Is That A Wisp? Chapter 280
Advertisement
The group finally took action. Feifei and Krune separated from the rest and targeted the two 4th Stage Demon Beasts First. Because they initiated their attack first, the Divine Realm Soul beasts all charged at them. Still, the 4th Stage ones were obviously faster. Since they don't have intelligence, they didn't coordinate with the others.
It only took a moment for Marshine's group to get in the way of the 3rd stage and below ones. Noticing that the 4th Stage ones were far enough, Krune and Feifei immediately changed stances. Feifei looked at those two Demon Beasts coming and showed a playful smile.
"Let's see how it is now that I have comprehended two sub-laws of water."
Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy started to pour out of Feifei's dantian. Soon, the world around Krune, Feifei, and the beasts turned into pure blue.
"Blue World!"
Sure enough, the two Demon Beasts felt it hard to move forward. Still, because of the difference in cultivation, Feifei's Blue World couldn't stop them completely. Fortunately, that wasn't the only thing that she could do there.
Just as before, several types of water attacks started to come from everywhere.
Krune noticed that everything was ready and acted as well.
"Let's also see if my Tribulation Lightning Laws can merge with Feifei Water ones as well as they did when we practiced."
Krune appeared beside Feifei, and her hand touched his core. With this, the two of them started to exchange their feelings of laws and energies.
Suddenly, the water attacks started to become purple-colored. Not only that, but the entire Blue World was now a mix of purple and blue instead.
"Tribulation World!"
Arcs of Purple Lightning and Water spread everywhere and immediately target the two Demon Beasts. Let alone being able to attack, the Demon Beasts couldn't even defend against so many attacks. Not to mention the fact that every attack was at least at their own level.
The two 4th Stage Demon Beast tried to defend themselves the best they could. Unfortunately for them, it seemed like Feifei and Krune's pool of spiritual energy seemed limitless!
In fact, Krune and Feifei could have dealt with one of them each. Especially now that Krune was forced into his wisp form. But there was a reason for this combination attack. The fact that it didn't use as much energy as it seemed. Either Krune or Feifei would need to spend a lot more Spiritual and Elemental Source energy if they wanted to finish those two beasts separated.
Light Spirit looked at their combined attack and couldn't help but sigh.
'Just like Cilia and me back then, it really brings back memories.'
As both of them had mentioned, it only took a few seconds. Those two 4th Stage Demon Beasts couldn't resist anymore and were finally killed by Feifei and Krune's combined effort.

Although the others were dealing with the remaining Divine Soul Realm demon beasts, they still had their Divine Sense spread to look at Krune and Feifei's situation. Because of that, they all saw what happened.
Tinnian couldn't help but comment.
"Laws..."
Rarol laughed and added.
"Not only that, but they merged their laws together. Just how much of a monster those two are?"
Suddenly, Tinnian and Rarol got close to each other. With that, now the brothers were fighting two 3rd stage and one 2nd demon beasts.
"Brother, shall we go crazy a bit?"
Tinnian understood what Rarol meant and sighed.
"You really hate to look weaker than others, don't you?"
Rarol laughed once again and nodded.
"You talk as if you had nothing to do with it. Do you think I can't see it? Behind this always calm face of yours, there is a crazier soul that mine will ever be."
Tinnian couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, something like black lightning started to come out of their bodies and enter each other.
"Let's go!"
Their speed started to increase, and soon, their enemies couldn't even see their movements anymore. Just black flashes the appeared for a split of a second everywhere.
"Black Thunder!"
The demon beasts couldn't even see from where the attacks were coming. One strike and a big cut were left behind, another black flash, and a paw was sent flying. It looked like the scene of some horror film. Those three demon beasts were being cut to pieces.
Krune saw that with his Divine Sense and was taken aback.
"This feeling... Tribulation Lightning! But... it is totally different than mine."
Light Spirit then commented.
"That's correct. But their ones are still the typical type of Tribulation Lightning. It's just that they are adding their bloodline power into the mix, that's why it looks black instead of blue. They also can merge their powers. Of course, there are no laws behind their attacks, only pure power."
Light Spirit was right, Tinnian and Rarol combination attack used their bloodline and Tribulation Lightning only. Compared to Feifei and Krune's Tribulation World, their energy expenditure was several times higher. Also, because of the lack of laws, it couldn't reach the attack power that Krune and Feifei did. To prove that, the two of them took more than a minute to finish off those demon beasts.
Feifei and Krune only took a few seconds. That shows just how much of a difference Laws can make to one's combat power. Of course, that doesn't mean that it was weak at all.
Krune and Feifei had separated and help Marshine and Filio, so when Tinnian and Rarol finished their part, the result was decided.

