Chapter 122 - Absorbing The Possessed

Standing by the pity as he waited for the possessed to come out, Jason was ready for whatever was about to happen.

"You know that you won't be able to maintain this state of yours so be fast with it before you end up as it plaything" said the bracelet.

"I know alright but there is no way that I will be able to go into that pit" reply Jason with a serious look on his face as he focuses his attention on the pit with his grip holding tightly to the halberd.

Waiting for some time and the possessed was still not coming out, Jason couldn't help but let out a chuckle before saying.

"I know that attack is not strong enough to kill you so stop acting and come out this minute".

There was total silence as after Jason has spoken but there was no movement from the possessed which was beginning to get Jason angry when the ground he was standing on suddenly cracked and the next thing that happened was a fist coming at him, since he was not expecting the possessed to use underhand means, Jason was unable to protect himself from the attack as he was sent flying.

The others were shocked when they saw Jason crashing into the wall because he has been on the offense ever since he started using his technique.

The possessed begin to crawl out of the pit with a smile on his face as he said.

"Here I am boy, come let's have a fight and see who gets to run out of energy first".

"I thought you would be an honorable fighter but who would have thought that even a powerful entity like you would do something like that" replied Jason as he pulled himself from the wall.

"Oh come on, this is a fight to the death so I am free to use whatever means I can come up with to make sure that I win" said the possessed.

"Then I guess it is time you take your leave" replied Jason before dashing at the possessed with his hand folded into a fist.

"Hmm, you are being too arrogant here" scoff the possessed before he also threw a fist at Jason.

The fists connected and Jason was sent back by the force of the attack and to the possessed surprise, Jason didn't wait for the fall to end before he kick at the wall and forward once again and this time he did not choose to face the possessed head-on but instead he begins to run around the possessed causing a tornado to form as the possessed was being caught in it and within the tornado was a lightning spark going around making it even difficult for the possessed to escape.

"How much energy do you think he might still have after he is done with this attack of his" asked Trace who just stare at the tornado with his head turning around.

"I doubt that he would be able to move after this wave of attack is over" replied Adam.

"Although he is not using his spiritual power to create the tornado, but that boot-like thing on his legs would be very demanding of spiritual energy" commented Austin.

"Meaning he will have to end the fight with this attack else it will be the end for us" asked Diana.

"Is most likely so" replied Austin as he placed his hand on the chin.

She kept quiet as she begin to observe the fight in the air where one could barely see the possessed levitating while searching for where Jason would be coming from.

No matter how he searches for Jason, all the possessed can see was an afterimage all over the place which is making it confusing for him to stop the tornado as an attack would be felt on his behind and whenever he tries to fight back, he will only end up hitting the air. The battle continued for a long time before the tornado begin to go away and that was when they saw the possessed falling heavily on the ground creating another pit in the process.

Just when they thought it was over, they suddenly heard a roar.

"Lightning stomp"

And the next thing they see was the pit getting deeper before coming to a stop with the place falling quiet again. They were all eager to see how it all ended but they couldn't bring themselves to go take a look at the pit. Meanwhile inside the pit. Jason was sitting down with his backrest on the edge of the pit while in front of him lay the possessed that is suddenly fading away.

"Quick boy starts cultivating the heaven's law technique before he fades away" said the bracelet in a hurry.

Not bothering to ask the bracelet while he is instructing him to cultivate the heaven's law technique, Jason quickly sat crossed leg as he began to cultivate the technique, and the moment he started cultivating it, the possessed that was fading away, suddenly stopped and began to flow towards Jason before entering his body.

After he was done absorbing everything, Jason whose eyes were closed suddenly opened as he had a confused look on his face.

"I don't feel any changes within my body" said Jason.

"How can you use that impure energy for cultivation" replied the bracelet.

"Since you know that it won't be of any use to me, then why did you tell me to use the heaven's law" asked Jason with a frown.

"That is because it would be very beneficial to you when you are about to make a breakthrough into the GoldCore realm" replied the bracelet.

"But you said that it is not a pure energy and I won't be able to use it" asked Jason as he still doesn't understand his point.

"I told you to absorb it because over time when you make a breakthrough into another stage, your spiritual energy will be refined which will also be the same for the impure energy that is inside you" replied the bracelet.

"So you are trying to refine the energy of its impurity before it is time for me to make a breakthrough into the GoldCore realm" asked Jason as he now gets the point.

"That is correct but there is a catch to it. And that is you need to make sure that the need doesn't leak out else it would be very disastrous for you" reply the bracelet.

Jason went quiet after the bracelet replied as he began to look up with a smile on his face before finally speaking after some time.

"So all I have to do is stop it from leaking out right".

"That is correct and I believe it won't be difficult for you to do" reply the bracelet.

"Hey Jason are you okay" yelled Austin after waiting for some time to see if anyone would come out of the pit.

"Do you think he will be able to live after sucking himself dry from the last attack" asked Steven as he also looked at the pit.

"If there is anyone who is going to die here then it should be you" replied Austin with a frown on his face.

"Take it easy man, I was only asking since it has been long that we heard anything coming from the pit" said Steven as he took a step back.

"I am fine Austin so stop worrying" replied Jason from the hole.

Hearing Jason say that he is fine really put a smile on Austin's face as he went close to the pit and said once more.

"What about the possessed".

"We don't have to worry about him anymore since he won't has anybody to possess" replied Jason.

They all let out a sigh of relief when they heard that the possessed who has been troubling them all this while is no more and that is when a thought hit Austin as he turned back to the pit before speaking out.

"Since he is no more, then what are you still doing down there". 

"Can't you tell that I ran out of spiritual energy after battling with him" replied Jason in anger.

"Just as I thought" mutters Austin before going back to sit down as he tries to recover some of his energy.

"We will be waiting for you here while meditation so you can take your time" said Adam before sitting down as he also begins to meditate. 

And that is how everyone went into cultivation to try and recover some of their energy since there are no longer pills for them to treat their wounds and since there is no longer danger in the place after they have gotten rid of the possessed, they easily let their guard down.

"It is going to take you some time to recover a little amount of spiritual energy even if you begin to cultivate the heaven's law" said the bracelet.

"Now that we have taken care of the possessed, I am not too bothered about it" replied Jason as he closed his eyes and went into meditation.
