50 You Must Survive 3 (2/2)

The cube slowly separated into 4 equal parts, opening to reveal an incomparably bright orb.

SSSHHLIIIINGGG

A beam of unfathomable power charged towards Dyon. Even among the destruction of the world and the sneers of the geniuses or even the pounding of his own heart, there was no sound to be heard. There was only the beam and death. Only despair and resentment. Only killing intent and the end of everything.

Dyon smiled bitterly, 'to really be forced to this extent…'

BOOM!

A celestial being appeared before Dyon, defending against the beam, ”Dyon! I can't block it all! Prepare yourself!”

Dyon gritted his teeth, ashamed. He had to use his master's last bit of will to defend against a boy not much older than him!

”AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!” Dyon felt his inner organs tearing apart as portions of the beam passed his masters weakening defenses. No matter what he tried, he couldn't mend them back together.

Dyon grit his teeth, watching the strong back of his master fight to protect his life, 'this is the last of her power… the last piece of her in this world… and yet it'll disappear like this?...'

The beam slowly weakened. The geniuses smirked, only Niveus stood there, pale faced.

'Master… I'm sorry for being so useless…'

Dyon felt a warm smile in his consciousness, 'I never expected you to take me as your master… But, consider this as my last gift to my first disciple… I never wanted you to represent the Celestial Deer Clan and face the world, but… I felt an indescribable happiness when I felt your resolve… thank you little one…'

'Master! No! He must have something here that could preserve his soul!'

A beautiful face turned to Dyon, shaking her head, 'I can't use such evil techniques just to maintain my life… I'll entrust the rest to you…'

The beam of light slowly disappeared. Fading with it was the last smile of Dyon's master.

”You cowardly men! He just saved out lives! You disgusting pieces of trash!”

”Don't be like that Niveus,” Elof said with a smirk, ”he didn't do it to save you, he did it to save himself. Although, I should thank him very much.”

”You –You disgust me!”

The smiles on the geniuses' faces froze as they heard a cough.

Dyon clutched his stomach, coughing up blood. He tried to use his aurora flame to heal himself again, but it just wasn't working, 'is this because of the device?...' suddenly a thought flashed across Dyon's mind, 'is it because of the sage demon essence blood?...'

Dyon had no time to think, he had to immediately get himself out of this situation.

”You?!!”

'I don't have potent enough pills to heal me… and I have to make a contract with this tower so I don't have time to use the pill condensation technique.. FUCK! I can't let this trip only yield a masochistic technique. I need this tower to get away too!'

”GET OUT!” Dyon's voice boomed in anger as the world crashed down around them.

Dyon imposed the last bit of soul of the Sage within his body, tossing everyone but himself out of the tower and teleporting to the control room. Getting there, he wiped the last bit of the Sage's will before rushing to the center and sitting cross legged, ignoring the trembling world and the pain.

Dyon gritted his teeth, fighting against the pull of the teleport to drop his blood onto the tower's mechanism. He slowly controlled it to the pattern of the array, ensuring that his blood outlined the entire formation.
