Life Hunter

While people were talking about him, Arima conjured a s.p.a.ce-time dimension one more time. He started training the fusion between the eight elements.

Not that far from him, Night and Lanya were sparring together. At some point, the shock waves. .h.i.tting Arima infuriated the latter "Could you stop already, it has been 48 hours since you began! Take a break!" He shouted with a voice that created another shock wave, directly touching the two.

Night and Lanya were shook and stopped immediately. The latter who was in her draconic form released it immediately and came back to Arima"s side to sit.

Night shrugged took the form of a small cub before jumping on Lanya"s shoulder "Alright, alright. Did you finish your thing?" He asked

Arima glanced at him "I don"t know" He said and looked at his hand. He was holding a purple sphere that seemed to contain a dangerous level of energy.

"Is it that thing? Why is it purple?" Lanya asked in curiosity.

Arima played a bit with the sphere "It"s not purple" He said and Lanya tilted her head. Then she saw that the sphere was starting to change of color, it became green then blue, yellow, red… then finally returned to purple "I just blocked it to be purple" Arima said.

"Why that color particularly?" Night probed

"No reason. Just because I like it" Arima answered while staring at the sphere.

Night grunted "So? Why you"re saying that you don"t know? Shouldn"t you know yourself if it"s good or not?"

"Well, the problem is that I don"t know if I"m going in the right direction, look" Arima raised the sphere and placed it in front of Lanya and Night. The purple sphere suddenly transformed in a ball of fire, then it became water, lightning, earth and even wind. Each time the color was purple and the energy inside didn"t change.

"When I fused all of the elements I got this. I think I actually created a universal element, but it"s useless, it just changes the color and maybe raise the power. But, that"s not what I aimed for" Arima frowned and said.

Lanya stared at the sphere for some reason "What if you use Light or Darkness with this?"

Arima looked at her "Well, this" He said and the sphere became light purple, the after that it deemed strongly and turned into dark purple.

"Well, that"s what you can expect from black and white, they are not really made to mix with others…" Arima stopped speaking and his eyes widened. After a moment of silence, he started laughing, and gave a kiss on Lanya"s forehead.

"Thanks to you, I finally know what was wrong" He said and crushed the purple sphere he had in his hands. Lanya had stopped working though, the gears were not turning anymore.

"Night, bring her out of here, I can"t predict what will happen" Arima grinned and said.

Night sighed and became a dragon one more time, he grabbed Lanya with one hand and flew away, when he was few miles away, he turned back and looked at Arima.

"If you are not supposed to be mixed together, the let do it separately" Arima said and at his left, two huge b.a.l.l.s of Light and Darkness appeared. At his right, six huge spheres of different colors formed, they joined together and formed a huge purple ball.

"Let"s go" Arima turned to look back at the two spheres of opposite attribute. His sigil started turning and glowing. Arima pointed his palms at each ball and slowly made them get closer. When the Light and Darkness touched, the earth directly crumbled below and Arima took a step back.

The latter smirked "Of course, when you two are fused together alone, it"s harder, huh?" He commented and took a step forward "Let me teach you who"s the one ordering" He declared.

The white and black spheres started fusing together and each second, they were interacting with each other, the force produced just kept becoming stronger and stronger.

After a few seconds, Arima was already doing his best to not lose control and being blown away at the same time.

The repercussions easily reached Night and Lanya, the former was doing his best to fly away and reduce the shock received. Actually, he could leave the dimension at any time he wanted, but to be honest, he was extremely curious about the result.

After a minute, the earth around Arima had already crumbled for miles. And it felt like the gravity had increased by a hundred-fold.

But it was at the same time that two opposite forces finally fused together and became a white and black sphere.

Arima breathed and fell on one knee. He wasn"t panting, he just breathed in and out once, and looked up. Two huge spheres were hovering there. One was black and white while the other was totally purple.

Arima stood up and grinned "Let"s see what you can do" He said, the two spheres trembled, they started to slowly advance toward each other.

For some reason, Night"s eyes narrowed "{Hey! Arima! That thing!}" He shouted to Arima with a telepathic link, but he was interrupted by a blinding silver light that attacked him.

Night roared and turned around to protect Lanya and instantly left the dimension. He reappeared on a plain in the other side. His whole body was fuming, he was hull of injuries and coughed some blood. All of that happened to him while he only stayed for a few seconds in that silver light.

As for Lanya, fortunately, Night protected her in time. Now she was trying her best to heal Night with tears in the corner of her eyes.

