Chereads / The Eight Supernatural Powers / Chapter 36 - The past part-7

Chapter 36 - The past part-7

Lex sat on the grassy field, playing with his one-month-old son, laughter filling the air as his wife, Elisha, watched lovingly from nearby. The peaceful scene was suddenly interrupted by an ominous presence. Ashura, filled with malice, stood in the distance, his eyes locked on Lex.

"It's the perfect time to kill you and take that power," Ashura growled, charging towards Lex with murderous intent.

But before Ashura could get close, he was suddenly engulfed in a blinding white aura. He halted in his tracks, confusion flickering in his eyes as a figure began to walk toward him from the light.

Ashura's brow furrowed. "Who are you?"

The man stopped just a few feet from him, his presence calm yet commanding. "I am Ethan."

Ashura's eyes widened in disbelief. "Ethan? You... you died that day."

Ethan smiled slightly, his eyes sharp with confidence. "I just beat the Heaven God. I'm not so easy to kill."

Ashura scoffed, shaking his head. "Whatever. Go away, I have no time for this."

Ethan's expression darkened. "You're the one who made Lex interested in the mysterious chain, aren't you? His friends told me everything. You manipulated them, forced them to tell Lex about the chain. You're here for the power, not revenge, am I right?"

Ashura's grin faded. "So my plan got leaked, huh? Fine. I'll kill you too!" He lunged at Ethan, his hands charged with dark energy. But no matter how hard Ashura struck, his attacks simply passed through Ethan like air. It was as if Ethan wasn't even there.

Ethan stood firm, unfazed. "My Sasa power is called the White Room. In this space, you can't touch me."

Ashura's frustration grew. "We'll see how long you can hold this power!" he shouted, launching another barrage of attacks, but still, none of them landed.

As Ashura fought furiously, he began to feel his strength waning. His body felt heavy, weaker with each passing second.

Ethan observed calmly. "Your power is being consumed by my White Room. The longer you stay, the weaker you'll become."

Panic flashed in Ashura's eyes as he thought to himself, I have to escape this room... but how? His mind raced, searching for a way out, but the White Room seemed impenetrable, like an endless void trapping him.

Ashura could feel his body growing weaker by the second. His power, once formidable, was being drained. Desperation clawed at him, knowing that if he didn't find a way to break free soon, everything he had schemed for would be lost.

Ashura, desperate and consumed by rage, shouted, "I will do anything, just let me out!"

Ethan remained calm, replying, "No way. You'll die soon, Ashura. The Sasa clan doesn't need your power anymore."

However, maintaining the White Room was taking a toll on Ethan. The strain became visible, and Ashura noticed it. With a smirk, Ashura taunted, "You can't hold it much longer, Ethan."

Suddenly, the White Room collapsed, disappearing into the air. Without hesitation, Ashura threw a powerful punch at Ethan, landing a direct hit. Ethan was thrown far back, disappearing into the distance.

Ashura, breathing heavily, looked around frantically for Lex and his family. But they were gone. Panic and fury filled his eyes.

"Where is he?!" Ashura roared in frustration.

A calm voice spoke from behind him. "Are you searching for me?"

Ashura turned to see Lex standing there, completely composed. Enraged, Ashura launched a furious attack, but Lex effortlessly dodged each strike, his movements precise and swift.

Ashura, growing more desperate, tried to snap his fingers to unleash his power, but before he could, his hand was frozen mid-air. Pyro had appeared behind him, using his power to seal Ashura's hand.

"Enough!" Pyro's voice was stern and commanding.

Ashura, immobilized, screamed in fury. He struggled, but Pyro's seal held firm. His power, his movements—everything was bound.

"You can't do this!" Ashura yelled, his voice filled with fury and desperation.

Pyro stepped forward, his eyes cold. "You've done enough damage, Ashura. This ends now."

Ashura continued to rage, his frustration mounting as he fought against the seal. But it was clear—his path of destruction had finally come to an end.

Suddenly, Ashura began to laugh, his voice thick with sinister satisfaction.

Pyro, confused and filled with dread, asked, "Why are you laughing, Ashura?"

Ashura sneered and said, "Look at Lex."

Pyro turned and saw that Lex's seal had been destroyed, and the power that had once been contained within him was now flowing into Ashura. Lex, struggling to comprehend what was happening, asked in disbelief, "How?"

Ashura, his eyes gleaming with malice, declared, "This Eight Siddhi power is mine now."

He then uttered the word "Prakamya," and the seal that had surrounded him shattered, unleashing a devastating surge of power. Ashura raised his weapon, ready to strike Lex down.

As Ashura prepared to deliver the fatal blow, Lex, in his final moments, looked at his father and whispered, "Protect my son, Kofi, Dad."

With those last words, Lex's head fell to the ground, and his body crumpled lifelessly. Pyro stood paralyzed, stunned beyond words as he watched his son—his legacy—fall. The weight of Lex's death crushed him, leaving him frozen in disbelief and pain.
