Chapter 253: A Glimpse into the Void
I messed up. I went too far ahead, and I should have respected their forces. But now was not the time to hold back. Now was a time of action, and I felt the enemy responding to my presence. I had to do the same, and my blood was pumped with mana. My skin turned to the Void, and my staff turned to the pen of my will, starting to turn into the purplish Void.
My mind was not quite blank, but all I could do was hold my intentions as the battle instantly began. Everyone was surprised when they saw the leader of the Elite army amongst them.
Maybe they did not know how valuable I was, but it did not matter.
I moved, as did they. The smile on my face grew as I turned into the Void, and the spells and swords started to come at me. At this moment, even a D rank could kill me if I fucked up, and I moved as the world's mana did not bend to my will.
My fist ended up through a D Ranker that reacted quicker, and the initial B ranker continued to charge their spell, still looking to blast my forces inside headquarters.
My body moved, and the Canvas of the world folded and bent to my will, allowing me to appear by their side. I quickly cut the canvas around the mage. The world fragmented, but the mana healed faster than normal before I could punch out the person from reality on a whim. For some reason, the mana here was too thick and strong now.
They did not allow me to do as I wanted, as suddenly, I was smashed into and sent flying by the mage, and I was smashed by a shield. I flew farther as I leaned into it, and I opened a hole into the Void and spat myself out back into the direction I had just left, now more in control of my direction and a part of the Void.
Two swordsmen attack both B rankers and between them is a B ranker with a mace and shield. I had no idea why he did not hit me with the mace, but that was thought for later as I suddenly found myself surrounded, and my staff intercepted a sword.
I could barely keep track of where my feet were on the ground as I began to battle with three people at the same time. My mind could no longer think, and the spell far away from me continued to crescendo into its climax, which was only a minute or two away. I could hear the fighting, and here I was, stuck fighting three B rankers as my forces battled foes unknown.
My fist met blade, my staff met shield, and I twirled, dodging another sword and dodging and parrying before casting a spell in their face. I had no ability to draw on the canvas of the world. There was no way of casting anything more complex than an arcane missile, and I felt a sword bite into the Void of my arm, cutting something of my real body somehow.
I barely registered the cut before another hit me, and the shield smashed into me after I barely dodged the mace.
It did not buy me a single second of respite, and I found myself more and more disadvantaged by the second as the three of them were working together. I could not take it; I was going to die at this rate. I could feel it, and my staff got cut into again and again. The old Arcane staff took a beating, and it was hit again and again.
Cut after cut into my body, my face got smashed by a shield, and I was being cornered.
Was I going to die here?
From rebel irregulars?
My face got smashed again, and my vision was starting to waver as I smashed my staff into the face of a swordsman, only for my thigh to have a chunk taken out in return. "I AM NOT GOING TO DIE HERE!" I yelled in their faces, but they did not care what I had to say as their weapons came at me more and more, and I was being hurt every second.
The thick mana was not allowing me to move as I wanted, and three B rankers ganging up on me made my situation even more hopeless.
Dodge.
Parry.
Cut into my arm.
Dodge.
Arcane Missle into their face.
Dodge.
My face got hit again with his shield.
My vision is wavering.
I am going to die.
I am going to die.
I am going to die.
I am going to die.
I can't die!
I don't want to die!
What will happen to my kids?
My mind blanked, and I let the mana flow through my body. I allowed the three mana vortexes to erupt and bring in more ambient mana, and I converted it without restraint. "I CANNOT DIE HERE!" I screamed as the mace crushed my staff, breaking it apart. I lost my ability to parry and draw.
But I did not falter; I allowed my mind to dive into the depths and erupt, and I finally gave up on logic. Who cared about logic in the face of death?
Something struck me, and I smashed into the wall, and they were diving at me.
My dizzy mind only thought, What is the Void?
Death is the end of a person.
The Void is the end of reality.
It is the true end.
The canvas on which reality stands.
But only a step away.
What is the Void, then?
Everything and nothing.
The horrors of the abyss that stare back at you.
I must become the horror of the abyss that stares back at you when you stare too long.
I barely registered what was happening to me, but I converted my hair, body, blood—everything—and I was the Void. Not like before, a mere imitation, I became the abyss as they came at me, and I roared into a screech that was no human or beast-kin language. My war cry and mana erupted as my arms changed into the end.
The mana no longer seemed thick, and that sword was met with my fist, briefly stooping it and cutting into the Void.
Was it a fist? It seemed more like a black tentacle of some type.
No, It was not a fist; in my vision, the world was not the same. My hand moved through the canvas, and my body appeared before the mage just as they were about to attack, and I opened up the Void around him.
There were things in the Void waiting for the mage as I brought them here.
The things that waited on the other side of reality were there with no names. They wrapped around the surprised mage, and they pulled him in. Not under my whim, but because he was not like them. He did not belong to the Void, yet he was inside it.
My mana drained, and I moved again, and I found myself falling and appearing back into reality. The world changed back to what it was supposed to be, and I was falling and smashed into the ground inside our perimeter. I heard controlled yelling of proper army forces and hands pulling me back from the free as the world flashed in and out for me. I lost consciousness as the war around me continued.
