Chapter 341 - Battle at the Moon Tower: Yujin vs. Ryo and Gyun
The ball of energy expanded and it only stopped until it has the same size as her. It was thumping like a heart of a living creature. Afterward, the energy changed its form. It compressed and undergo a huge change.
Information about her species poured into her mind. Her bloodline awakened and it gives her information.
The universal language of the monster that used the unique power of monsters was pouring into her mind. With this, she will be able to converse properly with her master.
It was now that she realized that she was evolving as various evolution paths came into her mind. Her body instinctively chooses the greatest and rarest among the paths that were available to her.
She already consumed all the ingredients for this path that she received from the destruction queen. Her body just needed to reach its limit, the highest of the second evolution, and she will be able to evolve.
Aside from the changes in her inner consciousness, her body too was undergoing a huge change.
Her fur was turning redder and her forehead was emitting a light and an orb slowly formed on it. She was oozing out a huge wave of energy. The energy was mana but it slowly turned heavier and wilder.
Boom!
Yujin, Gyun, and Ryo stopped moving as they felt it.
"This...?"
Yujin turned his head and looked behind him with wide eyes. He was shocked and Alophy who was inside his body has the same expression as him. Both of them were amazed by the energy Yuko was releasing.
'Jin... She's...' Alophy muttered.
'I know... There's no doubt about it. She's in the middle of it...' Yujin replied to her.
"This monster...!! The monster is evolving...!!" Gyun too realized what was happening. He regained his senses and shouted, "Ryo!! We need to stop its evolution!!"
"I know!!" Ryo nodded as he dashed forward while Gyun threw a punch at Yujin.
"I will not let you!"
Yujin jumped away as he waved his sword and casted [Lightning Bolt] spell at Ryo.
Ryo stopped and shifted his body to avoid the spell. He expected that Yujin would stop him at all cost.
"I will try to stop this guy. Gyun disrupt the evolution." He shouted at Gyun. As soon as he said that, he quickly launched himself at Yujin.
Yujin gritted his teeth as he swung his swords.
Clang! Clang!
He glanced at the giant golem and saw it walking towards Yuko. Ryo used this chance to strike him.
Swoosh!
A huge cut appeared on his c.h.e.s.t and blood spurted out of it.
"Don't get distracted if you don't want to die!" Ryo shouted as he once again slashed his sword.
"Tsk!" Yujin clicked his tongue in annoyance as he lifted his sword and blocked the attack. At this rate, the golem would disrupt Yuko's evolution.
'Alophy, let's use [Spirit Breaker]...' Yujin said to Alophy.
'But you haven't mastered this technique yet! There's a huge drawback in using this technique without mastering it.' Alophy said to him.
'It doesn't matter. At this rate, the golem would stop Yuko's evolution. If that happened she will forever stock at second evolution without a chance to reach third evolution.' Yujin replied to her while defending against Ryo reckless attacks.
He couldn't break free from Ryo. It was hard as his opponent was a legitimate A-rank powerhouse.
'But...' Alophy wanted to say something but Yujin cut her words.
'I said it doesn't matter... The drawback of that technique couldn't be compared to the drawback of stopping the evolution.' Yujin said.
'Okay, okay, you don't need to get angry at me, Jin.' Alophy nodded her head.
'Good, let's use it.' Yujin said as he jumped in the air and activated his technique.
[Secret Spirit Technique: Spirit Breaker]!!
"What the hell is this?!" Ryo cursed as he squinted his eyes.
Yujin's body emitted a bright white light. The light contained an enormous spirit power and finally, Ryo felt danger coming from the gentle nature of spirit power.
The reversal of the spirit power. The technique that the spirit contractor invented to fight high-level opponents in the ancient war in the past, the [Spirit Breaker].
After a few moments, the light disappeared and it revealed Yujin floating in the mid-air.
"Damn!! Just what the hell is this power!!" Ryo cursed as his instinct was telling him to avoid fighting this guy.
Yujin's appearance has changed. Half of his hair has turned into white color and one of his eyes too turned into green color. His left ear turned into that of an elf. A pointed ear.
