When Bayi began to allow his true Void Energy to flow into his body, the astute Voidwalkers immediately became aware of it. All of them who were previously enjoying themselves while watching the show quickly changed their tone.
"Erm... Sir Hope. Let's stay calm, shall we? I'm sure these two little fellows do not deserve that, right?
"There should be another solution! Please have more patience, Sir Hope. It's not a good idea to use the Void Energy at a place like this..."
"Yes, I agree that both of them are pretty nasty and shameless but they don't really have any malicious intent. Their status are not that simple as well. I'm sure that if you happen to kill them, you would be raising a lot of unnecessary troubles."
Once the black flame of the Void appeared on the realms of reality, even material like the black gold would be completely burnt out. There was no doubt that those two people's lives would not be spared. Such a situation would have a very sticky end.
At the eleventh hour, it was the Paladin, who finally turned serious again, who gave the most compelling advice, "Sir Hope, the Church is far more sensitive to the Void than you and I imagined. Please don't take any chances! Although I don't know what kind of surveillance methods that they use, but even the slightest bit of shift in the realm could trigger their alarm. When that happens, the merciless judgement party would flock to you. They are neither noble nor honorable. I know that you're not afraid of them but what happens to Mia-chan then?"
When he heard that, Baiyi subsequently gave up that impulse in his mind, transforming the Void Energy that had enter his body into Mana again. Once again, he used the teleportation skill and dodged the attack of his opponents.
Not being able to hold it in anymore, the Archmage finally suggested, "Just use this tactic then! Remember the tactic that the Second Walker and I developed when you first entered the realm? I taught you that quite a long time ago!"
That tactic? Well, it's true that it is very powerful but with the Mana output restriction that I have right now, I wouldn't be able to release it, would I? Baiyi queried.
"Don't you worry! The Second Walker and I have done some improvements to it some time ago and we managed to reduce the requirements. I'm pretty confident that you will be able to cast it now. And oh, by the way, we gave it a new name as well!" The Archmage continued with his explanation, at the same time, he shared the memory that contained the secret technique with Baiyi.
Hmmm... The casting of this technique is quite complicated... Baiyi sighed as he prepared for the casting of the secret technique. According to the design of the First and Second Walker, the technique would require both Mana and Chi Prowess. Even with Baiyi's strength, he still found the process and the procedures to be cumbersome. He could not even continue attacking his opponents. All he could do was maintain his dodging strategy while he cast the technique at the same time.
"I have created over a thousand blades, unknown to death, nor known to life... " 1 In a low voice, Baiyi started to chant the incantation. A series of complex yet beautiful Magical Formation started to form behind him.
"Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows, buried in the stream of time is where your power grows... " 2 Why do all these incantations sound so freaking familiar? Who the heck invented it?! You are basically plagiarizing some other people's invention, do you know that? Baiyi could not help but keep cursing in his heart while he chanted those long and irksome incantation and his one hand that was not holding the sword were making hand seals to facilitate the formation of the Chi Prowess.
Right now, the unusual situation was no doubt noticed by the perceptive duo. The black Soul Armature who stood closest to Baiyi could see the formations behind him that was slowly emerging and he tried to interrupt his chanting. However, even though he was chanting such a complicated incantation, he still managed to dodge all of the attack from the duo effortlessly without letting it interfere with his chanting at all. The hand seals and construction of the formation did not seem to be affected as well.
SH*T! Is this guy that scary? Even a normal sorcerer would need to stand still completely to do the chanting. And with such a complicated formation, it would still be hard for them to perform it while standing! Are all dragon knights from Gouve monsters? The black Soul Armature started to feel chills creeping down his spine. Even with his solid and sturdy armour, it did not stop him from feeling disquieted.
There was absolutely nothing he could do other than to remind his partner, "Be careful, Undine! This guy is preparing for a large-scale formation!"
"What? Casting a large-scale formation in such conditions? Are you kidding me?" Undine was dumbfounded. The situation right now had already far exceeded her comprehension. All at once, she stopped as she was at loss of what to do next. Her attack of Chi Blades came to a halt as well.
It gave Baiyi an opportunity to finish the last part of the incantation. When the Archmage saw the completed formation, he was delighted, "Oh yes! Now that the incantation is done, all you have to do is yell out the name of this technique!"
...Ermmm... I-I-I'm really sorry. I really can't bring myself to do such a thing like yelling out the technique's name... Baiyi said awkwrdly. Then, using a low voice, he quietly whispered the name that the First and the Second Walker was fond of:
"Six Realms Five Planes - The Divine Figure of Kurikara" 3
As his voice faded, the magical formation that was behind him began to flash brightly in fiery white light. A stream of Mana that was accumulated in the formation started to blend together under the hovering Chi Prowess, forming a faint shadow. It was as if somebody was emerging out of Baiyi.
