2952 Black Beam

‘Why hasn’t it been activated?’ Shael asked as she looked at the white crystal, which was still sucking off the energy from the pool.

Rhaek had said it wouldn’t take more than fifty seconds, but it had already been one and a half minutes, and still, the attack hadn’t activated.

She looked at Zaar and the old snake; she couldn’t even see their figure since that dangerous fire had come out of nowhere. It had destroyed hundreds of miles of areas, vaporized the water in the lake, and crystalized the earth.

She could sense the power of fire from where she was fighting humans, and it scared her. She is confident she will be burned to death if she dares to touch that fire.

She won’t know where the fire comes from; it could be from Zaar, but also an old snake. Likely an old snake, a century ago, he had boasted of having found a great fire, and this is likely the fire he was talking about.

Only something this powerful could make an old snake boast so loudly.

Twenty-two seconds passed when finally, all the energy in the pool was sucked by crystal, and it lit up like the blazing sun.

“It is time to say goodbye to the world, old snake, Zaar,” said Shael with a smile on her face.

….

“NOOO….”

Screamed the old snake as the thing protecting its particle disappeared, and the flame attacked its particles finally.

“Ahhhhhh….”

The old snake screamed as the flame covered the particle and began to burn them with greater intensity than it had to divine energy.

It is burning the old snake, but also me; the method had connected its life and mine together, and if it dies, I will die too.

The particles of the old snake had burned, and with it, I had burned too; we both screamed so loudly that I wasn’t able to differentiate whether the scream had come from it or me, not that it mattered, seeing the result would be the same.

…

Sup!

A tiny black dot of extremely concentrated energy formed out of the crystal, taking all the energy it had gathered before disappearing as it broke through the space.

Shael also let go of focus from her projection; it won’t take the energy more than three seconds to reach the old snake and Zaar.

A minute after that, they will die.

…

Hun!

Suddenly, I overcame a strange feeling, and even through this pain, I was able to feel it, and I was not the only one feeling it; the old snake was also feeling it, but differently.

Instead of strangeness, it is feeling an extreme threat that even I am able to feel from it.

Sup!

A moment later, I felt something entering me, and it did; a black beam of energy had entered inside me.

Boom!

It did not even stayed still for a moment before it exploded into thousands of pieces, and to my surprise. The pieces went toward the particles, and they were strong enough to pass through the fire before seeping inside the particles.

It couldn’t help but shock me.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

AHHHHH….

“You bastard, Rhaek!” shouted the old snake before I saw the formation on each particle breaking in before my eyes flashed in the alarm.

As I had said before, if something happens to the formation, the particle becomes unstable and explodes.

The beam is cracking the formation, and it is making the particles explode.

It is also doing another thing that, for the first time, gave rise to hope in my heart that I might be able to live through this.

With the formation cracking rapidly, the defenses of particles weakened a lot, and the more cracks, the lower its defenses would get.

As that happened, the fire took full advantage of it and seeped inside, wanting to burn it from within, not caring how the particles were destabilizing. It just wants to burn it all while purified substances drip through it.

I am also feeling the effect of it, but the effect is much lower due to the weakening of the formation of the particles.

If the formation kept weakening up and the fire burned it all before all the particles would explode.

There is a chance I might truly be able to survive, though my condition would be bad, and I might be messed up enough that I might not be able to practice again, but this is not a time to be worried about those things.

Currently, the only thing I need to care about is survival; only after that will, I need to worry about other things.

This black beam is really something; it was doing what even the white fire wasn’t able to do it.

It is breaking the formation, which was not an easy thing, as even though the white fire started burning the particle, the formation remained unharmed.

If I am right, then the beam was made to target the method, and it is likely the old werewolf who did that; the old snake had screamed its name.

Now the old snake is screaming under the dual assault; I don’t think it could even form a coherent thought with the pain it is feeling. As the beam was still breaking the formation, the fire had seeped inside every particle and burned them from within.

I am also suffering a lot of damage, my body and soul are breaking, as the formation maintains the connection as it breaks, but the damage is far lesser compared to what the old snake is suffering.

Seconds passed, and the particles became even more unstable, but also the fire had become even more intense.

It is becoming a race against time now, whether the particle explodes the first or the fire burns it into the ashes.

My life depends on it, and any person I wish to survive.

A few more seconds passed, and now half of the particles had been burned. I could tell it had done irreversible damage to the old snake, that now, no matter what happened, there was no way the old snake would survive through this.

The formation is also nearly hanging by the threat, which lessens the effect of the fire on me, but I could still see the huge damage that had been caused to my body and soul, but I did not decide to think about that.

Nine seconds later, the formation snapped, completely broken up.

Two things happened once after that; the powerful aura shot off them while they began to vibrate fast, ready to explode in a second.

The second thing that happened was the fire seeped into the particles like a flood, as with the formation collapsing, all the defenses of the particles have also collapsed.

I stopped breathing as in a second, I would know whether the particles exploded and killed me or the fire burned the particles before that happened.

boom boom boom

A second felt like an hour as I saw the particles glowing like supernovas ready to explode, and they did, but before the explosion could spread, it was swallowed by the white fire, leaving nothing behind.
