Chapter 47: To destroy you obviously. (1/2)

Lanya and Karia were overwhelmed by the sudden killing intent and fell on their knees. Night glanced at them and used his own spirit so protect them the best he could.

The room they were in had already collapsed and the sky was visible from the inside. Fortunately, it was the highest floor or else the entire building would have been destroyed.

Many guards were already rushing there to see what was happening. But most of them couldn't even get close as they fainted or fell on the ground, unable to move.

A light flashed through Arima's eyes and he gritted his teeth. His slaughter intent was retracted in an instant. He managed to restrain it before it could spread further. He closed his eyes and his aura began to return to normal. Night and Lilis were silently observing without even trying to hide the confusion on their expressions.

It wasn't long before Arima sighed and his aura totally dispersed. He looked around the room and clicked his tongue. He took a step and forward and stamped on the floor. A wave of mana leaked out and the debris started to float. The stone and wood were reforming themselves and the walls and roof were being reconstructed. The furniture was repaired and even the cracks were being forcefully closed as if they had never existed in the first place.

Arima waved his hand and grabbed a chair that instantly reformed in mid-air for him. He then put it down next to the table and sat down. The room was restored to an even better state than before.

Karia watched in awe, ”(What kind of control is this…)” Her eyes widened, then she recalled something and hurriedly left the room to deal with the unrest happening outside.

Lilis questioned Night with her eyes and the wolf only shrugged in ignorance. She looked at Arima and similarly grabbed a chair to sit beside him, ”So? What happened?”

Arima sighed, ”My bad. I lost control for a bit… There's something I want to ask you. That Seed of Chaos; can it work in a world without magic-circuits?”

Lilis lowered her head and mused, ”…yes and no. To be fair, a world without magic-circuits is not a world that can't accept magic but a world that can't generate magic. Basically, it can't provide mana or alter the human body.”

”But an already magical-being that goes inside that world can keep using magic as long as they have mana in their body; in their soul. But after expending it all, they'll never get it back. It's the same thing for the Seed. It can work in a non-magical world but only temporarily.”

Arima stayed silent for a while, and so did everyone else in the room, even after Karia came back. They felt like if Arima didn't talk, they shouldn't even mutter something. It was an extremely oppressing feeling.

”That god…where is Karaskan now?” Arima inquired with a suppressed anger in his voice.

Lilis glanced at him, ”Still in Heaven. As I said, Heaven is infinite. It's nearly impossible to find someone who wants to hide. Especially a god with a Dark Emperor Constitution. Out of all people, you particularly should know that shadows are the best way to conceal yourself. He also could have gone very far into the world and even discovered things that even the High Gods don't know about.”

Arima's eyes flashed with a cold light. ”I see. Then I just have to go there,” He stated and turned toward Karia, ”I'm sorry that you had to witness this. It definitely was unexpected. I will quickly take care of the Seed.”

”You don't have to worry about that… I can only thank you if you're going to help me,” Karia wryly smiled as she bowed.

Meanwhile, Lanya was still looking at Arima with strange eyes. With the time she spent with him, she had already built an image of him. Strong, kind, composed, and also childish at times.

But seeing him burst out in such anger, his expression distorted, and his eyes expressing more rage than she ever imagined, she felt her image of him fissure. She was gazing at Arima with fear and worry. Fear from what? She didn't know. Worry for what? She didn't know either.

Night glanced at her and then placed his full attention on Arima again. He shook his head and sighed. He knew Arima carried something like that. He was just surprised by how abrupt it was. It was even more confusing when the trigger was a god's name.

Arima extended his palm toward, ”[Ubi est anima mea?] (Where is the soul?)” He initiated his chant and Karia trembled.

”[Non quia a Deo venisti?] (Does it come from God?)”

”[Non, ut numquam hominibus aut semini eius] (No, humans have never been his descendants.)”

”[Id a parentibus?] (Does it come from your parents?)”

”[Non, quod homines non habent potestatem] (No, humans don't have that power.)”

”[Inde ubi quis] (Then from who and where,)”

”[Est vitae essentia flore?] (Does the essence of life bloom?)”

”[Ne reveles scriptor] (Let's discover,)”

”[Anima Porta] (Soul Gate).”

Arima's eyes glowed with an ominous light. The furtive patterns in his pupils started shone and rotated. A blue light was emitted from Karia's chest. It continuously grew brighter until it shrouded all of her body. That blue radiance formed an ethereal gate. Karia's eyes were empty as if she was unconscious.

”I have to admit it; your magic theory is impressive,” Lilis remarked.

”Thanks. By the way, does every Seed possess an individual ego?”

Lilis tilted her head, ”Yes… but how do you know-” She stopped. She suddenly apprehended an unspoken fact. She fell silent and Arima smiled at her.

Arima glared at the gate in front of him. His smile widened and it transformed into a chilly and warped grin, ”Well, it's time. I always wanted to see you again, you bastard.”

Night slowly stood up, ”Do you want me to come with you?”
