Chapter 52: C52 Another Encounter

Allen was staring at the sky with nostalgia in his eyes. He missed the view of the world from above.

But, all of a sudden, as he was thinking of the bright sky, the clouds unnaturally rolled and brought darkness to the world beneath it. 

Then, Allen's connection with the aura of life of this world was extinguished and his divine marks connected to him.

Allen felt a thick demonic aura that seemed to suffocate him. His divine energy churned due to the counter devouring of the demonic energy. And, the divine energy that he had collected began to diminish.

Thomas, along with Drew, noticed the 'strange' phenomenon and his heart pounded as he felt that his Lord's presence seemed to be overwhelmed by the darkness that was in the sky.

But then, Thomas felt a sudden burst of divine energy as Allen did not hesitate to use a vast amount of divine energy to fight back.

Then, with the supply of divine energy from the divine marks that were connected to him, Allen summoned the eyes of the spirits and turned them into nodes as he planned to create a divine formation.

As if he was dancing, Allen was doing a set of hand seals along with seemingly simple foot works. 

Thomas watched Allen with gleaming light in his eyes as if he was watching the finest dancer that has ever existed. 

Every one of Allen's moves looked flawless and easy. But, Thomas could not be fooled as he knew that it was very complicated.

And, in coordination with Allen's movements, lines would be formed that would connect the nodes. And, as that happens, the formation would further take form and would somewhat ease the pressure that they bear.

Then, after a few more motions, Allen muttered, "Death's Protection," as the formation was completed. 

The completion of the formation created a barrier that isolated Allen from the outside world. For some reason, Thomas' senses were telling him that this was a new world. But he knew that it wasn't as he saw what Allen, his Lord, did.

The Death's Protection is based on the death part of Allen's authority. It uses the concept of death. 

The formation would suck all forms of energy that sustains life in the surrounding. Then, it uses that energy to sustain the formation and offer protection in the form of a barrier.

The barrier is akin to a half of a sphere with a radius of twenty meters, which seemed to be isolated from the world in some way.

As Death's Protection sucks energy from the surrounding, the surrounding becomes more and more desolate as time passes by. 

The trees dried and the lush grasses turned brown as they wither. The fertile soil became barren and was incapable of producing nor sustaining life.

Death's Protection seemed to revert the effect of natural energy to the wilderness. But despite that, the inside of the barrier seemed to be unaffected as Death's Protection provides an isolation effect.

Meanwhile, Allen who was supposed to be comfy inside the barrier was not relaxing. Instead, he was doing another set of hand seals for he knew that the Death's Protection cannot be sustained as the energy from the surrounding was starting to deplete.

Four pointed pillars sprouted from the ground as they gathered energy from Allen for an attack.

After a few moments, the pillars shoot beams as they finish gathering energy. The beams soar through to the sky and hit the source of its darkness, the cloud, or rather, the demonic clouds.

But the beams seemed to be a stone that was thrown in the lake. Although it caused a ripple, the ripple disappeared after a brief moment and the lake went back to normal.

"Tsk."

Allen clicked his tongue as he saw it. Deep inside, although he looked calm, he was worried. He was running out of ideas or rather, he had ways to survive but his divine energy restricts him as it was too few to make grand actions.

"My Lord, how could we be of any help to you?"

Thomas asked as he was kneeling with Drew by his side. They were not fools not to nice the predicament of their Lord but they did not know how to help Allen. After all, the ways of a divine are different from the ways of a mortal like them.

Allen looked at them and his heart was touched as he noticed their devotion. Even though he showed weakness in front of them, Thomas and Drew's faith did not seem to waver. Instead, they showed a determination to help him from his predicament.

Allen smiled and said, "the faith energy could somewhat resist the demonic energy."

Allen did not explain what he meant, but Thomas and Drew knew what to do. They channeled their faith energy from the seed of faithfulness as they separately did a series of hand seals.

Drew's set of hand seals is specially chosen for him to augment his ability to control the wood. The seal that he chose is called the Druid's Call.

The Druid's Call could be used to grow trees and tame animals. And in this case, Drew used the Druid's Call to grow trees in the surroundings.

Meanwhile, Thomas' set of hand seals are contrary to Drew's. His hand seals were called the Dark Hand.

The Dark Hand is somewhat akin to Death's Protection, the only difference is that the Dark Hand did not offer protection. 

Instead, it only amplifies the darkness and sucks the life-related energies in the surroundings. But Thomas could not use those energies as they would be scattered back to the surroundings.

First, Drew enhances the life-related energies in the surroundings. Then, Thomas scattered them. And finally, those energies would be sucked by the formation.

Allen's eyes widened as he did not think of it. He could not help but praise them inwardly. He nodded, then, he did a series of hand seals and helped the two.

But unlike Thomas and Drew's, Allen's Hand seals does both, it enhances the life-related energies, then scatters them and lets the formation suck them.

Moreover, Allen's hand seals seemed to be more effective and more profound, and unlike the two, Allen's is supported by divine energy.

But in any case, it could not be denied that he was thankful to the two of them.

He was glad that he had the two of them beside him.
