123: Assault with Dark Element

Assault with Dark Element

Rean once more touched the area close to the internal injury. The moment he did that, the Snow Crane shivered, but because Javiu was there with her, she didn't try to push Rean away.2

Rean then sent his Light Element inside, trying to get a better view of the situation in his mind. He didn't try to stimulate the Life Force around the Umbral Energy, though. If he did that, chances were that the Umbral Energy would have even more Life Energy to grow.

"I see... It really has some semblance with Roan's Dark Element."

Rean pondered a bit and then decided to try something different. Suddenly, his part of his hair began to change color as he exchanged Light Element for Dark Element with Roan. Roan, of course, noticed it.

'What is it?'

Rean then answered through their soul connection.

'Nothing much, I'm trying to help an elder here in the Demon beasts Faction.'

Roan then cut their connection. Since Rean wasn't in danger or anything, then he didn't care.

Rean then manipulated the Light and Dark Elements together. His Light Element was used around the main source of Umbral Energy to protect the organs, while Roan's Dark Element was going to assault the Umbral Energy itself. Rean and Roan have free control of the other Element, so he knew that it would not affect his Light Element.

"Elder Juvian, it will probably be painful, so do your best to hold her down."

Javiu nodded, and he began to pour his Spiritual Energy into the Snow Crane. It spread through her body rapidly until suddenly, it paralyzed her nerves.

"Alright, go ahead."

The Crane noticed that it couldn't move anymore and tried to use its own Spiritual Energy to break free from the restriction. However, Javiu held her there.

Rean didn't hold back and initiated the attack against the Umbral Energy. At the same time, the Snow Crane's eyes went bloodshot. It wanted to cry, but elder Javiu had control over its body.

However, it wasn't anything easy to do. The Snow Crane is a Stage Four Demon Beast, equivalent to a Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator. Elder Javiu is only at the Core Formation Realm, so he was definitely weaker than her. If not that the Crane trusted him, he wouldn't have got control over her movements.

"Be fast, I won't be able to hold her for long."

Rean began to sweat rivers. The Umbral Energy's quality couldn't be compared to Roan's Dark Element. However, the strength was definitely much higher. The cultivator who attacked the Snow Crane with Umbral Energy was definitely far above Rean and Roan in cultivation.

Fortunately, Umbral Energy didn't have anyone's support. With Rean's constant attack of Dark Element against the Umbral Energy, it quickly began to lose its power.

The reason the Crane was feeling so much pain was not the Umbral Energy, though. It was all due to Roan's Dark Element, which destroys life energy/force. It was definitely much more painful than the slow absorption process of the Umbral Energy.

Fortunately, Rean was the one controlling it, so he could use his own Light Element to support the Crane is this internal battle.

Finally, the last bit of Umbral Energy disappeared. Rean then quickly ceased the use of Dark Element, and his Light Element began to pour inside like torrents! It was also at this moment that Elder javiu lost control over the Crane.

However, just as the Snow Crane was about to push Rean away, the pain suddenly disappeared. On the place where the Umbral Energy was acting before, only a very comfortable feeling remained. Rean kept pouring more and more Light Element as it fed the Crane's life force.

It was then that Rean fell on his butt while gasping for air.

"Sorry... I need... some time..."

Unfortunately, Rean didn't have enough Spiritual Energy to finish healing the Crane. In fact, he didn't achieve even 20% of total healing. The Crane was a Stage Four Demon Beast, after all. There was no way for someone at his level to totally heal her in one go.

Elder Javiu then helped Rean. He could see that Rean's Spiritual Energy went completely dry.

"How was it? I thought she would attack you straight away after I lost control, but she didn't. Could it be that you were successful?"

Rean smiled before nodding.

"Yes. I couldn't get close to heal the injury, but the Umbral Energy Source was utterly wiped out. Even if I don't do anything, she will eventually reach full recovery in that place. The Umbral Energy contamination around will also disappear now that the source is gone."

Rean then sat on the ground and brought out a few of his Spirit Stones from his bag. He closed his eyes while concentrating on recovering his Spiritual Energy. Elder Javiu, on the other hand, used his Spiritual Energy to check the Crane's injury condition.

"Hahaha! Great! It is already showing signs of recovery."

Suddenly, Rean almost fell to the side. That's because the Snow Crane's head began to rub against his body. Seeing that, Rean and Javiu laughed out loud.

"Alright, alright. Let me recover my Spiritual Energy first before I continue to heal you."

The Crane nodded before returning to its resting position.

"Elder Javiu, can it understand my words?"

Javiu nodded.

"She can understand a little indeed. She is a peak Stage Four Demon beast, so her intelligence is partially awakened already. Once a Demon Beast enters Stage Five, they will gain full intelligence, just like any other human. She is very close to doing the same thing."

Rean was surprised to hear that.

"As intelligent as a human? No, wait, almost stage five? Isn't that the same as a Divine Soul Realm cultivator?"

Elder Javiu nodded.

"That's exactly it."

"No wonder she nodded back at me. She is already quite intelligent since she understood my words."

Javiu then pondered a bit before saying.

"Can you help to eliminate the other source of Umbral Energy as well? I'll be sure to report your achievements later, so it should give you a lot of Sect points."

Rean's eyes lit up after hearing Sect points. He would do so even if there weren't Sect points. But now that Javiu said it, he is even more willing.

"Sure, leave it to me!"