With the six of them ganging up on the remaining two Demon Beasts, the fight was over in a flash. Although there was still the lower level demon beasts, they weren't a threat for Krune and the others.
Once the battle was over, they soon proceeded to take the flowers. After taking them and sharing, Feifei and Krune immediately rushed to the demon beasts corpses. Sure enough, their bodies started to turn in specs of light again. Krune and Feifei quickly absorbed as much of that light as possible until everything disappeared.
Once they finished, the two returned to their group.
Rarol then commented.
"So the two of you can use laws. That's really impressive. Hahaha!"
"That Black Thunder isn't bad either."
Suddenly, Rarol's expression changed.
"Danger!"
Krune immediately confirmed Rarol's words.
"A group is quickly approaching us, and it seems to have 8 members. One of them is at the 5th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm. I don't recognize their appearance either. There is no doubt that they came from another path. They probably felt the changes in the Spiritual Energy and are coming to take a look. Let's get out of here before they see us."
Everyone nodded, and they immediately departed. They had spent quite some Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy already. Not to mention that the other group was not like the demon beasts. They have intelligence and most likely can use combat formations. There is also the fact that they have more members and higher cultivation levels.
"That won't work, they will definitely feel our presence before we move far enough."
Tinnian then said.
"Let's just move as fast as possible. It is one thing for their strong members to follow us, but I refuse to believe that everyone can keep up to our speed. They will probably have to think twice before separating into two groups."
Krune sighed and then said.
"There is no need to worry, just stay close to me."
Suddenly, Krune's Tribulation Lightning Layer expanded and covered everyone. He also made sure to create another layer between him and the outer layer to keep his wisp form hidden.
"Let's go."
Except for Feifei, everyone was taken aback.
Rarol couldn't help but laugh once more.
"I see, you can hide all of us from their Divine Senses. Hahaha!"
Krune's group then kept moving away from the area.
When the other group arrived in the place of the battle, their leader couldn't see anything inside his Divine Sense.
"Weird. I definitely saw someone at the borders of my Divine Sense range. But they soon disappeared right after. I couldn't tell how many of how strong they were either since I was just too far."
His friend then asked.
"Could it be that they are lying down to ambush us?"
Their leader immediately shook his head.
"Looking at this battle site, I'm sure that they aren't many. And it seems like they spent quite some energy after it was finished. They shouldn't be in a condition where they can buy a fight against us."
"Still, they are definitely something. From the time that the battle started to the end, no more than two minutes passed. We felt the changes in spiritual energy as soon as it started, but we couldn't arrive in time. This is quite a strong group, and I would guess that they have a way to conceal their presence from Divine Sense. It is better if we don't try to buy a fight with them either."
Everyone agreed with the leader, and they immediately departed after that.
As for Krune and his group, although they were moving in a similar direction, it wasn't the same. This dimensional realm is still a one-way path, after all. Fortunately, the distance between the two side borders is enormous, so Krune was able to open a big enough gap between their group and the other one.
Because both groups were close to each other, Krune's Divine Sense would notice their presence once in a while. They would then change direction and get far away. This situation continued for a few more days.
"It seems like another group had the same idea as us. They are definitely rushing forward while collecting as many Elemental Flowers as possible."
Feier nodded.
"Fortunately, we can still collect Flowers as well. We are also finding a lot more of those Special Flowers now."
Filio shook his head and then complained.
"Still, because we are trying to avoid them, we have lost a lot of opportunities. I don't think we should continue this way."
Krune, or better, Jolk pondered a bit and suggested.
"Since you already know that I can hide everyone from Divine Sense checks, what do you think about we rush forward, ignoring everything as we did before? We already spent 10 days here, I think we will acquire a lot more if we get away from them."
Tinnian agreed with him.
"With Jolk's Divine Sense protection, we should be able to avoid the majority of Demon Beasts now. I say it is worth a try."
In the end, everyone agreed with the idea, and then they departed.

With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means?

Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR.
