An ever-burning core of lava, light and flas surrounded Lee Seng. Where pain should've been, Lee Seng couldn't feel a thing. He reached out and touched the energy, realizing it was familiar.
'This is it.' Lee Seng thought. 'This is the cause… I did this?'
"No!" Lee Seng shook his curiosity away. "I need to help my friends!" The ever-burning core flared. Lee Seng could feel everything around him was being devoured by the core. Pieces of the core was spilling downwards. It had gone far. Sohow, Lee Seng understood what was happening. A wave of urgency ca over him. He needed to stop this before it touched Earth's core and tried to mix with it.
Lee Seng swam through the ever-burning core. He needed to find the center point but everything looked the sa. He swam for quite so ti, hearing the sa thing - whispers.
"…here…"
"…I'm here… Lee Seng…!"
Lee Seng turned, expecting nothing to be there. A solar flare whipped outwards, pushing past him and revealing a woman. Her chest was pitch black like magma. It pulsed with magma while her body was made up of yellows, oranges, and reds. Her hair burned with fire. The fiery woman opened up her eyes and released the pure white light. Lee Seng didn't dare turn away. The woman smiled at him and reached for him.
"I've been waiting for you to return." The fiery woman smiled. The question was on Lee Seng's lips. He wanted to ask her what she was, but he already knew that. She took a step forward and reached for his cheek. The blackened core within her started to glow a bright golden hue. "May your mind be at ease… All that has perished has already perished. Mourn for them, but—"
"Do not lose anyone else." Lee Seng finished the fiery woman's sentence. "I know. I know, Mom." He grabbed her hand and she smiled. "Thank you for staying here and waiting for to return."
"Anyti, Master. Let the Suns guide you." The woman vanished and the golden core flew into Lee Seng. Lava, fire and light flew into Lee Seng in an instant. The heat dissipated, leaving Lee Seng to listen to the lted rocks oozing down below him.
[ The Solar Core has been found.]
[The last piece of the Sun has been embedded into you.]
[Solar Magic, a subset of Sun magic, has been unlocked.]
Lee Seng let out a gasp. Whatever he had done had finally eased so pain. He could feel a weight slowly lift off him. His mind didn't feel as clouded. He could feel the energy coursing within him and all around him.
'Right.' Lee Seng glanced upwards and disappeared. He reappeared at the top, watching everything catch up around him. 'Diminished Sun.' Lee Seng opened his left hand and Diminished Sun appeared. He grabbed it and blasted forward, slashing and weaving through his friends.
A streak of light flew around, moving past the lting broken kinetic wall and onto the other side. Lee Seng swung his sword downwards, stopping the light speed. The acidic jello slis exploded. The world snapped back into real-ti and the screams of his friends continued.
"Full Mass Heal." Lee Seng whispered. A bright light flashed behind him as he watched a large sli monster appear behind the smaller ones. "I know you. You're one of the Failed Experints." Lee Seng flashed forward, destroying the smaller slis in an instant. An imnse pressure of heat pushed down onto the slis, burning the rest. The large sli produced beads of sweat as it produced eyeballs.
"Well, well, well." Sli telepathically spoke. "It seems you're the one poking around where you shouldn't be."
"You're stupid for coming back here." Lee Seng snapped back. He twirled his sword, building energy into it.
"Mother's Son really is a mouthful." Sli shook its body. "It's already annoying with one of you, but two? That's a bit—"
SWHING!
Sli shook for a mont before revealing a small cut on its body. Its eyes floated downwards and stared at the cut. Flas exploded from the cut, engulfing the sli in fire. Sli laughed and the flas flew into it.
"Fla resistance and slashing resistance ca in handy." Sli's eyes moved to look at Lee Seng behind them. "You should try harder next—" Runes lit up from thin air, exploding.
"You can keep it to yourself." Lee Seng turned. He had thrown all the elents he had thought in the small window of ti. Sli stood there, barely scathed.
