The next day, when I woke up, the school is already in a mess. My alarm clock shows an unreadable character of Time, written not in rune or any other language that I know. That can only mean one thing: Spatial and Time distortion. Why though… It is a question I would love an answer to. To my surprise, I found Charlotte and Nicki sleeping on the sofa of my room. They should be sleeping in their rooms. I softly patted them on their heads to wake them up.

“Mmhm… is it morning already?” The two girls mumbled in their sleep.

“Wake up. I’m preparing breakfast for the both of you today.” I whispered into their ears.

The two girls rubbed their eyes and opened them, then stared at me.

“Now let me ask you girls, why are you in my room?”

“At around midnight, we received news from one of our rulers of the Light Elemental Plane that they will be initiating an attack here. We don’t have much details but we are informed that they will be bringing out their newest weapon, named ‘Creator’. We wanted to alert you about this attack but we were overcame by sleepiness and fell asleep before we could do anything. We are sorry.”

I patted on their heads.

“Don’t worry. Even if I received the news earlier it may not have change the outcome. What is important now is I need to know about the situation now, the enemy strength and who the mastermind is.”

“I have the information you need, Innight.” Someone walked into my room. It was Time. That must be another clone of hers because the other clone is sleeping on her bed right now.

“Well provide me the details, Time.”

“The attack began around 3 in the morning. Light created a special barrier around this region to freeze advancement of Time and reinforcements before they started the battle. They have connected the barrier to a gate that allows transfer of armies of Light into the school itself. Currently they have taken over 2 of the main buildings of the school and the teachers are battling against the army as we speak, but with the major threat of the battle on the loose, they have no chance at winning at all. The major threat of this battle is machineries that goes by the codename of ‘Creator’, which have Creator Level magic and constantly creates new Creatures of Light to battle against us. From what I have gathered using my clones before they are wiped out, Luricerite is sitting somewhere in this barrier and watching the entire battle unfolding itself. I cannot replace the clones as Time is restricted from flowing here. Innight, we better start deriving a plan to begin our counterattack.”

“I can’t.”

“Huh? Why? Surely you are able to destroy those machines in a flash!” Everyone asked.

“Haven’t you said so yourself, Time, that these machines are capable of using Creator Level magic? I am not that powerful yet. My magic level is currently only on par of a Lord Level, if I face someone with Creator Level magic I will die! I need to lift at least one more seal in order to be on the same level as those machineries! There is nothing I can do to win this battle this time, the difference in power level is too great!”

“So we are just going to wait here and wait for Luricerite to destroy all of us? Come on, Innight. There must be something that could be done to stop them without fighting them head on!”

“I don’t know! Without more information about those machinery I wouldn’t be able to figure any plans on defeating those things!”

“At least you are able to assist the teachers right, Innight?”

“I can’t! I cannot face those machines without risking my own life on the line! Until we can gather more information, we cannot counterattack!”

“I understand. Innight, I shall try to gather more information about those machinery, until then please be safe!”

Saying these, Time melted into the shadows.

“Why did you say those words, Innight? You have always been positive on everything that is thrown at us.”

“T-There is something more. H-H-H-H-H-He is back.” I muttered these as I curled up in a ball.

I cannot fight. He is back. It should be impossible. If he indeed has returned the entire Existence is doomed to become a wasteland to fuel his powers. There is nothing I can do to fight against Him, especially at my current magic level. But how did he escape? Even with the seal being loose, it should take him longer to escape from it! Also, Luricerite appears to have allied with Him, which makes the situation more dangerous. What should I do? What can I do?

“Innight?” Aquis appears to have woken up. She stretched herself before continuing: “What’s for breakfast?”

“A-A-A-Aquis. Give me a moment. I will cook up breakfast for the four of you here. Charlotte and Nicki, explain to Aquis what the situation is outside while I cook breakfast for all of us.”

I hurried off to the kitchen.

“Hm… Pancakes or French toast? Better choose French toast, we just had Pancakes a few days ago.” I murmured to myself.

When I carried the food to the table, the four of them already laying on the table and playing with the forks and knives.

