Chapter 214: Temporal Hell  

" Hurry up! If you don't give us the treasure quickly, I will increase your pain intensity. I know you are feeling it despite that fake facade of calmness on your face. "

Eleknie sneered as she did increase the intensity of the black devouring flames.

Athan, who was inside the Hexa prism, smiled, " Alright. I will give you the treasure. "

He then took out the Ark as it appeared on his palm.

Eleknie looked at the Ark and was surprised and doubtful. She couldn't sense any particular energy or power from this thing, ' Is it really that treasure? '

" This is the treasure that gave me those unique powers. You want it, Right? Then...I'll give it to you now. "

Athan then started walking forward. In the first step, The chains around his body loosed and fell as if they lost the target, and in the next four steps, he came out from the Hexa prism.

" Y-y-you..." Eleknie and others were dumbfounded as if they had seen a ghost. But they were not mistaken. Athan really did step out from the Hexa prism that trapped him like it was a piece of cake.

He then disappeared and directly appeared in front of her and stretched his right hand forward where the Ark was floating on his palm, " Here...You want this treasure, right? "

Eleknie was scared shitless and was unable to speak. What she just witnessed indicated that...she was doomed. Her danger rings were constantly ringing as soon as Athan came out from her Purgatory Darkness Seal.

On the other hand, Her four teammates...turned their back instantly, preparing to run.

But when they saw the people behind them, They were shocked and bewildered.

Avelia and another Athan were standing together. Avelia was also confused as she still didn't know who was the real Athan.

After all, The Athan that was trapped inside the Hexa prism did take out the Ark.

" What's going on, Athan? " She asked the Athan who was beside her.

Athan smiled and said, " This is the newest magic that I got, and I also comprehended a Rule power related to it. I'll tell you in detail later. For now, Let's finish the business here. "

Saying this, Athan snapped his finger, and the four people froze. No matter how much they tried to resist, They couldn't remove themselves from their strange frozen state.

Eleknie also noticed something and became even more desperate when she saw the second Athan as despair was apparent in her eyes, ' What kind of monster did I try to capture? He seems to have mastered high-grade magic even more powerful than mine and also a Rule power related to it...But how? and why he didn't use this power when fighting that monster? '

There was one possibility to this, but she didn't want to believe in it. There was no way that he could've learned all of this in days.

Athan put the Ark back into his soul realm and...disappeared.

Avelia was dumbfounded and asked the Athan beside him, " If you are not a clone, then why did he have the Ark? "

" Actually.....Both are real. I am also real, and he was also real in Athan. "

" Lord Athan. I can do anything and give you anything you want as long as you spare me. "

Eleknie kneeled while floating and spoke in a desperate voice. She knew that the only way to live was to beg for her life.

Athan raised his eyes and swept his gaze across her body, " You are indeed beautiful despite not being human. Those sexy proportions...Tsk. "

Eleknie lit up a spark of hope inside her.

Avelia was wide-eyed hearing this, but what Athan said next made her chuckle.

" But...your face is so ugly that I feel like puking. So...no thanks. "

Eleknie felt burning shame because the face was the most beautiful part of her.

But she wanted to live, so she didn't say anything and took out whatever items she had from her inner space and gave it to Athan as they floated towards him.

Right after that, She actually started to undress herself.

" Stop, stop...Are you mad? Obviously, I was lying about your body. My wives are countless times more beautiful than you. "

Eleknie stopped halfway as she felt her losing control over her as she snapped and without hesitating, She directly attacked Athan with everything she got.

" DIEEE!...."

A condensed and powerful mass of a red beam shot towards Athan. This red beam had countless sparky dark spots inside it.

magic Athan shook his head, and with a thought, The space in front of him seemed to have cut off as the terrifying spell released by Eleknie disappeared.

" Jigen cut..."

After that, Athan stretched his hand and pointed his finger in front of Eleknie before muttering, " Jigen release..."

Right after that, The attack that Eleknie released towards Athan once again appeared but this time, she was the target.

Eleknie tried to control it, thinking that she could do it since she was the one who released the attack but soon found out that she couldn't connect to her own spell.

" Aaaaaaahhhh...." A hole formed in her abdomen, and her body started to bleed and rot due to her own attack. After all, She didn't hold back at all when releasing her ability.

Seeing this, Athan's eyes turned cold as he used a spell of Jigen magic of Time-Space, " Temporal Hell. "

A white ray released from his finger, which directly hit the forehead of Eleknie, and the space around her also turned a bit strange.

Jigen cut, and Jigen release were not the spells from the magic but the powers of his new Rule domain that he comprehended. He was absorbed in comprehending his Rule domain right after he was finished with his new Rule power.

And this Temporal Hell...was one of the spells of his Jigen magic of Time-Space.

He could come out from the Purgatory Darkness Seal due to one of the other spells from his new magic, Known as Phase Transfer.

Avelia, who was watching Eleknie hit by her own ability, was currently a bit shocked by Athan's display of new abilities.

Eleknie was currently regretting even being born. She could not handle her current hellish situation.

Her thoughts and her entire being had currently slowed down. The pain of one second seemed to last for eternity.

The hole in her abdomen and the bleed and rot that was expanding was in a loop.

They would expand for a few seconds, and after that, they would recover back to their previous state...as if the time was reversed for her.

In this strange process, her soul was also painfully losing its source power.

In this Temporal Hell, Her soul source was being extracted out to fuel her own suffering.

She can't die or do anything to stop her current situation as she would only suffer in this state of seemingly eternal pain until her soul was extinguished.

On the scale of painfulness, The purgatory Darkness Seal was actually more painful.

Temporal Hell was simply used to trap the target in a hell where time has seemingly stopped. If they decided to do any act in this state, Then it would take years for them. Meanwhile, Their opponent could do anything to them. Kill, Torture, or even take things out of their inner space.

In this state, Any kind of pain, be it soul attack, internal attack, or external attack, would last for eternity for them.

There were ways to escape from this magic spell but too bad...Eleknie was not capable of that.
