Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 160 Orcon Forest 2 IV : Giant JellyFish And A Hydra

There was a swirl and a loud growl as a small cyclone of wind seemed to have been formed around Alex, it was two meters in diameter, and it was just enough to completely cancel out the effects of the jelly fishes sonic domain.

The cyclone around Alex was a deep shade not reddish black, in all honesty it was the first time he had seen wind with a color, and it gave him an eerie and somewhat scary feeling. This was Khan's work, but this was unlike any other wind, Alex have seen from the Kamaitachi. He had scarcely finished speaking, when one of the jelly fish came in contact with the small cyclone, there was a sound like that of a blender, but instead of pieces of skin, or a ripped apart beasts, all Alex could see was the dried up husk of a body that once belonged to the spirit beast, it was dead and completely drained of it's essence and vitality, this was (Demon Wind).

After the death of their comrade, you would think that they would take a step back, after all, demonic and magical beasts were smarter than common animals. But no, it was as if a fuse had been out, a spark deep within their bodies that they couldn't resist. They kept on floating and flying towards the still rapidly spinning demonic wind cyclone, I felt as if the wind itself had some sort of charm like property, it was calling to them, and they were happily moving to their deaths, and as more and more of them died, their vitality and energy completely drained from their bodies, the wind cyclone got bigger and bigger, and bigger until it was a tornado with Alex stuck right in the middle watching in awe an Khan decimated a school(since they were fishes in a manner of speaking)of magical beasts until there was actually nothing left on the other side, and all this only happened in just five minutes.

The cyclone disappeared, and as it did so the sonic domain, even though it was still there, had been reduced to nothing but a dull high pitched ringing in his ears. Alex reckoned the 4th circle magical beast was still here somewhere, the domain was his after all, but even with the death of all of it's comrades, school mates, children or whatever, it had still not made any sort of appearance to the fight. Alex turned his head to look in the direction of the miniature Hydras, the two meter tall snakes with a lizard body and three years looked fierce, but they were keeping to their side of the crater without any sort of encroachment, which is to say the power of the boss jelly fish, was one that had their instincts tingling even without it's appearance.

Either way that's a good enough outcome for Alex as he turned to face the massive boulder in front of him, he threw a healing pill in his mouth and had to shiver at the hot and cold feeling he got from it. He had improved on his healing balm recipe, now it was a pill, but it still had the extreme chill and warmth effect, though thankfully this only lasted for a second or two while the pill went to work healing minor injuries, and reducing the severity of heavy ones. And it's healing wasn't instant like those health potions mage Alchemists could make, but it left behind no hidden substances or residue, and would heal any injury as long a trace of it's effect was still in your body.

Alex envisioned he would probably make a little bit of money off it, this were the ingredients for a basic vitality pill, but in his hands he had turned it into a pill that could heal over time, and work on all sorts of injuries, even broken bones! Which was something the Vitality pill couldn't do. The only set back was it's somewhat slow effects, a rapid one would help, much like the red health potions of mages which quite frankly was right at the top of the mountain for any sort of healing medicine. Alex shook his head and turned to boulder, it was uneven in a lot of places so climbing it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Alex placed his hands on it, and slowly began to make his way up, Khan had already flew up ahead, and nearly ten seconds into Alex's climb, he came back with multiple stalks of the Rock Poison Rose clutched precariously with his wind form. Khan didn't too much of a direction to send them into his master's storage ring, though his attempt to do so had made Alex loose his footing as he slipped, barely having enough time to grab onto another hand hold. Years growing up in a remote village with Anya had taught him how to be a very good climber; Alex was already thirty plus feet up within the span of five minute, a quarter of the distance to the top of this massive rock.

In a way this rock sort of reminded him of Zuma rock from back in the capital of the Nigerian colony, though that was a freaky massive rock with the face of a man formed on it after years and years of erosion. Alex carried on with his climb as Khan promptly decided not to come out of the storage ring, it left Alex confused for a while until he remembered there was still a bunch of Sylph wings laying around in the ring, and Khan had an acquired taste for them. It took Alex another ten minutes to get to the top as, the later part of the journey became a little bit harder seeing as that area of the Rock was smoother and had lesser handholds than the bottom. With a brave Alex threw himself over the edge, lying on his back only to see a glowing ten inch wide tentacle stabbing towards his chest.

Alex rolled to the side, but as he rolled, more and more tentacles were stabbing into the areas he had just escaped from. He couldn't get enough respite to fully see the enemy or where it was attacking from, but Alex wasn't going to let this continue. He already had his hand when he used a skill he hardly ever used outside of his personal training with the spear.

(The Imperial King's Wrath (Second Stance): Black Wildfire Sweeps!).

The full might off the technique was unleaded as a blaze of black flames gathered around the tip of the spear, creating a massive 360 cyclone that fender off numerous tentacles, burning them in the process as the smell of burnt flesh filled the air, and his assailant took a step back. Alex sent his awareness into his storage ring and Kicked a contended Khan out, his fist rapidly dropping on the Kamaitachi's horned head as punishment.

Sometimes the idiot was so smart, and other times he would just be so childish and incapable of controlling his urges, it got on Alex's nerve a lot, and it was taking all of his self control not to pounce on the spirit and beat him to a stupid.

But never the less, they had an Enemy in front of them, and one behind. Alex now understood why both the 4th circle magical Beast and soul refining realm demonic beast weren't there to run any interference, they were already on top of the Rock, have their usual standoff as the time inches ever so closely to noon.

Alex could not imagine having such an existence, he would be stuck there against an opponent he can't beat, but an opponent that also can't defeat him, waiting for an opportunity that said Opponent was also waiting for, and making sure to stop others from gaining it. This was crazy and at the peak of insanity, which showed that even if they're were smarter than your average magical and demonic beasts by virtue of their cultivation, they were still beasts. Completely uncivilized and incapable of coming to an agreement that was his have ended this feud long ago.

The enemy in front of him was a glowing blue and green jellyfish who's entire body was roughly ten to fifteen meters in diameter, it had three meter long tentacles ending in sharp points that it had tried to use in poking holes into Alex. Thankfully it failed, but it was still quite scary looking. Unlike normal jellyfishes, there was a single eye right in the middle of it's transparent head and the eye was fiercely glaring at him.

Alex turned a bit to look at the hurts behind him, this one was a car cry from the legendary magical beast with nine heads, capable of spitting poison, fire, lighting and all manner, but it still had five heads, was just about 20 feet tall, and unlike the original Hydra, this fucker was a demonic beast not a magical beast.

It's methods were more direct and brutal, no different from a wild animal. Just as Alex finally paid attention to his tow opponents, the wind around the crater began to pick. At first it was slow, just a gentle breeze that caressed you skin, making you sigh in pleasure at the gentle draft. Then it became stronger, and stronger, and a whole lot more fierce as the wind carried along with the dust of the desert and the leaves of the forest. Alex's clothes billowed in the wind, and Khan had stab his claws into the rock below him to keep his balance, there was a small rumble beneath their feet as Alex came to a realization....the wind flower was about to make an appearance.
