All, One, Everything.

Chapter 14: Shaking off the Pursuers, Angel's Grave? (2)

Preview: The two stopped as they stared intently at the blinding white light in the distance

Holy light filled the duo's visions as Pendra cried out in pain. The holy light's light pierced its skin, especially its eyes that felt like it was melting.

"Aaaah! Master! This is too much! I don't think we can pass through here before we get melted! Let's take a detour otherwise the holy light would purify us into nothingness!"

A fragrant smell emitted from Pendra's body like the street foods at the side of the road and sounds of sizzling interrupted the solemnity of the situation . The pain of flesh burning that felt like being roasted on the spot struck Pendra as he turned towards his master to see the situation.

Bright yellow-orange holy light reflected and emanated from the sunflower like the light of the setting sun. The entire body burned with stellar-like visage as the light continued growing.

Pendra was discombobulated as to why his master wasn't feeling anything. He squirmed in discomfort and frustration.

Holy light is like the kryptonite for demons that are innately aligned with the dark element. Therefore, even though this holy light had already been greatly weakened over the years, it was still able to cause harm to demons on the periphery.

It was especially so for Low-Rank demons like them. They had very weak resistance against magic, especially the light attribute one.

"Master, why do you seem... okay?" He voiced out his thoughts as he endured the discomfort and pain.

He was greatly shaken as he stared at the figure bathed in the shadow of the holy light while his sensors constantly burned from the fiendish and disgusting light drowning them from a distance.

"Pendra.. This... This might just be BUFFET for me! I feel like I can eat this holy light around me! And it's gonna be DELISH!!" The little sunflower told the tiny centipede as the sense of attraction kept pulling its consciousness towards the light.

It felt like the light was attractive.. And as though it was calling out to be eaten! It had a weird thought that if it consumed the holy light, it would be the best nourishment for the energy they consumed and exhausted along the way! It also noticed the similarity with the power it erupted within the Creeping Jungle in order to escape. And thus, with the strange feeling of attraction, and the sudden realization of its resemblance, the sunflower no longer hesitated, what's more, this is entirely a free BUFFET meal!

Numerous roots appeared and slithered towards the pure holy land as they got drowned by the omnipresent light. A different taste flowed through the roots and into the stem, causing the little sunflower to cry out in surprise and joy "Aaahh! Delishh!! This! This is too good! I WANT MOAR!" more roots traveled through the ground as they kept a proper distance.

Even though the sunflower was lost in the taste of holy light, it did not forget the pitiful centipede coiled around it. Due to some reason, it could absorb this holy light but its existence is the nemesis for all demons and Pendra was no exception. Thus, it kept that in mind and only absorbed from afar.

Pendra watched all of this in shock and silence as time passed. The holy light that enveloped the vicinity slowly receded like a tide after half a day of absorption. All of these did not make sense but Pendra gradually accepted that it is what it is.

His perception and understanding of his master changed once again. He thought that its existence was already illogical and broken enough, but just this alone subverted all its previous thoughts and beliefs. After all, which demon would not only avoid holy light, but even absorb it?! It simply did not conform to the laws of the Underworld and its lifeforms. It felt as though it was slapping the entire plane with its actions right now. What? I'm a demon so I have to get hurt by holy light? What a b*llshit. Watch me eat it!! This was exactly the thought going through Pendra's mind at the moment as it watched the light diminish and flow through the roots in the distance.

3 days have passed since the Little Sunflower started absorbing the holy light and the absorption speed is still rising. At this time, the pursuers are still nowhere to be seen while the Little Sunflower is growing into the menace of the upper level of hell or perhaps, the whole Hell.

Only a bit of holy light was left at the size of a small pond, as the roots siphoned the energy contained, the little bit of holy light left was finally exhausted. It swirled into particles of light that entered the roots and became "nourishment". "Aaaah, finally! How satisfying! I'm full! I feel strong!!"

It has been 5 days since the Little Sunflower absorbed the holy light and finally finished it today! The Little Sunflower couldn't help but linger in the aftertaste of the holy light, it was so delicious and refreshing as if the spring after the winter.

Besides feeling satisfied and full, the sunflower also felt a different kind of power flowing through her roots at the moment. This power was not hers but she had a certain level of control.

The Little Sunflower stretched out its roots to pick up a demon nearby and fwoosh! Light surged in the roots and drowned the demon, cries of pain sounded in this desolate land until it disappeared a few seconds later. The light slowly dispersed and the Little Sunflower no longer felt anything in its grasp.

The roots slowly untangled and from it one could see ashes flying in the wind, and imperceptible to the naked eye, a mass of dark energy flowed towards the roots of the Little Sunflower. The Little Sunflower felt the power in its roots but could not find anything wrong therefore it put its attention back towards the place the demon was. Hmm.. Is this the holy light's ability? It seems to be the weakness of all demons...

As it thought of this, it could not help but think of the annoying dogs chasing its tails. Hehehe, I'll test it out on them to see how powerful I am now.. Then I'll kill them and taste a new type of dish.. hehe.
