Chapter 3655 Counter
Hermes Library
"It is time," said the being.
"I thought you said you aren't going to take action?" I asked. "I didn't say that, I said, it is a trap," the being replied.
"So, what changed?" I asked. "It is time to have sprung our trap on them," said the being, and my tower lit up, even more brightly than last time, when the being hunted the Asear Vajaras.
I felt my heart beating wildly.
Last time, it helped in healing some damage to my tower. This one is stronger than it and will help me more with the damage; just thinking about it couldn't help but make me feel glee.
..
I heard the hidden being's voice and was about to ask her, when my library shone brightly, through my clones.
I was only able to see it for a moment, before my connection with my cut apart. Only to see the formation of strange runes covering them while the city, in which center we are standing, had also shone.
"Fuck, what is happening?" The joy they had with the death of the cultists had disappeared and now. The horror had reappeared, and many began to ask questions to Prime Sanadis.
She is looking at it all with a frown, with her abilities active, but seeing her expressions, she doesn't seem to be getting any answers.
She kept looking at the formation for a couple of seconds, when suddenly, that terrifying aura released from her and a moment later, an enormous ball of energy appeared above her.
'Fuck!'
I couldn't help but be shocked seeing that before the alarm flashed in my eyes. It is clear what is trying to do.
A deep sorrow appeared in her eyes, but also the resolve. She is using a last option, and she could legally. If we really feel, that we wouldn't be able to stop the cultist's sacrifice. Then one had the option to kill the people, that being sacrificed, to stop the cultists from benefitting from it.
It is the last option. It gets scrutinized, but powerhouses use it. Not only those from our organization but also from others. It is the law that is written in nearly every organization's constitution.
"Shit!" I cursed and opened my mouth to tell her what was happening. It will have a huge consequence, but at least I will be alive to face those consequences.
"S,"
I had just spoken the first word when she suddenly stopped by the shock in her eyes. She was so shocked that her whole body seemed to shake.
She controlled herself a moment later, and the attack was dissolved, while she looked around, with her powerful soul sense spreading, far and wide.
I was looking at her when the runes covering me began to shine as well. It took a second for them to make them shine brightly as the bulb, making the symbols that they had projected inside move toward our souls.
The horror deepened seeing that, while I watched as those symbols struck my soul.
"See!"
I sucked a deep breath in pain and was about to curse it when everything in front of my eyes turned white.
There is nothing other than a white, and this white didn't disappear at all as seconds passed. It remained for over ten seconds before everything cleared and it was not a city that appeared in front of me.
No, it is an enormous cavern; the biggest I had ever seen.
In the center of the cavern is a colossal being; bigger than the last Asear Vajaras and felt even stronger than it.
It is humanoid and with normal legs and six hands; these two are the only similarity, shared with the humanoids.
It didn't have a head instead of its neck, a thin red disk was floating. It had eyes, but they were on both sides of its chest; it had a mouth, but it is where its naval should be. There is no nose; it might have one behind, but I couldn't see it; nor I could move to see it.
Still, despite having such a horrifying appearance; those eyes and mouth form a realistic expression and currently there is a panic on them.
Millions of golden strings surrounded it; the string came out from each soul, that had those symbols imprinted on them. Sent by the tower, through the formation that connected us all.
…
'What is happening?' I asked in a panic.
A few seconds ago, everything was going well. It was going to imprint its mark on all the souls and going to use its sweet time to convert them all into its followers.
They would have helped it, reached the height that even most abomination would have talked to it respectfully, but now, those marks had become shackles.
Each one of the marks had sent those strange golden strings. From which they could, it could feel immense danger; it knew instinctively that if it didn't get out of these strings soon, it would end very badly for it.
It was trying, but these strings seemed to have strange power, that suppressed it on its spot.
It is helpless against them and now feels regret forever listening to them in its greed. It shouldn't have gone greedy and listened to them.
'They better save me, or I will curse them from the depth of the underworld,' I said. I was at least able to send the message. I hope it reaches them soon enough, that they saved me, or I am dead.
…
Urtinabar stopped as it received the message. Krinitibir, is in danger.
It thought for a moment, before deciding to turn toward the filthy Asear Vajaras. They might be lowly, but they need them against the titans; letting it die wouldn't be wise.
Hun!
It had just turned and about moved toward Krinitibir. When it stopped, everything turned purple around it.
"Why in so hurry?" asked a man who stepped out of the purple light.
…
The abomination isn't the only one who had stopped; the other three had stopped and the thing, that happened after shook, was all the powerhouses who could be sent what was happening outside of their world.
….
"Ahhhhh…"
Asear Vajaras is struggling hard, screaming, while these strings morphed into the familiar shape of the library, just like it had happened with the last Asear Vajaras.
It is trying to get away with everything it can, but the cage of the tower is too strong. It would not let it get away.
'Brace yourselves!' said the familiar voice, and the tower shone brightly, and also the strange runes inside me.
As it did, I felt the pain from my soul, pain, which got strong so quickly that tears started to come out of my eyes, and within the second, the first scream rang out of my mouth.
The pain kept increasing, till I couldn't bear it anymore and I wanted to let it all go, but I held on. I remember what the being had said last time, I need to bear it and I will do it.
So, I did, till I felt my very soul being torn apart.
The pain seemed to have lasted for days before it finally stopped and I let go of everything, falling unconscious despite the risks.
