Both brothers noticed the changes in Krune and Feifei and felt that the situation had become more dangerous than ever.
Fian knew that any other second there would end up in his loss. Even if fleeing was not possible, he at least had to try. Unfortunately for him, it was too late.
"Myriad Tribulation Water Ice Dragons"
"Blazing Tribulation Wind Blades"
Krune finally started to use other elements instead of only his Tribulation Lightning.
Fien's situation wasn't any better. Just as he tried to flee as well, he noticed that everything around him changed!
"Let's try this new attack of mine, then. It pales in destruction power like Krune's, but I'm confident that its trapping ability is definitely above any of his. You should enjoy it while you can, this attack was only possible to be used thanks to the Flow Law from the Water Laws that I recently understood."
"Blue World!"
Feifei's attack didn't target Fien alone. Her skill instead covered their entire base! The bandits that had been watching the battle until now immediately understood that things went south. They tried to leave Feifei's Blue World, but it was useless. It was as if they were trying to move against a raging river.
"What is happening here? I can't leave this place!"
"Attack the barrier. Focus your attacks on a single point!"
"It's not working! Our attacks are passing through as if nothing is stopping them. Still, we can't move out at all!"
"Since that's the case, let's attack that girl! I refuse to believe that she can deal with all of us together!"
Like bandits, they were obviously selfish. So until now, they hadn't given any help to the two bosses since they could get hurt or even killed. But now that everyone was going down together, they finally decided to act as a group.
Feifei smiled and then started to release even more Spiritual and Elemental Source energy.
Suddenly, several water attacks started to come from everywhere inside the Blue World. Water blades, dragons, pressure, whatever water attack one could think of, they could probably find it inside Feifei's Blue World. That also included defensive ones like the water wall and water frame.
Krune looked at that and couldn't help but remember Lian Casfiu back in the Mercenary Competition.
'It looks like the Domain that Senior Lian used. Still, I can feel it's not quite the same. It hasn't reached the level of a domain yet. But I'm impressed, Feifei was able to do that with her understanding of the Flow Law alone.'
Krune had already finished on his side. Just like he commented before, he did not kill Fian, only destroyed his cultivation. But he wasn't paying attention to him anymore. At the moment, he was only looking at Feifei's Blue World.
'I see, she doesn't intend to create a domain from that to start with. She is just copying what she knows about them. That is a very good idea, indeed. This way, she can picture what her future one will be and get more ideas for it.'
That mess continued for another minute when, finally, every single bandit in the base had their cultivations destroyed. Feifei knows how much Krune hates to kill, and it started to more or less affect her as well.
That Blue World then disappeared, and Feifei came back to Krune's side.
"I guess this is all, right?"
Krune nodded.
"Indeed, we have accomplished what was asked from us."
Krune then looked at the time and said.
"Let's go back to the teleport formations. The time for our one to be activated is getting close, but we should be able to arrive there before that. We can report the mission conclusion to the Mission Hall when we arrive in the next Planet."
Fian and Fien were nearby, but Krune and Feifei seemed to not care about the fact that they were being heard.
Feifei nodded, and they gathered with Ruik, Dilo, and Tiane. They didn't have any reason to stay either, so everyone immediately left.
Not long after, a man with white hair appeared in the local. He then spread his Divine Sense and soon found Fian and Fien. He could feel that both of them were still alive and immediately rushed over to help. After feeding each of them a healing pill, he noticed that their cultivation was gone.
"Father..."
His name was Fink Jural, a Middle Stages Soul Forging Realm cultivator.
"Don't say anything, just let the healing pill treat your bodies."
A few minutes later, the two brothers finally could talk properly again. Usually, they would use a Divine Sense message to tell everything that happened in a second. But now that their cultivation was gone, they also lost the ability to use Divine Sense. In the end, they could only talk like any ordinary person.
"Two Core Formation Realm youngsters reduced you and all your subordinates to this state?"
Both brothers nodded. They then proceeded to explain how the battle occurred. The more their father heard it, the higher was his surprise.
"Just what kind of monsters are those two? They could even use laws while in the Core Formation Realm. Such geniuses were supposed to have amazing backgrounds. Why would they come here to deal with the two of you? That doesn't make any sense!"
Fien then remembered something.
"I know why. Before and during the battle, they commented that we were being used to practice their new skills. It seemed like they had just understood a law, and wanted to put it to test. From what I heard after the battle, it seemed like they found us through a mission from the Mission Hall. Also, it seemed like they aren't from our Planet to start with. They are just passing by."
Fink thought the situation to get even more dangerous. Since they didn't mind concealing their voice, it showed that they weren't afraid of someone coming for revenge either. He is, after all, just an elder in a nearby kingdom. Geniuses, like them, would definitely have terrifying backgrounds!
Fink reached the position that he has at the moment through knowing who he can and cannot provoke. His instincts were telling him that he might bring a calamity upon himself if he really tried to get revenge. He is almost 100% sure that those two definitely have protective measures. Something that would probably make it impossible for him to do anything to them.
He looked at his two sons and then sighed. There would be no point in moving out just do die or become a wanted cultivator from a big power.
"I should have stopped you two from acting like you did when I had the chance. But it seems like I have grown relaxed after becoming an elder. Because of that, you two ended in this state. Still, you two are only 26 and 29 years old. Different from me, you two really have high talents. In this Dalin Universe, I have no doubt that you can cultivate from zero once more."
Fien and Fian were taken aback.
"Are you not going to avenge us?"
Pow!
Fink then hit both his sons' heads and rebuked.
"Are you trying to kill me? Think better before spouting nonsense. Those two talked about what they were going to do and where they are going. Do you really think that geniuses like them have no one protecting their backs? Two Core Formation Realm that can use Laws! Tell me, if you two were elders in a sect, clan, or whatever that had geniuses like those two, would you let them adventure outside without anyone protecting their tails?"
Fien and Fian immediately dropped their heads. Indeed, chances are that their father would die instead of getting the revenge they wanted. If that happened, then they would really be done for. For now, they can still have his help to cultivate again, but if even that disappears...
"Sorry, father. We were wrong."
Fink nodded, satisfied.
"Let's go back. Once you two fully recover, you will start cultivating straight away. You two had achieved the Divine Soul Realm before, so your path should be a lot easier since you aren't old. Be thankful to lady lucky that you two are still alive."
"From now on, I don't want to hear that you went outside abusing your power. Unless, of course, you want something like this to happen again. It is obvious that it was the enemies that you two gathered during your time playing as bandits that brought this upon yourselves. Worst of all, the request was sent to Mission Halls far from our Planet. Otherwise, I could use my connections in our kingdom's Mission Hall Branch to find out who did it."
"Since that's the case, there is no doubt that your enemies are still out there, in the shadows. I hope you two aren't dumb enough to venture outside with shabby cultivation just to get killed by them."
Fian and Fien's expressions immediately changed. Only the two of them know just how much hatred they gathered during these years of bandit life.
"We are going to play it low from now on, father."
Fink nodded and disappeared in the distance with the two brothers.
As for the other bandits that had their cultivations destroyed, Fink couldn't care less about them. So they only had themselves to help.
