Chapter 118 - Protecting Diana

"You mean that you don't have any idea that the lamp can damage the cage but you still chose to attack with" asked Austin.

Diana nodded as a reply which gave them hope as Adam who had been trying to hold himself back from not charging into the cage to give the possessed a beating suddenly said. 

"Now that we now have a way to deal with the cage, I want every one of you to prepare yourself while Diana here does her best to open the cage". 

"Are you nut, have you ever thought about the strength which he wield before thinking of opening the cage" asked Jason.

"You don't have time for that right now and besides since it has been long that he has been sealed in that cage, its power should be on the decline as well so we don't have to worry about that" replied Adam.

"He is right Jason" admitted the bracelet.

"Guess we have no choice then. Diana do you think you can break it open" asked Jason as he turned to Diana who seen to be exhausted.

"I don't know but I think I should be able to do it" replied Diana.

Taking out the halberd as he nodded at Diana to begin the attack which didn't take her much time before she began to launch attack after attack on the cage as the crack that was on the cage begin to expand before breaking and the moment that the cage was destroyed, a powerful wind blow out as they were pushed back before it stopped.

Now looking at the cage as they try to see what is inside only for them to discover that there was nothing inside.

"Did he get killed by the explosion" asked Trace.

"That is impossible, there is no way it would be so weak that he can't survive the hit" replied Jason as he found it hard to believe.

"Since he is strong enough to withstand the attack, then why can't we see him" asked Steven with a frown.

"Hey, how am I supposed to know about that" replied Jason as he turned to Steven.

"Eh guys something is floating in the air" said Diana as she pointed at the target.

When they turn to look at what Diana was talking about, they all have a confusing look on their face except for Jason and Austin who has seen it before to be the black smoke that comes out of its victim's body once they are defeated.

"I think that should be what we have been looking for" said Austin.

"Hahaha, I can't believe that you actually thought you can defeat me with such a weak attack, and now that I am free from my prison, I am going to use all of your energy to recover my long-lost strength" commented the possessed with an evil laugh.

"I knew it was a bad idea to attack the cage now see what you have cost" said Jason with a grit teeth.

"Hey chill out man don't you hear him saying that he will need us to recover his lost strength, so as long as we can protect ourselves against him, we should be able to beat him before he completely recovered" replied Adam.

Adam did not wait for the others to prepare before dashing forward as he slash his blade at the possessed who effortlessly floated to the side as Adam's attack went past him. When the others saw Adam in action, they couldn't hold themselves back as they also charge forward attacking the possessed with all they have but no matter what they do. They couldn't get a hit on the possessed due to his ability to move in the air.

"Haha, you are only wasting your time throwing colors at me…." Said the possessed before an energy ball landed on him as he was sent flying back.

After coming to a halt, the possessed turn to where the attack came from only to see Diana breathing heavily with the lamp still in hand.

"How come she still has energy left to throw another attack at me. I guess I have to deal with her first before I end up dying by her attack" said the possessed to himself in a low tone. 

Seeing that Diana could still shoot at the possessed, Jason walk up to her as he place a hand on her shoulders to support her. 

"Are you okay" asked Jason.

"Uh, I guess I won't be able to assist you guys to deal with him" replied Diana with a weak smile on her face. 

"You have done more than enough and all that is left for you to do right now is to recover some of your energy" said Jason as he passed her a pill.

Taking the pill from Jason, Diana was just about to place it on her mouth when she saw the possessed flying in her direction.

"Look at" warned Diana.

Jason was surprised by Diana's action and has to turn to see what she is warning him of and that is when he saw the possessed coming in their direction and Jason was left with no choice but to take a fighting stance.

"She is the one he is targeting and not you Jason" advises the bracelet.

"Why go after her when she has no energy to give to him" asked Jason.

"That is because she is more of a threat to him" replied the bracelet.

"How can someone as weak as Diana be a threat to him" asked Jason.

"Didn't you see that she was able to destroy the cage with her attack and that is something you guys couldn't do with your powers put together and let's not forget about the attack that landed on the possessed not quite long which you all fail to do, now tell me who do you think would be his target if not Diana" replied the bracelet.

"If would have to be her since she is the only one who has been able to land an attack on him" mutter Jason before turning to Diana as he said.

"Don't you worry, there is no way that I am going to let him harm you".
