Weapon Cultivation History (6)

Hearing the order of the Grand Elder, we resumed our attacks on the survivors. The original 1.000.000 has been reduced to around 200.000. They still surpass us in numbers but thanks to our cultivation and strength we had been able to fight until now despite our casualties. However, they don´t have a powerful stamina like us, so it would be a matter of time before we killed them all.

We offered them to surrender but none accepted. Instead, they fought with determination until the last of them.

As we were pushing them back, the reinforcements from the ships landed and formed up. In the meanwhile, the small group that came from the other side of the battlefield, started to form up and wait for instructions.

In the moment we were about to exterminate them, the second army, that came from the ships, started their attacks on us. They´re numbers were around 100.000, but they were hard to fight back.

They had a special armor that could withstand our attacks, their strength was almost on par with ours and some of them seemed to cultivate a strange technique because many of us started to scream in pain and grab their heads. It seemed that our enemies could attack our minds, later I´ll come to know that they attacked our spirits.

However, we were still capable of fighting them. We started to kill them, but the price was a heavy one as it took one of us to barely kill 4 of them. If you are thinking that how it was that just "barely", let me tell you that with our previous enemies it only took one of us to kill 10.

The hours passed and the carnage continues. Cries of pain can be heard, blood is flowing endlessly, high mountains of corpses rise, viscera´s are spread everywhere and the air stinks with blood and smoke.

At this moment we are left with around 20.000 members, of their first army remains only around 30.000, the reinforcements that came from the ships have left around 24.000 people and those 200 fighters haven´t joined the fight.

This is a total carnage and the balance is starting to bow in our favor.

It was in that moment that a light surrounded the battlefield. The next moment something terrible happen. The enemies that had been wounded started to heal quickly and to recover their strength.

Some of the 200 fighters rushed towards us with an astonishing speed and attacked us. At first, their attacks were simple, but then strange abilities started to appear while fighting. Some could deflect our attacks or withstand them without effort, others could use their weapons with magic and cause greater damage and even kill as some of us died. Their range attacks were also stronger and even on the same level as our awakened abilities.

Soon, the fight started to turn around and we were the ones been forced to retreat. Yet we still resisted the new enemies. However, in the moment we thought we will be able to resist, the enemy strength increased to a new level. Our Patriarch seeing this roared:

"Everyone!!! Release the seal!!

Shocked, we looked to each other for a moment before heeding the Patriarch´s words.

What is the seal? Well you know that our cultivation technique allows us to specialize on a weapon and gain addition strength, right? And that many of us have reached a high level of cultivation. Yet, in order to gain a hidden card for cases of extreme emergency, our race was able to modify the original technique and add a seal that allows us to save some of our energy each month in a different core. But there is a risk by doing this, and it is that there is the possibility that the saved energy turns wild as it is not flowing through our body. However, we were able to solve this by sealing the core with a powerful seal. And we could only release the seal after receiving the Patriarch authorization.

Now that we have removed the seal, the air around us started to change as a powerful pressure descended. This means that our true strength is now been released.

"What is the meaning of this?!?!"

"There was no report about it!!"

"Those three prisoners didn´t said or show anything about this!!!"

Our enemies where shocked. Thanks to our released strength we were able to change once again the balance of the battle.

As we were fighting back, some of the fighters appeared in front of us and released a strength equal to the ones that us the elders possessed.

"Don´t get too cocky you monsters!!"

"Yeah, we can also fight you!!

Soon we realize that they also have released a kind of seal or technique in order to fight us. As the fight continued, many of ours started to die while taking some of them.

"How is it possible?!?!" "It was supposed that our new techniques were going to allow us to kill them all quickly" they said shocked.

"Aghhh!! These monsters are still resisting!!"

"We´re the ones that are been pushed back!!"

"Stay your ground!! They have been fighting for all day and soon those 9 will arrive"

"It´s true? Are they going to come?"

"Yes, I received a notification before setting out. But they will take some time as they were still on the final training phase"

Being attacked with more determination from our enemies we could only fall back slowly. Seeing our retreat, the enemies advanced with little care. Yet, once again our Patriarch roared: "Elders release the second seal!!". This second seal is similar to the first one as it increases our strength but only for some time. And also, is only known to the Patriarch, Matriarch, Grand-Elders and elders because it is more dangerous than the previous one and requires a higher level of cultivation and the price for practicing it is that each time we release the seal, our lifeforce is reduced.

This time the strength of us, the race leaders and protectors, rose up. Now that our true strength was released, we started to kill with ease our enemies. Soon the battle once again turned into a slaughter.

"Aghhh!!!"

"It can´t be!!!How are they so powerful!!!"

"Monsters, absolutely monsters!!!"

I can´t blame they. We are taller than them, our women can fight at the same level as men, we possess a monstrous strength and cultivation technique. All of us are capable of releasing a first seal that reveals our true strength and cultivation, and some of us as can release a second seal that allows us to receive a burst for some time. It seemed we defied the common sense of the people in this continent.

Their stronger fighters struggled against us, while the rest of our race were killing the remnants of their armies.

By now there are only left 1.000 of the first army, 9.000 from the second one and 120 of the 200 fighters. On the other hand, we still have 12.000 members.

Now we are the ones that are surrounding their forces.

Night have fallen yet the battle continues. We don´t have issues fighting in the dark as our eyes can see through it and also because there are big fires across the battlefield.

As we were fighting, nine pillars of light descend in front of their army, that have grouped.

"They are here!!!"

"Finaly!!!"

"Thanks to the gods!!!"

From those pillars of light emerged nine figures. I could feel that they are really powerful from just glancing at them. My blood is boiling and telling me to be careful.

"Seems we arrive just in time"

"Yeah, one more hour at it would have been late"

"Look at the number of dead bodies"

"Yike, it gives me a bad taste"

"…."

"Seems that they are really powerful"

"Of course, who do you think has caused all this entire situation?"

"Be alert, there are some that are at the same level of us"

"Looks that I´ll have to save a lot of people…Viren, I hope you can help me later"

Those were the words they said first after inspecting the battlefield.

And their arrival was the third and final change that will affect our fate.