"You think that'll work against ? I already told you, you can't hurt ." Sli leapt forward, turning into a strange green liquid. It slamd where Lee Seng was, covering a large radius in acid. The ground hissed while Lee Seng arced in the air, quickly falling back to the ground.I think you should take a look at
"Air." Lee Seng spoke the rune into existence in Fox tongue. A gust of wind caught Lee Seng, keeping him in the air. Sli's eyes crookedly looked at Lee Seng, rushing upwards. Sli reached for Lee Seng, grabbing air as Lee Seng reappeared higher. Sli cursed as it fell back into its original shape. It's two floating eyes stared at him from the top of its jello body.
"If you won't let co to you… I'll make you co to !" Sli rushed towards Lee Seng's friends. Lee Seng followed after, watching as Sli fired pieces of itself at Lee Seng. Lee Seng spun, dodging the first few sli balls as larger ones flew at him.
Lee Seng blinked forward, vanishing in fire. He reappeared behind the wall, grabbing the attention of his friends.
"Lee, did you kill all of the—" Evan began to ask when Lee Seng spun and touched the wall. A heavy pressure of energy flared, covering the entire wall in seconds. Sli launched itself into the wall. Sli howled in pain as pieces of itself disappeared. Sli pulled backwards, bobbing the contents in its insides as its eyes focused on Lee Seng.
"How did you do that?!?" Sli shouted. It's body began to shift.
"How?" Lee Seng swiped Diminished Sun over it and revealed the flas. "I just changed the contents. It's all the sa."
"All the sa?" Sli chuckled as its body ford a humanoid shape. "Are you trying to say you could harm this entire ti?"
"I was rely trying to see how different you were from the other slis." Lee Seng spun Diminished Sun, resting it on his shoulder.
"That thing… talks?" Ritsuka asked, standing up. Lee Seng stuck his hand out.
"You think getting a hit in will change anything?" Sli asked. It's eyes rose from its stomach and into the head region. A frown ford as the Sli slowly started to take on more humanoid shape. "You won't be able to get another one in."
"Do you want to know sothing?" Lee Seng tilted his head at the Sli. "I've got a lot of pent up anger and I want to hit soone repeatedly… so I'll just hit you!" Lee Seng rushed out of the flaming kinetic wall, swinging at Sli. Diminished Sun moved through Sli's humanoid body, before quickly attacking again and again. Sli grunted as it shot its arms outwards, connecting and pushing Lee Seng backwards.
Sli allowed its arms to turn into a pure liquid, releasing the acid and pieces in its arms. Small tal fragnts spilled, exploding on contact. Lee Seng fired out fire bolts, watching the humanoid Sli split, dodging the attacks and rejoining as a blob, again.
"I'm surprised so of you kept your experint forms. Here I thought you all wanted to be a Biohuman." Lee Seng comnted. Sli's eyes sohow managed to look angry at Lee Seng's remark.
"Try bein' for forty years! You get used to it!" Sli shot forward, splitting itself into nine different thin pieces. Lee Seng shot into the air, feeling Sli slash his legs as he rose to the air. Sli arced itself up against the fiery wall and continued to go after Lee Seng.
"Can I try that thing, again?" Lee Seng whispered. His body shook and everything around him grew bright. He shot forward, swinging his sword where Sli was and let ti continue. Sli shrieked as one of its parts spilled onto the ground.
"W-what just happened?" Sli asked.
"Did you see that?" Evan asked Ritsuka and Calis.
"No. I didn't see anything." Ritsuka shook his head.
"I felt it." Calis answered Evan's question. "It was for a brief second, but I felt Lee SEng's energy bounce."
"He lost his powers, right? He's floating with the use of wind runes… so how can he get that fast?" Ritsuka asked. Sli slamd into the ground, reforming a smaller version of itself. The items within it shook as Sli's body bubbled.
"H-how were you able to do that?!?" Sli shouted. "What did you do?!?"
"It's a trade secret." Lee Seng answered. "I'll tell you if you tell where this Mother and Son is… I'll even maybe let you live." Sli shuddered in fear.
'I didn't know Son's husk was this strong!' Sli thought to itself. 'Son was sure this husk was weak! He lied! This thing produced so much heat and destroyed the lab and everything in it in a blink of an eye! This 'husk' is powerful! How?!?'