“Here you are. Next time I wouldn’t be so kind to prepare breakfast for the both of you, Charlotte, Nicki.” I said this as I looked at both of them.

They nod their heads in reply.

A knock came on the door.

“Come in.”

A very battle-worn and bloody Time dragged herself in. I immediately rushed over to her.

“What happened? Time! Answer me!”

“D…Drag me to my other clone.”

I followed her orders. I know what she is about to do, transfer memories so in case this clones dies, the information can be retrieved by another clone.

Time’s hand touched the other clone’s forehead. I can feel magic transferring itself from the injured clone to the sleeping clone. When it stopped, the injured Time fell onto the floor. I can feel her heartbeat stopped. Her shadow opened up and her body sank into it.

The sleeping Time opened up her eyes.

“Since the clone that is supposed to tell you about the information died, let me, the other clone, inform you of the updates.”

“Alright. Please proceed.”

“First, these machines are drawing out power from somewhere deep below the surface of this school itself. I tried detecting the pool of the power and found it to be tremendous. So if we managed to cut off the machines’ magic supply from the gigantic pool of magic, we can stop the machines from operating and prevent more Creatures being formed. Then we can stop the invasion and save the school”

“That is good news. Anymore?”

“The next is a bad news. I have detected something very, very, very ancient in the battlefield. I suspect that it is The Unknown. It appears not to be doing anything but watching the battle. Not even God knows what will happen if it sees you stopping the invasion.”

I curled up in the ball, shaking back and forth.

I can’t do it. I can’t do it. He will kill me since I’m so weak now. Who knows what will happen to the Existence if I am not present to reset the entire Existence. He will turn this entire Existence into a place where he feed to fuel his power so that it exceeds Infinity. Not even I know what will happen if one’s power exceed Infinity Level magic.

“Well, Innight. Our first job is to interrupt the magic supply of those machineries.”

“I can’t. He hasn’t found me because there is a protection spell in this room, the moment I leave here he will find me. And kill me. I will not leave this room.” I said this as I continued rocking back and forth in a ball.

*sigh* “We need our Great Ruler Lord Inoxion to convince him. Sadly because of the barrier we cannot call him.” Aquis sighed.

“Well, let this old man do the job.” Nightius came in.

“Nightius!” I cried.

“Innight. You need to realize something. Time has not found this out because she isn’t able to analyse magic. The The Unknown that Time has found out on the battlefield is not the real one. It is ancient, yes, but the power is significantly lower than a soldier. The magic that originates from that thing is only of a Spirit Level. I would say that it is probably a small spirit of The Unknown.”

“What?! TIME! You made me crumble in fear because of your stupid mistake!”

“I-I-I’m sorry!” She cried out.

“Never mind that now. Now that mistake has been cleared up, we need to focus on our highest priority now: Taking back our school. Nightius, do you happen to have a map of the school?”

“Indeed I do have.”

“Good. Show it to us. I need to plan on what routes we need to take to reach the Basement.”

Nightius took out a large parchment and laid it on the floor. At that moment the whole ground shook. Then an announcement came: “Students, please evacuate from Building C, the buildings’ defence system has lost against the invaders. This is not a drill. Repeat, this is not a drill. Please evacuate from Building C immediately.”

“3rd building lost, we don’t have time. Let us see the map.”

I begin to analyse the map and figure out the best route to reach the basement.

“Innight, why don’t you just use Earth spell to create a hole in the ground?”

“Luricerite has excellent magic detection. I cannot let him know that I’m stopping his plans. We have to approach the target with as little magic as possible so he does not detect us.” I answered while continued to investigate the map.

“Alright. I have figured out a method. But to do this I will need protection magic and invisible magic. We have to sneak into Building A, which has already fallen into the enemy’s hands. Only Building A has stairs that leads to the deepest point of the school. From there we can access the deepest point of the school in the fastest way possible and using as little magic as possible.”

“Understood. Let’s move now.”

We left our room and begin sneaking our way out of the building.

“Once outside, I will have to use an invisibility spell. It will be very weak and so sound and interactions with the objects outside the field is not muted. Be careful where you tread and don’t make a sound.”

