Chapter 486 Blood Demon Seed
Chapter 486 Blood Demon Seed
Jonathan surveyed his surroundings and knew that acting there and then would catch the attention of the others. By then, he had realized that things were not going to end well that day. It would be better for him to follow the other man to settle the matter. “All right. Lead the way,” he said.
Sahir turned to leave. He was quick, and the next step he took brought him to the air.
Sahir was a Dual-Element Magician who wielded both Light Magic and Water Magic. What he did was gather water elements in the air to make them into his stepping stones before using light elements to enhance his capability of walking in the air.
Jonathan was dumbfounded. Without a doubt, he was not proficient in the difficult practice of walking in the air.
Even if he did wield Light and Water Magic, he did not know how to use them in this way. His strength was not magic but cultivation. Discarding his mastery in cultivation just to take flight would be a foolish move.
Jonathan stood still.
After a brief moment, Sahir turned to see that Jonathan was still in the same spot. He immediately turned around and snapped, “Why aren't you following me?”
“I can't fly,” Jonathan muttered with a shrug.
The second he said those words, the people around him chortled.
It was hilarious to them.
Sahir was rendered speechless too. Left with no choice, he descended back to the ground.
He cast Distance Shortening Magic and swiftly left the area. This time, Jonathan followed him.
The two of them were soon away from the bustling street.
Jonathan was well aware that Fekro could not last for long. He had to return as quickly as possible after purchasing the gem. Of course, Jonathan had another reason for engaging with Sahir. He was certain that Migsett had a significant amount of treasures in his storage ring and guessed that Sahir would possess even more. Since Sahir had come all the way to him for revenge, he thought he might as well drop the pleasantries.
It was not as if he was afraid of Sahir anyway.
Jonathan was confident in his cultivation level. He was sure that he would be a pretty formidable opponent with his cultivation and magic. But, of course, Jonathan still knew that he was no match for Lynn.
Nevertheless, he was even more confident going up against Sahir because the latter no longer possessed the Golden Pen.
Lynn had destroyed it.
After exiting Lerton, Jonathan and Sahir arrived by a lake.
The area was filled with tall willow trees, but where they had stopped was desolated and enveloped in darkness.
When the wind blew, it was freezing.
Jonathan and Sahir stood facing each other. Sahir had wanted to fight Jonathan in the middle of the lake, for that would suit his standing far better than on the ground. However, he soon realized that Jonathan might not be able to head there, so he gave up on the idea.
Naturally, Sahir could tell that Jonathan was a master cultivator. Without wasting any more of his breath, he launched a sudden attack.
A black seed abruptly appeared in his hand.
Sahir made a small cut on his finger and let drops of his blood fall on the black seed.
Then, a golden light began radiating from the black seed.
A sense of foreboding crashed into Jonathan's mind, and he immediately figured out that he could not let Sahir complete the spell. Tapping the air, he launched Flaming Sword at Sahir.
At the same time, he unleashed Arctic Frost.
It was a dual attack, one of Jonathan's signature moves.
He would first attack with the Flaming Sword, followed closely by Arctic Frost. Then, he would end it
with a Destino Art assault.
However, something went wrong this time. The black seed was radiant, but it held a tinge of red.
Soon, its light changed into a giant golden cauldron.
The giant golden cauldron was the size of a house, and it caged Jonathan in it.
Jonathan's Flaming Sword ended up striking the giant golden cauldron, making thunderous noises from its strikes.
Sparks flew, and the Flaming Sword quickly disappeared.
The Arctic Frost spell was stuck in the giant golden cauldron too.
Jonathan paled drastically, for the cauldron had appeared so suddenly that he could not even react to it before getting trapped in it.
Everything happened at the speed of light, and humans can never compare to the speed of light.
Alarm bells were ringing in Jonathan's head. He quickly gathered endless water elements to create an ice pillar before throwing it at the surface of the cauldron.
The cauldron remained unmoving, but the ice pillar shattered.
It was surprisingly sturdy.
Jonathan's heart sank, and he quickly threw himself against the cauldron this time. He had the power of seven thousand five hundred kilograms, and it was certainly a power not to be trifled with.
However, the golden light had turned the surface of the cauldron into steel. His combination of magic and physical attacks did no damage to it. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Jonathan could feel the air and the magic elements within the cauldron being rapidly sucked away.
