Severe pain overloaded Darcel and Aniela's mind and body.

Pain that would want to make anyone unleash blood-curdling screams and beg for the tremendous pain to go away.

And yet, neither Darcel nor Aniela utters a single yelp of pain. An overwhelming power was trying to break in and crush their souls to teeny bits.

But Darcel and Aniela's souls crazily surged against the overwhelming force.

At the same time, Darcel tightly clutched both silver cores in his hands. And immediately then, both silver Cores furiously throb and brightly lit up to match the mysterious man and red creature's silver Core's radiance!

'Chi!'

One bright stream of silver energy blasted from the two cores and drilled into Darcel and Aniela, providing their souls with an overload cascade of power!

While this could've been fatal to the duo and in all honestly should've wrecked their souls, destroying their cultivation.

This overload of power proved to be their saving grace!

This overloaded influx of power was perfect for this dangerous situation. All excess energy flowing into Dracel and Aniela's souls was quickly used and expelled from out of them.

The overwhelming power trying to break into Darcel and Aniela's souls was getting matched by the two silver Cores in Darcel's hand.

Both sides quickly reached a stalemate as neither could overpower the other side.

And while this occurred, Darcel and Aniela's souls stayed firm and were still crazily surging to break free from its invisible shackles.

"Tch! It doesn't matter how much power you use from Sariel's splitting Cores! The end result of your bodies still won't change!" The mysterious robe man mockingly shouted to them, not even fearing their powers getting matched.

"Heh….grab my hand Aniela!" Darcel put his hand out to his right, and Aniela immediately reacted. "Alright!" Her soft hand tightly clutched Darcel's hand, causing a tremendous change in both of them.

In their souls' depths, another incredible power was promptly activated.

Their completed Darkness Soul link erupted with new immense waves of powers in their souls! Both Darcel and Aniela felt their minds truly has linked up to become synchronized.

The overwhelming power trying to break in Darcel and Aniela's souls had begun to quake as their Darkness Soul link power started to slowly overpower it.

Because their souls are already in an extremely active state, all it took was a simple connection of their physical self to get this power to activate.

Under normal circumstances, this process wouldn't be as nearly as easy. They haven't even touched upon the True Soul Core realm where they could efficiently train their souls.

But these powerful silver Cores acted as a significant shortcut gateway to activate their Darkness Soul links.

In sync, Darcel and Aniela's Darkness Soul link provided each other with a steady growth of incredible power.

Although the shackles binding their hidden, latent power still couldn't be broken even with the Darkness Soul link.

"You-you!! How's this possible?!?" The mysterious robe man, for the first time, expressed utter shock and dismay.

Clearly, he never counted on Darcel and Aniela having an extraordinary power that can abruptly grow their souls.

The mysterious robe man's hand shook in furious rage as, once again, these brats are proving to be too damn troublesome! His teeth gnashed against each other, and he finally came to a risky split-second decision.

"You know what, fine! I'll just let the whole Sariel Core become completely corrupt! Because for it, I'll just snatch you two souls in whole!!"

The mysterious robe man shrieked with rage and explosively increased his silver Core power!

Several large cracks began appearing on the man's silver Core. The red creature also began to explosively increase its silver Core powers.

Large cracks began to appear on its silver Core as well, but the power increase was worth it.

"Nnngh…." Both Darcel and Aniela grunted as the mysterious robe man, and the red creature was quickly gaining back the edge.

The situation was quickly turning for the worse until something broke into Darcel and Aniela's minds.

"Ehehehe~! All you two need is a little push~!"

The beautiful smooth voice of Sari suddenly echoed in Darcel and Aniela's minds! And it was then, the invisible shackles tightly binding the hidden power locked in their souls was entirely destroyed!

'CHI!!'

A luminous Darkness soul beam blasted straight out from Darcel's chest!

The Darkness soul beam utterly decimated the silver stream of energy drilling into his chest from the mysterious robe man's silver Core.

Furthermore, the Darkness soul beam didn't lose momentum when destroying the silver stream energy and continue to barrel straight towards the mysterious robe man.

All the mysterious robe man could do was look in utter shock at the Darkness soul beam barreling towards him.

His soul had now become wholly suppressed under this beam, utterly locking up his body and preventing him from moving.

'Chi!'

Gray blood splattered into the air as Darcel's Darkness Soul beam tore straight through the mysterious robe man's chest! Nearly from this sole attack, the man's soul was almost split into pieces, tremendously weakening him.

And in sync, Aniela's soul attack also reached the red creature at the same time.

From her chest, a bright white Light soul beam shot out and destroyed the silver stream energy produced by the red creature.

Her white Light soul beam carried the same unfathomable suppression to the red creature soul, locking its body in place.

'Chi!'

Putrid crimson blood spewed into the air as Aniela's Light soul beam tore right through the red creature's chest! Its soul was fractured to an even greater extent than the mysterious robe man's soul.

The power once exuded from the red creature and mysterious robe man's silver Core was utterly destroyed. The suppression on Vice Principal Zelle Elder Leweyn and Erin was swiftly dropped.

From behind, the dozens of possessed humans already moved out of the way before Darcel and Aniela's soul beams strayed into the silver sky.

Although, there wasn't a single one there that didn't feel majorly suppressed by Darcel and Aniela's new soul powers.

Darcel and Aniela's soul beams quickly vanished after firing, leaving for the mysterious robe man and the red creature to fall out of the sky.

