&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Chapter 159:&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;Broadened&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;The orb Almoses created shot into the floor below them. The ground under the shadow realm, Almoses created, began to suck into the ground beneath them. Calum could hear the carpet and wood under them collapse. Falling deep down into a dark hole no one could see the bottom too. Almoses body began to develop despite this ability. The veins inside of his body popped out, into a sick purple color.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Are you going to stand there and not fathom my ability?&#x201D; Almoses asked. &#x201C;My raigun allows me to engulf objects in a black hole, within my shadows. They end up suffocating in the solid condense hole they fall into. You will not last much longer doctor.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Calum put on his mask. The emotionless reaction became a dignified focus on the battle. Calum postured his hands the same way as Almoses. &#x201C;Let it come to you. Let the energy surround my body.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Almoses chuckled in excitement. His ability gravitated towards Calum from the ground. The black hole ate past the floor closer to Calum. Calum stayed frozen, allowing the green aura around his body to continue to surface around him. His eyes remained shut behind the mask. A frost-bitten focus blocked out all the shredded wood torn apart, in front of him. His heart beat slower than a normal rate.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;The Rai infused into Calums body, and ran through his veins. Merging with his cells and bonding into stronger cells. The newly emerged cells poured out the green aura shooting out of his body. The energy resolved around his forearms, moving to his shoulders.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;I&#x2019;ll do it! Going further than anyone could imagine.&#x201D; Calum laughed. Almoses hesitated his attack, raising his shoulders up, unsure of what was to come.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Calum unleashed his two hands held together clapping them once more. &#x201C;Healers aura!&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;The energy from Calums body erupted to the outside. The energy froze the advancement of the black hole marching toward him. The feeling of three hundred great shields stopping the assault. Almoses became knocked off balance, due to the sudden eruption of the ground. The darkness surrounding them disappeared with a blinding white light. The fog from the floor, covering Calums feet from his heels vanished into the real shadows. A white fog replaced the darkness, forcing the beasts in the dark to fall.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;String light prison!&#x201D; Calum echoed. His eyes were fixated on destroying the evil in front of him. Representing the light, Calums ability fought against the darkness to shatter it from existence.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;The light around them, became four walls, a dense fog roof, and a floor. His eyes reflected the same light surrounding them now. A birdcage began to surround the shadow demon, who could not escape. Almoses body shivered in pain, from the tormented echoes of the light bearing down on him. He could not move into any shadows, as there were none in his vicinity.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Let the line shine the way to my victory!&#x201D; Calum resonated in midair. His knuckles spat out hundreds of mini strings, either surrounding Almoses, or attacking him. The strikes were well-timed and thought out. His entire offensive strategy came from a twenty-year chess master. Someone who knew the ins and outs of his opponent very well.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;You intend to trap the darkness, with that filthy excuse for a light?&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;This chamber is going to bind you and suffocate you the same way your black hole would.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;To think I would let you get an upper hand,&#x201D; Almoses stated. His hand flickered up into the air. He regained his poise just in time. Calum closed in on him. Almoses tongue slithered out, slimy and thrilled to hunt.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Darkness brushed out the mouth of Almoses, falling down a waterfall of shadows with it. The shadows moved to pass the light prison, throwing Calums focus back onto the defensive.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Oh no! He canceled out my prison, by creating his own type of warped shadows?&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Once again, your theories elude you closer to death, doctor!&#x201D; Almoses yelled out, commanding a dozen small, thrusting spears from the shadows to attack.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;It does not matter how dedicated I am to theorizing an attack strategy. Whatever I do, he will always counter it. The same can go for life. But&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Calum continued to let a downpour of thoughts scramble his brain. &#x201C;I knew at my current state, I would never beat him. So, taking him this far, maybe, could have been an achievement&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;In that same current state, Calums thoughts remembered something a person once said. Long ago, during a time of peace. When Calum accepted his role in this world at Yalti. Abrin&#x2019;s voice reappeared.