Chapter 332: The Nefarious Ancient beings
Boom!
The moment the Glass Wraith came close enough for her to kill it, she released the arrow from her bow. The fire arrow left a trail of blaze of fire in the air staring from Gaya’s bow to the beast’s location. The arrow hit its target creating an explosion.
She infused the arrow with her cultivation power to obliterate the Glass Wraith. The Beast’s body shattered instantly because of the impact, it turned into pieces of crystals and scarred across the place.
“humph, so weak!”
Ayag was laughing out loudly seeing how easily the arrow killed the beast. However, before she could finish having a laugh, her eyes went wide in shock. The three heads could see the broken crystal pieces assembling back to normal in an instant, making the Glass Wraith whole again.
Roar!
“Here’s a lesson for you Ayag, never laugh too soon” Unlike Vedora, Gaya knew this would happen. To kill a Glass Wraith, one had to exhaust all the energy in its soul which meant she had to kill the beast again and again until it could not resurrect again.
The Glass Wraith was extremely angry. It roared out in fury as it dashed towards Vedora once again. This Glass Wraith was a rare and unique life form, it didn’t possess any kind of innate ability to cast spells, it only relied on its body’s strength. It could rip anything apart. Besides, the bright light that shot out from its body could cause devastating damage. Anyone who got hit by it would either die or suffer severe injuries.
“What are you waiting for? Kill it!”
Vedora felt somewhat depressed, even humiliated when the Glass Wraith resurrected.
In a blink of an eye, Gaya fired another fire arrow at the beast. Just like before, the shattered Glass Wraith was restored back to its original shape, which looked and felt exactly like it did before.
“What the fuck?”
Ayag’s fury ignited. She felt like she herself was fighting the Glass Wraith.
“Calm down, we need to kill the Glass Wraith again and again until it has no energy left in its soul to resurrect itself” As she said, she fired another arrow before the GLass Wraith could leap towards her.
Yet again it shattered into crystal pieces before assembling its whole body again.
“What an abnormal monster. Only we had this ability” Ayag’s eyes sparkled,
“Who would be able to kill us?” Ayag wondered.
“Stop daydreaming” After all the time they spent with Gaya, Ayag was used to getting flicked on the head. So when Gaya flicked her this time, she just ignored instead of bickering.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Gaya fired a fire arrow one after another shattering the Glass Wraith again and again. After being killed several times, the Glass Wraith’s energy in the monster core reached a critical point. Realizing the threat of imminent death, the beast immediately turned around, fleeing with extreme speed.
Since it was a Core Formation level beast, it possessed basic intelligence, hence, it finally understood how powerful its opponent was. If it continued fighting, it would get itself killed here.
“It’s running away, ha we got that bastard”
It didn’t take a genius to figure out why the Glass Wraith was running away. Because its resurrection caused some slight humiliation to Ayag, she wanted nothing more than seeing the Glass Wraith shatter into pieces and not getting resurrected again.
Gaya was not in a hurry to kill the Glass Wraith. She let it run for a few more seconds before firing the arrow. The blazing arrow soared through the air aiming at the Glass Wraith’s back. Just as before, the arrow made the body explode but this time, the shattered pieces stayed as it is.
Buzz…
Followed by a buzzing sound, the broken crystal pieces which were shattered around the place formed into a fist-sized crystal ball that floated in the middle of the air.
“Is that the Glass Wraith’s monster core?”
“This is something good,” Vedora noticed a curious look emerging on Gaya’s face.
Gaya had quick hands. In an instant, she grabbed the crystal ball with her hand, then she said, “wow, this contains pure Arch energy and even a sliver of Celestial energy within”
“Didn’t you say the monster cores of the beasts here contain impure energies? What makes this one different?” Ayag asked.
“No one can absorb the monster cores found in the beasts here without purifying them first, but this one is different. According to Ancient Beings, the Glass Wraith is born from nature after having absorbed pure Arch energy. As I said before, not only does this core contain huge amounts of pure Arch energy, it also contains a sliver of Celestial energy which means any cultivator can absorb it directly”
“So are you gonna absorb the energies?”
