377 Devour, Sensory Deprivation, and Time Seed (1/2)
Duna pondered.
The strain brought by using the third level would have pushed her body beyond the breaking point. She would have destroyed themselves.
Although Temporal Suspension had no offensive capability, its power was not inferior to the First Level of Destruction Law, Disintegration.
In other words, Divinities that have comprehended the Third Level of Temporal Law were comparable to Divinities that comprehended the First Level of Destruction Law.
If the Second Level, Stagnation, was the deceleration of time, the Third Level, Temporal Suspension, was the actual stopping of time.
But even then, the Third Level was not the highest level of attainment a being can achieve in the Temporal Law.
Duna found out through the Divinity fragment that there were rumors of a fourth and fifth level. However, Divinities capable of achieving such heights during that age should have been few and in between.
Duna treaded the barren ground and drew herself closer to the enemy until she stood right before a Behemoth-class Bone Demon, mismatched in size.
The Behemoth-class Bone Demon was 4 times her height, but she was not intimidated by the difference. Nothing could intimidate her, and even more so when affected by Stagnation.
She reached out her pearly white but crack hands and placed them on the leg of the Behemoth-class Bone Demon before a powerful suction force began to rob the undead demon of all its power.
'Darkness Law Third Level, Devour!'
The Darkness Profound Energy and Death Energy forcefully entered Duna's half corporeal body and became apart of her strength.
As for the Behemoth-class Bone Demon, it was no more, returned to death's embrace after Duna absorbed the force that steered it.
The Behemoth-class Bone Demon still had its shape, but it was already beginning its slow decline into a heap of bones on the ground under Stagnation's effect.
'I should be able to mend myself with this—no, it's not working. It can only help me recover slightly. The damages brought by the Destruction Law cannot be healed. Dammit! The consequences are direr than I anticipated. What can I do? I cannot let Lumi see her body like this.'
Duna frowned.
She grabbed another Behemoth-class Bone Demon and absorbed its power, but there were no longer any changes to the cracks on her body.
She bit her lip in frustration.
'Stagnation is about to end.'
She observed the increasingly unstable temporal domain before retreating towards her original location.
After the temporal domain collapsed and dispersed, the flow of time in the area returned to normal, and the battle between the two sides resumed like nothing had happened.
'Sigh, it is all my fault. If It is not because I wanted to test these powerful laws, our body would not have been in this current state.'
Duna felt regretful, but she did not have time to dwell on it. She can only seek the solution after the battle.
'Darkness Law Second Level, Sensory Deprivation!'
The power of darkness gathered and swallowed Chief Valencia and the surrounding warriors attempting their breakthrough.
”What's going on here? What is the banshee trying to do?!”
”I cannot see anything! My… my voice! I cannot hear my voice! But I am surely talking!”
”It seems only my sense of touch is still here…”
Many warriors panicked.
Everyone in the area was also caught in the skill and found themselves in a world of absolute darkness and robbed them of their sense of sight, smell, and hearing.
Duna stood outside of the dark dome and picked up the bone whistle hanging around her neck before playing a ghostly tune.
An elusive power rippled across the battlefield and stunned all the encroaching enemies with her soul attack.
