244 Dont Die. (1/2)

The planet Night had transformed into a giant man holding a boulder finally finished the last the Pillar by crus.h.i.+ng him with his hand. When that happened, 'Atlas' came to a stop and stood straight with an empty look.

Night's eyes glowed and Ragnarök was dispelled. The planet returned to its original state. Ganesha sighed in relief and reverted back to a human from his elephant one. Raylein was also relieved as he started letting his body drift into s.p.a.ce.

”I'm tired…” They both muttered. The amount of mana they had used because of the 1000x burden had completely drained them. Even still, in the end, Night ended everything with a single technique.

”Come on. We don't have time. We still need to take care of the Pillars.” Night spoke as Karma appeared on his shoulder.

Raylein's expression darkened. ”We need to rest, seriously. I don't think I can partic.i.p.ate in another fight. You may have recovered your powers for only Arima knows the reason, but we didn't.”

Night shrugged. ”Then can you teleport me to the location Jorga gave us. I think you can do it more effectively than me. I'll take care of them by myself”

Raylein sighed strongly. ”Yeah, sure. I should have enough mana for that.” He was about to snap his fingers and send Night to another plane when a wave of a dark and very heavy aura suddenly pressured him. He s.h.i.+vered and he wasn't alone. Ganesha paled and even Night shuddered.

”There's no need for you to do that.” An eerie voice resounded in the void of s.p.a.ce and Karma gasped when she spotted the source of the voice. She was the first to see him and Night was next. ”I have already taken care of that for you.”

Night frowned as he observed the man. Gray skin, black hair, eyes, and clothes… If he had to compare him to someone, it would definitely be Karaskan. He was full of darkness… But there was a huge difference. The man in front of them seemed to be pure evil, in contrast to Karaskan who was more wicked than anything else.

One strange thing too was that this man did not have the size of the other beings in this world. He was a normal human being like you would find anywhere in their home reality.

”Who are you? And what did you take care of?” Night contracted his muscles and his scales glowed. Karma was ready to shapes.h.i.+ft as well. They were prepared to fight if necessary.

”My name is Erebus, the G.o.d of Darkness. I'm originally from your reality.” Erebus answered and smiled. ”As for your other question; I took care of them for you.” He uttered and waved his hand. Nine vortexes of darkness opened and spat out exactly the same number of heads. All of them were extremely large and were obviously those of this reality's natives.

Night's eyes widened. There was no doubt that those were the heads of the Pillars of Elysium. The remnant life force around them, as well as the divine energy of the Creators, could not be faked. The scariest fact was that it appeared that the nine of them had died at the same time without even being able to retaliate.

But what shocked Night the most wasn't actually that this man had killed the Pillars. What alarmed him was the fact that Erebus had actually the ability to travel realities. It meant that his power may very well approach Arima's and Ahura's level.

”…Where is the tenth?” Night inquired after a moment of silence.

Erebus smiled broadly. ”There's no point in worrying about that. I was the First Pillar in this reality. In the first place, I came here to train my mana pool. I guessed that it would be a great way to temper it if I'm in an environment which consumes a thousand times more mana. Then many things happened and I was a.s.signed as the First Pillar.”

”What do you want?”

”Nothing, really.” Erebus shrugged. ”At first, I was actually going to eliminate you. But when I noticed that one of the divine beasts was helping you and that you were unexpectedly a soul-beast. I figured it would be a very bad idea to not get on your group's side. I wouldn't want to confront the man who gave birth to a terrifying soul-beast like you.”

Night sharpened his look and breathed in. He gradually became a human again and stared at the G.o.d of Darkness. ”I do not wish to fight you either if I don't need to. Honestly, I don't think can beat you without a sacrifice.” He said and turned around. ”But if you want to help us, you only have one thing to do. Spread the name of the 'Kind Demon', Arimane Blade, throughout this reality. Engrave in the mind of everyone that he's the new ruler.”

Erebus tilted his head and mused. ”Interesting. A conquest, huh? But it doesn't seem like it's authority and power that you seek. Is there an advantage for that Kind Demon to be recognized by everyone?” He a.s.sumed and Night snorted.

”You don't need to know. And you better not try to find out. You're lucky that you met my group. If it was either one of the three others, they would have killed you. If I had to say, my group is the weakest. Malum, Layla, and Arima would have decided to kill you without hesitation.”

Erebus laughed. ”I'll welcome this luck happily then. But I'm quite curious now. I may pay you a visit later on.” He stated and bowed politely before disappearing.

Night clicked his tongue when he left. ”s.h.i.+t.” He cursed and his group turned toward him with strange looks. He glanced at the severed heads moving around and squinted. ”Let's go.”

He led his group back to the silver gate and ended up in the middle of the battlefield against the Téra. They were as disoriented as Jorga and Layla's team but soon recovered.

Another gate glowed at the same time. Malum and Shakti arrived as well. With this, everyone had returned except Arima, Flavio, and Chulainn.
