chapter 3211: i'm busy

the werdlem system couldn't reach diliy, but it didn't mean he stopped being loyal to the werdlem empire and the inquisition hall. the only difference here was that he wouldn't be directly controlled by the system and that he wouldn't be able to contact the outside world.
diliy's spiritual sense spread around, and he soon saw rifindio. of course, kentucky was there, too. it's just that kentucky was also at stage seven, just like rean. diliy wasn't considering him a threat. his focus was completely on foliana and rifindio, who were both in the transition realm.
"foliana! are you betraying the inquisition hall?! you shouldn't be able to act against its wishes. help me capture these people." diliy asked with a dark expression, still not sure of what to do.
foliana smiled, speaking her mind for the first time in hundreds of years. "i've never been part of the inquisition hall from the very start. i've always pretended to be a member so i could survive. now, there is no need anymore. also, you are being controlled by the werdlem empire. we got you here so we can set you free. so, how about letting us capture you without struggles?"
"hmph!" seeing that foliana would also be against him, and especially the fact that she was as strong as himself with her red lightning, diliy immediately gave up the idea of fighting back. he instantly turned around, and his fifth stage of sword intent came forth, followed by his spiritual energy and element.
'world splitting!'
the skill that gave his sect its name all those years ago. even though diliy lost his loyalty to it, his mind still remembered everything.
a powerful slash that threatened to split the world in half came down, striking the barrier in front of diliy. he intended to open a breach in the protection formation barrier and
immediately flee before warning the inquisition hall.
*shhh...*
however, to his surprise, his most powerful attack seemed to dissipate as it pressed forward. by the time it finally hit the barrier, it lost most of its power and barely caused any ripples to it. "impossible! how can there be such a strong formation here?"
without a skill to display its prowess, diliy's attack wasn't able to force kentucky back like it did with rean. force of them reached an instant stalemate, both pushing with all their might. however, diliy truly didn't have much of a chance here. rean, rifindio, and foliana quickly followed, attacking diliy from three different sides while he was still holding kentucky back. all diliy could do was burn as much spiritual energy as possible to create the best defense he could. he simply didn't have the ability to dodge their attacks anymore.
*boom, boom, boom!*
everything came down against diliy, and he shot to the ground like a meteor.
*bang!*
a huge crater appeared on the ground, and deep injuries appeared on diliy's body. it was already impressive that he survived, though. after all, he received an attack from rean, foliana, and ridindio at the same time.
"even if i die here, i will make sure to bring you down with me!" knowing that he had no escape, diliy finally gave up. he was strong, but everyone in rean's group was no pushover either. he was lucky rean and kentucky weren't in the transition realm. had they been, either one of them could have easily subdued diliy.
diliy closed his eyes, and the spiritual energy in his dantian began to swell. "thank you for the protective barrier. in this way, not even you can escape!"
rean faintly smiled as he saw that. diliy intended to self destruct his dantian and all the spiritual energy stored there. sure, the protective barrier rean created would be a bad thing since they wouldn't be able to escape the area of the explosion. however, rean didn't have any intention of letting diliy sacrifice himself like that. "master, you should pay more attention to your surroundings."
diliy's eyes opened wide. because his entire focus was on rean, kentucky, rifindio, and foliana, he failed to notice a gate appeared on his back.
"i'm busy. just get inside already," said a cold voice that made diliy's soul freeze for a moment. that was right! he completely forgot about roan!
*bang!*
with a single attack, roan sent diliy flying into the celestial soul dimensional realm!