But right then, the mysterious robe man's hand ignited in a silver flash!

"KILL THEM!!" Blood spewed out of the man's mouth as he shouted, and intense pain coursed through his body and soul.

Yet the man didn't care, and while falling, he blasted a vast silver Qi claw towards Vice-Principal Zelle's group!

The silver Qi claw was colossal and covered every inch of Vice-Principal Zelle's group.

None of the possessed humans wanted to get in the way of that massive attack. They had instead opted to wait behind with cruel smirks plaster on their faces.

After all, picking them off when they're crushed will be easier this way!

Darcel and Aniela felt pressure when facing this giant silver Qi claw. Even as the mysterious robe man was severely weakened, neither had the ability to efficiently destroy the Qi Claw and save their whole group.

They could just narrowly dodge, but that would mean Vice-Principal Zelle would end up as flatten.

Vice Principal Zelle was nearly drained of energy, but for some odd reason, her bloodstream was still frantically throbbing.

Ever since she had destroyed the yellow creature's group, it never stopped throbbing. And now, under an extreme life or death situation, her bloodstream was going completely frantic.

She could tell her real latent power was trying to break free, but with the Qi claw speed, Vice Principal Zelle wouldn't have enough time to let her power roam free.

Erin felt rage and despair as he was utterly helpless at this point. He could barely even move his body, much less try and destroy this giant silver Qi Claw.

"Tch….hah!" Elder Leweyn, however, didn't want to reside to fate and unleashed a mighty battle cry!

With the last bit of his Heavenly Qi, Elder Leweyn swirled raging blue lightning around his hand.

Quickly a blue lightning strike blasted from his hand and clashed with the silver Qi Claw.

'BANG!'

"Spread out!!" One of the possessed humans shouted as they all quickly flew backward to escape the combustion of Heavenly Transformation power!

For miles, everything the Woods was brought to absolute chaos as the environment was shattered apart.

Elder Leweyn quickly grabbed Erin and shielded him with his Heavenly Transformation body. However, they were both still blasted off from the aftershocks of the explosion.

Darcel and Aniela felt scorching pain wracked their bodies for a brief second.

With the silver Cores' last remaining power, Darcel poured nearly all of it into forming a silver barrier that protected him, Aniela, and Vice-Principal Zelle from the aftershocks.

Soon the combustions of incredible power dispersed, allowing the Woods to fall back to its natural calm state. All of the possessed humans quickly flew back over to observe the aftermath.

And once they arrived, cruel and vicious smiles etched on every one of the possessed humans' faces.

From a mile close by, their eyes watched as Elder Leweyn and Erin's state was pathetic.

Their bodies were closed together, but they were both face down, lying in the dirt. A pool of blood swirled underneath them, but the possessed humans still clearly sensed they both were alive.

"Hmph! As expected! And no-AH?!?"

One of the possessed humans was starting to gloat, but he and everyone else suddenly released gasps of immense shock.

Bright blue flames refracted in the dozens of possessed human's eyes as they all despairingly looked above them.

Covering the sky and dying it in blue was an enormous blue flaming hand that radiated an unfathomable power!

The power of the blue flaming hand far surpassed every single one of them.

Previously their entire being was already suppressed by Darcel and Aniela's souls, and now this blue flaming hand was the final nail in the coffin.

All of their bodies tightly locked up, preventing them from moving. The suppression was like several tons of mountains crushing their bodies, creating excruciating pressure on them.

Everyone watched in utter misery as the blue flaming hand came crashing down on to them.

'Bang!'

The dozens of possessed humans were slapped violently into the ground, killing every single one of them on impact. Their bodies were mutilated by blue flames and utterly cracked by overwhelming sheer power.

"....Unbelievable…." The mysterious robe man breathlessly uttered as he struggled to stay standing up.

He and the red creature still had tremendous pain wracked their bodies and souls, but their eyes still caught that large blue flaming hand.

However, neither would get a chance to know who exactly did it as an immense rush of incredible power surged right in front of them!

The mysterious robe man and red creature only had a split second to see blue fire clouding their whole vision.

Vice Principal Zelle, decked out in a blue fire cloak that resembles a fox, appeared right in front of the red creature.

Her bloodstream's hidden power was able to fully erupt thanks to Darcel's protective barrier, but her bodily stamina drain was incredible.

Deciding to end this quickly, Vice Principal Zelle struck out with her fist and tore straight through the red creature's chest! She had then unleashed rampaging blue fire inside the red creature, swiftly overpowering it and killing it once and for all.

With her other hand, Vice-Principal Zelle blasted a stream of blue fire towards the mysterious robe man.

Everything was just too sudden for the man, and he had no choice but to tank the blue fire stream!

'Bang!'

"AHHH!!!"

The mysterious robe man unleashed blood-curdling screams as he rolled on the ground. But while he was rolling, a bright silver flash enriched his body, making the blue flames on the outside of his body dissipate.

Although, the pain that came from Vice Principal Zelle's attack didn't dissipate in the slightest.

Vice Principal Zelle crashed to her knees as her blue flaming fox cloak dropped.

As her eyes looked over to the mysterious robe man, dread filled her face.

The man had still managed to shakily stand up while his hoodie was finally thrown off, revealing his grotesque face. He looked dried up like a corpse, and parts of his flesh was hanging off his face.

But a deranged smile was still etched on to his horrid face.
