Chapter 39: Lets begin. (2/2)
She turned toward the beast territory, ”Impossible!” She exclaimed, ”It's the aura of a transcendental weapon in its creation process!” A thought suddenly jolted her mind. She glanced at Night who was looking in the same direction as her.
”('An interesting thing'? Is it that man's doing? Are you telling me that he has a soul potent enough to forge a transcendental weapon with only the materials of this world?)” She thought and her expression stiffened, ”(How much more monstrous do you want to become before you're satisfied?)”

Arima had successfully held for five minutes. When he released the barrier, Karma and all of the metals had condensed into a weird assembly of different colors. When the magma touched it, Arima forced the two to merge together with neutral magic. At the same time, Karma released the strange aura felt by Lilis and the whole volcano began to tremble.
The magma was being siphoned by the compressed amalgam of metals and a huge spiral formed in the middle of the magma chamber.
Arima was already feeling the exhaustion striking him. He was currently doing his best to manipulate the lava. He was directing it so that it would gradually heat and refine Karma. The huge metal block became red because of the heat and its form started to change.
Everything was going well until the shaking of the volcano became too strong. Arima's eyes narrowed. He urgently sent a message to the two beasts above.
**************************************
”'I can do it but I need time. Meanwhile, try to stop the excess of lava coming up'?” The T-Rex repeated the message out loud and looked at the dragon at his right. The latter instantly acted. He gathered his mana and spread it around the mountain.
”What are you doing old geezer?! Help me! You control the flow of mana while I conjure my magic!”
The T-Rex grunted, ”Fine!” He roared and strange tentacle-like things sprouted out from his body and were connected to the dragon's body.
”[Grow for me].”
”[Become a wall protecting the world].”
”[Earth confinement].”
The land dragon chanted and two huge walls of earth formed on each side of the crevasse which spanned for around three thousand kilometers. The two walls joined together and confined the crevasse.
”I hope you can finish it quickly because I can only keep this thing up for a day,” The dragon muttered when the first explosive magma reached the surface.
************************************
Arima continued to refine Karma, but because he realized he wouldn't be able to last for too long if he used his full power, he had to reduce the pace.
”(At this rate, I'll finish it in half a day or so.)”
After that point, it was just a matter of time. Arima kept refining Karma whilst the beasts restricted the partial-eruption.
Like that, twelve hours passed.

The next day in the morning, it was time for the prince to arrive at the spirit city. Although everyone could fell the shaking originating from the beast territory, it was going on for almost half a day already. It was also becoming weaker over time so people already got used to it and expected it to be over soon.
So, it didn't stop the prince from coming to see Vinia. The prince arrived in front of the huge mist dome with a pretty big escort. At least a hundred soldiers with each one them being at the fifth level at least.
Vinia had already opened a huge path to the inside of the territory and was waiting for the prince's arrival. When the latter stepped down from his carriage, Vinia walked to him with a smile.
”Welcome, Prince Drannoc,” She bowed and slightly lifted her dress to greet him. Her expression didn't reveal anything strange.
The prince laughed, ”I'm here. Did you finally decide to be mine?”
Vinia giggled, ”I wanted to talk to Your Majesty about that. Why don't you come in?”
The prince nodded, ”Surely,” He said and waved at his escort. He ordered them to stay outside but a beautiful woman wearing a dark dress and a cold expression stood at his side, ”She will accompany me. I'm sure you understand, right?”
”Yes. There's no problem,” Vinia nodded and began to lead the prince into the dome. Like with Arima, they first used the stone paver in the flower field before reaching the town. They directly went to the 'castle'. They passed by the park and entered the mansion. Vinia invited the prince to the exact same room Arima was left waiting last time.
When the prince and her guard entered the room, the latter immediately reacted and her eyes narrowed, ”Your Majesty, please stand back.” Her eyes were locked onto Night who was laying on the couch.
”What's wrong, Fayla? It's just a mere sixth level beast,” The prince frowned in displeasure.
”I'm afraid…it's not just a beast,” Fayla replied with a darkened expression.
Night jumped and landed in front of them, ”[Altera rationem terram] (Next Dimension Territory).”
The space distorted and Vinia disappeared from the room.
”What happened?!” The prince looked around in panic and Fayla's grabbed the handle of her sword.
Night inhaled and initiated his transformation. In just a few seconds, a black and red dragon was already standing in front of them, smirking. The ceiling was smashed because of his height. He wagged his tail and all furniture inside the room fell apart.
”Now…”
***********************************
At the same time, Arima grinned and viewed the giant magma sword in front of him.
”Well…”
************************************
””Let's begin.””