Night grunted and became a small wolf pup "s.h.i.t!" He cursed "At least in this form I can heal faster"

Lanya grabbed him and started carrying him in her arms "Master, what happened?" She asked

"I think something unexpected occurred, that even Arima couldn"t predict" Night said with a darkened expression.

Lanya increased her grip on Night "Is Arima okay?" She asked, if Night had received that much injuries from just the light produced, what could have happened to Arima who was at the center.

Night fell silent "He didn"t die, that"s a cert.i.tude, I would sense it otherwise. But I don"t know what happened. I can"t reach him right now. We"ll wait until I feel something, then we"ll go back inside" He declared and Lanya nodded.

******************************************

In a plain covered by blue gra.s.s, illuminated by two red suns.

"What"s your plan?" A burly old man leading a group of people was looking at a man with a pale countenance, dark outfit and creepy white eyes. That dark man was looking back at him with a huge grin on his face.

"Tell me, Karaskan!" The old man shouted and the earth shook slightly.

Karaskan"s grin became even wider "Come on, Zeus. Why are you so angry?" He asked with a nonchalant voice.

Zeus furrowed "What"s the reason you got out of your lair like this? You also deliberately leaked your localisation"

Karaskan started laughing "Something interesting woke me up, so I thought I should start to act once more" He said

"Something interesting?" Zeus sneered "What did you find? A new way to spread your madness?"

Karaskan smiled and scratched his head "No, actually, I was threatened, kinda. So, I thought that maybe something fun would happen soon" He said

"Threaten? What are you ranting about?" Zeus was infuriated "Of course you would be threatened, how many G.o.ds do you think there is, that are ready to kill you?"

"The one who threatened me isn"t some measly G.o.d" Karaskan retorted "It"s a Life Hunter"

Zeus"s expression changed drastically "…Life Hunters are extinct, they can"t even exist in other planes than this one, you perfectly know that, right?"

Karaskan laughed lightly and looked at someone behind Zeus "Azes, what do you think?" He simply asked "If there is someone that can explain it, I think that it would be you"

"Mm?" Zeus frowned and glanced at Azes. The latter"s expression fell.

"…There"s maybe an explanation" He couldn"t help to say. If he had to lie, he should say the truth without talking about Arima.

"What is it?" Zeus hastened him.

"If a Life hunter left a seedling in a circuit less world, it"s possible that he could be hidden for a moment from Heaven" Azes explained.

"That"s ridiculous" Zeus instantly disagreed "Even if it was true, in a neutral world, even a Life Hunter wouldn"t be able to threaten a G.o.d"

At the same moment, the sky of Heaven became shrouded with a blinding silver light. Every G.o.d looked up and their eyes narrowed, some even started sweating and trembling.

Even Karaskan, Zeus and Azes were not spared from the shock. But the mad G.o.d soon started laughing like a crazy man "What are you saying now old man!? Who else except a Life Hunter could do that?"

Azes secretly smirked while Zeus"s expression was twitching "This light, this phenomenon, it"s not just some Life Hunter" He muttered

***********************************************

At the same time, in a giant throne room made of cold and blue granite. A man was sitting on the throne with his eyes closed. He was alone in this ma.s.sive room. He was wearing a magnificent red robe and his hair gleamed with a beautiful silver.

At some point, he opened his eyes which shined with a beautiful crimson color.

"In another plane, huh?" He muttered with an indifferent voice.

********************************************

When Lanya and Night returned inside the dimension, the first thing they saw after arriving was just stone, darkness, stars, no gravity…

They looked around "Not…possible" Night muttered in shock "The planet…is gone"

Literally, the planet had been destroyed, transformed into just some rocks and dust, deriving in outer s.p.a.ce.

Although Lanya was shocked, she still continued to look around for Arima. It was a piece of cake for her and Night to breathe here, as long as they used mana, they could even talk.

At some place, Lanya spotted some silver dust, which was surrounding something in a spiral. She then used her magic to blow away that mist.

What she saw made her yelp in surprise.

A figure was slowly drifting in s.p.a.ce. Long silver hair, deep purple eyes, an expression of absolute tranquility and coldness. Also, a silver lightning that would surround him time to time.

Night wryly laughed when he saw that "Hey, hey"

*****************************************

"I never thought that I would see this happen once again" Zeus said.

"What a great day to be alive" Karaskan rejoiced.

"A new one, huh?" The solitaire King commented and closed his eyes.

The three breathed in at the same time "A Silver Emperor is born"
