(MC POV)
All of them had their heads bowed low, not even daring to et my gaze. The lich seems much more subdued than before, even after I told her it was fine she still executed a perfect dogeza in front of , apologizing for her earlier rudeness.
??
Right now, all of them were on their feet, ready to take their revenge on those that locked them in here in the first place.
Well the pressure's on now, it will be utterly embarrassing if I actually fail to do it.
Right, let's recap.
I've got an assortnt of various beast monsters; a lich with her group of undead minions; so squid face monster who is also a psychic; a floating eyeball that had even more eyes on its eyestalks that I still don't know the capabilities of; a giant bear owl or owl bear, no idea what to call it; a group of orcs and kobolds that seem to have beca one big family sohow; then there's the hydra and behemoth just chilling at the back.
Last but not least, there's the hundred tailed giant foxes to go with them as well. I won't say much, but if I was standing on the other side of this group, I would probably not be sticking around.
Ok, that's not true. If they were threatening my disciples' safety, I would probably just wipe them all out without a second thought. But right now, even if I can take on the army of Dark Sect mbers waiting just outside by myself, having soone watching my back still gives a reassuring feling.
"Ok, just to make sure, I don't think the hall is big enough to accommodate either of you two," I pointed to the two foxes. "Got anything you can do about that?"
The white fox nodded, "We can shrink ourselves to a certain extent. It will still be larger than our behemoth and hydra friend but I think it should be fine…"
Right… Well, worse cos to worse, it's just the ceiling coming down on top of us, not really a big deal.
Focusing my senses back within myself, I drew in the energy of the stars again to fuel my powers.
I felt the breath of everything around , how their muscles squeezed and relaxed with every movent they made. The sound of them gulping down their saliva was as loud as a boulder dropping into a pond, drowning out their already deafening heartbeats.
At the height of it all, I felt their very being as though everyone was connected to sohow. It felt so full of… Life.
This was sothing I never felt before this.
I'm starting to think that Sylphy might be right sohow but there's still that little nagging feeling that this might not be the full story.
Honestly, it didn't really matter to as long as I get to continue my simple life and spend the days getting pampered by my disciples.
Oh right, shouldn't get too distracted now. This is a crucial point where I have to direct the accumulated energy towards a single point to hopefully get us out of here.
It's actually not that hard to break a sealing orb actually, all you need to do is to punch a hole through it and the entire thing will shatter. Even if it's a pinprick sized hole, that will be enough.
Unleashing the energy as a beam, it hit sothing invisible in the air and created a crack.
Behind , I heard the audible sounds of a few hundred beings gasping all at once.
"So easily?!"
"All of us couldn't even do it together…"
"Isn't it true that trying to create a pinprick hole on a normal sealing orb from within is like destroying an entire world?"
"He's the real deal…"
I managed to ignore all the whisperings to concentrate on widening the crack before finally delivering the blast that should punch a hole through it.
The last thing I actually expected was that the hole was much, much bigger than the pin prick size I was going for.
An entire section of it exploded into minute shards and we could even see the face of the person holding the orb lighting up in surprise, right before all of us were surrounded by an aura of blinding light.
The guy who was carrying the orb probably wanted to move out of the hall when he got in it, moving all the way to the front of the crowd.
That ant when we were freed, all of us now occupied one side of the hall while the Dark Sect mbers occupied the other side, a nice line dividing up the two sides. At least the hall was big enough for both the foxes to fit in without destroying the ceiling.
Everything beca so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
"Ah… The pulse of latent psionics within such weak, fragile minds… I've already forgotten how it feels to feast on them…" The squid head guy muttered behind .
"Finally… I get to see sothing new rather than that emptiness of darkness…" The eyed monster muttered, almost tearily.
The orc leader sniffed the air, "Heh... ya sll dat Boyz? dat's da sll uv fresh at!"
The kobold beside him wiped at his mouth with the back of his arm, "Kehihihi! We can finally hunt!"
"Fascinating living specins…" The lich mused. "It's been a while since I got the chance to do so experints on them…"
"The aether… It's been so long since I felt its embrace…" The giant Behemoth sighed in a high pitched voice I never thought would co from soone that big.
"At lassst… We are finally free… Thisss isss a debt we will not forget!"
The two biggest beings in the room stretched themselves to their full height, their heads pressed against the ceiling and their tails a mass of writhing fur. Even for a shrunk version of them, they are still huge.
"Ehehehe~ When was the last ti we were outside sister?" The red one giggled.
The white one yawned, "Too long… I suppose these things will serve as a good way for us to stretch ourselves a bit…"
At that ti murmurs began spreading through the Dark Sect mbers.
"Did he just… Unite the monsters…"
"Since when can they speak?"
"No wait… He broke the sealing orb from the inside? Even when it's inscribed with the strengthening inscription?"
"Should we… Should we run?"
I raised my hand and all the whisperings stopped almost instantly.
With a slight smirk on my face, I swung my arm down to my side.
All the monsters behind roared and charged.
