Chapter 106 Escaping the Illusion
Kara's lips curled into a slight smile, her eyes gleaming with greed and cunning. She then lowered her voice and said, "Once we successfully absorb their spiritual power, our status in this universe will be unmatched, and our strength will increase exponentially, reaching a new level. Especially Gohan and Sho Yun; their spiritual power is like the finest, most concentrated wine, the most powerful and pure. If we can acquire it, the taste will be indescribable, and the improvement it will bring us will be enormous."
Moll nodded thoughtfully, a hint of caution in his eyes, and replied softly, "Indeed, but we must not let our guard down. That Bulma may seem weak and insignificant, but she's far from simple-minded and full of tricks. We must keep a close eye on her to prevent her from noticing anything amiss. After all, once she discovers our plan, given her intelligence, she might come up with a way to sabotage it, and that would be troublesome."
However, Kara and Mor were completely unaware that Bulma, out of curiosity about how they summoned Shenron, had focused all her attention on them. In addition, they hadn't paid much attention to Bulma, so she heard their sinister conversation clearly.
Bulma felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. A chill ran through her as she instantly realized the gravity of the situation, far exceeding her expectations. Her heart pounded wildly, as if it would leap out of her throat, and her palms were clammy with cold sweat as she gripped her clothes tightly. Bulma thought to herself, "Oh my god, this whole quest, this whole collection of the Dragon Balls, was a complete scam! We've been utterly fooled by these two! I must find a way to wake everyone up immediately, or if they succeed, we'll all be doomed."
Bulma, suppressing her fear, moved cautiously, each movement as gentle as a breeze, afraid of attracting the slightest attention from Kara and Mor. Her eyes scanned her surroundings rapidly, searching for anything she could use to break the stalemate. Suddenly, her gaze fell upon a rock not far away. Bulma held her breath, slowly reaching out to grasp the rock tightly in her hand. Then, with all her might, she quietly tossed the rock into the distance. The rock arced through the air before landing with a soft "thud" in a thicket of bushes, making a slight thud and a slight tremor. Bulma nervously watched Kara and Mor, silently praying that this small act would distract them, buying her enough time to awaken her companions trapped in the illusion and reverse the dangerous situation.
Kara and Mor heard the noise and turned around alertly, but saw nothing except the slightly swaying bushes. Just as they were about to turn their attention back to the group, they caught a glimpse of Bulma, who had regained consciousness, and were immediately horrified. The next second, their bodies began to twist and swell, emanating an eerie aura, and in the blink of an eye, they revealed their true forms.
Bulma's eyes widened in horror, and she involuntarily took a few steps back. When she looked closely, a chill ran down her spine. These two looked exactly like the monsters depicted in the cave murals where they were searching for the fifth Dragon Ball! The twisted and grotesque lines on those murals now clearly corresponded to the ferocious figures of Kara and Mor.
"What...what kind of monsters are you?" Bulma asked in a trembling voice. Despite being filled with fear, her eyes remained fixed on the enemy before her, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
Kara and Mor didn't answer, only letting out a chilling growl. Then, black tentacles shot out from their transformed bodies, slithering towards Bulma like dancing pythons. Bulma frantically turned to run, only to find her escape route blocked by an invisible force.
"Help... Someone save me..." Bulma cried out in despair, waving her hands in vain in front of her, trying to stop the ever-approaching tentacles. But her resistance was so insignificant in the face of Kara and Mor's overwhelming power; the tentacles easily bypassed her arms and wrapped around her body. Bulma felt a cold, sticky force tightly binding her, her body gradually becoming numb, and her mind beginning to wander.
"No... let me go..." Bulma's voice grew weaker and weaker, her eyes filled with despair.
Just as Bulma was about to give up, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from behind. It was Shang Yun, who broke free from the illusion at the critical moment, sensed Bulma's danger, and instantly unleashed his full power with the "Double Vajra Prajna Force".
"You two despicable bastards, how dare you hurt Bulma!" Shang Yun roared, his body radiating golden light, like a star fallen to earth, as he charged towards Kara and Mor with boundless rage.
Seeing Bulma tightly bound by Kara and Mor's tentacles from afar, Shang Yun was consumed by rage. Without hesitation, he unleashed "Zen Intent - Elemental Shield Slash." At that moment, a fierce wind, carrying sand and gravel, swept in, nearly knocking him off his feet. However, his feet remained firmly planted on the ground, and his hands moved swiftly and precisely, his true energy surging and gathering in his palms like a turbulent tide. In an instant, eight dazzling elemental shields appeared in his hands. Shang Yun roared and hurled the shields against the wind with all his might. The shields spun rapidly, emitting a deafening buzzing sound that mingled with the howling wind. Wherever they went, the tough tentacles were severed like broken branches, black sap splattering everywhere and emitting a nauseating stench. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bulma broke free from her restraints, fell to the ground, and scrambled behind a boulder to avoid the wind. The sand and dust stirred up by the gale made her cough incessantly.
Shang Yun's figure flashed, appearing before Kara and Mor like a ghost, and he launched an attack. Each of his punches was accompanied by a whistling sound, his leg techniques were fierce and varied, kicking and sweeping, leaving afterimages in his wake. At the same time, he unleashed his powerful mental energy, transforming it into invisible mental shockwaves that surged wave after wave into Kara and Mor's brains. This mental energy was like materialized arrows, carrying a sharp whistling sound. Kara and Mor initially did not take Shang Yun's mental attacks seriously, but soon they felt the pressure. Their expressions contorted, as if they were enduring immense pain, and the rhythm of their attacks was disrupted.
