Chapter 269: Unlikely Team


    Darcel wasn''t entirely sure this n would work out. After all, he never used Magical Power before, nor did he ever heard ofbining cultivation powers with Magical Power.


    Still, Darcel knows his bloodline is some kind of rare bread. He fathoms it was something rted to Angels, given that vivid dream he had after meeting the yellow-eyed woman. But those ethereal figures were incredibly vague, and he had nobody else to confirm this with.


    Either way, his bloodline most undoubtedly has abilities that are beyond ordinaryprehension.


    In just an instant, he made Fruna''spass pick up on a treasure nearby that her squadron couldn''t do before. This only served as one among many other examples of his bloodline performing feats never before seen in the cultivation world.


    With that thought in mind, Darcel once again poured his bloodline powers into the specialpass.


    The specialpass immediately gained a Darkness glow, and Darcel could already pick up on a potent Qi treasure not that far from them. A vibrant flow of rich Qi energy swirled inside his Spirit Sense, nearly taking Darcel''s full attention.


    That Qi treasure was tempting, but Darcel knows all too well of the danger in this realm. He quickly focused on his current task.


    Ani and Masami stayed silent, their eyes intently focused on the Darkness glow specialpass, hoping for some kind of result.


    Right then, Darcel slowly brought the specialpass towards the ck Magical Crystal orb.


    When his hand hovered an inch near the Magic Crystal orb, Darcel could already sense slight sensations of mysterious energy he never felt before.


    Already his eyes began to shimmer with confidence.


    That slight response told Darcel everything he needed. Without any further dy, he pushed the specialpass towards the ck Magical Crystal orb, so they were meshing against each other.


    Ani, Masami, and Be all felt their breathings get a little bit hitched. They all didn''t know what to expect from this experiment. Cultivation energy and Magical Power mixing together was essentially unheard of.


    But, none of them were given even half a second to think what would happen.


    Instantly when Asher meshed the specialpass and ck Magic Crystal orb together, a profound Darkness glow wrapped over both objects, drowning them in a sea of Darkness.


    Darcel went rigid; an overwhelming rush of that same mysterious energy covered his entire Innate Spirit Sense!


    Darcel would always be proud of his insaneprehension, but at this moment, hisprehension abilities couldn''t help him at all.


    Whatever this strange energy was, Darcel couldn''t understand it at all!


    Admittedly, this rush of mysterious energy started to give him a slight headache.


    The minor pain he was experiencing.it felt familiar to Darcel.


    Almost like it was.no, it was precisely Magical Power!


    Right then, a slight sense of enlightenment struck into Darcel''s mind. This unfathomable, mysterious energy was the highlyplex properties of Magical Power!


    Initially, Darcel had no way of understanding this. However, after only experiencing it for about a few seconds, he could gradually understand a tiny portion of Magical Power.


    As he came upon this realization, within his soul''s core, the prominent green hue part of it began to shine brighter.


    Darcel couldn''t know about it now, but his Chaotic Shard was adequately responding to the Magical Power coursing within his Spirit Sense, helping him toprehend it.


    "Darcy?" Ani called out to him, her tone having slight concern.


    For several seconds now, Darcel wasn''t moving at all, bing akin to a perfect stature. Ani was started to get a bit worried, but even as she called out to him, Darcel remained still.


    "This."


    Masami began poking Darcel''s shoulder, sharing an equal amount of concern with Ani. Though, even as she made direct contact, Darcel didn''t budge an inch.


    "Do you think he''s going through some kind of trance? I mean.we''ve seen those eyes before." Masami suggested to Ani while she peered into Darcel''s unfocused eyes.


    "Hmmm." Ani put a finger to her chin, trying to gauge Darcel''s current state. But before she could answer Masami, Be decided to boldly chime in with her own opinions.


    "It certainly could be possible. Just look how much that orb is pulsating."


    Ani and Masami were half tempted to ignore Be, given their already surging dislike of her. But, since she pointed it out, Ani and Masami felt their eyes subconsciously peer over to the ck Magic Crystal Orb.


    "This."


    Both girls squint their eyes on the orb, nearly unwilling to believe what they''re seeing. Like how Be pointed it out, the Magic Crystal Orb was violently pulsating within the sea of Darcel''s Darkness glow.


    Although, the strange part was that neither Ani, Masami, nor Be could sense Magical Power exuding from it.


