71 Ch 71: Space-attributed Energy
Pain!
It was excruciating!
"Urghhh!"
Emrys groaned in pain and twitched on the ground. The taste of blood was still on his tongue but he seemed to be unable to taste it or even feel for the time being. All he had in mind was harrowing pain that was breaking his body.
The beast''s crazy attack was truly powerful. If he was directly attacked, if not dead, the injuries on his body would have been grave. He might have to lie down on the ground for several days continuously, either bing the food of other beasts or dying of hunger.
While Emrys was twitching in pain, the beast was in no good condition either. It did not continue attacking Emrys, instead, it was trying to suppress the agony it was going through. The cut part of his mouth was simply too big to ignore. Piercing pain made it impossible for the beast to continue attacking Emrys. Instead, its target was now ground and nearby petrified trees. It was stomping the ground, roaring crazily, colliding its head against trees and shattering them into pieces.
Just like that, five minutes went by.
Emrys was able to suppress the pain by now and slowly stood up.
Grabbing the de, he was ready to finish the beast with onest attack.
However, how to do that?
His strength was not enough to directly damage the beast while its scales were still intact. His soul force had been almostpletely depleted, so he couldn''t draw on even a part of the de''s inherent strength as he had previously.
So, what could he do to kill the beast with one single attack?
The answer was simple. All he has to do is manipte the space-attributed energy, form a de, and then use that de to attack.
As long as he could manipte the space-attributed energy, he could execute the second origin skill of his Soul Mark, the Spatial de.
However, the question mark here was that he could not manipte the spatial-attributed energy at all. His current strength did not allow him to achieve this feat.
Thinking hard for a while, Emrys had an idea. He decided to give it a try.
Closing his eyes, he first circted the Sacred Soul Purification Technique, stirring the remaining traces of Soul Force left within his Soul River. Then he guided the Soul Force tomunicate with his Soul Mark, the Walker of the Blue Sky.
"Lend me your help, I truly need it at this moment!"
Emrys muttered while feeling the Soul Mark. He did not know whether he would be able tomunicate with his Soul Mark or not, but giving it a try wouldn''t harm him.
As a brilliant student, he knew that the strongest Soul Masters in the Great me Kingdom, Purple Crystal Soul Masters, couldmunicate with their Soul Marks and unleash terrifying attacks easily.
If they could do that, why can''t he?
Just because he is weak doesn''t mean he cannot seed. There are always exceptions. Emrys believed he might be able to be that exception if he tried tomunicate with his Soul Mark with pure heart.
Time passed second by second, but he still did not feel anything. He could sense his Soul Mark but failed tomunicate with it. It was as if the Soul Mark was not ready to listen to him for some reason, as if something was preventing his voice from reaching it.
Half an hour went by, and his attempts still did not work, annoying him greatly. However, he continued to try tomunicate, staying true to his heart. Unfortunately, luck was not on his side. The scaled beast had calmed down by now and was able to suppress the agonizing pain. It stopped wasting its strength on the ground and trees and instead turned to Emrys, roaring at him.
"Roar!"
The powerful roar attracted Emrys''s attention, forcing him to open his eyes. He looked at the beast whose eyes were glowing red. It was gathering strength to attack him. Emrys saw madness in its eyes. Moreover, he seems to understand the beast''s intention as well.
Just like him, this scaled beast also wanted to finish him with one final strike.
Emrys closed his eyes in a hurry again. He knew he only had one chance. If he failed, he might die here.
Emrys tried his best tomunicate with his Soul Mark once again, however, he was still unable to do it. "Damn it, listen to me. Lend me your strength!"
In the end, Emrys shouted loudly in frustration. The turmoil in his heart seemed to stir something within his body.
Deep within his consciousness, a miniature blue orb was floating. This blue orb was not like a Blue Soul Orb, it waspletely different. It had veryplicated but intricate patterns on its surface. Every pattern seems to house a kind of unknown strength.
If one could look closely, one would see an entirely different world within this blue orb. And the Ruler of this world was a giant blue bird.
This bird seemed to hear Emrys''s voice and its closed eyes snapped open.
Screach~
Suddenly, a loud screech erupted within Emrys''s mind. Emrys immediately felt a surge of spatial-attributed energy flowing at him from every direction. This energy was attracted here by a singlemand from the bird.
As this energy rushed within his body, Emrys''s body screamed in protest. He felt like his muscles burning from exertion, but he refused to relent. He knew this was happening not only because of his heavily wounded body but also because his body was not yet ready to let the space-attributed energy inside. His body was not yet adapted to this energy. He felt like his body was being ripped apart.
"Ugh!"
Emrys gritted his teeth and held on. He knew that stopping now would mean certain death. His mind was a storm of focus and fury. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He raised the de. This de was not the Spatial de. Since he could not manipte the Spatial Energy, he could not form a Spatial de. Although he could not manipte the spatial energy, the Void Phoenix could.
His mind was connected to his Soul Mark. The Blue Bird, Void Phoenix, could clearly feel his intentions.
Although obstructed several times, causing Emrys to whimper in pain, the Space-attributed Energy still flowed within his body ceaselessly. It was controlled by the Void Phoenix and slowly made its way towards the de in Emrys''s hand.
The de lights up. It shone brightly with silver light.
