Another Escape?
With his hands, Theos gave an order… Self-destroy the Underworld.
“We’ll see if they are so eager to capture me,” he said, his cold eyes staring into the cracks and crevices that were slowly opening.
However, the cracks suddenly closed, leaving no trace of the light from the surface.
The cube of the Underworld gradually became narrower and smaller; each time Theos squeezed his hand tighter and
tighter, the cube reacted with a violent shake and visibly shrank.
Shrinking until it left only a few feet free to travel.
Deciding that enough was enough, Theos’ hand loosened, opening his palm fully.
The Underworld cube reacted again, this time with even more violence. A jolt that felt more like a 9.5 magnitude earthquake.
*Boom*
The Mana particles scattered everywhere, resulting in an explosion which caused Theos to fly away.
Logically, Theos could fly off anywhere, it depends on luck whether or not he could escape from the current desperate situation.
But, the explosion itself is something he can control, isn’t it? Why not control the explosion in a way that he can propel himself downwards?
That’s what Theos did… Before the
Underworld explosion, he controlled the explosion so that it could propel him downwards, to plummet towards the ground, away from the Godria Tree.
And that’s how it worked.
“See you later,” Theos said with a smile.
The holy dragons surrounding the cube could not have predicted the explosion. Their expressions of shock and surprise said it all.
They only asked to recover upon hearing Theos’ words. “Quick, chase him down,” a large number of Dragons shouted in unison.
“Wait, dead comrade is also falling,” said
one of the dragons, drawing the attention.
of the other Dragons.
Turning to where the dragon was looking,
they found one of their comrades, the Sacred Dragon, plummeting, but in the opposite direction of Theos.
Believing their comrade’s life to be more
important, the vast majority of dragons
went to rescue the Sacred Dragon’s body. Meanwhile, a small number of dragons went to Theos.
But Theos was not going to make it so easy for them.
He had almost no Mana left, but still, he gathered enough to create multiple beams of negative energy that went toward the dragons at a high speed.
The dragons dodged some of them, but a portion of those beams were able to hit
them.
However, no dragon suffered the side effects of the negative energy dragons, or
so Theos believed at first.
The dragons that received more than two
negative lightning bolts began to doubt and overthink their actions, even memories of the past that they would like not to
remember.
‘Does the effect accumulate, the more rays
hit the enemy, the more effective the side effect will be?’ wondered Theos as he saw what was happening in front of his eyes.
But that didn’t make Theos’ negative rays stop, instead, they became more intense
and greater in quantity.
“Ahhhh.”
“What is this?”
The dragons roared in confusion and anger, not knowing what was going on with their now uncontrolled and restless minds.
But Theos did not waste the opportunity. Unfortunately, the Mana, along with the wounds on his body did not reveal to show
his great potential.
However, he deactivated his Vampire Form. Now, outside the Underworld, the sun’s rays illuminated his skin. Even without the sun’s rays hitting him, just by
smelling a breeze in the daytime, his power instantly drops.
Deactivating his vampire form, Theos felt
the strength return to his body with more
vigor, a sensation that only lasted a few seconds as he realized it was just the adrenaline of the moment. “Don’t let him get away!” one of the
dragons roared, flapping its wings to stop Theos.
But now, at least 50% of his power had
been regained. How could he not be able to
run away? Quickly Theos launched thousands and thousands of Negative
Beams.
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*
The negative rays fell one by one into the dragons’ bodies. The great quantity and the new power of the attacks made it almost impossible for them to dodge them. But Theos didn’t see this fact; he couldn’t
waste time, so he accumulated a large amount of negative mana to create wings and propel himself violently towards the ground. *Swosh
Theos’ speed reached was so great that it
cut the wind itself. Until, finally, he was close to the ground.
Being at least 50 meters from the ground,
Theos decided to disappear the wings made of Mana, with the negative Mana from there, he brought it to the front to create a barrier.
*Boom!*
As if it were a meteorite itself, Theos hit the ground at a high speed, creating a large crater that extended for several meters
around.
His body was protected by the negative energy barrier, even so, the wounds opened up more, becoming more serious
than they already were. All this is a consequence of the impact.
However, Theos could not rest for a
second.
Rising slowly, but determinedly, Theos
looked up at the Tree of Godria. ‘Should I go to protect Luna? Or should I stay to protect myself now that I’m being chased by an army of dragons?’ he thought. According to logic, he had gotten all he
could. Time to rely on his clever girlfriend’s skills so her could get what she wanted, the
potion.
Theos’ eyes, weary and exhausted, threatened to close at any moment, but he
became extremely resilient and stubborn, refusing to rest now.
‘I’m not out of danger by a long shot,’
thought Theos, sensing that the danger hadn’t stopped.
*roar*
And as if to confirm his suspicions, the
dragons in the distance roared violently.
Theos could only shake his head and continue running away, heading somewhere else, away from the Godria…
There was also the possibility of searching for the Death Fragment that was lost by the explosion.
But before leaving, Theos looked up, he
couldn’t see the top of the giant tree, but he still muttered. “I hope they’re all right…”
