153 Episode 24: No mercy for those who attack ~ C

But nothing could hide from Feng senses who had been spreading his divine energy for a while. His divine energy was in the shape of threads. Many golden threads that are visible to the eyes extended from his body and crawled all over the cave. These threads entangled with the purplish crystal and Strengthening crystals. With a single swipe of his hands, the threads pulled back towards him, carrying all of the mystical crystals dropped on the ground towards him. Feng had deep pockets but they weren't big enough to store all of these things that numbered in the thousands.

Naturally, these were the times when his gramps house has any uses. Opening a portal to another world, he stored this massive loot into Deicide's soul space.

The others didn't suffer fright or surprise because they had already seen the man in front of them doing that–opening space to another world to store things many times.

The tunnel was wide and blazing all over. There was a high chance for it crumbles upon them, as it was scorching and had cracks all over.

"Sigh~Dracula didn't hold back this time, " Arnold whispered between his breath.

He didn't hold back that's why they all had to make a run for it and reach the end before it collapses over them. The kids couldn't run faster than their limit that's why Arnold had picked them up and placed each on one shoulder.

Running and running they didn't saw the end of the tunnels and the ground beneath them had already started to tremble. They could realize it trembling even though they were inside the protection of the divine shield. It was because it wasn't just the ground but also the walls and every part of the tunnel that was agreeing on giving up and collapsing upon them.

"Let's hurry up. We are almost there!" Feng shouted.

The people running with lower head and heavy breaths tilted their heads to see ahead. What they saw plummeted their morals. Even the end of this treacherous tunnel was blocked by a metallic boulder. The Gangs following the order of their leaders who were serving under the Soul-Devouring creature didn't hold back while creating these traps.

These traps that entrap everyone within the cities and block them from leaving a sector and also stop others from entering into the Sectors. Normally, no one would want to enter but in the case of the military, this was a hindrance that stopped them from vigorously help others out. The people who they were helping are the people who are their enemies. This will act as a setback to even a saint.

Aneurin might have already known of this situation in the city through the use of his satellites and the reports made by the competent and rational members of his organization. That's why his decision to enact a law that forces all the soldiers to be pulled out of the city was made.

Seeing their looks, Feng could only smirk.

"Don't worry."

"Yeah, there is never a need to worry, as long as our Almighty leader is here. Even if the tunnel collapse on us, we would still make it out alive." Jody from behind shouted, but his legs stomped on the ground the hardest. He was so fast that he stood at the front edges of the divine shield. Heck, he could run even faster but then he would leave the safety of the divine shield. Leaving the safety provided by the divine shield was a death sentence to this mortal. The outside was filled with smoke and fire, so they would either die of no oxygen or being burned alive, like a witch bounded to a stake and set on flame

"Don't worry, be it hell or heaven, traveling through them, we would make it out alive~." Arnold Sang in 1990s rock stars way and got confused glares from all sides as his voice was jarring to the ears. "What? You people have never heard of that song? It's a song I just made." Arnold was cracking an old man joke that felt like a cold wind in the middle of this blazing tunnel. Everyone rolled their eyes as they dashed ahead with the best of their abilities.

Jody buddy Khan didn't fare any less than his best in-game buddy. Running side by side, he also shouted, "Don't worry guys, as long as the leader is here, we would make it out alive without a scratch even if a nuclear bomb drop on top of us right now."

Both were trying to boost the morale of others and the self-confidence of the over-confidence overpowered being, but as if Khan was a jinx, an explosion occurred from behind them. 

"Shut your mouth and just run. Last time you said we will all make it out alive, only us two are left. Now, you said that and the tunnel had already started to collapse.

Ahhhhh~" Jamie ran by shrieking and closing her eyes. Khan coughed remembering that one time, at the start of the apocalypse he said that there is no way that they will die, and a steel beam suddenly dropped and killed three group members that stood near him.

"Pufhaaaahahahah!" Feng couldn't control his laugh, as he saw the flame coming from behind like the sea wave and enriching everything inside the cave with its dreadful touches. Even the divine shield was swallowed whole because the sudden bursts of flame were faster than the speed of sound.

It was only after the divine shield was surrounded from all sides by the flame did the sound of the explosion resounded. 

A massive ripple spread out throughout the already damaged tunnel. Further, making the matters worse. Due to the trembling earth, Jamie Shi and Darci fell on their legs. Like a true man, Khan halted in the middle of his sprint and hauled Jamie up. Seeing which Jody was also gonna help his long-lost lover but stopped as Dracula helped her to stand up.

Dracula shouted while dashing ahead and pulling her along, "Don't stop! Keep on running in a straight line. My divine energy is running thin and this shield will disappear the very moment my divine energy ends! Master, hurry up, and break the boulder."

Crack~ Cracks~

The sound of the tunnel collapsing spread out. Right behind them, the tunnels had already dissolved into the ground. They ran ahead in a straight line while the collapse of the tunnel behind chased after them, as if it was Tom and them, Jerry's. 

Feng who couldn't stop laughing while in the embrace of the flame heard Dracula's voice and remembered that his male-servant didn't have a massive amount of energy influx like him. Rather, he could absorb divine energy by merely chanting but Dracula always needed him to get divine energy. 

"Close your eyes and just run without any doubts. I am certain that you guys won't crash into the iron boulder!" He exclaimed, with eyes full of excitement.

He stopped in his tracks; lasting only for a moment. Dracula and the other passed by him. While Dracula was passing by him, Feng muttered, "Witness my wonders, Oh' mortal. His eyes were closed so he didn't say that for Dracula to hear. This was the way Feng decided to power up. Praising himself and getting excited because of his powers is the way Feng power-ups.

Everyone passed through him and soon they will crash into the iron boulder if they didn't stop. Naturally, they couldn't see that as their vision was blurred. Well, everyone couldn't see that except Dracula and Chandni. They could see that because of their X-ray vision.

Dracula also didn't say anything that will make them stop for even a second as the tunnel behind them was collapsing and his divine shield was waning.

The collapse of the tunnel nearly touched Feng, who had halted his footsteps, but in the end, it didn't manage to reach him 

His foot seeped into the muddy ground as he put all of his strength into the right leg. Like a bow suddenly released from an arrow stretched to its limit, Feng leaped ahead. He dashed through them all, like a pantheon who commands all war God. With a single stride, his body flaring up with golden divine energy, as if he was a super Maiyaman, he reached in front of the boulder.

This sudden charge, he halted by plummeting his left foot on the ground, harshly. All that friction, all that velocity, all that power of physics was directed to a single point of his body–His right-hand punch. His waist twisted as his punch carrying the might of 1000000 Jin struck the iron boulder.
