Murim Recurve Chapter 230

Re'Kha skid out of the room, rolled on the floor once, and jumped away, watching the hand of the Mirror Sha flash right underneath her. Unlike the other two Sha, it only had a pair of arms to attack. But, it was able to extend them to a considerable range, equivalent to the maximum range of their Pranic Arts.
Moreover, it was a defensive unit, able to absorb their Pranic Art Projections using its mirrors before slamming the same onto its attackers. Moreover, it could use them whenever it pleased, making it all the more deadly.
Four Harmonisers from the Royal Clan arrived right at this time as Re'Kha jumped aside, watching them condense Metal Qi swords immediately. Upon seeing how emission-based attacks were useless against the Mirror Sha, they resorted to close-ranged attacks.
Without any hesitation, the two at the front slashed with their swords, sending the Sha's hand—that intended to attack them—flying away. Another Royal Clan Harmoniser muttered to Re'Kha, "Its mirrors can absorb all emission-based attacks. So, stay away."
"Alright," Re'Kha nodded and distanced herself from the battle, watching two more Harmonisers from the Royal Clan arrive at the scene. In the name of distancing herself, she arrived at the entrance of the room where Ki'Nua stayed, making her actions seem coincidental.
But this way, she was trying to protect Ki'Nua. After all, based on what the Burfuna Ki Clan Elder had said, Ki'Nua was no longer able to act a Harmoniser, for at least a year before she could determine it was safe for her to practice once again.
So at present, Ki'Nua was unable to protect herself. Even if she was still able to use her abilities, all she was capable of was unleashing one Palm Projection. It wouldn't even damage the Mirror Sha. Rather, it could very well be captured in one of its mirrors.

Reinforcements began to arrive at the scene. But as the corridor was rather narrow, it allowed the Mirror Sha a lot of places to hide away from their attacks, causing them to only deal damage to the walls.
Suddenly, it arrived in the corridor and unleashed a total of ten Palm Projections of various elements, prompting everyone to defend hurriedly. The swords of some shattered from the impact while some slid on the floor for a fair distance before stopping.
Using the chance, the Mirror Sha passed through the ground and arrived within the room of Ki'Nua, gazing at the mural as it exhibited a feeling of being relieved. Immediately, it unleashed 10 Palm Projections from its mirrors, destroying the tough auction house walls, making the gap wide enough to bring the mural outside.
Though, the moment it tried to grab the mural, Ki'Nua exited the ground and kicked its face, sending it flying out of the building. She then jumped and landed on the bed, curling at the corner, looking afraid.
The door was broken down as Re'Kha and the group of Royal Clan Harmonisers arrived, looking at the figure of the Mirror Sha outside. They engaged with it immediately while Re'Kha arrived before Ki'Nua, "Are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah," Ki'Nua nodded with a trembling figure. She was currently in her normal form, knowing that Re'Kha had the Wind Qi perception to rely upon. That's why, she took action after the Mirror Sha had destroyed the wall and when Re'Kha had slammed a palm projection on her room's door to shatter it.
Using this chance, she kicked the Mirror Sha out of the room, not giving it the chance to take her mural away. Having observed it over the time period, she realised the mural wasn't as simple as she had thought. After all, it was able to create two Ghost Qi Magic Artifacts from scratch, naturally.

So, it was a priceless treasure to her. She had zero intentions of handing it over to her enemies, foes that she had vowed to hunt down.
"It is dangerous to remain here. We must move away." Re'Kha said, intending to drag Ki'Nua away when the other party shook her head.
"You know how I've always had an interest in these things right?" Ki'Nua said, pointing at the mural, "As I was studying this, I could feel that the effect it exudes can also be helpful to the Sha. Similar to us being able to devise a Pranic Art based on the feeling it radiates, the Sha might also be able to birth a new ability through it. That should probably be why they are targeting it."
"What you said…is that the truth?" One of the Royal Clan Harmonisers said, having hurried over due to the commotion, being part of the reinforcements. Upon hearing her, she looked at Ki'Nua immediately.
"Yes, aunt." Ki'Nua nodded, removing her gown to show her identity.
"Ahh, Ki'Nua," The Royal Clan Harmoniser nodded, "If you are the one saying it, it must have some substance. Head to safety immediately."
She said her piece and immediately rushed out of the room, attacking the Mirror Sha, preventing it from closing in on the mural. Unlike the building that was artificially built, the roads were just on the ground.
And, filled in it was Earth Qi. So, every time the Mirror Sha tried to seep through the ground, it suffered damage from the Earth Qi. Moreover, now that they had determined its goal, they could attack accordingly, aiming around the mural the moment the Mirror Sha disappeared into the ground.
But right at this time, followed by a rumble, the Kite Sha appeared at the scene, coiling its ribbons around the mural, intending to lift it up when ice covered it, causing it to retract the ribbons in hurry.
A mass of Ghost Qi condensed into the air as a hair-raising scream resounded. Followed by the scream, a hand condensed by Ghost Qi smashed right in the centre of the Kite Sha, sending it flying away. And, the moment she laid her eyes on the newly arrived blank space, Re'Kha shuddered as her expression exuded killing intent.
A fourth Sha had appeared at the scene!

Dreamer/Leveler

Every time he goes to sleep he switches worlds. Portals are popping up everywhere, allowing access between Earth and the world of Vera.

Prepare for an RPG fiction full of magic, action, a touch of romance, and the author's own dry humor. When the modern technology of Earth meets the medieval magic of Vera, which culture will invade the other world first? When the army rangers of the United States collide with the members of the Hunter's Guild, who will win? Updates on Wednesdays/Thursdays Cover is my own creation. Tips to reading: This is my first book, so cliches and tropes are used as the base and then expanded upon. My intention is to make it a casual read but deep if you decide to look closer. I'm not a people person, so my focus and purpose for writing this is to explore the world building and magic system, not necessarily the characters. There won't be a villian until the postgame ;) Author's philosophy: I took an professional personality inventory (through a community college back in 2018) and was categorized as a "double-checker." I'm never satisfied with the work that I complete, and never want to share it with anyone. But this book is a challenge to myself! As a rule of thumb, I will only add to the story. I can't remove elements I've already included (unless absolutely, absolutely necessary). PS, I'm a native English speaker.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.