We soon exited the Building D. Outside we can see machines all around, dropping down spheres which eventually hatch into new Creatures of Light. AT the very top of the entire barrier, I can sense Luricerite sitting up there. I casted a spell over all of us, a shadow encased all of us.

“Now, move according to me. We have to move in a single line, the last person must not leave the shadow or else you will be spotted.”

We walked slowly across the battlefield and under the machines. The last person, Time, almost tipped over and got let out of the shadows, but luckily I saw her and stopped in time. There were in stances that we came very close to the machines, but luckily due to low artificial intelligence they are unable to perform spells to detect us.

We have been lucky so far. There is no telling what will happen if I run out of Time, or if Luricerite wins this battle.

We successfully sneaked into Building A without anyone noticing us. We first sneak into an empty classroom, then I disabled the spell.

“Why did you do that for, Innight?”

“Luricerite is right above this building. He can easily detect my magic if I’m not careful. We have to fight off the enemies we encounter here and destroy them before they are able to transmit any information to Luricerite or any generals outside. Here, use these weapons.” I said these as I took out seven swords, all composed of Dark Matter.

“We have to use Physical form of damage to all the Creatures who obstruct or discover us. Using Physical damage will allow us to escape Luericerite’s radar. Follow my lead, everyone, I will lead all of us to the basement through the shortest path. Remember, no mercy to anyone that spots us, as they will show no mercy either.”

We stepped out of the classroom, immediately we were faced by a Light Elemental. Before anyone could react, Time opened up the shadow under the Elemental and it swallowed the Elemental whole.

“TIME! I did mention not to use magic, didn’t I?”

“That was not magic. That is a physical attack that I have used in shadows control. It does not require mana to operate the movement. You do have heard of shadow weaving, have you not, Innight?”

“I do. So this is an application of shadow weaving. However, I remember that you cannot cast it too often or else you will lose your own shadow, thereby rubbing your very existence away.”

“Correct, Innight. So I can help to eliminate those that escaped us using this technic, but not too often.”

“That will be useful. Let’s move out now.”

We left the classroom and out to the corridor. We immediately faced a Creature of Light. Nightius took out a bow and fired a black arrow through the Creature. It then bursts into chunks of Light.

“Who are you? Stop right there!”

I rushed over to the speaker and stabbed the sword into their stomach, then slicing it right through the three Creatures at once. Chunks of Light flew all over the place, and white liquid splattered all over me.

“We should consider us lucky that Dark Matter can cut through anything as it digest everything into mana. Light wouldn’t even be able to touch them and use them as they are polar opposites, that will kill them.” I said this as I put the sword back to its scabbard. “Let’s move. We don’t have time.”

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

We continued advancing through the waves of Creatures of Light and decimated them without problems. Soon we reached the most bottom floor, and found a half-broken lift standing there.

“I have never seen this lift before.” Someone said.

“Neither had I. I suspect this lift is covered by a strong layer of magic in normal situations, now that Luricerite has come in and mess up the balance of magic the cover of magic is destroyed, showing it now. I hope it still functions perfectly. If my hunch is right, this lift will bring us to the centre of all the magic abnormality.”

“What do you meant?” Time looked at me and asked. The speaker just now should be her.

“You will understand when we reach the very bottom of the school. If my guess is correct, of course.”

We all squeezed into the small, iron and rusty lift. I pressed the button labelled “Core” and the doors closed shut, then it begin its’ way downwards into the depth. The lift creaked and rumbled, but it held and the trip went safely.

Then the lift stopped and the doors opened. Outside was a beautiful scenery waiting for us. Everything was sea-blue, I can detect everything here is composed of mana alone. Various animals graze upon the blue grassland. It was so beautiful, everyone is stuck in awe. In the very middle of the area a gigantic tree is growing there. We approach it, Time, Aquis, Charlotte and Nicki couldn’t help but to stop and feel up the animals there, I and Nightius have to remind them again and again about the current situation the school is facing. We soon reached the tree, then we found out the tree is growing from a gigantic corpse of a strange man.

“I recognize this Creature’s face.” I said.

