Chapter 102: Rain of Lights

Explosions erupted across the battlefield, casting a crimson glow that painted the chaos unfolding beneath. Fires raged, consuming the landscape and releasing a pungent scent of burning destruction. Yet, the onslaught continued, a relentless crimson streak surging through the battlefield, targeting areas where the monstrous creatures sought refuge. It was a living nightmare, a creature driven solely by a thirst for annihilation.

Amidst the turmoil, the Blue Dragon and a red-haired girl stood, their eyes widening in disbelief as the creature emerged from the earth, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. The creature roared, a provocation to any nearby beings, drawing them into a futile confrontation. Though these creatures attacked with abandon, their efforts proved futile against the relentless force. The creature, revealed as a Hollowfied version of Yun Che, transcended the three-minute limit imposed on its possession by Zangetsu or Hoyuu.

As the creature, now in the form of Hoyuu, fully took control of Yun Che's body, a profound transformation unfolded. Shocking both the Azure Dragon and Jasmine, the Hollow unleashed its power, creating shockwaves that repelled nearby assailants. Charging energy through its hand, the Hollow released a massive red beam, obliterating the creatures in its path with ruthless efficiency. A subsequent landing produced a dense cloud of smoke, gradually revealing the true form of this formidable adversary.

This marked the first complete transformation of Yun Che's body, a form earned through countless battles against Hoyuu. The Hollow's mask, resembling a human skull with dark red stripes, concealed a monstrous humanoid lizard. Four spikes adorned its shoulders, with red linings accentuating its fearsome appearance. The creature, noticeably more muscular than Yun Che, sported sharp claws, three-toed feet, and a long, imposing tail. Yun Che's attire lay in tatters, revealing the remnants of his hakama and strap belt.

The Hollow, distinct from its counterparts, wielded an actual weapon – Yun Che's shikai mode Zangetsu. Each slash cut through the horde of beasts effortlessly, claiming more than ten lives with each swing. Jasmine couldn't help but worry about the consequences of this transformation, but Yun Che reassured her that Hoyuu held control for a maximum of ten minutes – any longer, and the situation would spiral out of control.

Among the terrifying visage of the Hollow, one more detail caught Jasmine's attention – the Heavenly Wolf silhouette, now veiled in red, bore a hollow's mask. The battle had taken an ominous turn, and the countdown to Hoyuu's withdrawal loomed, leaving the fate of the battlefield hanging in the balance.

The voice of the Azure Dragon resonated from atop the tower, its ancient and wise tone betraying a sense of awe and bewilderment. "What kind of god is this? This Dragon has lived for millions of years, and this is the first time I have witnessed such powers. How?… How in the world did he manipulate such massive demonic powers in his body?"

"Manipulate? This is also the first time this princess witnesses this form of his. This time, he is more like a demon compared to his masked form," replied Jasmine, her voice carrying a mixture of curiosity and astonishment. She had heard tales of this form from Yun Che, but witnessing it firsthand was an entirely different experience.

"Then, this Soul Reaper has the bloodline of the gods and, at the same time, has the bloodline of the devils? Heavens! Two heaven-defying bloodlines exist in a single body? What kind of entity has the world brought?"

"Not the gods and devils from this world," Jasmine interjected, capturing the dragon's attention. "He said to this princess that he was from another world. An alternate realm of gods and devils. You can see for yourself that this 'Devil' is far stronger. I am sure you think this one is mightier than the Devils of the Primal Chaos Realm. In that body of his, exist the powers of the Death God along with the powers of the Evil God. Right now, he is manipulating the powers of the Hollow itself, transforming his entire body into one but managing to retain his humanity. A god can turn this whole realm upside down. One day, he might hold the titles of God Emperor and Devil Emperor simultaneously." Jasmine spoke with a sense of foresight, predicting the potential future that awaited Yun Che.

"No wonder. This dragon really chose a correct successor this time but is sometimes quite worried about that existence in his body," mused the Azure Dragon, acknowledging the gravity of the situation.

