Chapter 997- Hidden Quest (5)
The spectre's energy rose to such a level that it was impossible to stop it in time. The ballooning energy reached a critical level, ready to detonate.
However, the explosion never came. Instead, the grotesque spectre floundered around, its energy rising and falling erratically without any apparent cause.
"What's going on?" Vincent muttered, lowering his blade slightly.
"It's not detonating... but why?" Itherion's eyes narrowed in confusion, observing the creature's erratic behaviour.
"Does it not want to detonate? Or maybe it can't?" His eyes followed the direction the spectre was facing and a chilling realisation dawned in his mind.
The next second though, he quickly discarded the thought thinking that it was impossible.
"It doesn't matter why the Spectre isn't detonating. This is our chance. Vincent align your Ancient Symbol with mine. The amount of energy that thing has absorbed is tremendous, we cannot approach it without caution. We will first trap the spectre within the ancient symbols before dealing with it".
Vincent nodded his head onboard with the strategy. The next second the two warriors split. Itherion stood a couple of meters away in front of the spectre while Vincent appeared behind it.
Both of them as if in perfect sync, clasped their hands in prayer. Gold and Silver light burst forth, its radiance so dazzling that it even pushed away the Wailing Energy.
An ancient pressure that was impossible to resist descended onto the place along with two glowing objects. Both objects appeared to be circular in shape with numerous rings of halos around them.
There was also some kind of rune rotating in the middle of the halos but it was impossible to make out. Both objects shone with pure gold and silver light respectively.
He could command the energy to do anything he wished to as if he was the supreme ruler and everything was beneath him.
Wasting no time, he did as his guts told him and voilà he snatched all control from the spectre rendering it into a state where it was unable to detonate.
If Simon wanted to, he could even undo the formation; however, that would be too conspicuous as the spectre was still alive. As such, he left it at just stopping the spectre.
"This... feels like the time when I came in contact with the curse energy. At that time too, I was immune to the effects of the curse energy and could control it any way I wanted for some reason"
Curse energy... Wailing Energy... What was the relation between these two? Why was he able to control them?
Simon decided to think over it later and focus on the situation at hand. Now that the spectre was captured, it was over right?
"Give up, no one can escape from the binding of two ancient symbols" Itherion declared allofly. He put down his weapon and got closer to the spectre who was encaged within a golden-silven barrier.
"Now then, tell us who; no, what are you? Why are you so hell bent on having the humans and demons kill each other? What are you plotting?"
Being as intuitive as he was Itherion still remembered the words that the spectre said when it first appeared.
[Humans and demons... working together? What kind of disgusting abomination is this? The only thing you need to do is fight each other and cause chaos in the world. Hmph. I thought our plan was working perfectly, but then I see this—this mockery]
"What did you mean by your plan? What kind of plot are you cooking?"
[Kfufufu.. you low class creatures you don't even realise what you have done huh. Kfufufu... do you really think I will tell you anything? Your fate is to die like ants just like how it should be.]
The spectre's words rubbed Vincent the wrong way and he used his Ancient Symbol to make the cage even smaller.
