54 …Oops (2/2)
”I can only take the life force of those below level ten, I think” Arima mumbled and his custom circle started spinning, the runes on it also started moving in a strange way.
At that moment, a ma.s.sive amount of life force resurfaced and integrated with the magic circle. This time, everyone felt it, the life force of around ten thousand people, condensed together. Of course, it would be sensed. They all looked in fear at the sky, fearing that it would take their life force too.
Arima eyes glowed strongly, the star in his eyes started turning crazily. The circle kept becoming bigger and bigger. After a minute, the circle already took the sky of the entire demon city. That phenomenon wasn't omitted by the power houses of this continent.
The Demon King looked silently at the sky with a smile on his face.
The Elven Priestess also observed from afar.
Rex, Hieran and Evergreen easily recognized who could do something like that.
While the last power house that Arima didn't met, the Vampire Lord, was looking too from the monster territory.
The life hunting circle seemed to never stop his work, his size already recovered an area a thousand miles diameter. Even Arima was surprised by the result, he looked at the sky and whistled.
”That's big” Night commented and Lanya nodded strongly.
Arima scratched his hair ”Actually, as the circle was growing bigger, I thought that I could take the life force of every criminal I found by looking into their darkness and it became scarier than I expected” He said and laughed wryly before looking one more time and the circle in the ”…Oops” He silently exclaimed.
”You don't have time to regret! Quickly! Stop this thing!” Night shouted ”At this rate, it'll take the life force of every slightly bad people!” He hastened Arima
Arima forced a cough ”[Altera rationem terram]” He chanted and immediately set up a dimensional connection.
He looked up and stared at the giant circle. He raised his palm to the sky ”[Veni ad me] (Come back to me)” The whole circle started spinning like a wheel until it became a whirlpool that was siphoned into Arima's hand. It took around five minutes for the whole thing to be absorbed.
After it finished, Arima fell silent and froze in the same position. His eyes were closed and his expression, not that good.
”Hey, Arima…” Night called and only received a signal from Arima to be silent. It lasted for a good ten minutes. During that ten minutes, Night began to understand what was happening thanks to his own body, his strength was increasing at a terrifying rate. He too had to concentrate on controlling the flowing energy entering him.
Arima then breathed out and sat down ”…It's over” He uttered ”I received much more life force than I thought” He said while he was till trying to control the strength in his body.
Lilis's expression was twitching nonstop ”Arima, at which level are you right now?” She asked
Arima pondered for a moment ”If I take reference on what you explained me, I should be around the peak of the first sky” He said and Lilis almost suffered a breakdown.
”He raised an entire level in just half an hour” She mumbled in shock.
”Well, with that said, sorry, but I will like to have a day before leaving to the Main Land. You can do what you want meanwhile” Arima said to Lanya and Lilis ”But don't you dare be late when we're supposed to leave” He then uttered with an almost cold voice.
Night also jumped from Lanya's arms and turned back into a dragon before sitting down too.
Lilis sighed ”Let's go Lanya, we have time to spare” She said and disappeared from the dimension. Arima already set this place to let them go in and out freely.
”See you tomorrow” Lanya said to Arima and Night, then also left.
*******************************************
Twelve hours later, Arima stood up and practiced his body a bit. He also played a bit with death, s.p.a.ce and time magic.
”You finished refining it?” Night asked
”Yeah” Arima smiled and then eight spheres of different colors formed above his palm. When he looked at it, Arima grinned ”I did it” He said
Night glanced at the spheres of magic ”So you finished absolute dominance over all elements, huh?” He commented
”Yes, the main reason I wanted to steal the life force of those criminals was because of this. Now I can try something I wanted to do for a moment now” Arima said and conjured eight other spheres of each element, but these were a lot bigger than the previous ones.
He flicked his fingers and every sphere fused with each other to create a rainbow sphere that only lasted for a few seconds before exploding. Arima of course protected himself and dispersed the smoke.
”…I see, if you succeed, that would be extremely scary” Night said after he saw what Arima just did.
”Well, I'll try” Arima said and then resumed his small experiment.
The next day, Arima called back Lilis and Lanya to leave the continent. Fortunately this time, Lilis seemed to have spared him of waiting an hour before leaving.
