Chapter 1244 - Suppressed (2/2)
However, as Sorokin was about to back off, Han Xiao raised and shoved his hand into Sorokin’s soul. The Mark of The Underworld on the back of his palm instantly lit up, and an astonishingly strong absorption force erupted from it.
“What is this‽”
Sorokin was stunned. This mark felt like a vortex. His soul suddenly went out of his control. Before he could do anything, an irresistible force dragged him inside.
“I got him!” Han Xiao spit out a mouth of boiling blood and grinned.
These changes seemed like they had taken a very long time to occur, when actually it all happened in an extremely short amount of time. If not because all of the Holy Accord cooperated and held back, he would not have been able to defeat Sorokin so easily.
However, only half of the plan succeeded. The problem was not yet completely solved.
“Follow me!”
Han Xiao put on the King while at the same time throwing out a few extras at Oathkeeper and a few other Beyond Grade As who were experts in the soul territory.
The mechanical suit latched onto them automatically. The next moment, Han Xiao shot out a few streams of Mechanical Force and activated the Kings on all of them.
With a flash of light, they disappeared.
…
Plop!
Sorokin felt the world was spinning. He fell onto a black stone ground.
At this time, the unknown energy that pulled his soul only finally faded. Sorokin flew up immediately and observed his surroundings cautiously. He had no idea where Black Star had sent him.
His eyes scanned through the boisterous land. An odd sense of familiarity surfaced in his mind.
Suddenly, Sorokin suddenly remembered something. His soul trembled, and his expression changed drastically.
“Is this the… Underworld‽”
As a Primordial One from the exploration era, he had also heard of the two sisters and was no stranger to the existence of the Underworld.
The only thing left in Sorokin’s heart was disbelief.
Aren’t the two sisters dead? How does the Underworld still exist‽
Why did Black Star send me here‽
While he was being appalled, Onicelu appeared before him out of thin air and gave him an odd smile that made him feel threatened.
“Sh*t!”
Sorokin had no time to think carefully. He hastily rushed up the sky hoping to flee from the Underworld.
If this was another secondary dimension, he would not have been so afraid. However, all Primordial Ones knew that all independent souls were severely countered by the Underworld.
The Underworld was the nemesis of all souls! A forbidden ground feared by all soul life forms!
Onicelu remained in the same place and did not chase after Sorokin, all she did was extend her arm, aimed at Sorokin who was getting further away and tightened her fist.
Buzz!
The Underworld moved according to her will. A mysterious force suddenly appeared, pressing all Hero Spirits in the Underworld onto the ground.
Underworld—Soul Restrain!
The Underworld had recovered to its peak. Onicelu was a professional at dealing with souls!
Even though Sorokin’s soul was extremely unique and had Beyond Grade A combat capability, his flight speed still decreased by ninety percent, and his altitude continued to decrease.
With the same smile on her face, Onicelu performed a ‘pull’ gesture.
Underworld—Soul Arrest!
Thick Underworld energy flowed out from the black ground, turning into countless tentacles that shot up the sky and ensnared Sorokin, trying to pull him down.
Although souls could penetrate all kinds of physical objects, they could not penetrate the energy of the Underworld and would instead be stuck. Sorokin used all his strength to try to escape from the tentacles but could only just keep himself from being dragged down further.
Hu!
At this time, a red tornado rose on the horizon, and Hila appeared. She had been waiting there since long ago.
“It’s you!”
Sorokin was astonished. His soul was not immune to soul attacks; Hila happened to counter him.
“Go down!”
Hila waved her hand. Death energy gushed out like a raging river and brushed Sorokin’s soul down.
Sorokin fell onto the black ground. Onicelu moved her index finger, and chains formed by Underworld energy extended from the underground. They penetrated Sorokin’s soul and locked him down in multiple layers.
While Sorokin was clenching his teeth and trying to escape, a group of people suddenly appeared before him. It was Han Xiao, Oathkeeper, and the others who arrived by the Kings’ teleportation. They all took off the mechanical suits.
Seeing this, Han Xiao smiled. “Looks like you had a fun time with my friends.”
Seeing Oathkeeper and Han Xiao appearing together, Sorokin was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, he understood everything.
“You guys are on the same side‽”
Sorokin was filled with rage and shock. Without hesitation, he immediately tried to contact his manifestation and expose all their secrets.
However, he was dumbfounded once again the next second.
His connections with his manifestations were all cut off!
“Why do you think I spent so much effort to get you in here? In here, unless approved by the Underworld’s consciousness, no one can send soul signals to the outside world. Oathkeeper could not block your ability with absolute certainty, but the Underworld can.”
Han Xiao lightly stepped on the black stone ground under his feet.
“After all… the initial function of the Underworld was a prison!”