Gaya shook her head, “it’d do little to no good to me. Because the core is from a Core Formation level 2 beast, I’m way stronger than the beast. No use in absorbing anything that’s not stronger than you. However”
“If we can bring it out from here, we can sell it for a fortune” She grinned, tossing the crystal a couple of times in the air and catching the core.
“Cores like this can be only found in places like this. Out there, it’s extremely hard to get a core from a beast above Body Strengthening stage”
“So that’s why there are so many people who are risking their lives in places such Nether Realm” Sarba had a look of realization on his face as Cain opened his mouth,
“Plus, they also get battle experience”
“Alright, I’m sure there are a lot of Glass Wraith’s here, oh boy, we’re gonna be rich!” A bright smile appeared on Ayag’s face. Although Gaya knew she could make a small fortune auctioning the cores, getting the crystal cores was no easy task.
“Only idiots venture into ancient places looking to make money. Let’s imagine If someone bumps into a Glass Wraith which is at the same level as he or she, they are fucked. Even if they were one level higher than the beast, they’ll be still fucked. Instead of one getting the beast’s core, it will get the flesh and blood of an idiot”
Gaya was not here to make money, if it was, she could have stayed with Ghost and made millions through the Majestic and Hades. Her goal was to find the five-headed serpent. Absorbing its soul would start her metamorphosis.
According to Nagaland’s history, only Gaya’s mother managed to slain one and absorb its soul. It was the reason for her mother’s terrifying power but the power came at a cost. During the fight, Gaya’s mother was wounded by the five-headed serpent, its poison slowly spread through her body, reducing her life little by little. If only her mother knew Ghost before, he could have saved her.
“Look at the bright side, we are not idiots who are looking to make money but since we are here, it doesn’t hurt to make a fortune,” Ayag said with a grin on her face.
“Alright, let’s resume our journey. I suppose this place is only the outer perimeter, so let’s move out from this abyss and start going towards the depths of the realm. It’s better if we could bump into some edible thing. I’m starving”
“Me too” Sarba agreed with Ayag as Gaya continued to walk towards the realm’s center.
She leaped forwards, starting to fly in a straight line away from the abyss. In front of them, there was a grayish desolated area with rocks scarred all over the place. There were also some thick woods, and some strange plants growing within.
After flying for almost fifteen minutes, Ayag’s eyes lit up,
“Hey are you sensing what I’m sensing?”
“Yes. I can also sense the same energy I sensed in the Glass Wraith” Sarba said
“This is nothing to be excited about. Foul monsters are everywhere and we need to be extra careful”
Cain tried to remind them that the Fire Demon and the Glass Wraith were just some appetizers, the real dangers of the realm might be ahead of them.
“Shut up Cain, you’re worse than this one” Ayag hit Sarba with her head,
“No matter what kind of beasts come, they will flee getting their asses kicked. Hey Gaya, just be ready with your bow” Ayag became narcissistic again.
Caw~
Just as Ayag finished showing her narcissistic grin, a huge object suddenly got in their way. It was a monstrous three-headed raven. The raven was almost 5 meters tall while fully covered with black feathers.
Coupled with its three heads and humongous size, it could easily scare someone with its looks alone.
“You just had to open your mouth,” Cain sighed.
Swoosh…
Gaya saw a black fog kept rising from the Black raven’s body. It was neither dark nor ominous as the smoke that would envelop Ghost when he’s in his full Dark Lord persona. Before Gaya could back away from the raven’s path, it locked on his gaze at them. The pair of evil eyes stared at Gaya and Vedora, it had decided them to be its prey.
“Damn it, what kind of monster is this one? We’ve only been here for a short time, and we have already bumped into three ugliest things in the world!”
Ayag gritted her teeth in anger. She wasn’t scared of the raven at all. Although it was stronger than the fire demon and the Glass Wraith they previously fought, it was still a Core Formation level 4 beast. She knew the raven was not a match for Gaya.
However, what pissed her off was that this raven had appeared right after she boasted. This gave the other two heads a reason to mock her when the time came.
