Chapter 188 - Leaving The Ruin

After screaming for some time, the possessed suddenly silence which could only mean that his consciousness has faded away leaving only a black mist floating there which seems to be on the verge of fading away and seeing this, Jason turns to the three who were still standing beside him as he said. 

"I will be back in a minute".

After saying those words, Jason left them as he began to head to where the black mist could be seen floating while they were looking at him confused as to what he is going to do only to see him sitting down cross leg before the black mist.

After settling himself down, Jason took a deep breath before cultivating the heavens law technique as he began to absorb the black mist slowly until there was nothing left and it was only then he rose from his position. One thing that he figured out about the black mist was that it was a lot purer than the previous one.

"That's because the possessed was in the midst of lightning with help in its purification as it wants to wipe away the foul energy from existence" said the bracelet as he began to explain things to him.

"That explains a lot" replied Jason before heading back to join the others.

It could be said that the others were able to see him absorbing the black mist into his body and were already waiting for an explanation and seeing the look on their face, Jason knew they wouldn't let him go free without explaining himself.

With a smile on his face as he turns to his buddy Austin before speaking up.

"There is this technique that I practice which helps in absorbing energy and since the possessed was made up of energy I decided to absorb and let's not forget that I would be achieving a breakdown into the Golden core soon and I would be in need of energy".

"But that is a foul energy you just absorbed into your body, ain't you afraid that you are going to end up corrupted by the energy" asked Diana.

"You don't have to worry about that, I have already thought of a way to subdue the energy from taking charge of my body" replied Jason with a wave of his hand.

"And what means do you have to subdue the energy" asked Austin with a frown.

"Are you forgetting that I'm cultivating a lightning technique that since to be the foul energy nemesis" replied Jason with a smile? 

"That right boy, with the use of the lightning element, he will be able to subdue the energy whenever it acts up" added Dragic as he reduced his size before resting on Jason's shoulder.

"But he won't be able to do that all the time you know" said Diana.

"Everything is under control so can you stop worrying about me and let's focus on looking for treasure" reply Jason.

"There is no way we will be able to find any treasure in this place or have you forgotten that we have searched through the majority of the room and still couldn't find anything" asked Diana.

"That's right, this place seems to be more of a prison instead of a treasure ground" added Austin as he also agreed with Diana.

"They are right master, apart from the old master legacy, there is nothing in this world that would catch your eye" commented Dragic.

"Since that is the case, let's go check on the others" suggested Jason since they don't have anything to do at the moment.

They all left to check on the other two from the temple of seal since they haven't gotten help from them while they were fighting the possessed which could only mean either they are died or were seriously injured.

After living the room, the group was shocked to see that the whole place was in a terrible state with bloodstain everywhere but no one could be seen and after searching for a while, they were able to see tribe #4 laying on the ground far from the room with wounds all over his body and by the look of things, he won't be moving anytime soon and beside him lays one of the members that has turned against them. 

Seeing the group in front of him, tribe #4 couldn't help but chuckled weakly as he said with blood flowing from the edge of his mouth.

"For you to be standing here, it could only mean that you have already taken care of whatever was sealed in that room".

"You don't need to stress yourself anyone, here have some pills to recover from your injuries" replied Jason before heading forward to place some pills on his mouth which he didn't resist to.

After absorbing the pills, tribe #4 begin to cultivate and Austin was left to look for the other member which could also be in the same situation and before long he returned with tribe #2 who seem to be in a better state than his friend as he was able to walk except for the wound that was showing from his tattered robe.

They waited for some time before the other member was able to recover some of his strength as he let out a smile before bowing to them for helping out. Before asking about how they were able to deal with the possessed, they were able to answer with a little lie to avoid letting out their secret and that was when Austin asked how they were able to deal with their friends that were possessed.

"I don't know what happened, we were just fighting it out when he just let out a scream before rolling on the ground then a black begin to come out of his mouth and he died" replied tribe #4

"It was the same occurrence from my side" added tribe #2.

"It seems like their body loses control after we defeat the source" said Austin.

"Since he is no more, those bodies will only end up as an empty vessel" replied Dragic.
