Chapter 145 Healing hands
When the team had encountered the mosswovern beasts, they had unknowingly split up with Jake, Peter and Jack dealing with one while Alex along with the girls were taking care of one.
After hearing Jake's warning, they knew that it wasn't going to be easy taking on the beasts without getting a single injury from it.
So they waited for the beast to act out and it did just that by spitting out venom towards them. They all managed to avoid it but it kept rapidly shooting out venom towards them keeping them on defense unable to attack all except one person.
And that was Kate, the support of the team who kept shooting out arrows trying to keep the beast still and not moving so the rest could attack.
But the beast easily slithered avoiding the arrows while still shooting out venom towards the rest of the team.
'I need to try something different.' Kate thought quite frustrated that her effort wasn't working.
So instead of shooting out one arrows, Kate had pulled out two arrows at once and placed it on her bow string then she aimed it at the beast that was carefully avoiding the others strikes.
Kate then infused her arrows with as much Qi as possible.
'My weapons are still at the intermediate tier so without Qi, they would just bounce off the beast's body not causing any harm on it.' Kate thought as she finally saw the opportunity she was waiting for.
Kate quickly let go of the string letting the arrow loose towards the beast. The others had heard the sharp sound heading from behind so they quickly moved back away from the arrows path.
The beast realized the arrows a little too late as one of them lunged in its skin going a few inches deep while still trying to push in because of the Qi.
While the second arrow, the beast had spit out venom at it, meeting the arrow dead on and melting it easily.
"Darn it! This beast's venom is certainly strong." Kate said as she gritted her teeth while preparing another arrow.
Seeing the arrow lunged into the beast, Alex decided to make use of the opportunity by dashing towards the beast with his giant sword by his side.
Then he activated the Qi around his body letting it course through every fiber of his body then he raised his sword up and immediately, it was flooded with so much Qi that it was showing visually outside.
"I'm not so weak!" Alex shouted as he swung his sword out at the beast and out came a huge line of Visual Qi towards the beast that it almost covered the whole beast's body.
This was called visual Qi; the highest stage which not even the military knew about since it was only the big three that knew such and it was passed down among them.
This visual Qi, is a last ditch effort by most as it took all the user's Qi to use. It was strong based on a user's Qi reserve. The larger Qi reserve you have, the more the skill will be stronger and more effective.
Alex had wanted to use it against the Beta werewolf but he was conserving his strength. He wanted to use it when he felt like there was no more hope or way for them to win the fight or when he had been backed to the corner.
But Jake had quickly came in and saved them all. But now, Alex knew that for sure, this was enough to kill the beast.
The skill he used, the Head Generals had tried to replicate it but theirs was the weaker version of the big three as the Head Generals own couldn't leave their weapon or body.
After unleashing that deadly skill, Alex looked up with a smile sure that the beast would be dead since he could see that rows and rows of trees had been destroyed totally.
But Alex was wrong as he could that the beast had managed to escape and camouflaged itself against a tree that wouldn't be in the path of the attack.
"Darn it! That was all of my Qi that had been used up in that attack." Alex cursed as he readied himself again for a tough fight without the use of his Qi.
The mosswovern slithered off the tree and looked towards Alex that it deemed as a huge threat. Then the beast spit out loads and loads of venom at Alex who was narrowly avoiding them until one managed to land on his arm.
"Arghhhh!" Alex shouted and Emily had dashed towards him.
"Alex!" Emily called out as she saw his hand burning up.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Darn it! Someone help." Emily cried out and Kate had quickly rushed over.
"Go help Sophia, I can handle this. Don't worry." Kate said as she took Alex's hand.
Emily was reluctant to leave Alex alone but Alex nodded his head which made her to go help Sophia take down the beast that put her beloved Alex in this situation.
Kate knelt down beside Alex as she took his hands that was already burning a hole in because of the venom.
Then Kate quickly opened up a pouch that was beside her as she pulled out some bottles and started applying it on Alex's wound therefore disinfecting it.
When she was done, Kate dropped the bottles down and laid her hands on Alex's hand and started hovering while also moving it around.
Alex was now feeling a shooting pain course through his arm but he bared through it not willing to shout and distract Kate from what she was doing.
What Kate was actually doing was moving Alex's Qi and also hers around Alex's arm trying to get rid of the toxic spit. Alex's arm was now somewhat glowing as the toxic spit was being lifted out of his arm.
And then Kate threw her arm to the side throwing the spit away and causing it to fall on the ground while also burning a hole in it. Then Kate hovered her hands on Alex's wound using her Qi to speed up the healing process in Alex's body.

Alex didn't feel the pain again not because Kate removed the toxic, but because he was in awe of what Kate had just done.
"What did you just do? How did you do that?" Alex asked as he was feeling a soothing relief on his arm.
Kate just smiled and stood up as her work was now done.
"Just a little trick I learnt at the Healing Arts club." Kate replied and then she looked at Sophia and Emily that were still struggling against the beast.
"So what do you say about us taking the beast that put you in that situation." Kate said.
"I will say, let's do it." Alex said as he took his sword ready for a second chance.
