*BOOOOOOOOOM...*

"DEFENSE!" Komin shouted as three thick lightning bolts hit them, and right after that, three shadow creatures that looked like shadow tigers attacked them.

"How long until we reach there?" Athan asked with a frown as he had his Sanctuary of Void activated the whole time, "For your information, I am down to 52% of my energy. I am shouldering all the damn defense!"

"SPEED UP," Lienia shouted as she released a giant whirling blast from her palm and pushed them forward.

"Don't you have any direct defensive technique like a shield shape instead of a barrier? Those are more solid even though it's one-directional," Komin asked.

"YOu handle the defense then, let me go offensive. You two already know that my energy is more potent," Athan said as he removed his defense abruptly.

"Fuck!"

Both Komin and Lienia cursed when Athan suddenly removed his Void of Sanctuary and hurridly conjured their own defense.

A turtle was floating beside Komin, his pet beast, and it was also helping in defense.

"Taezin, cover me!" Athan showed as he activated Extremit Drifter.

*BOOOOM...CRACKLE*

Athan destroyed a shadow lightning eagle with his Point of Extremity before moving forward.

Komin and Lienia covered the other two sides as they defended against various lightning attacks from the sky and beasts that appear out of nowhere.

All three of them had been injured a lot, but Athan could recover himself while the other two ate pills to recover themselves.

Suddenly, a giant red lightning bolt hit Athan and blasted his body. Komin was also hit by another lightning and coughed out blood.

Lienia clicked her tongue as she hurridly created a barrier around Komin and dodged an attack from a devil fang rabbit.

Komin hurriedly ate a pill and recovered himself before continuing to fly forward with the others.

The one who worked the most was Pixilote. She was putting the beasts in temporary hallucination with her dream powers and directing them to attack other beasts. Because of her, the pressure on Athan and others was a lot less.

Since Athan had improved his battle style to make it faster and more refined, his attack release speed was faster and more potent. He was making quick work of every beast with Point of Extremity.

Suddenly five Shadow Lightning bulls materialized in front of them.

Athan narrowed his eyes as he powered up his Extremity Drifter void frame to the limit by consuming additional 100 Abyssal Void essence motes and used the <Rumbling Disaster> technique of 1st void art.

*ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.....*

Athan released a flurry of fists with his hyper-action speed due to Extremity Drifter, and those punches powered up one another with compounding force.

Blood released from all over Athan's body before his body broke, but the blanket of grey punches that covered one hundred meters wide area in front of him hit those five Shadow lighting bulls and was destroyed.

Rumbling Disaster!

Komin and Lienia also killed beasts in the other two directions behind Athan.

The three of them were moving in a triangle formation with Pixilote in the middle.

"MOVE!" Athan said before he sprouted a mouthful of blood due to overload in his body, but his Void Crux organ quickly consumed some voidpulse and recovered his body perfectly.

*CRACKLE!!*

"DEFENSE!"

*ZAAAAAAP!*

All three of them were hit by deadly lightning as they sprouted a mouthful of blood. All of their defenses were broken due to the very high burst damage of lightning bolts.

Pixilote, Taezin, and the turtle were also injured as they fell onto the ground with others.

"Fuck....the difficulty of those lightning bolts is increasing!" Lienia said as she was half-naked with her body bleeding.

"Cover yourself," Komin said as he looked at the two mountain peaks of Lienia, as he wiped away the blood from his mouth, "we are close. Let's go faster."

Lienia created a crude energy dress for her body before speaking in annoyance, "my armor is destroyed. Wait, where is Athan?"

"I am fine."

Suddenly, they saw blood and flesh gathering before a bright white light as Athan revealed himself, "let's go fast."

"Are you immortal or what?" Lienia said with a dumbfounded expression, "don't you feel pain?"

*AWOOOOOOOO....*

"We can talk later, MOVE!" Komin shouted as he created a forcefield wall sparkling with geo-brown sparks and pushed towards the wolves as they were pushed hundreds of meters away along with the forcefield geo wall.

...

The three of them continued for the next ten minutes with constant injuries, and Athan only had 21% of his Abyssal Void Essence motes left in his Abyssal Void whirlpool.

"I will run out of energy in the next five minutes," Athan said with a frown.

"Sigh, Athan. You really need more and better profound techniques," Lienia sighed while fighting.

"Humph, Master can make techniques easily if he wants to; now you stop talking and focus on the battle," Taezin said with a snort as he was also quite busy producing barriers for Athan and increasing everyone's flying speed with his Nine-Heavenly wind power.

"THERE IT IS," Komin shouted as he pointed in the front.

"Hmmm?" Athan narrowed his eyes and saw a gate portal embedded in a mountain that was ten kilometers away from them.

"Fuck beasts and others; just create the strongest defense and push forward," Athan said as he activated his Sanctuary of Void.

*ROARRRRRRRRRR....*

Suddenly, a giant Godzilla-like beast with three heads with long necks jumped from behind the mountain and blocked the portal entrance.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOM...*

"Continue," Athan spoke through his teeth, "we will move without attacking until we reach there and then release our most powerful attacks at the same time at the position on the beast's body that has the portal gate behind it.

"Sounds good," Komin and Lienia both nodded.

*SWOOOOOOOSH...*

They continued with their strongest defense without caring about energy consumption and blocked all attacks coming their way.

They dodged possible attacks, but when they were 5 kilometers away from the beasts, lightning bolts rained down on them.

"HOLD!" Athan gritted his teeth as he connected his activated Sanctuary of Void rune to his Abyssal Void whirlpool for sustained energy.

*ZAAAAAAAAAP..*
