(Chapter 47)

'Darling! - !!!'

Yang Manli overcomes her fear, but only for her eyes to widen again after realizing that her body is still in a fear state.

She tries to take back her body in her control from the fear.

'Move! Move!!! MOVE!!!'

But she is unsuccessful, her mind is still in fear but it's only mild now.

And so, she recalls the wings and she started to fall from the sky.

She tried any kind of way that she can think of to make her body wake up from fear but she failed again and again.

Now, she is free-falling from such height, and the fear in her mind starts to get stronger again but she bits her lips and summoned the last thing in her arsenal and made her body back to the incorporeal state.

This time, she felt her body was plunged into cold water and the shivering from fear is gone.

She blinks and sighed in relief and spread her wings to stop her body from falling, and willed her body out of the incorporeal state before summoning the Beast Soul Bow and Arrow.

But the moment she pulled the string to aim at the creature.

Her body starts to tremble again, she can't aim well, or else she might hit the two men from the missed arrow that she will fire if she continues instead.

So, she decided to fly and circling them while attempting to pull the string every thirty seconds after she shakes her hands, wrists, and arms.

'... This won't do! My body is calming down but I need to make my aim stable as much as possible... Ahh! Fuck! Goddammit!'

She is frustrated with herself while tears are dripping from her eyes.

While on the ground.

Han Sen dodges by swinging his body with the whips, recalls it, twists his body, shapeshift to Bloody Slayer, and used his inertia do deal a heavy punch to the scale and it dents.

He recalls the Bloody Slayer in haste and switch with the whips before swinging away from the creature while trying to make it follows him to the center of the Reflecting Woods, before saying his concerns with irritation in his voice.

"What's wrong with your girl, brother Shyr?..."

Shyrveen can feel Han Sen's frustration because Han Sen is thinking that this will be easier if Yang Manli is supporting them from the sky.

Shyrveen looks up to where is Yang Manli and saw her trying to pull the string and recalls it each time while following them as she flies to maintain her distance from the creature's tail.

"... She's in a fear state, don't be irritated... If I'm not wrong... You were from the underwater cave too..."

Shyrveen stated while thinking something.

Which made Han Sen scratch his head and calm down his feeling.

"... Yeah... I'm sorry... If we compared my feelings back then and her feelings now... Are really different..."

"... Don't worry, I can understand, and she's frustrated to herself too..."

Then Shyrveen finally decided to risk it and said to Han Sen.

"Buy me time..."

"Alright! There's your girl now too."

Han Sen nodded after seeing Yang Manli finally fires an arrow that aimed at the right eye of the creature.

Before he dodges the incoming tail again, but he was still grazed by it because it is still too fast for him and he cursed after seeing the damage on the (4 Stars) armor.

'Shit! This is the 5th dent... There are some very small cracks too... Ugh! Thinking about my beloved golden armor... I'm sure I already perished a long time ago from one hit...'

Shyrveen flew after receiving a nod from Han Sen and make his way to Yang Manli.

"Are you okay now?"

Yang Manli wipes the tears on her cheeks and nodded, she can't meet the eyes of Shyveen while still feeling frustrated.

"Yeah, I'm so sorry, darling..."

"It's fine."

But only to receives pat and she looks up to see Shyrveen's face and heard him assuring her.

"Help brother Sen to buy me time, sweety."

"Got it, darling... I'll try my best."

After seeing the determination at Yang Manli's eyes, Shyrveen flew again above the clouds and created a small platform and crossed his legs as he took a seat.

He summoned the two ents and thought and started the process.

'... Since I'm only merging the two Sacred-Bloods... This shouldn't be that painful...'

Below the sky.

Han Sen can be heard saying after he made a very big full swing to propel himself near Yang Manli's location.

"... I was mad because you were just like up there flying and watching us die, but brother Shyr made me remember that I felt that fear too from encountering the dead one..."

"..."

That made Yang Manli feel guilty again but she grabs Han Sen and dodge the creature that sprung up using its body to its advantages to jump.

While Yang Manli is maneuvering in the air to dodge from being hit from the whips of the tail of the creature on the air while falling.

Han Sen decided to continue and speak up as he stares at the creature.

"... But what we saw there was like a baby if compared to this one. So you can say too that my fear at that time was so small compared to yours..."

"... I see..."

"Don't feel too bad about it, if brother Shyr wasn't with me that time, or I'm all alone exploring the underwater cave of Ethereal Loch, for sure I'll be frozen to death too...

And it's already commendable that you can still keep up your mind from the fear that caused by that creature..."

Yang Manli shook her head and replied honestly.

"No, I'm already in the brink of insanity and only to be pulled back after hearing your voice calling darling's name..."

"... I see... Then, let's do this..."

Han Sen was stunned after hearing that fact from Yang Manli and took in and out a deep breath after seeing the Super creature made a shockwave from falling on the ground.

"Aim at the wounded body while I'll try to make a chance for you."

Han Sen signals her to let him go and he drops again from such heights.

The creature saw this and sprung up again while it opens its jaw to eat the hateful man, but only for its mouth to be closed forcefully by the two iced whips, then its eyes constrict after it saw Han Sen shapeshift to the minotaur appearance.

