Death… And Me Chapter 2848: No Way Back

Chapter 2848: No Way Back

*Kabrum!*
A Bolt of Purple Lightning came, striking down with overwhelming power! The thickness of the bolt was so big that it could cover Kentucky's real form entirely.
"Shit!*
Kentucky didn't even have the time to regret it before he ignited his entire Regal Bloodline.
'Dark and Light Divine Armor!'
Kentucky's body burst with Dark and Light Flames. His Scales hardened, and his Feather Blades tightened. With the addition of his Regal Bloodline, his defense instantly reached its most powerful state. Finally, his wings closed around, creating an umbrella for those below him.
*Boom!*
Thousands of Kentucky's scales broke apart as his Feather Blades disintegrated. In that one strike, Kentucky's defenses were easily breached, causing the Purple Lightning to enter his body and cause havoc!
*Arrrghh!*
However, Celis' Divine Origin Energy entered his body at a ridiculously high rate. At the time, the scales and feather blades began to reform at a speed you could see with the naked eye.
Kentucky didn't take the whole damage alone, though. As if working like a connection, the power of the Purple Lightning passed through Kentucky's body and entered Rean and Celis as well. Both of them instantly suffered damage, although not as bad as Kentucky.
Nonetheless, they survived. "Is this it?" Rean asked, just to take a look at the clouds and see that even more Purple Energy seemed to have accumulated inside the vortex above. From the looks of it, the first Lightning Bolt still wasn't the real deal.
*Kabrum!*
Kentucky's eyes widened as the second Lightning Bolt came down, emitting an even more powerful presence than the previous one. He hasn't recovered from the first Lightning Bolt yet, so one could imagine his desperation. Fortunately, he was experienced and wouldn't just wait to die. His bloodline and armor ignited again, ready to block the second bolt.
*Boom!*
Once again, the Lightning Bolt pierced through Kentucky's defense as if it was made of paper. However, Kentucky soon noticed in the midst of his pain that the power of the bolt wasn't as big as he expected.
*Ugh...*
And the reason for that was none other than Roan. He moved at the last second and delivered a strike against the Lightning Bolt at the perfect moment. With that, half of the Lightning Bolt power was taken by Kentucky, while the other half was taken by Roan and his White Star Scythe.
*Zush!*
*Bang!*
The Lightning Bolt power instantly sent Roan down like a meteor. His body crashed against the ground and caused cracks to spread over several kilometers. His flesh tore open, and Purple Lightning Sparks ran through his entire body.
*Cough, cough...*
Roan vomited out black blood as he quickly tried to use Rean's Light Element to heal himself. Nonetheless, that was truly a heavy hit. If Roan had tried to block even a little bit more of the Lightning Bolt's power, he probably would have succumbed right there and then.
Still, that bought Rean enough time to work. With Celis's help, his Light Element and Laws burst with even more strength, increasing the healing speed of Kentucky's body.
"Rean..." Kentucky called his attention, looking up to the sky.
Rean glanced in the direction Kentucky did and was terrified. "You must be kidding!"
The Purple Energy at the center of the Vortex increased even more. Not only that, Rean could feel that the next Lightning Bolt would be at least twice as powerful as the previous one. Just now, Roan and Kentucky had to share the Lightning Bolt's power with each other to not die, and Roan was immediately put out of the picture. No doubt Roan would need at least a minute while doing his best to recover his body.
A minute... the first two Lightning Bolts came down in less than ten seconds! Where would Roan get a minute? No, first of all, if the next Lightning Bolt was truly over twice as strong as the previous one, even in their tip-top condition, they would still not be able to resist it.
"Cough, cough... the Lightning Energy in your bodies!" Roan shouted while coughing more black blood. "Don't fight it!"
Rean, Celis, and Kentucky were taken aback. "What?!"
Roan closed his eyes and focused on the Purple Lightning. No, to be more specific, he focused on the Purple Energy contained inside it. "This is a treasure capable of tempering all our bodies. Let it run through your bodies. Celis, use our connection to spread the Lightning Bolt energy evently between us four. You are our best chance! Quick!"
"FUCK!" Celis was terrified of the idea of even trying to control such a destructive energy. However, seeing the vortex in the middle of the clouds and the energy inside, he was certain they would die as soon as the next Lightning came down. Not only that, deep inside, it was pretty obvious that escape was not an option. That Lightning Bolt would hit them regardless of where they go in this Universe.
Celis quickly concentrated on his group's bodies and used his laws of absorption to control that energy. Immediately, his soul felt like it would break apart, let alone his body. Nonetheless, his roots continued attacked to Rean and the others as he followed Roan's
orders.
The next Lightning Bolt finished gathering energy in the next few seconds.
*Kabrum!*
Finally, it came crashing down with unstoppable power! Those watching from afar felt just as terrified. Even the Semi-Celestials were not certain they would be able to resist that
Lightning Bolt, let alone a bunch of Space-Time Realm brats.
"They are dead..." Black Locust couldn't help but voice out what everyone thought.
*BOOM!*
The Purple Lightning struck Kentucky head-on! All of Kentucky's defenses that he managed to put up after Roan helped him were once again destroyed. It went through his body and passed through Celis Roots, also reaching Rean and Roan.
Celis's body immediately began to crumble as he tried to spread all the power between them all. Rean used all his energy to release as much Light Element as possible, trying not to heal only Kentucky but everyone this time.
"Resist it, but don't fight against it!" Roan warned them all. "Your bodies, your souls, your
dantians or cores. Let it run through them all! Accept the power! Or we subdue it, or we perish here. There is no way back!"
