《Xianshi Inn (A contemporary Xianxia novel)》Chapter 264
Advertisement
Under the order of Pei, the four helicopters dropped the folded metal they were carrying beneath them. The folded metal rod from the helicopter at the center was one that when fully extended became an extremely long spike, with a length that was well beyond the height of the hospital building. And those from the surrounding three were forked and attached to the center spike in midair, forming into a spike with extended branches. The next moment, the three branches shot out chained hooks at the position of the swords.
Pei didn’t have time to fully complete her enchantment of the last sword. But when the chained hooks got close, she had to stick the sword into the ground like she did others.
“Ka-chin!” the chained hooks locked onto the handles of the sword.
“Blue, now it’s your time!” Pei shouted at the microphone. At roughly the same time, the long metal spike penetrated the top of the hospital building, its body fully sunk into the center part of the building, right between the crossover section between North and West Wings. Some mechanical parts in the lower parts of the spike activated once the spike was fully locked in - other branches of spikes sprung out from the main spike and stuck into other parts of the building.
Another distinct chant from an old male voice appeared on this site, and with the chant, a piece of cloud above the hospital building started rolling and lighting up from within from the electric arcs inside. Something in this particular piece of cloud was also repellant to the clouds with faces on them, as wherever it grew, the clouds around it shrunk.
“Boom!” the entire sky was covered in silvery blue from a lightning bolt shot from the rumbling cloud. And the metal spike now protruding from the top of the hospital building was the target of this lightning spike. When the lightning bolt connected with the metal spike, the entire spike and its branches and chains lit up in blue. At the same time, the nine enchanted swords placed around the hospital building also started resonating with the electric energy from the lightning, thus the array made by the metal spike, metal chains and the swords was activated.

The peaceful, solemn and powerful chants of the monks formed a translucent golden energy dome, with golden ancient words and characters floating on the surface. Warm energy that was full of light, peace and righteousness was radiating from the dome - waves and waves of it, crushing against the ground and the hospital building.
The array formed by the swords, on the other hand, was beginning to act like some sort of electrocuting attack array powered by lightning. The bolts of lightning constantly shot from the sky were absorbed by the tall metal spike, some of its power turned into energy that fueled the array formed by the swords, the rest of it flowed directly into the body of the hospital building and started to cleanse the dark energy that inhibited inside. Each of the nine swords absorbed the electric energy flowing through the chains, and in turn changed and purified the energy before sending it back. The changed and purified energy became a part of the cleansing forces that struck the dark energy inside of the hospital from both inside and outside.
The shadow monster floating above the hospital building roared once again - this time it indeed made a noise, as it absorbed more dark energy infused substance from the building, its body became more solidified, and was armed with more functions.
Nameless stood where he was and focused on the monster but did not do anything to it - for he knew very well that no matter how many times he beat this monster it would just regroup and regrow from the dark energy that laid in this place. His job for now, is to stall the monster long enough so that it won’t have a chance to disrupt the formation of the array.
“How’s the array? Pei.” Vivian asked Pei through the comms.

“The last sword was not fully enchanted, it would be a weak point in the array. We need to keep a close eye on it.” Pei answered: “Alexander, status?”
“Things are starting to stir.” Alexander replied: “We’d better tell the agents to be on alert.”
“Understood, Robinson, Simmons, anything in the air?” Pei asked.
“The clouds are shaking and changing in shape. There were traces of strange energy flowing in the sky. Which is weird because the source of dark energy should be somewhere in the building right?”
“Same observation in my position, strange flows of energy seemed to be triggered. I’m gonna get closer and take a look.”
“Don’t, not yet, stay in your positions and let us know if anything happens.” Pei ordered.
“Understood.” “Roger.”
“Hey, where’s Ms. Wong?” on the side of Agent Jill and Agent Hall, an agent asked: “The big guys and gals are all here. But she’s not here yet.”
“She’s at the commissioner’s office. ” Agent Hall sighed.
“What?”
“Emergency plea for access.” answered Agent Hall: “The commissioner and the committee called her in right before we had to activate the quick reaction plan.”
“Yikes. I absolutely do not wanna be in her position right now.” Agent Jill shook her head.
“So we need to wait for her to come back.” Agent Hall looked at the building of Clearwater Municipal Hospital from a far, while still paying attention to the flow of energy from all directions using his gift.
“Master Blue is awesome.” another agent said, while staring at the bolts of lightning hitting the metal spike and didn’t show any signs of stopping or slowing down.
“And he’s British.” a bald agent with a cigar in his mouth joked as he pointed at the sky: “Can you hear the accent from the chant?”
“It’s kinda hard to tell with all the monks chanting.” said another agent drinking from his flask and with two hanguns hanging on his suspender holsters.
When the shadow monster’s body became semi-solid, it let out a loud scream and lunged at the position of the last sword at full speed.
Nameless stepped up, leaving a few after images behind, to block the monster’s path. His right palm glowed in golden light as he pushed it forward at the monster’s right claw.
“Boom!” the monster was sent flying backwards and rolled on the ground, its right chest, right shoulder were completely scattered.

"I'm Screwed" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story uses the system derived by Puddles4263 in Randidly Ghosthound. I've incorporates the Path's system into the leveling of this story. Some of the beginning paths will be similar or the same as I thought that the starting paths were very logical on how a system should start. The stories will be completely different as the characters and story arcs will be completely different. Again, thank you Puddles for allowing me to use your system, really appreciate it! I also wanted to thank ProFound Magician. Has a lot of insight into a story development and as his system is based on Ghosthound, I saw a some beginning stage skills that should be thought of in a character just starting out. If you haven't yet read Ghosthound or Genesis System you're in for a real treat when you do! Thank you both I hope my use is seen as an homage in the beginning. Hopefully my story can live up to the system.
