Combined Power

"Master Frostfire, wouldn't it be better for us to try the technique of combining our energies again and channeling it to the child?" Master Rylan asked Master Kaelen Frostfire.

"We could give it a try! But I doubt that method would work. Especially considering that the sword of light belongs to someone from the Blackthorn Family. Even though the combined power of the four of us might only reach the second realm of semi-god spirits, our enemy is in the fourth realm, and might even have reached the fifth realm," Master Kaelen Frostfire replied.

All the Masters present agreed with Master Kaelen Frostfire's opinion. However, they also said that it wouldn't hurt to try rather than waiting for death. Because their options at the moment were only two: to win or to die at the hands of the enemy. With the warrior spirit possessed by the Masters of the Tower of the Gods Academy, they couldn't just leave their students to fight desperately to defend their academy.

"We should try once more to combine our techniques and channel the sacred energy to Julius. Who knows, perhaps miracles will favor the young man again. Rather than waiting here for death, it's better to fight, even if it means risking our lives," Master Rylan said again.

All the Masters seemed to agree with Master Rylan's decision. They rallied with enthusiasm, disregarding any danger that awaited them. With a single movement, the Masters deactivated the protective seal they had previously activated.

"Hahaha... you all have the courage to deactivate the protective seal and appear here. Do you think this inexperienced brat can defeat me, so you confidently stand by his side?" said the right-wing commander of the Demon Sect when he saw the senior Masters and several assistant Masters behind Julius.

"Don't pay attention to his rambling, Julius! We'll assist you by combining our techniques again. Try to use that power to fight him," Master Rylan said.

 Julius nodded. The Masters then prepared to combine their energies as they had done before. Julius himself prepared to receive the energy channeling. He didn't want to faint again because he couldn't handle the energy channeling. Yet, it could be said that it was the only better option to try to defeat the opponent.

The Masters successfully created the energy combination seal. The seal was then written on Julius's back as the conduit. Then the three tower head Masters plus Master Rylan performed the energy combination technique, while the other Masters stood guard.

However, Caspian Hond didn't seem worried about what the people from the Tower of the Gods Academy were doing. On the contrary, he seemed to allow what the senior Masters were doing. As if there was no concern whatsoever about the strength possessed by the opponent. It seemed that the confidence of the right-wing commander of the Demon Sect was truly high. He was very confident that none of them would be able to summon a God capable of defeating him.

The combined power had been formed. The power was directly linked to Julius's body, which had been marked with the seal by Master Rylan earlier. The young man immediately felt a wave of extremely powerful energy entering his body. He used that power to cultivate briefly before using sword techniques to attack.

"Haaaaa!"

 Julius yelled loudly. In a short time, utilizing the flood of energy entering his body, Julius cultivated and successfully advanced one level. Now the young man was in the eighth realm of Heavenly Spirit. He intended to break through to the next level again, especially since Caspian Hond seemed relaxed, waiting with a disdainful expression.

"Why are only the four of you combining your powers? Why not involve the other Masters as well? Is it because they're still inexperienced and useless? Even if ten people like you combined your powers, you wouldn't be able to defeat me!" mocked Caspian Hond.

Caspian Hond's words made the Masters of the Tower of the Gods Academy who weren't participating in the energy combination technique feel belittled. However, they also knew that the right-wing commander of the Demon Sect was deliberately playing on the emotions of the Masters. Yet, he must know that only those who were at least at the ninth level of the semi-Fairy Realm could perform the energy combination technique. While most of the assistant Masters were only at the semi-Fairy realm.

But for Julius, the combined energy given by the four senior Masters was more than enough. Because if it were more than that, he worried that his physical body wouldn't be able to withstand such great power. If that happened, it wouldn't be an advantage for the Tower of the Gods Academy but rather a disaster for Julius. Because it was certain that the young man would die due to his physical body being unable to withstand the immense power entering it.

 Julius attempted to cultivate again, but this time he was disappointed because his physical body couldn't handle the cultivation. If he forced it, his body would feel like it was going to explode because it couldn't support the sacred energy from the ninth realm of the Heavenly Spirit cultivation. Although he failed to cultivate, Julius had no intention of backing down from facing his opponent.

Julius resorted to using the Thunder God Sword technique to break the universe once again. He immediately thrust the shadow of the sword in his hand towards the right shoulder of the right-wing commander of the Demon Sect. Swiftly, Caspian Hond dodged the attack launched by Julius. He was also momentarily surprised when he felt the power of the attack unleashed by the young master from the family. He almost got into trouble for underestimating his opponent.

Caspian Hond increased his energy deployment. As the power of the right-wing commander of the Demon Sect grew, the strength emanating from the sword of light in his grasp became even stronger. Now he wasn't just waiting for the opponent to attack but was also actively engaging in attacking. Initially, it seemed like their situation was balanced, but as the fight progressed, it became clear that Caspian Hond was gaining the upper hand.

Blaammmmm!

An explosion occurred as the force of the Thunder God Sword technique's attack directly hit the body of the sword of light held by Caspian Hond. The right-wing commander of the Demon Sect was pushed back several steps due to the impact. Meanwhile, Julius was thrown back dozens of spear lengths. This situation not only affected Julius but also the Masters who had channeled their power into him.

The Masters of the Tower of the Gods Academy who had bestowed their power upon Julius were also thrown from their positions. Even with such tremendous force, they were still overpowered by the key figure in the Demon Sect. Meanwhile, Julius's condition was even more pitiful; his body was thrown and slammed onto the ground very harshly. Fortunately, Julius didn't immediately faint from the collision.
