3 Colorful Seeds Tainted By Darkness (3—Last Part)

Heian Ciemnosc watched Landa hurry towards him with all the ferocity in the world. She ignored any missiles flying 100 meters towards her and directly headed towards him. The other 2 were clearly slower than her, but they would still arrive before Heian Ciemnosc in a matter of seconds. Heian Ciemnosc grabbed his Vocón Link with his right hand and slightly slapped the space behind him with his dark tail before throwing his body forwards.

BOOOM! BANG~!!

Heian Ciemnosc’s body rapidly appeared before Landa. Her eyes initially widened in surprise but instantly recovered as she bathed her right hand in violet lightning, forming a robust, thick claw of her own. She thrust her right arm at Heian Ciemnosc at an impressively impossible speed.

Heian Ciemnosc’s body had gained enough momentum thanks to his dark tail. Just as he was about to meet her lightning claw with his open left dark claw, he swung his dark whip behind her and struck towards the young Demon and Merfolk. In just a moment, their claws hit. Heian Ciemnosc felt his body shudder in mighty energy and Lightning element as he was immediately hurt, and the brand-new injuries only worsened with every passing half second.

On the other hand, Landa’s right shoulder blade twisted, and the top of it backed away as Heian Ciemnosc immediately gained terrain, pushing her arm backwards and forcefully bending her elbow. Landa wasn’t surprised, but the might the young black monster showed still made her feel heavy. Then, her eyes blasted with violet lightning as she heard the considerable explosive sound behind her.

SWIIIPP~!! Heian Ciemnosc retracted his right arm, his elbow bending with dark Neutral Energy around it. The sound of his Vocón Link traveling through space and forcefully grabbing the 2 young Chosens was audible, like the rest of their movements, but didn’t spread further than a couple dozen meters before becoming muffled. Only Landa’s sudden burst traveled way past that limit.

Landa reached for it with her left hand, immediately sending her violet lightning into it. The Vocón Link was bathed with Landa’s lightning. It was only a small portion near its base since she was close to Heian Ciemnosc. But after a second, and as it brought the 2 fellows with it, its entire body was rapidly engulfed in lightning snakes that coiled and bit at its body.

“?!” However, they did nothing to it, and Landa finally widened her eyes with tremendous shock! Heian Ciemnosc didn’t waste time and sent several Vocón Link sub-bodies to coil around Ernesto and Schlank. They immediately used their respective Elemental Energy to resist him.

“Leave them alone already!” Landa looked at Heian Ciemnosc while her arms circled to her sides in reverse clock motion. Her tone carried heavy murdering intent, and she was in all her reason to be so. Heian Ciemnosc looked at her as her palms became like vipers with a light violet glow forming their eyes.

The violet lightning vipers looked at Heian Ciemnosc as they lunged at him and viciously stabbed their fangs into his skin as they met his body. The clothes around his pectorals were blasted apart and immediately churned into nothingness as 4 bloody holes appeared in his pale skin. A third of his chest was revealed, but Heian Ciemnosc wasn’t letting his body be hit for no reason.

PSHIFFT- ZAP!! …! SWWUUOOOSHHHH~!!~!~...

Heian Ciemnosc’s body was hit, and his upper torso experienced blatant pain as violet Lightning Energy began tormenting him from within! It rapidly traveled about, failing to reach far inside his body since his dark Neutral Energy was fast to respond and eat everything away. But this violet lightning was nothing like the blue lightning, and it took a considerable time and reserves to eat it away. The damage they caused only overlapped as those fangs remained stabbed in his body.

On the other hand, Heian Ciemnosc’s Vocón Link and its respective sub-bodies immediately coiled around the young Chosens. They struggled and lost some hope when they saw Landa’s lightning stop before it reached and hurt them, too. Even then, they still struggled to rejoin the fight. Fire Energy and Earth Energy worked to deal with the dark whip around them, so strong not even Schlank could forcefully free himself from it.

Fire Energy only managed to heat the space between Ernesto’s body and the dark whip, while Earth Energy gradually broke apart as Schlank’s warm, light lime aura around him broke apart. Then, as the sub-bodies coiled around them, they were even more helpless, but their Elemental Energy alone started pushing everything away.

They looked at each other with bloodshot eyes, and their Elemental Energy rapidly moved to connect with each other. The Vocón Link became aware of this, and it consumed their Elemental Energy to utter relish, but it was too much and didn’t instantly dissolve and turned into Heian Ciemnosc’s dark Neutral Energy as pure energy does.

While the Vocón Link struggled to eat their Elemental Energy, their brightest red and warm lime auras spread further to each other, about to connect. But then, dark liquid that had flown out of Heian Ciemnosc’s pale right wrist finally extended towards them!