“Who is it?” Everyone crowded around me.

“It is as I have suspected. This is the one responsible for the entire mess of magical instability and the battle that we are facing right now. This Creature’s name is – The Creator.”

“The Creator?! But is he dead and all his remains are destroyed?”

“This is where you are all wrong. The Creator, as you would have read about it, came along with us, The Unknown and me, during the Creation Point. It is much weaker in magic level, possessing only Creator Level magic. It took up the role of creating the entire Elemental Realm after I performed Ragnarok on the entire Existence. However if failed to rule over everything as it does not have an All-Seeing Eye, and blamed the faults of war on my Master. I killed him, while at the same time I was killed as well. From what I remembered, his remains turned into mana, and is used to create the Physical Realm. With all the recent power spikes and magic abnormality I have suspected something is off, which gave me a clue on what is actually causing all this.”

“I initially suspected an outer cause resulted in all the magic abnormalities. However, after receiving several reports that there is a large pool of magic deep within the school and I not being able to identify the source has led me to suspect that the remains of the Creator is hidden under the school. Today’s battle gave me the proof that I need, to sustain a machine with that much power you will need something of the same Magic Level to sustain it, this led to my conclusion. Now we have two options to deal with this remains. One, blow it all up, destroy all the magic present here so that Luricerite can no longer drain magic from here anymore. Two, absorb it and condensed it into a magical sphere and store it somewhere so Luricerite cannot access this pool of magic anymore. Which one do you choose? Be quick, we don’t have time.”

“I think we should go with option 2, Innight. Lord Inoxion might find this pool of magic useful to him as well, so it will be better to safe keep it.”

“Alright then, Nightius. Please help me keep an eye of the surroundings. I need to perform a spell to first disconnect all the mana lines the machines has on this pool of magic before I can condense this ball of magic. Lyrith: Parousia!”

I entered Alzelea state again. I can see thousands of lines stretching out from the tree out towards the surface, I begin to severe them off using magic. Soon all the threads were severed. I returned to my senses.

“Now it comes the easy part. Fermion: Devastation!”

The corpse and the tree begin to twist and condense into a small sphere. The surrounding animals begin to decay and lose their blue hue, bones of the animals begin to show and mana begin to flow from the environment back into the sphere itself. Soon their entire surrounding turned into nothing but a wasteland, with bare dirt everywhere and bones of the dead animals.

“He must have been continuously supplying magic into this environment, causing Creatures of mana to grow within this environment. Once he is gone, the life line of the environment is gone and it collapse on itself. Which means – “

Just as I said these, the entire underground cavern begin to shake.

“Everyone, hurry to the lift, his place is going to collapse on its own!” I said these as I started running towards the lift, everyone followed.

Except Time. She appears stunned.

“What going on Time? Hurry!” I run towards her.

“I’m dead, Innight. Someone discovered my true self and killed me. I won’t last more than a few minutes here before I vanish into mana. I need to tell you this, Innight: Thank you for giving me hope. Also – “She put her lips to mine and kissed me.

“I love you. I’m grateful that I meet you, now goodbye Innight. To another Time where we will meet again.”

Saying these, her body vanished into mana.

I’m horrified. I wanted to cry but I know I have to hold back my tears, there is something more important on our hands first. Her funeral have to wait. I rushed back to the lift and pressed the “Ground” button. The doors closed and the lift begin its’ ascension to the surface. Just seconds after we done that the entire cavern caved in and buried the remains of everything in the cavern.

Just in time.

“Once we get to the surface, go out, battle to the death! Destroy absolutely every enemy however you like! We have to revenge for all the damage they have done on our school!” I commanded.

“Yes sir!”

When the lift reached the surface, and opened up the doors, hundreds Creatures of Light were already waiting for us. That’s odd. I thought we had our movements all hidden perfectly.

Well, it doesn’t matter now.

“CHARGE!”

Spells of various size, shape and colour blasted towards the Creatures of Light. We fought our way out of the building, and saw our plan succeed. All the machines are disabled and fell to the ground.

“WE WIN, LURICERITE! NOW PLEASE GO BACK TO YOUR PLANE!” I shouted.

