Another Almost-Fallen, Sacred Beast Protector Perpetual Black Turtle (3—Last Part)
After being sent spiraling upwards into the skies filled with vibrating waves whose area extended for around 1,000 meters, Yun Beishang's use of his Grateful State of Mind Ruby necklace saved both his and Rosey's some HP. Especially Yun Beishang who would've been left with only 930 HP should he have allowed that Earthly Stomp effect in the air affect him. Naturally, he protected Rosey along with the use of his Mental Power and Heart Connection hidden stats. He would't leave it to another limit testing to see whether or not he could protect her. Nevertheless, both of them were left with around 2 seconds and, as Yun Beishang HP lowered to 50,930, his body was plummeting down onto the quaking floor of the Black Turtle's Sacred Underground.
Whooooosh~!
Falling from mid air, approximately 57 meters up into the air, Yun Beishang had previously forcefully remained in a stance that would allow him to fall back down to the ground in the pose that he desired. So when he exited the aerial waves and waves of strong but seemingly peaceful vibrations and began descending onto the ground, both his legs were as if about to take a seat on a tall chair with Rosey tightly held into his chest with his left hand while the cute little thing had a purposely made stupid face with her tongue out.
As they kept descending and reached only about 30 meters before reaching the quaking, jelly-like floor; Yun Beishang regained his mobility and without giving much of a care, extended his right hand towards the already a few hundred meters away spinning turtle shell. His Mind-Sensory suddenly began to turn back towards him as he did so, Unparalleled Manipulation being exerted to a full of as it immediately arrived before him just as Yun Beishang was merely 15 meters before the hitting the quaking floor.
Vwong!
Thud.
Yun Beishang's eyes then turned very damn fierce as his right hand gripped powerfully. Even though he called upon his weapon with his Unparalleled Manipulation skill, he didn't made the Mind-Sensory Whip let go of the Black Turtle and instead had it extend as much as possible. By the time it had reached his right hand, as the turtle shell never stopped spinning across the quaking, jelly-like floor like the softest and most elegant of ballet dancers, the whip ended up coiling strongly around it as it was initially grappled at the edge of the turtle shell's edge itself.
-6,375!
At this moment, the cost for using the Transcended Divine Burst skill activated, which Yun Beishang reacted by using his left hand to take out a Kindness Intermediate-Potion and gulped it down right after.
Gulp.
+21,037, +500, +500, +500, +500, +500, +500, +500.
Though his HP was already fully regenerated with just the 33% instant HP recuperation of the Kindness Low-Potion, the subsequent aided him a little as another few numbers hovered above his head as his body was forcefully pulled towards the Black Turtle's shell, still spinning rapidly enough that only Rosey would be able to avoid it at full Movement Speed. Though the Mind-Sensory Whip's body had thinned out to becoming merely a few millimeters thick, it was as unbreakable and potent as before, not having a single crack nor weird sounds while it shrunk back towards the Black Turtle.
At this moment, Rosey had half her body inside Yun Beishang's Petals of Destruction Suit Aegis on his collarbone, ready to send a Destroying Dooming Bloom towards the Black Turtle while Yun Beishang's body was like a sitting position with his knees pointing to a 30 degree into the sky. His back was slightly hunched while his head was fully concentrated onto the turtle shell which was rapidly enlarging before his and Rosey's eyes.
Left with no other choice, Yun Beishang could only pull back both his fists, preparing to send them forwards against the turtle shell while his Mental Power was concentrated on holding the Mind-Sensory Whip with its pure Mental Prowess, something he had not exerted in so long. His eyes were still very damn fierce as only a few dozens of meters were separating it from Rosey and Yun Beishang, as he then acted.
Tongqiu's Rain Destruction!
Immediately after, just as Yun Beishang was going to land his fists on the turtle shell, 200 shadows of his own fists appeared all around him. As he finally sent forth his two fists, more and more began to appear as the already existent ones plummeted towards the turtle shell.
-1,000, -1,000.
-200,000.
