One-Eyed Monster
Chapter 1371 - 1368: Flames!
Kadi and Igor currently have no other options, and this passive situation has instead made them feel surprisingly relaxed.
Because there is nothing to worry about anymore.
Worrying won't change a thing.
Instead of being cautious, it's better to let go and dive in headfirst.
However, this is just what Igor and Kadi are thinking; they're seeking a sense of relief. This way of thinking may relieve their current anxiety, but it doesn't solve the immediate predicament. Compared to Xiso, they feel inadequate. Every decision Xiso makes considers all aspects; he will never act impulsively. Even when things involve Bigas, he won't make a hasty decision because he knows that every decision he makes affects the whole situation. That's precisely why he has Igor stop Kadi, and why at this moment, he wants Igor and Kadi to stop Xiso.
Although these two tasks seem contradictory, this is Xiso's decision, because he knows that once Kuyi Tulan is released, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xiso can also sense a great battle taking place outside, with the Alchemy Workshop people engaged in a prolonged struggle with the Kangen Family. Although Xiso doesn't know these outside people are the Kangen Family, he knows that once Kuyi Tulan is freed, those people will suffer.
They must hold back Kuyi Tulan to lessen the damage, even though delaying him will also bring them a severe blow.
This is a matter of give-and-take, and in matters of give-and-take, Xiso has always been selfless...
So this is how the current scene unfolded.
Xiso feels a bit guilty towards Igor and Kadi. This battle was supposed to be his, yet now these two youths are involved, making him feel uneasy.
Xiso struggles to stand, wanting to say a few words of apology to Igor and Kadi, but it's extremely hard for him to speak now...
"There's no need to say anything, Xiso!" Igor and Kadi also noticed Xiso's change. Xiso's struggling body clearly indicated he wanted to express something that they evidently understood when they saw it.
But they've long put their personal safety aside; they are merely there to save Xiso.
Only with Xiso's safe exit does the entire Empire, and humanity, have hope.
Regardless of whether this assumption holds true, they have to try. Even if the enemy is strong, they must fight to the death; that's their nature, and that's their choice!
Xiso is deeply moved by Igor and Kadi's actions.
"No matter what, we have to fight Kuyi Tulan." Igor drew his Meteor Sword.
Kuyi Tulan watched with interest. Originally planning to leave, he paused at this scene, not because he feared these two youths but because he saw them as possessing fine Spirit Cores, excellent vessels for Spirit Cores.
"I can't worry about so much. Even with limited energy, I have to give it a shot." The Butterfly Blades in Kadi's hands whirled fiercely!
"Your courage is commendable, but using Spirit Power will only put you at a disadvantage..." Before Kuyi Tulan could finish his sentence, Kadi's twin blades came crashing down, flames bursting into the previously quiet, enclosed chamber.
Igor followed closely, and their teamwork reached such a degree that they no longer needed verbal communication.
The energy in the chamber was gradually depleting, seemingly being absorbed by a massive container.
The flames on Kadi's body flickered on and off, appearing hesitant in the current situation, unable to decide whether to emerge or remain hidden, embodying a paradoxical nature.
During the attack, Igor kept observing because he suspected that Kuyi Tulan's formidable presence harbored something fishy. For so long, he hadn't seen Kuyi Tulan make the first move, nor had he seen him use vast amounts of Spirit Power. According to his previous explanation, this area wasn't suitable for using Spirit Power in battle.
Indeed, after a couple of moves, Igor and Kadi felt the strain, with the pressure of diminishing energy gradually manifesting in their bodies. This oppressive sensation could drive them to collapse, but the breakdown affects only their Spirit Power, not their unwavering determination.
Like Xiso, they would never easily surrender to Kuyi Tulan.
The blood flowing in their veins fuels their continual resistance until their last breath, refusing to give in easily.
Igor and Kadi aren't reckless brutes; they remained vigilant with their energy use in this situation where nothing could stop Kuyi Tulan's madness.
Yet Kuyi Tulan still didn't choose to launch an attack. Instead, he stood there, overflowing with glee as if everything was already in the bag.
But the observant Igor noticed a peculiar fact—intentionally or not, Kuyi Tulan kept releasing those fragments, fragments seemingly capable of suppressing flames.
Flammable materials!
Igor suddenly recalled the purpose of those fragments.
Devouring Power is flame; energy clashes are flame, and such flame-extinguishing things naturally possess immense power.
Moreover, Igor realized that Devouring Power requires little energy to maintain.
"Kadi!" Igor abruptly thought of a countermeasure and informed Kadi without delay.
Upon understanding, Kadi immediately retreated to Igor's side, knowing that they needed communication at this moment.
Kuyi Tulan still watched the pair with interest, curious about what antics these two would conjure.
After hearing Igor's plan, Kadi suddenly looked up at Kuyi Tulan, then retracted his Butterfly Blades and spread his hands, blue flames fluttering in his palms.
"Hmm?" Kuyi Tulan noticed a hint of change, startled by Kadi's actions.
"Die!" Kadi fiercely flicked his hands, launching the flames like twin Fire Dragons directly at Kuyi Tulan.
"Ah!" Kuyi Tulan rapidly reacted, never expecting such decisiveness from Kadi.
Not just Kadi, but Igor also constantly attempted energy clashes. Despite the limited energy here, forming flames was more than sufficient...