Han Sen twists his body to punch forward to the creature's forehead and he was successful.

He is still falling because he doesn't have wings, but use the gravity, the heaviness of his Beast Soul, and the fact that the creature is in midair.

He pulled down his raised arms that grasping the handles of the iced whips, and the creature and his position soon changed in midair before a loud banging sound resounded in the whole forest.

The creature's body was smashed down to the ground and Han Sen recalls the whips and resummoned it to grab the farthest tree to pull his body away from the creature.

The creature screams and now really mad at the golden bull shit, it intended to slither to pursuit Han Sen but only to scream again after feeling a pain from his body.

It looks at its body just to see an arrow that was lodge on its wound and disappeared in no time.

It looks around and saw the hateful insect flying in the sky that out of its reached and screams again from being helpless and trashed around the forest before deciding to follow Han Sen.

Han Sen was using the whips to dodge the raged creature, and he didn't dare to get closed even for once now.

'... If I'm hit by just one whip of its body or tail... For sure I'll be a goner...'

He raced his mind to control the flow of the creature's mindless thrashing as it's aiming at him while he is sweating profusely.

He tries to think and predict the outcome if he goes here, or he goes there, to lessen the chance of being hit.

Yang Manli's accuracy for aiming the wounds is going down until she can't hit anymore.

She can be seen moving her bow in any direction while aiming at the wounds.

'Fuck this shit! I'm having a hard time following them!!!'

She felt another form of frustration because they are too fast for her sight.

'... Knowing that both of them can keep up with that creature's speed... They already have points of that fifth Gene for sure...'

She didn't even try to hit the unharmed part of the creature's body because she already tried it once and it's useless.

'The arrows are only dealing small and very shallow scratches on its scales... Arg!'

This keeps going for thirty minutes already and Yang Manli is sweating profusely and much worst than Han Sen.

Because she can feel the burden of her wings that will reach the maximum threshold of duration from the Genes in another few minutes now.

But at this very time, they heard the voice of Shyrveen shouting.

"Get out of the place now!"

Yang Manli didn't even bother to look up and force her Genes to fetch Han Sen, which already propelled himself higher to be fetched and Yang Manli flew upwards in her fastest might and got a glimpse of a long ghostly big blue pole falling from the heaven, that bypassed them.

A few minutes back, above the clouds.

Shyrveen's body is shivering and he is grinding his teeth to hold on from losing consciousness.

His broken system status is refreshing so fast that his health bar is disappearing and appearing in between full and one fourth.

He even used three health potions to keep up with the pain.

Twenty minutes passed, and he was successful merging the two ents into one.

Beast Soul Gained:

- Mutant Crimson Iron-Bone Fish

- Sacred-Blood Black Beetle

- Sacred-Blood Jade-Scaled Fish

- Sacred-Blood Spectral Snake (4 Stars)

- Sacred-Blood Obsidian Dragon (4 Stars)

- Super Treant Devout Guardian, Esmund (1 Star)

'... The Ents became Treant after merging?... And it's a named Beast Soul?...'

Shyrveen was stunned after checking the Beast Soul then hurriedly check what type of Beast Soul is it now.

Type of Super Treant Devout Guardian's Beast Soul: Pet, Staff

'... Two?... But my Sacred-Bloods are... Is this the effect once my evolved Beast Souls reach Super status?...'

Shyrveen shook his head and summoned it as a pet and his neck bends backward just to get a glimpse of its face.

Esmund stood at nearly twenty meters tall and had a thick crown of countless branches covered in lush leaves like a gift of spring itself.

Its tall trunk body can be a home and refuge to many critters alike; perhaps some would become the treant's friends.

A knotted face was almost hidden within the bark; moss had covered great parts of it as if representing hair.

Massive, wrinkly arms rested despite hanging in the air and were capable of moving with incredible speed.

The aura it emits is not suppressed and now telling that its strength is terrifying for other creatures below Super.

Fortunately, treant is accompanied by life and nature, and so it's aura is inclined into a peaceful side.

'...'

Shyrveen's smiles turn into a grin and the excitement inside his heart burns brightly again and strongly this time after seeing Esmund.

"... Time to kill~"

He murmured but then he was stunned after seeing a simple one nod from the treant.

'Hee... It can understand me~'

He put his hand on its feet and inserted his mana and soon the treant became ice treant and he ordered Esmund to changed into Beast Soul Staff.

Esmund slowly turns into staff with the same length of the spear in midair before landing on the palm of Shyrveen.

He breathes in and out before he willed the ice platform to be disappeared and he started to fall.

After seeing his Beast Souls in his arsenal, he got an idea of what to do.

In midair, Shyrveen willed the iced staff to be a very big pole, that extended with a height of Burj Khalifa Tower on Earth and expanded with a diameter of two hundred meters.

Then he summoned the snake and melded with its skill as he exerts his full Genes into his right fist before shouting at them to get away from the place.

After seeing them moved and flying to the sky with great speed, he punches the end of the pole that became like a bullet that traversing the path towards the Super creature.

While the said creature's danger sense is tingling like crazy and looks up just for its eyes to expands widely after seeing a very fast and incoming ice pole towards its head...