And right after waiting for her big brother's fists to land on the turtle shell, Rosey had a pale-rosy light glow on top of her head, her 4 well grown up petals already fully matured emitted an ever so powerful energy before sending it straight out as Rosey was wearing her scary and terrifying expression, still wanting to beat the shit out of the damned turtle shell!
Rosey, Destroying Dooming Bloom!
KA-POM!
-52,062,000.
Black Turtle's HP: 59,7055,200/1,150,000,000.
With the powerful blast from Rosey's Destroying Dooming Bloom, Yun Beishang was sent powerfully sent backwards yet as the explosion itself was completely harmless. But the Mind-Sensory Whip was still coiled around the Black Turtle's shell, so as Yun Beishang once again used Unparalleled Manipulation to bring it back towards him, this time the entire Half-Divine Mind-Sensory Pseudo-Artifact itself as it went back to its true body.
Rumble... rumble... rumble.
Yun Beishang then slowly descended onto the floor, his steps noiselessly feeling the stable and not damage at all floor with the sole of his feet as a jumping Rosey then went out of his Aegis and moved to his right to slightly in front of her big brother. At this very moment, however, the turtle shell stopped moving altogether. A moment later, putrid legs and a strange aura consisting of a brownish and dark red began to come out from each of the holes of the turtle shell, it slowly created a humongous cloud of the very same color around the entire turtle shell to cover whatever was happening to the Black turtle.
Psssssssss-pzzz~.
Yun Beishang and Rosey looked at each other, as their Mental Power wasn't able to go through that brownish and dark red cloud, but shortly after, that very same cloud began to disperse, slowly as well.
Whistle... whistle... whooosh-POM!
POM!
POM!
POM!
WHOOSH!
Rumble~!!
There was only silence for a little while, as even a slight whistling sound reached the two's ears thanks to that. But their sights were then taken by a silhouette amidst the brownish, dark red cloud while it was still slowly dissipating. The turtle shell suddenly gained a disgusting worm-like 'thing' coming out of one of its sides, as it then fell directly onto the ground and made a thunderous stomping sound; but not powerful enough to rival those of the Earthly Stomp from before.
Consequently, another 3 of such worm-like, decrepit and putrid 'things' came out; another one from the same side as before, while the other two from the exact opposite side to those from where the first one came down onto the ground. Right after those wormy 'things' finally landed on the ground altogether, they worked at the same time to elevate the entire body of the Black Turtle, while an even more disgusting, serpent-like 'thing' went out from a third side of the Black Turtle's shell.
What seemed to be a dozen meters long, slim and sickly legs of the Black Turtle, turned out to be 4 disgusting and abhorrent several dozen meters long legs instead. If the distance between the floor and the ceiling was of approximately 5,000 meters long, then those legs were of an actual length of 300 meters long!
To boot, the tail that appeared to the opposite side from where Yun Beishang and Rosey were standing, extended to approximately 2,000 meters in length while its thickness was mostly of around 10 meters only, with its base being of merely 20 or so. It flapped and twisted, contorted and lunged as fast as a snake and as fearfully as a detestable monster. Its sharpness even when it came to its entire length, was much more dangerous to Yun Beishang than any sharp-edged weapon he had faced before; comparable to the Azure Dragon's claws even.
At the same time that its body rose 300 meters up to the air, the brownish, dark red cloud was swooped away at once, allowing the duo to see the gargantuan's head come out at once from its turtle shell.
"..."
"..."
Yun Beishang and Rosey were equally speechless, looking at the seemingly 'small' and shy head as it very slowly moved out of its hiding place; its turtle shell. The duo became increasingly stern and cautious when the length to which the head was extending its own neck outside of its shell exceeded the 10th kilometer. As its tail was still moving around, about and on and on and on recklessly; its head slowly moved towards any angle as it descended mostly, but was 'forced' to lower its altitude at some points so that it wouldn't collide against the ceiling.
Gulp.
Brr-lp.
Looking at the thing, Yun Beishang gulped down in a bit of a predicament; while Rosey made a slightly uncomfortable and painful expression as she tried to instinctively mimic the actions of her big brother, her role model. But she was still somewhat with the leftover trauma from that tragic day where, fortunately, Yun Beishang rescued her; one way or another and safe and sound.
