<h4>Chapter 373: Situation: Part 2</h4>
Countless ofplicated runes circled within the silver light as it engulfed Shinings and his disciple from head to toe.
As the silver light glittered, Shinings finally could heave a sigh of relief as he turned back with his disciple to look at Tenko Kasumi who was pursuing in the distance.
“I was careless. Regardless, next time, I will remember you, and I will make sure I find you.”
Shinings gave Kasumi a piercing nce.
As fellow Ptinates, their abilities should not have such a massive gulf between them, yet reality was a cruel mistress.
If not for his foresight to prepare this evacuation matrix, he would probably suffer even more losses.
“Running already?” Kasumi retracted her five des in the distance as they merged back into one. She looked at the two within the silver glow with slight frustration as she gripped the hilt tight.
“So...” Her crimson eyes glowed even more blindingly.
“Don’t let my efforts of horsing around with you go to waste...”
A gush of mes suddenly erupted from behind her.
CLANG!!!
An argent sh of the de struck down like a mystical meteor from the beyond towards Shinings and his disciple.
The tip of the de sh spun rapidly as it glowed, carrying with it countless of white snow as it formed into a massive vortex.
As it got closer, its speed increased exponentially. The de sh from the great sword quickly formed into a ten meter tall vortex.
“GLACIAL EXTINCTION!”
Tenko Kasumi was in the eye of the storm and charged in a straight line like a thunderbolt towards Shinings on the ground.
BAAMMM!!!
The vortex came crashing from the heavens against the silver light.
“Give up. This silver light is just an image. We have already crossed the expanse and are already half way through to our destination.”
Soulchain Jeff Shinings looked calmly at the white vortex.
“Heheh, then why are you spitting blood then?” Kasumi sneered within the white vortex as des of ice spun about at a deadly pace.
“...” Shinings was stunned as he held his hand out to touch his mouth. His hand was instantly stained whole with blood.
“You fool. Why you’d think I’d waste so much effort if it did not work?” Kasumi held her sword in both hands, as her arms shuddered.
BOOOM!!!
Be it the silver light, or the white vortex, all of the energies within the area faded away amidst the sudden jolt.
Shinings red menacingly at Kasumi within the silver light.
As the light disappeared, his body did so as well, butpared to earlier, his body was slowly being coated by a thinyer of blue ice.
“I will remember this.” He said.
“Heh, weakling.” Kasumi mmed her sword into the ground and sneered.
“The next time we meet, it’ll be your doom!!” Shining’s eyes seeped with icy violence.
“Heh, weakling.”
“And when that timees, it won’t be me alone... Save your breath for then!”
“Heh, weakling.”
“You!!!” The final instant the silver light faded away, Shinings saw Kasumi simply stood there digging her ears and got so pissed that blood welled up within his mouth without any recourse to spit it out.
WHOOSHH
The silver light disappeared, leaving only a ten meter wide crater on the ground as Tenko Kasumi stood alone in the crater with her sword nted into the ground.
Not too far away, white snow rained down from the sky and wherever the snow touched, the mist disappeared as the two elements repelled each other.
“Thank goodness we ran away fast enough.”
Lin Sheng, who had early ran away to the safety of the ruins, slowly poked his head out after making sure all was quiet.
He held someone in his arm as his clothes all over were torn, taking light steps as he walked towards one of the sh marks on the ground.
A chilling cold radiated out from the mark. Everything around the area had been covered in ayer of blue frost.
Lin Sheng held his leg out and gently stepped on one of the ck metal rods.
CRACK!
The rod cracked opened like brittle ice with just a light touch of his feet.
“Incredible...” Lin Sheng felt a chill in his heart.
While he had been killed plenty of times in the dream with that move, but this was the first time he saw the terrifying aftermath of the move in reality.
Of all of Kasumi’s move set, this was probably the one that boggles his mind.
“Logically, the lower a metal’s temperature, the harder it would be right? How does this even work?” Lin Sheng had difficulties understanding this sort of power.
This was a product of Tenko Kasumi’s unique state.
He was not at that state, so he could not even begin to fathom. She was like a Pandora’s Box; his own Pandora’s Box.
Her skillset is just beyond any logical understanding!
Lin Sheng stood by the sword mark, and inspected the potency of the fatal chill.
Only after a good ten minutester did he noticed the chill starting to weaken.
He then looked up into the sky.
All around the city, the sky was gloomy as thick clouds roiled above and snow danced.
Lin Sheng seemed to be looking for something there, as he looked from sections to sections of the sky. Yet he could not see where the snow hade from.
White snow soon covered at least a good half of the city as one part of the city was covered in snow, while another half was smothered by an ever-thickening mist.
The snow and mist were like two shapeless force that were vying for supremacy.
A white sh sted out beside Lin Sheng as Kasumi walkedzily out of it.
“Sorry, didn’t manage to kill him.”
“No worries, if Ptinates could be killed that easily, Darksiders won’t be trying to reach that state in such a frenzy.” Lin Sheng said tly.
“But why do I need to exin this to you? I am you and you are me right?” Kasumi suddenly added.
“Sure, it works that way, but don’t you feel that speaking normally is much more meaningful?”
Lin Sheng said as he squatted down and looked at the ice crystals forming at the bottom of the sword mark.
“Heh.” Kasumi felt that her main body is probably screwed in the head.
He could easily just check her memory to verify it, but he somehow chose to speak.
“How does your Eternal Frostst?” Lin Sheng suddenly asked.
“Depends. In this situation, probably a few days, the thick mist is very corrosive.” Kasumi looked at the thick mist shing against the snow and frowned.
“That’s enough. Lin Sheng did a rough estimation and had an idea what sort of level Kasumi was at.
“If two of that Ptinate were toe at you, can you handle them?” He asked.
Kasumi titled her head as she pondered.
“No idea, but the Eventide ability of every Ptinate is different. And that old man’s ability is quite frankly, shit. Just merely to turn someone into wood.
If his backups are as weak as him, I can fight three of them off with no issue.
But if other Ptinates appear with more troublesome abilities, then it’ll be difficult to say.”
“That will suffice.” Lin Sheng nodded.
He then looked at the direction the group was hiding and got up.
“Let’s go. About time to go home. I have a feeling something bad will happen soon.”
“Yeah.” Kasumi agreed. She too had sensed something was growing inside the roiling mist.
The two turned towards the direction Shafreddy and the rest were hiding and headed there quickly.
A momentter, a group of figures covered in a white snow storm rapidly ran towards the distance.
