Chapter 148 147. Return Of Eshwar.

THROB

"..."

'It is likely to be one of the Minotaur....'

'Minotaur' is a bull-like monster with a human-like body. It stands about 12 feet of average height, with the upper half of its body being human and the lower half being bull. Its neck is covered with a dark mane-like fur, and the bull half of its body is covered with a thick layer of dark-colored fur.

Orcs are 3-metre-long pale brown monsters. They not only look like humans, but they also possess intelligence similar to that of humans, they are hostile, cannibals, fight instinctively and are warriors by nature. Orc warriors are a type of Orc that will fight to the death if they start a fight. To be considered a winner, they must survive in a death match. Orcs and Orc warriors are easily distinguished because they are tattooed for each match they win. Tattoos are typically a single red stripe for each fight they survive, and they create a maze-like pattern on their body with each stripe they add.

And now I sensed the presence of exactly 56 Orc warriors in the village in front of me, as well as one single Orc warrior with a tremendous amount of aura oozing out of it, who was most likely to be the chief.

THROB

"...."

I had the feeling that if I moved right now, I could kill all of the Orc warriors without even getting hurt. Yes! I needed some physical pain to distract myself from the strange pangs near my heart, which felt like I was about to have a heart attack.

'I-If not for you!' Isha's voice sounded in my head.

THROB

'Haa...' I sighed inwardly.

I didn't understand why her words had such an impact on me... maybe I would have thought differently if they hadn't, but I still thought I'd get over it...wait...

'Why am I thinking like it's been years?' I suddenly realized that I was either thinking too fast or too slow because my sense of time had become strange, and I began to think of many other things that happened prior the curse was activated to get my mind back on track.

"Huu..." I took a deep breath to calm down and leaped on to the tree's branch, sat on with my back facing the tree and closed my eyes.

THROB

BA-BUMP (6x)

I heard my heart as soon as I began to concentrate, and it sped up as I began to feel that something had changed, and I needed to figure out what it was. I opened my eyes and looked at the village from the corner of my eye because I needed a safe place to check the changes, so I decided to kill them and use 'materialisation' in the village.

CREAK (5x)

The trees around me froze and creaked as needles of ice materialized above me, slightly mixed with green colour, which were the 'shattered or broken' tree leaves.

THROB

"Rainfall." I muttered as I raised my right hand in the air and released my palm down lightly.

SHWOOMMM

The needles propelled forward as they left behind a very small circular wind pressure, and because there were thousands of them, they cancelled each other out, though it didn't really matter to the ice needles as they were already over there raining upon the village.

Because they were too small, they could pierce their shacks with ease and attack even those who were inside of it, the ice needles simply stuck on the Orc warrior's bodies as if the Orcs were going through an acupuncture. It was frost magic trick that I developed as a 'debuff' which would slow down the enemies movements or completely halt it, though they could be lethal if its speed was adjusted.

SWISH

As soon as I felt that the needles had successfully rained down on them, I disappeared from the spot I sat and appeared right in front of the entrance of the village.

''Gri!?"

"Grui!"

"Grr?"

The groans of the Orc warriors filled the area, which I promptly ignored until I reached the center of the village, I crouched down and placed my hand on the ground.

"Domain materialization." I mumbled.

SHWISH

WHOOSH

I pushed down on the ground, a small circle of muddy wind rose around my palm, and soon after, a chilled white breath seeped out from the bottom of my palm and rippled, growing in size and volume as it pulsated, the small circle of wind pressure blew out and rose up to the knee level by the time the pulse moved a step away from my palm.

SHWOOOOMMM

Everything around me froze, including the acupunctured Orc warriors, which sparkled and glistened brightly in the sunlight, the shacks turned into translucent light blue crystals, and everything else was in the same state, except the 'living,' which did not turn translucent, and the ground had turned to a shiny ice floor forming a pattern of a massive 12 branched snowflake that consumed around 300 meters of the surrounding area.

SHIMMER

"...." I ignored everything around me and stared at my palm.

CRACK

I pushed down my palm again, and this time a slight crack appeared beneath my palm that only expanded towards the 'living,' and cracks appeared in a vertical line on all of the crystallized Orc warriors, killing them on the spot as a puff of smoke broke free from the crack.

PUFF

​ "...."

ZZWWWOOOSHHH

SHOOOP

A reverse ripple of the 'Puff' formed on the giant 12 branched snowflake floor that shot in towards me and shot up, covering me in a thick layered white cocoon, and everything in my sight turned dark as the space morphed into my domain as I desired.

"...." I kept my eyes closed as the space morphed because I knew what would happen...

"Hm?" I felt a hot yet extremely cold sensation around me, which forced me to open my eyes because I was used to the extremely cold sensation but not the hot one, and the answer to my question was right in front of my eyes.

It was the Black Dragon's Fire which was an attribute which I imbued with my Frost trait.

"Hmm..... It's not what I desired...."

"Is it because I started to get more comfortable with the 'Trait' and not employ the mana as I did in the past?" I muttered and looked around; there was black flame covering the entire black domain, but it was only visible because of its small white flame that glowed in the middle of the black dragon's flame, and of course the dark purple patches were an exception because they weren't lit in the black flames, the Earth still had its golden rings, the massive new globe had its own golden ring, and....

"!"

The giant clock which previously displayed... [06s: 29m: 11h: 296d: 1669y] was now displaying....

(AN: From ch-111 'A perfect devil's domain.')

[29s: 52m: 12h: 321d: 1733y]
