Suddenly a yell could be heard near her. ''Step away from it, it is too strong for you. Kendra, shield, now!'' It was Cethin's voice, but soon it disappeared.
She acted immediately. She had no time to raise a shield, so she went inside that shield in split of the moment. And it seems it was the right decision. The child suddenly was surrounded by so much dark energy that even her heart skipped a beat.
Going to so many worlds she became again aware that her powers are not enough. She was happy that her own powers stabilised, but now she wished her powers were stronger to fight this strange creature in the shape of a human.
She stood from the other side of the shield and looked at his angry expression. ''Show your true form.''
The child stopped raging and blinked at he rin confusion. ''Huh, what is true form?''
Kendra tried to explain. ''The true form is how you look when you are not in human form.''
He tilted his head and started wondering. ''Uhm, what are you talking about?'' It could be seen that his curiosity was peeked.
Isaa slowly floated up and calmly winked Molok to come near. ''Molok, show him your true form.''
The child almost jumped back, as it saw how Molok changed from human to the strange creature and then back. ''He was right, my brother was right. Humans are humans and you all are fake humans. Disgusting, no wonder he is sucking the life out of the worlds. He said humans need to become stronger, much stronger, or demons and fake humans will destroy us. He is right...''
He looked at Kendra one more time and shook his head. ''And I almost liked you and wanted to keep you by my side as a friend. Too bad.''
In blink of an eye, the child disappeared and Kendra's face became shade paler. She closed her eyes and could feel the world energy suction becoming stronger.
She stubbornly opened her eyes and furrowed her eyebrows. ''You are strong, but I am not alone. I am never alone!''
She went onto her knees and pressed both hands onto the floor. ''Help me fight it, I will add power to the shield, you just help me from time to time, please, all of you.''
Isaa pressed neared her hand to Kendra's body and sent sets of shiny lights inside and stepped away. Molok and Calah did the same and soon resto of cultivators did the same. They saw Isaa sitting down and concentrating in cultivation and so they dd the same.
Isaa was stronger than them, so she could inhale the energy faster than others and fill her up faster as well.
Slowly the shield became bigger and bigger and more and more runes appeared on it. The spread of the shield became faster. Now was so fast that they couldn't see anymore ends but saw Kendra still on her knees and summoning rune after rune, that first appeared in front of her but then would float away.
The faster she spoke the more runes appeared and started swiftly flying away towards the shield, that slowly spread first over the continent and then all over the whole world. As she could feel finally that there was no more space for the shield to spread, she finally stood up and in the ancient language started summoning different spells.
Strange darkness started surrounding her and it scared everyone. Thye shook, but still stood still as they saw Isaa concentrating at Kendra's ashenly pale face. ''She is using her core energy to stop intruders. It seems this time we found something really bothersome.''
Molok sat on the floor and inhaled deeply. ''This was the first time to see someone having so much power. That was human? Did we underestimate humans?''
Kendra rose higher and higher and suddenly a familiar voice could be heard. ''It seems our kind made a big mistake. Very big mistake. In our pride about our powers, some of them showed humans how to use it, not knowing about the destructive nature of the humankind. There is a reason why all our creatures need to be humans to cultivate to the middle realm or even to higher worlds. This is crazy.''
Kendra suddenly stopped and at that moment Isaa changed her expression. ''Bad. This is going to be bothersome. She lost most of her cultivation to save your world. This...''
Suddenly her body satrted falling from high above, powerlessly. Like a doll thrown from a high place, her body just fell strangely and turned a few times as she was unconscious, scaring Isaa to the depth of her soul. Isaa started flying up quickly. She must save her as she can get hurt badly. Falling from such a height...
Just before she could even touch her, a warm light enveloped Kendra's body and made her slowly float down. Isaa could see a strange creature holding her softly and looked at it. ''Who are you? No, what are you?''
''I am saint animal of this world. Unfortunately, I couldn't move as I could only use the protective shield. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop the destruction of the world, as they put seals all over my shield. So I was not only protected, I was as well trapped inside of it... But as soon she touched me with her shield, the seals disappeared and I was free. This girl...'' In front of everyone, a beautiful silver ape held her in his arms and softly took to Isaa.
Isaa took unconscious Kendra and put right next to the tree of life. ''Let her in her deep cultivation state. None of you can help her. Th e only thing we can do is let her rest under the shade of the tree of life and cultivate until she doesn't regrow her sea of power. It is damaged. It will take her years to do so. Kendra...''
Isaa waved her hand and under Kendra's body, a soft cloud appeared that just floated on same spot and made her look like a sleeping beauty. Isaa knew how much Kendra hated dirt and bugs, so she summoned the shield, she learned from her, and added few more things to her surroundings.
Suddenly the three of life rose a few of its roots and surrounded her sleeping place. It looked so pretty that everyone gasped in wonder. Even the saint animal bowed his head. ''Sorry, I can't heal her now. I lost too much energy...''
Isaa just sat down and leaned on the tree of life. ''You can start rebuilding the world. The cultivators will help you. I will guard her. Now go.''
She stood up and slowly sat right next Kendra. Holding her hand. ''Sister, I am here. I'll protect you. Relax and cultivate.'' Her soothing voice was heard by Kendra that smiled lightly and then again became like a frozen statue. But that tiny smile was enough for Isaa that started shedding tears.
Kendra's trust was all she needed...