"Don't worry. That existence exists for the sole purpose of protecting him. Right now, as I said before, he and that existence are merely playing around with these beasts," assured Jasmine, radiating confidence in Yun Che's abilities and the symbiotic relationship with the mysterious presence within him.

Hearing her response, the Azure Dragon turned its head towards her. "You seem to know this existence well."

"Can't say I don't. He annoys me from time to time," Jasmine smirked, recalling her interactions with the enigmatic being dwelling within Yun Che.

==========================

Despite the relentless onslaught, some of the beasts managed to breach the formidable defense of the Hollow, inflicting slashing wounds across its body. However, to the astonishment of all witnesses, including Jasmine, white foam surged from the wounds, healing them instantaneously. The recovery was not just swift; it seemed limitless, reminiscent of Yun Che's Status Recovery skill, but on an unprecedented scale. This regeneration outpaced even the legendary Great Way of the Buddha, or so Jasmine presumed, as she hadn't witnessed its later stages.

The revelation struck Jasmine with a realization: this form possessed an unparalleled regenerative capability. It meant that, even when cornered, the Hollow could ensure Yun Che's survival by instantaneously mending any damage inflicted upon his body. The battlefield had become a spectacle of unstoppable power and mystifying resilience, leaving all who observed in awe of the divine and demonic fusion taking place before them.

--------------------------

[Ding…. Round 2 (Yun Che vs Hoyuu)

Yun Che: 9823

Hoyuu: 11562

Remaining beast: 77511

Time Remaining: 01.03

--------------------------

"Looks like you fell behind, King," echoed Hoyuu's voice in Yun Che's mind.

"Bastard, you had the advantage of cero!!" Yun Che retorted in his own mental realm. He remained conscious throughout the ordeal, a mere passenger in his own body. Still, that didn't stop him from playing the role of a backseat driver.

"It's one of my skills. You never said cero can't be used," Hoyuu shot back with a smug remark.

This marked the second phase of their collaboration. Initially, Hoyuu had unleashed havoc with his original abilities, incorporating his version of the Sky Wolf Slash. Yet, the sheer numbers of the enemy seemed insurmountable. That's when the decision was made to escalate the confrontation. As the first round concluded, Yun Che took a momentary retreat, strategically minimizing his involvement in the beast slaughter. It was a calculated move to prevent Hoyuu from gaining an undue advantage. Now, in their second round, it became evident that Hoyuu had tapped into the next evolution of the Hollow transformation, amplifying both his overall powers and the destructive capabilities of his Cero attacks. The battlefield witnessed a surge in intensity as the duo unveiled a new level of synergy, a deadly dance that promised to leave a lasting impact on the unfolding chaos.

----------------------------

[Ding… The second Phase is over.]

[Ding…. Round 2 (Yun Che vs Hoyuu)]

Yun Che: 9823

Hoyuu: 12789

Remaining beast: 77201

Time Remaining: 00.00 (Next Phase begins in 40 minutes.)

---------------------------

As the notifications subsided, Hoyuu's Hollowfied form began to disintegrate, transforming into a mesmerizing blend of red and black energy. Mask, body, and tail slowly dissolved, leaving Yun Che's body as if a possession had been unceremoniously removed. The aftermath revealed him standing amidst the dissipating energy, his hakama the lone remnant of the form that had wreaked havoc moments ago. Unlike Ichigo's experiences, there were no lingering post-effects; Yun Che stood unaffected, seemingly unperturbed by the ordeal.

"Good luck beating my score, King," taunted Hoyuu before falling into silence once again.

Sighing, Yun Che mused internally, "That guy. Even if I can beat him right now, there's no way I can match the capabilities of that Hollow form. Not to mention I can't use it. Damn, what else can I do?" Lost in contemplation, he failed to notice Jasmine's voice reaching out to him through the Tenteikura. Their connection allowed her to communicate with him as long as he left a strain of his kido on her.

"Looks like you were right about that guy leaving a trail of destruction," Jasmine remarked.

"Yeah, that's his specialty. He always uses some bizarre methods. Well, can't blame him since the last time I let him out was a year ago. So, how was it?" Yun Che inquired about her experience witnessing the full Hollow form.

