Chapter 72: Risky Move


    Immediately both Darcel and Ani expected pain, mes, and suppression to try and overwhelm their bodies. Their teeth clenched in chilling anticipation for anything toe.


    Only.they soon realized nothing dide to them.


    For a couple of seconds, the duo waited, and still, nothing happened. Stealing a nce towards each other, Darcel and Ani nevertheless didn''t drop their guard.


    But right then, a bright, piercing silver shine shed in Darcel and Ani''s eyes.


    The shine forced the two to squint their eyes, but on the ming silverish green hand, they saw that the silver glow came from the center of its palm.


    Incredible surges of powers suddenly permeated in the air. The silver glow grew intenser by the nanosecond forcing the duo to now shut their eyes altogether.


    And at the peak of this bright silver glow,


    ''Chi!''


    A blinding luminous silver sh burst out for miles in the Demesne Grave!


    Nobody else was in Darcel and Ani''s general vicinity, leaving the blinding silver sh to transpire without any eyes watching.


    Once the silver sh died down, Darcel and Ani were nowhere to be seen.


    Quickly then, the Demesne Grave fell into its usual ominously dreary silence.


    But soon, this grave will be prone to swelling action once again.


    .


    Pain, intense scorching agony, assaulted Darcel and Ani''s body and Spirit Sense.


    Their eyes burst open to the size of saucers at this rapid abrupt change of pace.


    However, what greeted Darcel and Ani''s vision was bright dazzling green mes. These raging green mes chaotically swirled about whatever room they were transported to. It was akin to a fiery storm.


    Though, oddly enough, at first nce, Darcel and Ani found these green mes to look simr to Fire they once witnessed before.


    But they pushed down such small thoughts for now and promptly tried to see if they could surge their bloodlines powers.


    Darcel grit his teeth barrelling through the excruciating sizzling pain, and forcefully touched upon a different source of power that wasn''t from his soul.


    His eyes shed in realization once sensing he could now mobilize his Nascent Qi and use his bloodline powers!


    Ani as well gained a determined light in her eyes once sensing her Nascent Qi wasn''t suppressed that much now.


    In a nanosecond, she musters as much bloodline powers she could manage now, enriching her body in a white essence.


    A beautiful bright white glow aura wrapped around Ani''s body, alleviating a small portion of her scorching anguish.


    Darcel had managed to form a mesmerizing Darkness glow aura, simrly alleviating a bit of the pain.


    "Fuu." A small sigh escaped both Darcel and Ani''s mouths.


    Truthfully only two seconds passed since they were teleported to this ming room. But in those two seconds, they both felt as if they would genuinely be burnt to a crisp!


    The level of pain they were dealing with now wasn''t precisely tolerable, but Darcel and Ani weren''t particrly unfamiliar with facing a challenge.


    Suddenly then, the duo sharply snapped their heads up.


    Once somewhat dealing with the pain, they felt their soul get even more intense in its swirling. In fact, during the whole two seconds of tortuous agony, their soul had never stop writhing about.


    "Ah-ah is-is that it?" Ani barely managed to pant out.


    Her eyes were enraptured by two beautiful objects floating at the center of this room.


    Darcel didn''t say anything for a moment; his eyes were too engrossed at the same things.


    The two beautiful objects that stole the duo''s attention were two luxurious scimitars.


    These scimitars were an elegant mix of bright green and a hint of gorgeous silver hue. Several unique, exotic-looking patterns danced on the de part of the scimitars, further adding to its distinguished excellence.


    And yet, the biggest striking quality about these scimitars was the unfathomable aura they naturally exuded. The aura was majestic and breathtaking akin toing across the beautiful mes of a phoenix.


    Just being in the vicinity of these scimitars, anyone would feel the mighty power brewing deep inside these des.


    "Ear-Earthen Spirit Weapons." Darcel breathed out in slight awe.


    From even before the ck Dungeon Labyrinth, neither Darcel nor Ani decided to change from their Mortal Spirit rapier weapon.


    They had just never found it necessary, plus their rapier worked well enough with also fighting above their realm.


    But during their training with Vice Principal Zelle, she had taught them about the advantages of Earthen Spirit Weapons and pushed them to get one.


    Earthen Spirit Weapons were, of course, far stronger than Mortal Spirit ones, though they cost far more Qi to properly use.


    Darcel and Ani initially had ns to get one after cultivating, but the prospect of testing out their new might got their blood boiling to an unprecedented level.


    And in Darcel and Ani''s minds, they had juste to the conclusion that their slight weapon problems were no longer an issue.


    "Ju-just imagine what tier they''re in." Ani wonders out loud.


    Neither of the two could precisely identify what tier these Scimitars were.


    Only this breathtaking aura probably matched even high tier Earthen Spirit Weapons they encountered around Zakira Academy!


    "Fi-first, these mes."


    Before they could attempt to get close to those magnificent scimitars, Darcel knew these green mes had to go!


    He didn''t even want to try moving, knowing their pain would probably only intensify.


    For a few seconds, Darcel and Ani''s faces scrunched up.


    They racked their brains on how to deal with these mes, but nothing seemed obvious.


    Most of their power was poured into defending, and even then, it would be unwise to st out attacks against raging green mes.


    ''If only we could.!'' Right then, a trail of thought shock through Darcel''s mind.


    His head quickly snapped towards Ani, who at the same time snapped her head towards in simr realization.


