Chapter 24 - Black hole

[Black hole]

A dense 2 meter round black ball left my hand and reached above the center of dome and suddenly started to expand and consuming everything from it surrounding. The eerie sounds which I had been hearing till now disappeared entirely replaced by a deadly bone crushing pressure and silence.

Even sound couldn't exist and gets consumed whenever I used [black hole]. The more it consumed the fog the bigger it gets no matter how much fog 4th leader Lucius would release it would just fuel my attack more until he is exhausted.

It was one my most dangerous attack not only because of it destructiveness but because if I didn't control it, it will continue to grow until there is nothing left in its surrounding, even consuming itself and detonating.

The suction and pressure inside the [black hole] was so dense that it can crush any attack to its basic component not only attacks but even living beings.

I stayed rooted in my place solidifying the space around me so that I wouldn't get sucked into my own attack but the fog around me was not that lucky continuously getting devoured by [Black hole] and its size has increased to 6 meter.

It doesn't matter whether I create a small [Black hole] or a big, both has the same power but it was easy to destroy my attack when it is small and every second Lucius missed is his grave mistake which will cost him. I had devised many other ways to produce [Black hole] altering them according to their purpose and what I had demonstrated now is the most basic version of it but deadly nevertheless.

I was still not able to see Lucius in the fog but I could understand how difficult it was, for him to continuously produce black fog which was disappearing twice as fast. Now ignoring me, most of his attacks were fired at [Black hole] but everything which came near it would get swallowed by it because his attacks were weaker then mine.

The dome surrounding us was also flickering from time to time and its energy was getting sucked into the [Black hole] but suddenly the dome started to get bigger.

Not long after that I heard an annoyed dragon roar coming from fog and a four eyed 80 meter huge black dragon escaped from the fog advancing toward the black whole preparing a powerful [Dragon breath] in his throat his mouth leaving the trail of white gas behind him.

'Lord, 1st leader morris has advised 4th leader Lucius to destroy that thing from inside.' Psyche said to me.

He collided with the [black hole] and the whole coliseum shook violently but the dragon vanished inside the [black hole]. Few second passed by silently and a terrifying blast resounded from inside the [Black hole]. The powerful suction slowly stopped and the [black hole] in the sky started to crack and finally shattered.

Without 4th leader to emit the black fog the ground became clear and I could see a black dragon flying in the sky which vanished other second and a 14 feet tall humanoid figure landed on the ground creating a crater beneath.

"Damn it." The curse escaped from the mouth of Lucius his appearance was that of beggar, his skin having visible wounds which were healing at the speed visible to eye.

"Come on Lucius; show me the preparations you have made." Hearing my voice Lucius raised his guard to the maximum but in my humanoid form I charged at him readying my fist in red aura appearing in front of him without wasting a millisecond.

I did not charged at him using my physical strength but my ability; I appeared in front of him using [Warp] and was about to punch him on his chest where his dragon heart is located but his response was quick.

He was ready to meet my attack using dagger in his right hands but four small portals appeared surrounding both of us. My fist that was about to hit him in the chest passed through the portal and appeared out of second portal which was opened behind his skull and my aura attack landed on his head and a cracking sound was heard.

The pain coming from his head hasn't even felt him properly and he felt a sharp pain coming from his chest because the daggers which was about to pierce my hands instead of wounding me passed through the third portal sensing his mistake Lucius had tried to retreat his hands but it was too late.

The fourth portal was opening from his back and his own hand holding the dagger has pierced his chest. When looking down he could see a tip of the dagger coming out of his own chest. I would definitely make this memory public once I leave tower.

Not wanting to lose his hand as well leaving dagger imbedded in his heart Lucius retracted his hand saving his hands by hairs breadth. Lucius looked at me with look of disbelief that how can I injure him to this extent with such a simple tactics.

'Lord first leader is continuously sending message to Lucius, saying to use that artifact if he wants to live.' Psyche sent me the mental message.

I knew his ancestral draconic daggers were special because if it is used against weaker opponent then him it could absorb the soul of his opponent with just few cuts. Even my own soul would suffer serious damage if that dagger pierced my heart, even if his abilities are in sync with daggers ability this wound will take a long time to heal.

"Yes I know I was careless." He roared replying to 1st leaders nagging.

His senses were haywire due to physically destroying [Black hole] otherwise my surprise attack wouldn't have been successful and he was now more than angry because not even able to put up a proper fight after all his efforts.

'Lord the 1st leader is continuously instructing 4th leader to not use that artifact in front of you.' Psyche informed me and it seems like I have to push him little more so that he can lose his mind and neglect 1st leaders advice.

Once again the black gas started to surround Lucius but I took action before he could hide once again. Using [Warp], I once again appeared before him and kicked him so hard that he was thrown out of black gas before he could hide; the dagger embedded in his chest also fell from his chest.

The black gas was able to touch my skin this time due to I came in direct contact with Lucius and I could confirm it had some type of erosion effect not on body but soul.

Lucius whom I had kicked stood up from his place saying something which could only be curses and once again started to emit the black gas from his body supporting his chest with his hand where the dagger has stabbed him few moments ago.

He extended his other hand where the dagger has fallen after leaving his chest and the dagger flew in the direction of Lucius trying to return to his master. Waving my hand the dagger which was about to land in the hands of Lucius entered another portal conjured by me.

The dagger entered the portal but didn't come out because I had stored it in the space pocket. It was the separate space created by me with the help of knowledge I had gained from Earl in abyss and the understanding I had about the law governing the void. It was not an ordinary space pocket which could be forcefully opened or destroyed because it was linked with my soul.

Not even time could flow in the space pocket, which was a perfect place to seal non-living things. It had few shortcomings as well as it consumed a lot of mana to maintain it and the consumption only increased depending on how much and powerful things I have stored in it. It was also the reason why I let demion and other beast complete the trials to save my strength.

"Bastard give me my ancestral dagger back." Lucius shouted on top of his lungs.

"Why don't you take it yourself, you will just have to kill me." I agitated him some more.

"I don't care about any f***ng secret, I will kill this bastard today." Saying this he lost his temper and thinking ability for good this time, but instead of taking out a weapon he retrieved a silver ring in which a grey gem was embedded, which was emitting a very familiar energy which I hadn't felt for a very long time.