Looking back down at her, Yun Beishang ignored the eerie and lifeless gaze from the gargantuan Black Turtle, lowered himself down to Rosey's height, bending his left knee and placing his right one on the ground and then patted her lightly. He smirked, as he glanced at his Little Rosey who he couldn't help but remind himself of the powerlessness from that day. And even of today. Though so many days, weeks and even months have had already gone by, he was still met with the same kind of powerlessness; the same kind of uselessness when encountering such a powerful being that was clearly beyond his scope.
What could he do?
The rage from before; intensified. The unwillingness from remaining still to the shock of the Black Turtle's skills and HP; became instead an even stronger point of rage. And his heart, pounded violently once to harm himself, then bringing his thoughts back that were according to his now boiling blood.
"Let's go," whispered Yun Beishang to Rosey. He furiously commanded the Mind-Sensory into a compact bow while he was still standing up from his previous half-kneeling position; in response, his Half-Divine Mind-Sensory Pseudo-Artifact took only half of the time needed to transform into whatever he wanted. It would always take about 15 seconds or so. But now, a bit more of 7 seconds and a bit less than 8 seconds was all it took to fully transform into whatever he wanted.
With a raging face, lowered brows and a pair of extremely fierce eyes; Yun Beishang summoned 3 Falling Rain Arrows into his right hand from his Master's Bag and nocked them to the red-colored bowstring like a demonized bowman!
'SHOT.' Was but his one and sole thought as he perfectly sent loose his 3-arrowed wideshot towards the lifeless gaze; light blue ghostly eyes of the gargantuan head of the Black Turtle. They seemingly picked out his Intent from his gaze as they suddenly turned more faster than ever before even as he only lightly pulled on the bow even in his raging state and as he did not even incorporate them with his quite vast Mental Power; hence not being able to grant them of his Mental Prowess.
WHISTLE! WHISTLE! WHISTLE!
Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk...
-1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000, -1,000...
-6,375!
"Hmph." Yun Beishang emotionlessly snorted out, his heart vehemently wishing to lung out of his chest and partake in this fight to annihilate this nuisance of life form in front of himself; the Evil Immortal. Not even the Transcended Divine Burst took the slightest of concentration from his extremely fierce eyes as he was already nocking to his bowstring, another 3 Falling Rain Arrows.
"PTRRRRRR!!" A terrifyingly looking, scary Rosey took out her claws and fangs as her cute little face could make even the strongest-willed beings to shiver upon simply gazing at her. She fully displayed her Movement Speed to its max 300% while Yun Beishang rushed up to his maximum 239% Movement Speed while still shooting his arrows.
He wasn't using any of his Mental Power to direct his sent loose arrows nor to change their trajectory or speed with it; only using his Intent to allow them to fly freely without the care of the laws that would it make it impossible for them to travel so much and so fast. And even then, as his aim and accuracy was left untouched with only their speed being vastly enhanced from before, they all perfectly hit on the Black Turtle's head without mistake, some even penetrating slightly into its skin with another few following arrows hitting the same spot.
As he kept on sending more and more three-arrowed wideshots in a perfect expertise and mastery of itself by his own capabilities, the Falling Rain Arrows kept on exploding into 16 little different arrows to keep on skewering the Black Turtle's neck and limbs.
The Black Turtle seemed pointlessly uncaring, as arrows rained its way; it simply stood there and gazed indeterminately towards the pestling little insect in front and below itself. On the other hand, its gaze was greedy and lustful when it turned towards Rosey, it could simply assimilate that little body as a delicious meal that will not only be delicious indeed; but also increment its power, and become stronger and ever more terrifying.
Such an impossible motion of even thinking to let go of such a sudden and free gain of power in such a short time wasn't even there, the Black Turtle opened its mouth, appearing to lustfully smile at the little thing that was approaching him while its lifeless, ghostly light blue eyes showed off powerful glints of greediness to themselves. Then it acted.
