Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 571 Open The Door

These creatures looked like black stains, as they threw themselves against the walls of the city, burning their bodies against the golden glow of the stones making the walls, and thus ever so slightly, dimming the stones down a bit.

Death after death, these creatures constantly crashed their bodies, burning themselves without regard to their safety or survivability, with only one goal, keep crashing against the walls like an endless tide that never yielded, tiered or stopped.

 A good portion of these creatures turned their heads, as if my presence alerted them to my existence. They screeched as they gazed at me with all the eyes on their bodies. Scraping their nails and grinding their teeth as they looked at me then soon a few of them came at me running and scurrying across the ground, even when their bodies burnt and turned to sludge on the ground they kept coming at me.

My eyes scanned the surrounding. There was a single long bridge that led from the edge I\'m on to the gate of the city. The moat that the creatures were in was basically like a cliff that surrounded the city, and they filled it with their bodies. However, they couldn\'t break through the walls nor climb on top of the bridge.

So, instead of waiting to be surrounded and my only path forward blocked, I would just go ahead before they reached me. 

I pressed the pedal and let the board go full burst, shooting forward above the heads of the creeping creatures, dodging away at them and avoiding any that tried to lunge at me or intercept me.

Just as I arrived to the bridge, many of the creatures seemed to climb atop themselves, the things of nightmares. Rising from the moat on both sides of the bridge like a tower made of monsters and then crashed against the bridge. The first bodies that landed on the bridge were turned asunder burning up in flames as they came in contact with the stone that made the bridge. 

As for the creatures that managed to stand atop the bodies of their comrades, those came lunging at me.

As my board was moving, I noticed a loose piece of stone that was about to fall off the bridge. It was right in front of me and the distance between the stone and the monsters wasn\'t that big.

I pressed the pedal further increasing the speed as I extended my hand toward the stone. Just as I grabbed it, I slammed both palms against it, instantly turning the stone to dust in my hand

The monsters were lunging at my face, not even a few dozen meters away, and in that time, I turned to the monsters, my open palm holding a mound of the golden dust, and my mouth blew against the dust infusing the breath with poison and the specks and flakes of the golden dust.

The poison probably wouldn\'t work, but since it\'s something I can control, I only needed the poison to stick to the dust particles so I can move the dust however I like.

With the poison cloud mixed with the dust moving forward, I was able to create a cloud that forced the creatures to remain physical.

How did I know this was going to work? Simple, the explosion I caused earlier with the cannister created a dust cloud along with the rocks flying and harming that beast. I noticed that the dust cloud that was created in the process had the same effect on the monsters, although limited by time and area, it was still enough to stop a few creatures from moving as it forced them to materialize.

The poison cloud moved the dust particles how I wished against the bridge and right before the first creature was going to rip my face off, I had already pulled creeping demise and was mid swing.

As if time froze, I could see many things. The eyes of the creature, since he had many, some were focused on me, and some on the sword coming at it.

In that moment, the creature\'s body, the part that was \'looking\' at the sword began morphing and sending signal to the rest of his body, as a wave, requesting the body to transform from physical to nonphysical following the direction of the sword swing, since in doing that it\'ll be able to phase through the sword, and come out unharmed and then continue on its goal of ripping my face off.

However, what the monster didn\'t account for was the dust that seemed to stick ever so lightly against its body, forcing it to momentarily freeze. In that moment the monster realized, it fucked up.

The sword cut through it from right to left ripping it in half and in that single swing two more monsters were killed.

 I moved my sword back pointed it forward at the incoming monsters, "EAT YOUR FILL!"

Creeping Demise\'s tip enlarged shaping itself into that of a steel made serpent, its mouth opened and gobbled up the whole lot of frozen monsters. The steel serpent crunched them inside it then spat them back as liquid mixed in with poison. Then it snapped its jaws shut, creating a spark that set the sprayed poison aflame.

\'Damn, that was pretty cool…\'

I pulled the serpent back and creeping demise returned to its needle like form, having the bridge cleared I rushed forward to the gate.

lightsΝοvel More monsters began rising as they climbed atop each other like a tower, they then fell again on top of the bridge and began running toward me.

The gate was closed and I was thinking of ways to get through it, flying above the gate was not possible, the formation seemed too powerful and breaking it would just allow the fuckers to get inside. 

Just as I was thinking of how I would enter, the gate suddenly rose up welcoming me in…