    While none of them can properly identify Magical energy, they could at least sense it was different from Qi energy.


    And yet, despite looking like it was going to burst open, there seemingly wasn''t powering from the Magical Crystal Orb.


    It was odd for sure, but before the girls could think deeply about it, Darcel finally started to move.


    His eyes blinked rapidly, quicklying back to his surroundings. He still didn''t remove the specialpass from the ck Magical Crystal orb, but his Darkness glow had decreased in its intensity.


    When Darcel came out of his trance, his sights first caught Ani and Masami''s expecting faces. Peering into their beautiful faces already quelled his slightly jumbled-up minds, and he was about to speak out to them.


    But before he could, Masami eagerly spoke up first. "Well?? How''d it go? For a little bit, you were stuck in some weird trance. Did you get Magic on the brain?"


    "Magic on the brain?"


    Though Masami''s word choices were odd, it did get Darcel to thoroughly think over what just happened. His lips curled into a small smile as he began telling the girls,


    "In the way you put it, I had Magic on the brain for a bit. But it was far too confusing for me toprehend as of now. But, more importantly, I managed to find our ticket out of this ce."


    "Ahh! Great!"


    Both Ani and Masami instantly reacted, feeling an overwhelming rush of relief. The hell they had experienced here simply wasn''t worth it for the random dangerous treasures that could also take their lives.


    "Just how did you do it? Is our way out close to us?" Ani asked two rapid-fire questions in session.


    Darcel briefly closed his eyes for a moment, processing all that he had sensed. He flung them back open a split second after, and there was a clear fire burning within the depths of his pupils.


    "How''d I do it? I''m not so sure; it''s all thanks to my bloodline abilities. What I''m sensing is energy so incredibly profound that I couldn''tprehend it at allpared to Magical Powers. I think this has something to do with Spatial abilities. In any case, the portal is actually a bit far from us."


    "Is that so? Well then, I''ll protect you three until we arrive at that spot."


    Before Ani and Masami could even react, Be swiftly spoke without missing a beat. She stared directly into Darcel''s eyes, and her tone was like she would not take no for an answer.


    Darcel, Ani, and Masami shared a look between each other.


    Darcel''s expression was the least tense, while Ani and Masami''s were furrowing their eyebrows.


    "Tch.should we really ept her help? I.just feel too weird about her." Masami voiced her concerns.


    "Haaah.I know how you feel, Sami. Buuut, I already know you will ept her help, right, Darcy? Your expression just gives it away." Ani had put on a slightly wry smile, deeply masking any show of negative feelings.


    Although, from within his Darkness Soul link, Darcel could sense the mix of distrust and begrudge in both Ani and Masami. To cate the girls, Darcel spoke in the calmest tone possible.


    "Look. With her help, we won''t have to worry that much about running into a squadron group. Furthermore, I can sense the portal isn''t that far away. The sooner we get this done, the faster we can escape this ce."


    "Fuuu.yea, yea, I know you''re right. Just, to get protected by her, what a cruel twist." Masami grumbled out her frustrations, but she held no intentions to reject anymore.


    "Now, now. Like Darcy said, the faster we get there, the faster we''ll be free!" Ani''s tone gained a hint of brightness as she madeforting pats on Masami''s shoulder.


    Darcel just had to shake his head at the girl''s antics. Sometime down the line, he''ll really need to seriously address their mental state.


    Still, Darcel could at least admit that being protected certainly was an odd feeling.


    Pushing down those thoughts, Darcel turned his sights back on Be, who, throughout this entire time, patiently waited with a rxed smile.


    "Well, it''s decided. Everyone, stick close to me. I''ll need some concentration to take us there, so don''t stray far from me." Darcel exined to the girls.


    "Right." Ani, Masami, and Be simultaneously nodded at him.


    Without dying any longer, Darcel pinpointed in his Innate Spirit Sense where that teleportation portal was and shot off towards the skies.


    Despite it being only his second time flying, Darcel moved through the air like he''s been flying for all of his life.


    From right behind him, Ani and Masami flew at Darcel''s exact speed. And just like Darcel, even though it''s only her second time flying, Ani could soar at high speeds like an inborn natural.


    Tailing just ten feet behind them was Be, who could easily match with Darcel''s group speed.


    As Be flew, she stimted the Darkness energy within her soul and quickly masked her presence.


    Like this, they all soared at top speeds, ripping right through the airwaves, heading directly to a hidden teleportation portal.
