As minutes passed, the opposing force of the stone got weaker and its size smaller, the red-colored pattern was now more clearly visible, and the fla's real target was these marks.
Almost an hour had passed, the stone had been reduced to almost half of its size and it no longer fought back, but the flas continued to devour it with the sa ferocity, like a demon with bloodlust.
Finally, when more than two hours had passed, the stone had beco a thin circular sheet, its thickness just a little above that of a paper's.
When the attacking sound had stopped, Lucian opened his tired eyes and looked down at the circular piece of stone, even though it was so thin, Lucian still couldn't break it.
"So what now?" he wondered, but before Zero could give any answer, the black flas devoured the remains of the stone, leaving nothing behind as the red patterns glowed in the room.
"It's gone? Wai- Ugghhh," after the thin stone had disappeared, Lucian suddenly felt pain in both his arms, as if his skin was being ripped apart, this pain felt much more severe than even getting his body pierced by Xaru's hand.
Lucian couldn't see his hands since they were completely covered by the flas, but the pain slowly kept increasing, moving from his palms to his shoulders and then enveloping his entire body.
His scream rang out in the room, the sound of bones crushing could be heard in the darkness, blood flowed out of his hands uncontrollably because of the severe injuries on his hands, but before it could even move a few centiters away, it was absorbed back.
All thoughts disappeared from his mind, what remained was just the imnse pain filling his entire body, he lost track of ti as even a mont felt so long.
After a long ti, the flas finally disappeared.
Lucian was completely exhausted, not even having the strength to open his eyes, soon his consciousness disappeared into oblivion.

Outside of the inheritance space, Peter ran away after seeing that Lucian had already achieved his goal, and he knew all of that man's anger would be directed toward him, so he wished to escape by the car.
Fang Yan looked angrily at Peter, as if he was about to emit fire from his gaze. He wouldn't kill an innocent person and wanted to protect everyone, but soone who goes against him cannot be innocent.
'I have to kill this evil man at any cost. By his actions, he prevented from entering and helped soone else, he probably wants the destruction of humanity.'
In Fang Yan's mind, Peter was already the worst heinous criminal who deserved to die a thousand tis.
Peter, who was running at full speed but had still only covered half the distance, glanced back at the approaching man in a white robe. All color disappeared from his face as he prayed in his head.
Fang Yan's speed was much faster than Peter, who was only a normal human, so within a few seconds, he had gotten close to Peter.
"Stop, you evil thing! A bad person like you shouldn't be a cop. Because of you, I wasn't able to get that… that weapon. You deserve to die,"
Fang Yan shouted, although he was sure that no one would be able to use that weapon aside from him, but because of Peter, one day had been wasted.
"N- No, I didn't know anything about that. I was just s- searching for a criminal. Huff, huff," Peter shouted as he ran for his life.
BANG
But soon, Fang Yan caught up with Peter and pushed him forward as he fell down.
"W- Wait, if you kill , you would be in a lot of t- trouble," Peter said, even though he was once going to kill himself, but now he wanted to live.
"Hah, I don't need to fear anything. I'll give you an easy death," Fang Yan said and raised his sword, ready to cut his neck in a single motion.
BANG
A bullet hit the ground just beside Fang Yan, then a loud voice rang out.
"Drop your weapon, you have been surrounded. We will kill you if you don't follow."
The backup had finally arrived. Peter heaved a sigh of relief as he fell back.
"Tsk, now this is really ruining my mood," Fang Yan spoke as he placed the sword away and just stood there. Now more than one day would be wasted.

After dozens of hours, Lucian finally woke up, and he felt completely refreshed, his head no longer hurt, and all the pain had completely disappeared.
'Wait, there is no pain?' Lucian suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He looked at his palms and found that his hands were still intact, with no injury at all.
Then he stood up and looked at the wound on his back.
"It really disappeared? Zero, just what happened?" Lucian asked in surprise as he inspected his body. There wasn't even a scratch on his back or his hands…
Although there was no injury even after all the pain he went through, the exact red pattern that was on the stone had appeared on the back of his hands, but now a black layer had appeared over it too.
Its size wasn't too big, and they just looked like a normal tattoo, but Lucian felt a strong connection with them.
[That weapon had been swallowed by the flas and its consciousness had disappeared, it had beco a part of your body.]
Lucian was surprised to hear all that. He stared at the tattoo and wondered what kind of weapon it was.
From what Zero had told him before, he only knew that this weapon could grow along with its user. He didn't know anything aside from that.
"So tell more about it," Lucian asked, feeling quite intrigued.
[It has greatly changed from its original state. You can will it to take any shape, and it could grow up to a certain size.
Originally, it used the blood of its prey for its evolution and grew along with its user.
Although that hasn't changed, now since it has beco a part of your body, you will also be able to absorb that energy.
And it can also be used to heal your wounds, as you might have noticed.]
"…" Lucian read her words silently. By the end, he was pleasantly surprised and felt that all the pain he had felt earlier was worth it.
If he kills a creature on the other Earth, he would almost be able to absorb twice the Fog compared to before, since quite a large part of the Fog was left in the body, inside the at of the creatures.
"Wait, Zero, can't people just eat the at of those creatures to obtain more Fog?" Lucian asked.
[No, obviously others also had this thought and they experinted, but what ca out as a result was not a human but a mindless creature with an endless hunger. It could no longer be considered human.]
"Oh, I see. Then I would even be able to absorb Fog from the creatures of this Earth. I should test it out," Lucian mumbled, then he raised his hands, and just as we control our limbs, Lucian willed them to move.
Instantly, a red fluidic substance moved from his hands at an incredible speed, then it turned into blades and slashed at the ceiling, which was almost twenty ters high, leaving two deep marks on the surface. powered-by-MvLeMpYr
"W- Whoa, it almost looks like Venom, and I can move it around as if I am just controlling my limbs and fingers," Lucian spoke, feeling amazed as he retracted the blades.
It was red in color and had black patterns over it, the fluid-like substance moved exactly as he wished.
"I will call it Velm, let's try the next thing," Lucian spoke.
Then he extended one of his fingers and Velm ca out as it turned into a small blade.
Lucian made a cut on his left hand.
Blood dripped down on the floor, but with just a thought, the red substance covered his wound and replaced the skin.
Then it retracted, and his skin appeared over the wound, looking as good as new.
"The healing is quite fast. I guess I won't have to worry about injuries that much from now on. It is much better than I expected, in both healing and as a weapon," Lucian said as he glanced towards the ceiling.
Even with his full strength, he wouldn't have been able to leave that deep of a mark.
[Plus, it can also grow along with you, so in the future, as long as you feed it properly, it will beco extrely deadly.]
"Haha, I guess it really was worth it. But what's even more special is this fla. I wonder if it has any other ability," Lucian mumbled.
"Anyway, how much ti has passed?"
[It's already been more than a day, the entrance opened a few hours ago, so you can leave. Peter is waiting there for you.]
Lucian nodded, sure that Natasha must be quite worried about him by now, searching for him all over the place.
"Now for the last experint…" His gaze moved outside the room as he spoke, then he walked out of there and gazed at the snakes.
There were male snakes and female snakes. The male ones didn't have any Fog in their bodies, while the females had so Fog in theirs.
