"Alright, let's start," Arthur then took a deep breath before starting to channel his energy inside. He noticed that his energy could reach everywhere in his body, except the area these monsters invaded.
They were now resting inside his back, around his spine. Such a place that was away from his dantian, and his dragonair's energy seemed to be weak to stand alone against them.
"You are right," he muttered when he stirred his dragonair's energy to max, "my energy is hardly doing any damage to them."
"Keep pressuring them first," she harrumphed, "I know I'm right, but we need to divert their attention."
"Don't worry," Arthur smirked as he kept rotating his energy and tried to hit the place of these twenty orbs non stop. Each time a clash happened, he felt sore in his back, yet he never stopped attacking.
It took him four hours to finally make them really restless. They started not to defend, but to attack and hunt his energy down.
At first this didn't result in anything but crushing part of his energy. However with the subsequent hours, the clash between the two energies escalated. Each time they hit together, a bang uprooted and he felt his body being torn between the two brutal forces.
"Isn't it time to attack?" Arthur was much more restless than the monsters, as he realized how hard it was to crush them.
Having such cancerous beings inside wasn't the best thing ever.
"Just a little more, we need them to act rash first, believing themselves to be winning," Gege said.
"Damn! I didn't go to that world and upgraded my powers to end up in this dilemma!" he cursed out loud.
"Your energy hasn't evolved yet," the golden dragon corrected, "you need to crush them first to complete your evolution, or everything will be for nothing."
Arthur wasn't pleased to hear that yet he didn't have anything in hand to do but to try his best and crush those insects. He kept warring with them for one full day before his dragonair's body started to falter.
"Isn't it time yet?" he impatiently asked.
"It's about time for them to attack, then we can move," Gege calmly said.
As she just described, the monsters didn't take more than two hours and their fierce attacks came swiftly against his body and soul. They expanded their reign, and the areas they controlled started to ache badly, making Arthur feel more uncomfortable and enraged.
"Keep resisting their advance," Gege said in strange excitation, "it's now our time to barbecue these monsters and eat them for dinner."
"Just attack," Arthur gritted his teeth while he desperately tried to overcome their assaults everywhere, losing every single encounter with them.
"Now," the moment Gege said this, his pearl resting peacefully inside his old dantian shook. This caused the threads linking it with his mind dantian to vibrate, and the next moment his cultivation energy was stirred up by hidden force.
"Use your cultivation energy to create deep gaps inside their territory," Gege said in an excited tone. "I'll be right behind you, don't worry my darling."
"Tsk," Arthur sneered before controlling his spiritual energy and diverted it towards the inner demons. He didn't hit them wide open, he followed the instructions of Gege and created twenty long thorns that hit the twenty demons' energy all of sudden.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Each encounter with his spiritual energy ended up in a loss for the inner demon side. His spiritual energy moved smoothly like a knife in a butter, creating twenty deep grooves inside the inner demons' territory and reaching all the way towards its core.
Yet when the energy neared the core, it was met with harder resistance that started to delay his spiritual energy advance. "They are trying to divert energies from other fronts," the golden dragon hurried to say.
"Keep pushing your dragonair's energy and don't let them rest," Gege hurried to say before adding with a loud laugh, "hahaha, they are trying to be smart, yet you are doomed you fools."
Just as Arthur stirred up his dragonair's energy and pushed hard on the inner demons' gained territory, his pearl shone brightly all of a sudden, radiating long threads, twenty in number, all went directly towards the twenty grooves created by his spiritual energy.
Despite the threads seeming much weaker than those created before to link between the pearl and the map, they were fast to enter the grooves and be layered and protected instantly by his spiritual energy.
As such his spiritual energy got a massive boast, and it started to gain momentum once again.
"Keep pushing with your dragonair's energy," the golden dragon said before adding, "it's only your dragonair energy that can crush them totally and absorb their powers."
"The pearl also can do that!" Gege hurried to say.
"It can?" Arthur asked.
"It's made partially of your dragonair energy, so it can," Gege explained.
"It's best for him to absorb all of their energies," the golden dragon argued.
"These are twenty inner demons, not just one. He can't tolerate their energies and won't be able to completely crush them. Besides his pearl is also his strength," Gege was more fixed on her plan as she argued back.
"And it will also help you," the golden dragon sneered.
"What's wrong with that? After all with his dragonair energy alone he wouldn't be able to reach this far, or even be able to absorb their energies and annihilate them totally!" she wasn't fazed by the hidden accusation in the golden dragon's words.
"Stop you two," Arthur finally spoke, "it's not time for you to quarrel. We need to kill these demons no matter what."
His words silenced the golden dragon while Gege chuckled. Arthur ignored her as he completely focused on pushing his dragonair energy to reach the core of the inner demons fast.
"Now we separated them," Gege finally heaved a long sigh of relief despite her previous collected attitude, "now send in your dragonair energy to absorb as much as it could, and I will start absorbing some with the pearl to help."
"Tsk," the golden dragon was still angry at her greedy nature, yet when Arthur tried to absorb the first demon, things started to appear the same as Gege described.
"This energy…" the moment Arthur's energy surrounded one orb and started to invade it, the orb shuttered all of sudden, releasing a sudden gush of enormous pure energy that overwhelmed him. "I need some time to digest it."
"Humph," Gege harrumphed while muttering, "and you thought I was greedy, huh?"
"…" the golden dragon didn't speak again for a while. Arthur then started to circulate the newly added energy around his body. The energy started to cleanse his veins and muscles, strengthening his organs and outer dragonair body. "I believe this will make my human body evolve to higher heights," he said as he thought about the other nineteen orbs waiting for him to absorb.
"Yet this is time consuming," he sighed as fully absorbing one orb took one day, and he needed a half day to rest and stabilize his newly evolved energy.
"I can absorb one orb in four days, so I can help to slightly shorten the time," Gege said while adding, "part of energy will go to the pearl, part to your map, and the remaining will go to support me."
"No problem," Arthur laughed before adding, "this is a grand feast.. Anyone is welcomed to have a share."
