Chapter 75: Ashura's Battle

The black raven with its beak wide open swoops past all the falling pills, swallowing them as he flew past.

Instantly the black raven had a surge in power and had a black and red cocoon around him, and all the beasts could see was its two glowing red eyes that radiated through the cocoon.

Suddenly the entire cocoon and the surge in energy were all sucked in by the small black bird as blindingly light radiated from the raven.

The beasts looked up in the air in confusion, worry and awe.

A loud bird caw resounded throughout the area as the light subsided, revealing the black raven who looked exactly the same as it did before the whole commotion.

[They dare to look at me as if they are superior and underestimate me. I will show the billionth of my original true power in this form, which is more than enough to decimate them] angrily declared Ashura within his mind.

All meanwhile Lex was within the mindscape, that allowed him to look around even though he was unconscious, attentively watched Ashura, curious about what he was capable of.

While Lex had unconsciously cultivated and unlocked the Mental Void Method, he didn't provide a lot of the energy to his Soul Pet and was unsure whether it was a good investment, which is why he was watching so closely to test the worth of his Soul Pet.

Ashura had ingested 7 Mortal Energy Recovery Pills at once, but seemed unaffected in the slightest.

SWOOSH

In a burst of speed the small black raven had swerved around all the beasts and appeared behind the two beasts that were still on top of Lex, who was in a state that could be fatal.

Lex with his strong perception and eyes after integrating with the Eye System was unable to follow Ashura from within the mindscape and all he saw was a black blur that seemed to fuse with the shadows.

Before the beasts could react, Ashura used his small black wings that seemed to become extremely sharp and power and slashed two beasts who were holding down the unconscious Lex.

It was a deep wound but wasn't enough to kill them, but the pain was enough for them to jump away in retreat, which was Ashura's purpose.

[If this stupid kid dies, my soul will dissipate as well and I won't have the chance to get my revenge] thought Ashura to himself, frustrated about the situation he was.

The speed and attack from the small black bird which they underestimated, shocked the beasts and Lex who was watching from his mindscape.

Ashura who hovered over Lex's body and the black raven seemed to split into two.

The wings of the bird began to separate and each side of the bird formed another bird identical to Ashura.

"Amazing" exclaimed Lex in the mindscape watching his Soul Pet clone itself.

{Ding, your Soul Pet has unlocked the cloning ability and the more it uses it the more powerful the ability will become and the more applications it will have} announced the system.

Lex realised how stupid he was to underestimate Ashura who he knew had a weird link with the Originator Eye Demon and strengthened his body massively when the Eye Demon was in control of his body.

[I only cloned once and I am struggling, this form is so weak and I need to help that stupid kid get stronger quickly so that I can get stronger as well and can go and get my revenge] decided Ashura to himself.

Ashura's origin was still unknown but he seemed to hold a deep hatred for someone or something and so did the Originator Eye Demon.

The clone seemed to be identical in every way to Ashura and one wouldn't be able to tell who was the real one and who was the clone.

[System how does this clone skill work and which one is the clone] asked Lex.

{Ding, it is a skill that splits the user's body into 2 and can be split multiple times, but as they are split, the energy is split between them as well and the skill requires energy to active.

The skill has many advantages such as those with a lot of energy can split into multiple bodies and have the advantage in numbers. However, the biggest downside is that any pain experienced by the clones will all go to the user after the skill is deactivated and if a clone is killed the energy it had would dissipate and the user will lose a large amount of energy and experience the agonising pain of death.

Although they would still be able to recover the energy and it won't affect their cultivation level if they were able to recover from the mental effects} the system explained.

Hearing this Lex realised how much potential the skill could have, but how risky and dangerous the skill was to use.

Meanwhile, the two Ashura's were flying around the beasts at incredible speeds leaving behind only a black blur as they slashed the beasts with their wings as they flew past.

The beasts huddled back to back hoping to defend themselves and cover each other's blind spots, and despite it being a good idea, they still couldn't track the black ravens with their eyes and they were small and fast making them hard to hit.

With gashes all over their bodies, the beasts were losing blood at rapid speeds and were already fatigued due to the wild battle with Lex, making them on the verge of collapsing and dying.

It was a very degrading experience for Ashura, having to fight indirectly and in the form of a bird, but for Lex, it was an amazing battle to witness.

After less than a minute of continuous slashing of the beasts, they formed a puddle together under them and one by one they began to collapse like a house of cards.

The battle ended so quickly and Lex didn't clearly see what happened, but understood how his Soul Pet had defeated his opponents and was still closely watching the two birds who hovered next to each other.

As the touched wings, the began to connect and fuse and became a single black raven.

The black raven, that seemed to be low on energy and fatigued, flew over to Lex's body and with it's talons held Kano, the white robes Lex was wearing, and flapping its small wings as fast as it could it dragged Lex's body back towards the orphanage.
