68 Did You Think About It? (1/2)
Arima scanned his surroundings with his now purple eyes. With a never changing expression, he raised his palm and looked at it.
Above it, a silver light formed, it then became fire, lightning, water. Arima clenched his hand and destroyed the light. Then his body became shrouded with silver lightning.
”Silver, huh? So that's the final form?” He murmured and Lanya trembled, Night wasn't an exception. Arima's voice sounded like it came from another world, it was an extremely strange feeling.
Arima sighed and snapped his fingers, the sigil in his eyes that had not disappeared, revolved one more time and s.h.i.+ned.
Under the confused looks of Night and Lanya, the rocks and dust that were hovering in outer s.p.a.ce disappeared. Then, they suddenly felt the gravity coming back and looked below. The planet was slowly coming back, like it was coming out of an illusion.
When it fully reappeared, Arima just moved a bit and even with Night looking at him, he disappeared without any trace, and silently reappeared on the ground. Of course, Lanya and Night followed him.
Arima looked at the latter with his intimidating eyes ”Night, prepare yourself, once I release this, we'll suffer both an instant increase in life force, you better not lose control. Lanya, get away for a bit”
Just by Arima's words, Lanya was directly teleported away, there was no obvious chant, his sigil didn't move. Just his will to move her was enough.
Arima breathed out and a silver aura instantly enveloped him. His silver hair started to slowly crumble away and his eyes also returned to his usual silver color, quite ironically.
When Arima's appearance returned to normal and the silver aura vanished, both his and Night's aura exploded at the same time.
The latter roared, the sudden wave that struck him easily surpa.s.sed what he had prepared himself for. Even Arima groaned and almost fell on his knees.
The place they were in started to be bombarded by lightning and fire. Lanya, who was sent hundreds of miles away, still felt the repercussions.
It lasted for a good hour before the two auras calmed down. Lanya instantly deployed her wings and flew toward Arima and Night.
When she arrived, she saw that the earth was not burned, destroyed or anything. It was crumbling away continuously. Everything was transforming itself in particles that were leaving the ground and disappeared in the sky.
That phenomenon was only occurring in a fifty miles radius, and it was when Arima and Night did their best to restrain the power produced. If they had let it go wild, even thought it would be in the dimension, the whole continent would have transformed in these particles and disappeared from the map.
When Lanya saw them, she observed some changes. Night had become even smaller, he was now around ten meters tall, his horns grew longer, the mane that he had grown from his head to his tail was now even bigger, giving him a 'wilder' appearance.
On the other side, Arima's changes were more minimalist but there was something that really struck Lanya. His height didn't change at all not did his appearance, but something new appeared, a silver mark was s.h.i.+ning on his back. It looked like a crown surrounded by the eight elements then encompa.s.sed by a magic circle.
Arima also noticed that and took out his coat then his s.h.i.+rt, if we pa.s.s his body, certainly hardly trained and full of scars, on his back, the same mark was s.h.i.+ning with a silver light, then that same light dimmed and the mark became something like a white tattoo.
While Lanya was doing her best to not stare at Arima, the latter casually wore back his s.h.i.+rt and coat. The latter was not s.h.i.+ning anymore, but the mark stayed behind.
Arima clicked his tongue ”[Rest.i.tutio](Restoration)” He chanted and his coat deformed a bit for a second and the mark disappeared soon after.
”So? Can you explain what the h.e.l.l just happened?” When Lanya finally landed beside the two of them, Night asked ”What could make you go up to the fourth sky and me to the second?” He said and Lanya became shocked by the information.
Arima scratched his head with a tired expression ”When I fused the two spheres earlier, the explosion that resulted, I tried to restrain it as much as I could then it back fired on me” He explained ”Then I absorbed it somehow and I became like what you saw. I think that form is something that happens when you use that thing, let's just call Omni magic for now. Also, that mark on my back, maybe it's a proof that I can do it now” He said.
Night frowned ”Can you return to that form?”
Arima smirked ”I can” He said ”But in my state, I can only keep that form for around two hours” He said then looked at Night.
”What?” The latter exclaimed.
”Did you think about it?”
”About what?”
”What if we resonate, then I use the Omni form and after that, I use my death magic, we use the 'One thousand parade' and finally we break the limit to at least one hundred percent” Arima slowly listed.
Night and Lanya's eyes widened, and the former rubbed his eyes ”Don't talk about things so scary, seriously…But” He paused and smiled ”That's some idea you got there. The 'One thousand parade' was impossible before, but I think that we can do it now”
Lanya was left listening to them with a thunderstruck mind. She perfectly knew that these two were in a completely different world than her. But their conversation was still making her speech less. And at the same time, she felt hat she didn't really pertain to this group.
When Night returned to a small wolf form, he jumped on Arima's shoulder. The latter approached Lanya and patted her shoulder ”Don't worry about that, when you win against Velvet, I'll give you a method to break through the earthen realm” He said and brought her out of the dimension. They directly reappeared inside the Inn.
