It was a shame that….
Even before they could rejoice in their sudden increase in strength, their power was extracted from their bodies as soon as it reached its peak!
One by one their powers came out of the bodies as beams of light and headed towards the temple.
In an instant their ecstacy turned to unbridled fear and they could only howl in fright as they tried to escape the light. But with their strength being continuously sucked out of their bodies, they could only rely on their legs to take them away as fast as they could run!
But they could not run nearly as fast as the light was expanding and in no time at all, the nightmare disguised as a golden dream had swallowed everyone in its path!
