章 19: 5-Star Mortal Knight Mission
Rin's embrace woke me again, the light of dawn had not yet appeared, today is an important day, a litmus test to see if I can walk my own destiny, I could not avoid staying in the tent for a few minutes to meditate, my mind had to be at the optimum point, or I would lose my life.
When I left the tent, saw Rin preparing breakfast and smiled, I had to fight for our future, I could not disappoint her once again. I ate quickly, my hands were already itching, my battle instinct wanted to go out and smell the blood again.
"Rin, let's get going, be careful this time, I'm going to go as far as I can so I'll need some support..." I remembered, as I picked up my spear and started walking.
"Don't worry, I'll always be there when you need me. Rin said as she looked at me with a dazzling smile.
We set out, and after 40 minutes we could see the conquered village, the dawn was already illuminating the battlefield. Rin automatically put the 5 elements seal on my back, I could feel the energy coming into my body, this time I didn't run directly, instead I walked slowly, the guards saw me and a small patrol of 6 barbarians came out of the wall.
The barbarians had the darkest skin, muscular bodies, and their height was not less than two meters, they carried heavy weapons.
Before the vision of a small patrol of barbarians I could not avoid laughing, it seems that they underestimated me, maybe they thought that it was a human who had escaped and returned to try to avenge the village, I did not waste time, my Blood Qi began to spin at maximum speed, the Blood Qi filtered slowly through the spear, giving it a crimson aura.
This time I ran to my maximum capacity, in 10 seconds I was in front of the small patrol, I did not give time to react to them I stabbed with my spear the nearest barbarian, the blow would cross towards his throat, so he moved laterally, but he could not even take a single step, his heart was already pierced by my spear, while absorbing all his blood the 5 barbarians surrounded me, although they were much stronger physically, their strategies left much to be desired.
The barbarians did produce a large amount of Blood Qi, I could not absorb it in a single attempt, so I had to dodge the round of attacks, I was surrounded, so the space was narrow, 3 of the barbarians carried clubs, another a claymore and the last one went with his fists uncovered. The clubs were easy to dodge, their speed was slow, but it wasn't the same with the claymore, I couldn't block it, the barbarians had superior strength in several folds, I couldn't take a hit, or maybe I would lose an entire arm or even my life.
I nailed the spear like a pole and pushed myself upwards detonating the Blood Qi, it was no problem to jump 4 meters in the air, taking advantage of gravity I threw myself towards the barbarian with the claymore, since he could not move, the retreat of a claymore blow that does not reach the target was not a joke, the spear stuck in his neck, ending his life, now I was out of the circle formed by the barbarians was much easier, also the longer the battle lasted better, I needed time to absorb the Blood Qi of the 2 barbarians.
After seeing their two companions die, they launched a cry of alert, it seems that they were not going to risk but they wanted to overwhelm me with their reinforcements.
I had underestimated the barbarians, I was prepared for a strategy of running and hitting, reducing their numbers and cultivating to make myself stronger, so I tried to run away when I expect a large group coming.
The Berserkers live and die on the battlefield, but they do not flee.
I quickly replaced the Blood Qi that had detonated, as there was a lot of blood it was no problem, the 3 barbarians were much easier to handle, in addition they only had clubs, taking advantage of their slowness I focused on seriously hurting one of them while dancing around him, I was cutting his mobility, first looking for tendons and then weak points such as joints, exposed arteries or organs.
When 30 barbarians came out through the gate of the wall, the 3 barbarians with clubs were on the floor, I had managed to reach the 6-stage of Bone Strengthening, my strength was trying to catch up with my speed, for example, although I could cleanly dodge the barbarians I could not make cuts in their skin, it was much harder and the spear would get stuck, so the stabs were my offensive attack in this fight, until I had enough strength.
The 30 barbarians charged towards me, in their eyes the anger and desire for revenge were tangible.
"Rhine, now! I warned, I had only absorbed half the blood of the barbarians, I did not have time to absorb, although the process of strengthening the bones was fast, I had to fill the dantian several times which took some time, so with the remaining blood, I drew the structure of the elemental spell, this time I drew it directly with the blood, so it should be several times stronger, I had already acquired some familiarity with the structure I could modify the size of the spears and the orientation, the position was difficult, because I had to calculate the position of each spear and I had not studied the structure so deeply.
Rin emptied his elemental energy in the construction of the spell and just in front of the barbarian charge he created a barrier of spears, if they charged against them they would be impaled in them, and this is what happened, although the row of 7 front barbarians wanted to stop the barbarians behind did not see the spears and pushed them to their death, the spears penetrated the skin of the barbarians as tofu, their resistance to Qi was null, they were only good in the physical culture, in addition, this time I made the spears thicker, as the trunk of a young tree, the more force received the spears the more they were nailed, thus 7 barbarians died.
I had to absorb as much blood to improve my cultivation as possible, the lances would only last a minute. This was my last plan, to strengthen myself with the first wave to be able to face the others with much more force, the blood of the 7 corpses flew out towards me, I could not absorb more quickly, but I increased the force with which I collected the blood, soon I was surrounded by a sphere of blood, some barbarians had already broken the second line of elementary lances.
I was going crazy with the pain, the blood no longer entered only through the dantian, I took advantage of any minimum space to enter my body, including the pores, my bones were breaking directly, before the Blood Qi surrounded them and changed them but now I broke them with force to replace them, the pain was unbearable, I only needed 10 seconds to absorb all the blood, but my body hurt too much, I was going to lose the reason, my vision was becoming crimson, I could not bear it anymore and I shouted as I advanced towards the barbarians.
I had to discharge all the feeling of pain that accumulated my body, I filled the lance of Blood Qi and threw it forward, crossed the first barbarian, and left another nailed to the ground, and detonated the whole lance, a lotus of Blood Qi could be seen in full view, 4 barbarians became blood by the pressure of Blood Qi, but I no longer had a spear, so I ran towards the claymore, I needed a weapon, meanwhile the blood of the barbarians who had died surrounded me again and infiltrated through my bodies madly, my heart was beating at its fastest rate, the faster it beat the stronger the blood attracted and lost control.
Throwing all caution to the wind I threw myself into the group of barbarians, they were in disorder, the Blood Qi of the explosion of the spear had left stunned the barbarians of the surroundings, injecting the maximum Blood Qi in the claymore I began to make blind blows, my vision was totally crimson, I couldn't tell who was attacking, crimson light beams came out of the claymore, I didn't know if they were hurting or not, but I had to eliminate as much Blood Qi from my body as possible or I was going to lose my mind.
The blood fell like a rain, I had received so many blows, I did not know how many bones were broken, but it did not affect me when I hit, I was still in a blind storm, I just wanted to throw one more blow, I saw less and less, my vision became darker.
I had lost the notion of time, my arms had broken several times by wielding the claymore with a force that surpassed that which my body could handle.
But right at this moment, I felt someone hugging me in the back, I knew this feeling, it was the same hug that woke me up every morning, tears fell on my neck, I released the claymore to the floor, at this moment I understood why being a Berserker was a curse and not a good thing.
