Chapter 1403 Reward From Punishment II

Sirius was about to use his own body to save Kimat but the latter told him to stop. Kimat told everyone that he could still endure and that they should focus on the areas that he was not siphoning. Seeing their brother's resolve, Sirius and Kanlaon focused on protecting the outer area that Kimat could not siphon as it might hit the others.

Kimat's health could be seen dropping at a fast rate, but Saena blasted him with a healing sun beam to bring his health back to full. When Kimat's health dropped back to half, Adrian then used Invigorate to heal him back up. He was not able to use it earlier as he received a major shock when Charon and Dodu suddenly got deleted by the lightning.

Kimat endured the powerful lighting that poured down on him and roared like the king of beasts. Kimat fought valiantly but he could not take on such a huge burden alone. Just as Adrian is about to whip out a talisman that he save for this occasion, the paper that King Yama gave him suddenly glowed and flew towards KImat.

The paper was actually a seal that absorbed some of the lightning's energy and created a barrier using that energy. The barrier protected Kimat for a decent amount of time which was enough for Saena to heal him back up. When the barrier vanished, Kimat only needed to endure a few more seconds of the lighting onslaught.

The lightning punishment ended with Kimat becoming incredibly weak as he actually converted to a smaller form. He suddenly became the size of a small kitten and fell on the ground. Adrian picked him up and caressed him while telling him that he did a wonderful job. Adrian then returned Kimat back to his soul chamber.

When Adrian returned Kimat back to his soul chamber, he suddenly coughed up blood which weakened his soul. He realized that he took more damage than he thought as his soul link weakened. All of his soulbounds are then sent back to his soul chamber in order to strengthen his soul.

Adrian then looked towards the sky and could see that the sky was still quite dark. There was still some energy left being gathered as one last lightning strike will surely happen. Adrian could only smile as all of his team members are incapacitated while all his soulbounds could not be summoned.

"I cannot even use my skills because this damned lightning messed up my own core. At least, we managed to hold on until the last strike." Adrian muttered to himself as he was about to accept his fate.

"Cube of Paradox... commencing absorption of needed energy to transform as host could not produce needed energy... Source for energy has been detected... commencing black hole initiative..." A mechanical voice suddenly stated as Adrian's weapon suddenly shot towards the sky.

The Cube of Paradox that was silent for a long time suddenly spoke as it flew towards the location of the thunder clouds. When it reached the core of the thunder clouds, it then transformed itself into a small black hole that absorbed all of the energy that was collected there. Like a powerful vacuum, the Cube of Paradox emptied the energy of the thunder clouds.

The clouds became clear once again as the skies reverted back to normal. The Cube of Paradox then returned back to Adrian as it went into sleep mode once again. Adrian then sensed that a lot of powerful forces started to move which means that they are not safe there. He knew that he cannot go against them at his current self.

"Quantum Dispersion!" Adrian stated as he forced himself to use that spell.

A powerful pushing force then swept all of the incoming forces which knocked them back unexpectedly. Adrian then gathered all of his team members and forcefully teleported out of their location. He would just view this as a detour but he could not teleport that far.

Adrian chose the mountains he could see in the distance since he would need more time to teleport to a new continent. With his quick thinking, all of them vanished from the area by the time the sly people started to gather at their location. When the onlookers arrived, all they could see is the whole area being extremely devastated.

"Did the divine beast really fail? If it failed then its body should have been here!" One of the immortals stated.

"Maybe it made itself explode earlier which was the force that knocked us all back." Another immortal added as there are some prideful beasts that would destroy all of their body instead of being used by others.

"Investigate the whole area!" One of the immortals stated as he was with his disciples.

"If you want to do that then you have to go through us! You are not the only one that can reap the benefits of this place!" Another immortal stated as fight started to brew.

"Ugh!" Adrian stated as he gently placed his three companions on the ground as he rested.

Adrian then started to recuperate as fast as possible as he used his aether energy to make sure that he gets healed as soon as possible. He teleported them to an unknown mountain that he does not even know if the monsters there are powerful or nor. The one that was the first to start to move was Kabrakan as he was healed by Saena at Adrian's behest.

"Where are we?" Kabrakan asked.

"I do not know. I just teleported us as quickly as possible because of the irritating people that suddenly flew towards our location." Adrian replied.

"I think we are in the Scarlet Mountain Range." Peridot stated as she started to be able to move as well.

"Why is it called that?" Adrian asked.

"It is called that because it is a place where the firebirds claim as their territory. They are descendants of the fire phoenix by the way and also very territorial." Peridot stated.