His long hair was fluttering as he had one wing of spirit on his back. His left arm was clad in greenish spirit power. It was so dense that it looked like armor.
There was a reason why people hunted down the spirit in the past. Most of the powerhouses in the past vying for the power of the spirits that drove them deep inside the Dark Forest.
'Three minutes, Jin! You can only maintain this form for three minutes!' Alophy said to him.
'It's enough for me.' He said as he flew towards the golem.
"Gyun, he's coming at you!!" Ryo shouted as he warned his comrade.
Gyun slowly turned around the head of the golem but he found that Yujin was already in front of him.
"F.u.c.k!!"
The golem raised its fist and threw it at Yujin.
Yujin snorted as he swung his sword vertically. A huge energy blade shot out and landed on the fist of the golem.
Boom!
It caused a huge explosion and the golem was pushed away. Debris of rocks fell from the hand of the golem.
"This power..." Gyun was shocked to find that Yujin possessed this much power.
"From here, no one would be able to touch Yuko." Yujin slowly said as he looked at Ryo and the golem.
Gyun and Ryo had a grave expression as they observed the man in front of them. The one who was protecting the monster who was in the middle of evolution.
Ryo tightened his grip on his swords as he slightly bent his knees and charged his mana on it. He was preparing to launch a powerful attack.
"I'll destroy you!!"
Gyun roared as spikes formed around the fist of the golem. He raised it in the air and swung it downward at Yujin.
He couldn't take it anymore. Ryo was charging an attack so he had to attack first. It was to distract this man and to divert his attention to him.
Since Yuko was just behind, Yujin didn't have a choice but to block every attack of the two executives.
His sword looked like it grew longer but in fact, it's just an extension. The spirit power became a blade and his swords were its foundation.
He swung it and his attack collided with the golem's attack. It caused a powerful gust of wind to swept out in the surrounding area.
Boom!
Ryo launched him towards Yujin at a very high speed. It was so fast that he arrived two-meter away from his target in an instant.
[Silencing Strike]!!
Yujin reacted quickly by raising his sword on his side and creating a shield-like spirit power.
Boom!
He used it to block Ryo's powerful attack but the golem didn't let this chance pass by. The golem instantly threw a punch at him while he was busy blocking Ryo's attack.
Boom!!
A huge explosion occurred as smoke and dust spread in the area. The ground formed a spider web crack and it slowly spread throughout the entire floor.
Despite the smoke blocking their vision, Yujin didn't stop at all. He charged towards the two executives with an intent to defeat them.
Ryo and Gyun didn't back down. They didn't feel ashamed fighting one on two. Instead, they felt that it was the best way to defeat Yujin. They could feel that they were going down if they fought Yujin alone in this form that's why they had to work together.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two executives clashed with Yujin. The body of the golem was slowly crumbling as cracks were all over its body. While Ryo was full of cuts all over his body. His figure was bloody and blood kept pouring out of his wounds nonstop.
Although they were injured, they also felt that their opponent was getting weak every second. He wasn't as strong as the first time he showed this form.
'Jin!!' Alophy shouted with a worried expression. Her eyes were getting wet and her lips were trembling.
'Don't worry about me, I still have a few more seconds.' Yujin replied to her as he spat a mouthful of blood. He continued to exchange blows with the two executives.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Huff... Huff..."
Yujin was breathing heavily as the spirit power on his body dispersed. He looked exhausted and tired.
"Ugh!"
He fell on his knees as blood poured out of his mouth. He overworked his body and his spirit power so he wouldn't be able to use it for a long time.
"Damn! I don't think that I will use this technique here! I don't think that I can fight again today!"
His mouth curved upward as he looked at the two executives in front of him. He didn't manage to defeat one of them even after using the [Spirit Breaker] technique. But he succeeded in wearing them out.
Well, he already finished his role. He did his best. It's time for his comrade to stepped in and finish this battle.
ROARRRRR!!!
A loud roar echoed behind him and it shook the entire floor. Flames appeared on the ground and it spread out. The atmosphere changed as heavy energy flooded the whole room. It turned chilly and suffocating.