His eyes widened. He knew that once the air and the magic elements were all gone from the cauldron and with the outside air and magical elements isolated from the golden cauldron, he was dead meat.
What if I escape with earth elements' transportation spell? Jonathan hastily cast the Earth Splitter spell on the ground. To his despair, he found that the ground was covered by a layer of golden steel too.
He was surrounded by the golden steel walls, and he could not escape.
Both air and magic elements around him were running out.
In fact, he could feel the air thinning. Despite his mastery in cultivation, he would still die without air.
“What kind of magic is this? What kind of treasure is this?” Jonathan's heart raced. He feels frustrated about his inability to resolve his crisis.
Right then, a voice came from above him.
Sahir sneered, “You little thief, you're never going to leave my Blood Demon Seed after getting trapped in this.”
It was then Jonathan finally realized that while he was in the cauldron, he was also in Sahir's hand.
Sahir now seemed like a giant to him, and he was like a miniature human being.
“Right! Sahir is holding the black seed, and I'm now in the black seed. This black seed is the Blood Demon Seed, and in it lies a pocket dimension. In other words, I'm trapped in its pocket dimension!” Jonathan was a smart man, and he was quick to figure out what happened to him.
Despite realizing that, he could not think of a way to escape the pocket dimension.
He began crying out, “Sahir, are you dumb? Why didn't you use this to deal with Theos earlier?”
Sahir scrunched up his face in response. “Shut it. The air in this Blood Demon Seed is about to run out, so get ready to meet your end.”
Realization dawned upon Jonathan. “That's because the Blood Demon Seed can't trap Theos. You're afraid that she'll destroy the Blood Demon Seed in the process.”
“So what?” Sahir snapped, his embarrassment turning into anger. “The Blood Demon Seed has its own ecosystem, forming a pocket dimension within itself. Though I can't trap that b*tch Lynn, it's a piece of cake for me to trap you!”
At that, Jonathan fell silent. He knew that he would only be wasting his meager amount of air by arguing with Sahir.
In fact, there was no more air in the seed.
Fortunately, Jonathan had trained in Bloodgate—also known as Haemocore—underwater before.
It would not be an issue for him to hold his breath for half an hour.
Still, he did not dare to underestimate the situation. He knew that he was in an unprecedented crisis.
Furthermore, if he died, Torrence, Clarabelle, and Yeverie would face endless dangers ahead.
The release of the dragon breath would spell a massive disaster.
Jonathan did not panic, nevertheless. He sat cross-legged and began thinking of an escape plan.
Sahir stiffened when he noticed that, for he found Jonathan's behavior strange. Not only was Jonathan not despairing, but he was even keeping his cool.
“Hmph!” Sahir snorted. “I refuse to believe that you have a way to get rid of the Blood Demon Seed's pocket dimension!”
Jonathan began chanting Ultra Sun Moon Mantra quietly, his mind gaining clarity.
He could finally sense that there were no more air and magic elements around him.
The air pressure inside was strong, and it felt peculiar. He felt as if he was trapped in a car that had fallen into the depths of the ocean. Yet, at the same time, he could sense the raging waters outside.
“The pocket dimension has its own ecosystem,” Jonathan repeated what he heard from Sahir under his
breath.
Boundless universe. Boundless dimensions. Humans. Creatures. Everything followed the same concept. Wanting to leave the Blood Demon Seed was the same as him wanting to leave Moranta back to the boundless universe. He could not find a way out. But the Blood Demon Seed's dimension was smaller. Where was its breakthrough?
There is still something different about them. Moranta doesn't have walls as this seed does. If I break the walls of this seed, I can leave this place, and yet, I'm not powerful enough to do that. What now?
Jonathan closed his eyes and employed The Void Manifestation with his mind sphere.
Immediately, he could see everything in his surroundings, including the lake, the wind, and the willow trees.
Outside, the magic elements were raging.
Jonathan could feel them, but he felt like a goldfish trapped in a bowl, unable to do anything but look at the outside world.
Time ticked by.
Sahir coldly observed Jonathan, who was still sitting cross-legged and did not move.
I'm still not powerful enough, Jonathan lamented. What physical power I have now can never break the walls of the Blood Demon Seed. I can only rely on the magic elements.
