Chapter 73

The spell that Hisashi did was his Analysis Spell called Overlap. At its core, it wasn't as amazing compared to his other Analysis Spell that he considers his trump card. He was merely casting an analyzed spell on top of the previous spell.

Because of this, it was essentially like simultaneously casting two spells at nearly the same time. But given his ability to use different sorcery types, he was able to combine different spells and produce absurd effects that made other people question his power.

With the army in formation, Jin focused fully again. Ren who was timid also readied and looks more attentive. The same is true for the blind swordsman.

"Everyone, stick to your formation. I'm opening it up in three… two…" Hisashi squats down to grab something on the ground and the darkness in his shadow warps. He then jumps as he lunches 30 meters into the air. The monster also turns its body to face Hisashi, as if it felt something.

"One!" Jin's mana then disperses at the golden dome and disappears. As soon as the monster saw the opening, it rushes back to the direction of the hideout, forgetting about the weird feeling it felt earlier. However, just as it rushes to the exit, it stops as it looks above.

In the air, Hisashi was holding some thick and long chains. His body spun in all directions as the chains were engulfed by darkness. Due to this, the now solid monster stops and redirects its movement.

"RAAAHHHH!" The monster roars which was something new to everyone. After several attempts, they have never seen this monster roar. Moreover, it was a deep guttural roar with several layers of different voices in its roar.

'Is it attracted to the dark sorcery in the chains?' Hisashi thought as the man gathers behind him when he stopped his spinning. A wind blast hits his back shooting him to the monster who jumped. As they were about to clash midair, Hisashi's expression changed.

Suddenly, as the two were about to touch, Hisashi's body and his chains start to change. His body disappears as it turns to wind including his clothes. But only a part of the chains changed as the part that was covered by darkness hit the monster.

Hisashi's body rematerializes again as he crosses his arms tightening the hold of the chains on the monster and pulling it down. Just as he was about to land, he felt the tip of his foot lifted from the ground. Before he was about to float away, Ren appears above and kicks the chain, sending the monster and the teen to the ground.

"Old man!" The old man then unsheathes his sword as lightning appears on his blind eyes. Hisashi applies more dark magic to the chains as he pulls a long blade from his dark storage and stabs it in between the chains. He takes out several more and puts it in several more intersections.

*Wooosh*

"Zhantian!"

As the air rush, lightning follows. The barefoot old man moved in one swift motion as he slices the monster, careful not to hit the chains. Dark red blood splashes as a wound appears on the monster's body. Its dark solid body was sullied by a large long opening.

A second later, several more slices appear on the monster's body at lightning speed. The more the Old Man Kai moves his sword to sheathe the sword, the more of these lightning slashes appear. When he finally completes his move, the monster's body fell apart from wounds.

"You destroyed it in one move despite its special body," Hisashi calls out.

"It's not yet over, young man. I don't know how and why you chose to clad your chains in dark sorcery, but we've seen its reaction to it."

Just when he said this, the monster's body quickly regenerates, connecting all its body parts back into one. However, covered in darkness, it wasn't able to reshape its body into a different form

*Creak*

A creaking sound then sounded as they all looked at it. As if powered by something, its body starts to get bigger, and bigger, and bigger until the chain finally snaps. Hisashi also takes out his wooden sword and charges at him when he was stopped.

The dark carcass of the monster creepily crawled from its end to create an arm blocking Hisashi's quick attack. But Hisashi wouldn't just let that happen as a wind blade reinforces the wooden sword, wounding the monster once again.

He takes out his wakizashi and coats it with a fire spell. This time, the monster seemed to have had enough as many hands grew out of its body. Hisashi and the others back out as the monster slams its 'hands' to the ground, causing a tremor.

It even caused a long crack and opening on the ground, making the army change formation. Jin orders everyone as Kai, Ren, and Hisashi were busy fighting the ever-regenerating arms. Some of the soldiers even shoot their spells and stab the monster with their spears.

However, most of it is useless as the monster completely ignores it, merely hitting them as collateral to its every single movement. Even the gush of wind from the swings of its arm blows some of the soldiers away.

"I'm going in! Old Man! Cover me!" Hisashi said as he slices his way into the hands, with yellow streaks of lightning following him. Dozens of the nearly hundreds of arms flew faster than they regenerates.

As Hisashi finally reaches the monster's body, he sheathes his two swords as he takes out his real katana. Lightning boots also cover his legs as he suddenly flashes upward. With his sword above his head, his face turns serious as he gathers his mana into his sword. Fire, wind, water, earth, and even lightning start to engulf the sword as they all fight with each other.

"Analysis Magic: Merge" Hisashi said in his breath as all of them combines into one, creating a sword of elemental blade. Its mana was so dense that it almost lit up.

And with one fell swoop, Hisashi succumbs to gravity and slashes the monster apart. He didn't stop with one, as he proceeds to slice its body again, moving his body in a constant flow of motion nonstop.
