Is That A Wisp? Chapter 588
Advertisement
On the second day, things started the same way. However, just one hour after the start, the Void Breaking Realm level beast already advanced. Krune and Iem looked at that as they kept their barrage of ordinary attacks. Finally, four hours later, the Divine Path Realm level demon beasts also charged forward.
Obviously, the Divine Path Realm cultivators also stepped forward to block them. Krune and Iem didn't attack those stronger demon beasts, though.
"If we want to inflict damage to them, we will need to use more Godly Energy than what we can recover. Let's keep focusing on the weaker ones instead. It will free the Void Breaking Realm cultivators, who can then support those at the Divine Path Realm ones."
Iem nodded.
"I also thought the same. In any case, the 15 to 20 meters Rarin Worms will probably enter the fray soon. So we won't be able to help them for long."
Even though Iem said it, their help against the attacks had made things much easier for the city. Halfway into the day, the demon beasts at the Divine View Realm level began to move as well. Seeing that, all the Divine View Realm cultivators stepped forward. Obviously, Krune and Iem too.
A Divine Path Realm female cultivator was fighting a four-pincers scorpion when suddenly, the ground under her began to tremble. Knowing what that meant, she immediately jumped back with all her might. Still, she was hit by the Rarin Worm that had just emerged from the ground. The Scorpion didn't waste the opportunity and pounced at her. But just as she was about to be cut in half, a flash of lightning appeared beside the Scorpion.
*Zap!*
The Scorpion hissed in pain as it fell on the ground, not being able to move a single step anymore. The female cultivator only had enough time to see a rainbow-colored hair as it flashed away. The next time he appeared, he was already beside the Rarin Worm that knocked the female cultivator.
Naturally, that flash of lightning was Krune in his human form. Krune was still using the five primary elements, not touching at the Purple Tribulation Lightning's power at all.
*chiiii...*
Krune touched the Rarin Worm's body but didn't use lightning this time. This is an earth type demon beast, so it was innately resistant to it. Instead, the body of the Worm began to freeze at high speeds. Before the Rarin Worm could even react, it had already become an enormous frozen statue.

Somewhere near Krune, Iem's legs and arms looked just like crystalline sculptures. However, they moved just like a normal person's limbs. Also, they were fused with the power of elements and laws. This time, Iem wasn't only using his body, but Godly Power as well. That made him much stronger than when he fought his first Rarin Worm.
*Bang, Bang, Bang!*
With just a few punches and kicks, the Rarin Worm fell on the ground. Anyone could tell that it was as dead as it could be. Iem didn't waste time as White Lightning appeared on his body, and he flashed beside the next one. Without a doubt, that new Rarin Worm would suffer the same outcome as the last one.
Krune and Iem moved everywhere on their battlefield. The other Divine View Realm cultivators couldn't compare to the two of them at all. Most of them had to go all out just to barely achieve victory, but those two made it look effortless. It's a wonder how they would feel if they found out that Iem and Krune were far from showing their real power.
As mentioned before, the higher the demon beast's level, the smaller their numbers. The same was for the cultivators. That being said, there were just so many of them on the battlefield. With Iem and Krune's rampage, these levels of Rarin Worms began to disappear after three hours of battle. The cultivators in the small region where Krune and Iem were dispatched could feel their burden greatly reduced.
Seeing that their help wasn't needed in this place anymore, Krune and Iem moved to another battlefield also in the southeast of the city. Elder Huan was still observing from far away, but he didn't try to intervene. Those two would indeed be of more help somewhere else now that they almost cleaned that part. If anything, he was happy to see that.
Krune and Iem's reason for doing so much was pretty simple. When the battle finished, the two of them would say that they are too tired to help and would like to return to the Godly Tower to recover first. Seeing how the two of them had performed in the beast horde, the elders probably wouldn't deny their request. Although they are helping people, they are also helping themselves. Last but not least, combat experience was also vital for cultivation, so this beast horde more than fulfilled this requirement.

By the end of the day, Krune and Iem had helped five different battlefields in the southeast. As one can expect, their names began to spread around between the cultivators. They couldn't care less about it, though. As long as they can complete their objective, that would be fine.
This time, even though the day had already passed, the beast horde attack didn't stop. It was just like Huan said, the beasts could continue if they felt like it. As easy as it might be for Krune and Iem to dispatch Divine View Realm level demon beasts, these many hours of battle are also making them tiring. Elder Huan noticed that and sent them a Divine Sense Message.
"You two, retreat now and recover your powers. You already did more than enough for a day. Once you finish, I'll call you out again. We have prepared Godly Energy Gathering Formations behind the city wall, too, so just go there."
Iem and Krune smiled, and they immediately went back. Even if Huan hadn't sent them a Divine Sense message, they would have retreated soon regardless. Once they arrived at the Godly Energy gathering formation, all the cultivators around looked at the two with respect. They opened a path and left the center the formation for the two of them to use.
Krune felt a little awkward with the treatment. However, he really needed to recover his Godly Energy, so he didn't refuse it. Iem didn't care, though. In his eyes, with everything he had done, it was evident that he should be allocated the best place to recover.
As they absorbed Godly Energy, Krune and Iem also exchanged Divine Sense messages.
"How is it?"
"Pretty much good. After analyzing the situation until now, I can tell that there is no chance of the city falling in this beast horde."
Krune and Iem were afraid of one thing. Since Cinna City had not received cultivators from outside in the last thousands of years, they thought that perhaps their appearance would change something drastically. Maybe, this beast horde would be dangerous to the point where the city could even fall. However, the beast horde seemed to be far from being able to do so. Naturally, Iem and Krune felt relieved after confirming that.
"In that case, let's fight to our heart's content. It is a good opportunity to get used to our Godly Energy manipulation and the restrictions of the Godly Path Realm. I can feel that the more I fight, the better I get at controlling it. Still, I'm far from perfection."
Krune nodded.
"That's to be expected. People and beasts who are born here use Godly Energy from the very start. But in our case, we used Spiritual Energy, Elemental Energy, and Chaos Energy during our entire lives. We relied on three types of energy to battle before. Now we have Godly Energy, which can substitute all the Mortal Realm's Energies. It would be impossible to get used to it in just two to three months."
Krune and Iem then spent their next hours trading insights about cultivation. It was really good when you have someone with similar talents as yourself to talk.
Finally, the two of them got up and returned to the wall six hours later. In fact, they had recovered a lot earlier. However, it would be too suspicious if they showed themselves so fast. They already got enough attention as they are at the moment, there wasn't a reason to extrapolate.
Once they looked at the battlefield, they noticed that even bigger demon beasts joined the fray. Sure enough, those were demon beasts at the Semi-Divinity and Divinity Realm levels. Krune and Iem noticed that elder Huan's eyes were cold as he looked in a specific direction. After following his gaze, they noticed six underground demon beasts far behind the battle lines. Surprisingly, they weren't that big. The Rarin Worm in their middle was even smaller than the Divine View Realm level ones Krune and Iem fought. However, they could tell that they were anything but simple, and it wasn't just their different colors.
Seeing how serious Elder Huan was taking those beasts, it wasn't hard for Krune and Iem to guess that those were the Transformation Realm level ones. That is the highest level that both demon beasts and humans could achieve in this underground world. Krune's Divine Sense and Mental Energy couldn't go so far. Still, he could tell that the Godly Energy around their bodies moved restlessly. Krune was sure that he wouldn't be a match to those beasts at all. If anything, even running from them would be something hard to accomplish.

MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)
