《Psychic Parasite》Chapter 51:Dawn Makes a Second Appearance
Advertisement
The psychic arm—spanning 100 metres long, magenta in colour—slammed into Lost City, stirring up waves in the air, creating sonic booms that resonated with the frequency of the ground below, making it experience an earthquake.
A barrier appeared, surrounding the city walls of Marble City, shielding the soldiers and everything within the city from the shockwaves.
Various vents opened up along the walls of Lost City, looking like cannons. Psychic arms emerged out of them, merging into the walls, attempting to stabilise it. A psychic arm emerged out of a huge cannon, the biggest of the lot. It turned yellow, trying to counterattack the magenta arm.
With a flick of the magenta arm's finger, the yellow arm dissipated, leaving the city walls behind it turning magenta, quickly seeping into it. The massive psychic arm split into 6 smaller psychic arms, turning invisible. They placed their palms on the city walls, exerting force on them.
The Lost City, a gigantic fortress that hovered in the air was pushed away, travelling hundreds of metres each second. Despite the more than thousand psychic arms that emerged out of the city trying to counterattack it, the 6 psychic arms continued to push them away from Marble City.
"That is enough, Marble." A flash of light appeared, covering the sky with its splendour. It was white, looking like a blanket that covered the sky, encompassing the land. Seeing its appearance, every soldier on the city walls, irrespective of their position or strength, kneeled.
Citizens within the walls, from Central Command to the outermost 10th Ring, busying about their daily lives kneeled upon witnessing the light. It was a sense of respect, admiration, and devotion that stemmed from the depths of their hearts.
"Protect the city while I'm away. Unless the situation is urgent, don't disturb Strongest." Rhachis Ancestor Light shouted, his voice booming across the entire city, creating gusts of wind that carried his sound waves.
"Okay," A voice resounded, spread evenly across the air, as if pronounced from every direction and position. It was followed by the six psychic arms retracting towards the city, disappearing in an instant.
Rhachis Ancestor Light raised his arm, facing his palm towards Lost City. His body radiated light, condensing it into a kilometre long hand that clutched one ends of Lost City. Using his position as the centre, Rhachis Ancestor Light spun his body, spinning the city in spirals, releasing his hold after 7 revolutions.
Massive gusts of winds were stirred as a result of its motion, creating small tornadoes along its wake as Lost City was sent flying tens of kilometres, widening its distance from Marble City.
Rhachis Ancestor Light raised his hand, creating five streaks of light from each of his fingers. They morphed into 10 metre tall eagles, raising chirping cries as they flew around him. He gazed at Lost City, "Gajara Rahi, how long do you plan to hide within it? If you don't come out, then I have no qualms of tearing your city to shreds."

Seeing no response from within the city except for the increase in the psychic arms emerging out, Rhachis Ancestor Light snorted, commanding his five light eagles to attack. After a short-pitched cry, the five eagles flashed, travelling at the speed of light, going beyond the horizon.
Five huge gashes appeared along the walls of Lost City, the cracks deepening as they melted. The speed of attack was frighteningly high that they broke down the sturdy walls without trouble. A flash appeared as another five gashes appeared on it.
Every second, the number of gashes increased by five, tearing down the city walls, and allowing the inside to come into view. The five light eagles appeared before Rhachis Ancestor Light, directing themselves at the core of the city. With a flash, they disappeared, just before colliding into the city.
At some point in time, a black mist had covered the city walls, teleporting his attacks to somewhere unknown. Rhachis Ancestor Light smiled, looking towards the east. Five points of light appeared from there, colliding into the city walls covered under black mist, dispersing a part of them while getting teleported somewhere.
"I wonder how long you can sustain using your spatial abilities. I heard they are energy draining depending on the distance you teleport. Anywhere you send them, the most you can do is delay my attacks by a second." Rhachis Ancestor Light smiled, creating five more light eagles.
He gazed at the situation with calm, allowing the 10 light eagles to attack while he took the role of a bystander. After some time had passed, he noticed that Lost City was preparing to teleport away, making its walls begin to distort. "So, that is what you were planning all along. It takes some time to teleport such a massive city after all."
Rhachis Ancestor Light raised his hand, keeping it in line with his shoulder level, his hands shaped like he was holding a cylindrical rod. A dense fluctuation of light emerged from his body, morphing into a long sword, its handle held in his right hand.
He opened the palm of his left, creating formless energy atop it, making it spiral. Thin threads appeared from it, attaching themselves along the edge of the long sword, coating it with a mellow hue.
Rhachis Ancestor Light raised his long sword, making it face the sky. His expression turned serious, "Some minutes ago, I remember telling you that this plan wasn't initiated by me. Aren't you curious about who that person was?"
"…who?" A crackling voice emerged out, seemingly a mixture of 10 voices, each produced by disharmonious creatures.
"Now you are talking," Rhachis Ancestor Light smiled, bringing his hand down. "It was Dawn."
His long sword increased in length in an instant, turning tens of kilometres long, flashing down upon Lost City, cutting it down in the middle. The black mist surrounding it dissipated, having unable to teleport the flashing sword strike.

