"Let's see," FengFeng muttered as she released Mag'ladroth and walked away, "Also, you owe that kid an explanation," Said FengFeng.
"Yes," Mag'ladroth nodded and stepped on the ground.
"Blerghh!!" He fell on his knees as blood spurt out of his mouth, "Huh?" Confused, Mag'ladroth switched to a meditative pose as he searched deep inside his body. After all, it was impossible for him even to cough, not to mention blood coming out of his mouth. after all, this was his spiritual consciousness and not his real body. his real body was inside some hidden pocket of the universe, kept safely for when he would go back.
"What is wrong with me?" Mag'ladroth was lost as he found it hard to find the issue, "Guess i will take my time with it," Mag'ladroth thought as he raised his hand and pulled the powr of void. a strange scene occurred, the whole consciousness shook as the Void itself was projected into Ray's consciousness.
It was like a screen as the Void that was projected continuously showed the space. There was a huge planet, almost the size of the sun and had a whole belt of asteroids around it like the planet Jupiter did. Not to mention the seven moons that revolved around the planet.
"What is this?" Ray asked as he looked at the whole scene in awe. For someone who had only seen the outer space in movies and through mobile phones and broadcasts by the national space center. Therefore, seeing the whole space through the Void shocked him to the core. Deep inside, a feeling arose in his heart. It was the curiosity that every man had. It was to discover the depth of the vast space and find the purpose of everything. It was the feeling that. made him excited, made his blood boil as if he had found a path.
"Mag'ladroth, care to explain what you are up to?" Asked FengFeng as she had also arrived and stood besides Ray. her gown like dress was still dazzling as ever and her beauty was enough to captivate many with just a single smile.
"This is something important," Answered Mag'ladroth in a cold manner. Listening to his answer, FengFeng realized that Mag'ladroth was dead serious in whatever he was doing. therefore, she just motioned Ray to not disturb him and she also shut her mouth.
"Lets sit and observe," She told Ray as she procured a couple of comfortable chairs and sat down.
Ray nodded as he sat on the chair and watched Mag'ladroth. Right now, Mag'ladroth was putting all of his concentration into the Void and the planet he was observing through it. After a few moments of observation, Mag'ladroth's eyes lit up as he raised both of his hands and spread them out. With that, the whole scene was zoomed in but it wasn't just that. The whole scene changed and from what it seemed, it looked like someone traveling through the space and it was them who were observing the whole thing from that person's eyes.
"What is it?" Ray was confused and didn't understand one thing. Why did it feel that he was not watching some projection but the real view of the space and that too from his consciousness.
"I now get it. Seems like Mag'ladroth is checking over something important," Said FengFeng as she turned to face Ray and started explaining.
"You see, Mag'ladroth is using a technique known to very few in the whole universe. Using this, he can create a vessel for his powers and leave it hidden somewhere. Then, he can use that vessel as a part of his body and provide it with his strength and powers while controlling it from any corner of the universe. However, making a vessel is not only too hard but also very rare as the vessel must be strong enough to handle the creator's full strength. So for mythical creatures like us, we need to make a vessel that strong and also make sure that it aligns the best with our affinities and is compatible with out spirit," FengFeng took a pause as she let her words sink in Ray's brain.
"So what is he doing right now?" Asked Ray while pointing his finger at Mag'ladroth.
"Well, from what it seems like. He is looking for something in that planet and from what i can observe. The planet is at least a couple hundred million light years away from us," Answered FengFeng calmly. She was very curious for what Mag'ladroth was doing.
"Maybe this is why he was acting so strangely," She thought to herself.
"Hey Aurora!" Ray called out to Aurora as he spoke, "Please observe this and scan it all d=for later analysis,"
"Humph… Already ahead of you," She huffed with her arms crossed as she appeared right besides Ray. In her hand was an old looking film camera that she held on her shoulders and recorded the whole situation using it.
