Chapter 771 Abducted
Chapter 771 Abducted
A wisp of energy travelled through an extremely long distance, flashing back in an instant.
The seven Demi Gods who were ready to leave, all waited for their temporary leader to return.
They were floating in space with nothing but darkness around them and the distant blinking stars.
"Haa I hope he doesn't kill that Vritra guy, the trip would be cancelled and I wouldn't be able to spend more time with my dear Drino." Mole, the tree-like Demi God spoke.
"He was quite angry when he left, it wouldn't be shocking if he really killed that kid." Another Demi God with a shark-like head spoke, his teeth glowed like metals.
"Drino should be back at any moment now, let's hear how badly he hurt the-" just as another Demi God was speaking, they all sensed spatial fluctuation.
He is here!
And just as they expected, Demi God Drino appeared before them, but just not in the state they expected.
They all thought he would be very happy and laughing loudly, boasting how he beat up that kid.
But what came back was a broken mess, the skin was torn, bones broken, no blood in the body... it was a complete mess.
"Uh Is this Drino?" Mole worriedly asked as one of his branches scooped up the broken body, cradling it in his arms.
"I- It is indeed him, those clothes are the same at least. But what happened, wasn't he just going to crush a level 1 ant?" a Demi God with a rat-like face asked, fear clearly visible on his face.
The rat Demi God unconsciously released a feeling of dread into the air, making even the others shudder.
Mole and Sharky glared at him, making the Rat calm down.
"Let me tend to you." Mole tore a leaf from its branch releasing a strange moan as he did so, with a face that seemed flushed, he crushed the leaf that was full of vitality.
Then it was stuffed into the mouth of Drino who was barely conscious and couldn't speak.
Hooooo
As soon as the healing energy spread, Drino inhaled deeply, his body began to swell back, blood flowing through his veins.
They were in space but the Demi Gods had protective barriers around them.
They can move around even without it but it would be comfortable in the long run, not to mention Mole was releasing constant oxygen.
Though none of the Demi Gods wanted to inhale this special oxygen, though Drino had no choice.
"Hoo Hoo Ahhhh Where am I?!!" Drino flailed his arms around, appearing very frightened.
He could still see the image of that demon, when did he grow into something so terrifying?
"Hush It is me, your Mole, calm down. I am here with you, do you want me to heal you properly? Just say the word, I am good at very deep healing~" Mole muttered hugging Drino's rapidly healing body.
The other Demi Gods looked at this scene strangely, they respected Mole's strength but he was too strange.
It was just too disgusting.
Drino soon regained his senses, and was again shocked to find himself entangled in Mole's arms.
He pushed hard, Mole didn't resist and just let go, he wouldn't want to harm his favourite Drino, right?
Drino who still felt very weak fell limply, gasping for breath.
"What happened? Did someone intercept your teleportation just now?" a Demi God with a head that was made of bugs crawling questioned.
"I..." Drino got up as his body healed to some extent, then he hurriedly looked around.
Vritra possessed spatial powers too, he needed to make sure that guy had not teleported along.
Only after making sure did Drino finally heave a sigh of relief, then he looked at the seven curious Demi Gods.
'Should I tell them truthfully? But what if they refuse to go there with me afterwards? Sigh I shouldn't have used this teleportation...' Drino still felt chills thinking of Vritra's strength.
That guy had broken him with just one punch, a single punch, what sort of monster was he even?
"Uh So I... met..." Drino was still unsure.
Vritra couldn't come along with him for obvious reasons, but he sent a gift along with the broken Drino.
And right at this moment, just as the eight were distracted, Drino's shadow trembled.
Mole was the first to notice this change but it was too late.
Suddenly an imposing and dreadful Dark Knight rose from the shadow, endless darkness steaming out of its body.
It held a long sword, nearly the same height as itself, its armor appearing as if nothing existed in that part of space.
At first, the Dark Knight observed the eight and listened for any useful information, he would have stayed hidden for a little longer.
