Chapter 112 111. A Perfect Devil's Domain.
"How dare someone as insignificant as you, try peek into my consciousness." I said keep him busy while thinking about the unexpected gain.
"Ho!!! Finally! I have complete control over \'that\'!!!" I said to myself and jumped in joy before snapping out of it because of the loud \'boom.\'
BOOOOMMMM
"Oh.... But I can\'t use it..." I slouched forward with a glum expression.
\'I can only use it internally, for the time being...\'
\'and it seems like something is going on out, in the academy.\'
"Hmm.... But, what should I do about him?" I stared at Vassago who was trembling while kneeling with his head down.
"I am the devil!" Vassago roared angrily, which couldn\'t possibly reach my ears if I wasn\'t the one hearing him, hmm... Our situation is analogous to an ant attempting to communicate with an extra-terrestrial being.
"Ho! Hahaha." I chuckled, enjoying myself at his utterly useless pride.
"You, pfft, why do seem so proud when you are shivering so much? Hahaha." I chuckled after I made it so that he can\'t hear me, which just required a thought to do so.
"I\'m not killing him just because Vinny, too, will die if I kill him now as they seemed to have merged..... Meh, who knows how and why." I pondered and stopped myself from thinking too much about it.
"He used his authority completely, hmmm... Vinny is a good boy, I\'ll feel bad if I had to kill my own boy, Katline and the others will be sad too...."
"Should I show him what a \'Devil\'s Domain\' is? If he could learn properly, Vassago will be helpful if I need him...."
"How amusing! Let me show you how a \'Devil\'s Domain\' really looks and how it feels to be insignificant." I said with a wide grin and reached out my arm, piercing through the sky to reach Vassago.
"Partial Devilization."
***
"How amusing! Let me show you how a \'Devil\'s Domain\' really looks like and how it feels to be insignificant." The being said and his voice resounded from everywhere.
"Uck!??" Vassago was dumbfounded when he heard about the domain.
\'Devil\'s Domain\' is only available to higher-ranking \'Demons\' or \'Devils,\' and only after they have awakened their respective \'Authority.\' Inside their domains, devils are nearly invincible, and their domains could also be referred to as \'Devil\'s World,\' which is created based on their nature, mind-set, and desires.
"Urg!?" The pressure that had been pressing down on him suddenly dissipated, but the streak that Vassago could feel remained, which was caused by the being\'s presence.
"Gr, uckh!" Vassago groaned and somehow managed to lift his head to look at the being. He felt his presence above him, so he looked up at the sky and froze in horror when he saw a humongous crystallized light blue, almost transparent, hand descend while ripping apart the clouded blue sky.
RUM-RUMBLE (2x)
The hand had claws instead of fingers, and everything was almost transparent as it blended with the sky. Pale purple mana threads popped out from the tips of the claws, each as big as Vassago, and its mana usage would be massive, but the being didn\'t seem to get fatigued or care how much mana was spent.
SHWOOSH
Vassago could feel a completely different type of mana in those threads, mana he had never felt before.
A mana core contains the attributed mana, which is used when the core holder employs a magic of a specific attribute; the most frequently used attribute becomes the nature of the mana core. As the basic attributes, fire is destructive, air and water are calming, and earth is strong. There are two more types of attributes: branch attributes and unique attributes. Black magic, which is also destructive, and light magic, which is creation magic, are both unique attributes.
The being, too, had a unique attribute; it was cold and calm, which Vassago had never seen before, but now it had changed; it felt more destructive and calming at the same time, which baffled Vassago, because, while the \'colour\' of the mana core had yet to change, its nature had already changed.
Each pale purple mana thread connected to the black ground, which had previously been blanketed in white snow. Vassago felt himself being dragged somewhere, his vision blurred before he could even figure out what was going on, he blinked once, and the world around him had already changed.
*
There was nothing, absolutely nothing. Vassago looked down at him to see if he could see himself, and he could, he could only see himself and nothing except that as there was nothing, he looked around and tried to move, but...
"You are here." A hoarse voice rang from everywhere.
Vassago halted in his steps and looked around in horror.
"Come here." The voice rang again, but this time Vassago was being dragged somewhere, everything seemed black, and he couldn\'t sense anything, not even mana, except his own body.
WHOOSH
He looked down and noticed dark purple patches which increased in numbers and size the more closer he got, he raised his head and saw two different structures.
One was a massive ring-like circular, still ticking golden clock with five hands: the first displayed seconds, the second displayed minutes, the third displayed hours, the fourth displayed days, and the fifth displayed years, with the time displayed as [06s: 29m: 11h: 296d: 1669y].
It had two dark purple core-like giant spheres, one in the centre and the other at the right bottom from the centre, and it had many gears installed in it, with at least a hundred gears turning before a second passed.
It had a diagonal cut on it, which was slashed through the dark purple core-like giant spheres, though it seemed like it would fall apart any movement, but it was still ticking and if observed properly there were giant glaciers holding the clock in place and a single gear around the dark purple sphere in the middle had frozen which had stopped something, but Vassago didn\'t know what and he got curious about it before glancing at the next structure.
When he gazed at the next structure, his mind froze for a split second; it was all too familiar to him, but it still seemed entirely different, and even though it had turned to face a different direction, he had just been there, it was.....
EARTH.
