BXBX NOVEL Chapter 88 And They Don’t Stop Coming
Shaman coated her sword in ice as it seemed to be the most effective element against the Terikin.
A few Terikin locked onto her, letting out small screeches and their ghostly jaws hanging, looking like they were barely holding on. The body itself looked like it was slime as at the ends of the body bits of the mist was hanging. A light cloud also could be seen underneath them which was a possible reason why they are able to float.
Shaman wanted to get rid of them quickly as there were too many to worry about and she had to make sure she was doing her job.
She dragged her sword along the ground making the ice spread along the floor, She had also activated her domain for the extra power boost. The Terikin had floated over the Ice and began to stretch out in order to grab Shaman. But before they could reach Shaman the ice started to form an ice spike and shot up straight into their cores killing them.
The mist slowly fell to the ground and disappeared.
\'That was cool but I will say it did use a bit of mana.\' Shaman had also gotten a system notification.
[Would you like to make all your ice skills into free form]
[Yes/No]
Shaman was a little confused but it did not seem like a bad idea so she said yes without thinking about it for too long as more Terikin were incoming.
[Ice spear and Wall are now gone]
[Creating new skill]
[Ice free form]
[allows the user to freely manipulate any ice under its control, user can create weapons and objects and the more mana is used the stronger the ice will be]
Shaman was confused when she saw this message as she could already do what it described.
\'Fuck I don\'t have time to being thinking about this.\' Shaman had many questions but she needed to get back to killing some Terikin.
Another wave of them came but this time there were 8 of them attacking at once.
"Well isn\'t this unfair, why would you gang up on cute little me, Fight someone your own size." Shaman employed the same tactic but was a lot more aggressive. Shaman swung her katana across the ground and the ice approached the Terikin at a fast pace. The ice on the floor started to come up and started to freeze them.
The Terikin tried to move out of the way but they were unable to dodge as the ice caught their floating legs and slowly froze them all over.
Shaman stared blankly at what she just did as she did not put much power into it and little mana but was able to freeze all 8 Terikin in a few seconds with just one swing.
[Level up! you are now level 68]
[You still have 440 unused attribute points]
[Ice upgraded to tier 3]
\'Wait since when did i get to level 68 and also i did not tell my ice to do that.\' The questions were piling on top of each other and Shaman was getting more confused.
\'Shit.\' Shaman again was under pressure as Terikin started to rush past her heading straight for Elysia.
\'This is why I need to switch on and just fight, think about it later.\' Shaman conjured up ice spears and sent them towards the few Terikin that got past her. They were killed and the core skewered by the spear fell to the floor.
Shaman turned back and when she did more Terikin had come from the ground.
\'Will they ever stop coming?\' Shaman was now under the suspicion that this was going to be a much longer fight than anticipated.
The Terikin all charged in her direction in a group making it at least 20 in a bundle.
\'Let\'s try an AOE skill.\' Shaman had an idea in mind on how she could use her ice and was going to give it a try.
Shaman dashed forward so that she was far enough away to not disrupt Elysia or Wolfy.
Shaman created a pillar of ice allowing her to jump from a greater height, she aimed for the middle of the pack of Terikin that were rushing in her direction.
They were grabbing each other groaning like zombies while their bodies moved around like they were melting. It was a rather disturbing sight as it seemed like they were crying out for help. Nonetheless Shaman did not care for them and were just monsters to her.
Shaman landed in the middle of the small horde stabbing her sword into the ground. She killed one Terikin with the landing which allowed her to stab her sword into the ground.
Once Kotetsu was in the ground, ice rapidly came from the ground. A small flat bit was made in the middle for Shaman while ice spikes of different sizes shot out trapping and killing all the Terikin that were in the horde.
[Level up! - 69]
Level up! - 70]
Shaman knelt on the ground as she tried her best to hold her excitement.
\'That was so FUCKING COOL.\' Shaman felt like she was really living her fantasy and could not help how amazing it felt to kill a bunch of monsters with one move.
Shaman stood up and used her fire to quickly begin to melt the ice, some Terikin were alive but due to them still being in the ice Shaman was able to send spikes from the floor to the ground.
\'Phew that was fun let\'s check on my mana.\'
[2800/3400]
\'Wow! There is still so much left.\' Shaman was surprised as usually it takes a lot of mana to create ice but she guessed it had to do with the Ice free form skill.
\'I guess it allows me to optimize my output and now that I think about it, my ice feels so much easier to control.\' Shaman quickly created something and it felt like second nature to her.
\'Maybe because I use my ice to create so many different things the system decided to make it easier for me.\' Shaman was not complaining as Ice was becoming her favourite element to use.
Unfortunately however more groans and screams could be heard.
\'There is still more?\' Shaman was wondering if there will ever be an end as it seems like they wont stop coming.
\'Oh well this is a perfect opportunity to practice, so I should be grateful.\' Shaman shook her head and gripped Kotetsu with both her hands.
\'Let\'s see if I can get my other Elements to tier up.\' Shaman wanted to get her water element up as it was the lowest with it still being at tier 1.
Shaman switched to water with Kotetsu and the Blade shone with a blue light and with a few strands of Shaman\'s hair turning blue.
The Terikin appeared again but this time in less numbers but it could still be seen in the distance more coming from the ground.
\'Let\'s deal with you before it gets too overwhelming.\' Shaman uses [Tidal wave] creating a massive wave. She sent it off in the direction of the Terikin and due to her still having control over the wave she was able to increase the pressure of the water, so when a Terikin was consumed by the water their cores would be crushed.
Shaman had only sent one as it would have been boring for her to just keep sending waves and crushing their cores so she waited for them to close. Shaman could see one final group coming and no signs of more coming out of the ground.
\'Looks like this may be the last of the batch.\' Shaman looked at the group 15 Terikin that were left.
Shaman had decided on what to do so she dashed towards the small group and began her attack.
Shaman conjured up some water and created a wave wall around the Terikin allowing for no escape.
Shaman then slashed the air upwards which made the water ring tighten. The Terikin were now in the water struggling to move as the slime-like mist made it hard for them to move.
With the Terikin now trapped, Shaman quickly used [Slicing tornado] to create a water tornado. With the combined water stopping them from moving the tornado was able to break their cores killing the remaining 15.
Screams could be heard from the group of Terikin as they each started to die as blades of the tornado hit their cores.
"HEeelLLPppP." A cry of help could be heard which made Shaman turn around.
\'Why the hell do they have to make the monsters so human and turn this into some sick plot that uses innocent souls to create the monster.\' Shaman got chills as the wild possibility ran through her head from the cry for help since it sounded human but also a little distorted.
\'Anyway let\'s check up on the other 2 as it seems like they are about to finish their fights.\' Shaman had gotten far from the others but she could see that they were just finishing their fights as well.
