85: End of The Trial 85: End of The Trial They were coming.
He could feel it, the weight of their supreme power, enough to affect the entire planet.
The magnetic poles and waves of the entire planet of this trial were going haywire.
Unlike what most Seekers in the Eldarion continent believed, the worlds within the trials were not fake.
They were real, very, very much real, and every single person who lived in them.
But those worlds were, to a large extent, manipulated by the ‘Prime Nexus’.
As tempting as it was for him to wait for them, the 8th circle beings, and then clash against them with all of his might.
His priorities had changed; there was a possibility his grandson’s soul would be captured and imprisoned by them, and to generate enough power to kill fifteen 8th-tier beings, he would have to burn his grandson’s soul, and he was willing to do neither.
So, he could only opt to do the next best thing, something that would force Prime Nexus to give the highest evaluation possible to Axel.
Using his knowledge, he improved all the inconsistencies within Axel’s polygon circles, reinforced them, and reconnected them through various methods.
A qualitative change occurred.
Damien had already unlocked the highest version of the runic eyes possible.
He also improved the magic circuit within the body of Axel, then he gathered all the power he could, all the crystalline mana, killing intent, and his understanding of the runic eyes.
Though Damien was suspicious how his grandson had gotten his hands on the demon bloodline, actually, the will wasn’t able to see many of the things in Axel’s memories, of what happened before entering the trial, as if most of his memories were covered by a haze.
Concentrating all of his power into a singular point, he uttered loudly, “Commandment of Spacial Chaos.” The very moment he chanted those words in Runic Speech, a heaven-shaking warning reverberated everywhere, “NIGHTCROWN!!!!!” “DON’T YOU DARE??????” But his smile only widened at that warning, Damien Nomrad pointed the concentrated mass of energy transformed by his commandment, to one of the three moons high in the sky, The point of energy shot into the moon, if someone looked closely, they would see that the moon itself shook and a small crack appeared on it, Damien looked right towrds the moon and made a gesture with one hand as if grabbing the moon itself, then looking back at a certain direction.
He declared thunderously, “Moonfall.” Crack, Booom, Rawr…..
The moon itself cracked with that command of his, and this catastrophic event became visible for everyone to see.
A wave of existential terror ran through every single living being that saw this event unfold.
Many ran away in fear, but there was nowhere to run.
Most common people did not understand, as everyone simply started running in all directions.
While the powerful dug far into the underground or sheltered themselves with powerful magic.
Multiple powerful raged roars resounded throughout the world, but the words were directed at Damien, “Nightcrown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Damien saw that apocalyptic scene, with apparent glee, and he did not allow Axel to see anything anymore; he did not know how badly his grandson would react to that world-ending scene.
The moon fell apart into countless pieces, losing the orbital balance, the countless pieces of each asteroid broken from the moon itself, each in hundreds of kilometers in length and width, maybe even more.
Damien laughed aloud in the body of Ashborn, seeing thousands of such asteroids falling from the sky, each one enough to obliterate everything in a certain section of the planet itself.
15 shining stars rose from different sections of the planet, shooting out from the subterranean world, heading straight towards the sky to stop the calamity.
They all deployed their most powerful defensive spells or attempted to teleport away the asteroids outside of the planet, but they were too numerous in number and too great in size.
They all combined together and deployed a defensive barrier throughout the sky of the planet, but it broke apart like a thin veil of glass, even fifteen of the 8th circle powerhouses were helpless against that worldwide apocalypse.
Seeing their failed attempt Damien laughed even more loudly like a madman, witnessing their helplessness, the 8th circle Sage among them, turned around and looked directly at Damien with a blazing fury from high in the sky, right before a meteor hit him he whispered, “We shall not forget this transgression, Nightcrown.” Despite them being so far away, Damien felt those very words filled with rage whispered right into his ears, his laughter stopped abruptly, his expression turned frost cold, looking straight into the eyes of the Sage, he declared, “Wrong answer Traumerei.
It is you lot who shall pay for the transgression you’re ancestors had comitted, and this is merely the appetizer.” Before the meteorite could hit the Sage’s back and kill him, he disappeared alongside the other 8th-tier beings.
A satisfying grin appeared on his face, seeing their failed venture and the severe implications that would follow upon them, for this very failure.
Thousands of meteors fell into the world one after another, the ground shook in an apocalyptic fury and terror, and billions of living beings were killed in every single second of that man-made hell.
Damien looked at the largest meteor coming straight towards him, and smiled contentedly, though the Will was not able to accomplish the full task of killing them, he protected his grandson, that’s what mattered the most.
He didn’t care about all the lives being lost, but it was better not to reveal that to Axel.
A serious expression appeared on his face as he thought, ‘Was my main body able to escape the clutches of the Demon Emperor?’ Just thinking about that terrifying entity made him shudder, because the power system of this trial world was much much weaker compared to his home world, the Eldarion continents power system, in this world someone at the peak of 8th circle would only be an initial 5th phase Seeker in the Eldarion continent, maybe even weaker than that.
So, for the ‘Demon Emperor’ who was the only 7th phase Seeker in the entire continent, the power he held was beyond the wildest imagination of what anyone would possibly think.
He had experienced that absolute strength firsthand as he was taken by the emperor, because of his greatest expertise in runecasting, surpassing even the elves.
He shook his head, it was impossible to escape from that being, not while being in the Eldarion continent at least, only if the emperor let him go willingly could he be freed.
He could only hope the emperor would be kind enough to let him go after using his..
He sent one last thought to Axel within, “Don’t search for me back on the continent, and don’t talk about me to anyone, not even your father, Daniel.
Don’t try and find me or look for my clues, no matter what, Axel, I will come to you when the time is right.” “I also left a gift for you.
Goodbye for now, little one.” When this will of his dies, the memories should be transferred to his main body back in the Eldarion, that’s how he had made it, after all.
With a sigh, he closed his eyes as the mountain-like meteor landed right on him, and the world turned black.
While Axel himself heard the last statement in the will left by his grandfather and frowned, hearing the contents of it, just what was going on with his grandfather, so many mysteries related to him.
But suddenly, everything went blank.
For a moment, it felt he had experienced true death.
After an unknown amount of time, he felt his awareness return.
And the first thing he saw was..
