“Yeah, these things aren’t what I imagined either, brother…!” Athena nodded, as she found herself surrounded by more of them. “Also aren’t they pretty tough? If you don’t tear them to pieces or blow them up, they regenerate endlessly!”
The girl touched the floor, as a Formation expanded instantly around the girl and the monsters surrounding her, as bright light started emerging from within.
“{Divine White Heaven Formation Arts}: {Thousand Sunrays Array}!”
FLAAASH!
One thousand beams of sunlight emerged from the ground, piercing the bodies of the monsters one by one, filling them with holes and making them quickly explode into shreds. Athena’s special technique has only been evolving faster and faster, now she could create Mini Formations to easily overcome various foes this way.
Formations were complicated Arrays of Nodes and Runes created using concentrated Ki and Essence of Heaven and Earth of various elements, and it was connected to the Art of Feng Shui to an extent… therefore they were complicated to create and even slower to make.
However, Athena was simply easily capable of creating Formations with a mere thought, her powers arranging and assembling into immensely complicated forms! Even more, because unlike those from Murim, she was also born with Mana and Spiritual Energy, which further boosted her ability to create these, combining the “science” behind Magic Circle creation with her Formations, forming truly wondrous abilities nobody else could imitate, not even Bing Xue.
“Now I’m getting serious!”
Orion saw his sister and couldn’t help but find she was awesome. And unlike her, the boy wasn’t into complicated stuff like that, he liked to fight head-on and rather recklessly, but just like his future self, he was rapidly polishing such an ability.
“RAAAAHH!”
With a mighty roar, he charged against dozens of Ice Beasts of enormous size, they attacked him with giant tendrils and claws, trying to catch him, however the boy channeled his beastly side, as white fur grew around his arms, legs, and body, and even his human nose turned slightly black, he was slowly beginning to channel a form he was not born with, but that he knew that was there, deep down.
Since the boy had heard about his “future self” being capable of turning into a giant white werewolf, that he had been trying to accomplish that as well, training to his very limits every day, pushing himself with the help of his siblings and his mothers.
“{White Wolf’s Heaven-Slicing Claws}!”
As he roared, his claws grew thrice as long, channeling his beastly side, Orion charged forward, slicing and tearing apart his foes with a single swing of his claws, their bodies being divided into countless pieces one by one, and then exploding into white light.
“RUOOOHHH!”
A dozen Winter-Rank Ice Beasts emerged from the snow as he destroyed that group, resembling strange and monstrous creatures with various long legs, tentacles, and eyes, attacking the boy, trying to stomp over him.
Orion rapidly responded, running around their legs and beginning to tear through their bodies with his technique, clawing wasn’t going to work alone, however, as he quickly manifested his Primordial Essence through his fists, punching the monsters with beastly ferocity and also the delicacy of a master of martial arts, explosions of light resembling small stars emerging with each successful blow.
“{White Wolf’s Star-Eating Fist}!”
Orion’s Aura erupted, resembling a furious wolf rushing forward, his punches blowing through the Ice Beasts one by one, reducing them to shredded, burned pieces of disgusting blue meat, which he didn’t even try to taste as their smell was foul even for a boy of his strength.
However, as he finished off a few, he lowered his guard, several more monsters attacked him, striking his back and sending him flying down.
“Ouch, that hurt!”
He quickly stood up from a blow that would’ve definitely killed someone, as the boy got angrier, a giant black robot manifested by his side, Anubis, overflowing with Spiritual Energy and Bond Power, Hekita had summoned him along, using her Gaoranger Power to strengthen him even further.
“Hekita, Anubis…!” Orion was surprised they were here; he thought they would let him have his fun.
“Orion, these things shouldn’t be underestimated! Let’s work together, okay?” Hekita asked him nicely, as Orion nodded while feeling embarrassed.
“Well, okay! Fine…!” he said grumpily, as he and Hekita joined together to take them down, the Ice Beasts were formidable, releasing freezing auras that weakened other elements.
However, because of Orion’s Primordial Powers and Hekita’s Anubis plus her Gaoranger powerup, they were able to bear with the terrifying cold, rushing through these monsters and overcoming them one by one.
At the same time, Urbosa and Merkite rescued any civilian left they found, while Athena healed them and also continued spreading her Formations, using them to keep the whole anthill from falling, while also keeping the Eternal Frost Domain of the Alien God from spreading further, as this ice was even more lethal than the normal cold outside.
“Mama, can you hear me?”
And while doing so, Athena communicated with Bing Xue, who was in the middle of yet another battle, watching Icebloom fighting Iceblade, who wielded a strange, corrupted power through his Katana, sending Vulcan to help the psychic out.
“I can, loud and clear, Athena. I know there’s a lot going on, but I also know you can handle this.”
“Yeah, but still, Fiery Hair…!”
“I know what’s happening to her, I can free her if you let me connect to her Seal, can you dear?”
“Sure thing!”
Athena rushed towards Mursha and Kalana, who were fighting to defend Fiery Hair, quite easily at that, the teamwork of the Orc mother and daughter duo was superb, burning and tearing through the monsters trying to attack them.
“Athena?!”
Kalana was surprised as she saw Athena running past her, reaching Fiery Hair’s Ice Statue and touching her with her hand, infusing a powerful formation into the statue.
“{Divine White Heaven Formation Arts}: {Great Soul Realm-Binding Array}!”
FLASH!
Bing Xue smiled, as part of her consciousness and soul flowed through the formation and into the Ice Statue- no, rather, inside of Fiery Hair’s very soul by using her daughter as the medium.
