A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 320: Battle II

Alex looked around at the massive beasts that had appeared and surrounded them at all sides. Then he looked at Layla who was also looking at him with the gaze that meant 'What should we do?'

After processing hundreds of thoughts in his head in almost an instant, he decided to keep Layla away from harm. Or her being around him would greatly limit him in the battle that's about to ensue since he would want to look out for her too to protect her from the attacks of the beasts.

Then since he understood that he could now surprisingly speak underwater, he said to her "I will keep you away from harm. I don't want you to be injured. And don't worry about me. Now, a force that would envelop your body would appear very soon. When it does, do not try to resist it"

Layla who was surprised by what Alex said nodded her head. She had understood not to get in Alex's way since he was strong enough to handle things thrown at him.

"Alright." She said.

Then a spatial movement force appeared and enveloped her body. Then in the next instant, she was moved away through the fabric of space into the Azure Beastsman's palace that had appeared in Alex's hand.

Alex then stowed away the palace into his dad's spatial necklace.

Azure Beastsman palace...

"Hello... Welcome" The voice of the Palace-spirit sounded out.

Layla who was first amazed by the anciently voice that rang out quickly greeted "Senior, this junior greets you."

"Hmm. Your greeting is well received." The Palace-spirit said. Then it spoke further by asking "So, would you like to watch your amazing boyfriend fight? Would you like to understand more about him and his unusual combat strength?"

"Oh!" Layla exclaimed in shock.

She was surprised that the Palace-spirit knew that she was his girlfriend.

"Yes! I would like to, senior." Layla said excitedly.

Now that it seems the Palace-spirit has approved of her, and would find a way to project Alex's battle with the immense beasts for her, she became glad that she would be able to comprehend Alex and his shocking battle power.

Then in the next instant, a large projection screen appeared in the air. And in this screen could be seen Alex who looked at the beasts without fear or dread in his eyes which also erupted killing intent.

'Look at him, so fearless!!!... I wonder where he get his courage from. How powerful would he be exactly?' Layla asked within with amazement occupying the entirety of her mind.

***

Outside the palace...

"So, you guys are pissed off that I killed your children? Of course I have to. Or we would be killed. You know that this is a kill or be killed world. Therefore, it was right of us to kill them" Alex said.

The beasts heard this and roared in rage.

Then not wanting to hear anything else, their bodies which glowed in bright crimson because of the brilliant, crimson-colored electricity arcs that moved about on their bodies abruptly fired large bolts of crimson lightning at Alex. And since they were beasts that were far bigger than Saint-rank beasts, the attacks that they sent at Alex possessed more damaging power. So, if any of the lightning bolts hit him, it could result in his instant death.

Alex understood this and quickly unleashed a speed-related, water-based physique called 'Unparalleled Speed Titan Primeval Aqua-God Rainbow-Tailed Fish-Beast King Physique.'

Once he invoked this transformation, his body grew taller by many inches; by approximately twenty inches. Then blue-sapphire armor scales that were several inches thick appeared all over his body which then fused together to form a surprisingly smooth scaly body; the points at which the scales joined together vanished. Then large, thick fins appeared at his sides and at his back. While his body altered in shape to develop a streamline figure. As for his legs, they joined together and became a twelve-meter long crystalline tail that glowed in a brilliant and glaring polychromatic light like they were made out of crystals that emitted the beautiful, stunning colors of the rainbow.

Alex simply looked like a beautiful, exotic fish beast in this astonishing form that he taken.

Once he transformed which only took a second, he shot towards the beasts that had unleashed numerous lightning attacks at him. And as he moved towards them with his powerful, crystalline and muscular tail rapidly wiping left and right a thousand times in less than a minute which then generated a great propulsive force that propelled him at an inconceivable speed, and also using the speed-acceleration mystical power of the fish-form physique that he had summoned to boost his already extremely fast speed to a greater degree, he quickly activated the water-control ability of the powerful water-based physique that he had evoked.

So, deploying an ability called 'Howling Water Maelstroms', multiple immense whirlpools suddenly manifested in the water. These then raged with powerful drawing forces that if it appeared in the outside world, would strip away a vast stretch of land and pull it to their centers like they were blackholes.

Immediately he employed this offensive technique, he immediately unleashed another offensive method of the physique which was 'Thousand Ocean-splitting Great Spears of the Peerless Water Battle Spirit'

Instantly, thousands of immense spears formed from the exceedingly cold water of the massive lake appeared and shot out towards the beasts in every direction and at great speeds. And as they cannoned at tremendous velocities towards the water beasts to slay them, the strong attraction forces produced by the enormous whirlpools strangely didn't affect them. Instead, it added to the speeds that they moved at, increasing them many times more.

As for Alex, since he had evoked a powerful speed-related physique which was tremendously powerful under water, he saw in slow motion the multiple, lightning bolts attacks that were launched at him and prepared to dodge them.

Noticing the gaps in each of their raging electricity attacks due to his highly augmented perception of the speeds that they moved at, he went for them as he shot into them to evade the attacks. So, just like that, he dodged all the powerful killing attacks sent at him.

While the furious underwater cyclones that Alex created using the water manipulation power of the physique caused the beasts to be removed from their stable balance. And this was mainly because of the super-strong, land-stripping attractive forces that the furiously revolving cyclones produced which acted on them.

However, being beasts at the Great Saint rank and above, the cyclones couldn't draw them in to their centers. It could only cause disruption to their balance. But this was because the cyclones were saint-tier attacks created by a Saint-rank physique. So, the attacks limited by the tier that they were at, couldn't produce more attraction power to suck in the large intelligent beasts to their centers.

But being taken off their balance which they struggled to regain, the spears arrived before them and struck them hard. However, they couldn't penetrate into their bodies since the skins of the beasts were extremely hard and thick. So, upon hard impacts with the beasts' tough bodies, the massive spears condensed from the cold water of the lake shattered into pieces and became normal lake water once again.
