’Damn! We failed!’ Bruno lanted ntally, incredulous.
They watched the barrier crack completely until every inch of it was covered, on the verge of collapsing. But that power was still active.
Alm and Bruno remained stunned because it went far beyond the capacity of the barrier. Even with the formation and the seal used as a shield, along with all the Yin and infernal laws that Alm managed to master, it wasn’t enough. They were seconds away from death.
’This power... was it a remnant of the soul of that beast?!’ Bruno concluded in shock. ’That beast had a cultivation almost in the divine realm to have such a powerful soul.’
When the souls of Alm and Bruno were complete, and well, they could destroy an entire ascending planet just with their power. But it would cost all their energies, and they could disappear forever. The current power of this explosion, on the other hand, could only cause a local disaster with a fragnt. Still, it was surprising, leaving them in awe.
’Let’s try sothing.’ Alm said, out of options. Then, all their earth runes were activated to the limit, covering the barrier.
Silent seconds passed, with them anxious. To their surprise, the barrier did not collapse. When everything seed to calm down, the earth runes turned to dust, and the other runes of the barrier imdiately crumbled.
’This... did the laws of the earth really help stop it?’ Bruno was astonished.
Alm replied, also incredulous, ’Maybe... Do you rember how our bloodline suddenly flared up when we were walking in the direction of the formation? From the looks of it, that reaction was due to this Soul Fragnt that just exploded. It must have sothing to do with it.’
Then, the whale felt a trembling squeeze in his hands. Ruri was trembling, and her eyes were moist. Alm and Bruno sighed; fate was cruel when it was in shortage. They looked at Almin, who had his eyes closed, breathing deeply in extre pain, but the plan seed to have worked. As for Langrum...
The dust settled slowly, and everything around several kiloters beca a large, open, and devastated area. Then, they felt Ruri floating, using all her ntal power, completely focused on finding Langrum.
The whale sighed again, and they observed in the distance a bloodied mountain. It was the lifeless Wyvern; even it died easily.
"It’s no use..." they began to say when they were interrupted by the excitent exploding in Ruri.
"She’s alive!" Ruri shouted, pointing to the distant at mountain.
Alm and Bruno focused on feeling sothing and were surprised to notice a small trace of life coming from the Wyvern’s corpse’s direction.
’She... used the Wyvern’s hard body to protect herself... Because they were too far away, the power of the explosion was diminished. The Wyvern didn’t survive, but its body was still hard enough to protect an ant behind it.’ Alm comnted, surprised.
’She acted quickly, and her fate was there. Great...’ Bruno also comnted when a new power pulsation erged from that sa point. The point that had just exploded.
’What? It still has power even after that explosion?’ Alm was shocked.
’It will still take a few seconds to act again. QUICK, BRING LANGRUM HERE!’ Bruno exclaid.
Alm sighed and focused on the formation; it was almost completely destroyed, but it could still be used once or twice for small things.
Another spatial pulsation, making the world vibrate, ca from the distance where Langrum was located. Then, the space near them warped, and a completely red figure erged. Ruri jumped and grabbed the unconscious woman, who seed to be taking her last breaths. Then, the whale brought her close to them.
They turned to the area where they had initially seen that blue point, and it pulsed once again. To their surprise, that Blue Soul Fragnt, even after it exploded, still had a lot of power remaining. It was still there. However, the danger they initially felt wasn’t there anymore. Instead, looking at it, they felt it resonate with their own behemoth bloodline.
’It seems like a calling...’ Alm comnted, sighing. ’We can go back now and count it as a success. But... I feel like we’ll lose sothing very important, and we may never be able to recover it.’
Bruno felt the sa way. Their instincts were warning them very clearly, and those two drops of Behemoth blood running in their veins seed to beg them not to escape.
’The soul fragnt is gathering power. If we delay, there will be no turning back.’ Bruno comnted thoughtfully.
’Are you afraid to take risks? What happened to no risks, no gains?’ Alm said sarcastically.
Bruno didn’t respond and just focused, activating their bloodline to the limit. Their bloodline hasn’t recovered even a third of its strength yet, and the earth laws they used in the barrier consud even more of its power. Still, a subtle brown aura illuminated their eyes.
Then, they took steps towards that blue point. Suddenly, the world froze. That remnant of a soul couldn’t have any intelligence or will because it was so faint, but Alm and Bruno felt as if two frenetic eyes were focused on them at that mont.
The destructive power ceased, and the air seed to warm up slightly with hope. "It is resonating with our bloodline. Is it recognizing us as equals?" Bruno comnted.
Then, a new wave of extre power exploded on the horizon. They imdiately looked to that place, and a beast radiating malevolence and malice spread its wings, which seed to devour all light and life.
’The other Wyvern...’ They both thought at the sa ti.
’If we run away, we’ll lose a lot.’ Alm sighed.
’So, we won’t run away! Take that thing out. It’s worth even more than it.’ Bruno spoke dryly.
From the skies, the male Wyvern saw his fallen and lifeless companion. His eyes reflected the slave seal attached to his bloodline. It had been active for a few seconds, and he had been flying as fast as he could, but he was far away. He still maintained so consciousness, but now he didn’t need that seal to command him. All his power exploded in full force, hatred that couldn’t be extinguished.
All the light within the fifth level was imdiately devoured. Death covered the skies, all laws were suppressed, and the Yin of death consud everything, further increasing its power. Nothing else mattered to that Wyvern; only killing and destroying were in its mind.
That’s when he felt a small round point approaching, a small and fragile ant. It held a gleaming hamr, and in its eyes, he saw only an infinite and malevolent abyss. The Wyvern felt all its Yin laws beco agitated; that was the enemy. He suddenly opened his gigantic mouth. Then, the full power of his essence was triggered. It was the characteristic blow of a Dragon, and the Wyvern’s thin bloodline seed to light up, returning to its origin. It was about to use a Dragon Breath!
The whale smiled even more maliciously. Then, in front of it, a bloody rune the size of a head erged from space. It was the sa bloody rune they obtained from the Divinestone Clan! The one they couldn’t consu due to its overwhelming power!
"Swallow this!" The whale roared with overwhelming ferocity, channeling all its power into a single blow unleashed by the hamr.
The bloody rune shone like the last breath of dusk, and it was propelled with imnse force toward the Demonic Wyvern, cutting through the skies with its sinister brilliance.
Within the abyss prison, on all levels, all forms of life felt an overwhelming initial impact, knocking them to the ground in deep fear, as if the very end of the world were unfolding. This mont seed like an eternity, and then life seed to return to their bodies. However, in the next mont, the earth trembled again.
BOOM!!!
A wave of bloody devastation ruthlessly swept across the entire fifth level of the prison. Ruri witnessed every detail, recognizing the bloody rune that she herself sealed inside the Divinestone Clan. Now, she saw it unleashed in an unexpected way.
The vibrations of the massive power made Almin open his eyes, and even Langrum seed to awaken briefly. Both saw in the skies a sinister rain of black blood and flesh, covering the entire horizon and falling upon everyone like a dark storm. That blood and flesh hit them imdiately, plunging them into total disbelief at the rampant carnage.
A few seconds later, the round and blood-covered figure took steps back towards them. ’What a waste... Well, at least we got a Wyvern corpse.’ Alm comnted.
It was then that, as they approached, they felt sothing even stranger. There was no sound or apparent change, but it ca from that floating blue point, the still active soul fragnt.
’He’s... looking at us with approval?’ Bruno murmured, surprised.