"How was what?" Jasmine asked, her confusion evident.

"That's your first time witnessing the initial full Hollow form. Hope he didn't scare you," Yun Che clarified, referring to the earlier havoc.

"Hmph, this princess won't be scared by such a thing. Still, I am shocked seeing his true form," Jasmine admitted, her tone reflecting a mix of awe and surprise.

"Oh no, that's not his true form. That form is far more powerful than this. If he used it, I think this realm would be destroyed in an instant," Yun Che corrected her perception.

"Hmph, I don't know how long it'll take until I can gaze at it," Jasmine spoke curiously.

"It's better that you don't. That form might be powerful, but I'm not risking myself using it," Yun Che cautioned, emphasizing the potentially catastrophic consequences of unleashing Hoyuu's ultimate Hollow form. The conversation between them unveiled the intricacies of their shared experiences, leaving an air of mystery and anticipation hanging in the aftermath of the chaotic battle.

Yun Che continued his quest to find a momentary refuge, dispatching the pursuing beasts with ease, thanks to the formidable combination of his Purgatory and the Hollow's mask. The urgency of the situation pressed upon him, and he couldn't shake off the concern of being outpaced by Hoyuu.

"Damn, if I don't find a way to increase my killings, that guy would beat me," Yun Che muttered to himself.

Jasmine nodded in agreement, offering her insight, "Yeah, Getsuga Tenshou and Sky Wolf Slash might be powerful, but those things can't kill thousands at one time. You need something even more potent."

"But how? My kido arts, Evil God arts, haki—all area-of-effect skills, but I need more on a large scale. Something that can take out more than a thousand in one minute. Something… Hang on," Yun Che's eyes widened as a realization struck him.

"What is it?" Jasmine inquired, catching on to the change in his tone.

Yun Che slammed his fist onto his palm, the gesture of someone struck with a bright idea. "My other bloodline skill. Of course, I can use it!!! Why didn't I think about this before?"

"Bloodline skill?" Jasmine wondered, her curiosity piqued.

"Yeah, remember the red bow and arrow I used a while back? That's it," Yun Che replied, recalling their time in the phoenix trial.

"I thought that bow was created using your haki," Jasmine assumed.

"Guess I didn't tell you about this yet. Remember when I said Shinigami are Gods and Hollows are Devils?" Yun Che prompted, refreshing her memory.

"Yeah, what about them?" Jasmine inquired.

"Actually, the gods are divided into two factions. They are known as Shinigami and Quincy. I did say something about this back then but never had the chance to explain it," Yun Che revealed the existence of Quincies.

Jasmine suddenly remembered him mentioning Quincy before. "Actually, you did. I totally forgot about it. Quincy? So you're saying that inside your body right now has the bloodline of Shinigami and Quincy?"

"Yeah, so far, I haven't tapped into my Quincy abilities and form just yet. The only thing I can draw is my Heilig Bogen," Yun Che explained, acknowledging his limited understanding of his Quincy abilities.

"Heilig Bogen?" Jasmine shook her head as the unfamiliar terminology entered her mind.

Unaware that he had unintentionally used German, Yun Che clarified, "My bow. I call it 'Heilig Bogen' or 'Holy Bow.'"

She nodded in understanding. "So, this Quincy race. What are they?"

"I think I have to tell you later as this is not the best time for storytelling. Right now, your words trigger what I need to do," Yun Che declared, manifesting Kojaku on his right hand and stowing Zangetsu back into his inner world. Empowered by Purgatory, his bow materialized as a red one, a stark contrast to its usual aqua blue appearance. The arrows, too, transformed into a matching shade of red.

Continuing, he explained, "When I used this a while back, I noticed this bow had the ability to evolve, but it requires a kill count. So, I stored it away until the right time. Never expected I totally forgot about it after this trial. If you didn't remind me, I'd lose the best chance of evolving it."

"Kill count? So you need to destroy enemies at a certain number for it to evolve?" Jasmine inquired.