It suddenly soared in the air and gained 2 meters in height before turning into a wave and crashing down on them! The young Demon and Merfolk were stunned. Although the latter had to at least have some connection with the Water element, he was naturally different.

Not only was his Special Lotus Body the reason he was much different from other Merfolk, but his innate properties were unique, and he was a Mutated Beast with a different nature from its kin. Thus, he couldn’t do much other than do his best to resist with his Elemental counter to the Water element.

But Ernesto was different. Not only was his Fire Lotus Body weak against the Water element, but he was also connected to the warm, light lime aura from Schlank. It did not matter that Earth had resistance towards Water. The weakness Fire had towards it was much more formidable.

ZZZZZZAP!!!

Landa’s eyes were surprised again, while those 2 young Chosens were flabbergasted upon seeing the darkened Water wave. It was him! The young black monster was why their side fell into such a precarious situation! Indeed! However, there was no time to point fingers!

Landa’s body flashed, and in a sudden motion that dearly stunned Heian Ciemnosc, her hands left Heian Ciemnosc’s dark, bleeding chest before making a jumping motion. Her body turned into a diminutive violet ray of lightning that shot in the distance. It arrived at the 2 young Chosens within a moment, striking Heian Ciemnosc to the bone.

While the young black monster’s widened, Landa arrived behind the young Demon and Merfolk, floating above their shoulders as her feet landed on them. They rapidly formed an incantation with several hand gestures, and their respective Elemental Energy shuddered before forming a… tri-colored petal lotus facing the incoming darkened wave!

Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes trembled a little, and his body shuddered with danger as he saw the tri-colored petal lotus covered by an extra layer of violet Lightning Energy. It then lunged at his darkened wave. Only half a second passed since Landa arrived behind them, and their combined innate Supreme Art condensed before being launched forwards.

PPPFFFFFSSHHHHH~~! WOMP! FWUOO-GOOM-ZZZZ- WHOOOOOOSH~~!

The petal lotus rapidly crashed against the darkened wave, but the latter immediately evaporated, with only the rest of its body of water remaining, but it could hardly be called a puddle. Heian Ciemnosc felt strands of Spirit Sense and Soul fluctuations tickle his pale skin like tendrils, trying to know what he was, curious.

The dangerous presence coming from them and the petal lotus only increased after penetrating the darkened wave, pressuring Heian Ciemnosc. But he wouldn’t move away from a fight, much less one requiring him to go all out! This was just… what he needed!!

WAAA- …- …- …- PA- PAAH- PAAAAAAH~!!!

Heian Ciemnosc’s front was rapidly covered with a bright red at his forehead, warm lime on his face’s right side, and a violet glow on the rest of his face and body. The petal lotus’s tip was covered in 20% by Fire Energy, 10% in Earth Energy behind the former, and the rest was purely violet Lightning Energy.

It carried fluctuations outlining it like ethereal flames, bearing a strong vitality and with the occasional rapid motion or spark echoing within. Its speed was monumental, and it arrived before Heian Ciemnosc when he was still preparing his dark claws and brushing his Vocón Link before him, coiling it to form a protective wall before him.

Naturally, he was too slow. The tri-colored petal lotus smoothly passed in between before the dark whip could even coil for the first time, and the former met Heian Ciemnosc’s body head-on. Or it could be said that… Heian Ciemnosc’s defenseless front met the petal lotus head-on forcefully!

The noise it carried with it was void through space, but when it reached before Heian Ciemnosc, he barely heard the cracking of fire, a light hum, and the slight sizzling of lightning. The next thing his senses received was a shock that exploded with Fire Energy exploding on his body, striking him without momentum as his body was slowly blasted backwards.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Heian Ciemnosc struggled to open his eyes as he felt the Fire Energy, not the Fire Element, completely breaking apart a layer of his pale skin, powerfully invading his body with zeal. However, just as his darkest eyes opened, he was met with Earth Energy, which immediately felt like an unstoppable fist punching at him laterally.

Heian Ciemnosc’s bones hurt, and he gritted his teeth as his dark fangs finally showed. He rapidly tried to claw at the incoming Earth Energy, but it was far too on the upper hand. It ignored Heian Ciemnosc’s claws and stabs through it as it continued thrusting onto the young black monster.

The Earth Energy slowed and made anything in his body feel heavier, where even his organs felt like they’d fall off from his body even if there was no gravity. It wasn’t as blasting or powerful as the Fire Energy but left Heian Ciemnosc more vulnerable.

Then, when Heian Ciemnosc was just dearly suffering under this combined, innate, elemental Art, he saw a violet glow shine towards him. A strand of violet lightning suddenly streaked towards him and hit his glabella, but it failed to break apart his body as intended.

