150 The Asura Bracelets
Jayden could only watch as the thing latching onto his arms and legs began to suck his blood and internal energy, its speed was so fast that Jayden was certain if nothing was done he would die after a single minute.
First, it absorbed the energy that Jayden had stored inside him earlier, and he finally understood why that face sent him into the forest, it was to provide a large amount of energy to the thing present in this space.
' It's impossible for me to lose, I just have to think of a way, Anna had told me there had to be a way. ' he thought.
At first, Jayden felt panicked as a large amount of energy was sucked out of his body, making him feel weak and a little dizzy. By now, it has already taken a third of the energy Jayden had sealed in his body, along with some from his energy core.
Jayden calmed himself down, he closed his eyes and went through all of his skills, trying to find a way to counter the attack. Then he remembered, ' Demonic Devouring arts, poison kills poison it would be the best way to stop it', he thought.
Instantly, Jayden activated the skill, the thing biting his body seemed stunned as the speed of its suction decreased by almost 80%.
' Yes, this is it. Now I'll just have to devour you. ' Jayden muttered to himself.
Using as much strength as he could muster, Jayden pushed the Devouring skill to the limit, finally, the cards had turned now it was Jayden who was taking energy from the creature.
*SCRIEEEEEEEK*
Jayden heard a painful cry, as his senses slowly began to return, the creature wanted to separate from Jayden but failed, the speed at which Jayden was taking the energy was still very slow.
' How could I increase it? ' he thought.
But he didn't have to worry for long, as he absorbed energy from the creature his understanding of Demonic devouring arts began to increase. Soon Jayden's speed increased and he sucked the energy out of it crazily.
After a few seconds, his view finally cleared up, he saw the green land all around him. Then his eyes landed on the demon that was lying in front of him and was on the verge of death.
It looked similar to the brain demon, Jayden had killed before in the golden bamboo forest, but its body structure was like a dog and several tentacles were coming out of its back, that had sharp fangs on the end.
" Haa that wasn't so easy. " Jayden sighed, as he absorbed the last bit of energy from the demon.
He looked around and saw various skeletons belonging to humans and beasts, ' It must be the handiwork of that asshole. ' he thought.
" You did great, as expected of the next Nether Lord. " Anna spoke in a cheerful tone.
" Yeah, what matters is that I won, but where is the thing you were talking about, I can't see anything. " Jayden asked.
" This place is tricky, take the core from its body first, then I'll guide you. " Anna suggested.
" Alright," Jayden cut open the demon's corpse and took out the core. It looked similar to the core he had taken from the Mind monster, the only thing that was different was the slight patterns in this core.
" Now where do I have to go? "Jayden asked after extracting the core and placing it in his ring.
" Turn to 52° clockwise and walk straight. " Anna said.
He nodded and after turning began to walk, even after walking for five minutes, nothing changed the green land seemed endless. After a couple more minutes, he finally asked:
" How much longer do I have to walk? "
" You're almost there, just keep walking 107 more steps and then punch the ground below you. " Anna answered.
*BOOOM*
Taking in a long breath, Jayden walked 107 more steps and then punched the ground hard. The entire place began to shake, cracks appeared in the ground and then Jayden finally saw something lying in a deep pit.
" What are those things? Are they bracelets? " Jayden wondered, while squinting his eyes.
He jumped near them, and after picking both of them, he began to observe carefully. Both the bracelets looked dark, as if they were absorbing all the light around them and they were giving a mighty aura of Gods. They were made of a strange metal, and the pattern on them looked beautiful.
" So these things were here all along!! " Anna exclaimed.
" What are these? " Jayden asked in confusion.
" I'll explain that later, first put a drop of your blood on them. " Anna spoke in an excited tone.
Jayden was very curious, but he followed her instruction and after making a small cut on his finger using Andrea, he placed a couple of drops on both the bracelets.
*BUZZZZZZZZZZ*
Both the bracelets began to vibrate crazily, as if excited, they released a golden light that engulfed the entire land, momentarily blinding Jayden.
Then they flew out of his hands and disappeared for a moment, he couldn't understand what was happening, before he could do anything both the bracelets flew towards his arm and tightened around his wrist.
" Ahh? " Jayden lost balance, and fell forward, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. They were not only weighing down on his arm, but his entire body felt heavy. Just standing up seemed like a difficult task.
" Annaaaa, what the hell are these? " Jayden asked, as he stood onto his feet with great difficulty.
" They are items that belonged to someone really strong from the Asura Clan, it'll be very helpful to you, it'll increase the capacity of your internal energy and also purify it, it will increase your defences and make you physically much stronger, it will- " Anna began to blabber about the benefits of the bracelets.
" Just tell me how to take them off, I can't even walk properly with these attached to me. " Jayden interrupted, as he spoke in an irritated tone.
" You can't, but look on the bright side, having them will definitely be beneficial for you. " Anna said in a soothing tone.
" How am I supposed to fight if I can't even move? " Jayden sighed.
" You're acting like that because you don't know their importance, if you knew, then you would be jumping with joy, not that you can actually jump. " Anna said.
" Whatever, haa " he sighed again and turned to leave.
" You know, that face seemed to have quite a bit of knowledge about arrays and formations. " Anna spoke in a suggestive tone.
" You've said enough Anna, I get what you mean, I will take everything from the bastard. " Jayden said with a grin.
The barrier is easily visible now, walking towards it, Jayden easily passed through it. As he came out of the barrier, he saw Xiao Rong who was cultivating near the entrance and the face was nowhere to be seen.
" Yo, where are you, dear face? " Jayden called out.
Hearing his voice, Xiao opened her eyes and looked at him, and she was stunned after seeing his tattered and bloody clothes.
" You're back?!! " the familiar old voice of the face rang out, shock evident in his tone.
