Murim Recurve

"Dammit, there's a second one now." Re'Kha cursed as she sensed that her Balou was fine for the most part. By absorbing the surrounding Water Qi, it quickly recovered and got up, charging towards the second Golpa Ras.

"Brother, I'll handle the second one, you handle the first. As for Re'Dha, support us accordingly." Re'Kha shouted as she activated her sword and charged towards the second Golpa Ras. Her right hand held the sword while her left was poised ready, intending to unleash a Palm Projection.

The second Golpa Ras hopped in its place a couple of times before exerting strength in its legs, springing towards Re'Kha. Re'Kha timed herself accordingly, slamming a Palm Projection using her left hand immediately, negating most of the Golpa Ras's momentum.

She followed it up with a slash of her sword, causing the Golpa Ras to defend using its arms. Her sword glinted with a dangerous blue radiance that cut halfway into the opponent's arms, causing it to look at her in shock when her Balou used the timing to ram into it, sending it flying away.

Re'Kha used the chance to take in a deep breath, recovering some Water Qi as the Golpa Ras got up once again. She didn't pursue it, after all, doing that would result in her getting too far away from her brothers, causing them prone to danger the moment they exit the range of her Water Qi Essence's emission.

Moreover, she was trying her best to accumulate as much Water Qi as possible before her Balou disappeared. After all, as a Pranic Avatar with a single foundation, her Balou could stay materialised for 120 breaths. And, these 120 breaths were her breathing in and out 120 times.

So, the longer she could hold her breath, the longer her Balou could stay materialised. But, she also replenished her Water Qi in the same manner. And, it took her ten breaths to recover one unit of Water Qi.

Therefore, the only way she could recover faster was somehow inhaling more Water Qi upon every breath and absorb most of it into her body that would later flow into her meridians. This was easier to achieve once the Water Qi in her surroundings reached saturation.

And, as the Water Qi Essence had been active for some time, the Water Qi had spread through its range considerably, rising in density as time passed. It made it easier for her to replenish her reserves. Soon, she would have at least 10 breaths in time to summon her second Pranic Avatar before her Balou disappeared.

Natural Water Qi wouldn't harm the Ras or any other beast for the matter. Only if the Water Qi possessed a will, like a Harmoniser's actions would it affect any other creatures. The concept was true for all natural Elemental Qi, except Fear and Ghost Qi, which weren't naturally occurring elements.

The Golpa Ras was fast and tremendously strong, stronger than what she could handle. Even though she was constantly replenishing her Water Qi reserves, she was failing to keep up with her opponent.

Though, she hadn't been injured till now, focusing on evasion primarily as she attacked the opponent from time to time. Eventually, her Balou's time was up as it vanished.

It seemed the Golpa Ras had been waiting for right this time as it stomped on the ground, causing a crater as it flashed before her, swimming with its claws, intending to shred Re'Kha apart. But, before it could land its attack, it noticed Re'Kha smiling as she made eye contact.

The next moment, the Golpa Ras noticed her eyes forming a jet-black swirl. Her gaze riled up all the Fear Qi in its body, taking control of its hands that headed towards its eyes like it was normal. And, without any hesitation, it ripped out its eyes.

Eye Power—Kalha!

Unlike the Ras before, the Golpa Ras had a pair of eyes. And, as she had unleashed the power of Kalha from both her eyes at the same time, the potency was stellar. The Golpa Ras was incapable of defending.

Moreover, even though it was physically superior to Re'Kha, it was unable to kill her. The reason was its monotonic attacks. The Golpa was a weak beast race due to only being able to attack in one direction.

Even though the Golpa Ras had gone past most of the race's inherent weaknesses, it was still plagued by their limitations to a certain extent. Moreover, its fighting style was the same as a Golpa. So, despite being overwhelmed in speed, strength, etc. Re'Kha still managed to react accordingly.

And, once she saw the Golpa Ras gouge its eyes out, her hand emitting blinding blue radiance, causing the Water Qi in the region to swirl. She expended six units of Water Qi, summoning a Hand Projection on her right.

It currently formed an outline on her right hand. Re'Kha used it to grab hold of her sword and thrust it forward, using the power boost a Pranic Art carried by the concept of relative motion. Her Hand Projection followed her hand's actions, thrusting the sword in the Golpa Ras's left eye socket, piercing it deep.

The Golpa Ras screamed in pain for the first time as the Water Qi emitted by the sword destroyed its insides; it was pushed back. And right at this time, the Balou summoned by Re'Dha appeared behind it, opening its mouth wide to clamp on the Golpa Ras's hip, beginning to crush it.

The Golpa Ras flailed its hands, intending to hit Re'Kha. But, she was standing beyond its reach, using her Hand Projection to continue stabbing into its eye socket as the sword soon pierced through its head, peeking out on the other side.

Re'Kha hurriedly took out her Water Qi Essence and threw it towards the Golpa Ras, slamming it accurately using her Palm Projection, plunging it into its other eye socket.

The Golpa Ras attacked the Balou, hitting it nonstop, inciting deep injuries. But by absorbing the surrounding Water Qi, it was barely able to remain alive and held the hip of the Golpa Ras.

Roar!

The Golpa Ras roared in pain as its body ballooned before bursting into a murky fluid.
