Adrian suddenly realized that the expressions of the Twin Gods changed. He did not know why that happened as he did not receive the world message that an undead demigod was revived.
“The twin gods seemed to have frowned slightly before smiling back again. Has the war not been in the favor of the Undead King?” Adrian thought to himself as his mind wandered off.
“Champion Equinox…Champion Equinox…?” The God of Death stated as he waved his hands in front of Adrian’s face.
“Yes!” Adrian answered startled because he was snapped out of his daydream.
“As I was saying, Mortem needs to have protection as the elves did not a good job raising him. I am aware that you know where you need to take him?” The God of Death Abaddon stated as he gave Adrian a look of assurance.
“He would be safer with the Undead King but he would be safest in a church that venerates you. The remnants of the Church of Death must gather. The perfect place would be a region where the Undead King rules over. Well, the promising Envoy of the Twin Gods will handle that while I will just be the muscle as the Champion of the Twin Gods.” Adrian stated as he bowed to the twin gods.
“Mortem, my dear sweet innocent child. Remember that with your powers now normalized, you can now be apart from your sister but that does not mean your connection will be cut. Both of you are still kindred souls. Never one without the other.” The Goddess of Life Gaea stated as she gently caressed Mortem.
“You have to be strong brother! I will always communicate with you. When the Envoy of the Twin Gods and the Champion of the Twin Gods are strong enough to unite the Church of Life and the Church of Death, we will finally be together then so we must be strong.” Vitae stated with teary eyes as she proceeded to hug her brother.
“Wait! Did I just hear correctly about the fact that of uniting the church?” Adrian asked but he was cut off immediately by the Goddess of Life.
“Okay! The time you spent here I our divine realm has been more than enough and your bodies must already be straining. Off you go my children and have fun with life.” The Goddess of Life Gaea stated as she waved the three goodbye.
“Death is always near which means that I am always watching.” The God of Death Abaddon stated as he waved them back goodbye.
“That was a bit ominous.” Adrian stated as his vision blacked out.

Adrian’s consciousness finally returned to his body and the light coming out from his eyes and mouth is no more. Adrian gasped for air as he was unconscious for a good amount of time. His health was now half because no soul should be allowed to easily enter a divine realm for a long time. .𝒎
“Finally! Help me out here! We are in a bit of a pinch.” Levin Cloud shouted as he looked like a wreck from continuously using his skills.
“Mortem, are you fine now? Can you move by yourself or do you need someone to assist you?” Adrian asked the little kid.
“I think I can manage.” Mortem answered as he wobbled standing up.
“Uhmm…Less talking and more helping!” Levin Cloud shouted once more.
They were currently being attacked by fifteen elven sentinels and bombarded with elemental spells. Adrian seeing that they could not win with his current condition could only use Dimensional Teleportation to force themselves out of the pocket dimension.
“What are you doing? Anytime of the day would be nice.” Levin Cloud shouted.
“I am doing something for our escape. I need you to buy me some time.” Adrian shouted back but Levin Cloud only glared back.
Adrian started chanting his spell but this time he was feeling a resistance from the dimension itself. It seems that this pocket dimension is somewhat special despite being small in size. Sweat could be seen dripping from Adrian’s forehead as he tried to focus on breaching the pocket dimension’s space.
When Adrian could somehow feel that he can open a hole in the space, the hole suddenly shrank back to an inch despite trying to force his way out. Adrian might be an amateur but his control of the spatial forces is nothing to scoff at since he has been trained by Ascalor who is the best demon when it comes to space magic.
The barrage of attacks from the elven sentinels are now being tanked by Kanlaon as he is the sturdiest one of Adrian’s soulbounds. But being sturdy was not enough as even Saena and Levin Cloud were having difficulties healing him from the barrage of attacks.
Sirius tried to attack some of the elven sentinels but he is currently being surrounded by three of them. Sirius could not escape to the shadows because one of the elven sentinels is proficient with light magic. Sirius’ shadow magic is a subset of darkness magic which is why light attribute magic could oppose it. He had to rely on his physical abilities to evade and deal damage towards the elven sentinels.
Charon who was seeing this happen looked at itself and started to realize how useless he was at times like this. Since Charon was the recent addition to the family, the other soulbounds treated it as a younger sibling. It was always spoiled by the others as Sirius and the others would play with it every time they were summoned in a non-hostile environment.
The usual playful Charon who always exhibited a cheeky and mischievous attitude is finally self-reflecting. If Adrian knew of this then he would have congratulated Charon for this achievement of gaining more intelligence as it is a step towards evolution. Adrian read up on the forums that when common soulbounds gain intelligence then they will open a path towards evolution but it was no easy feat to pull off.
[Your soulbound Charon has gained the ability to think for itself in a deeper level.]
Adrian did not even notice the system notification as he was having a difficult time creating the portal they are going to escape to. Adrian then tried to sense all the energies that is trying to prevent him from ripping the space apart. He focused intensely and closed his eyes as he maximized his senses.
“Space…Time…Life…and Death energies!” Adrian stated as he suddenly opened his eyes from the realization.
The energy of life and death was so strong in this pocket dimension that it even overpowered the space and time element. Adrian just needed to tip the balance a little bit or use similar energies to force through his problem.
Adrian decided to use all his nether energy to rip the dimension apart as he enlarged his demi-gauntlets. Adrian poured all his nether energy towards his hands. Little by little, the small portal started becoming larger and larger until the size of a person could fit.
“Finally!” Adrian shouted as he cast another spell but this time on the side of the attacking elven sentinels.
“Quantum Repulsion!” Adrian stated and the steady elven sentinels shooting spells at them suddenly got pushed away from their positions.
This moment of reprieve was what those holding the fort needed as Adrian shouted for them to retreat as they are going out of this pocket dimension. Levin Cloud who was looking haggard did not stand on ceremony as he grabbed Mortem and went inside the portal. He did glare at Adrian before entering the portal to tell his best friend that he seriously owe him for this.
The other soulbounds followed but the elven sentinels started running towards their location as no one is keeping them at bay anymore. Adrian could not wait so he sealed his soulbounds quickly once they were near him. The elven sentinels saw their enemies become particles of light and just outside the prison is a demon.
“Halt Demon!” one of the elven sentinels stated but Adrian did not listen of course.
“I am out of here! Peace out!” Adrian stated as he made a funny face and flashed his middle finger towards the elven sentinels before diving back first towards the portal. The elven sentinels tried to give chase but the portal closed as soon as Adrian entered it.