No matter how vulnerable Heian Ciemnosc was with Fire and Earth Energy in his body, working to mess his insides into gory messes, his bodily strength was something maybe not even Godly cultivators might compare to!!

But then! The violet lightning streak divided at the center, and another portion left the main body, targeting Heian Ciemnosc’s abdomen. Yet, it, too, failed to break him apart. Thus, the last petal lotus’s violet energy immediately burst forward like an ejection of storms into Heian Ciemnosc’s front. His darkened eyes calmly watched in all serenity as countless violet lightning streaks dashed towards him and clashed with his body in less than half a second.

The violet energy engulfed Heian Ciemnosc without a doubt. A violet cluster formed 20 meters around him as Landa and the other 2 looked with grave, hostile expressions.

BABABABABABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM~~~~!!!!!

“!!!?” The spaceships that were even hundreds of kilometers away looked towards them, nearly believing a Godly cultivator joined the fray with the blatantly loud noise arriving to them despite the distance between them. On the other hand, the Evergazing Existence’s trio watched without ripples in their eyes at the chain reactions of numerous smallish explosions within the now 100 meters in diameter violet cluster.

BAM BAAM BAM BAM BAM…!!!

‘!!!’ Within the violet cluster, Heian Ciemnosc’s body was already expelling dark blood every now and then as his body was affected by the explosions. He could barely see his body, but only because his dark blood was complicated to disintegrate, and it mainly remained on his body while the rest took a dozen extra explosions to dissipate.

His expression turned vicious, but he was also highly apprehensive. He couldn’t just come out of here if he didn’t use his other innate Divine Arts. But he didn’t want to, not yet, or else, with the trio’s cultivation base, he’d receive irreparable backlash!

Heian Ciemnosc’s body would immediately jolt and crash a few meters apart, immediately jolting with his limbs changing position just from the mere shockwaves after the explosions, only to fall to the next one without half a second to breathe. His body’s pale skin layered off every explosion, showing muscle and leaving him bare, with his poor dark coat notwithstanding the damage.

“... Do you think he’ll be heavily wounded?” Schlank asked as he still bled black blood from the center of his eyes and had to constantly blink to wash it down. Landa looked at him, and her hostile, cold crystal face became worried. “He definitely will. If not, we’ll ensure he is… but, Schlank, I’m sorry, I-”

“No, don’t. I know we 2 cannot face the young black monster alone. We were too careless…” Schlank said, grabbing Landa’s wrists that were about to cup his cheeks. They acted gently, and their eyes gazed into each other, silently conversing in the way only some can. They nodded slightly to each other for a few more seconds before returning their gaze to the violet cluster that had grown to over 500 meters in diameter.

Ernesto didn’t react as he remained with his arms crossed, vigilantly staring at the violet cluster as if he could see through it, but he could only follow the rapidly ringing explosions after they occurred. The trio waited as the explosions became less frequent, and their bodies tensed as this meant the near end of their combined Art.

“I’ll take a short distance. We should give Schlank a few more minutes to recuperate. It won’t be a problem with his Earth Lotus Body,” Ernesto said as he covered his forearms and shins with Fire Energy. His eyes flashed with lightning-like brightest, most spectacular red as he relaxed his limbs. Landa nodded, and her commanding voice echoed valiantly, “I’ll keep him close to me. Schlank, take Ernesto’s role for a few minutes, then take my place.”

Schlank nodded and flew backwards while still facing the violet cluster. Meanwhile, Landa floated closer to the violet cluster as her shoulders started showering a bit of… cloud? It was as if a storm was shyly peeking from within her body…

“!” Then, just as Ernesto moved forth as well and prepared to form a few whips and javelins of Fire Energy, his eyes widened when he saw dozens of smallish, dark tendrils and the dark whip lounge at Landa. “Watch out!”

“!!” But these weren’t trying to hurt her, and they rapidly formed a dark box around her instead, with the tendrils forming the sides while the dark whip kept it all together and coiled around it. At the same time, Ernesto shouted, and Landa exploded with violet Lightning Energy, already forming cracks and gaps from within the dark box. Ernesto’s fiery red and orange eyes stiffened.

‘Just burn!’ Heian Ciemnosc was inside the violet cluster that rapidly dissipated to reveal his nearly butt-naked figure as he stood afloat and covered his face with his pale left hand. His darkest eyes flashed with ordinary orange and yellow, and then, something clicked in Ernesto’s mind as he looked bewitched at Heian Ciemnosc.

