Chapter 70
As soon as the duo made their way inside the dome-shaped shield that Addi had summoned, 'The blood-eyed Phantomling' made its move.
Its target was none other than Omis who was the first to enter its range. The monster seemed to disappear from its place before appearing in front of Omis quickly throwing an attack with its hand that now seemed to resemble a claw.
Omis was not alarmed, he calmly willed his Qi inside towards his blade effectively enhancing it before he moved it to block the attack that almost reached him.
*CLANG*
The sound of metal clash in against metal echoed throughout the shield as one Immortal and one monster clashed against each other, the sound of their shockwave akin to that of thunder itself.
The shield trembled wildly seemingly on the verge of breaking, Addi who was sitting cross-legged outside of it had his expression darken for a second before he managed to steady the shield.
"Hurry up and start master Silas, I got his attention but I'm unable to fight it full strength otherwise Addi's shield won't be able to handle it!" Shouted Omis, his eyes never leaving 'The Blood-eyed Phantomling' who's gaze now seemed to contain a hint of solemnity as he cautiously watched Omis.
Silas on the other hand crouched down next to the teleportation formation an old book suddenly appearing next to him as his hands rapidly drew numerous glowing ruins in the air.
"Now then, if you are not going to come, allow me then!" Grinned Omis as he shot forward towards the 'Phantomling'.
*CLANG*
His sword attack was once again met by the monster's claw yet that did not seem to discourage Omis as he continued pressing the 'Phantomling' to a corner not allowing him any chance to recover.
The monster, however, was not a simple one, it was an Immortal Venerable, even though it was bound to this cave, it's powers were nonetheless still considered to be at the peak of the world.
Its body suddenly turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared before instantly materializing behind Omis, his two arms seemed to glow with a dark red color as two beams of light shot towards Omis.
*BOOM*
The explosion that was enough to obliterate a mountain was contained within the shield that looked like it was going to collapse anytime soon.
As the smoke from the attack started to settle down, Omis's figure chopped through it, his sword aiming at the 'Phantomling's' one eye.
Alarmed, the monster took a step back in retreat avoiding the blow. Omis on the other hand persisted, his figure turning to a blur as he appeared above the monster sending another slash aiming at his head.
His sword seemed to cut into space itself as it clashed with the monster's hand.
*PUSHI*
The sickening noise of the metal cutting through the 'Phantomling's' arm was heard causing the monster to let out a roar of pain.
"ROAAAAARRR!"
As its arm fell on the ground it quickly turned into a puff of black smoke before evaporating, a new arm instantly regenerating in its stead.
The monster's one eye turned red with rage as he glared at Omis letting out a low growl yet not making any hasty movements.
"Haha! What? That's it? I know that Adult Phantomlings are not this weak! What is this? I'm not even using half of my power and you already losing this badly!" Mocked Omis, he knew that the monster was extremely intelligent and could understand human speech, so he planned to agitate it diverting all its attention to him so he could buy more time for Silas.
Hearing Omis's taunts the 'Phantomling's' body started shaking with rage as a dark murderous aura danced behind his back, his legs pressed harder on the ground causing cracks to appear as it prepared to launch himself towards Omis.
Seeing that the monster was going to attack him with all its power made Omis take a defensive stance with his sword pointed towards the 'Phantomling'.
*BOOOOM*
The ground exploded from the sheer force of the 'Phamtomling's' launching himself, Omis's eyes widened in shock, the target of the monster's attack was not him but Silas who was behind the monster!
"Damn it! Don't you dare you, slimy bastard!" He shouted before he turned into a blur launching himself after it.
The monster was not fast enough to reach Silas yet when he saw Omis closing in on him his eye squinted into a mocking stare as he suddenly stopped and shot his two pillars of fire at Silas.
"Shit!" Seeing that his plan had failed, Omis hurriedly called forth his small shield as it broke through space appearing out of the void in front of Silas and expending to cover him from the attack.
*BOOOM*
Another explosion rocked Addi's dome causing small cracks to appear on it, Leyla who had been feeding him her Qi was suddenly hit by a strong backlash causing her to cough blood.
Addi's body on the hand trembled like a leaf, a small line of blood falling from his lips yet his eyes remained closed in concentration as he struggled to keep the shield up.
"*Cough* *Cough*, Omis! We can't keep the shield up much longer the old bastard is pushing himself too far!" Shouted Leyla before she quickly returned to her seat behind Addi and resumed providing him with her spiritual energy.
Hearing Leyla's cry caused Omis's expression to darken, the monster, on the other hand, retreated to a corner with a smirk plastered on his face seemingly mocking Omis.
Omis watched as the 'Phantomling' calmly walked to the edge of the shield and pushed one of its fingers against it all the while staring at Omis with a terrifying grin.
Seeing what it was doing caused Omis's eyes to widen in shock, he knew that the monster was intelligent, yet he failed to take into consideration what would happen should it decide to go after the shield itself, it must have understood that they couldn't fight it without the shield so the monster now calmly ran his claw at the dome causing more cracks to appear.
"Oh, you sneaky bastard! That's it!" Taking a deep breath, Omis calmed his mind before tapping towards his dimensional storage four flying swords flew out at incredible speeds towards ’The Phantomling’ causing it to open it's eyes wide in shock.
Hurriedly drawing a complicated pattern with his hands Omis shouted.
'Immortal killing swords!'
The swords were too fast for the monster to completely defend itself, it barely managed to defend against two before the remaining ones took both of his legs making him collapse to the ground.
Not giving it any time to recover, Omis quickly appeared above it, sending an incredibly fast thrust to the monster’s one eye.
”ARGHHHHH!!!!” An inhuman howl escaped the ’Phantomling’s’ throat as Omis pushed the pommel downwards driving the blade even deeper into the monster’s head with an extremely cold gaze as he pushed his Qi into it’s body letting it wreck havoc before cutting the screams short.