"Not quite. Actually, I must destroy enemies using this bow," Yun Che clarified, tapping the bow to reveal its status. The numbers displayed somewhat disappointed him.

---------------------

[Ding….]

Heilig Bogen First Stage (Kojaku)

The basic bow that is usable by all Quincy, is formed by gathering Spirit Force and forming it into the bow on the right hand. The arrows that it releases are also made of the host's Spirit Force. Currently, the host can fire two or three arrows simultaneously.

The requirement to initiate evolution: 16/5000 kills using the Kojaku.

=========

Arrows:

=========

Heilig Pfeil (Holy Arrow): Currently, each arrow consumes One Spirit Force point. No Spirit Force will be consumed if there are spirit particles in the air. The spirit particles will be used to replenish the arrows.

Moon Star Destruction Arrow: Depends on the Spirit Force used to power the arrow.

Looking at his stats, he sighed again. The last time he used this bow was during the phoenix trial. He hadn't even considered using it during the Hollow's invasion. If he did, this bow would have evolved long ago. Well, he did have a lot of weapons to use, and sometimes long-range weapons are easily forgotten. Holding his bow tightly in his right hand, he resolved to evolve this thing. The gap between him and Hoyuu was substantial, and he needed to give his all.

-----------------------------

"So, how many more to your next evolution?" Jasmine inquired.

"Well, not that much," Yun Che shifted his eyes sideways.

"How many?" Jasmine pressed.

"Another 4984 kills," Yun Che admitted.

"Not that much, you say? Wow, you really ignored that poor bow. Why do you need to evolve it? You can just use the methods from before," Jasmine remarked.

"This thing is easier, but I need to get it to the next stage. If that happens, Hoyuu will be left in the dust," Yun Che smirked.

"Whatever it is, you need to hurry up. Time's ticking," Jasmine insisted, emphasizing the urgency.

"I noticed, toots," Yun Che smirked as he prepared himself.

Jumping into the air, Yun Che drew his red bow, forming a Quincy arrow. With precision, he released it into one of the beasts, the arrow piercing it cleanly and leaving nothing but spirit particles in its wake.

"Damn, this might take a while. I really wish I could use my other skills, but the kill count won't go up if I did that," Yun Che muttered as he continued to jump around, releasing arrow after arrow towards the relentless horde of beasts. Each arrow found its mark, more and more creatures falling under his calculated onslaught. Suppressing the urge to go 'Cowabunga' on the beasts, he endured the relentless assault for the sake of evolving his bow.

"Try this on for size," he declared, releasing the powered-up version of the arrow. It easily pierced through more than one beast, and he even employed the Moon Star Destruction Arrow to create a more devastating effect. The kill count was climbing, and Yun Che's determination to evolve the bow drove him to face the onslaught with precision and skill. Each arrow released was a step closer to narrowing the gap with Hoyuu.

--------------

[Ding… Kill count: 150/5000]

--------------

"Damn, it's been a while since I felt the pressure of farming points under a time lock," Yun Che muttered as he attempted to infuse haki to power the Moon Star Destruction Arrow, but suddenly...

--------------

[Ding… Compatibility between host's Moon Star Destruction Arrow and Evil God Third Art "Destroying Sky Decimating Earth"]

[Ding… Initiate fusion?]

---------------

"What the… I know the Moon Star Destruction Arrow was originally Heretic God's power fused with Quincy, but it detected compatibility. Lady luck is on my side today," he exclaimed, pressing the button [Yes] and eagerly awaiting the result of the fusion.

-------------------------------

[Initiating Fusion]

[Fusion Successful]

[Ding… New Destruction Arrow created: Heaven and Earth Decimation Arrow. The empowered version of merging the Heretic God's third art and the host's originally created skill. This arrow carries the destruction capabilities of the host's Evil God third art. However, it will use more Spirit Force compared to Moon Star Destruction Arrow. This arrow also required Haki for it to be successfully used.] 

---------------------------------

Excitement surged through him as he examined the new arrow. "System, how many Spirit Force points are used if I use this arrow?"

