Chapter 216 Let's Start The Great War
The underground hole that was originally filled with monsters suddenly became empty. The mana that sensed the presence of dragon prana within started to charge fiercely.
The scene that couldn't be seen with the naked eye occurred in the hole that the monsters had just left. The vortex of dragon prana formed by the five newly evolved orcs made the world feel tremble.
Mana does not remain silent, trying to destroy the foreign energy that threatens their hegemony in this world. But all of that was in vain, the mana vortex only became food for the dragon prana, devouring it until there was nothing left.
The mana vortex didn't give up and continued to attack the dragon prana vortex despite their efforts being in vain. The weather in the sky changed, the black clouds began to gather and swirl to form a vortex. Thunder and lightning danced on the clouds as if there was a parade in heaven.
An invisible tunnel forms above the hole and grows higher and higher until its peak pierces the black cloud. Its vast surface seemed to cover the entire Bog forest, making animals with sharp instincts shiver in fear.
Feeling the apocalypse that happened above their heads.
At the peak of the passage, there is a giant lotus flower with seven petals decorating the crown. From afar the passage looks like a trumpet with 3 parts. Mouthpiece, pitch, and horn sections.
The mouthpiece consists of two levels; the mouthpiece and the receiver. Four green figures were seen sitting cross-legged on the lotus, their clasped hands absorbing the dragon prana in the air, the lotus throne rotating rapidly beneath them.
The pitch section consists of three levels; 1st valve, 2nd valve, and 3rd valve. There was only one green figure visible, he was seated in the same posture and on the same lotus throne. He was at the 1st valve level, but his figure was much bigger than the other green figures.
The horn section consists of two levels; horn and bell. There was no green figure sitting in this section but the swirling dragon prana was much denser and pure.
This mystical phenomenon cannot be seen with the naked eye. Only those with an affinity for mana or spiritual organs like the inner eye were able to witness it. And for those who were able to witness it, only horror and awe filled their hearts after seeing what happened next.
The five green figures suddenly started rising up into the sky towards the bell level. The more they climbed the bigger their bodies looked, the swirling dragon prana seemed to become a ladder for their ascension, and the raging mana was like a calm river pushing them along.
Until the five green figures stepped out of the bell level they turned into five giant lotus flowers. The largest lotus flower is at the highest peak, below it are two medium-sized giant lotuses, and below it are two of the smallest giant lotuses.
Then the five giant lotuses moved slowly, then faster and faster until the dark sky grew even darker. Absorbs all the mana around them to become the food for the five green figures. The mana was rampaging, gathering, and attacking like mad dogs, but they only ended up being eaten.
Until...
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!
Mana explosion occurred.
Many times stronger than when the Arachnid Queen exploded. Makes the earth shake and the sky feels like falling. For those who could see it would be a bit of a relief to know what was going on but for those who couldn't see it would be a recurring nightmare.
Haunting their sanity until their souls realize that they are not alone in this world. Behind the cold mornings, bright afternoons, and dark nights there is an invisible battle between the energies that make up the world and its laws.
It's so hard to explain the battle between the mana and the dragon prana. It's like explaining the shape of the white color to a blind person. Even if they know it, that understanding will never be achieved throughout their lives.
That was how Gaht and the Level 4 and 5 Constellation Mages felt. They felt the sound of the trumpet shaking their hearts, but the words here were "feel" not "hear".
The only way to clear their confusion is to see it in person. Maybe when one of their senses can capture the information, their brain can simplify it so that it is easier to understand.
As if hypnotized by a siren's song amidst a stormy sea, Gaht and the mages used their fastest flying spells to dash toward the location of the mana explosion.
The air was split open as Gaht used his mana to propel his body into flight. This was a spell specially made for him, a spell that only the mighty Gaht, the strongest human in the world, could use.
Its body does not rub against the air until it is crushed or torn apart by other particles in its path. Using the mana contained in the light, Gaht manipulates his body structure so that he can adapt to speeds that exceed the normal limits of other mages.
Speed of light.
Gaht flew away leaving the mages behind him. The distance of hundreds of kilometers that must be covered in several days' journey, was exceeded in the blink of an eye.
However, Gaht is not the fastest.
Isn't light the fastest?
Nope...
The fastest is the space from the trajectory of the light.
And Abaddon is the master of space.
He is the laziest out of all his brothers but strangely enough, he is also the fastest. He was like a sloth capable of manipulating space with his every move. His wings seemed to fold space with each flap, and his eyes always looked sleepy like pegs for the range.
Maybe this is the reason why Abaddon is the laziest and always sleepy. Because for him all of this was too slow, so slow that he got tired of waiting for it to finish.
Gaht saw an alien creature that he had never seen the same thing as before in front of him.
The savage red eyes looked languid within the creature's tough and prickly skull, which made the creature look lazy. Several small horns in the middle sat on top of his head, just above his broad, pointed ears. Eight large wings grew, starting from the shoulders and ending at the lower end of its back.
Abaddon saw an alien creature that he had never seen the same thing as before in front of him.
Shoulder-length blonde hair almost covered his slender and worn-out face. Closed gray eyes, sunk in their sockets, Showing a life experience that no one can imagine. The slashing scar cut across his right cheek to his lips, making his blond beard look even more menacing.
Their gazes met, remembered, judged, weighed, then decided.
Gaht took out his sword which shone like the sun. Abaddon spread his eight wings making the space around his crack.
There is no need to talk, no need for a greeting, no need to seek more information, and no need to negotiate. The He in front of him already filled all the categories of 'The he' he was looking for. He is so perfect that it is impossible for any other creature to be able to match him.
So...
There is only..... Fight!
*BAAAAAAAMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
The world seemed to be turned upside down, the frictional power that had not even been released made it seem as if the sky was being torn apart. The mana around the two beings of the highest class went crazy, summoned to follow whatever the two people's hearts desires.
Destruction.
The laws of the world were destroyed, rebuilt, and destroyed again. Over and over again until it becomes a shape that should not be possible.
Domain… An ability that only a Level 5 Constellation Mage possessed was amusing to these two men. They didn't need to use limited space to form new laws. They are laws themselves.
Not in metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or in any other fancy way. They are the law straight up, and they fight using it.
Level 9 Constellation Mage.
The last mage tier ever recorded throughout the history of mana species civilization.
The newly arrived mages saw and felt the battle between the laws of the two men. The demon army that was not far from that place also felt it, they moved swiftly upon feeling the shift in the laws of the world.
Intervening in Gaht and Abaddon's fight was insane and beyond stupid. For those who weren't on the same level as the two individuals, then watching and making sure there were no outside distractions was the wisest decision.
Because of that, they chose their respective enemies. The two armies met and the battle began.
Moku cannot see all of this directly but the movement of mana and laws can be sensed by his Inner Eye.
"Is this the pinnacle power of a mage? The power of the rulers of this world?"
Moku looked down and saw his hands shaking. He knew what feeling was in his heart right now.
Fear.
"Why are you smiling?" came Nevare's raspy voice. Her throat was constricted and her teeth were chattering. Moku turned to his wife, seeing her face pale and her body shivering.
Moku touched his face, feeling his cheek muscles pull up. "Am I smiling right now?" he said.
"Don't you know the expression on your own face?"
"Hmm??? hehehe... hehehe.. HEHEHEHE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!"
"It's gonna be fun!"
