Chapter 89 - The Library (1/2)
Crack.
”Eh, looks like that's all” Evan muttered quietly on his eleventh day in the fourth section.
At this moment he had 333 drops of Void Liquid, and he needed three times more to reach the One-Pointed Star. But, the two remaining ”Barriers” would not allow him to go any further.
The two chains around his crimson ”Warp” jangled loudly and the mana stopped condensing, which was the maximum for a man who only broke through one ”Barrier”.
<What should I do with all this mana?>
Evan looked at the thousands of pale blue bubbles in his ”Nirvana”. They were slowly disappearing. Evan couldn't use them to condense or to fill his mana reserves.
If last time at the Zak`s mansion he had completely depleted the mana in the crystals, now in the fourth section the crystals were still full of mana, though the water in the lake began to shine a little fainter. Evan considered that he would be able to condense more than a thousand drops of Void Liquid at this place, until the mana in the crystals and in the water completely dried up.
”Well, I've achieved excellent results anyway. All that's left is to break through the two ”Barriers” and we can move on. That will be enough for now.”
Mumbled Evan and was about to stop ”Creating”, but suddenly a strange change began to occur in his ”Nirvana”.
Crack.
Thick cracks appeared in the white space from which the jaws of the Demogorgon slowly crawled out.
When Zak had given Evan a very powerful pill the same thing had happened, but Evan didn't remember it, he was unconscious then.
”What is this?!” Evan was shocked to see the mouth of some strange creature creeping into his ”Nirvana”.
He didn't know what it was or how to deal with it. Evan tried to find a way to attack the creature in his ”Nirvana”, but after a few seconds, he calmed down.
”Nirvana” is the center of a magician, the most important place for him in the whole world. This means that it is where the mage's instincts and emotions are most vivid and precise.
As strange as it was, Evan felt no threat from that horrible mouth, Even though the creature's aura was overwhelming and terrifying.
Evan decided to trust his feelings and see what would happen next.
Whoosh.
The demogorgon's mouth opened wide like five huge petals with a hundred teeth. A crimson magical circle with many symbols and runes unknown to Evan slowly began to appear above it.
This magical circle was nothing like the ones he used to cast his spells. It was something more powerful and ancient.
Whoosh.
The magic circle was ready and it flashed brightly once in crimson flames. The next moment, countless pale blue bubbles turned into huge streams and rushed toward the magic circle.
<Wait... I've already seen that mouth and that magic circle. I need to get there!>
Suddenly Evan remembered that something like this had happened before, only then he was not in ”Nirvana”, but in a completely different space. It wasn't hard to guess that all mana was going there.
Unfortunately, Evan did not know how to get to that place, each time it happened randomly, without his knowledge.
Crack.
As soon as Evan thought about it, the cracks around the demogorgon's mouth multiplied several times and immediately stopped expanding.
<Huh, is that an entrance just for me? Well, then there's no need to delay>.
Evan's consciousness quickly passed through the cracks in space and he found himself in that very spot.
<Well, he's still sleeping as ever.> Evan thought to himself, looking at the huge black lion.
But it wasn't the lion that caught his attention, it was the pillar on the edge of the black magic circle. In his battle with Roland, the chains on that pillar had been ringing furiously, but now they were at complete peace.
