Chapter 127
Facing the monsters and beasts relying on speed, Michelle frowned a bit in thought as she stared at them. The beasts and monsters didn’t attack her just yet, waiting for her to take the first move. They had seen her kill off most of the beasts and monsters that came alongside them, so they were able to understand that she was dangerous. Thus, they didn’t dare act rashly.
Michelle could guess what the monsters and beasts were planning, so she decided to use the first move to test their speed. She knew that all of them would be troublesome to fight, but she wanted to see which would be the least troublesome and which would drive her crazy. So, in the blink of an eye, she sent the ice spears all around her towards the creatures at the highest speed she could make them fly at.
Most of the creatures were able to dodge, some barely, some easily, but there were a few who got hit or at least grazed by the ice spears Michelle threw, making her smile a bit. She would take care of those first before going for the faster ones.
When the creatures dodged, they instantly attacked back, knowing that Michelle would start attacking relentlessly from that point on.
Using her Shadow Spirit Steps, Michelle didn’t have any trouble dodging the attacks as she started preparing for her next attack, slowly moving the spirit energy within her to activate a skill she liked very much. But she had to be careful so the creatures didn’t realize that something was off, so she kept summoning ice spears and throwing them out, making the creatures think she was focusing solely on the spears.
The skill Michelle wanted to use was very easy to activate, and she had already used it a few times since she had learned it, but at the moment, she wanted to use it on a large scale, so she needed much more spirit energy than usual to start it up. And she wanted to not only prepare, but also activate it without the creatures noticing, so she could take the slower ones down without the others realizing. That meant she had to have perfect control over her spirit energy, since some monsters and beasts were very sensitive to spirit energy and would discover the activation of the skill if she made one wrong move.
Constantly sending the ice spears flying at the creatures, Michelle was starting to feel tired, but she had finally gathered enough spirit energy to activate the spell and get rid of the weakest creatures, and maybe even some of the more powerful ones.
So she started activating the skill, her eyes gleaming coldly as her maniacal smile widened. Soon, blood would spill all over.
Summoning her sickle, Michelle coated it in her ice element spirit energy and swung it at the few creatures nearest to her, sending them flying back. But that was just a distraction. In that one swing, she used a recklessly big amount of spirit energy—or so it seemed to an outsider—so when she sent her spirit energy into the surroundings, the creatures thought it was the spirit energy from the swing and didn’t think anything more about it, continuing to attack Michelle, some using their claws, some their fangs, and some even shooting balls of spirit energy from their mouths.
What the creatures didn’t realize was that shadows appeared surrounding them, all holding the same sickles as Michelle. Michelle successfully summoned about a hundred Spirit Clones. But with her level of spirit energy being below the Spirit rank, she couldn’t keep them around for too long. And the clones knew that, so they instantly lunged between the enraged monsters and beasts and started cutting them down. They weren’t powerful enough to straight-up kill the fastest and strongest ones, but the slow ones were at their mercy and soon died.
When the slower monsters were all dead, the clones kept wounding the other monsters for a while before they ran out of time and disappeared.
Then, Michelle frowned a bit. She could keep fighting the monsters and beasts if she wanted to, since she still had enough spirit energy to do so, but her body was physically tired and she felt the need to rest. But she knew she couldn’t rest until she had taken care of the monsters.
