Rocky focused his energy, summoning a massive boulder from the earth. With a loud roar, he hurled the rock at Atlas, hoping to bring the beast down.
The boulder hurtled through the air with incredible force, leaving a trail of dust and debris in its wake. The ground shook as the rock made contact with Atlas, but to everyone's surprise, the beast didn't even flinch.
Mason and his group stared in disbelief as the boulder bounced off Atlas's crystal-hard hide, leaving only a small crack in its wake.
Mason had underestimated the creature's strength and power, and now he and his men were in grave danger. The Crystal Behemoth let out a deafening roar, signaling its intent to crush its puny foes.
As the ground rumbled beneath their feet, Orion stepped forward, his eyes locked on Atlas. "Atlas," he said in a commanding voice, "stomp the ground and make an earthquake."
Atlas let out another deafening roar, and as it brought its massive foot down, the earth beneath them quaked and shook violently. The ground split open, sending rocks and debris flying in all directions.
Mason and his group stumbled and fell, struggling to keep their footing amidst the chaos. The ground continued to shake as Atlas unleashed its full power, determined to crush its opponents into submission.
Despite their efforts to dodge and evade, Mason and his group were no match for the Crystal Behemoth's incredible power. The ground continued to shake violently, and as the tremors intensified, the amulets that Mason and his group wore began to crack and fracture.
Suddenly, with a blinding flash of light, the amulets shattered into a million pieces, sending Mason and his group hurtling through the air and out of the Ruin Space.
Gasping for breath, Mason and his group found themselves lying on the ground outside the ruins, their bodies bruised and battered from the intense battle.
Mason couldn't help but feel a sense of defeat and regret as he looked back at the ruins, now filled with the sound of the Crystal Behemoth's triumphant roars.
As Orion watched Mason and his group disappear from the Ruin Space, he let out a deep sigh. He knew that he had no other choice but to defeat them.
Turning to Aurora, who stood beside him with her usual ice-cold expression, he said, "Let's get out of here. We've had enough excitement for one day."
Aurora simply nodded in agreement, and together, they made their way out of the ruins and back to their own sect.
When they were teleported out from the Ruin Space, Orion and Aurora were approached by Elder Winston.
"Orion, is there something good in there?" Elder Winston asked with a curious expression, gesturing towards the ruins.
Orion reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring. "Here," he said, handing the ring to Elder Winston. "I have put the resources that I got from there inside this ring."
Elder Winston examined the ring closely, his eyes widening in surprise. "This is quite impressive, Orion," he said, a hint of admiration in his voice. "You continue to amaze us with your skills."
Orion simply nodded in response, feeling a sense of pride in his abilities. He knew that his hard work and dedication had paid off, and he was determined to continue honing his skills and becoming even stronger.
With a smile, Elder Winston said, "Let's go back to the sect now and share this news with the others. They'll be thrilled to hear about our success." Orion and Aurora followed Elder Winston, their minds still buzzing with the excitement of their adventure in the Ruin Space.
They were now going back to their flying ship, but before they could go back, they were blocked by an elder.
"What is the meaning of this?" the elder asked, a frown etched on his face as he approached them.
"What do you mean, Elder Ethan?" Elder Winston asked, clearly taken aback by the elder's sudden appearance.
"I have heard from my disciples that the kid whose name is Orion takes all the resources," Elder Ethan said, his voice laced with anger.
Orion felt a knot form in his stomach as he realized what was happening. He had a feeling that this was going to be trouble.
Elder Winston looked at Elder Ethan with a mix of confusion and annoyance. "And what is the problem with that?" he asked, his tone calm but firm.
"The problem is that your disciple is taking more than his fair share," Elder Ethan replied, his voice rising with each word. "This is unacceptable behavior, and it will not be tolerated."
Orion watched the two elders go back and forth, feeling a sense of unease wash over him. He knew that he had collected more resources than anyone else, but he had thought that it was because he was simply better at it than the others.
"Elder Ethan, you are just jealous," Elder Winston said, a note of frustration creeping into his voice. "Isn't it because Orion is just strong? You are too coward to admit that your disciple is just weaker than mine."
Orion was taken aback by the sudden shift in tone from Elder Winston. He had never seen him get angry before, and he wasn't sure how this was going to play out.
"Elder Winston, you know that's not true," Elder Ethan said, his voice low and dangerous. "My disciples are just as strong as yours, if not stronger. This is about fairness and equity. We cannot allow one person to hoard all the resources."
Orion watched as the two elders continued to argue, feeling a sense of helplessness wash over him. He knew that he had worked hard to collect the resources, but he didn't want to cause any trouble for his sect.
"Elder Ethan, we understand your concerns, but Orion worked hard to collect those resources," Elder Winston replied, trying to diffuse the situation. "He deserves to reap the rewards of his efforts."
"But at what cost to the rest of us?" Elder Ethan retorted. "We cannot allow one person to have so much power and influence. It's not fair to the rest of us."
Orion's heart sank as he realized that the argument between the two elders was quickly escalating. He could see the anger in their eyes, and he knew that this could lead to something much worse than just a simple argument.
