Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 161 Orcon Forest 2 V : Five Vein Element Treasure

From his time reading and studying up on items that shared both Alchemical and blacksmithing usage, he came across a meteor like material. The meteor travels around the earth, weaving in and out of Dimensions in a sort of centennial cycle. And Every time it was close to earth, a piece of it would always drop down, and merge with one of the four fundamental basic elements, to create a treasure capable of capturing the main essences of an element.

Basically in it's rotation, the first element was fire, and the five petals gave cold fire, wind fire, sun fire, earth flames, and moon fire. Five special versions of fire with different powers an attributes. The woman who had gained the treasure, had moved to a higher plane of existence and created a clan with five distinct branches, her descendants each inherited a specific kind of flame ability, in correspondence to the five flame essences, also corresponding to the five branches of her clan. They were still a well know and feared force.

The earth treasure feel into the hand of a boy not strong enough to protect, he was killed immediately he had invested the treasure, and it was forever lost. The same thing would have happened with the water treasure, but the person who found it was lucky enough to be the love interest of the greatest mage to have ever lived...…Merlin. She went on to become the lady of the lake, her descendants rule the throne of Albion, her bloodline mixed with that of the legendary Pendragons. As for Merlin...…he never got the girl, but yet still protects and shows love to her descendants and the descendants of the man she chose.....it must be a really tough life for him.

But here was the fourth! No name has been officially coined for it, but most people call it the (Five Vein Element Treasure). And here was one in front of Alex, with no one else but a jelly fish and ma.s.sive snake to fight him for it. Alex felt frantic, and so he gave Khan a look. The treasure would probably only be fully corporeal for a few seconds, that was Kahn's once chance to grab it and take it straight to the Mantle's spirit hall.

But it was hard making a choice about which enemy to go after, Alex was very much worked that if he went after one, the other would be right behind hoping to take advantage of the chairs to either get the (Five Vein Element Treasure) or take out the warring team in one fell swoop, so the only move available was to eliminate the option of the treasure.

And so the all waited, all three of them with their breaths tightly strung and held in their chest, power building as a giant jelly fish, a five headed snake monster, a demon weasel-dog-wolf thing, and a teenager with crazy ideas waited for the perfect second to make their move, and luckily for them, it didn't take too long.

"Now Khan!"

Alex didn't need to about, his partner had already turned into a gust of wind that shot towards the treasure, the enemies on the other hand had placed their attention on the wrong person. It seems that every person before Alex who had come here for the treasure had gone after it hoping to use speed to their advantage, grab it and leave, except of course for the fact that while both beasts weren't fast, The had attacks that could take a life in an instant. Alex was considered the bigger threat, not the wolf with him, so they had attacked Alex instead, while Khan grabbed the treasure and vanished from sight with it the moment his grubby paws had touched it.

Alex's body soared into the air just as he felt Khan's wind form slam into his chest and disappear, without a doubt, Khan and the (Five Vein Element Treasure) were safely tucked away in his spirit hall, within his mantle. The attacks from both beasts slammed into each other beneath him, creating an explosion and an updraft that pushed him even higher, His fire mask rapidly coming into being on his face as the temperature around him seemed to go up a few hundred degrees in that moment. The treasure was gone and both beasts were incredibly livid, and they knew there was no one else to blame but Alex himself, even if the wolf that had ran away with it wasn't his comrade.

They would do everything in their power to tear Alex apart. Now normally if this was some other person, hey would have used this opportunity to get the h.e.l.l out of town, after all they weren't a match for the beasts and they came here for the treasure. But for Alex it was the other way around, getting he treasure when he thought it was just a simple wind flower was a bonus, what truly brought him here though was the lives of both beasts, and he wasn't leaving until he took their dead, bleeding corpse with him back to the academy for a blood ritual.

Green Wind fire gathered around his body as the Jelly fish was the first to reach him, he was still in the air and was already talking when bright green flames shot out from his feet, propelling him towards the jelly fish. His spear gleamed as he called out the fire masks ultimate human skill. The rage of the flames seemed to grow even more as the giant illusory form a dragon seemed to swallow his form as it pierced right through the body of the jelly fish, tentacles and skin burnt to a crisp and a hole in it's ma.s.sive eye.

(Dragon Fall)

The flames rated on for a good 30 seconds, creating a ma.s.sive conflagration of green fire that burnt the rocks under Alex's feet to molten slag, exposing the gleaming meteorite metal underneath his feet. But this was besides the point as the flames quickly died, and all that was left of the jelly fish was a burnt corpse, Alex had over did it with his flames. There wasn't a single smidge of blood left in it's body as seconds later it turned to ash, leaving behind only it's Mana core. Alex cursed softly as the ma.s.sive loss as he stowed away his spear and changed his mask front he fire to the blood mask. As it stands he might have overestimated their abilities and underestimated his own by a large margin.

The Hydra on the other hand took one look at scale of the destruction Alex had left, he didn't really notice it, but more than half of the ninety foot rock had been burnt away, leaving behind only a gleaming ma.s.sive chunk of meteorite that had dents and holes in it. But the Hydra seeing the destruction wasn't going to be sticking around for dinner, it swiftly turned around and was about to slither away, utilizing every speed it's awkward lizard body could muster. But Alex was not going to let that happen, he already lost a valuable material for his blood ritual, there was no way in h.e.l.l he was loosing the other.

The Hydra suddenly felt it's body becoming stiff, it's chest was right, it's limbs were heavy and it's brain seemed incapable of any kind of complex or instinctual thoughts and reactions. But even with that, all nine of it's heads showed ma.s.sive fear as it was Alex's opened and outstretched hands, the blood pouring out from his nose, and eyes seemed to add even more terror to the Hydra.

Alex was being pressured, the powers of a blood Dragon was immense, not even Nezha being an actual G.o.d could compare to the scope and magnitude that was Ébié's power. And it was all the more surprising hat she was just a young spirit, a few hundred years as a single spirit it's almost terrifying just how much power she would be able to muster. Blood was not fire, the domain of blood was just too expansive and unique to be contained within a body as weak as Alex's, even with all of his ability his body and cultivation was not get strong enough to handle not just the power of blood, but the power of a dragon, and he knew it.

Alex clenched his hands as the blood flow within the body of the Hydra became erratic, he increased and reduced the pressure more than a 100 times in ten seconds, ,a human would be dead by now, but the Hydra was not in good shape. It was tras.h.i.+ng, writhing and biting at itself, trying everything possible to bring an end to the intense pain it was feeling. But there was no respite, not until it's first heart and brain exploded and a head dropped, and then another and another and another. The fear in the eyes of the last head was not a look Alex ever expected from a beast. But this was necessary.....

*Bang!*

The last head exploded and both Alex and the body of demonic beast collapsed to the floor, his breaths heavy as his vision got clouded and darker. Whatever may be, he just wanted to close his eyes for a few seconds, yeah his work here is done.