"Well, you have gotten accustomed to Earth's methods, culture and technology," Ray commented with a smirk.
"None of your business nerd," she scoffed and turned her head away as she ignored him.
Ray just looked at her and smiled, "At least she is overcoming her trauma and opening up more and more. Also, with Mag'ladroth and FengFeng being here, she has really gotten help and got rid of that previous defensive character," Thought Ray as he remembered the times when he got his system and had to deal with Aurora's rude character and her strange self when's he forgot to warn him about a lot of things and also about the times when she was scared of herself and even insecure of her actions even though those were the things that Ray needed the most at that time.
"Well that's trauma for you," Ray thought as he shook his head with a smile, "Having some time to yourself is good," He had been so busy that Ray rarely got the time to reminisce about old times when he was just working for money and getting stronger but now it was all in chaos.
His life was in danger almost every second, his whole body was injured and he was still continuing without rest while he was also trying to get stronger and not die.
While in his thoughts, Ray forgot to observe what Mag'ladroth was up to but FengFeng didn't leave the the projection in front of her for even a second. She kept looking at it like a hawk as if her life depended on it and as she observed more and more, alot of things opened up to her. She saw the reality and it blew her eyes wide open. She felt like her mind exploding as anger started to consume her from inside out.
A fire started to burn inside her. It was the fire of anger and revenge. Blood covered her eyes as the surroundings started to heat. The team,premature rose as Ray was brought of his reverie. He looked around, only to see FengFeng in the middle of it all.
"What happened FengFeng?" Asked Ray in worry.
"look over there,"She spoke with difficulty through her gritted teeth as her whole being seethed with anger.
"Huh?" In shock of what could make her so angry all of a sudden, Ray turned and looked at the projection as his mouth fell open. His eyes went wide as the scene he just saw shocked him to the core.
He saw the planet but that was not just it. There was nothing there, the whole planet was bare of anything. Covered in a strange material like diamond, there was just one huge creature that laid there. The creature was so huge that it covered almost the whole planet and not to mention that creature's aura. It was terrifying, to the extent that Ray could feel it from the projection.
As he looked, he also felt another thing. It was his blood reacting to it. To be more precise, it was his bloodline and the Void Bloodline part to be precise. Ray continued to look at the creature and realized of how much the creature resembled a dragon. Though, it was different from the typical dragons he knew of.
"Is that you?" Ray turned to Mag'ladroth as he asked him.
"Yes, that is my real body," Mag'ladroth answered through gritted teeth. Looking at his body, he remembered why he had to exit his body and use his spiritual form but it looked like they hadn't left his even after he died.
"What happened to your body?" Ray asked.
"Some greedy clans wanted something from me so they attacked me. I fought back till I could but they used help from the other legendary clans such as the dragon clan of the west and the serpent clan. I was injured and had to retreat using the whole strength of my Void. I placed a spatial pocket here and kept my body on this planet but from what it looks like, they haven't left me even after that," Said Mag'ladroth as he stopped speaking further. His anger was getting out of control so he just stopped speaking to not let his anger leak or else it would be a devastating situation for Ray's consciousness.
FengFeng understood Mag'ladroth's concern as she spoke, "You see those missing crystals from his body?" She pointed at the jagged ends on Mag'ladroth's body as she added, "Those are the Void Shards that contain Mag'ladroth's Void energy. To think that they would use his body like some sort of mine and harvest the shards. Also, since he isn't dead and just in deep stasis; the body regenerates by using the mana from the surroundings. Though, the pain and suffering is transmitted to his spiritual self and causes damage to his spirit," As FengFeng explained, even she started to lose her cool as the tongues of fire appeared around her and the time started to glitch everywhere.
"So what we do now?" Asked Ray.
"Don't worry. I will take care of 'em. You just observe and try to grasp the flow of Void. It will help you a lot," Mag'ladroth had calmed down by now as he said.
"Okay," Ray nodded as his eyes lit up with resolve to get even stronger.
