Chapter 244: The Dreadful Sword Slash
Chapter 244: The Dreadful Sword Slash
Jim took a deep breath before he imagined his sword in his mind. At first nothing happened except for a tingling feeling inside his hand.
Then gradually he could feel the cold feeling of his sword once again as it slowly became corporeal.
'Let's do it,' Jim took another breath while the world around was shaking non-stop.
He pointed the sword to the ground while feeling the pressure coming at it. The moment he did so an irresistible force appeared next pushing all over his body.
But it didn't come from his hand.
'That bastard is trying to force you to stop your spell,' the old man shouted, 'don't break it now... hold it... hold as long as you can endure!'
Jim was about to surrender to this force, wrongly thinking it was the usual force applied at him by his spell.
However as the old man warned he resisted and tried to maintain his posture. His legs were bent slightly under the immense pressure his body was suffering at the current moment.
His hand holding the sword even leaned slightly towards the ground, slowly drawing the sword closer to hit the darkness around.
But despite all that he didn't break his spell. Seconds passed like hours there and he felt just enduring for half a minute took almost all his power.
It wasn't strange for his body to crash on his knees the moment he let the sword off. He was panting for breath and couldn't feel many parts of his body except for numbness there.
"Boom!"
Yet the moment his sword hit the dark ground underneath it didn't stop. Even when he let the sword go, there was still a connection between him and the sword.
Next as the sword divided deeply in the darkness, crushing it into pieces like glass falling on a marble ground, Jim's body was pulled by the hidden connection of his sword.
And he dived deeply following it.
"Boom!"
The next moment he opened his eyes and found the chaotic battle raging wildly out there. His body regained its former luster and started to brightly shine in a very intense way.
It was now shining like a small sun inside that cave.
"You are... back!" Roger shouted in surprise and joy while seeing his jelly spell being crushed by the power of Jim.
"Step aside," yet Jim didn't have time to chat right now.
The monster up front wasn't affected by any of their attacks. In return it managed to poison many disciples who were now leaning on the side of the rear part of the cave.
"But..."
"Just tell them to step aside now!" Jim shouted while standing up. He was totally enraged by the fact that he got himself poisoned despite cutting most of that monster's tentacles.
And now he wanted revenge.
Just as Roger nodded and went to shout at his friends, Jim simply touched the next wall of the cave.
And that piece of the wall crumbled, showing off a large pink red vein inside.
"Not enough..." he glanced shortly at this vein before stepping back a couple of meters and touching another part of the wall.
"Not enough..." he continued, crushing walls and exposing veins around. Red, pink, purple, blue, silver, milky white, and even pitch black ore veins were all exposed all around.
They shone in a myriad of lights over the interior of the cave and over the faces of Hector's team members who were now retreating with puzzled expression over their faces.
"You tried to poison me motherf*cker..." Jim shouted before the next moment he started to touch the exposed veins all around.
The vein he touched had a connection of energy with. But he didn't stop at one vein and kept running all over the others.
In the end he stood at the forefront, with everyone standing on the back. His hands were tied with his spell but he still got his sword.
And he now had many thick rays of power that connected him to all the ore veins around.
"Die!"
All he did was to wave his hands and the sword clutched to them. The golden orb that was surrounding him vibrated before the entire world around changed drastically.
All of sudden the entire cave shone. In fact it wasn't the cave, but also the entire mountain.
Anyone seeing the mountain at this moment would notice flashes of different colors of lights coming forth from it in the middle of the darkness of this night.
It looked like the mountain got stirred up entirely, and Jim was the reason for it.
"Die!!" he screamed in deep anger while his sword slashed in the air. Next a gigantic wave appeared, stopped a couple of meters up in front of him and started to gather energy there.
It was absorbing energy from him, from the veins he was connected to, and from the energy he got from that monster.
"Shriek!"
The monster shrieked in alarming ways while it released its tentacles towards Jim, trying to kill him fast.
Jim calmly gazed up at all the tentacles coming at him. At this precise moment he could see everything crystal clear. He wasn't afraid, he wasn't doubting his ability to kill that monster... and so he only stood there without moving a muscle.
The tentacles got closer to the sword slash paused midair before they all stopped.
Couple of inches away off that sword slash hanging in the air they stopped.
"Shriek!"
The monster tried to pull them back with all its might but at this moment he lost all the control over them.
Then slowly and steadily they started to be covered in golden dust, getting decayed, shrunk in size in rate visible to naked eye before they vanished.
"It's eating them away," Jim muttered to himself before a confident smile appeared on his face.
"Get ready," he said to Roger and others, "the moment I attack don't slack down. Don't freeze or hesitate, just launch all of your attacks at once. We will get this one shot to kill it and you pray not to miss it."
He didn't get any answer from them but he trusted they would do as he said.
