51 Tricked

" Well, you guys are here to kill me right! then what are you waiting for? " Still sitting on the nether flame dome, holding a glowing basketball sized god stone Sukehime asked her attackers.

Sukehime's taunt angered the gray bearded old man, but he did not refute her; instead he signaled his compatriots to begin. Getting the signals from the bearded old man, Hakuun and the remaining used their spiritual strength to ignited the god stones in their hands, then a mysterious power from the god stones entered each of the attackers and under the influence of the energy from the god stones the golden light covering each of them grew brighter and thicker.

Using the attackers as the medium the god stones energy started to power the formation, with the vast amount of energy coming from the 34 god stones the formation lines started to flow with thick golden white energy soon the invisible formation lines were visible to naked eyes due to the thick golden white energy flowing through them. With formation lines becoming visible the 4 elephant star formation was visible, four 8 pointed elephant stars surrounding the black dome could be seen clearly. The sight of four layers made of the 8 pointed elephant star 6oox1000x1000 in height, length and width covering the dome looked exactly straight out of a fantasy book. Four 8 pointed elephant stars, one at the ground level, second layer at 150 meters from ground layer, third layer at 300 meters from the ground layer and the fourth at 600 meters above the ground level together formed the 4 elephant star formation.

The golden light covering the Sukehime's attackers started to spread and join with the golden light coming from the attackers next to them forming a hollow golden white cylindrical with a radius of 500 meters around the nether flame dome.

Hakuun who had finally come to his senses, looked at Sukehime and said " please forgive me teacher, this is not what I wanted when I came here."

'...' Sukehime remained silent as if she did not hear Hakuun.

Gray bearded Old man sneered as he looked at tranquil Sukehime sitting on the flame dome as nothing in the world can affect her tranquility ' how much are you going to pretend, it must be agonizing to be killed in the hands of your own student.' he thought but he did not dare to voice it out as he could not afford offending Hakuun. Hakuun was indeed worthy of being Sukehime's student; his strength could be ranked in the top 10 or even top 5 of the nation, since he is a monk he chose not to fight or compare strength.

Because of the potential, support and strength of Hakuun 13 allied families were willing to listen to the supporters of Sukehime in the capital and give her a wayout, otherwise like their predecessor they would also be silenced.

13 allied families wayout more like putting a chain around Sukehime, Bearded old man looked at Hakuun and a light of contempt shone in his eyes. Anybody can see that the so-called wayout given by the 13 allied families is clearly a way to shame Sukehime. They purposefully laid down the conditions which they know Sukehime will never agree to. In this way they get the loyalty of the Strong masters and are able to shame Sukehime by having her student participate in her assassination. Even if Hakuun realised now it was late because he had sworn his loyalty to the 13 allied families, for that movement Hakuun was the person of 13 allied families, no matter he becomes undead or ghost his the undead or ghost of the 13 allied families. so, he had to go through killing his teachers no matter what. Sucide was not an option unless his master asked of him, since his life belonged to the 13 allied families he did not have the right to end his life.

Hakuun had indeed realised his mistake but he did not regret it anymore because a faint voice in the deepest part of his heart was saying that everything is going to be alright, all is well, this will be over soon. Hakuun did not know why but hearing this voice the chaotic emotions in his heart calmed a little.

Seeing that the formation was complete the bearded old man looked at Sukehime and sighed " to think our nation's hero will die this tragically in the middle of nowhere, quite poetic I think. "then he signaled the other compatriots. With the oldman signal all 34 people drew power from the god stone and ignited the formation, a golden white light completely filled the cylinder covering the dome and a golden white beam of light of 500 meter radius shot out into the sky clearing the dark clouds in its way. This golden white beam lasted for 5 minutes. Then a voice sounded from the formation " enough, guys she should have turned into the dust already." it was the voice of the bearded old man, his tone seemed quite confident that Sukehime was dead.

Under the order of the old man the rest stopped running the formation, when the goldenwhite light cleared they all were thunderstruck and their mouths hung open. Especially the bearded old man who confidently claimed that the Sukehime should have turned into ashes, his face turned purple and his heart almost came out of his mouth as if he had seen something horrifying. Only Hakuun looked peaceful, the voice in his heart grew louder, she is fine, all is well.

The horrifying sense was none other than Sukehime , she was still alive there was not even a single scratch on her but the glow of the god stone in her hand has grower brighter, what's more horrifying is that the even the Nether flame dome was still intact its as if the golden white energy beam had no effect on Sukehime and the nether flame dome whatsoever. This did not make sense that the energy beam was powered by 34 god stones, even if Sukehime is unharmed due to the godstone in her hand but atleast the nether flame dome should have been broken and the people hiding inside it should have been erased from the face of this earth. Finding the result of their attack unbelievable the attackers heart started to beat faster and faster in fear utter and pure fear, the finally understood why the families behind them warned them to be careful again and again. They were able to see what the strength of the world's strongest looks like.

" Is that it, Is this what the proud masters of the 13 allied families can achieve than you guys have really disappointed me? " The golden white energy beam was enough to kill and destroy the nether flame dome over 100 time. But thanks to the swallowing inscription on the basketball sized god stone all the energy beams attacking her and the nether flame dome where swallowed by the god stone leaving Sukehime and the nether flame dome untouched.

Not knowing the reason for why Sukehime and the Nether flame dome were unharmed, and having very shallow knowledge of the rune mastery, the master from the 13 allied families fell to the trick of Sukehime and started to fear her thinking that she was invincible. the so called mighty Masters of 13 allied families were tricked.

If they knew that the Swallowing inscription was just an advanced inscription they would vomit blood in shame. The trick to breaking it is simply overpowering the swallowing force of the inscription and also another way is to outlast the swallowing force. Instead of blasting Sukehime with golden white light for 5 mins they had continued to blast her for another 35 mins then the Sukehime's god stone would have reached the maximum limit it can swallow. It's another thing that by then Sukehime would have brought out another godstone to continue swallowing. But if the masters from the 13 allied families knew that Sukehime's invincible posture is just a trick. then at least they would not lose their hope in fear.

" How can this be possible, how are you still alive? That energy beam was enough to destroy the moon from here. How are you still alive. You monster !! " Yui had lost it. She started to remember the fear, fright, horror, helplessness, powerlessness she had felt 50 years ago. She is near having a mental breakdown.

The Bearded old man, seeing this, shouted at her, " We are not done yet, 3rd prince was cautious and has given me another card Just in case. " Having said that, under the watchful eyes of everyone the bearded old man waved his arm and an antique lamp appeared in his hand. The lamps appeared to be made of metal, but in fact it was painted to look and feel just like metal. In actuality it was made of bone to be more exact cursed bone. Upon closer inspection of the lamp one could notice that the lamp made by the cursed bone neither had an oil chamber or a burner but still a bright yellow flame burned within it. What's more eye-catching was that even though the flame in the lamp burned brightly no smoke came out of its chimney. Clearly this was no ordinary lamp, it was a curse artifact.

Seeing this lamp even the masters from the 13 allied families sucked in their breath in horror.