‘!!!!!!’ Ernesto instinctively checked his inner universe and saw his flaming Soul suddenly sparkled by a similar yet contrasting set of colors. Ernesto watched as he felt irrefutable pain, and it made his senses bend, thwarted, and quake as he hurried to evaporate this little flame within his Soul. His sight became blurry, and he couldn’t see well the outside world other than a blurry shadow furiously speeding past him and in the direction Schlank went…

ZAP-BAAAANG-BOOM!!! “Schlank, he’s trying to finish the job! Run! He’s after you! RUN!!” Landa immediately broke free from the dark box made of the dark whip and its tendrils. However, as soon as she did, her feet were covered by the dark whip, and the tendrils coiled around her legs, passed around everywhere, and continued up her waist as their 160,000 kg of bodily strength rendered her unable to move a mere centimeter from her location!

She shouted to the top of her lungs, barely making Schlank react after Heian Ciemnosc broke away from the violet cluster with his 2 meter dark tail flapping behind him before turning stiff as he sped forth. Schlank’s eyes turned fearful, and he didn’t hesitate to spend a drop of blood essence before rushing 1,000 meters and continued fleeing.

PSHIFT~~~!!! WHOOOSHHH!!!- WHOOOOOSH~!!

Heian Ciemnosc’s expression remained subtle and expressionless as he chased after Schlank. His speed wasn’t as stupidly fast as when his dark tail was longer, but he was still constantly closing the distance within the passing tens of seconds. He could feel Landa was in the middle of freeing from his constraints, and he flapped his dark tail again.

PAH! WHOOOOSHH~~!! Heian Ciemnosc’s body closed towards Schlank, who fled to the left, according to the universal conveyance of the Existence’s advancing column. If this went on for half an hour or more, they would arrive at what was once the 3rd line battlefield.

PZZZZZZZAAAAAAAHHPP!! BANG! ZZZZ-KA CHAAAA~!!!

From behind, Landa finally broke from her restraints with a ginormous violet lightning strike ascending according to the general universal focus. She looked at Ernesto, who was like a statue, but her Soul reading told her he was under heavy pressure as he dealt with something in his inner universe.

Land didn’t waste more time after she confirmed Ernesto wasn’t in grave danger before staring in the direction Schlank and the young black monster was before using the raging lightning strike. When she touched it, she turned into Lightning Energy and controlled the several hundred meters lightning strike towards Heian Ciemnosc.

“Hm!” Heian Ciemnosc gruntled, and his Vocón Link reappeared on his darkened right palm as he shot it towards the fleeing Schlank, still fleeing a few hundred meters before him. Simultaneously, his grunt was heard by Landa, who insanely rapidly flashed to stop 200 meters behind him, but she traversed them in less than a second while the young black monster’s dark whip was just a couple feet from reaching Schlank!

“Face me!!” Landa ferociously shouted as her hand peeked out from the violet lightning strike’s tip, and her body rapidly showed as the lightning strike followed after her. But she was faster and impulsed herself by separating her body from it, which was still riddled with violet lightning.

“Okay,” Heian Ciemnosc calmly said, stopping chasing Schlank while the Vocón Link still went after him and impossibly rotated backwards. His face rapidly met with Landa’s, still a couple meters away from her. His sudden motions only surprised her, nothing more, but the young black monster’s reason to do so baffled her.

Thud! Heian Ciemnosc spread his arms and looked as Landa rapidly closed into him. He rotated his body to the right and low, avoiding an awkward coalition with his bare body and her face. Then, his arms grabbed her waist as his pale body dangled diagonally from her torso.

“This will only take a while,” he said with the lightest tones. His arms tightly hugged Landa’s waist, with his dark fangs stabbing her crystalline right thigh. Then, Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes rapidly turned wholly dark… they darkened.

Bowwbooumb!!

The dark dome appeared as Myriad Darkness Materialization appeared once again during the wart. But this time, it was anything unlike before. This time… it was an all-out Myriad Darkness Materialization with his 3,000,000 km Spirit Sense range.

‘This is… that dark dome again?!’ Landa’s last thoughts as the darkness seeped into her everything. Her senses were clouded, and even her inner voice was silenced. She only felt she moved at an impossible speed, more than she could ever accomplish, in 3 different directions. One was with the sensation that something else was dragged away with her body still in his arms before suddenly rushing elsewhere. Then, she felt her body moving in that direction as she no longer felt Heian Ciemnosc’s arms. She didn’t notice when he left her, but the dark dome disappeared once she did.

?!!!???” Landa’s eyes¡ constricted to a dot. She was in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by blackness. She instinctively looked somewhere, and her eyesight allowed her to see a few tiny glowing lights far in the distance.

“HEIAN CIEMNOOOOOOOSSCC!!! YOUNG BLACK MONSTER!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!” All that remained was her hoarse, raging scream crossing millions of kilometers as her violet lightning strike remained behind and exploded into a new violet cluster in the distance. Then, her voice dissipated from space, as it should.

…
