"SHIT!" Nn cursed to himself as he witnessed the third obelisk starting to light up.


    Quickly, it began oozing with clouds that moved up the sky, covering the entire room.


    Sparks of lightning brimmed through the area as darkness consumed the world.


    CRAAACCKKKLLEE


    A powerful sound of crackling lightning rang out beside Nn''s head.


    He turned to his left, spotting a pir of whitish light soaring towards him.


    Instantly, Nn flung his chained dagger to the side, digging its end into the wall, and he yanked on it with all his strength.


    Instantly, his body jerked towards the wall, narrowly avoiding the lightning that mmed into the spot where he had just been.


    However, Nn wasn''t unscathed; remnants of the lightning still mmed into him, enough to paralyze his muscles.


    Unable to stop himself, he mmed his face into the wall, skidding painfully against it.


    Sessfully, though, Nn saw he had escaped the binding of gravity.


    He instantly withdrew his chains before facing away from where he had stood.


    BOOOOOM


    At the ce where Nn was, a pir of me crashed down once more, narrowly dodged by Nn.


    In the new spot Nn stepped, the gravity instantly reduced on him, making his feet float in the air as all feeling of weight disappeared from his body.


    BAAAAAM


    "Arg!" A groan of pain escaped his lips as he felt a powerful bolt of lightning m into his head.


    Blood oozed from his nose, and he roughly smashed into the ground, bouncing off it a few times beforeing to a stop.


    Instantly, Nn''s head rose up, finding himself below a ming portal.


    Quickly, he scrambled away from it as another pir of me smashed down roughly into the ground.


    Once more, a deep pir of lightning crashed forward, and Nn dodged his head to the side.


    A loud crackling of lightning tore past his face, leaving a scared mark in its wake.


    "ARRGGH" a groan escaped Nn''s lips as he quickly got back on the move, running around the area.


    mes crashed, lightning chased, and gravity asionally shifted, making him as heavy as a mountain or as light as a feather.


    The constant changes greatly disoriented his bnce, causing him to get caught by the two remaining destructive obelisks'' attacks.


    Less than ten minutes had passed, but dark smoke was already rising from Nn''s body.


    His hair stood on end from being struck repeatedly by lightning.


    asionally, he dodged a ming pir by the skin of his teeth.


    Sweat poured down his face due to the intense temperature and the heat of the battle.


    It was the first time in Nn''s life that he had been faced with a battle where his opponent had no arms or legs, yet it was giving him the fight of his life.


    He had tried countless times to get past the ming obelisk to approach the shadow obelisk, but he had always failed at thest second.


    To top it off, the fourth obelisk had yet to attack. The one that controlled time!


    "I can''t keep running around. I need to find a way out..." Nn muttered to himself.


    His dagger was in his hand, but his opponent wasn''t approaching him.


    It was essentially useless, save for covering up some attacks for himself.


    It was obviously a physical battle, yet his strength wasn''t helping him at all.


    But still, after spending close to half an hour running around, Nn was able to decipher some pretty suspicious things and understand a little about how each obelisk worked.


    The first thing Nn noticed was that every obelisk pulsed with a brilliant light before unleashing their attacks at him.


    This pulse of light came from none other than the sphere embedded into their center.


    In an instant, Nn could guess how the obelisks worked!


    A fundamental rule of everything in the Celestial Realm was that it always had a source.


    The Celestial Heirs'' source of power was their divine essence.


    The Titans drew their power from their titan essence.


    The nightmare creatures derived their strength from their Terror Flux.


    Exhaust a Celestial Heir''s divine essence, and no matter how powerful they were, they would copse to the ground, unable to pose a threat.


    The same could be said for anything else.


    Right now, Nn had deduced that the same principle applied to the obelisks.


    The only reason they could unleash such devastating attacks was because of their source of power: the spheres pulsing with energy within them.


    If he ripped out those cores, they would lose their source of energy.


    Once their energy source was gone, they would be nothing more than stone pirs, unable to do any harm to him.


    But even after half an hour, Nn had not been able to get close to a single obelisk, so he couldn''t just waltz forward and take the cores away with his dagger.


    That led him to the second thing he had noticed about the obelisks.


    The first one was the me obelisk.


    It slowed down Nn at the moments he least expected it.


    The truth was that Nn found the me obelisk to be no real threat.


    The only way it could attack him was through the ming portals floating above him.


    As long as Nn didn''t stay under the portal, the me obelisk wouldn''t be able to do anything to him.


    The second obelisk, the storm obelisk, was easier to deal with.


    While the storm cast a deep darkness in the room, Nn could borrow the light from the ming runes in the air to see his way through.


    The problematic part was its lightning that chased him, but Nn had been able to sense that he could dodged the lightning, due to its loud sound that it makes as it closed in on him.


    Yet even though that was the truth, right now, he had been hit by more than 30


    bolts of lightning.


    The problem was the third obelisk—the gravity obelisk!


    It was the one Nn hated the most and the real reason he was being beaten so pathetically!
