Chapter 1024:- Three Seconds to Save a Life |
Aditya teleported right before him and punched him with every ounce of strength he had in his body.
At his command, a massive magic circle spread across the battlefield, expanding to nearly 1,000 meters ( 0.62 miles) in diameter. Aditya stood calmly at its very centre as thousands of figures began to emerge from within its glowing patterns, their presence filling the entire area in an instant.
"At this point, you are just embarrassing yourself."
Aditya found himself surrounded by thousands of undead skeleton monsters. Each of these undead skeleton monsters had the strength to kill a 5th-order cultivator. But to the current Aditya, these undead skeletons were nothing but useless distractions to buy Carrick a few seconds at most.
"What are these low-ranking, stupid, undead monsters supposed to do to me? They can try the whole day, but they still won’t be able to land a single attack on me."
"Stop with your stupid pranks and just come out of the shadows."
"You bastard!" By this point, Carrick was furious. To think this useless nobody was mocking him and even comparing him to his brother and calling him number two. .
Carrick came out of the shadow charged straight at Aditya. From the beginning, he is the one who is trying to get into Aditya’s head and make him lose control. But it was he who was losing his calm and allowing Aditya to get into his head.
Aditya dodged the attack with a mini teleportation and appeared behind him, and tried to end the fight early, but a dark purple magic circle appeared beneath him. At the centre of the circle, there was a giant Dragon skull.
Horror of Death!!!!
The next second, Aditya’s movements froze. His hand stopped midair.
His eyes suddenly lost focus.
Seeing this, Carrick started laughing out loud.
"Did you really think I jumped out of the shadows without a plan?"
"Aditya.....!!!" The girls became worried.
"Rin, try to bring him to the spiritual world."
Athena immediately said.
Rin closed her eyes and tried to pull him to the Spiritual World, but unfortunately, it did not work.
"I can’t."
Rin sounded very frustrated.
"I have a plan. But I need all of us to act."
Athena had already foreseen. While a few seconds passed with Rin trying to get Aditya into the spiritual world, she was already thinking about how to free Aditya.
"Now, time to end you."
Carrick grabbed Aditya by his throat. He was about to crush his throat when he saw a firefly fly towards his face from his shoulder.
"What’s this?" Seeing the innocent, tiny firefly, Carrick stopped for a second. Even he couldn’t remember the last time he saw fireflies.
’I remember. The last time I saw fireflies was when I was with mom.’ It was as if one single firefly had triggered countless fond memories in his mind.
While he was thinking about the past while staring at a single firefly, he failed to notice when countless fireflies surrounded him from all sides. There were so many fireflies that they created a round wall around him.
By the time he realised that there was more than a single firefly, it was already too late.
The fireflies emitted a very strong, bright flash of light. Carrick had to cover his face, especially his eyes, with his palms because he felt like he was standing in front of the sun itself.
The moment Carrick closed his eyes, he felt someone pulling his mind.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself floating in a dark, endless space.
"Where the fuck am I?" He screamed out loud. But the space remained the same. He heard nothing except for his own voice, which did not even echo.
"Athena, I can’t hold him long," Rin replied with her eyes closed. Against their wishes, holding a higher order cultivator within the Spiritual world put a lot of strain on her brain.

Meanwhile, Athena pressed her forehead against his forehead.
By now, Aditya had broken into a cold sweat. His face looked pale.
Horror of Death was a special innate skill that Carrick possessed. It was especially effective against lower-order cultivators. Aditya might have raised his stats to match the base stats of a Beginner 7th-order, but his mind, spirit, and soul were still the same. This is why this skill was so effective against him.
The worst part was that this skill can drain the life force of the target while continuously showing the target’s worst fears and nightmares. Eventually, when the target dies, he is completely broken.
As the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena had the power to pull Aditya out of his nightmare. Just 3 seconds of contact was necessary as this spell was cast by a High Order cultivator. Otherwise, just a single touch or a single firefly from her would have been enough.
Meanwhile, Carrick unleashed his full Aura within the spiritual world. Although Rin could bring people to the spiritual world, she could not suppress the power of higher-order cultivators. And when a higher order cultivator unleashed his full Aura, it just became impossible to contain that person in the spiritual world beyond a few seconds. And it was impossible for her to pull anyone above the mid-7th-order to the spiritual world. Because of these reasons, she could not bring Aditya’s grandfather, Boris, into the spiritual world.
"Fuck offfffffff!!!!!" With a roar, Carrick shattered the spiritual world.
This caused Rin to cough up blood and fall to her knees.
The moment he opened his eyes and saw the goddess of wisdom pressing her forehead against Aditya, he understood what she was trying to do.
"Die with him."
He aimed for a vicious cold strike at her nape from behind.
