Mundane Lives: Akelus
Twang... Clang...
[Foothold of Guluan Mountains]
Kai Sheng swung his sword at Akelus. Akelus turned his arm to block the strike.
BOOM!!!
Most of the soldiers lost their footing as they got swept away by the shockwaves. While the three dragons got pushed back a bit.
Akelus flipped backwards focusing his golden Qi onto his fist. While Kai Sheng swung his blade yet again, wrapped in reddish-pink aura, shearing through the air. Akelus twisted himself mid-air, nearly dodging Kai Sheng's blade and launched himself at him.
The reddish-pink aura arched forward into a crescent, cutting everything in its path, soldiers and trees alike. While Akelus lunged at him, his fists reinforced with Golden Qi.
BANG!!!
[Fudan] crashed onto Kai Sheng, flinging him away.
BOOM!!!
Xie He dived for Akelus, while Bao hu and Chen Mo swooped in from the sides.
Xie He dashed forward shrouding himself with a bright white Qi, his blade gleaming brightly, scorching everything in it's path.
Bao Hu readied his mace wrapping it with grey Qi, crushing everything in his path.
Chen Mo gripped his daggers harnessing it with a purplish-black Qi, shrouding everything in darkness.
[Pathfinder]
Akelus' eyes started shining brightly, four arrows appeared around him. Three of them were red, while the fourth one was black. But the whole area was etched in gold.
"Huuu...", sighed Akelus, as he bolted in the direction of the black arrow.
Akelus covered himself with Golden Qi while he bolted forward, three warriors were charging right at him. When suddenly-
Kai Sheng struck his blade forward, concentrating his Qi to the tip of his sword. Akelus twisted himself, dodging Kai Sheng's attack getting behind him.
Kai Sheng quickly spun back, whirling his blade. Akelus raised his arms blocking Kai Sheng's attack and jumped back.
Xie He quickly followed up, as he swung his blade at Akelus. While Bao Hu, lunged from above, crashing his mace down. Akelus deflected Bao Hu's strike with one hand, while parried Xie He's sword with the other. He quickly spun around punching Xie He right in the face, simultaneously hitting Bao Hu with a back kick.
BOOM!!! CRASH!!!
Both of them were sent sent flying backwards, crashing into the trees.
[Pathfinder]
Two arrows formed around Akelus. One was black, while the other was a trail of golden arrows.
Ethereal green [Aura of Nature] spread across the forest, healing it. Vines started sprouting, wrapping itself around dead trees, reinforcing them, making them stronger than ever before. Forest's lush greenery returned, corpses of dead soldiers were being consumed by the land.
The forest darkened, the shadows became sharper.
Chen Mo crept out of the shadows with his daggers ready, lunging at Akelus. Akelus quickly climbed up the vines following the golden trail of arrows, nearly dodging Chen Mo.
Charging himself with golden Qi, Akelus jumped from one vine to another, from one tree to another, while the rest kept barraging him with their attacks crushing, scorching and plundering everything in their path. The Dragons went on warpath disregarding everyone, with their sole objective of subduing Akelus. Akelus kept swirling, flailing and whirling his arms, as he blocked and deflected every attack coming his way, while he followed the golden trail of arrows.
He lunged up, concentrating his Qi onto his fist. Spun around facing the Four Dragons and released his Qi in the form of a fist.
[Heaven Defying Fist]
BAM!!!
The entire area was flattened, as golden shockwaves spread everywhere. Soldiers fell apart as they got swept away by the shockwaves. Xie He, Bao Hu got knocked out, heavily injured. Chen Mo got flung to the sky. Kai Sheng lay flat in the center of the crater, bleeding, his sword shattered, his arms pulverized, hanging by his body.
"Like I said, all of you are just clowns, dancing around for attention.", sneered Akelus, as he landed on the golden mark etched by [Pathfinder]. "All it took was one well timed attack. Heh."
Ethereal [Aura of Nature] returned the forest to its lush greenery, making it stronger than before.