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x2026;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;On a brisk, sunny day, the two sat in Calums hut. Abrin stood out on the deck, beside the twenty-foot-tall ladder, looking into the jungle. &#x201C;Oi. You know saving people is great and all Calum. I am just saying you are holding yourself back.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Hmph?&#x201D; Calum rose up slightly, treating a warrior from the Armlocke tribe.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;You have this incredible healing ability, using your body&#x2019;s cells to create healthy strings to heal people. Yet, you never look at how it can combat someone. If someone with your natural brilliance and physique had this ability, they could be unstoppable.&#x201D; Abrin stated, looking back to Calum.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Calum sighed taking off his mask. He finished the tribal member, before standing straight up. He cleaned off his utensils and looked utterly disappointed. &#x201C;Combat is past me&#x2026; I only wish to save people.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Maybe so&#x2026;&#x201D; Abrin alluded while climbing down the ladder. &#x201C;If you already manipulate your body to save people, manipulate it to protect them as well.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x2026;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;A dozen shadow spears will do!&#x201D; Almoses yelled out thrusting all twelve into Calums body.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;A large gut-wrenching collateral slice took a piece of Calums soul with it. One spear missed Calum entirely but shredded the side of his mask entirely. The plague mask fell off slowly, detaching the straps and pins. Calums eyes were in a state of shock and disarray. His body was numb and weakened to the utmost it has ever been. Not even his military days could compare to this pain.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Almoses looked on at the doctor, who now sat motionless. His body was bloodied to its core. He was losing pints of blood left and right. They were going away faster than a Christmas giveaway. Almoses took one last sigh to catch his breath. Finally, at the end of the battle, he could rest.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Calums eyes never shut. They stared at the shadow demon straight forward, but his vocal cords and nerves were destroyed. &#x201C;Broaden it&#x2026; broaden it. You are holding yourself back, dumbass&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Almoses reached out for the doctor, holding out his finger. &#x201C;I am still disappointed in you doctor. You never even used your raigun. Every person has one and that silly prison did not meet your strength. You hold yourself back. That brain of yours will get you killed someday.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Calums right eye filled with a large amount of blood turned it bloodshot. His body continued to drip blood. &#x201C;Oh yes&#x2026; I forgot my cells regenerate quicker than anyone else. I take longer to bleed out. An extra thirty minutes of suffering unless I pass out from these wounds.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Exactly then, Calums eyes lit up with something other than shock. The light bulb in his head went off. Einstein discovered the light bulb was something Calum appreciated the most in history.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;That&#x2019;s it&#x2026; I understand now, Abrin.&#x201D; Calum rejoiced. His own personal discovery felt heavier than Einstein&#x2019;s.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Almoses observed the bloodied Calum, who attempted to clap his hands together. The struggle and tear for his muscles to move created a pain no one could fathom. Jai and the others would stop Calum from this point. Luckily, this moment gave him the clarity, to go over the hump. Attempt another try to surpass his own limits.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Doctor. This is pitiful now&#x2026; I shall save you the suffering.&#x201D; Almoses called out shaking his head. He called for another shadow spear to impale Calum for good. &#x201C;But&#x2026; thank you for treating me to this show. I will close the curtains on this strange light you bear.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Rai&#x2026; - gun!&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Almoses as he fired his spear yelled out. &#x201C;Impossible!&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;

&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;A war that has caused a continuing rift between two worlds!&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Mysterious rifts open around the globe, transporting regular people to another world. On a normal day a teenage boy, Jai Marshall and friends are sucked in. The group is forced to serve as champions of the world. This sequence of events is not at random considering Jai&#x2019;s older brother Omar was formerly a champion of this world. Jai will do anything to ensure the safety of his friends inside a world where the unexpected is constantly broadened. Even though the group is equipped with ancient abilities from past champions, the task they have been given is a great mountain to climb. Can Jai and his friends survive this world?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
