V.61 Forgotten II
Arc didn't waste any time after collecting the body of Drall into his storage ring, he knows the fight is not over yet.
After all the formation that summons the forgotten are still active.
And true enough a few seconds after Drall has defeated the formation began to expand more than double the size of the previous one that summons Drall.
"Eve, how was the Relic collection going on?"
"Only halfway through Boss"
"Fuck!!" Arc curse
"Should we retreat?" asked Eve
"No! Not yet"
ROAR!! ROAR!!
Two huge forgotten heads can be seen emerging from the formation.
Arc didn't waste any time he put his hand on the formation and "Energy Absorption" this is one of the techniques he learned during his training to control his skill energy manipulation. Of course, he didn't shout it like the one in the novel and movies. But he did give it a name to differentiate the skills he has learned or created.
And because of his bad naming sense, he just names it based on its functions.
He was hoping Energy absorption can slow down the emergence of the forgotten and that will give time for Lilly and Eve to kill them before they can totally emerge.
The roar of the Two forgotten shakes the tower of Babel, Arc was wondering if this tower would be able to survive the rampaging to two or more forgotten. And he wasn't the only one thinking about it. Every member of HOC is thinking the same thing.
And while many members of HOC are happy with the emergence of the new forgotten, the Pope and the cardinals know the truth.
"It's over, this is the end of us!!" said the Pope and no one questions him.
Lilly as soon as the heads of the forgotten emerge began to hit with her sword, the forgotten can only look in despair as Lilly cut the Head of the forgotten in two killing it instantly.
"What the hell is that Fairy? How is it possible for that kind of monster to exist"
"That must have been a god masquerading as a fairy," said another priest
"And why would the gods attack us? We are already in prison why would they attack us?"
"How should I know? But that's the only explanation I can think of"
"Shut up!! And just watch if this is the will of the divine then we will accept it with open arms"
All the priest close their mouth, after all the one that spoken is a cardinal. Despite panicking inside the cardinal remains unmoved on the outside. This is the only way they can maintain order. To question the divine is punishable by death. That was their creed and law.
Arc no longer pays attention to anything and just concentrates on absorbing as much as possible to slow the forgotten summoning.
"Faster, faster" Arc repeating those words over and over in his head
Suddenly Lilly stops fighting and looks over Arc. And she wasn't the only one even Eve stops attacking and looks at where Arc is.
That is because beneath Arc another formation is being formed, and unlike the golden formation that's summoning the forgotten the one on Arc is Black. The color of the sovereign empire.
And this black formation is quickly expanding and a huge amount of energy is being drawn into it. Like a black hole.
Of course, Arc is unaware of it at all. He was just concentrating on absorbing as much energy as he can while repeating the words faster, over and over again in his head.
And another thing the energy being absorbed is being channeled to Diablos and ring after ring of runic formation emerges surrounding Diablo. Black energy is surrounding Diablo like a cocoon. Until it becomes so concentrated that it blocks the view. The energy envelopes Diablo with Arc inside it. And runic rings surrounding it.
While the Energy Absorption runes continue to expand, it greatly slows down the emergence of the forgotten, and that allows Lilly to kill them like harvesting weeds.
Time passes more than an hour has pass and Lilly was able to kill around ten forgotten the reason for that is Arc energy absorption greatly slows down the emergence of forgotten and as Lilly is killing them so fast, sometimes she has to wait several minutes before a new forgotten started to emerge.
The Pope and the cardinals have become numb to the situations the Pope didn't even know whether to laugh or cry when they think it was over Lilly the cute monster is killing the forgotten like ants and the emerging forgotten was unable to do anything as Lilly unstoppable attacks kill them in one hit.
And because of Arc Energy absorption, the formation can't gather enough energy to summon multiple forgotten fast enough to counter Lilly's attack.
Lilly has been waiting for over fifteen minutes and there's no sign of new emerging forgotten. Suddenly the summoning formation is starting to crack.
Arc noticed that the amount of energy he can absorb is lessening.
"Did the formation stop?"
"Hmm, Eve?"
He waited but Eve didn't answer. And when he opened his eyes he was shocked. He was surrounded by dark energy like being inside the eye of the tornado. He looked around it was a frightening sight but beautiful at the same time.
"What's going on?"
"Oh, you finally notice,"
"Nine? What's going on?" ask Arc a little confuse
"What do you think will happen when you started absorbing a huge amount of energy without designating where it will go?"
Arc scratch his head, well to be honest he never thought about it. At that time he just wanted to absorb as much energy as possible to slows down the forgotten from being summoned.
"Don't worry this is not a bad thing." Nine stated as though she's reading Arc's mind.
"Really? So what's going on?"
"Why don't you see for yourself."
Arc once again close his eyes and began to concentrate and this time he was trying to sense where the energy is concentrating. Because of the massive energy accumulating all around him, it was hard to sense where exactly all the energy being directed.
And when he found it he was shocked. "Diablo"