The Lost City was severed into two, splitting into two halves, showcasing the humans and Frenzy Beasts within that vaporised, having been in proximity of the attack. The attack stopped at the centre of the city, before a strange organism surrounded by pitch-black mist. The part of the light sword that touched the area had been teleported away, showcasing a small nick in the mist, unable to be covered in a short period.
"Gajara Rahi, you have fused yourself with Frenzy Beasts, making your inclination waver from the side of humanity. Your existence has been doomed to be a threat to humans," A voice boomed from beyond the clouds, sounding like a heavenly decree.
Hearing the voice, the black mist surrounding the strange organism visibly trembled, increasing in intensity. It looked alarmed, making every surviving being within the city to teleport around it, forming a huge barrier.
The clouds parted way, vaporised into vapour as a huge ball of flames descended, looking like a miniature sun. It immediately exerted a tremendous gravitational pull, preventing Lost City from teleporting away.
Just the heat the miniature sun released vaporised every organism in Lost City, whether human or Frenzy Beast, irrespective of whether they were Tier 1 or Tier 5. With a loud bang, the miniature sun crashed into Lost City, spewing waves of heat in all directions, making it look like an apocalypse had descended.
The 10 light eagles surrounded Rhachis Ancestor Light, morphing into a sphere of light that shielded him from the terrifying heat waves. He gazed down, looking at the soil that had melted, forming a magma ground. The Lost City had completely vaporised, leaving behind a tiny black dot, 10 times the size of a human, desperately resisting against the miniature sun that dwarfed it.
"Humanity is down to five cities now." Rhachis Ancestor Light sighed, picking up the crystal lens from his pocket, disappearing through a streak of light. "I'll hunt the remaining subsouls that might have teleported away."
"Okay, be careful." A voice resounded from within the miniature sun, filled with a slight sense of loss. "We have created quite the commotion. They are bound to have noticed by now."
…
On a huge continental landmass surrounded by three oceans, to the southern-east corner stood a mountain, spanning 2228 metres tall. Standing next to the colossal mountain was a living creature, equally matched with the mountain.
The colossal creature had its eyes shut, seemingly in a state of sleep while standing. Its entire body was covered by a dense cluster of wool, the strands big enough to be considered trees. To the top of its head was a pair of horns, curled in a spiral pattern, with ridges spanning along its length, making the surrounding air tremble with just their presence.
The creature inhaled, creating a vortex at its nostrils, sucking large volumes of air mixed with soil and rocks. The moment it exhaled, the inhaled soil and rocks emerged out as saltwater, forming a massive lake at the bottom. Within the lake lived grotesque fishes, not one having any semblance of sanity.
A Frenzy Beast that unconsciously treaded the region began to weep, shedding buckets of tears until its body lost all its moisture content. It then fell down like a dried ball of sack, dead. The insane grotesque fishes swimming in the lake immediately jumped towards the land, pouncing at the dead frenzy Beast, feasting on its dried husk.
Tier 6 Frenzy Beast—Colossal Bawling Sheep!
Sitting atop its forehead was a humanoid figure, looking like a mixture between man and monster. Each strand of his hair, long and transparent, had small suction pod-like mouths at their ends, painting a scary picture. He had no eyes, no ears, no lips, leaving behind a mouth that had neither a tongue nor any teeth.
His face gazed northwest, seemingly noticing something. His mouth curled up in ridicule, radiating his expression of disdain. He raised his hand, focusing on his thumb and index finger as he inserted them into his mouth, puffing his cheeks.
Followed by a loud whistling sound, a formless pressure radiated through the surroundings. Immediately, the cry of a bird resounded through the air as a creature appeared, perching on the horns of the Colossal Bawling Sheep.
"We should get ready to invite a special guest. Alert the others." He spoke, showing not even an ounce of vitality. The bird immediately took off to the skies, letting out sharp cries. Powerful auras emerged, one after the other as they tailed the bird.
The man raised his right hand, bringing it down with force, slapping the forehead of the Colossal Bawling Sheep. A muffled sound was produced, the shockwaves from the impact stirring up waves in the air. His hand paused with awkwardness, noticing the Colossal Bawling Sheep showing no signs of waking up.
'Tap' 'Tap' 'Tap'
The man sent numerous slaps to its forehead, creating thunderous sounds one after the other, finally producing a stir from below. He gazed into the horizon, trailing after the Frenzy Beasts that followed after the bird, heading north-west. "Is this all the person you have chosen is capable of? How utterly foolish," He mocked, hurriedly covering the sides of his face despite possessing no ears.
A bawling sound resounded from below, the sound waves destroying the mountain beside it, sending massive boulders flying everywhere. "Waahhhh!"
"Shut up! Get moving! Cry later!" The man shouted, sending hundreds of slaps upon the forehead.
"Waahhhh!" Followed by the sounds of crying, the Colossal Weeping Sheep took a step forward, making the land below quake. It then took another step forward, pausing for reasons unknown. A couple of seconds later, the wailing stopped as the colossal Bawling Sheep stopped moving.
