'What...? Am I about to see the Naless King die?! Wain inwardly exclaid with his eyes wide open as he could not believe it. Whether he wanted to or not, he was the heir of the Naless King, so to know how the strongest man in history died was a true treasure for him.
The Abyss Artist stepped forward, stared at Naless King, and with a deadly serious look asked, "You do realize that I was counting on this to be the most desperate step? Your condition is bad, but we still have ti to find a way to cure you. Are you sure that's what you want to do?"
His answer could have determined his life as Abyss Artist actually had little chance of finding a better solution since he was one of the smartest people in the entire world, however, Naless King answered almost instantly, "Yeah, I'm ready. Start as soon as possible, as I'm feeling worse by the second. I'm not going to rot from the inside out. What's more, I'm not the only one running out of ti..." The Naless King's face beca aningful.
Abyss Artist flinched at Naless King's cold voice, that rippled through his body, then he nodded, "Well, I don't agree with you, but I'll accept whatever you decide, including this."
Naless King smiled slightly, nodded, and muttered, "Hah, you never change... Well, that's exactly what I like about you."
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Space trembled as a trendous amount of energy burst forth from the Abyss Artist. Darkness emanated from his body in great torrents, filling everything around him. At the sa mont, hundreds of magical circles appeared on the stone walls, protecting the place from total destruction due to too much pressure.
"I've done the math and we'll probably make it, however, I can't do it alone." The Abyss Artist said in a serious voice as he turned his head, his eyes fixed on sothing to the left of the Naless King.
Wain didn't notice it at first since all his attention was focused on the Abyss Artist, but next to Naless King was a long sword with a powerful aura and Wain knew exactly what it was.
'Gladius... right, he was the sword of the Naless King, no wonder he is here. Damn, he really is the greatest weapon that belonged to the strongest human... I hope soday I can use its full potential.' Wain wondered as he got goosebumps.
Gladius, too, began to release his energy, and along with the Abyss Artist, their combined power seed endless. Though Wain's attribute was darkness, even he was uncomfortable with the energy they were emitting.
"You need my help, don't you?" Gladius asked in a majestic voice.
"Exactly, if my theory is correct then we need two different types of energy, but they should be about the sa power and be in the sa domain." Abyss Artist explained as he put his palm to his chest.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Streams of darkness rushed toward him, turning into several streams and penetrating his body with great speed.
"I see... We all possess the attribute of darkness, so you and I are perfect candidates for your crazy plan, aren't we?" Gladius clarified.
"Yeah, you're quick thinking as always." Abyss Artist nodded with a slight smile.
"So... What do I need to do? Just gather energy in one spot just like you do?" Gladius asked as even before the answer he directed all the energy to himself.
"Right. However, I must warn you that this thod has serious consequences for you and ." Abyss Artist said as he clenched his palm in a fist.
"What exactly are you talking about?" Gladius uttered in a calm voice as he had assud from the beginning of their conversation.
The whole ti Naless King was silent, letting his mates do what they had to do. He knew it would be a serious blow to them, but he also knew that they would never back down if it could help him, so he had no right to stop them.
"After I activate the spells, there will be trendous pressure on both of us. I'll lose most of my powers and energy for a very long ti, but sothing else will happen to you. The Abyss Artist uttered with a complicated expression as he stared at Gladius, "After all, you are a weapon, so for you, the consequences will be different. You will retain your power, but you will no longer be whole."
"Hmm...?" Gladius muttered in a confusion.
"You will be shattered into many pieces, so until they all beco one again you will not be able to regain your power as well as your mory." The Abyss Artist spoke as his words rang through Gladius' mind like thunder.
Gladius understood that the Abyss Artist was serious, but still, to hear such a thing was sothing unreal to him since he could not be broken.
"Shit, so the only one who can break is ? Damn, that's what I call irony..." Gladius uttered in a daze.
"Yeah... That's right..." Abyss Artist sighed as he waved his hand.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Space trembled as a huge black magic circle appeared beneath them. It was very complicated because it consisted of many different runes and formations, even great magicians would be surprised by the unusual structure of the spell behind this magic circle.
"Well, it's ti to start, isn't it?" Naless King asked with a calm expression, but he wasn't looking at the Abyss Artist, he was looking away as if there was sothing important.
"Sure, you're right. If we can pull this off, we can do a real miracle, though our chances are pretty slim." Abyss Artist uttered before waving his hand.
One of the walls trembled, turned to ink, and disappeared revealing a secret room.
"What the fuck...?" Wain's eyes went wide as a shiver ran through his body when he saw what was inside.
There were six beds in the room. On beds were n with exhausted looks on their faces. Wain would not have been so surprised if those n had not been the other six forms.
