Chapter 182 - The Plan

Just as they were waiting, they suddenly heard a voice from within the dust.

"As I have said before, you are too weak" said the possessed as he begins to make his way out of the cage after creating enough opening for him to pass through.

Watching as he forcefully came out of the cage, Austin couldn't help but feel his hand go numb out of free.

"This one seems to be far stronger than the one we faced in the ruin" he said as he held onto his sword tightly.

"It still doesn't make a difference since we already know his weakness" replied Jason as he continued to watch the possessed.

The possessed couldn't help but let out a grin after seeing their current state unlike they used to be when he was still inside the cage.

"A moment again you guys were claiming to be powerful enough to defeat me but just take a look at you now as you are finding it difficult to move" he said as he let out an evil laugh before continuing.

"Tell you what, I am going to pretend that I didn't hear what you said earlier about defeating my other part as long as you pledge to be my servant else don't even think of getting out of this place".

"Sorry but our answer still remains the same so do your worst" reply, Jason.

"Very well, don't blame me for being cruel on you then" said the possessed as he let out a roar while his aura begin to soar and before long the three could feel the kind of pressure they would feel when standing against their grand elder and it doesn't seem to be coming to a stop as his energy continue to soar.

"Do it now Diana" yelled Jason knowing how difficult it would be for them to face off with the possessed if he were to continue with what he is doing.

After getting an order from Jason, Diana didn't bother to waste any time before releasing all the energy that she has stored inside the mystic lamp as a multitude of bright arrows begins to head for the possessed and seeing the attack heading his way, he let out a chuckle before raising his hand as a dark energy gash out of his hand while heading forward to intercept the arrow attack while he continues to regain his strength. 

When the arrows and the dark energy clash together, the possessed let out a scoff before focusing on increasing his strength as he taught that attack of his would be enough to put an end to them but to his surprise, the arrow didn't seem to be destroyed as the dark energy he sent forward begin to shrink as the arrow continue with his advancement until there was no longer any dark energy in its path before it pierces into the body of the possessed as he let out a painful scream.

"Get ready to fight and don't forget to use your lightning ability on him" said Jason to the dragon. 

"Rest assured, I have fought with him previously along with my master so I knew of his weakness against lightning" replied the dragon as he jumped down from Jason's shoulder and began to grow in size, and within seven breaths, the dragon had already returned to his original size as he let out a powerful roar.

"Hey, can you still feel his aura?" Jason asked the bracelet since he is the only one who can tell if the possessed is in a critical state.

"His aura seems to drop a lot after he was hit by the mystic lamp, but I still don't think it will be enough for the four of you to stop him" replied the bracelet.

"You don't have to worry about that since Diana will continue to subdue him while we attack from the side when he least expects it" said Jason.

"Who would have thought that a young girl like you would be in possession of the faith lamp, Dragic I still can't believe that you are alive after all these years but it is quite a shame that you have gotten weak" said the possessed as he took a step forward.

"What can I do other than to seal myself away until I found someone who is worthy to be my master. And besides, you don't seem to be in a better state" replied Dragic.

"The only reason why I am in this state is all because of that stupid lamp that your shameless master decided to keep with him but it doesn't matter since she has not discovered its real power" said the possessed in anger as he look in Diana way.

"It must be fate because I remember my master gave it away after you were locked up so enough with the complaint" replied Dragic.

"I knew that there is more to this lamp than meets the eye, I guess it was worth it for me to go through all those pain just to get it" said Diana in excitement.

"Don't get your hope up yet kid for you are still far from utilizing its full strength and if I am not mistaken, you can't use that attack more than three times" reminded Dragic when seeing how happy Diana was.

"Don't you think it is wrong to reveal this at this time?" said Diana which also clarified that Dragic was right about her being able to use the attack three times. 

"He already knew about the faith lamp ability and flaw and let's not forget that now that he knew you had it in your possession, it would be very difficult to attack him with it" replied Dragic.

"So we are back to fighting a tough opponent" said Austin with a sigh.

"Not really, as long as we were able to distract him enough for Diana to land a hit on him, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat him" replied Dragic as he came up with a plan.