P-vommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
WHISTLE! WHISTLE!-
'Huh?' Yun Beishang suddenly sensed the extraordinaire of the change in situation, feeling like half the world just changed for some reason; by someone's acts...
"!!!"
'Rosey!' Yun Beishang thought very well, his eyes enlarged as his heart shook, but at the very same moment that he felt everything about to go wrong, wrong and wrong; the strange sensation finally occurred and Rosey also knew it.
Pwaaaaaaang~.
Feeling his body slow down and seeing Rosey's little body suddenly become 2 times worst than a brand new player, Yun Beishang then became petrified when he heard the system notification's sound ring out, one after the other.
*PING*...you've been affected by Gravity Stomp, your Movement Speed is reduced by Slow in 85% of its total value. Physical Defense and Magical Defense have been reduced by 20% and all and any Damage Reduction effects are useless on you.
*PING*...you've been affected by Gravity Stomp, your Movement Speed is reduced by Slow in 85% of its total value. Physical Defense and Magical Defense have been reduced by 20% and all and any Damage Reduction effects are useless on you.
At the same time that those system prompts appeared, Rosey's body was tightly locked by the gaze of the gargantuan's head and eyes, a powerful but self-harming energy coming out of its eyes and mouth. Then, a noiseless, shadowy ray of light was shoot from its mouth and eyes towards the front of the center of its head; before another shadowy but now also dismal ray of light shoot towards Rosey.
Rosey was just about to teleport herself back to Yun Beishang's side, easily escaping this type of fate, but at the moment she teleported; the ray of light followed her seamlessly. Enshrouding the both of them at the same time, seeing this, the Black Turtle's jaw opened up to a total vertical shape, completely grotesque; out of sorts. This queasy feeling rapidly overtook the two of them, they began feeling nauseous while Rosey felt the worst about to happen to herself.
Yun Beishang, naturally, wouldn't let that happen, whatever it was; like it was nothing. So he used his three Hidden Stats to cover her, and only her; as he spared no effort to only care about her as he rendered himself completely vulnerable.
GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~.
Seemingly jokingly and mockingly; the gargantuan head laughingly upturned its head while its putrid neck horrendously bulged, protruded and jutted nonstop, squelching sounds sounding out as if it was a bell but instead of ringing out beautifully, it made one's ears turn into mush. Then, the startlingly ugly visage, skin and baleful energy around its head began to dive deep down towards the two of them.
Meanwhile, Yun Beishang's system prompts placed his own heart fully in awe; he was dumbstruck.
*PING*...Martyr Black Turtle, Almost-Fallen has transferred the Slow affecting the host towards host's Pet 'Rosey'.
*PING*...Martyr Black Turtle, Almost-Fallen has transferred the Slow affecting the host towards host's Pet 'Rosey'.
*PING*...Martyr Black Turtle, Almost-Fallen has transferred the Physical Defense -20% and Magical Defense -20% debuff from the host to host's Pet 'Rosey'.
*PING*...Martyr Black Turtle, Almost-Fallen has transferred the Physical Defense -20% and Magical Defense -20% debuff from the host to host's Pet 'Rosey'.
'...hu-.' Yun Beishang felt his eyes froze perpetually at this moment, in his arms he grabbed Rosey while the gargantuan, 25 meters long and 8 meters wide head of the Black Turtle opened up surrealistically with its jaws vertically opened towards the two of them. He was now free to do whatever he wanted for until the Gravity Stomp lasted, but he could only deal 1,000 damage per hit! And that was while using either one of his skills unless he used the very few thousands upon thousands of Wind Connective Arrows that he had left but... not even that would be enough to kill it though! It even has the Sacred Protector automatic, passive regenerative HP of +2,500 every second, making only his 3-arrowed wideshots to efficiently work. It... was... impossible.
Crack.
"!!!!"
Something happened; something tremendous had cracked out from the constraints of a mortal. Yun Beishang's eyes were no longer just frozen and glowed instead a sparkling; Most Beautiful, Purest of Whites in-between them.
