As abruptly opened his eyes and sat up on the floor. He looked around and finally sighed when he saw the familiar environnt he was in, a few monts back.
"Y-you finally woke u-up!" Kiba was sitting beside him, waiting for him to wake up.
Seeing his way of speech and ek attitude, As realized that this was Kiba and not his big brother character right now.
"What happened?"
"You lost c-consciousness during the h-healing process. Big brother asked to wait and call him when you woke up!"
"How long was i out?"
"You’ve been unconscious for two days!"
As was shocked. he felt like he just woke up after a sleep, but two days had passed.
"I’ll call big brother then!"
"W-wait! Wait! Don’t call him now! let us talk first!"
"A-About what?" Kiba asked, confused.
"Well...anything like...yes! I didn’t ask your brother’s na! what is he called?"
"Shatun!"
"Shatun? Are you two from the desert tribes?"
"H-How did you know?" Kiba asked in shock.
"I guessed! The na sounded familiar to a friend I knew. He was from the desert tribe too!"
"What was his n-na?" Kiba curiously asked.
"He was called Shakul!" As replied as Kiba nodded.
"Alright! We talked! I’ll call big brother n-now!"
"WAIT! Why are you so eager to call him! Let him rest! He asked to recover my magic so why don’t I do that first! Then you can call him here to eat !" As said with a convincing smile.
Kiba looked down at the floor as if he was contemplating on the proposal, but then the air turned heavy and As t the glowing red bloodthirsty eyes when Kiba lifted his head up again.
"You dare play gas with my innocent brother?" Shatun growled at As.
As couldn’t say anything! He was taken aback by the sudden character exchange and was caught red handed manipulating the other.
Shatun got up and moved towards his throne and took a seat.
"I didn’t think you’d be able to survive! But you did! I’m impressed!" He praised As as he nodded his head in approval. "How will you gather mana now though?"
Just then As realized that the main problem starts now. His circles were broken, he couldn’t channel mana nor can he cast magic, how would he be able to survive this monster.
There were no known thods or potions that can heal a broken circle in the heart. Even an archmage can’t perform such a miracle.
He was racking his brain for ideas, thinking for any viable option right now. just then he rembered about Luke’s book he saw at the restaurant.
’Chakra! yes! He said only those who don’t have a circle in their hearts can perform this thod! If I take my current state into consideration, I am fully eligible!’
"Why are you silent? can you not?" Shatun asked irritated, he was getting impatient.
"I can! There is a way! But I’ll need a place with lots of life energy!"
"Look around you. There is only death here! All the life is in my stomach! Hahahaha!" he laughed out loud but then imdiately turned serious as he said his next words.
"So that ans you can’t then! Good! The wait’s over! Let savor you now!" he started growling as his canines started showing out, ready to pounce at As.
A chill went down As’s spine. Fear gripped his senses as he realized Shatun was serious this ti. He tried to think of many ways in that small ti fra, but nothing ca to mind.
He grew visibly frustrated and impatient when he then finally yelled out. "WAIT!"
"What now? Were you just delaying ti and trying to make a fool out of ?" Shatun asked in a hoarse voice, anger visible in his voice.
"No! I’ve found a different thod! I’ll need a bit of ti to gather mana." As said.
"Hmmm.....alright! I’ve waited this long! I’ll wait so more than!"
As sighed in relief. He finally escaped this imdiate death call.
"There is no other way! If I’m going to die anyway, I’ll just take the risk where I don’t beco food for soone else! I’ll embrace death itself then!"
A determined expression appeared on his face. He steeled his mind and sat on the bony floor in a lotus position.
Since there was no life energy, he would take in the death energy to form his chakra. As knew the consequences of taking death energy inside his body, he would beco the very dark wizard he was frad into, but to survive and take his revenge, he had no qualms if he had to beco the devil himself.
He closed his eyes and rembered the mantra he saw in the book and almost lost his life to.
"If I die then I’ll co back as a spirit to kill those bastards!" As sighed and started chanting the mantra.
’I am for a matter, dust from the vast cosmos, for my soul is the truth in this body of lie. Let connect to your will and be under your shade. Let harness that which is just but a speck in your vast domain...Let serve you as you are darkness itself, and I your eternal servant’
As was shocked, he knew the last words of the mantra were not there when he saw it in the book and he chanted it out without himself knowing, as if soone else was making him chant out those words.
He wanted to stop many a tis, but he didn’t have control anymore, the ancient shrilling whispers of the mantra kept reverberating in the air.
The vast cosmos had appeared in the surrounding, but instead of the grandness, dark stars and realms had projected in them.
The whispers were far from any holy ancient voice and were like millions of demons whispering into one’s ears.
A black ancient runic circle with sunflower petals like pattern around the circumference started forming behind his back just below the naval region.
The black fog of death energy above started forming a tornado as it fell on As, the energy being sucked in by the chakra.
At the sa ti, in a distant dark and hellish realm, where thunder and lightning kept on falling continuously and dark shadowy beings road around, flying around sothing like the figure of a man.
There were two long and thick pillars at a distance from each other and nurous silver chains attached to it. The other ends of the chain were pierced inside the body, legs and wrists of a man on his knees between the pillars.
His hair had turned gray and so long that they fell on the floor. His body was covered with black tattoos all around and had a long grey ssy beard.
His hands were held in the air with the chains and his head down, towards the ground.
Just then, he abruptly opened his eyes, revealing two crimson eyes. He looked up at the skies as a wide grin ford on his face, revealing those sharp canines and two horns on his temples that were cut.
"Hahahaha!! HAAAHAHAHA!! Finally! My salvation is here! Rise! Rise to darkness, beco death itself and spread chaos! I’ll wait till the finale!!" a wide grin spread on his lips.