    "Absorption!"


    Both Darcel and Ani simultaneously shouted in zealous excitement.


    Looking towards Ani, Darcel found it a bit amusing she was holding a pained smile uponing at this realization.


    Although Darcel was sure, he himself had a simrly excited smirk in what they were going to attempt next.


    It was way, way back when they had first started their journey in this Province. But there was one critical moment that had saved their lives for their journey.


    Darcel and Ani had vividly recalled the time they had taken on Anne''s group and escaped the Wrathful n.


    That group had made the desperatest effort attempt to fry them both with their signature ck mes.


    Only that n had fruitlessly failed right in front of their faces. By just using a small portion of their souls, not only had Darcel and Ani absorb their ck mes. They also managed to fully gain the Element of Fire in their souls as if they had it since their conception stage.


    Compared to that situation, absorption now was highly risky.


    Darcel and Ani could tell how terrifying these green mes can be, just by going how that strange man was incinerated to mere ashes.


    However, they truly didn''t have any other options left. They wouldn''t be able to hold their protective aura forever, and once that''s gone, essentially, a slow, painful death awaits them.


    Although even during the absorption process, they could make one small fatal mistake and burst into a bloody mist!


    But out of these risks, if Darcel and Ani seeded, they would be able to rapidly advance in theirprehension of the element of Fire.


    Taking onest look at each other, both Darcel and Ani determinedly nodded.


    In just their eyes, the two can tell the unwavering amount of confidence they had in each other. And with rising courage, Darcel and Ani swiftly made up their minds!


    They had both then sprang open their right palms and closed their eyes.


    Instead of using Nascent Qi or their bloodline powers, Darcel and Ani directly touched upon their souls.


    Slowly and carefully, they willed their pure ck ming essence towards their palms.


    Darcel and Ani were patient, forming these ck mes. Using pure essence from their souls could result in a heinous deadly bacsh.


    Still, Darcel and Ani were quick to adapt and stay calm under this risky move.


    After ten seconds of pushing down the pain and diverting all of their attention in forming their pure ck mes, Darcel and Ani finally felt the breaking point.


    More focus than ever, on the palms of Darcel and Ani, ck Fire slowly began to appear, swirling in a circr motion.


    The ck mes were vague at first but quickly began to be pronounced within mere seconds.


    And after precisely ten more seconds, the duo swirled apleted pure essence ck ming ball!


    Opening their eyes, Darcel and Ani were a bit surprised at the current appearance of their mes.


    Seemingly, their ck mes looked more dazzling and luminous to gaze upon. The way their ck mes swirled was almost elegant in a way moving in a rhythmic pattern.


    But Darcel and Ani quickly shifted their attention from the appearances as now wasn''t the time.


    Carefully, Darcel and Ani recalled the exact same sensation and feelings when they had first used their souls to absorb the Wrathful n ck mes.


    The duo plunged deeply into their minds, vividly recalling every little detail down to the tiniest of specks.


    Seeing as they are far strongerpared to that time, Darcel and Ani didn''t have to rely on a risky lucky chance to control their souls to absorb.


    Simultaneously, Darcel and Ani sprang open their eyes and clenched their palms.


    Very steadily, a small wisp of sizzling green mes flows towards the duo.


    Darcel and Ani''s pure essence ck mes continually spewed a maic allure for the wisp of green me, pulling it in like a whirlpool.


    As soon as this small wisp of green mes touched Darcel and Ani''s pure essence ck ming ball, it immediately got sucked in with zero resistance!


    Right then, Darcel and Ani felt tremendous changes to their body, Spirit Sense, and soul!


    It didn''t matter which part of their being; everything was under intense scorching burns. This was even more intense than the green mes that surged around the whole room.


    Bearing this kind of pain was borderline torture. No sane youths Darcel and Ani age would ever want to survive this kind of power even if it meant a tremendous power boost.


    But for Darcel and Ani?


    They were warped ever since their grueling childhoods. Their eyes turned bloodshot, blood gushed from their mouths as they violently gnashed their teeth.


    In Darcel and Ani''s mind, a straightforward thought was repeated on verbatim.


    Never submit to any challenges!


    From their childhood kidnappings until now, it was never in Darcel and Ani''s style to let when something challenginge up roll all over them.


    No matter who it was in the Parasol Organization, they always kept a defiant but smart attitude.


    Others resist or go against the grain because of pride, egotism, or determined hard workers ready to make massive changes in their lives.


    And yet, Darcel and Ani always resist as their minds simply wouldn''t be at peace. There was something incredibly wrong Darcel, and Ani found in being weak and submissive and having a give up attitude.


    Darcel thought, perhaps it really was like Ani said.


    Maybe....maybe it really wasn''t in their blood to just stay confined. Maybe their bloodlines are genuinely pushing them to always have a defiant attitude.


    Though no matter what pre-development led to this train of thought, Darcel and Ani were sure right now they will not lose out to these green mes!


    And it was upon this thought Darcel and Ani became utterly still.


    Their eyes became unfocused, but their minds were bing increasingly sharp.


    The scorching sizzling pain in their souls, bodies, and Spirit Sense was still present, but none of that could affect their minds now.


    Mysterious andplex properties of the element Fire Darcel and Ani couldn''t understand before were now slowly bing less vague.


    Under the intense green mes, Darcel and Ani steadily fell into an Enlightenment trance.
