Chapter 549: Channeling The Chaotic Magic
In the throne room, King Gulben's eyes snapped open. His body coming to life as his spirit remained anchored in the otherworldly dimension.
His consciousness was now divided, yet the centuries of discipline and mastery over Magic allowed him to maintain control over both tasks. His expression was calm and his focus unwavering as he felt the flow of energy between realms.
He rose and walked toward the balcony. When he stepped out into the open air, soft silver light enveloped his body. Its glow brightening as he channeled his power.
Without waiting anymore, he lifted off the ground gracefully into the sky. He soared above the Elf Palace in just a matter of seconds, the shimmering silver aura creating a trail of light behind him.
Down below, the Elves and Aurdis watched through the yards and her windows, their eyes fixed on their king. Some whispered prayers even though they don't actually know what is he doing while others simply watched in awe. What they know is their king is definitely doing this for their sake.
Aurdis's eyes followed her father with a mixture of worry and admiration etched across her face. She knew the important part of what he was doing. It was a dangerous act that required immense skill and precision.
King Gulben hovered highher above the palace until the protection dome shimmering beneath him like a glassy shield. From his vantage point he could see the raging battle in front of him.
Erend and Eccar fought with everything ferociously, clashing against the two Harbingers of Doom. The air rippled with the raw energy of their attacks and each impact sent shockwaves of chaotic Magic coursing through the sky.
Sometime the there are rift in the air as if the fabric of reality was being torn apart by the power they wielded.
The chaotic energy start to becom thicker. Erend and Eccar probably doesn't know anything about what that.
The sight made King Gulben's eyes narrow. He could feel the dangerous vibrations emanating from the Magic.
He ascended higher, pushing beyond the limits of the dome. The moment he crossed its threshold the chaotic energy brushed against him.
King Gulben took a steadying breath, his eyes glowing as he summoned the power from the dimension he controlled, strengthening the connection. The silver light around him intensified and forming a protective shield as he prepared to channel the energy.
He start to said the spell in his mind.
"By my will and the power of my realm, I bind and contain!"
His hands moved in a precise pattern. The air around him responding with a hum of Magic. The chaotic energy swirled closer and he reached out with his power, pulling it toward himself that connected to his spirit within the other dimension.
He could feel the strain as the chaotic Magic resisted. It thrashing like a beast unwilling to be tamed. But King Gulben held his form and keep guiding the energy through the channel he had created.
Slowly, the wild Magic began to flow, pulled from the battlefield and into the depths of the hidden realm. The strain was huge because the force pushing back against him. But with his power he held his ground and he using every ounce of his will focused on stabilizing the flow.
As the chaotic energy funneled into the pocket of space he had tamed long ago, he whispered a final incantation, sealing the connection and locking the Magic within.
At this point, the chaotic Magic that the battle released will always be aborbed into his physical body and channeled into the separate dimension.

Aurdis watched with heart filled with anxiety as her father hovered above the palace. From her window, she could clearly see the chaotic Magic which had begun as faint wisps now thickening and twisting like dark tendrils, reaching out to her father as if they sought to pull him apart.
Each time one of the tendrils of energy connected with her father's body it was as if a powerful surge of lightning passed through his body.
The chaotic Magic coiled and writhed and funneled into him. His silver aura flared brightly in response, fighting back the darkness and stabilizing the flow.
But as the tendrils grew thicker and more numerous, Aurdis felt a tightness in her chest. The scene looked more like a battle than a ritual and the intensity made her hands tremble slightly against the windowpane. She didn't know that her father will make himself as the vessel for the chaotic Magic.
She saw her father's body tense as the dark energy surged into him, one tendril after another. Each one seemed more forceful than the last, lashing out and enveloping him before disappearing into the silvery light of his aura.
The way they twisted and coiled reminded Aurdis of tentacles trying to ensnare their prey. The sheer volume of energy pouring into her father's body was overwhelming and for a moment she feared that even he, with all his power, might not be able to bear it.
Her eyes flickered with uncertainty. "Isn't this too much?" she wondered, biting her lip.
Her mind raced as she felt the urge to act and somehow help him. But deep down, she knew she couldn't intervene. This was a task only the King could handle. Only someone with his mastery could safely contain such volatile Magic.
She forced herself to steady her breath. Her fingers gripping the edge of the window.

"He is strong enough," she said to herself in her mind, trying to push down the growing knot of fear in her stomach.
Aurdis knew she had to trust her father. He had always been a figure of unwavering strength for her and their people and she needed to believe that. Even now, he could withstand the power he was absorbing.
The tendrils continued to surge into King Gulben and the silver light surrounding him pulsed rhythmically, struggling against the force of the chaotic Magic.
Each pulse was like a heartbeat as a sign that the connection between his physical body and his spirit within the dimension still held strong.
The chaotic Magic flowed through him then disappearing into the realm he had opene, but the strain was begin to evident. His aura flickered but he maintained his composure.
