620 The Forbidden Power (2/2)
Michaux was brimming with anger as he weaved the deadly spell of revenge. Nothing would give him solace more than the death of his enemies. He had foolishly thought that by avoiding violence, he'd be able to reach enlightenment. But little did he know that violence was the reality, and it was even rooted in the divine path.
The water element around him felt his anger as it swelled and riled violently. Standing abreast of him was Guan Dongyang, who had already thrown himself into a fiery trance.
Both Michaux and Guan Dongyang were taken aback when they first heard Wang Tong suggesting this spell. They both knew that it was an extremely risky move. But for that breed of men who were half in love with teetering on the edge of their lives while peering into the deepest secrets, the danger was simply a spur.
To complete this spell, the doublet needed one more caster, and not just any caster; it had to one with power that surpassed the sum of the other two.
Standing right in the middle of the two casters, Wang Tong merged placatory soul energy with the ice and fire.
While the mastery casters worked industriously to wave the spell, Lie Jian had fallen asleep soundly. He knew that when he woke up again, the crisis would have been averted. Although Wang Tong was his opponent, he was also his most trusted friend.
It wasn't until then that Harmon finally realized that he had missed a key element in his calculation: Wang Tong!
As the spell was ready to consummate, Wang Tong folded his hands and then shifted through a dozen hand signs with impressively agile fingers. Afterward, he drew his hand back to his sides as a burst of soul Essence shot through the air, his body suffused with a golden gleam.
Spurred by Wang Tong's soul essence, the other two casters hastened the shifting of hand signs and supplied him from their deep reservoir of soul energy. The two worked in unison as if they had been practicing for years, together with Wang Tong, the trio united in a trinity.
The Wang Tong didn't pitch forth the power right away; instead, he kept it in him where it multiplied.
Harmon was speechless. This much energy should have torn an immortal apart, much less a human's mortal coil. Wang Tong's power was not from this world—to be able to contain two extremities in one body, it was the power of a god.
The fire burned and water frizzled; coaxed by Wang Tong's golden soul essence, the two energies merged into one. Much like nuclear fusion, this process created a power of unimaginable scales, and it burned like a sun inside Wang Tong's sea of consciousnesses.
Harmon's face paled as he realized that he should not have let Wang Tong join forces with the other two mastery casters. But, it was all too late; the tables had turned, and the hunter had become the prey.
Suddenly, Wang Tong opened his eyes and all warriors and mounts of Battle Wolf pulled back to safety inside the building. All this while, the direwolves howled in excitement.
The sunshine pierced through the dark clouds, and for a split-second, Harmon had seen his death in the warm sunlight.
God's Lament—Mercy of the Dawn Goodness!
Pure energy, devoid of elemental attributes tumbled out from the middle of the trio. At first, there was no sound, just a high and thin din at the edge of hearing. A second later, it was as if the entire ocean was coming at the Zergs.
KOMMMMM!
Harmon's shivered. He was still able to control his body but not the parasite Zerg inside his chest. It was paralyzed by fear after he had sensed the power coming after it.
Wang Tong had used the forbidden power, the power of God.
The energy tumbled down from the top of the building and flooded the city, devouring anything in its path. Even the heaviest Zerg armor would disintegrate down to the molecular level in an instant. It pushed itself forward, washing away the sins residing in the city.
A purple guard threw himself at the deadly wave, but he disappeared in an instant as the wave carried on.
As the trio continued the spell, the deluge soon breached the wall and inundated the land outside the city.
