Book 13, Gebados – Chapter 8, Downfall
The four Demigods under Ojwin’s leadership included Ojwin’s son. Having undergone so many training experiences in the Gebados Planar Prison for so long, each of them had power on par with Beaumont. How could Linley’s three-man alliance block the attacks of all four of them?
“The two of them are working together, while my ‘Hymn of the Wind’ is only capable of attacking one person at a time. The other person could take the opportunity to attack me.”
Linley understood this.
If he went all out, he might be able to kill one, but…
If he did so, the end result would instantly become disastrous.
“The most important thing right now is time. The later that Ojwin discovers the existence of the pocket dimension, the better. I hope Lord Beirut will make it in time. For now, what I need to do is delay as much as I can.” Linley immediately raised his speed to the utmost.
Delay!
Linley, who relied upon the Profound Truths of Velocity to become a Deity, was far superior to the other two in terms of speed.
Linley was like the formless wind, constantly changing locations, dodging past the attacks of those two Deities time and time again. Those two black-robed men were both growing a bit impatient. They were skilled in attacking, but in terms of speed, they were far inferior to Linley.
“He’s rather fast.” Ojwin said with a calm laugh.
Linley instantly felt the restrictive power of the space around him grow in strength. Ojwin was clearly using his full-power Godrealm to bind Linley. Although Linley was skilled in speed, right now…he was restricted by the Godrealm. All he could do was rely on his own Godrealm, but even so, his speed was a hint lower than those two black-robed men.
“Haha, I want to see how you can keep dodging!!!” The sound rang out in Linley’s mind. It came from one of those two black-robed men. Just then, they had naturally been enraged by Linley taking advantage of his greater speed. Right now, Linley was being restricted by the Godrealm, but they were not.
Their speed was now faster than Linley’s.
Two blurs pincer-attacked Linley.
“Lord Beirut, why haven’t you arrived yet!!!” Linley’s heart was filled with grief and fury, but then Linley noticed something which astonished him.
The heavily wounded divine body of Desri was rapidly healing, but the power of that silver-robed man with the long blade was far superior to his, able to take even Desri’s spiritual attack head on. In terms of speed, he was actually slightly superior to Desri.
“Aaah!”
A miserable scream. Desri had just been hit by three successive blades.
The first blade chop had split Desri in half. The second blade, Desri had managed to take without dying. But this third blade…
“Clang!” That cold, dark long blade chopped directly through Desri’s brain, smashing against Desri’s divine spark, which was flickering with white light. The power of that long blade landing against the divine spark was so great that the divine spark shuddered…and Desri’s soul was shattered.
His soul was shattered, his spirit dispersed!
“Dead!”
Both Linley and Olivier felt a surge of grief in their hearts.
Although Desri’s original body was still within the pocket dimension, the death of his divine clone meant…that Desri would never again be able to train in the Elemental Laws of Light. At the same time, Desri’s five thousand years of hard work had just been destroyed.
If he wanted to become a Deity on his own again, he would have to begin training in a different Elemental Law.
“Will this scene be my end as well?” Linley felt grief in his heart. Desri’s miserable scream continued to reverberate in his ears.
“Aaaaaaaargh!”
From Linley’s lips exploded forth an uncompromising, fierce, enraged howl. The devilish Bloodviolet filled the world with a humming sword song, and within Linley’s eyes, a hint of wildness appeared. At this moment, he didn’t care about anything else. Even if he was to die, he would kill one or two of them as well.
The Hymn of the Wind was unleashed!
“DIE!!!” Olivier also emitted a similar howl from the depths of his heart.
In that moment, both Linley and Olivier had gone mad.
………………..
In the same moment, within the pocket dimension.
There were many people present, including the five Barker brothers and their family, Delia, Wharton, Hillman, and dozens of others. Linley’s original body and Desri’s original body were present as well.
The face of Desri original body turned utterly pale, and his eyes became filled with utter sorrow.
“Haha…” Desri let out a low laugh.
Five thousand years of painstaking training. But in this instant, it was now guaranteed that he would never again be able to become a Deity through the Elemental Laws of Light.
“Everyone, quickly.” The sky-blue robed Linley shouted towards everyone. “Quick, everyone, split up. Everyone go flee in a different direction. That Ojwin can’t be using his divine sense to pay attention to the underground at every single instant.” Linley was out of choices.
Beirut hadn’t arrived.
Linley couldn’t place all of his hopes on Beirut’s shoulders.
“Desri, as long as your original body remains, at least you’ll be able to train in other Elemental Laws. Quick, let’s go.” Linley charged to the doorway of the pocket dimension and used his divine power to block the attacking energy flows at the dimensional gateway.
The dozens of people who had squeezed into the pocket dimension all felt nervous.
“Linley.” Delia said hurriedly.
“Leave, quickly. Don’t hesitate.” Linley directly grabbed Gates’ son, pulling him out of the pocket dimension. Everyone, knowing how grave the situation had become, quickly fled from the pocket dimension, and then began to tunnel through the ground in every which way.
………………..
Bloodviolet shuddered, emitting that humming sword sound, as gentle and soft as a flute’s song. The flute song, under Linley’s control, directly emanated towards the two black-robed men, as well as that golden-haired youth who was battling Olivier.
Both the golden haired youth and the two black-robed men, in this moment, felt as though the entire world had gone silent, aside from that soft, gentle flute song. It was so pleasing to the ear.
“Clang!”