------------------

[Ding, the arrow will use 1000 Spirit Force points. The points will increase if the host wants to empower the arrow. However, the consumption of points will be halved if spirit particles are present in the air. ]

-------------------

"Che, the Moon Star Destruction Arrow used 500 points, and even that tires me easily if I use it recklessly. 1000 points means I can use the arrow 70 times before running out of Spirit Force," Yun Che calculated, pulling the line of his bow using Haki. A dark red pulsing arrow suddenly formed between his pulling left hand and his holding right arm. Unlike the usual red Moon Star arrow, this one was completely black with pulsing red energy.

"Cool, I can feel the destruction capabilities of this arrow. Let's test it. Show me what you got. Heaven and Earth Decimation Arrow," he declared, releasing the arrow. The air around him contracted before creating a circular distorted space, akin to firing a railgun. The arrow travelled towards the beasts, leaving a trench and piercing all the creatures in its path. Upon reaching the end of its trail…

BOOM!

The arrow exploded, taking surrounding beasts with it and causing tremors from the distance. The shockwave threw Yun Che off balance momentarily. The system was right; it truly carried the power of the art itself. As he flew towards the sky, he witnessed the area where the arrow hit producing a large crater, and the beasts around it were still dying from its aftereffect.

----------------

[Ding… Kill count: 362/5000]

---------------

Seeing the kill count, he was impressed. "Hmph, this might take a while after all."

For the next two turns, Hoyuu continued using the same Hollowfication method to deal with the monsters, boasting to Yun Che about his killings. Meanwhile, Yun Che endured, shooting arrows to fill the kill count. With each arrow released, he silently vowed to have the last laugh later on.

--------------

[Ding… The fourth Phase is over.]

[Ding…. Round 4 (Yun Che vs Hoyuu)]

Yun Che: 14223

Hoyuu: 35899

Remaining beast: 48201

Time Remaining: 00.00 (Next Phase begins in 10 minutes.)

--------------

"Yo, King. I feel like you're throwing the game. This kind of match is boring though," Hoyuu slyly remarked.

"No, I am not. Have you ever heard the term 'Comeback'?" Yun Che smirked, keeping his plan hidden from Hoyuu.

"How do you expect to beat me after a gap that large?" Hoyuu taunted.

"Oh, I will. I just hope you won't call me a cheater. Tell you what, you can have the first turn and seal your final points," Yun Che proposed.

"Hoo, finally letting me win for some change. All right, I'll accept. It's not that you can beat me anyway. You bastard," Hoyuu retorted as he accepted the offer and jumped into the battlefield.

"Oh, I don't think I am sure about that," Yun Che smirked internally.

With that, Hoyuu pulled the same stunt, causing mayhem after mayhem inside the realm. Since Hoyuu used his Adjuchas mode four times, Yun Che was able to get used to the body's sensation, analyzing the form's capabilities and weaknesses. Due to Hoyuu's usage, he became accustomed to the body, ensuring no problems if he unlocked it in the future. As a finale, Hoyuu unleashed a massive cero in a circular motion, annihilating hundreds of Spirit Beasts along the way. The battlefield erupted with destructive energy, setting the stage for Yun Che's calculated comeback.

----------------------

[Ding… Final Phase begins.]

[Ding…. Round 5 (Yun Che vs Hoyuu)

Yun Che: 14223

Hoyuu: 45965

Remaining beast: 34811

Time Remaining: 00.00 (Next Phase begins in 1 minute)

------------------------

Yun Che completed his transformation, returning to his shirtless and alluring self. Deep in thought, Hoyuu's voice echoed in his mind. "Sorry, King. Looks like it's my win. You don't have to be sour about it."

"I am not. By the way, leaving this much for me? Are you sure? You might regret this later," Yun Che replied.

"Regret? Hahaha. You really like to joke around, huh? With that gap, maybe I should do a victory dance," Hoyuu taunted once again.

"Please don't. You'll make me sick," Yun Che groaned, envisioning Hoyuu doing the Fortnite dance in front of him.

"That's the plan," Hoyuu declared smugly.

