The Story Never Ends

The Pope transformed in the blink of an eye similar to the Sect Master of the Blood and Saber Sect. Yet, he didn't enlarge and rather had a perfect transformation unlike him. His whole skin became black in color and a new set of muscles had been formed. 

These muscles were densely packed together to form a streamlined and balanced body. With the pair of horns and wings protruding from his body, he seemed to be a pure devil from the Devil World.

"Amazing." Davion was surprised as he still remembered how the Sect Master of the Blood and Saber Sect looked. 

"But his aura is still weaker than him. This might be due to the fact that the Devil Essence inside him should be from someone far weaker than Conard." Davion thought and looked at the projection behind him.

The reason why he came here despite the fact that someone above the Golden Core Stage was present was that he found that this guy paled in comparison to Conard. 

He was using his dark energy to hide but the moment he saw his projection, he wanted to run away. However, feeling that his aura was not so powerful he chose to stay here as there was nothing for him to fear. Not only that, he even desired to battle against him.

"Damn, how dare you ignore me?" Seeing that Davion's attention was not him, the Pope cursed in anger.

"Oh!" Davion exclaimed and asked, "How did you become so perfect? The last time I saw someone transforming, he changed into a half-devil and a half-human."

"What?" The Pope was astonished when he found that the person infront of him had already met someone like him. The same goes for the Lord.

"Whose seed did he meet?" The Lord pondered. If he knew that he had met with the seed of Conard and managed to escape then he would have immediately run away from here.

"Why are you so surprised? Not only did I meet with him, I even killed him. So, you should know what I'm here for," Davion smiled as he took out his halberd.

"You.." The Pope panicked and beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead as he didn't feel confident now. But thinking about the Lord backing him, he spoke with courage, "Humph, don't think that I'm the same as him. I have taken the devil's essence since I was a child. Thus, I have better potential and I'm far stronger." 

"Is that so? But why do I feel that you are far weaker than him?" Davion scoffed.

"It's enough." The Pope couldn't take it anymore and used his wings to fly in the air.

"Enlarge." He said and the staff in his hand became bigger like the previous bell. Then he dived down in the direction of Davion and smashed it with all his strength.

"Good strength." Davion complimented him and finally released his aura.

"Thunder Blood Churning"

A red and blue-colored aura came out of his body. This aura was so strong that the air around him started to distort. It seemed as if his aura had already reached beyond the Golden Core Stage.

"Who is he? Even though he hasn't reached the Nascent Soul Stage, this aura is too terrifying. I thought that he might be from the Sect coming here to rescue me but I don't know anybody being this strong." The disciple on the ground was astonished.

The Pope also felt the same. He wanted to back away after feeling this aura as it was not something he could handle. However, it was too late.

Davion jumped in the air and used the second move of the Blood Saber Art. The halberd collided with the staff and an explosion took place.

"Bang"

The Pope was immediately flung away like a cannonball towards the altar. He couldn't even withstand a second as the lightning energy was far too destructive.

Seeing that the Pope would destroy the altar if this continued, the Lord made his move. He pointed his index finger towards him and he immediately paused a few centimeters ahead of him.

"Lord, please save me…" the Pope muttered with great difficulty as his body had already become numb. His whole body had been scorched by lightning and thus blood was spilling everywhere. It appeared that he would die if he was left untreated.

"Trash," The Lord said with disdain. Then he snapped his head and threw him to the ground.

"No, not again," Davion felt a pain in his chest as he again missed the experience points like previously.

"Who are you?" The Lord finally asked him. He was really impressed by how strong he was.

"Davion, an inner court disciple from the Thunderbolt Sect." Davion forgot about that incident and slowly approached the altar with a solemn look on his face. He knew that this Lord was on a totally next level when compared to the Pope. Although he was only with his projection.

"Senior Brother, so it is really you?" The disciple who had been on the ground stood up and hurried towards him. He had become lively in an instant.

"Oh! Are you that missing disciple?" Davion exclaimed.

"Yes, Senior Brother." He replied and bowed his head. Even though he didn't recognize him, he still showed his respects.

"Ok, you can leave now," Davion ordered.

"Eh! Senior Brother, won't you leave with me?" The disciple didn't understand what his Senior Brother wanted here. Since he had already been rescued, they should take this chance and immediately escape from here as the Lord was still not attacking them. Although he knew that his Senior Brother was strong, defeating that Lord was almost impossible. So, they should take this chance and escape.

"No. How could I let these children stay here? I need to save them." Davion righteously said.

"What? Senior Brother, have you lost your mind? The Lord will definitely stop you if you try to save them. He is someone above the Golden Core Stage and thus you might even loose your life here." The disciple was panicking inside thinking about this. Especially, he didn't want to die here with his Senior Brother.

"Haha, well said young man. It seems like you are quite smart. Just because he beat my seed, did he think that he would be able to beat me too? Or does he believe that I would let him take away these children easily after knowing that you guys are from the Thunderbolt Sect?" The Lord laughed.

Davion didn't reply to him but rather patted the shoulder of the disciple and said, "Run. I will only leave after I save these children. Even if I die over here."

"Senior Brother!" He wanted to persuade him but seeing his resolute face, he didn't say anything more. 

He ran towards the exit and yelled, "Make sure you return, Senior Brother."

Tears fell from his eyes as he couldn't believe that his Senior Brother was so righteous.

"Humph, did I give you my permission to leave?" A cold voice rang in his ears.

So, he looked back and saw that the Lord had pointed his index finger towards him. From his fingertip, a black-colored ray of light came in his direction.

"Senior.." he couldn't even ask for help as he suddenly felt a great pain in his chest. Even though the ray of light was still some distance away from him, he already felt that he was about to die. He finally experienced the terror of the Soul Qi. He had only read about it in the library and thus had never seen it. But now, he saw it with his own eyes.

"Run…" Davion yelled and came ahead of him in the blink of an eye. Then he kicked him with his right leg. As a result, the disciple was immediately hurled outside the chamber.

Davion sighed in relief when he saw that he managed to save him. However, the ray of light had already neared him.

"It's time to go all out." Davion thought and used the final move of the Blood Saber Art.

The blue and red colored aura coming out of his body converged in his halberd and he swung it with all his force. He didn't hold back this time.

"BOOOOM"

This time the explosion was so huge that the whole underground basement exploded. All the chambers here got destroyed and a big hole was formed above. Thus, when you looked above, the whole ceiling of the cathedral hall could be seen.

It seemed as if the whole floor of the hall had fallen down. As for that Altar, it had long been destroyed. The only thing remaining was that strange orb. As for the children and Davion, they had been buried in the ground by the things falling from above. 

***

"Damn, what the fuck happened?"

  The disciple had just escaped alive and reached the platform in the Cathedral Hall when he suddenly heard a big explosion.

So, he had a bad premonition and ran with everything he got. Due to this, he managed to protect himself from the explosion. The moment he reached the exit, he saw how the whole underground and the floor of the hall being razed to the ground. This made his mouth wide open.

Then he looked below the hole and yelled, "Senior Brother!"
