Chapter 178: Darkness Controller (1/2)
The addition of space created an explosion of pure shockwave as all forms of matter were temporarily pushed forward and how the invisible space shrank back.
The entire underground area trembled from the sudden explosion, and the shockwave continued to ripple out within the underground region, causing instability and many of the rocks to collapse.
The teams of Hunter, Hems, and Hemsey heard the sounds and immediately took action to defend themselves from the explosion by jumping on the sides as the shockwave passed through.
Everyone felt a strange shaking sensation around them.
”What was that?!” Hunter was shocked.
”Whatever that was, we have to hurry to save my sister!” Myas led the way as they moved.
Martha was trying to open her eyes. She felt a strange heaviness in her mind as negative thoughts were trying to overpower her.
Her entire body was weak and heavy. There were various wounds all over her body as if blood began to gush out of it.
She managed to open her eyes and see the area around her.
All of a sudden, a strange series of ringing sensations occurred all over her body as she felt the heaviness disappear.
”Master! We need to escape! Those dracanaes are strong! They are roughly equal to level thirty human cultivators!” A voice warned her.
”Do-Dorothy?”
”Yes, master! We have no time! We have to hurry!”
”I can't move my body!” She cursed as she tried to move.
”I will try to use my soul to merge with your body and stimulate forceful regeneration! You have to buy time to do that! I will focus the healing inside the body first so that they won't notice!”
”I understand. What happened? Why are you so helpful now?”
”Lord Kyriachos did as he said. He bound my soul to yours and instilled a powerful curse in me. I cannot do anything to harm you, your master, or anyone you deem important.”
”Those dracanae are wounded! I estimated that nothing I did could injure them. What injured them?”
”That attack can't happen again! Master, I can sense that the remains of my physical body have been taken in by that dracanae. I can roughly guess what happened. But right now, we need time! Ask them about the dragon heart! It should be gone! When Kyriachos collapsed the space, it should have taken it! Instead, that dragon heart is now in you! In your Time-Space core!”
The five dracanae was slowly approaching her.
The wounds that they received from the attack were still recovering. Their bone was being mended as they walked.
”She has no more power left! Let's go!”
”Go ahead. You can take the first bite.” Another dracanae sneered.
The first one frowned and saw that no one was willing to risk attacking her.
They were now more wary and careful. The attack forced them to use a great amount of dragonic energy to recover. And as Dark Dependent creatures, they were similar to golems who would constantly use up energy the more they move or use powerful attacks.
Meanwhile, Martha noticed something that she could now do.
”What happened? How is this possible?!”
”Master! You must focus!”
”I am focusing! Dorothy... Listen. I have a plan!” Martha explained. Martha did her best to look strong and glared fearlessly at the dracanaes.
The five noticed no helplessness or fear in her eyes and made them even more cautious.
”What was that power? I sensed that the darkness was forcibly expelled from her.”
”She must have used that ability to throw away the darkness. She physically removed the darkness from her body.”
”Hahaha! You still don't get it? You lost the dragon heart! You can't feel it anymore, can you? I triggered a force explosion and sent it to that realm! My knights were after your heart since the start! And now we have it!” Martha laughed.
The five dracanae froze as they heard it.
Martha was forcing herself up as she laughed.
”Death Ripple made it hard for you to sense it! You didn't notice that your dracanaes have been decreasing! And you didn't even sense that your heart is sealed!”
The five dracanae immediately called out to the heart and sensed it through their cells. But they couldn't sense it anymore.
