Chapter 775 - The Culmination Of His Life
Chapter 775 - The Culmination Of His Life
-----
It was the beautiful culmination of his experiences, research, and study of magic.
And of his two beloved elements.
Why did the chaos spear stopped, you may wonder?
It was simple, the moment this spell was conjured, everything was made into the Gray Sage's domain.
But this also costed him greatly… his life was fading away, as his entire body slowly began to turn into darkness and light, and fading away…
The entire world around felt it too.
This powerful spell didn't simply encompassed a small area.
It went all around the world.
The entire globe.
It was a world-level spell, the first spell of this category to have ever been created in this world.
It was an all-encompassing spectacle, just was as all-encompassing as the Gray Sage was.
A spell designed to negate all other spells.
And to negate even magic.
By generating a truly neutral zone were only darkness and light merged together existed.
Suddenly, all across the world, all magic was negated.
POOF!
The chaotic spear disappeared in an instant.
"W-What?!"
The artifacts began to explode and break apart…
BOOM! CRASH!
"Eh!?"
And then… the woman's ghost, she began to simply disappear.
"What kind of stupid spell is this?! I've never seen something… capable of negating all magic!!!" cried the woman's ghost.
"This is the culmination of my life… Have a taste of it."
TRUUUUMMMM…!
Suddenly, she felt as if all of existence around her was trying to destroy her!
"Uuhngngh…?! Aagahggh…! No…! Nooooo! My purpose…! I have to… I have to fulfill it!!!" cried the woman.
The Gray Sage stood there in silence glaring her down, as his entire body slowly dissipated into light and darkness…
"May… your soul… rest in peace…" he said.
The ghost began to slowly dissipate away, as the core of it, the pure and pristine soul, slowly began to fly away, dragged by the supernatural forces that ruled over souls in this world…
"Unnnggggh…! Aaaghhh! No…! My lord…! I am… sorry…"
FLASH!
The woman disappeared, as the last evil was vanquished, and the magic circle below was also destroyed, dissipating into ashes.
The Gray Sage smiled faintly as he looked at how everything turned out to be…
He nodded as he looked into the open ceiling, which led to the beautiful starry sky.
"Yamina… I am joining you now… I hope… you can forgive this old man…"
The Bleu Sage looked like his teacher and father figure slowly dissipated into darkness and light…
"Make sure to appreciate life as it is, son…" he said a last time, a simple sentence filled with the meaning behind the old sage's philosophy.
"Old man… No…" cried the Blue Sage.
The Gray Sage's dissipated, as he only left behind his gray and old feather, which fell at the same spot as the red feather of the Red Sage.
Both feathers crossed with one another, as the moonlight shone brightly atop them…
Two Sages that had sacrificed themselves to protect the world had died, the menace of the Hivemind had been stopped by the mere mortals that he always looked down into.
The Hivemind, naturally, raged.
Within the depths of the planet of Eden, the final battle had already begun, the sea of Hivemind spawns were being easily destroyed by the split souls and the twin goddesses, as they continued to spread their powers around, the last remnants quickly turned into ashes.
At the end, the only thing left was now a gibbering mass of flesh at the end of the cave, glaring down at them with an enormous crimson-red eye.
"No… this can't be…! My ritual was completely stopped… What sort of magic was that?!" he wondered, glaring down upwards into the surface…
Meanwhile, Veronica and Ervas began to quickly rush towards him. Veronica in her enormous, armored form, and Ervas in the form of a giant made of wood and covered in nature.
They were followed by a gigantic bat encompassed in darkness, and a beautiful sheep made of light.
And to their sides, there was a large Arachne and a gigantic purple slime…
They were finally coming to finish what had begun long ago.
This was it.
Veronica looked at the beast in front of her, as she recalled the past of this world, and everything they had gone through since they left this planet after terraforming it.
Thinking back then, it felt completely crazy for them to have imagined things would escalate to this point…
It was all like a beautifully written book, in some sort of way.
Ervas couldn't help but think the same, and so did a beautiful fairy with blue wings that emerged at their side, Aurora, who had rested enough and had recovered most of her energy.
"It is time to finish you off, Hivemind." Said Ervas.
"Or as you like to be called now… Dark Lord of the Depths?" Asked Veronica.
"You… Youuuu! I won't go down without a fight! I won't…! I WON'T!!!" roared the Hivemind.
FLAAASH!
A sudden shockwave of darkness was unleashed all around the cave, but that powerful shockwave was easily blocked by everyone!
CLAAAASSHH!
However, that wasn't the intent of the Hivemind!
"This bastard… What is he doing?!" asked Veronica.
"His small soul… it is attempting to leave his physical body?!" asked Ervas in shock!
"I won't go down without a fight! Hah! You believed that?!" laughed the Hivemind.
His entire soul began to fly across the dungeon, quickly reaching the surface!
His soul had turned into something similar to a ghost at this point, an enormous ghost of darkness…
But he needed more power to achieve his goals, divinity!
The group was left down below, while he flew towards the castle where his ritual went badly, mostly everyone inside was dead, but there was a large quantity of surviving cult members outside which had hidden underground, they all had faith for him, alongside the entire population through a special spell that brainwashed them.
"Your god had arrived! Pray to me! PRAY!"
The people heard his monstrous and malicious voice, as they all began to pray!
