Origin Lust Sword System

Chapter 51 Army Of Undead

District A was teeming with Undead Skeletons, and many of them were already Stage-2 Skeletons and kept on killing each other to evolve further.

However, right then, those fights abruptly stopped, and even those stage-1 skeletons stopped moving.

They all turned their head in a particular direction, and in their vision appeared enormous golden flames like a massive torch in absolute darkness.

The next moment, it was like those skeletons went almost crazy, and they all ran toward these golden flames. Even those stage-2 skeletons ignored everything and ran toward it like a moth to a flame.

___

Around Area A-1, five ragged cloak-wearing beings suddenly turned around and looked in the same direction as the other Undead almost instantly.

They also saw golden flames, but unlike other Undead, those golden flames appeared incredibly majestic and holy in their vision.

"A treasure! An absolute treasure!" One of them exclaimed with a voice like metal clunking together.

"It appeared we have to put our search for the dimension core aside…." The ragged-cloaked being with an eerie voice was just muttering in thrill when his voice came to an abrupt stop.

Because two of them had charged toward the direction of golden flames without even saying a word, clearing wanting to get their hands on the treasure before any other.

"Uncouth!" The cloaked being with an eerie voice cursed before it chased after them at full speed.

The others also followed suit while they all made plans to fight for that treasure no matter the consequences…

___

This strange situation wasn't just arisen in District-A, but that golden flame could be seen from far away, even from the other districts as well.

Those Undead reactions were the same as any other as they all charged toward those golden flames.

___

As for the source of these strange flames, he was sweating buckets as he looked at the golden light that completely enveloped Rita.

If Cyrus knew that casting Gia's Blessing had lured every Undead in his direction, he might regret it or think more carefully before casting this spell.

But he might end up doing the same since Rita's current condition was because of him.

However, he was getting drained after this spell was successfully cast, and even that extra energy reserved seemed to be barely enough to sustain this spell's Qi consumption.

Nevertheless, Rita's pale complexion was visibility getting rosy under the golden light, her breathing was becoming stable, and even her overdrawn meridians were healing.

This is the true worth of a spell above mortal grade, and its effect on a mortal is godly. But this didn't mean anyone could cast this spell as easily as Cyrus. Others might not even be able to learn it in their lifetime.

After ten seconds, Cyrus's hand stopped glowing in golden color, and only Rita's body was still encased in a golden cocoon.

Cyrus retracted his hand, wiped the sweat from his face, and muttered in exhaustion, "She might be able to break into Foundation Building Realm with Gia's Blessing lingering effect as soon as she wakes up."

"And you might exhaust yourself until nothing left, humph!" Eve instantly retorted. She didn't sound exhausted at all.

Cyrus also noticed this and asked uncertainly, "I won't, don't worry. But aren't you feeling exhausted as well?"

"No? Why would I feel exhausted?" Eve asked in aggravation.

'Haa… I don't want to even think about it anymore.' Cyrus smiled bitterly as he knew it was probably another perk of her being a sword or the system was biased.

Anyhow, he wasn't in the mood to quarrel with this fickle woman and sat down to catch his breath. He noticed that his nebula energy was starting to recover as well, and with its current speed, he would be fully recovered in around eight hours if he didn't count Lust Sword's exhausted energy source.

Still, after this small event, Cyrus now has a very clear understanding of what the Sword Nebula Energy was capable of. Although the 'Sword' aspect was still unclear, he knew he would eventually figure it out.

So, for convenience's sake, he decided to call it 'Nebulas Qi' since he was more familiar with the term 'Qi' than 'Energy,' and he still wanted a remembrance of his cultivation roots.

However, not even five minutes passed when Cyrus felt the floor was slightly shaking. Frowning, he headed toward the window to look outside. He was astonished when he noticed the outside was teeming with skeletons, probably thousands of them.

Not only that but hundreds of Stage-2 Skeletons were almost amide them, and their target was non-other than the building where he and Rita were hiding. It was like they were specifically targeting this particular building.

But Cyrus was somehow baffled when he noticed the mayhem of the skeletons were looking right up into the direction of the apartment where he and Rita were.

An enormous number of skeletons was forming a skeleton wall to climb directly on the floor where he was, and Cyrus felt something was extremely wrong.

"C-Cyrus?" Rita's soft, bewildered voice suddenly sounded, drawing Cyrus's attention.

He looked behind and saw Rita stilling up and looking at the golden barrier around her with bewilderment and surprise.

It was not because of what he saw, he might've been in the mood to have a casual chat, but he knew it was time to act. Even he felt his scalp tingle with trepidation when he thought about those numerous skeletons coming for him.

"Alright, we'll talk later. We need to make a run for it." He sternly stated as he moved close to her.

"W-what… why?" Rita was confused about this whole situation.

The last thing she remembered was that she had overdrawn herself by controlling that cyanic skeleton and bought Cyrus the entire hour he requested. At that time, she thought she would die because her condition was even worse than a BOD.

However, here she was, completely fine and full of vigor, she even felt like a breakthrough was around the corner, and the reason for it was this warm golden barrier around her.

It wasn't too hard for her to guess that this was probably Cyrus's doing, and she felt very touched by the compassion and thought risking her life for him was worth it.

"We are under siege by an army of undead, that's why!" Cyrus scoffed, and without giving her any chance to react, he crouched down slightly and picked her up in a princess carry.

Rita was startled and blushed slightly when she felt his strong arms wrapping around her, and her heart raced while she looked like a holy angel in that golden barrier.

"This vixen!" Eve gnashed her teeth in indignation and jealousy.

Cyrus ignored both women. He was slightly bit recovered, but his strength was still enough to carry Rita and leave this place while avoiding that enormous army outside.

"Watch closely. I'm going to use only ice spells to escape this place. This is a good opportunity for you." Cyrus told Rita, and he was indirectly telling Eve as well.

"Mmm… wait, what?" Rita, who was mesmerized by Cyrus's heroic face and having all kinds of titillate fantasies, was snapped out of them with this unexpected order.

Cyrus didn't have time to chided her as the building shook even more violently, and he quickly dashed toward the broken window.

"Wait, wait… what are you doing?" Rita was full of shocked when she saw Cyrus jumping out of the window.

However, she was gobsmacked when she noticed the skeleton army below, and she felt goosebumps when all those skeletons instantly looked in their direction at once.

Cyrus also noticed this, and his expression went dark, 'Don't tell me they were all drawn here by Gia's Blessing?'

"Are you trying to commit suicide!?" Eve's exasperated yet horrified voice rang as even she felt this was a situation that was impossible to overcome.

Furthermore, they were hundreds of feet high in the sky, and just this fall is enough to kill a normal human being, and even Cyrus might not get away with it unscratched.

Rita's thought process was also like Eve, 'Maybe, it is not so bad to die together.' She thought as she tightly huge his neck.

"What are you doing?" Cyrus was baffled by Rita's sudden action before he uttered, "Ice Step!"

Black ice suddenly formed right under his foot, and he stepped on it and launched himself even higher with it, and the black ice cube fell.

Eve and Rita were both shocked by this sudden turn of events.

Cyrus scoffed and said, "Do you think I'm crazing enough to suicide? Heh, naïve, now observe. As long as you have extreme control over your Qi and body, you can combine your spell with your movement and escape any situation. Ice step!"

Another Ice cube formed under his feet, and he took another leap. Although it looked like he was just stepping over that ice cube, but if observed closely before Cyrus stepped over that ice, a strange ripple always appeared under his feet and left an icy mist behind.

This was the extreme control of the Body and Qi!
