I felt my Aura expand little by little, with Nix’s help it was getting easier for the first few kilometers, but over time the distance was increasing and becoming a burden on my mind.
Also, the miasma I was huddled with was starting to lose control and trying to eat away at my conscience, I had to keep my will firm to bear it.
It took 5 hours for my Aura to travel all over this place stopping only where there was no more miasma, I also managed to keep the rhythm of harmonization, my pure dark element mana harmonizes perfectly with the miasma.
Nix was a big help for this, but in the end, I needed Layla and Sakura to help me, each of the three represented an energy aspect like mana, spirit energy, and Ki.
They made it easier to withstand the pressure on my mind and maintain attunement even as my will was corroded by malice in the miasma all this time.
My body was covered in sweat and sores, and the mana sphere on top of my head almost disappeared, moreover in the end my mana was being drained faster than I could replenish it with the help of that magic circle, I had to use my Ki and energy spirit to lower the mana cost before it ran out of mana.
During those 5 hours, my body became just a means by which energy went in and out, because of that I couldn’t stand it, even with my unique body and bloodline it was still unbearable for someone of my strength to do something like that, now I know why Nix said that it was suicide.
Fortunately, everything I did was not in vain, I had managed to endure until the end, even with a seriously injured body and with my mind on the verge of losing consciousness, I was happy that I had not suffered anything too serious, even though my current state is bad it will only take a few days for me to recover, perks of being a Vampire Patriarch and having True Dragon blood.
“[ Do you want to select this area for assimilation? ]” (Nix)
“Ugh!!” (I)
“Yes…” (I)
In my mind, only the information of the area that my Aura reached, which is this whole place, appeared.
With Nix’s robotic voice in his Dungeon Core mode, I accepted this entire area for assimilation.
“[ Starting analysis of the designated area. ]” (Nix)
“[ Confirmed land claim by the power of Dungeon Master. ]” (Nix)
“[ Calculating cost in Dungeon Points(DP) for creating and expanding a floor corresponds to the corresponding area… ]” (Nix)
“[ Amount of Dungeon Points Required Detected. ]” (Nix)
“[ Do you want to start the assimilation process now? ]” (Nix)
“Yea!” (I)
“[ Initiating assimilation of detected area, adding and expanding a new floor. ]” (Nix)
I felt my shadow connect with Nix’s before expanding at high speed in all directions, it was much faster than my Aura did before, in less than 10 minutes my Shadow expanded as far as my Aura could reach.
Soon after the space began to ripple as it was distorting and a red glow expands from my shadow all over the place while blocking everyone’s view, but I was able to feel something colossal being swallowed by my shadow, I felt like I was stealing something as I did so, it was as if I was tearing a piece of something as the part I had torn off was replaced with a new one.
It only took a few seconds, the time it takes to blink, but with the overload of information and sensations I’m feeling, it feels like days.
After that, the blinding red light was absorbed back into my shadow as it shrinks back to me.
When I look around I was in the middle of a crater that I couldn’t see the edges, besides that, I didn’t feel the miasma in the surroundings and any kind of energy anymore.
“[ Assimilation of designated area completed. ]” (Nix)
“…” (Nix)
Soon Nix’s eyes returned to normal, and she blinks her eyes while looking at me, I lose my strength when her hands let go of mine, but before I fall to my side Nix becomes a blur due to his speed and catches me before to hit the ground.
Nix, Layla, and Sakura were around me using different healing techniques while giving me potions of HP, MP, spirit energy, and Ki.
Soon the wounds on my body had healed, but my mind was still exhausted to the point that speaking was difficult, I was placed on Ragnar’s back in his normal form and taken to the skies as everyone floated up away from the crater. ．
As we climbed higher and higher I closed my eyes and began to meditate, I cleared my mind, calmed my emotions, started to focus on my blood circulation, then the circulation of every energy I can use, and finally my heartbeat.
I fell into a trance where my energy started to recover faster as I unconsciously devoured the energy around me, furthermore my mind became lighter and lighter while I was meditating.
I lost track of time, I didn’t know if 10 seconds or 10 hours had passed, I just know that when I opened my eyes I saw a completely different scene from what I saw before.
———-
Pov Freya:
From the sky we were in a much better position to see what was happening on the ground, even with the fog and miasma getting in the way we were still able to see the waves of High Priest Henrique’s Aura outside the city, we were also able to see that tornado if forming and dangerous energy flows being absorbed by the tornado before disappearing.
After that in the center of the city that should be below us, I felt Master Zenos’ Aura spread, when he got to where we were I felt him harmonizing the miasma in the environment with his power.
After a few hours, I feel the space itself trembling, then I feel something on the floor consuming the space around us, but at the same time, I feel the space rebuild itself to the same extent.
My vision was blocked, but as an Elder Elf, my connection to nature made me understand what was happening.
But even knowing what was going on and having knowledge of the plan, I was still surprised by the giant crater left in the place, the area of ??an entire Realm had disappeared.
While I was distracted looking at the crater when I see a little far away Nix, Sakura, Orion, Layla, and the master.
Near them, I saw the High Priest Henry with wings of bones covered in a spectral body membrane and Hela with her wings flying close by the others.
“Get ready, Freya.” (Yara)
“Yes, let’s get started.” (I)