But it sensed that its location had been found out by someone, even Knight couldn't find who it was.
So, he instantly gave up on that and decided to attack. If it could at least bring one of the Demi Gods down with it, that would be worth it.
And which Demi God would be better than Drino who was already injured and the head of this team?
Dark Knight was not like Vritra, who was already at the peak of level three Demi God.
As a Titan, maybe only Mole would prove a little difficult to fight, but he could have defeated the other Demi Gods.
Though if he can utilize his Titan's abilities then even Mole would be nothing.
One of those skills was Titan Fall, which was extremely terrifying.
Dark Knight only possessed strength similar to Drino's old body, it cannot fight them all.
While they were all shocked, the heavy sword of the Dark Knight swung menacingly, aiming straight for Drino's head.
Killing a Demi God is not easy but not impossible either.
Dark Knight had already fulfilled its mission, anything it does now would just be a plus.
Drino was still too weak, he tried to dodge, but his weak body just stumbled and fell.
BOOM
In mid air, the direction of the sword changed and it crashed down, though the angle was a bit off.
The dark sword struck the lower neck of Drino, plunging deeper as newly formed blood spluttered and flesh was torn.
Bones which were just repairing were broken again, as the swing cut deeper and deeper.
By this time, the other Demi Gods, especially Mole had reacted, they launched attacks towards the Knight.
And Knight being fully aware, knew it would be impossible to defend against them.
Just as the sword had reached the mid part of Drino's chest, Knight lowered his body as all the energy in its body began to boil.
SELF DESTRUCTION!
The others understood what this strange creature wanted to do, and all their attacks turned meaningless.
What's the point of attacking him when his body was already going to destruct.
Even Mole frowned, the leaves on his body grew rapidly, he wanted to protect Drino who couldn't do much.
But Mole was too late.
Dark Knight's body continued to swell, the explosion might really obliterate Drino completely.
"I- Save me, H- HELPPPPPPPP" unable to hold on any longer, Drino finally let out a loud scream, his voice so frightened.
He really didn't want to die, that treacherous Vritra was so evil, even when he was running away he didn't give Drino a way out.
That evil human, but Drino could clearly sense death a second time and he was very unwilling to die just like that.
BOOOOOOO-
Just as Knight's body exploded, time seemed to pause, or rather the explosion was paused.
The Demi Gods were all shocked, they looked around in confusion, wondering who had done this.
Knight's exploding body had paused right there and then and no matter how much it struggled, Knight couldn't get free.
"What a pity, I was hoping you would charge after Drino like the hot-blooded young man you were, sigh..." a distant voice sounded and then a man flew towards them.
Softly landing beside the frightened Drino.
It was the level 4 Demi God, Zihong, seeing him made all the eight so happy.
Especially Drino! He was completely overjoyed, his saviour was here.
He thanked those administrators who had brought Zihong to him.
"Tsk so useless." Zihong just kicked Drino's broken body away, then looked at the exploding figure.
He knew Vritra could see and hear him.
"But since you sent a toy here, I will keep it for you. Take it if you want it." A twisted smile formed on his lips, he tore that piece of space and stored it away.
Zihong's current body didn't possess the ability of space, this was just basic with their level of strength.
Though, he did possess the ability of time, this was the body he had planted and prepared to use along with that fishing rod stolen by that thief Vritra.
There were many changes to his plans because of unforeseen circumstances, it even got delayed by so long.
But thankfully, a wisp of his consciousness was able to escape, then got nurtured inside the body of that dragon.
And only after growing strong enough did it finally get to this body, the level 4 Demi God.
It was still weaker than his true self but with the time ability, one of the rarest, he was still happy.
Now as long as he could get a few more things, he can continue with his plan.
Thinking about the plan, he looked towards the blinking stars, a strange but profound look in his eyes.
"Anyway, this Soul Wraith of yours, I will hold onto it, come and meet me or well, I will be coming to meet you soon." Zihong muttered before disappearing again.
