"No... I hadn't had the chance to draw in the existing darkness energy..." he shouted, which finally proved to be futile. His body perfectly turned into stone, a high-level seal also used on Desmon.However, the seals do not always last long; over time, their function diminishes, and this happened to Desmon, who had a high existence. Sometimes, it needed to be refreshed, which would consume considerable energy.Hander's breath wasn't strong enough to contain such a flow of energy; he sat with a face full of cold sweat."Hohoho... indeed, doing something like this is truly terrifying. I didn't expect the power I used earlier to be so pressurizing..." He dropped his buttocks onto the parched ground, laughing satisfactorily with the outcome of it all.Not long after, his eyes widened, thoughts crossing his mind about the condition of his currently injured companion. Without wasting any more time, he immediately approached Henberg.From a distance, Henberg was curled up in pain while hold
"Uh...""You finally woke up!" Hander breathed a sigh of relief, seeing his comrade's eyes still open. Henberg had been unconscious for several days. His body was hot with pale skin, symptoms that could lead to death.But, upon seeing Henberg awake, he could feel the breath of life still within him."What happened to me?" Henberg asked innocently."Seriously, don't you remember everything that has happened these past few days?"Henberg shook his head."Oh my!" Hander slapped his head at this."Hahahaha..." But, Henberg laughed in confusion at his friend's concern."What are you laughing at?""Oh, I just feel satisfied seeing your worried face becoming even more worried!""You..." Hander felt the urge to hit his friend's body again, as he often did in the past, but it was different now. Their bodies were too old for such actions.The atmosphere suddenly became silent. Henberg's previously cheerful face turned more serious with sharp eyes."So, what actually happened?""I don't know muc
"What's wrong with this person? Is he drunk?" Zeion continued to observe his opponent's behavior, and in terms of strength, it was still difficult to gauge. His opponent's energy seemed overly fierce, but not entirely dominating.Compared to Zero or opponents he had encountered before, this person's strength was lower. However, that wasn't a guarantee for Zeion to breathe easily.As the attacks came at him with high speed, powerful blows struck, almost rendering Zeion unable to maintain his bodily condition.And then, the onslaught continued with fervor, raining down upon Zeion's body. Although his face was constantly assaulted, it didn't affect his skin at all. He could see the man's hand movements, everything seeming to slow down with such certainty in the laws of nature.Zeion bit scared by the intensity reflected in the man's eyes, diving sharply as if certain that his punches would hit the target."It's futile, do you think I can be defeated so easily?"At this speed, Zeion made
"You're such a fool!"Zeion was startled by those words. "What did you say?" he asked angrily."You may have become stronger, but that's only when facing that creature earlier! What if you try to fight me? Are you brave enough?"His expression changed instantly. So far, his pride might have been just words, but facing Zero, who had more power, felt like a tough task.“Why? Why are you turning away from me?” Zero taunted, his expression provoking Zeion's emotions even more. “Are you scared!”"Hah..." Zeion wanted to retort, but he realized that Zero, once again, wasn't an opponent to be underestimated. If he spoke rashly, Zero might act even more brutally than usual.Zero snorted after receiving no response from Zeion, his body folding with arrogance. "If you're still hesitant to do it, then you need to more focus!""I did try my best earlier, but you suddenly summoned that strange creature! My concentration is shattered now, so what should I do?""Start over!" Zero replied spontaneous
While Desmon was busy dealing with Hander, Hengerg seized this moment to prepare himself using a special power, which he then used to bind Desmon's body. This event resembled what Gein experienced, but the improved pressure produced stronger results.With his great energy, Desmon tried to break Henberg's concentration."Argh... indeed, his strength is immense, but I have enough perseverance to withstand all of this!" His words were merely a statement; the pressure exerted truly had high intensity, even causing difficulty in regulating his breath. "I must endure... I must not retreat from all of this..."He kept trying defend himself, his hands beginning to stiffen and grow cold.Whoosh...Suddenly, Hander approached Desmon's body, skillfully and boldly using special movements that resulted in a binding energy circle. His entire body began to struggle to hold on."Damn, what are you doing?" Desmon exclaimed.Without answering, Hander's hands remained busy assembling something rather st
Inside the special room, several people sat with seriousness etched on their faces. They each wore distinctive attire indicating that they were not ordinary citizens.Three of them sat in silence, refraining from initiating conversation. One had chosen to close their eyes, another was reading a book, and the third was simply gazing around. Each of them seemed indifferent to their surroundings, and if it weren't for someone's insistence, they wouldn't have bothered gathering in this place.Tap! Tap!The door opened accompanied by the sound of footsteps. After seeing, that it was the person they had been waiting for. With a white beard and narrow eyes, it was Henberg.Henberg stood for a moment upon reaching the table, observing the three individuals present. However, there were two empty chairs and only one chair without an occupant besides his.Slowly, Henberg leaned his aged back against the chair. The others began to take it seriously."You've finally arrived!" uttered a man with a
After hearing Henberg's words, everyone present fell silent. They needed quite some time to contemplate all these problems, as it seemed that everything had become so complicated due to Desmon's emergence.Barnom with a grim expression, continued to envision Desmon's presence. He was unlucky enough to see Desmon directly, but from the notes and information received, Desmon's power was enough to make his body tremble."Are you sure that if we unite our strength, we can face this problem?" Barnom asked, showering Henberg with a firm gaze.Meanwhile, Henberg still looked weary and helpless, shaking his head slowly."I'm not too sure if we'll be able to confront that creature. You all understand that Desmon's power is terrifying. Both of us almost perished trying to strengthen the seal on Desmon's body! If we want to defeat it, the answer is impossible. However, if we think about sealing it, that can be done!"In the end, it was the most reasonable choice for them to make. As aging hermit
"For the next few months, right!" Hander quickly sipped on his cup of water, the bitter taste touching his tongue not strong enough to dull his mind."I find it hard to believe that all of this will become so complicated like this!" Henberg replied, accompanying Hander's time."Well, what can we do? In times like this, all we can do is believe that it will still continue!""What about his condition?""Hmm...." Hander's eyes glanced wearily in another direction, a thousand bitter expressions on his lips.From his expression alone, Henberg could guess the condition.However, Hander still said, "With each passing day, I understand less about this condition! We understand that Desmon's power is one of the most dangerous, and if it is ignored, no one will survive! But, on the other side, we must not forget that Zeion will still be present!"Henberg raised an eyebrow, the name Zeion still managed to escape from Hander's mouth despite the slim chance of believing whether Zeion's bestowed vic
