Was this the power of a Supreme? Their bodies were practically ie would not be enough They would be exposed to the fallen God's wrath as they prepared for their next move He ordered dehht with him for this mission One was equipped to deal with mental attacks and summoned a wall of force to protect they His hty abilities could peer into the hearts of all hu first he released tentacles of psychic force They pierced the form of this human before he was prepared and ripped away his round Not a single wound was visible, yet in a ht

As for Lucian's intractable power? To the God this was no such threat His precious crystal could only transfory could be felt If the power did not exist on the sae Crystal's power held no sway

Lucian was preparing to call for a second volley, but the Cloud God was already prepared A burst of h the corridor The saed in everyone's htnant with a paralytic force

Faster than they could react, the tentacles wrapped theed them into a universe of utter darkness

It was different for everyone Weaker illusory chains rapped up in several layers For stronger ones, they ether unyielding The strength of the illusion was determined by the spirit of the one they bound

Lucian, on the other hand, was unbound Hisfor such base illusions tohold hie place he could not give play all of his abilities It was this fact he fretted over as the Cloud God reappeared before hiround fractured Stones rose His Sage's Crystal flared and transfory They were cast at the Cloud God and found purchase! Boom! The God was blasted to pieces and disappeared

Keep going! Don't let your will collapse! You can't allow your spirit to cru as his mind prevailed it didn't matter how often he died in this hell!

For an ordinaryonce or tas all it took Those of more tenacious will made it to four or five What would Lucian achieve? A hundred? Two hundred? Give hundred?

At final tally, Lucial Ambrose had died three thousand six hundred times For what felt like an eternity, the Cloud God found h Priest ht back, but invariably failed This went on thousands of tier
