"That's boring. I thought demigods were going to be a challenge. I really wanted to enjoy this form as much as I can." Adrian stated as he crouched while floating in the air.
Grandmaster Lason could be seen doing a begging stance when he suddenly destroyed a potion on his petrified lower half. The potion suddenly cleansed his petrified lower half as he gained distance from Adrian. Grandmaster Lason thought that he has escaped from Adrian's grasps as he was able to clear his status ailment, but he thought wrong.
The Witch of Flesh and Carnae Edora used this chance to brandish her bone whip once more as she now has a clear shot of Adrian. She could see that Adrian was stunned by the sudden happening as he did not move from his position. She made sure to use just enough life force to control the whip and hit their enemy.
"Prankster." Adrian stated as he bent space and time once more.
Grandmaster Lason thought that he would be able to save the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora as long as he is given time, but he is suddenly transported in front of Adrian. Something inside of Grandmaster Lason suddenly snapped as he saw himself in front of the demon that he thought was a greenhorn.
Adrian gripped Grandmaster Lason's neck as if he was gripping something soft and choked him to the point that he will be incapacitated to move. The bone whip that was supposed to hit Adrian is now aimed towards Grandmaster Lason but the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora could not redirect it or stop it no more.
"Agh!" Grandmaster Lason shouted forcibly as a painful snap could be heard from his back as his clothes that was made of alchemy is suddenly torn to shreds.
The clothes that he was very proud made of a synthetic golem is no longer helpful. With just one hit from the bone whip, all the magical formations on the synthetic golem are destroyed. Grandmaster Lason is fortunate enough to not have his current form destroyed as the synthetic golem sacrificed itself so that his body would not get destroyed. He still felt the physical pain that the bone whip though.
The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora could no longer handle the Spine of Regret as she has already used too much of the life force that she absorbed from others. If she used the Spine of Regret more then it would be her own life force that will be sucked. She does not want to burden herself as she is making use of the life force to protect herself from the effects of the Transcendent tier weapon.
She knew that everything is no longer possible as she just stayed still. She can always revive herself using a forbidden technique that she has already in place. All she needs to do is sacrifice the Spine of Regret for that to happen which is why she started mumbling in secret while Adrian dealt with Grandmaster Lason.
"You know. For a second… I actually thought that you really surrendered, and I was about to interrogate you but then I remembered that you are a sly one. You even killed your own best friend for your own gain." Adrian stated which made Grandmaster Lason tremble.
"How do you know such a thing!" Grandmaster Lason shouted with all his might as that is something he made sure to not be known as he made his best friend's death look natural.
"You cannot fool the dead when I am the Arbiter. The vengeful soul of your best friend clings to you and curses you all this time but you cannot see it. It is not just him though as even the soul of your first beloved is cursing at you.
Your beloved is cursing at you for using her as a catalyst in your pursuit of higher alchemy. I can see the number of vengeful souls that cling to you. Even the ones that clings to the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora as well. She has more compared to you thought but your numbers are not low." Adrian stated as he could see all the vengeful spirits clinging to them.
"Do you think you can kill a demigod with that body of yours! Even if you are more powerful than us physically, it does not mean that you can destroy a body of a demigod that has been infused with divine energy easily! You might be able to trap us, but you cannot kill us." Grandmaster Lason stated with strain as he is still being choked by Adrian.
"Is that so? How about the witch over there? Are you finished with your spell?" Adrian asked as the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora suddenly stopped muttering her spell.
Beads of sweat could be seen running on the face of the two demigods as they were preparing a special skill that only demigods can use. The two demigods were banking on the fact that they have the skill called Body Restoration. As long as they have something containing a part of them, they can still revive.
They might be able to revive but that does not mean they can get restored immediately. It would take them ten years to restore their body to a moving condition and fifty years for them to recover to a somewhat strong state. Grandmaster Lason already prepared the materials for his Body Restoration earlier when he escaped petrification.
"Oh! Do you think that both of you will be able to escape from here? I have a question because it is something that I also want to know." Adrian stated.
"We will humor you, demon brat! We will have our revenge either way." Grandmaster Lason stated as he suddenly became confident that he will have his revenge someday.
"If you are that confident then I will ask. Can demigods survive a collapsing dimension with their Body Restoration?" Adrian asked which made both demigods trembled.