Yun Che sighed before summoning his Kojaku with a smirk. He tapped the shining red bow, displaying the kill count once more.

--------------------

[Ding… Kill Count: 4760/5000]

------------------

Jasmine's voice suddenly echoed in his mind. "You sure you know what you're doing?"

"Oh, don't worry. That guy wants a beating? I'll give him a beating," Yun Che replied with a confident smirk. He pulled two more arrows from his holy bow, the formidable Heaven and Earth Decimating arrows. Opting to release them simultaneously, he leaped into the sky before letting them soar into the distance. The pair of arrows streaked through the air and landed amidst a group of beasts, triggering a colossal explosion in the distance. The resulting blasts were expansive enough to seal the fate of the creatures and, more importantly, to bring Yun Che's calculated plan to fruition.

----------------

[Ding… Kill Count: 5102/5000] – Kill Count achieved. The host has unlocked the 'Kojaku' Second Evolution.]

[Ding… Evolution Initiated.]

---------------

Yun Che could feel his right arm pulsing with energy, a vibrant flow emanating from his chest to his Kojaku. Suddenly, the bow blazed as bright as the sun, prompting him to shield his eyes with his remaining arm.

The Azure Dragon and Jasmine were both drawn to the distant radiance, eagerly anticipating another surprise from Yun Che. First, the revelation of the Hollow body, followed by the potency of the black arrow, and now what? Yun Che had been unfurling a series of astonishments, each one surpassing the last, leaving even the most astute observers in awe.

As the light gradually faded, Yun Che discerned that the bow he had been holding had undergone a transformative process. It now resembled a pentacle with both horizontal and vertical lines, a completely refined version of its previous form. What made it even more remarkable was its adaptability, allowing him to use the bow both horizontally and vertically. Intricate lines interconnected the two vertical points and horizontal points, converging at a single focal point. This design innovation provided Yun Che with a new dimension for pulling and releasing arrows, introducing an element of versatility that promised to redefine his combat capabilities.

 -------------------------------

[Ding… The host has attained the Second Stage of Heilig Bogen (Holy Bow). The system has evolved the host's Kojaku (Lone Sparrow) into Ginrei Kojaku (Lone Sparrow on a Silver Cliff). This bow has the ability to fire 1200 arrows per second. The signature technique of this bow 'Licht Regen' is now available.]

[Next evolution: 0/100000 enemies using the Ginrei Kojaku.]

-------------------

[Ding… The host can alter between Kojaku and Ginrei Kojaku for convenience.]

--------------------

Yun Che stood in all his glory, clutching the Ginrei Kojaku in his right hand. The current moment rendered him nearly speechless as he realized he was now in possession of the Second Bow of Uryu Ishida—a bow that even Ichigo himself had humorously dubbed 'bug spray.'

With a smirk playing on his lips upon reading the skill description, Yun Che gave the bow a few confident tosses before exclaiming, "Hell yeah! Now all I need is a proper outfit. System, purchase the 'Quincy Formal' outfit. Opt for Ishida's Quincy attire from the Hueco Mundo Arc."

---------------------

[Ding.. Quincy formal outfit purchased. Deducting 1000SP. Equip?]

---------------------

"Meh, beats wearing a destroyed shihakushou," Yun Che nonchalantly pressed the button, and his entire body began to glow once more. In an instant, his battered Shihakushou vanished, replaced by a Quincy formal outfit. A closer look revealed he had chosen the attire Ishida wore during the Hueco Mundo Arc—a white formal outfit adorned with blue linings and matching trousers. Unlike his typical Shinigami attire, this time Yun Che donned a white, form-fitting, high-collared tunic that bore a resemblance to both Mandarin Chinese dress and the cassocks of Catholic priests. The outfit exuded a distinctly "foreign" or "Western" style, complemented by white shoes with blue linings. A strap of gold ropes tied from his chest to his left shoulder, and, similar to his bow, the blue linings on his clothes transformed to red when he activated his Evil God berserk arts, reverting to blue when deactivated.