"Be on guard!" The black Soul Armature quickly took big strides to Undine's side and used his body to shelter her. Undine, on the other hand, rapidly took out a few Defense Scrolls so that she would be ready to use it anytime.
Soon, the bright light gradually dispersed, leaving behind the shadow which began to form clearly. Eventually, it no longer looked like a shadow but more life-like instead.
The reason why those two people could not see the figure behind was not because there was something wrong with their sight. It was just that... somehow... that thing was just about as big as Mia's fist…
In accordance with the original design of the secret technique, the figure was supposed to be a demonic statue that should be a few metres tall, with three heads and six arms. With a ferocious and grim look, every hand of the statue would be holding a weapon. It would look absolutely gigantic and vigorous. It would definitely give a stunning visual impact!
However, due to Baiyi's insufficient energy, the demonic statue was reduced to it's current size. The six arms were reduced into two. The original decorations that was meticulously designed had been discarded too. The whole body was left only with white color, making it look like an aged bun with two arms...
After all the efforts that were put in by the First and Second Walker and the long chanting of Baiyi plus the cool name that was given, all it produced was some sort of sh*t like this ? Did those two old men spend most of their inventing time in the naming process instead? Baiyi sighed exasperatedly. Looking at the two people in front of him who was all solemn and serious, he could not help but give a bitter laugh. It was a good thing that the build-up seemed quite terrifying. Look at how scared these two people are right now!
Right now, the imbecile couple were in a very awkward situation. They had no clue what Baiyi just did. But with such a complicated preparation process just now, they did not dare to act rashly as well. In fact, they felt even more perplexed than Baiyi did...
However, since the secret technique was designed by those two powerful Voidwalkers, it certainly must be something that should not be taken lightly. The Archmage looked very pleased with the current situation and said, "That's good, though it's still a little small and unrefined, but at least the degree of completion is still very high. Well then, let me take control of that part of your consciousness."
Yes, that was the most crucial point of the technique. Baiyi would transfer part of his consciousness to the statue that was created by a combination of Mana and Chi Prowess. Then, he would pass on that part of his consciousness to another Walker, which meant that two Voidwalkers would be joining the battle at the same time! It was the quintessence of the technique that was originally named Pseudo-Descent Technique.
Since his opponent was so shameless to the point that they teamed up to attack Baiyi, it was also reasonable for Baiyi to allow his teacher to give him a hand as well. Decisively, he handed over the control of the demonic statue and not long after, he could hear strange gibberish sound coming out from the statue hovering on top of his head...
A moment later, he could hear the Archmage asking him in his mind in a confused tone, "I remember I didn't discard the voice box. It's also something that's within your power range as well. Why can't I make any sound at all?"
. ..Oh... That...! Well, I'd used that magic to secure the sack of gold coins in my stomach! Otherwise, with such a vigorous action, the gold coins would have long scattered all over the place. What? Do you think I'm a money tree giving away free money now? Baiyi answered in defense.
"Erm... Alright then. I'll make do with it." The Archmage went back to manipulating the statue. Then, the white bun hovering on top of Baiyi's head could be seen lifting up his staff and a howl could be heard coming from the inside, " Aoooo aooo aoooo! "
...Erm... That was probably the signal telling Baiyi he could start the attack now...
With no other option, Baiyi had ignored the comedic gesture and took the initiative to charge towards the two people in front.
"Here he comes!" The black Soul Armature said in a low voice as he raised his sword to welcome him. But then, as he was getting closer, a weird " Wah wah wah wah wah " strange cry could be heard getting closer as well. And with no warning, a stream of miniature fireballs could be seen shooting out from above Baiyi's head. The speed was so fast it was like a machine gun and soon after, a barrage of fireballs could be seen hitting the black Soul Armature.
"What the hell is this? " The black Soul Armature quickly raised his arm to block the rain of fireballs. Although the power of those small fireballs were not big and it did not really affect him but the innumerable amount of it greatly hindered his movement.
After a while, another " Wahhhhh wahhhhh wahhhh" sound could be heard before the fireballs transformed into ice missiles, attacking the black Soul Armature with the same intensity.
Baiyi could not help but feel embarrassed over such that situation. He really did not understand his teacher at all. This is obviously just some simple basic magic. Why do you even need to do all those stupid incantations?
