Chapter 180 - A Very Dangerous Soul Battle
It was the same aura of her past disciple!!
She didn't act at once, as she first inspected Arthur's body, making sure this aura didn't come from him, but from that cursed book. The face drawn of this book showed a confident sneer, mocking Arthur for his naivety, and didn't realize there was someone else there.
'Hang on inside, I will do something to help you!'
Arthur heard a strange female voice, but he didn't care about her identity, all he cared about was how to kill this face. He knew this wasn't the whole soul of that old hideous dragonair, but if he wanted to live, he had to kill this face.
He was so poor in regard to soul battles, but at least he now had a glimpse of hope. The next moment he controlled his energy, moved it towards that black fog.
The moment the two collided, a sizzling sound erupted, with his energy being on the losing foot here. 'Just give up already, you are no match to me!' the mocking sound of that old dragonair came again, making fun of his futile attempt.
However Arthur didn't stop, instead he used all the energies his body was now absorbing to fight back. Despite the huge amount of energy used in doing so, he was yet to lose the fight, but the speed at which this black fog was spreading into his soul and mind was now slowing, making Arthur heave a long sigh of relief.
His task wasn't to kill this fouled cursed soul, but to delay its spread, until that mysterious helper of his would find a way to help him.
As for Amanda, the next moment she opened her eyes, she hurriedly glanced at the other four as she hurriedly shouted:
"Hurry up, come here to help!"
Her shout wasn't received lightly by them, as they all moved, instantly appearing beside her, while their faces were very grim and so serious.
"What's wrong? is he ok?" Cesile hurriedly asked with much worry, as she knew Amanda wouldn't be this troubled without a very serious reason!
"There is no time, we need to initiate the soul cleavage diagram now!"
"Soul cleavage! You don't want to kill his soul!!!" Cesile was shocked by Amanda's intentions, but Amanda hurriedly took her place in this five person diagram as she added:
"Not him, there is a really fouled curse inside him. if we don't hurry, we would lose him forever!"
There were no more words to say, as everyone just jumped to take their position in this mighty diagram. This soul cleavage diagram was used to kill old ancient soul creatures in their world, a very famous and one of the top secrets of the academy.
A weapon that helped to shape the current fame and prestige of the academy! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say if not for it, the academy would have long been destroyed by her enemies!
The moment everyone was in their places, they closed their eyes, and their hands started to move, in flashing moves, very synchronized together, making anyone seeing them unable to take his eyes away.
However, despite the moves of hands being apparent in front of everyone, no one could really make sure of what moves were done here!
It was one of the most complex diagrams in their world! they kept using the moves for a couple of minutes, before a wave of energy suddenly started to appear, forming a five angled star structure, made entirely of energy.
"Look, isn't it the legendary soul cleavage diagram? The five angled star diagram?!!"
Shouts of shocked exclamations erupted everywhere around them, as many mages already identified this legendary diagram, as they heard a lot of legendary stories about it.
The mages gasped in shock, but the five masters never paid attention to them. They all knew this diagram was impossible to be cracked by seeing, as they took years of learning and practicing it until they managed to be able to do it.
In the ten minutes after initiating this diagram, the shape of the star built of energy changed, to be like a mighty tornado, while Arthur's body was in the eye of it.
Arthur didn't have it easy this time, as his body was oozing sweat while his soul was raged by the intense fight occurring between his energy and that cursed black fog of that old dragonair.
The fight was meaningless for the cursed soul, as that dragonair was just enjoying his time, knowing he would eventually smash Arthur's resistance and claim his soul.
However, after the passage of ten stressful minutes on Arthur, a sudden appearance of a large sickle in his soul startled him. At first he thought it was another trick of that cursed soul, but when he sensed the fearful reaction that soul gave, as the whole book shivered the moment that sickle appeared, he realized this sickle wasn't here to attack him, but to help.
'Finally!' he heaved a long sigh of relief, where he took away all the exhaustion and stress piled up inside him during the last ten minutes. The sickle didn't wait, as it moved, in a slow speed, towards that book. Arthur felt this sickle was being controlled, and he was right in his guess.
At this moment, the five masters all delved deeply inside his soul, as they were all controlling the sickle, to move towards that cursed book. The book tried to escape, move at any place away from this sickle, however this wasn't accessible to it, as Arthur had already surrounded his soul with his energy, preventing this book from even leaving there.
Any darkness touched that sickle shattered instantly and turned into wisps of purified energy absorbed by Arthur's soul and body. to his astonishment, the amount of this energy was really superb, even higher than what he was currently absorbing from the main orb.
The book kept running for the next couple of minutes, however it was doomed to be hit by the sickle in the end