“Not so fast, Innight.” Came the reply.

“WHAT?”

“You do want to know who killed Time, do you?”

“How did you know about her?”

“I have my intel hidden perfectly well against you. Well, you are bound to figure them out sooner or later, so I shall tell you now, it is your partner of the Darkness Elemental Plane, Aquis!”

“AQUIS?!”

“Sorry, Innight! He held my parents captive and forced me to do his dirty work against you, I’m dearly sorry, Innight!”

“I understand. It is all the plan of Luricerite all along to trick us into this battle!”

“Indeed. I want you to feel that you have succeed then killing all your friends all at once dropping you to rock bottom!”

“What did you just say?!”

“Oh, by the way, here is the corpse of your wife.”

He took out the corpse of Time from a portal that just opened up and threw it on the ground.

“Also, I have a special surprise for you. Bring him over!”

“Roger.”

The Light Elementals around him went into the portal, and what came out together with them is someone I never thought to see in this state.

It is Master. Master Inoxion is captured by Luricerite.

“Master!”

“He proved himself to be a difficult target. He almost caught me and could have sent me to The Void if it wasn’t for the help of my new ally.”

“You have a new ally?”

“Indeed. He is someone you know of as well. Hey, say hello to him. Don’t you always want to do so?”

A white dragon head stretched out from the portal. I suddenly felt a chill down my spine. It can’t be, he should not have escaped that easily. I am very confident about my magic that he should not have escaped that easily. This cannot be him.

Hello Zealu’. Apparently you haves been ‘everely weakened compared to the la’ts time I have ‘een you. If you are wondering how did I manages to e’cape your ‘eal, let me tell you the truths. I didn’t. What you are ‘eeing now is a ‘mall portions of my ‘oul. I still can uses magic in this form, but it will be ‘everly weakened. Don’t worry, you will be seeing mes very soons.

That caused the fear within myself to subside a little. I should be able to defeat him with ease, as long as he has not grown in power, also I have to revenge for Time. I will kill them both.

Suddenly I heard more screams. I turned my head around. The machines killed off Nightius, Charlotte and Nicki. I thought there were deactivated? That can’t be… It is all a trap!

“You amaze me, Innight. Is that not enough to drive you insane? Then I wonder what will happen if I kill off your master here?”

No. I will not let you do so. I thought. I’m just about to rush over to Master’s side when I found myself trapped in an invisible barrier.

“Let me out!” I screamed. “LET ME OUT!”

“We will, I promised, after we retrieve the Infinity artifact from your master here. Artharos: Desoloth!”

 That is Creator Level magic! He shouldn’t be able to cast it!

That is when I observe that the white dragon breaths magic into Luricerite, this fuels him with magic, enough to keep the spell complete. There is no telling what that will happen if these two collaborate together to rule over Existence. If I do not stop them, the entire Existence will be in a state of chaos. The first thing to do is to prevent him from accessing the Infinity Seal. He should have gathered all the Infinity Artifacts except the Infinity Artifact of Darkness, or else he would not have been so desperate to capture Master.

Master screams as the magic begin to cleanse the cursed armour of its curse. This will kill Master. Master is only alive because of the curse. It is because of how intense the curse is on the armour, it came to life, giving rise to Master. If they cleanse the armour of its curse, Master will die.

“NO! STOP IT!” I screamed while banging on the barrier.

“Since you are rumoured to be so powerful, this simple barrier should be nothing to you, right? Why don’t you just break it instead?” Luricerite said this as he continued his spell.

“STOP IT!” I continued to scream over and over again.

With a blinding light from the armour, Master stopped screaming. I can sense no more magic is flowing through the armour.

Master is dead. The image that all my believes that I have held for years is gone.

I will kill the both of them.

The seal begin to circle in my eyes, all of them broke. There is no greatest despair that having your Master, the support that you lie on for years, to disappear. This caused all my seals to be permanently broken, I’m back at full power now. The Zealus that all Creatures of Existence fear.

I can feel an intense aura hangs around me.

“Hey, look, The Unknown, he, Zealus, finally revealed his true self!”

