"I shan't repeat myself. Who are thou, and why are thou here?" The man stared Deja down, who just stared back, completely unfazed by the mans aura. Deja just wordlessly gazed back into the eyes of the man, creeping the latter out. "Why dost thou stare? Is thou mute?"
Deja snapped back to reality with that last sentence, and shook his head to clear it. "Ah! I'm sorry, I spaced out. What did you ask?"
The man, growing angry let out a low growl, and through clenched teeth, said "I asked why thou had come."
"Oh! I'm sorry, I just get a little spacey. To answer your question, its to get back to my home, which I need power to do. So I thought, 'why not go to the nearest human settlement and ask for help?' Which right now, mind you, seems like it was a bad idea." Deja shook his head haplessly. "But, right now, its the only chance I have. So, Mr. Leader, will you help me?" The man turned to his advisor, whispered something, and turned back to Deja and the Militia.
"Seize him!"
Deja sighed. He knew it was slim, but he had hoped. Nevertheless, Deja faced the 'Leader', and with an air of superiority, stated one simple fact. "You made a mistake, Mr. Leader." Deja snapped his finger, which had so much force behind it that the sound alone made the lower realmed soldiers collapse. Only the advisor, the militia leader and the sect leader managed to stay awake. Deja plastered a look of fake surprise on his face. "You managed to stay awake through that? Amazing! Unfortunately, that's just a small portion of my powers. The leader scoffed at the statement.
"A portion? Someone without cultivation like you couldn't possibly have more than pure strength. Take your child's play technique and leave this sect."
Deja started to chuckle, which slowly evolved into a full on diabolical laugh.
"Oh, poor, poor, Mr. Leader. You honestly think cultivation is the only form of power? Pfft. If you want to see a real technique, look outside."
Deja lifted his hand and pointed out the window, where a smaller version of the sun was forming. Using his {Gravity Control}, Deja made sure that nothing was affected by the miniature star's gravity. He flicked his finger, launching the star out of the city boundary, and at the same time set up a massive barrier to protect the citizens from the coming explosion. The star hit the ground a good kilometer away, and burst, sending a wave of pure force and heat through the grass lands, creating a scorched land around the city walls, and blasting a kilometer deep crater where it landed. The 3 men behind him dropped their jaws. The one ability that this young man in front of them just used completely shocked them. However, when they turned to talk to him, Deja was already gone.
°°°°°°°°°°°
While the three men had been distracted, Deja used his skill {Blip} to phase out of the castle, and sprint out of the town. As he was running with {Blip}, he thought back to the description that the [System] gave him, and realized an important detail he had missed.
"Hey [System], what was the description of blip again?"
[One moment. Activating skill :{Skill log}]
A blue holographic window once again appeared in front of Deja.
[{Blip}
Temporarily shifts the User's physical form out of their current dimension, allowing them to phase through physical object with ease.(Warning: If all of the user's mana is used up, he will destabilize, and fall through to a different dimension)]
"If it destabilizes someone... [System] what is the exact numerical percent of my mana left?"
[0.0000500556% left.]
"So still around 900 billion. [System], what is the mana consumption of the skill {Blip}?"
[100 MP/s, Deja.]
"Again, way to long. That's two hundred years worth of waiting! Actually," Deja had thought of something, something that he missed, something that was vital. "What's my mana regeneration rate?"
[30M MP/m.]
"Shit. That's way to high! I'm never going to be able to run my mana down.... Wait! I've got it! [System], what is my mana at at the moment?
[9.09B/1.789 Qu]
"Alright. Now I'm going to do this..."
Deja lifted a finger to the air and started forming a {Supernova} attack. A brilliant white dot formed overhead, growing bigger by the second. two hundred meters, three hundred meters, the brilliance increasing all the while. Soon the heat started to light the surrounding plains on fire. Deja Focused even more energy to it. The little star grew bigger, and bigger, until it was roughly the size of a city, with small solar flares erupting from its surface every so often. The brilliant white and black arcs flew over Deja's head, blasting craters wherever they hit. The star began to churn rapidly, the colors mixing and un-mixing, Creating what looked like whirlpools of rainbows on the star. Focusing all his excess energy towards it, he activated {Gravity Control} and formed a bubble of gravital interference around the forming star, both growing at the same rate. Suddenly, his [System] notified him of something.
[Warning! Mana has dropped to below safe threshold. Current mana: 10000/1.798Qu]
A grin crept up Deja's face, as he finally neared the bottom of his mana pool.
[Warning, Warning] Mana has dropped below one thousand points.]
Deja swayed slightly on his feet, feeling exhausted from the entire usage fo his mana pool. He canceled all the skills except {Blip}. As he did this, the [System] started a countdown.
[Time until mana depletion: 10.]
Deja grimaced, ready for what was to come.
[9]
Deja grasped hold of his one possession that came with him, a small ring given to him by his mother when he first left for school.
[8]
[7]
[6]
[5]
[4]
[3]
[2]
[1]
Deja braced himself, fearing for the worst.
[0. Mana depleted.]
The ground seemed to open up, swallowing Deja whole, plunging the poor boy into the darkness once more. As Deja fell, he screamed. There was no sound. Deja just... vanished.
