'Sebastian?' Kyle thought in shock. 'How and why is he here? Shouldn't he be in a Secondary or Primary World?'
"I'll explain everything later," Sebastian transmitted, noticing Kyle's shocked and confused expression. "First, I have to deal with her."
Sebastian looked back at the Investigator, who seed surprisingly calm.
Sebastian's words pulled Kyle out of his shock, and he quickly noticed sothing.
The amount of Energy the Investigator passively absorbed was much greater than what Sebastian passively absorbed. This ant that the Investigator was a couple of levels above him.
If this were just a random Sage, there wouldn't be an issue. However, the Investigator was a mber of the Contrast Empire. Her Laws had to be outstanding.
"Can you win against her?" Kyle asked via voice transmission.
Sebastian just smirked.
"Nope."
Kyle blinked in confusion.
anwhile, the Investigator wordlessly readied her sword again. Since one person had arrived to help Descending Mountain, there might be more on their way. It was better to finish this matter quickly and leave.
She wasn't afraid of this newcor. After all, he was only a First Refinent Sage. As a Fourth Refinent Sage with a Complex Level 5.5 Law, she could easily take care of any First Refinent Sage.
Countless swords of light gathered around the Investigator, and an instant later, they shot towards Kyle and Sebastian.
Sebastian just smiled deviously and snapped his fingers.
BANG!
A humongous hand made of lightning broke through reality and crushed all the light swords.
The Investigator's eyes widened in horror as she witnessed a second hand grabbing the walls of the hole the first hand had created. A mont later, the second hand tore reality apart, and a figure stepped through.
The Elental Energy in the surroundings turned chaotic before they all transford into pure Lightning Energy. Space, Ti, and Gravity shook as the bipedal figure of lightning descended into the Hell Dinsion.
It wasn't made of flesh, bone, blood, hair, chitin, or any other form of biological matter.
This thing was made of pure Lightning Energy.
Kyle realized what this figure was, and his eyes widened.
"What have you done?!" the Investigator shouted in terror. "You brought an Elental to this place! Are you crazy?!"
"You're one to talk," Sebastian answered with a snort. "You went through the Elental Dinsion without a guide to kill my friend. So what if I summon an Elental? "
The Investigator just looked at the humongous Lightning Elental in horror.
This was a Peak Level Seven Elental! This thing could even fight newly-advanced Spirit Lords!
Kyle's heart rate shot through the roof. Sebastian had summoned an Elental! Elentals were mindless killing machines!
'And yet, it isn't acting like one,' Kyle thought as he watched the Elental calmly standing in front of Sebastian. 'Can he actually control it? But how?'
"Anyway," Sebastian said. "I don't wanna find out if you sohow called for help or not. Sorry, but we gotta make this quick."
The Investigator's eyes widened even more as the Space Energy around her distorted.
She was trying to teleport!
But then, her surroundings shook as the Energy fell into chaos again.
The majority of Sages could teleport, but they could only initiate teleportation outside of combat. The reason for that was simple.
Montum could interrupt teleportation. Of course, it only worked if the Realm and Montum of the other person were sowhat comparable to the teleporter. A Sage couldn't interrupt a Spirit Lord's teleportation with their Montum.
When the Investigator noticed that her teleportation had been interrupted by Sebastian's Montum, she felt so hope. Elentals reacted aggressively towards Montum. By forcing Sebastian to activate his Montum, she hoped that the Elental would attack him.
Yet, all her hope died when she noticed the Elental ignoring Sebastian and shooting towards her.
The Investigator pulled out her sword and pushed the majority of her Energy into it before firing a terrifying beam of light at the Lightning Elental.
BANG!
The beam created a humongous hole in the Lightning Elental, but the lightning, the Elental was made of, just continued flying forward. Elentals didn't have any Aspects of Power.
They didn't have a Center, mind, Soul, biological body, Core Spark, or even a Beast Core. They were pure and malevolent forces of nature. That was also why it was impossible to control an Elental.
So, why did this thing ignore its summoner and attack her?!
The Investigator turned around to flee. If she could escape the area of influence of Sebastian's Montum, she could teleport! She could still survive!
Yet, that hope also died quickly when she noticed the Elental's speed.
It was unreasonably fast.
Within an instant, it caught up to the Investigator. Its body turned into a spear made of lightning, which shot right at the Investigator.
When she felt the power behind that attack, she realized that she wouldn't be able to survive. This attack was far beyond her capabilities.
The spear reached her.
BANG!
An ethereal hand made of light grabbed the lightning spear. The Lightning Elental tried to disperse its form to escape the grasp of the humongous hand, but it couldn't. The hand sohow had the capabilities to contain the Lightning Elental's essence.
When Sebastian saw that, his eyes widened. An instant later, he pulled out a small token-
The token vanished from Sebastian's hand.
The next mont, reality parted as a new person arrived below the Lightning Elental. The new person wore a small crown and wore the luxurious uniform of a high-ranking mber of the Contrast Empire.
In her hand, she held the token Sebastian had just summoned.
When Kyle saw the new person, his mind went blank.
Only three words appeared in his mind.
'Fuck, it's her.'
"Countess!" the Investigator shouted in shock and elation.
The Countess nodded towards the Investigator before turning to look at Sebastian, the token moving through her fingers playfully. "Do you believe you can call for help in my presence?"
Sebastian took a deep breath but didn't answer.
"Seriously?" Kyle asked suddenly. "You ca here yourself?! You're not here because of , right?"
The Countess glanced at Kyle neutrally. She looked at him for a mont before looking back at the Lightning Elental above her.
The ethereal hand made of light clenched and compressed the Lightning Elental until it was as big as a football. Then, the ball moved towards the Countess' actual hand.
The Countess looked at the ball with so interest before glancing back at Sebastian. "I didn't expect that I would et two geniuses today."
The Countess looked back at the Lightning Elental. "What an ingenious yet mad idea."
A mont later, the Countess moved her hand into the ball of lightning and took hold of sothing.
She pulled the object out of the Lightning Elental, and monts later, the lightning in her hands beca much more violent. However, it still wasn't powerful enough to escape.
When Kyle saw the object in the Countess' hands, his eyes widened.
He recognized that object.
"I assu this is yours?" the Countess asked, looking at Sebastian while holding out a small bead of lightning.
Sebastian gritted his teeth. "Using your own Core Spark as a central control system to take control of an Elental. This can truly be considered madness."
The next mont, she turned to look at Kyle. "As for your question…"
"No, I'm not here because of you."
At that mont, reality warped again as another person arrived.
