Chapter 2325 - Suck

"I Would Have Liked To Have The Original Fire, It Would Have Helped Me But Now, I Will Have To Make Do With This Fake Weak Imitation." Said the Ancient Being. 

"How Far Ive Fallen To Need To Use Such Weak Thing." It added lamentingly before the primordial runes lit up blindingly, and before I understood what was happening, I saw fire so thick that it became liquid coming at me at incredible speed through the primordial runes.

The white fire enveloped me or rather primordial runes covering my whole body before seeping inside and directly going to my core.

This fire is hot beyond belief, so hot that it would destroy my world but strangely, I am not feeling the slightest heat. 

Though somehow, I understood how dangerous this fire seeping inside me is, it has the power to destroy the world, and now the ancient being hiding inside me is taking it without much problem.

I couldn't help but feel my head spinning with just the thought of guessing ancient beings' power. To do something like that, one needs to be extremely powerful, far above that of the primary level, and now my head is spinning with names of those levels.

I have read a lot of books, and there is mention of the levels that are above the primary level. There are many of them, and those at the top have the power to create the worlds and destroy thousands of them with their single breath.

I hope the Ancient Being would be quick because it sucking the fire out of the globe is not having any change in the temperature. Even if the globe disappears, the temperature will remain the same for quite a while.

The heat had already spread into the environment, and the things around here, most of the heat I am feeling is radiating from them.

I really hoped the ancient being had not frozen my moment; aside from breathing, I could not do any other physical activities, even twitch a little.

I don't know why it had frozen me and even asked it, but I did not receive any answer, and the worse thing is I could not access my core. It had somehow severed my connection with it while it feasted on the fire.

It had made me really angry, to be frozen like a puppet, but I did not let the anger cloud my mind and instead focused on the thing I could.

The globe of fire is getting sucked rapidly, far more quickly than I thought should be possible, and it did not take me long to see the reason. 

The primordial runes are compressing this extremely powerful fire before they send through the bridge. The fire would seep at me and get to my core without harming me. 

I do not know what an ancient being is doing with the fire; it may be consuming it, or it may be using it for practice or doing whatever it planned to do with it; I just hope that it did not do any damage to my core.

My core is the most important part of me, and I have stored my fortune inside it.

I do not think anything would happen; the ancient being is nothing if not careful. It will not damage my core or the things inside. I repeat these things in my mind to console myself, so I would worry too much.

A minute had passed by, and shockingly the primordial runes had sucked little more than 10% of fire from the huge globe, and its speed was increasing. Seeing that, a big bright smile couldn't help but appear on my face.

I had throught it might take a lot of time, probably an hour to more which would have been my end.

Feather did not have enough charge to keep me here at such a temperature for such a long time, but now, I did not have to worry about it. If it continued to suck the fire at such increasing speed, it would not even take ten minutes.

Six minutes! It only took six minutes for it to suck away every speck of fire inside the globe.

Hun!

I thought the runes would come back after they finished sucking up the fire but to my great shock. The runes have turned their gaze on the globe itself, which begins melting like glass and gets sucked into the runes as the fire did earlier.

The melted globe begins to come inside me, and I don't understand why? The fire I can understand, but this glass, even though it is extremely powerful and would be useless to me even if I got it seeing its level.

Sometimes, world-shaking artifacts could scrap metals in the hands of people who do not have the required ability to use them.

I was just thinking how I did not have any interest in the glass when my gaze fell on something which flashed my eyes with greed. 

The place on which the globe was standing had become crystalline white; I did not notice at first, but these white crystals are energy crystals containing so much power that I can get a hand on even a  fingernail-sized piece it could change the course of the war.

That crystal formed from leakage of heat from the globe for thousands of years and contains enough energy that the tiniest piece of it would allow Pyramid to activate all its functions, which would help us a lot.

From what I am able to find out that Pyramid is running at 50% of capacity and the reason for it is power.

It requires an immense amount of power that nearly all the energy crystals of very high grade are used to run the Pyramid. There is always a standing request for the high-energy crystals, and even I gave some of the very powerful energy crystals I had to the Pyramid.

Which are, of course, far from enough; the Pyramid requires energy crystals of the grade that Grand Lords had to scour the dangerous ruins for it; there have been many Grand Lords across the history who had not returned from such searches.