"Much better. Man, this outfit is really fitted. No wonder those Quincy looked really cool. Too bad Ishida was the only one wearing them. Now that's done," Yun Che remarked, turning his attention toward the approaching horde of beasts. The upgrade to his bow had evidently attracted a significant number of creatures.

He smirked for a moment and addressed Hoyuu, "Hey, Hoyuu. Still thinking I couldn't beat you?"

"Heh, changing your bow doesn't really change anything, though. How can you beat my score with just five minutes left?" Hoyuu retorted.

"Well, open your eyes widely, you asshat. Like I said, it's my win," Yun Che declared as several flying beasts approached.

Shuuu

Shuuu

Shuuu

Arrows sliced through the air, piercing the oncoming beasts and transforming them into spirit particles. As he unleashed the barrage, Yun Che calmly added, "It's not like I'm letting you win, Hoyuu. It's just I already won. You just didn't know it yet."

"Bastard, how are you actually winning?" Hoyuu widened his eyes.

With that, Yun Che teleported to the tower where Jasmine stood. Solidifying his Spirit Force, he hovered in the air, observing the remaining beasts converging toward him.

"Like this," Yun Che smirked, pointing his Ginrei Kojaku toward the mass of creatures before pulling the bowstring. In an instant, not one, not three, but thousands upon thousands of arrows shot forth from the Ginrei Kojaku, hurtling towards the remaining beasts with relentless force.

"IMPOSSIBLE!!! HOW?!?!" The Azure Dragon exclaimed, witnessing the unleashing of thousands of arrows from the energy bow Yun Che had just created. Even Jasmine was left in stunned disbelief. Normally, he fired only one or two arrows, but now he had released a thousand? She looked at his newly acquired bow and realized it had the capability to fire thousands of arrows. No wonder he had been relaxed. No wonder he let Hoyuu gain a larger gap, confident that Hoyuu couldn't even compete with this method.

The thousands of arrows rained down upon the battlefield, landing amidst the horde of beasts and decimating them like bugs and flies. Each arrow didn't target just one beast; dozens flew simultaneously, disintegrating them on the spot. The onslaught didn't stop there; thousands more arrows soared from the bow, swiftly eliminating the remaining beasts in one relentless motion.

However, Yun Che noticed that some smaller creatures were still lurking around. He pointed his newly acquired bow upwards and muttered something foreign.

The unique aspect of the Ginrei Kojaku was that it used Spiritual Particles as ammunition, and the realm was brimming with them. Yun Che didn't have to rely on his own Spirit Force; as long as reishi filled the air, his arrows would continue to fire endlessly. The reishi from the deceased beasts further fueled the Ginrei Kojaku, enabling it to fire thousands upon thousands of arrows toward the remaining creatures.

"Licht Regen (Light Rain)," he uttered.

He aimed the bow towards the sky, and suddenly the heavens were filled with an uncountable number of arrows descending. The arrow storm hit the tower, but the structure was separated from the realm, ensuring the safety of the Azure Dragon and Jasmine. Both of them wore expressions as if they had just witnessed a monster, observing thousands of arrows cascading from the sky to the ground. The sound of passing arrows echoed everywhere, hitting and sweeping over the realm, obliterating everything in their path. Monsters, trees, rocks—none were spared by the arrows. The rain of arrows covered the ground, turning the area around the tower into a sea of blue.

----------------------

[Ding… Final Phase]

[Ding…. Round 5 (Yun Che vs Hoyuu)

Yun Che: 47034

Hoyuu: 45965

Remaining beast: 0

Time remaining: 03.23

------------------------

[Ding….Congratulations Host for killing all 99999 in under 5 hours. Time remaining: 00.53.23]

[Ding...Ginrei Kojaku kill count: 34511/100000]

---------------------------

Yun Che brought the Ginrei Kojaku to his side, standing confidently as he observed the astonished expressions on Jasmine and the Azure Dragon. With a slow and deliberate tone, he asked,

"How's that?"

He flashed a grin, waiting for their reactions. The two were left speechless, their expressions frozen in awe, before a notification popped up in front of Yun Che.

---------------------------

[Ding.... Triggering hidden objective...]
