道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

Narrowing his eyes Ji Di Tian summons another set of hands and presses them against the prison's side panels.

Similar to the first set the moment these phantom hands make contact with the ghostly mist summoned by Hua Luo's Absolute Law their flesh is peeled to reveal the bones beneath it.

Without stopping there a third set is summoned and rather quickly every panel of the cubic prison is covered by a hand of bones that gave off a misty strand of death Qi.

*Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE!* reminiscent of a savage beast that's been imprisoned the sealed lightning roars with defiance and despite the three set of hands doing everything they can to suppress it the prison inevitably continues to expand and contract much to the irritation of Ji Di Tian and Chong Tianzi who are forced to expend more energy and methods to contain it!

*Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE!* as seconds turn to minutes a stalemate is formed with both sides attempting to take control of the ongoing development!

*Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE!* each time Ji Di Tian and Chong Tianzi thought that they might be able to relax the Asura Monarch would lash back at them with a stronger blast of electric energy that threatens to rip the prison apart from the inside!

A consensus that all practitioners have when ranking the power of the natural elements is that lightning is the most explosive element coupled with the most violent personality; it serving as the Asura Monarch's signature and method of enforcing judgment is all the proof needed to demonstrate its superiority over other elements and-

*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!* with every blast being more powerful than the one prior this explosive characteristic that is unique to the element of lightning is demonstrated to the fullest!

(Heh. Both of them are rather reserved with one another. They're not willing to expend more than what is needed.)

Noticing the way in which Ji Di Tian and Chong Tianzi are acting with one another the Asura Monarch can naturally tell that these two are warier of each other than they are of him.

With their combined strength they could have easily subdued him in seconds instead of taking this much time.

(...No matter what I'm at a disadvantage if I try to deal with them head-on.)

Thinking of how he should deal with Ji Di Tian and Chong Tianzi after escaping from this prison the Asura Monarch contemplates about the options he has on hand.

Even with Hua Luo's assistance attempting to battle the two monarchs in a head-on confrontation would only be foolish.

The best choice here would be to withdraw but-

(This is just as foolish, but my pride simply won't allow me to back down.)

Regardless of the method the Asura Monarch will do everything in his power to get a bit of payback in for the incident that occurred many, many centuries ago.

[Chong Tianzi what's wrong? Why not put a bit more effort into this?]

(Tch. Either I put more effort into this or just let this situation gradually deteriorate into Shura's advantage is it?)

It would be difficult to describe just how bad Chong Tianzi's mood is at this time.

Judging by the tone in Ji Di Tian's voice it's become evident that the former will absolutely not expend more effort than what is necessary to suppress the Asura Monarch from escaping.

From a bystander's point of view it looked as if Ji Di Tian and Chong Tianzi are working together to suppress the Asura Monarch but that was far from true.

In actuality the one who is forced to bear the brunt of the lightning blast is Chong Tianzi with Ji Di Tian providing just the bare minimum amount of assistance to ensure that the Asura Monarch won't be able to escape.

(...Is this bastard not worried about how the deterioration of this situation might affect himself? If Shura and that human does manage to escape won't this entire situation just become more of a headache to deal with? At that point everything might just get out of hand...)

Thinking along these lines Chong Tianzi can't help but feel that there is something amiss about the way Ji Di Tian is behaving at this time.

[Hmph do you seriously think that I don't want to? With my raiment totaled my strength has weakened drastically.]

[Oh?]

Despite having doubts in his mind towards his supposed ally Chong Tianzi is unable to find out just what it is that is strange about Ji Di Tian's attitude towards the situation.

As this stalemate goes on for a bit over ten minutes with neither side being able to gain the advantage over the other-

[...]

The remaining batches of talismans that surrounds Hua Luo is incinerated causing the final layers of his defense to disintegrate.

(.........Won't be long now.)

Opening his eyes to the current development and seeing as how the Asura Monarch is attempting to brute force his way out of this prison Hua Luo knew that now wasn't the time to hold anything back as he rises to a stand.

[You persisten- Uh?]

Before Chong Tianzi can finish his words he noticed Hua Luo approaching the lightning cross in a single step.

The moment his right hand lands upon the lightning cross Hua Luo immediately begins to pour his strength into it.

(I suppose I'll have to gamble.)

More certain of this being the best opportunity to escape than ever the Asura Monarch holds nothing back in feeding the lightning cross!

*Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE!* with both Hua Luo and the Asura Monarch's strength imbued into the lightning cross its body begins to expand and contract as it starts to undergo another transformation!

*CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!* seemingly unable to contain the vast amount of energy that is being fed to it the lightning cross expands in volume as its center turns into the form of a sphere!

With this sphere of lightning acting as its center concentrated beams of electric energy protrudes from its body and stabs onto the panels of the prison from all possible angles!
