Chapter 207 Sealing Technique
Zick's expression turned weirder as he tried to dispel the remnant of Reikel's attack. It didn't waver at all, his higher form of energy could not affect it, instead, it was strengthening it.
In a closer view, the red energy spewing out of Zick's detached body was different from before. A strange golden hue could be seen around it. Reikel seemed to have grasped his weakness, using a persistent attack like this.
With no further ado, Zick activated his soul ability again. But the black miasma could only contend with red-gold energy, eventually, the red energy would be destroyed.
'But, Will he give me enough time for that?' Even Before Zick who just had half of his body left in the air lookup, a hand held his forehead firmly. A feeling of being pushed down took over him, the world blurred around him instantly.
BAM!
Zick was plunged into the ground by Reikel, causing a huge crater to form. At once, dozens of crimson chains portrayed from the air, they curled around Zick, holding him in place.
Another kick was delivered to his chest, sending Zick flying into the distance. The pain even caused his head to turn blank for a moment.
In that kick just now, Zick's whole chest was blown away along with the heart. It would take a while to regenerate such a part.
And most of the energy that Zick stored using the soul ability was depleted.
The feeling of death was sticking closely to Zick.
Blood flowed from Zick's wound profusely, and the mud below him was dyed red in an instant. His internal parts like his intestine and half-destroyed lungs were visible through the wounds.
Reikel appeared before Zick again, who could not move anymore. Zick was suffering from the backlash of using his soul ability.
Reforming his body with so much power put a lot of toll on it. Normally, it would not have been a problem with his regenerative powers, but with the energy ravaging his body, it led to him becoming immobile.
Reikel dug his leg into Zick's head, pushing his face into the ground.
"Knocking you out seems to be impossible, so I can only destroy your whole head to get a similar result huh?" Reikel put more force into his legs.
CRACK~
Just as the cracking sound of the skull rang out, the gruntling sound of a machine rang out.
Multiple blue spears moved toward Reikal at once. He did not even bother turning towards them, he had already sensed the fortress moving closer a while ago.
A red barrier formed around him, rendering the attack launched by the rail gun useless.
"Are these pests your last resort? What a waste of time." Reikel did not bat an eye saying this.
Zick slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with exhaustion.
Breathing in deeply, Zick screamed: "Do it!"
At that instant, the space around Zick and Reikel shook. At once, the whole place froze, and both of them could not move.
The sealing art at that instant was activated.
In truth, the sealing technique created by the giant hero focused on space particles. Therefore, it excelled in sealing people within a space tunnel or any other thing pertaining to space elements in it.
This technique was just perfect for the biological golem, as their element was space.
However, normal space arts could never seal the demon lord, Reikel. Hence, something special was needed.
In the end, With Yuriel and the other biological golems' hard work, a device was created. By sacrificing a biological golem, a binding technique would be created. It could not seal Reikel for long, but it was more than enough.
That was also the reason Zick did not absorb unit three.
At last, Zick resolutely ordered Yuriel to not care about himself too. Originally, he was thinking of pinning down Reikel, but he turned out just too strong.
Reikel punched and kicked Zick like he was a punching bag, sending him flying here and there.
Thus, Zick was sealed off in this strange space too. But he had already thought of such an outcome, hence a way for him to get out of there was already ready.
As for the people who had the divinity of the God extracted from them, they all fell into an unconscious state.
Zick and Reikel looked at themselves, but for unknown reasons, Zick felt something was out of place.
"....I wish you hadn't used this move, sigh...." A complex expression of relief, disappointment, and grief passed by Reikel's face.
"What....?" A bad feeling rose within Zick.
Reikel knew about this ability? But still did not try to do anything against it?
If that were to be the case...Speculation formed on Zick's head, which made his spine quiver.
"It can't be...." Zick glared at Reikel who just looked at him blankly now.
"You are right."
The ground began shaking as Reikel finished speaking. It was worst than an earthquake, it felt like the whole world was going to fall apart.
With a loud bang, a red portal exited from the ground's surface. The whole demon continent began quivering intensely as its presence wafted in its surrounding.
The portal through which the giant race was supposed to come out. This had been a headache to every citizen 30,000 years ago, it had thrown many into the pit of despair.
Until Fuiren sealed it and vanished mysteriously.
Chains still hung around the portal, tightly sealing it. But there were some visible cracks on the chains here and there.
The moment this red portal appeared, a suction was created around it. What it was sucking in wasn't the mana or the ground.
The divinity that used to create the seal around Zick and Reikel sucked into the gate.
Zick felt himself regenerating again, but there was no sign of joy on his face. He appeared pale, and his visage was darkened from solemnity.
The chain around the red portal gave out an ear-rendering sound at once, cracks began to spread on it rapidly.
'To think I was the one who was schemed against in the end. I never thought that the portal could be moved, that was a mistake on my part. And neither did I think he would break the seal this very instant using me.' Now that Zick thought of it, everything appeared to already be planned out.
If Zick had not contacted Reikel, he might have just done it himself in the future.
Reikel looked at the portal silently: "All that I was lacking was strong Divinity, and now with that provided. The giant race would be allowed to enter this world."
Hearing this, Zick closed his eyes: 'I guess it's time to escape. Instead of staying here and risking it, I can only take the other best risk.'
....
Within a dream, Arianell looked at the majestic white dragon before her.
It was her mother. Arianell had already met her while she was still within the eggshell.
"Do you want to really protect that blasphemous thing?" Arianell's mother, the dragon lord asked.
She was clearly mentioning about Zick, he appeared nothing more than a disgusting being who ate dragons as his breakfast and lunch, in her eyes.
"Just what is with your obsession with him? Didn't you feel it? He would not hesitate to abandon you if there were any danger to his life!" The dragon lord was out of words right now, Arianell wanted to protect Zick, even while knowing about his mindset.
Zick's mindset was very simple — Never let any worldly desire get in the way of his path. If anything got in his way, it would either be discarded or destroyed.
Arianell knew of it from the very beginning, it was through the connection she had with Zick. Though Zick could not sense her emotions and fraction of her thoughts, she could do it.
Arianell opened her mouth: "He would abandon me, but I sensed a feeling of love in his heart...."
Zick never detested or hated Arianell even once and neither was he dissatisfied with her behavior by much. He even treated her as a daughter sometime, it was because he wanted to relieve a little of excessive emotions, but it was still genuine feelings.
And lastly, it was thanks to Arianell knowing Zick better, she always tried not to bother Zick unnecessarily. Leaving aside in the beginning, how her emotions affected the mana — destroying the surrounding.
"My daughter, I said that you could choose to do what your heart says. And I will not go against my words, I am just a remnant soul, use me as you want." The dragon lord could only heave a sigh and let Arianell do what she wanted to do.
After all, Dragonlord could sense it, no matter how she tried, Arianell would never change her mind.
Arianell on the other hand smiled at her mother, breaking her stoic look. The reason she was obsessed with Zick was not known even to her. It was like that from the moment she set her eyes on him.
Arianell moved out of the dream world.
Zick got up with all his limbs and the injury healed by then.
There were around 16 chains around the portal, and seven of them were already destroyed.
"Hmm?" Both Zick and Reikel felt the space fluctuate around the area.
