Chapter 899 899. Ligh
"Nothing?" Noah asked as he executed the second form of his martial art, targeting the cave seen outside of the formation. His voice ca out as a guttural growl due to the Demonic Form and his beast’s features.
"Nothing!" Daniel exclaid as he stored his inscribed notebook back in his space-ring and resud fueling his white halo. "No ntal ssage seems able to escape the area."
The group had faced six more series of spells already by then, but their situation was about to beco critical.
The Ghostly Sakes were still doing their job as at shields, but injuries filled their bodies, and so wounds even reached for their internal organs. Also, their instincts were starting to take control of their bodies and making them ignore Noah’s orders.
Noah was using his pride to force the hybrids to maintain their sanity. Yet, their survival instinct was becoming more intense as the state of their bodies worsened.
It was only a matter of ti before the Snakes stopped using their reason and escaped the formation with their innate ability, leaving the rest of the group alone in the siege.
Their sacrifice though had allowed the cultivators to block all the attacks and give Noah enough room to continue targeting the control center.
The water around the group trembled again after Noah’s last attack, and the sa series of shining lines appeared in that part of the sea. So of them even fell apart during the tremors, but the formation was still mostly intact.
’They did this in less than a day!’ Noah cursed in his mind as he released another roar to suppress the instincts of the snakes. ’We would have already exposed so secret if it wasn’t for the hybrids.’
It was clear that their assailant had co prepared. They had deployed manpower stronger than Noah’s group, and they were even making use of an annoying formation.
If Noah hadn’t submitted the three hybrids, they would have been forced to use all their assets to survive, which ant revealing June’s higher energy and the separate dinsion. However, there was hope to keep their secrets hidden thanks to the sacrifice of the Snakes.
After all, that was the whole point of their lie. Revealing the divine items would protect June and Faith’s status in their organizations and make their story more believable.
The won’s cover would be exposed if the Hive was to reveal their divine items in the next years, and the organizations behind them would still think about creating raiding parties if they didn’t have a decoy. Instead, knowing that such precious objects were in the hands of the Hive would move their attention away from the separate dinsion and give Flying Demon enough ti to inherit Shandal’s individuality.
Also, the other organizations would start to fear the Hive more if they knew that it owned those powerful tools.
Fa and reputation could be the end of a lone cultivator, but they were an armor when it ca to organizations. The copying formation already discouraged anyone from attacking the Hive, and the knowledge that it owned divine items would only strengthen that feeling.
The only issue now was to make those items reach the safety of the Hive.
Daniel had his emblem hung on his neck, and the fact that his robe covered it didn’t prevent its powerful aura from leaking in the environnt. anwhile, Noah had both the stuffed beast and the diagram in his space-ring, which hid their presence.
That was the reason why all the spells kept on aiming for Daniel. It seed that the assailants weren’t trying to take down the entire group, but force them to give up on that divine asset before soone noticed that they were late.
Noah’s eyes beca cold when he saw the shining lines disappear again in the water. At that sight, it beca clear in his mind that the Ghostly Snakes would die before he could destroy the entirety of the formation.
It would be up to the group to face the full power of the spells once the protection of the hybrids vanished, and targeting the control center while defending could be a problem.
Noah’s mind worked at full speed as he analyzed the situation. The Divine Deduction technique consud his ntal energy to evaluate how much the formation could endure, and if the group could destroy it without revealing anything.
The answer was negative. Noah and the others would still need to use so of their hidden assets even if the Snakes gave their lives to defend them.
Noah made his mind at that point. Daniel saw the fiendish figure nodding at him, and he didn’t hesitate to take the emblem in his grasp.
If they had to reveal sothing anyway, they might as well use the divine items before the hybrids died. After all, the world already knew about them.
Also, the effects of Daniel’s emblem were straightforward. The item gathered light and unleashed it to eliminate any threat attempting at the life of its wielder.
Shandal had kept it charged, which allowed Daniel to activate it straight away and without the need of any "Breath". He only had to use a minute part of his ntal energy to trigger its effects.
The tenth series of spells ford and shot toward the group, but a blinding light soon filled the entire underwater area.
The effects of the divine item were the exact opposite of Noah’s flas, even if they both turned the witnesses blind for a few seconds. Noah saw his world beco completely white, and he couldn’t help but spread his mouth at that sight.
Dense "Breath" entered his body and nourished his lungs. Still, the ability of the Curse Dragon species wasn’t able to create the usual black halo around him at that ti.
There was too much light, and its might even stretched outside of the formation.
Noah sensed that his Demonic Form fell apart as the light swept him. It seed that the defensive item saw the unruly properties of the black smoke as a threat to its wielder.
However, it didn’t affect any living being. Both Noah and the Demonic Sword didn’t suffer at all inside that halo.
The sa went for his companions, and only so of June’s orange spheres vanished due to the effects of the emblem. The other defensive spells remained in place instead.
When the halo vanished, Noah and the others discovered that they could breathe again. The emblem had destroyed the entirety of the formation, creating an empty sphere right in the middle of the sea.
The water soon filled that gap, and the cultivators could sense that the sea had changed once they were subrged again. However, they didn’t waste ti analyzing it since they weren’t safe yet.
A roar ran under the sea, and black smoke began to spread once again since Noah quickly reactivated the Demonic Form. June and the others prepared their offensive spells too at that signal, and the Snakes beca immaterial to prepare for the imminent clash.
They could finally charge ahead now that the formation was gone.