"I still have to hold this spot to get out, huh.", thought Akelus.
[Pathfinder]
Two arrows appeared. One black and another a golden trail of arrows.
SWOOSH... BANG!!!
A bright beam of light shot from the sky, scorching the land. Akelus quickly concentrated his Qi into a shield.
"Such cruel slaughter.", sighed Feng ren, Sect Leader of Wudang Sect, as he descended.
"Huh, those soldiers were slaughtered by your own Young masters.", retorted Akelus healing his burns with a pill.
"A pathetic attempt to shift blame, thief.", said Sect Leader Ren, he unsheathed his sword.
"First, I am not a thief. I am the one who searched for the [Ruins of Sheng He], I am the one who found his treasure. These are my spoils. You just followed me here." said Akelus. "Second, it really was your esteemed Young masters who slaughtered their own soldiers, despite of how it looks.
"I am not here to be lectured brat!", thundered Sect Leader Ren, Ten bright white swords formed behind him. "I am here to bring you to justice."
"Yeah... right.", grimaced Akelus, as he took battle stance and charged [Fudan].
Sect Leader Ren slowly advanced towards Akelus. The white swords turning behind him and pointing at Akelus. Sect Leader raised his blade, charging it with white Qi and struck down. The white swords shot forward along with a crescent shape arc.
"Fuck.", Akelus charged up his Qi forming a shield, as he retreated back.
BOOM!!!
The swords struck and crescent slashed, shattering the shield and flinging Akelus back.
Akelus, his eyes shining brightly, formed a Qi construct and used it like a foothold to jump higher and retreat.
[Pathfinder]
A golden mark was gleaming brightly on the ground, while a red arrow formed above.
A sword struck upon Akelus, slashing him. He fell down.
A man peered from above, floating in the sky.
Dongfang Zhang, Murim Alliance Master and Sect Leader of Mt. Hua Sect.
"Going somewhere?.. cowardly cur.", He said.
Blood gushed out of Akelus' wound. He stood up pale and weak.
Sect Leader Zhang descended.
"Surrender.", his voice thundered. " And I assure you that your life will be spared. There will be justice. You will be given a chance to redeem yourself. Considering your feat of finding the elusive [Ruins of Sheng He], the Murim Alliance will use your skills for the righteous cause and betterment of millions."
"Thanks, but no thanks.", chuckled Akelus, as he chucked another pill into his mouth..
Dongfang Zhang strode forward not saying another word. His aura grew heavy and sharp, spreading violently.
Akelus became tense.
Feng Ren readied his sword, shrouding it in white light.
Everything went bizzarely silent. Just the sounds of approaching footsteps were heard.
Tap... Tap... Tap...
Akelus lunged backwards randomly not following any arrow, the golden mark etched by [Pathfinder] gleaming brighter than ever. Several red and black arrows surrounded him.
Sect Leader Ren charged at him, while Sect Leader Zhang swung his blade.
Several bright pink petals of cherry blossoms spread across the forest, cutting everything it touched. Hundreds of Bright white sword appeared in the sky raining down, burning everything in its path.
Akelus raised his arms up, using [Fudan] he formed a shield around him. He formed a Qi construct as a foothold and lunged even higher to the sky.
Dongfang Zhang, focused his Qi, and concentrated the pink petals into a vortex, shooting it at Akelus. Feng Ren assimilated all the swords he formed into a single mighty sword and launched it at Akelus.
Both the attacks combined together, resembling cherry blossoms swept in a gust of wind, shrouded by blinding light.
[Heaven's Mercy]
BOOM!!!
The attack struck Akelus, who further reinforced his shield, tanking it.
He spun around grasping momentum, redirecting the attack.
"No.... No, He isn't-", stammered the flustered Sect Leader Ren. When-
Red draconian attack came from outside the barrier, while Akelus redirected [Heaven's Mercy] onto the the barrier.
BOOM!!!
After a thunderous shockwave the barrier shattered.
"AKELUS!!!", three voices thundered.
