Kill Them

(Random Dark Sect Member POV)

It was pure madness.

The sealing orb that the Dark Cardinal of Deception possessed was supposed to be unbreakable. It was originally an artifact we managed to create after using a fallen god's essence as material for it.

It was designed to contain anything inside, even another fallen god who might have inexplicably regained their powers within it without much problems. It took us years to track down a fallen god, years to plan and take him down and decades to even know what to do with the divine essences he had left behind before we finally made the orb.

When the Cardinal had pulled Master Lin, who should have been nothing but a mere mortal Practitioner, into the orb, we thought that was it and we had won the day.

Sure, he was supposed to be the strongest Practitioner in this Plane but… If that thing could hold two cataclysmic class monsters without an issue, how did a single Practitioner make so much difference?
