Chapter 194: Luan Creates a New Attack
Amanda was genuinely surprised by what she had done, not because she had tortured Abelardo, because she thought he deserved it, but rather because she did what she did, with so much precision and even managed to skin him alive, with only a few drops of blood shed in excess. Of course, that was more or less merit for having a high level of cultivation; because of that, her hand did not tremble even when she skinned Abelardo alive.
Control of Qi had given her a lot more motor coordination than she had ever dreamed of, and somehow, she felt indifferent even in that situation. It was as if she had become cold, and insensitive, but she decided not to think about it since she thought it was simply because Abelardo was who he was.

In a more isolated part of the forest Luan stood and suddenly he drew his sword.
*Ghost cut: Cloud!*
Those words resonated in Luan’s mind when he held the sword and waved it gently in the direction of a boar.
The sword released a halo of white light that was not just made of Qi, the sword absorbed the power of the cloud and released with the White Dragon’s Negative Qi.
The white light was pure and powerful.BThe air crackled, then disappeared and appeared on the other side, through the boar, and cut many trees and stones along the way, but at the same time it cut, it seemed that it did not hit.
Only when it stopped did something supernatural happen.
*Whoosh!*
Cracking sounds and more cutting sounds came. They didn’t come at the same frequency that it cut, but they came late.
The wild boar, which was not on guard before, fell dead on the ground. It was divided in half, and trees and stones were cut along the path where a huge crack opened in the ground.
“Worthy of being called a ghost cut…” Luan murmured.
He already knew it was a powerful attack, but it became even more powerful when he mixed it with his Cloud Origin. Ownership of the cloud matched this technique a lot, which is why Luan did what he did, and the result was satisfactory.
Luan turned slowly, then walked silently past the broken trees and stones. He did not stop and continued walking until he reached the boar’s body.
‘Dead,’ Luan murmured in his mind.
Remembering that Luan went out to hunt monsters of the Second Order and that boar was one of them, needless to say that killing this boar with an attack could have been considered something worth praising. Of course, for Luan this was normal, inevitable, he did not consider this a great achievement, although he was pleased to have merged the phantom technique with the Origin of the Cloud. Compatibility with the phantom technique gave a better than expected result.
Luan dismantled the boar’s corpse, separating the bones from the meat, intending to eat the meat later. As for the bones and organs, he would make weapons and pills and potions. The blood could be used to create talismans and formation. In general, Luan was capable of attempting almost everything.

On the south side, monsters began to surround the group of Ingrid, Maira, Catharina, and Cristina. Ingrid attacked from the front, while the three stayed behind. They had worked out this formation, since Ingrid specialized in melee, while the other three were more in the long-range attack.
However, Maira was a little more versatile. With her Origin, Maira created a materialized spear. It was a spear composed of energy, and it increased and diminished at her will. It was something that Maira created in theory and put into practice. With today’s technology, it was difficult to do, perhaps even impossible, but with Qi and its Origin, Maira could handle it.
The tip of the spear was like a lightsaber. The moment she attacked with a piercing motion, she made the tip grow at her command and pierced the throat of a red imp. She made the tip of the spear that pierced the throat of the red imp explode.
*Bang!*
Along with the sound of the explosion, the head of the red imp was gone. The spear in Maira’s hand was pulled and the tip of the spear was intact as if nothing had happened. The explosion was caused by waves of light, which caused an explosive reaction, and when it finished, Maira’s Qi caused the spear to restore to intact form.
Without wasting time, she attacked upwards and made the tip of the spear grow again, and this time she pierced a red hawk with black eyes in the forehead, and with brute force she gave a 360 turn, and the hawk was cut in half.
*Boom! Booom!*
Both parts of the falcon fell to the ground.
From her smartphone, Catharina removed cloths and more cloths. It was cloth made from threads of monsters. They were much more resistant with ordinary fabrics. They then spread across the battlefield, and when a monster approached, it caused the cloth to curl around itself like a snake and the monster would soon suffocate to death.
“Cristina, you’re burning my clothing…” Catharina pouted, sadly.
Cristina’s flame attacks inevitably burned Catharina’s clothes that were scattered.
“Sorry, I will try to avoid them,” Cristina said guiltily.
“Forget it, I’ll make more later.” Catharina could not stand to see Cristina’s guilty look and showed a reassuring smile so she wouldn’t mind such small things.
Ingrid had the most vicious and deadly attacks on the battlefield. Since there was blood everywhere, she was a goddess. The moment she placed her hand on the ground, the blood from the spilled bodies turned into blood thorns and pierced all the other monsters. The monsters closest to the bodies turned into hedgehogs. Within seconds, Ingrid had killed many monsters.
By carelessness, Catharina was left alone and surrounded by flying monsters. She was in danger, but before Ingrid reacted to help, something materialized around Catharina. It was a fort, full of firearms that started shooting with submachine guns.
*Bang-Bang-Bang!*
“Thank you mother.” Catharina gave a relieved smile when she saw that all the nearby monsters had been killed by Maira.
The fort was dematerialized and Maira gave a wan smile. “Be more careful.”
“Yes, sorry, I will be more careful!” Catharina promised out loud. She looked from side to side, at the sky and at the ground, since she did not know where an enemy attack would come from.
She also took the staff and summoned the three monsters: the Zombie Baboon, the Bone Devil, and the Zombie Devil Woman. The three monsters entered the battle while eating the remains of the other monsters and got stronger.
There was still a whole hive of monsters, at least a thousand monsters surrounded them. Cristina took a step forward. Her expression was extremely calm. Then, with a simple hand movement, Ingrid punched in the direction of the horde of monsters.
Suddenly, blood came. It was like a bloodstained mirror that reflected nothing less than the fear and dread of the beholder. The blood mirror created arrows of blood and hit everything in front of it. Under the power of that punch everything turned upside down!
*Bang!*
And the horror show began. The entire face of the ground was stained with blood, and more and more blood spears appeared and attacked. The scene was extremely scary! The monsters one by one took their last breaths and fell to the ground, dead. At that moment, Maira, Catharina, and Cristina, who were behind Ingrid, stood still. They thought they were daydreaming.
Unbelievable!!
Ingrid had destroyed everything in front of her. The monsters, although they were not of the Second Order, were still very strong! Still, they were all killed by Ingrid!
“Ingrid is so strong!” Cristina was the first to come out of her stupor, followed by Maira and Catharina.
‘So this is the power of someone in the Second Order?’ Maira wondered.
She particularly had no strong desire to strengthen herself, but she still wanted to stay strong in order to protect her family, and seeing Ingrid’s current power, it was desirable – at least it was strong enough to be able to protect who she wanted to protect, mainly with her Materialization Origin. It had not been for nothing that Maira had come to research ways to create shields.
And the scene of Ingrid killing many monsters with one blow has not left her mind. Maira then set the Second Order as a goal to be at least achieved. Catharina and Cristina had similar thoughts: get stronger and be able to protect themselves and their family.
