Chapter 545: Ryun

Ends Authority

The change was slow in coming, at first Ryun in ways that he had never felt before. It was as if the core of his entire being had changed. Oblivion felt revitalized, but also changed, as if it wasnt really just Oblivion anymore. He felt connected to so much more than just it. And True Death was the same. Before, he could feel the separation between the two and his Soul. It could take on the attributes of either of his two main Aspects, but it was still a Soul flavored by them. Now there wasnt such a separation anymore.Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

His Soul was the End, and it encompassed all of it.

His body remained the same, in the form of the Reaper, but he could feel Oblivion seeping back into his core, could feel True Death there too.

In the distance, Raazel dodged Nayras attack from above. Fire rained down on him, and a shield around him blazed brightly, protecting him. Zach was attacking from a distance, as was Nahamassa. Then several things happened at once. Lances of light burst out of his shield, taking all three of them down.

Ryun took a step, and knew that both Selia and Erdania did the same. The world around them changed. With Erdanias step, the ground rippled and transformed from the pale and cold earth into a dark stone surfacenot unlike Worldstone. He could feel the oppressive pull of Gravity intensify, though it didnt affect him at all. Raazel though stumbled.

With Selias step, the bare trees shook, leaves grew on every branch, dark green and black in color. The bark turned white, and turned from the sickly and old, weathered tree trunks into something that held a glimpse of a vitality that it once held. Ryun could see a life lived on the surface of each tree, as if a story was written on their surface.

Beyond the trees, the sky filled with stars vanished, replaced by the endless nothingness, Oblivion. Ryun could feel the plane of his Aspect, of his being surround this world, and knew that the final end came to all things that walked this place.

With every step he took, more strength flowed inside of him. His core rippled with changes, his Qi becoming something else. It was as if he lost his connection to the Plane of Oblivion, and was instead connected directly to his own existence. His Soul, which he could feel growing with every passing moment.

He dodged to the side and alerted Selia and Erdania to do the same.

In the moment before Raazel could do something else, he jumped forward, running on air. He leaned on his power, the Pull of the End and focused it on Raazel. He was drained, Ryun could feel it. His Soul had been spent, he was nearing his end.

Runes flashed, but Ryuns power hastened their end, collapsing their effects before they could even be born. With the Coming of the End, he focused on the world around him on the Essence of Light. All Essences within this domain was theirs to control, and he utilized that control and his power.

He took away the idea that Light carried information, that it allowed people with eyes to see. Ryun, Selia, and Erdania didnt need it. Through their link he let them see through his eyes, let them sense through his perception.

Raazel pulled back, panic clear on his face as more Essences lost their concepts. Sound no longer carried through the Air, nor did scent.

Ryuns being expanded, his density flowing out of his vessel and into the world. The Reaper remained, but he was so much greater now. He spilled onto the ground and into the air, into the trees and everything else.

He felt Selia and Erdania doing it too, and was surprised for a moment, then understood that this was the path he had already been walking on. Their Authority was different than his, they had a common threadTrue Deathbut each had its own domain, and the complete dominion over it.

They closed in on Raazel as he turned his head in circles, Ryun was certain that he could perceive through other means too, perhaps feel Souls themselves. But losing senses he had relied on for so long had to be a blow.

Ryun prepared his will and intent of his Authority, focused it on Raazel in order to bring about his End.