“It is wise to not fight him. At my current power, I cannot even touch him or I will evaporate into nothingness. Now that we have the Infinity Artifact of Darkness, we have all the 7 Infinity Artifacts, now head to the Infinity Seal.”

“Right you are.”

Before I could do anything, Luricerite leaped into the portal and the portal closed. The entire barrier that surrounds the school dissipated.

We have won the battle. But at a cost. Many were injured or even dead. They will be missed.

I will find you, Luricerite. But after I have fixed the school. After that I will hunt you down. And I will kill you, together with The Unknown.

The entire school prepared a funeral for the next day to send off the dead and pay respects for them. There were no lessons for the entire day. I was instructed by the principal to fix up the mess using my immense magic. I was award a medal for saving the school and obliterating the enemy force. However I was not in the mood to celebrate. Also, there were rumours that I was the one who caused this entire battle to start circulating the school so I have receive glares from many. The only good thing that came out from this battle is no one dared to battle me again.

Then, during midnight. My Calling Crystal begin heating up

Who could be calling me? Master is dead.

I activated the crystal. “Hello? Who is calling? Don’t say you are my Master, since that will be a lie.”

“Innight. It is me indeed. What Luricerite has killed is a clone that I have set up earlier. I have extracted the Infinity Artifact from myself after you mentioned about the danger of him killing me. I then created another clones of myself using the Infinity Artifact. There is something of great concern to me, Innight.”

My heart skipped a beat. Master is alive? That is a relief. However, that does not change the fact that Aquis is a betrayer, and Time, Nightius, Charlotte and Nicki is dead.

“Well, Master, have you decided who will fit the position of Nightius?”

“There is no need. Have you forgotten about Revival magic? Nightius may hold Lord Level Magic, but he is still a Creature of Flesh, he can be revived using Revival magic. Try doing that to Time and the other two girls, which will revive them. For Aquis, we will save her parents, but only after Luricerite is dealt with first.”

Of course! Revival magic! I can use it to revive the girls!

“I have forgotten indeed, all this deaths has cost me to lose the ability to think properly.”

“I will discuss with you those things later, something important has come up, and only you are capable to do this job this time.”

“Ok, so what is it this time?”

“There is a distress signal from the Light Elemental Plane. They have sent a help signal to us. That is the very last thing we expect them to do. We have connected to them and from what they are saying, Luricerite has been missing from his throne for more than three days. The last time they have communicated with him, according to them, he has lost all humanity. He is planning to rule over the entire Elemental Realm and has gone crazy over thinking how, he wanted to collaborate with The Unknown, and the worst, Innight, is this: He plans to combine with The Unknown together to gain his powers while maintaining his position as the Grand Ruler of Light Elemental Plane.”

I shivered at the thought. This will only spell The End for the entire Existence. The Unknown will then feed endlessly on the warmonger’s heart and continue to grow in power while Luricerite terrorize the entire Existence. I need to stop this at all cost.

“We still have time, Innight. They have told us the last time they detected Luricerite is somewhere in the midst of the Void. He is most likely searching for the Infinity Seal. You have to find him and destroy him before he does find it.”

“Understood.” I deactivated the Calling Crystal.

Never had I heard of a more atrocious plan. Combining with something of Infinity Level magic when the user is only Lord Level, this will definitely kill him. But if it does, The Unknown would have not choose to help him. So this means we don’t have Time this time round.

I instantly open up a portal to the Infinity Seal and transport myself there. At there I see Luricerite, with the seven Infinity Artifacts surrounding the seal, he is standing at the side of the seal.

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AWAKEN AND BE FREE! THE UNKNOWN! FUSED TOGETHER AS ONE WITH ME SO WE CAN TOGETHER DOMINATE THIS EXSITENCE TOGETHER!”

Too late.

The seven Infinity artifacts circled around the Infinity Seal and emitted a huge beam of light into The Void. The seal cracks and fractures. A huge white arm reached out from the broken seal, followed by another. A head and shoulder then followed. The head showed a snicker as it appears from the broken seal.

