I was overwheld, even with shadow walking. I attempted to jump through the rubble with that damn skill but only found myself in the middle of more marble and gold.
It was just tons upon tons upon tons of garbage. So much that you couldn't pass through. I had no other way but to get away, so I jumped all the way to the marked spot close to Aaraam'soturi.
- Fuck! - I yelled out of anger, before launching myself back at the city.
I passed the do surrounding it, finding myself among the gold and marble once again. Fortunately, it was laying on the ground as it was supposed to be. Well... At least for a second or maybe two, because it started to be picked up again. I didn't see the ghosts, though, but they definitely were moving toward .
I went to et them halfway, jumping from a piece of stone to a piece of stone. Decimating each one I pushed myself away from, and also all the stuff in the imdiate vicinity.
Half a second later I could see the black dot's on the horizon. Well... They didn't stay black for too long. They actually started changing color, as they also started attacking.
So went white, so red, and so blue. A few stayed the sa.
What's more important, armageddon restarted. I could either try to get to them before they got to , or escape. I chose the first option, charging at full speed. Using every trick I had to go faster, to collide with them before they could shoot down.
