Chapter 1948 - Swallowing Rule
Chapter 1948 - Swallowing Rule
Bang!
I closed the door hard before getting away from it as fast as possible; the black hole will strike across it soon, and I don't know whether the containment formations of the hall would work or not; I don't want to take any risks.
As I began to move far away, I started to think about the thing which relieved my pressure suddenly, and I did not have to think for long as I knew what relieved the pull of the black hole had come from me; it was my swallowing rule.
My swallowing rule, which had been at the peak of Master grade, had reached the Grandmaster stage. I seemed to have unconsciously comprehended things from the black hole, which is a personification of swallowing, and ended up upgrading my swallowing rule.
With the swallowing rule reaching the Grandmaster stage, I have now got two rules reaching the grandmaster stage, my healing rule had also reached the Grandmaster boundary.
It is kind of funny, both healing rule and swallowing rule, I had made the least progress in while killing rule, and Sunfire rule are the ones I had made the huge progress, they are just stepping away from reaching the Grandmaster boundary.
I had thought they would be the first to reach the grandmaster boundary, but the opposite has happened. Still, I am very happy; the high-level rule powers help in stable level up. I will try to level up the killing and Sunfire rule to the grandmaster boundary; it would help me if all my rules were at the grandmaster boundary during the level up..
Bam Bam Bam
I had just stopped when I started to hear the loud sounds from all; it is shaking all over and sounds coming from it making one believe that something is trying to get out of it.
The runes across the hall hit up, and completely different runes have covered the door too. It had immediately lessened the sound but did not stop it.
Seeing that, I had created further distance between the hall and myself. If the black hole suddenly got out, I want to be as far away from it as possible.
The sounds continued for about a minute before they suddenly stopped, and runes that appeared on the hall also began to mute out before they have wholly disappeared. Seeing that tension had finally left my shoulder and I took a sigh of relief; it was one scary experience.
Dhud Dhud Dhud
I had just taken a sigh of relief when the whole hall began to collapse, and within a second, in the place of the grand hall, there was only rubble.
Seeing that, I moved toward the rubble a few seconds later; I began to scan through, but a few minutes later, disappointed expressions couldn't help but appear on my face. The rubble is truly rubble; to stop the black hole, the last formation has harnessed power through every brick and dust, leaving nothing behind.
"Not, nothing," I said suddenly and appeared beside the door; it looked fine except the dust appeared on it when it fell down.
I looked at it carefully and, seeing there was no active formation, I stored it in my storage. The door was no simple thing; it was able to bear the power of a black hole without a single crack; I will look at it carefully after I reach the academy, and now I have to give someone an earful.
I slowly looked turn my neck toward a thumb-size chubby bird who looked visibly tired; it had been quite a while since I had seen her this tired.
It is not surprising, she would have needed a huge amount of energy to operate that formation of ancient. No matter how strange she is, she is still an emperor, and emperors could not use ancient runes unless they are strange being like Ashlyn.
Chew Chew!
I looked at her and was about to give her an earful when she chirped and threw something at me; it is a small thing, the size of a rice grain, and is entirely black in color.
Gasp!
I was confused at first, but as I caught the tiny thing and felt a strong swallowing force, I couldn't help but gasp. I know what this thing is, and I had desired it.
Before getting the tiny stone, I had collected eight of nine main constitutional materials, and now with this tiny stone, I had collected all nine of them.
This tiny rice grain size stone is called 'Swallowing Stone,' it is an extremly rare material that is equally precious as the miracle fruit of the blood curse that I have. It formed where swallowing energies are very dense; it also formed a moment before a black appears, when swallowing energies concentrate.
It is near impossible to harvest as just as it is produced, it gets swallowed by the black hole; it is extremly hard to harvest it. I don't know how Ashlyn did it, but I am extremly grateful for it; it is one of the best materials I could get to represent my cores formations.
"I will not let you take such risks," I said softly to Ashlyn. I don't whether she had went to the clashing spot for me to get the original thing she needed. I will think about it ten times before letting her take such a risk; the risk this time was too much.
If something bad happened or the black hole had been a little more powerful, it would have been if it had swallowed the swallowing stone; we both would have swallowed by it. The swallowing stone would have instantly doubled its power.
I shook my head of those thoughts and looked around; the black hole had caused quite a commotion; I should get out of here as soon as possible and find a spot to rest for few hours at least.
I had been awake since I had come into this ruin, and top of that, I had burned my blood, and Ashlyn is also drained by that ancient rune formation. It is in the best interest of both of us to rest for few hours at the least before we move toward our next destination.
