The Story Never Ends

Chapter 113 - Thunder Domain

"Indeed, as I thought, these people still don't know what's going on." Davion was keenly observing them even after they left the hall. 

"This is all due to the devilish energy. From the moment I found a soul coming out from the subordinate of the Pope, I had this guess that they might all be connected to some devil. Now I am a hundred percent sure." Davion looked solemn as this incident reminded him of Conard.

"Doesn't this mean that there is a high probability of someone coming out from the body of the Pope just like the Sect Master of the Blood and Saber Sect?" While he was thinking he heard the Pope calling them out.

Thus, they all gathered ahead of him.

"Even though there were some issues today, we managed to complete the task. You all did well today." The Pope complimented them. 

"We are grateful to serve you." Everyone bowed together and the same goes for Davion.

The Pope nodded and coldly said, "Bring that person back to my chamber now. I've some things that I need to know as he nearly got us caught."

"We understand."

The Pope didn't say much and turned around. He then went to the middle of the platform and said in a devil language, "Open"

The platform started shaking and an underground passage was revealed there. He entered inside it and after a few seconds, did it close and returned to normal.

Seeing the Pope leaving, the subordinates gossiped.

"It seems like he is not in a good mood."

"Yeah, let's bring the person back to his chamber. We can't let him wait."

"Who knows he might release his anger on us?"

So, they immediately went to the circular room behind the platform. However, they didn't see that person over there.

"Rhett, where is he?"

They looked in the direction of Davion and asked. Yet, they saw him taking out an eye-catching halberd instead of answering them.

"Eh! what are you doing?" They didn't understand what he was trying to do.

"Hehe," Davion smiled and pulled back his cloak.

"You.." They became speechless when they saw his face.

"Where is Rhett?" One of them asked.

"What do you think?" Davion mocked him and instantly appeared ahead of him. Then he channeled his spiritual energy into his halberd and hacked horizontally straight towards his head. 

This happened so fast that nobody was able to react. Thus, they could only watch the halberd beheading their companion.

"BAM"

The head dropped to the ground and blood spilled everywhere. Not only that, like previously a soul came out of his body.

This time Davion didn't chase it but rather pointed his index finger towards it. A bolt of lightning came out of it and destroyed the soul in a split second.

"Sheesh.."

They sucked in a cold breath as they couldn't believe that this person was strong enough to kill them in a jiffy. Even the soul was not left.

"What do you want?" One of them asked while he signaled something to his companions with his fingers.

With his sharp senses, Davion obviously caught this but he didn't do anything. He wanted to see what they would do.

So, he acted as if he hadn't noticed it and asked, "What does the Pope do with the missing children?"

They became serious when they heard this. Thus, they took out their weapons and got into a fighting posture.

"It looks like you guys don't want to tell me." Davion had expected this response from them.

"Now." The one who had signaled earlier yelled.

The moment he said this, one of them ran towards the door while the others rushed towards him at the same time.

"Oh! Trying to buy some time? However, this is a child's trick infront of me." Davion threw his halberd towards the door.

"Dodge" They cried out.

The person sidestepped to the right when he heard this and finally turned back. Seeing that the halberd was about to miss him, he sighed in relief. But the next thing made his eyes wide open. He saw that the halberd suddenly turned to the right and came for his chest.

"No.." His body got pierced by the halberd and got pinned on the wall. Thus, in a few seconds, he lost his breath and died. Next, the soul came out of his body and Davion destroyed it like previously. 

"Humph, I thought that you guys had some tricks in your sleeves. But who could have thought that it was just an old trick?" Davion mocked them and opened his right hand. The halberd flew and returned back to him.

They panicked when they saw this as another one of their companions had fallen. It was already the third one including Rhett. Now only five of them were left.

"It seems like we can only fight and hope for a miracle." This was the only thought in their minds. So, they surrounded Davion from all sides and attacked him with all their strengths.

"Hehe, come. I wanted to try out my new move," Davion laughed.

"Thunder Domain"

Streaks of lightning came out of his body which immediately covered the whole room. 

"Boom…Boom…Boom"

"What is this?" They had never seen a spell like this. Every time they touched it a small explosion would take place and they would get hurt. As a result, bruises were already seen on their body. They couldn't even dodge it as it was everywhere.

Although they were using their Qi to protect themselves, getting frequently struck in the same place would still injure them. Not only that, they had to waste a large amount of their Qi to protect themselves.

As the thunder energy is far more destructive than the dark energy, one had to use more of their Qi to protect themselves. Even though this sounded much more powerful, the Dark Domain still excels the Thunder Domain in other aspects. Such as the dark energy would even take away the opponent's field of vision while corroding their vitality and injuring them from within. Thus, both the Domains had their own advantages and disadvantages.

Seeing that they were not injured seriously, Davion thought, "It appears like I have to use more of my thunder energy. Let's see what happens when I use half of my energy."

Suddenly, they found that the intensity of lightning was increasing. The streaks of lightning started becoming bigger and bigger and everything inside the room started to explode. All the paintings, sculptures, and chests turned to dust. Even the walls of the room started to fall.

This was not the end, as they were also finding it difficult to protect themselves. Some parts of their body had already become numb.

"No, we can't move. We will all die here."

"We have to do something."

"But what should be done? He's too strong." They couldn't think of any reasons that could help them escape from this predicament.

"Humph, it seems like you guys can still talk." Davion controlled the radius of the Domain and concentrated it around them.

"Ahhh..."

***

A few minutes later, the circular room had already been destroyed. The platform and the hall outside could be clearly seen. Davion was standing in the ruins of the room and was full of smiles, "This move is really terrifying. I managed to kill them all by just using the Domain. Although it consumes a lot of my spiritual energy, this move can be used to kill many enemies in a short period of time."

He then went to the middle of the platform where the hidden passage was and said in the devil language like the Pope, "Open"

Like earlier, the underground passage was revealed but he didn't enter it.

"I only have half of my spiritual energy remaining. So, let's wait here for a few minutes and recover. Who knows what I will meet inside? I can't be reckless." He thought and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Although he didn't want to waste his spiritual energy, he was very eager to try this move and see how strong it was. And the result satisfied him very much as he could even kill a large number of cultivators in the middle stage of Golden Core State easily.

Fifteen minutes later, Davion stood up and muttered, "My golden finger is really amazing. The higher I level up, the faster my spiritual energy recovers."

"It's time." Then he took a deep breath and entered inside.

*** 

In one of the chambers, deep underground,

"Damn, why aren't they here yet?" the Pope was furious as he had been waiting for his subordinates to bring back that person. However, it has been some time and they are still not here.

"Did something happen?" 

"But this should not be the case as I didn't sense anyone that might cause troubles above. Although there was one person, there was nothing to worry about because he had no cultivation base. Even if they fall into trouble, with their cultivation bases they should be ok." He thought.

He waited for a few minutes and still didn't see anyone coming. So, he pondered, "Do I go and check what they are up to?" 

However, he suddenly felt some pain in his chest.

"Eh! it seems like the Lord is summoning me."
