Chapter 222: Helpless Situation, Explosion

But, she decided to simply release that energy, turning it into an explosive. And, that was what was attacking the black mist currently.

But currently, due to the fact that she had already began utilizing a lot of energy during the first attack, then, this time, she was completely helpless. She was not capable of defending any attack from Smith, if he attacked at any moment now.

Olivia had already come forward, and was standing beside Sarah. She was worried about her, and, she did not really know what she was supposed to do right now. After all, she was not capable of dealing any damage to that black mist.

"Take the recovery potion. You have to recover your energy as soon as possible." Olivia said to Sarah. And although she was speaking to Sarah, her attention was fully focused on the black mist that was still roiling in the air.

Although she did not have a method of preventing the mist from attacking Sarah, but, she was not willing to abandon her. To her, Sarah was family. This bond had already been established during the start of the apocalypse, and, she was willing to continue making this bond last.

Adam had also come over. Currently, he had already exited his rage form, but still, he was looking at the black mist cautiously.

Sarah did as Olivia had suggested. Even she herself felt vulnerable, and that was a feeling that she did not like. So, she took out a recovery potion and gulped it down immediately.

The moment that she took the recovery portion, she felt the energy that was completely drained in her body beginning to recover. Although the speed was not that much high, but still, it was going to take her about 5 minutes to be able to recover to her peak condition.

Just as the group was looking at the black mist, they suddenly noticed that there was a change. The white light that was attacking the mist from within was finally consumed after consuming a large amount of the black mist.

Additionally, due to the fact that Sarah did not possess any energy in her body, then, she was not capable of supporting that light element that was attacking the black mist. For that reason, the light element was not capable of holding on anymore under the suppression of the dark element.

Then, finally, the screaming stopped. The black mist had suddenly been reduced into a very small amount, about 1/8 of the original size of the black mist.

Still, there was something that Olivia and the group did not understand. That was the fact that, although it was true that the Necromancer was capable of turning into a black mist, he was able to go back to having a physical body.

But, for Smith, after he turned into that black mist, he was not returning into his physical body at all. So, perhaps, there was something different about the skill that he possessed.

After realizing that the black mist was finally free from the light element, both Olivia and Adam got ready to attack. Currently, Sarah was not able to attack considering that ever since she took the recovery potion, it had only been a few seconds, less than 30 seconds to be precise.

So, although the energy in her body had recovered somehow, but, it was not enough. After all, although it might be true that the black mist in the air was not that much, but still, it was part of the body of a silver rank awakener.

So, no matter what, even if Sarah decided to attack and possessed an advantage over the dark element, but still, she was not going to deal that much damage to the black mist considering that the level of energy in her body was so low.

As expected, the black mist in the air did not give up. Instead, it charged direct towards the group. Then, Olivia, Adam, and Sarah both got ready for the attack.

Adam took a step forward, and tried attacking using shock blast. Since it was air that was being released during this attack, he hoped that it was going to be able to delay the black mist from reaching Sarah.

But, it was as if the wind that was produced by the attack did not have any effect on the black mist. It completely ignored it, then, it charged towards Sarah. It was clear that the target had not yet changed.

When Olivia saw this, she did not hesitate to attack as well. But, the same results occurred. The attack that she had launched simply went through the black mist, and other than the density of the black mist being reduced a little, there was no any other change that occurred.

Sarah also immediately released the small amount of energy that she had recovered. And, knowing that she would definitely not be capable of dealing with the black mist, she just surrounded herself with the light.

This time, she was taking a defensive stance. After all, she was the one that was at a disadvantage after all.

The moment that the black mist touched the white light that was surrounding Sarah, it began melting. In fact, the two of them began eating at each other.

Light that was surrounding Sarah began thinning down, and as for the black mist, it was also reducing. But still, it did not give up, but continuously surrounded Sarah.

And since Sarah was currently surrounded by the Black mist, Adam and Olivia could not attack. After all, their attacks would definitely just go through the black mist and hit Sarah, who was not capable of defending at this point.

So, they could only watch helplessly, hoping that Sarah would be able to do something. But, it was also during this moment that suddenly, Olivia thought of something.

Without hesitation, she took out the restoration pendant that she was wearing on her neck, and headed towards Sarah at an incredible speed.

This restoration pendant was capable of enabling a person to recover their energy fully. So, Olivia hoped that with the help of this pendant, Sarah would be able to recover her energy, in order to resist the black mist that was attacking her.

But, just after she arrived before Sarah, the black mist finally managed to completely eliminate the light that was surrounding Sarah. And in the next moment, it began entering into Sarah’s body.

Aargh!

Sarah screamed in pain. At this moment, she felt that the black mist that had penetrated her body was actually tearing it apart. It was actually trying to decay her skin as currently, her skin had already begun turning black.

Currently, she was experiencing intense pain. Additionally, due to the fact that she did not possess any energy in her body as she had utilized all the energy that she had recovered in order to defend, the black mist was unrestrained.

Additionally, due to the fact that she was actually a light mage, her body was also in line with the light element. So, the moment that it was touched by the dark element, it was actually beginning to get corroded.

And that was the reason why Sarah was screaming in agony. At this moment, Olivia put the restoration pendant around Sarah’s neck. Then, she hurriedly said, "Activate it immediately! It should be able to help you recover your energy!"

Although Sarah was undergoing a lot of pain, that did not mean that she had lost her mind. So, she heard what Olivia said. And without hesitation, without even thinking much about it, she focused on the pendant that was around her neck.

Although she was undergoing a lot of pain, she was capable of ignoring it. It was not as if this was the first time that she had suffered. After all, during the time that she was training under her father, she had suffered a lot more than this.

Activating the pendant was not that difficult. Since she was wearing it around her neck, it was somehow linked to her. So, the moment that she thought about activating it, it suddenly lit up with some light.

And in the next moment, she suddenly felt that her body had suddenly been reinvigorated. The energy that was completely drained in her body suddenly began recovering at an incredible speed.

And in a matter of just a few microseconds, the energy in her body was completely recovered. And, the moment that the energy was recovered, it immediately began acting against the black mist that was currently in her body.

The light element had the healing capability. So, at this moment, it began repairing the areas that had been corroded by the black mist that was in her body.

At the same time, it was fighting against the dark element that was continuously trying to corrode her body. And, due to the fact that Sarah was capable of manipulating the light element, she was able to direct the light to do as she wished.

Additionally, the light element was present inside her body. So, she was capable of controlling it way better than she could do during the time that it was inside Smith’s body.

Although it was a little difficult to control that energy in her body while at the same time experiencing pain, still, she was able to do it. And in no time, she was able to expel the dark element that was about to attack her vital areas.

But, it was also during this moment that suddenly, something else happened. The black mist that was currently inside her body congregated in one point, closer to her right chest. And in the next moment, it actually exploded.
