Chapter 717 Cap 715: No Time For Explanations

After the heroes left and I left my orders to Diana and Vanessa, I gather Freya and my Familiars close to me while Vanessa is creating a temporary barrier using holy magic to prevent others in town from seeing us.

"I have a way for all of you to help, you all have pure elemental affinities, but everyone's bond is with me." (I)

"That means your power would have to be gathered within me to act together for this to work, which it won't." (I)

"Your body wouldn't resist." (Nix)

"Exactly, that's why I'm going to create a crystal with my blood through which everyone's power can be channeled." (I)

"That will work?" (Ragnar)

"The blood is still a part of him, so it should work." (Sakura)

"I hope so because if it doesn't work I'm going back to the original plan and abandoning this place." (I)

"None of us would want to hurt you, so there's no reason to do something so risky." (Freya)

"What we are doing is already riskier than what we did in the holy land, I at least had time to prepare everything back then or I wouldn't have done something so risky." (I)

"What should we do?" (Sakura)

"After I crystallize my blood, Freya and I will be facing each other while touching the crystal, the rest of you will be around us in a circle transferring your powers and Auras to the crystal." (I)

"You must keep the supply of Aura and energy constant, with Freya's help will use our trinity with nature to harmonize these energies and Auras with ours." (I)

"Layla and Nix know the rest of the process, it was the same for creating the Cradle of Fairies and Cradle of Spirits." (I)

Layla takes a serious look at her surroundings, the playfulness fading from her voice as she looks at me with concern.

"The weight of all this will fall on you master." (Layla)

"My Cradle of Spirits was smaller than this city back then and you almost didn't make it." (Nix)

"The master is not alone, I will carry half the burden, this time we don't need it to be perfect harmony, our goal is just to delay the collapse of the natural harmony of this place." (Freya)

"Buy time..." (Hinata)

"Exactly." (Orion)

"We don't have time, let's start now." (I)

With my sign all my Familiars returned to their original forms, Layla was with her four arms and rainbow colored wings, Ragnar returned to the form of an Alicorn with his crystal blade horn and wings, Nix also returned to his form of Dragon being the largest of my Familiars in terms of size.

I slash my wrists as I control my blood to come out and become a floating sphere that begins to crystallize as everyone takes their positions.

When the red crystal sphere is ready I start sending my Ki, mana, and spiritual energy using all my pure elemental affinities with my hand touching the left crystal it starts to glow with rainbow colors.

Freya also touches the crystal using the same energies and elemental affinities as me, we took a few seconds to harmonize our energies together before sending our Auras, because my Aura is much stronger than hers I had to concentrate more to harmonize the two together.

Soon after my Familiars started sending their energies and Auras to the crystal making the multicolored light so strong that the crystal was no longer visible.

Harmonizing all these energies and Auras together was a big effort, but it was a little easier because they are my Familiars and I have a strong bond with all of them.

At that moment I no longer had the luxury of observing the surroundings, my concentration was all on the crystal and controlling all these energies with Freya.

It seems that I was right not to let this harmonization of energies happen inside my body, even being so close is already making my body ache as if an electrical discharge was running through my body continuously.

I could feel that the blood crystal was not holding up as well as I had expected, it was slowly cracking, I couldn't see it because of the intensity of the multicolored light, but I could feel it since this crystal was made of my blood.

It took me a few more minutes to get proper control of this energy alongside Freya before mixing this energy with the Auras already inside the crystal while expanding this powerful junction of Auras into the surroundings.

"Huh!!!!!!!" (I)

"Ahhh!!!!!" (Freya)

As we expanded the Auras it was already difficult, but when trying to harmonize this powerful Aura with the environment it was as if someone was trying to separate pieces of my flesh with me conscious.

In the same way that we were trying to harmonize the environment, the opposite was almost happening, the environment was trying to make our energies and Auras go out of control as they collapsed.

It turned into a battle of resistance which I knew I would lose sooner or later, but even so, we continued to expand our Aura throughout the city, which only increased the pressure on us.

We weren't able to Harmonize anything in the environment as was the plan, but at least we managed to stop the situation from worsening, it will take more time, so all I could do was keep this situation long enough for that Hero to take care of the rest as promised.

----------

Pov Allan (Hero of the God of Justice):

"Is he going to be at the Palace?" (Allan)

"If he survived, yes." (Bianca)

"This disaster happening now means he must have been there, I hope he doesn't die or I won't be able to activate this thing and the city will disappear." (Bianca)

"Bastards are hard to kill, they're good at picking the right time to run." (Allan)

We're running to the Palace as the city crumbles around us, the earth is shaking and cracking giving way to thorny plants growing to destroy the surroundings as the rain of ice spears continues to fall all over the city, people are hurting themselves or dying as we run to the Palace, I can't help but look around as I run full of frustration.

"..." (I)

"Stop thinking about what you can't do, we have to get to the Palace if we are to have any chance of saving this city." (Darcia)

"I know..." (I)

"Then stop looking you idiot, you're already helping them." (Darcia)

"..." (I)

When we arrive at the Palace after running at full speed for more than 10 minutes, we see that the barrier is erected to protect the Palace.

"Are we going to have to talk to them?" (I)

"We do not have time." (Bianca)

"Then it's going to be the hard way." (I)

I focus my Ki and mana, my fist, and my Roma Aura out of a large chunk around my arm to further amplify the power of the blow using all my strength.

"< Fist of Condemnation >" (I)

I feel my blood boiling as I focus all my power on my fist which turns metallic as it grows to 3 times normal size as my surrounding pine shaped Aura becomes almost solid before I hit the barrier around the castles creating a wave of shock on impact.

The barrier was more powerful than I imagined, but a crack formed where we passed before it closed, no guards or soldiers would be able to stand in our way in this place and we didn't have time to explain the situation.
