Chapter 295: 295: Transcendental Slap
With the absence of a threat of the thousands of sprout-level beasts. The students looked intently, deliberately widened their eyes, to watch the battle that was about to start between the mysterious transcendent shadow and the five roar-level beast, for fear of missing even a slight detail.
'Didn't expect they would react this much... It seems the allure of the Transcendent Realm is hard to resist.'
Caleb mused. Well, he couldn't really blame them for reacting in such a way. He could understand why. After all, the number of Transcendent in the Philippines could only be counted in one hand. To be specific, there were only four with his addition. Now, the appearance of a transcendent or Goliath-level shadow was an eye-opening experience for them.
Just like that, there wasn't much talking between the transcendent shadow and the five-roar level beast. After all, the two camps don't have mouths or the same vocal chord structure as humans. At this moment, the attacks of the five-roar level beast just passed through to the body of the shadow.
"H-how? What's happening? Why are the attacks of the five beasts just passed through the body of the shadow like air?"
"Are you stupid? Isn't it common sense? The shadow is intangible in nature. I won't be surprised if the mysterious shadow can transition itself to an intangible and tangible state."
"Damn! Too powerful! Doesn't that mean that it can't be hit by physical attacks or means that it doesn't want to get hit? After all, it just needs to make its body intangible. Then, becomes tangible when it's attacking. T-this... This is too cheating!"
"Well, it's a shadow after all. Logically, we can't touch shadows physically. However, that doesn't mean that they can't be attacked. Maybe spiritual attacks and mental attacks are the way to injure or even kill them. I think you can also hit them physically if you can time it well. Attack them once they make an attack. After all, when they're attacking, their body is forced to enter the tangible state..."
Zenith suddenly appeared beside the crowd and offered his analysis. His sudden appearance startled the students.
Caleb glanced at Zenith with respect. 'This guy is really an expert. Maybe my assistant's weakness is really spiritual attacks. But mental attacks? Maybe so...'
Even then, to damage and injure his shadow assistants. The level of spiritual or mental attack obviously needs to be at the level of the Transcendent Realm. Why? Well, if it was an Extraordinary or Roar-level beast that attacks the transcendent shadows spiritually, that's like throwing a pebble into the lake. It won't cause much ripple. After all, the toughness of shadows, soul, or their mental strength is also at the level of Transcendent.
Extraordinary mental or spiritual attacks aren't enough to cause trouble for them. Of course, it would be different if the shadows weren't fused together. If they're not fused, extraordinary-level spiritual or mental attacks would surely cause damage or even kill them. Your next journey awaits at empire
At the very least, Caleb was confident that Transcendents that specialize in soul or even mental attacks are hard to come by. After all, matters related to or about soul or mental aspects are kinda elusive. They aren't cabbage to the market. In simple words, they are scarce. How so? Because the soul is a complex subject, hard to understand, and difficult to study.
Of course, Caleb knew that the universe was too big. What he thinks wasn't necessarily right. Maybe his mindset was too narrow, and he was limited by his perception or current environment. But currently, that's what he believes. He was willing to adapt his perception once exposed to a new environment and knowledge.
...
Just like that, the beasts madly, recently attacked. The onslaught continued for a minute with the shadow just standing, doing nothing, letting the attacks pass through its body. Although it doesn't have expression due to its not thing facial features. Anyone would be able to feel the mix of contempt and disdain in its gaze that bore through the five roar-level beasts.
On the other hand, the rage of the five beasts continued to increase. As top predators in the jungle. When did they feel an enemy looking down on them? They are beasts that command other beasts! Now, a puny shadow actually looks down at them!?
However, as if the shadow decided that the play was over. It raised its arm and slapped the five beasts. Then, an incredible scene played out in the eyes of the onlookers. Both the students, professor, soldiers, and even the commander couldn't believe it!
The palm of the shadow, although small. Produced a terrifying pressure. A phantom of a hundred-meter palm emerged from the void and hit the five roar-level beasts and slapped the shit out of them!
BOOM!
The sound of an explosion followed. Dust covered the entire area, which prevented the spectators from seeing the results.
The students look at the dust-covered scene incredulously.
"T-This fight is just too damn epic!"
"What do you think, guys? Who has won? Do you guys think that the five-roar level beasts are dead? How about betting? I bet that they fucking died in the oblivion!" Xin smirked.
Fatty snorted. "Bastard, didn't you feel how powerful the attack was? It fucking rocked the hell out of the damned surroundings like a fucking earthquake!"
Mei slapped Fatty on his back. "Why do you need to have so many curses in one word!?"
"Ouch! What was that for!?" Fatty rubbed his back with his left arm in pain and didn't forget to glare at Mei.
On the other hand, one of the soldiers opened his mouth. "Well, I can't feel the life aura of the five roar-level beasts. They've disappeared.
Just like that, a minute passed... The dust finally cleared out, which made the area visible again. Then, everyone saw the transcendent shadow was nowhere to be found. But what really made them gasp was that there were stumps of flesh within what seemed to be a 30-meter-deep palm. Yes, the palm made a huge dent in the ground. Well, it was underwhelming to describe it as a dent.
Ultimately, the result was that the five-roar level beasts turned into a meat paste. Their entire body had directly turned into a mush.
"Damn! They died such a horrible death!" One of the soldiers exclaimed. "But where did the shadow go? Did it leave just like that after killing the monsters? Well, I would like to call its finishing move a transcendental slap!"
Caleb looked at the shadows that returned to his body with a smile. He was satisfied with the performance of his assistants!
