Chapter 189 – Attack Of A Supreme Realm Expert Part-5
The first collision of Aegis Light's shield and Aethon Light's energy attack blasted the nearby Barton and rank-7 experts.
With Aethon realizing that their objective won't be accomplished unless his descendant falls, he decided to stay there and take care of Aegis while ordering Bay Passel's great grandfather, Alphonse Passel to support Timothy in taking down his enemies.
And so, a team with two-peak-7 experts, one mid-rank-7 expert, and one high-rank-7 expert was formed with the sole task of beheading Azzy and anyone that comes in the way.
Meanwhile, the blasted helped Barton and Affea to get closer to where Azzy is and increased the distance between them and Timothy.
Watching the four of them making the move, Barton looked to his side and said, "You go, I'll take care of it."
Naturally, Affea's concern was only on her foster son. She didn't even hesitate to leave Barton alone and rushed towards Azzy while Barton stood there to welcome the incoming attackers.
As there was a battle going on between powerful experts in the middle of the field, the four exalts had to rush towards their target by going around while maintaining a distance from the two freaks in the middle.
So, Barton felt like he had enough time even though he only has a few seconds at best. After all, for seven-star realm experts, covering a mere two hundred meters won't take much longer.
The Principal started to rapidly making advanced rune symbols to form a seal.
A huge circle appeared before Barton, bigger than himself. More than twenty rune symbols are successfully formed and a thread of energy in the shape of a limbless whiskered dragon is crawling around the circle.
Whenever it passes the rune symbol, it lights them up. Within no time, half of the rune symbols are lit up.
"He's halfway done with the seal," Ricardus commented as they were still on their way. A couple of lower-level robots tried to block him but with a single punch, he blasted them to crash on the wall.
Glancing at the audience section, Timothy then spoke, "let's just not confront him and change our direction, this way. This Everglade is very good at sealing techniques."
"Are you afraid even with three of us tagging along with you, Lord Light?" Alphonse let out a comment in response to Timothy's cowardly tactic of going out of the stadium through a nearby exit and then, circling the stadium to ambush them from behind.
Even the loyal General didn't feel like following the suggestion of this former king. After all, they are seven-star realm experts. They are Exalts, widely respected in every part of the world. They have their own pride.
In the end, the four of them rushed towards Barton, who smiled as he just managed to finish the seal in time. "Well, you are too slow."
As the large seal successfully formed, it opened like a gate, revealing a dark space within. Barton put it inside it and took out a seemingly ordinary-looking mirror.
However, strangely, when Barton looks at it, his face didn't reflect on the mirror. The four experts halted for a moment, wondering what this mirror actually is…
Caressing it, Barton smiled, "it's been a long time, old friend."
All of a sudden, the mirror started to tremble and a bald human-looking person with a tiny ponytail appeared on the mirror. He doesn't look pleased, at the moment.
A scoff escaped from this stranger as he replied, "I hope you don't wake me up for a stupid chat."
Pouring his soul energy into it, Barton said, "I need your help."
"You know the rules." The stranger spoke with a frown.
Barton nodded, "four weeks of longevity per one second. I know. Deal…"
"Very well…" As a deal has been made, suddenly, his bright blue-colored energy that enveloped the mirror turned into dark.
A thick smoke gushed out of the mirror.
Looking at it, Timothy and others felt something wrong and they sped up. Just as they almost neared Barton, the smoke turned into a twenty feet giant muscular man with only the upper part being human and the lower part being composed of nothing but smoke. Barton summoned his storage card and put the mirror inside just in case.
"What kind of creature is that?" Barbara exclaimed in surprise as Affea reached them and reunited with Azzy. The latter also couldn't help but look at the half-human and half-smoke creature in surprise.
"Didn't this look like a live version of Genie?" Once again, it led him down to a memory lane of a cartoon, "Although it doesn't look blue in real life and there's a mirror instead of a lamp." He added as an afterthought.
His mind wandered off for a moment, thinking of the possibility where the filmmakers just created the animated series based on these people. After all, he grew up in the Southern Qudour. So, in his view, it looked completely possible for an animated series developed in the northern nation and telecasted in both of the countries.
Meanwhile, the Reaper who was watching it in silence mumbled to himself, "This kid's master acquired a wonderful yet troublesome creature born from cosmos. I don't know whether I should call him lucky or unlucky."
Just then the Vice-principal opened her mouth and answered Barbara, "The Djinn."
"Djinn?" The others looked at her, some in confusion. Even Affea never heard of such a word. While Leah is busy talking to her sword spirit to know more about the Djinn, Syllia thought, "no wonder I thought it looked familiar."
Sahara continued with her explanation, "Djinn are the lesser cosmic entities created during the creation of the universe. However, the drawback of them is that they are too innocent like kids. They can't tell the difference between good and evil.
They only know one thing, which is to follow their desires. And that brought unrest within the Celestial world. It forced the King of Heavens to banish these spirits from the realm.
His actions didn't sit well with the Djinns. Since they aren't powerful enough to face gods, they started to wreak havoc in different mortal worlds.
As a punishment, the Gods sent their mortal subordinates or in our terms, the demigods, to seal them in magical objects and dispersed those objects across the universe.
Those who found it and release the spirit from those objects will become their masters for a lifetime. However, these new masters will also become cursed as the Gods don't want any mortal to possess them."
"Cursed?" Everyone looked at her, hoping for more explanation but the fall of the Royal Ancestor made everyone turn their attention on the battlefield.
In one area nearby the south pavilion, there's an intense battle going on between thirteen Robots and forty-nine Arcana Masters. Some are losing and some appeared to be winning. There are still ten Robots on standby for some unknown reason.
In another part of the battlefield, mainly, in the center, the Royal Ancestor was bleeding to death and the Giant Stingray gets there for the rescue.
At the northeast corner, upon receiving the order, the Djinn dashed forward at an unimaginable speed and throw a solid punch at the four of them. They didn't even get the chance to react before all of them flew over the wall and crash at someplace. Azzy could no longer see them.
Aegis was also satisfied with how they completely annihilated the enemy. "Good, now it's my turn."
Pointing the gun at the stingray that swallowed its master to heal him with its saliva, Aegis poured all of his soul energy into the weapon, "Full charge."
A powerful beam of dark energy blasted from his gun that contains the power to wipe them out.
However, just then, a light beam descended from the sky even faster than his full charge beam.
The Pillar of light that covered the giant stingray blocked the energy beam but was destroyed like glass as a result. Still, it managed to protect the person inside of it.
Aegis raised his head. The spectators also did the same.
Everyone saw a man, flapping his pure white wings while glaring at Aegis coldly.
He was wearing a black plush hat and a scarlet cassock, quite different from other clergymen.
In his hands, there was a lance brimming in golden energy.
"A cardinal?" Aegis' face turned ugly all of a sudden.