The Unknown. I can no longer seal him again as all the artifacts are broken, also he will be wary of me to ensure it does not happen to him again. The entire Existence is doomed. I cannot predict what will happen when he is free, when he is merged with the Grand Ruler of Light, Luricerite. He will continuously feed onto the warmonger’s heart and grow in power. He has grown in power while the stayed in the seal so I no longer have the ability to fight him anymore. This spells trouble.

The head turned around and found me.

“Ah. What do we haves here? If it wa’n’t’ the Creatures who sealed me in, Zealu’! Nice to meets you again, my friend!”

He isn’t angry? Odd. Something is off.

“Are you not angry at me for sealing you in?”

The head chuckled.

“Angry? I’m not capable to do thats when you have gave me a whole new world to plays with! Thank’ to you, I have discovered an entire world for me to feeds my power on. I greatly thank you, Zealu’.”

A whole new world? I did not know that. Unless….Uh oh. Infinity has a whole new dimension that exist with it. This means he have grew exponentially stronger while I kept him in that seal. All while I have stayed the same amount of power for all these eternities. I need to revive the Infinity Dimension one day, judging by this situation, but it would have to come later, it will have to come after I have defeated this Incarnation of Evil.

“Now is you excuses me, I need to do something extremely important.” The head said.

Turning to Luricerite, the head continued: “Now, Grand Ruler of Light, I promised you to have my power, so I shall give you my reward, but in return you will have to feed me. So I have come to the conclusion to stay in your body. Now, please put out your left hand.”

Luricerite stretched out his left hand. The entire monstrosity begin to shrink and condense into a small sphere of white.

“Now swallow it.” The sound continued. Luricerite followed his instruction.

I begin to sense magic imbalance in Luricerite. The amount of magic condensed in The Unknown all given to a person of only Lord Level magic will either kill him or turn him into some form of monster. I guess it will be the latter or else The Unknown would not have agreed to the plan.

The physical shape of Luricerite begin to turn, half of his body swelled and sharp metal pieces begin to sprout from his back, a wing too sprouted behind him.

But apparently the transformation is too much for Luricerite to handle. He lost all his sanity and magic begin to overflow from him. The level of magic peaked Infinity Magic and begin to collapse itself.

So that is what happens. I thought. When magic level goes over Infinity Level the Creature collapse and magic devour the being altogether, turning it into mana.

Screams continued to come from Luricerite. The monstrosity he turned into is condensed and slowly converted into mana at the same time. At the last moment, with a final scream, a blinding light came from him. When it was over, there left a glowing blue sphere. That, I suspect, is pure mana. Something that I myself have no seen before since I have personally never visit the Astral realm before. I picked it up from the ground and put it in my pocket.

On the screen the end credits rolled. I took off my Virtual Reality headset.

“That is a good game. Isn’t it, Time?”

Time mumbled something then continued sleeping. I looked at my fingers, the ring shone there, signifying my marriage to the girls. I turned off the television and went upstairs to bed, where Charlotte and Nicki is sleeping. I took out a blue sphere from my pocket and kiss it, before putting it at the side of my bed. I slowly closed my eyes.

“This isn’t the end, you know, Innight.”

“I know. Master Inoxion. His other 4 Grand Rulers are still there, there are the Ancient Beasts as well. But we finally have a period of peace as they fight among themselves who sits on the position of Grand Ruler, as the Ancient Beasts continues to sleep in another Dimension, and with the destruction of the most dangerous Creature of Existence. We should enjoy it while we can.”

“However you like, Innight.” Master replied

“Alright, I need to sleep now, Master. Good Night.”

“Good night.”

The Calling Crystal cooled down.

I went to the window to take a look outside. The beautiful Void surrounds the entire house. Just meters away are the Elemental Planes. It wouldn’t be long before another war is brought up between the Elemental Planes of Light and Dark. And if the Ancient Beasts were awaken, there will be a large scale war between all the Elemental Planes. But now, as I have mentioned, we should enjoy the temporary peace in the Existence.

I walked back to the bed and lie on it and closed my eyes. Slowly I fall into a deep sleep.

Peace and War will rise and fall, in our beloved Plane of Darkness.

The End?
