As the core shattered, a glowing yellow orb that emitted a mystical aura floated, releasing pulses of golden light at regular intervals.
Before Dion could do anything about it, the orb floated into his body, directly dissolving into him.
'Luck vault?' Dion's expression turned sour.
'How am I supposed to use it now that it's gone?'
Dion frowned slightly before saying, 'Oh well.'
He stood up from the floor, dusted his clothes off, before jumping into bed.
'It's pretty late already.'
Soon enough, he had fallen asleep.
…
BOOM BOOM BOOM
The world shook as the dark sky began to rain down lightning; this lightning had a pure purple color!
Suddenly, a man appeared in the midst of the calamity, and without wasting a moment, every single bolt of lightning concentrated on him. It looked like the heavens were punishing a pure demon.
But the man was not surprised! He directly pierced his chest with his own hand and pulled out his heart, all while enduring bolts of lightning that could level mountains with ease.
His heart was black, unlike the conventional dark reddish-brown.
As he stretched his hand forth while holding the beating heart, a blue glow emitted from the hole in his chest.
Instead of targeting the man's body, the lightning directly targeted his heart. Barrages of lightning fell on the heart; the man's hand was basically almost destroyed, but he still held on.
Instead of the heart evaporating on the spot, the color began to lighten greatly. It went from black directly to a wine color. At this moment, a shadowy figure jumped out from the heart!
It was a red, skinny-looking demon with horns; its legs were like those of cattle, and it had the head of a goat with four long horns that sprouted from its head.
As soon as it jumped out, the man shouted, 'Heart demon! You cannot escape from me!'
The demon tried to run, it was as fast as the lightning trying to strike it; however, the man was faster.
Chains sprouted from the ground, tying the demon down in an instant. The demon shrieked, waves of sound were being distorted around it, yet it was unable to escape.
The man abandoned this chained-down demon and directly flew into the sky. With a wave of his hand, the lightning halted – As if time had stopped. With another wave, the whole calamity looked like it was being compressed. The whole calamity was shrunk into a sphere the size of a fist. After barely a millisecond of rest, the man grunted, compressing this calamity into the size of a drop of water.
The world was still, as if there had not been a disastrous lightning calamity wreaking havoc.
Sweat dropped from the man's while body. He flew to this calamity raindrop and stretched his arm, a lightning-like current extended from his fingers to the calamity drop. He then dragged it back to the ground, using the current as a form of leash.
Even the heart demon, whose screams could directly cause any life form that heard it to explode into nothingness, stared at the sky.
'YOU MONSTER, YOU DIRECTLY SURPRESSED THIS CALAMITY, RELEASE ME NOW!', the demon screamed with all the energy it could muster. It did not expect what happened next.
The man directly shot this compressed calamity into the chest of the demon! The demon did not have time to speak as it closed its eyes and was seemingly dead. The man held the body of this demon and vanished.
Now, in the deepest part of the ocean, where there was no light, sound, or sensation, the man appeared, still holding the demon.
He released the demon into the ocean, and a sword that appeared from nowhere replaced the position of the demon in his hand. This sword directly cut the demon into two!
This cut did not even affect the body of the demon! It split its soul instead! The line that signified the cut gradually expanded. Eventually, what looked like an island of fire and magma was visible through this cut!
Water from the abyss entered this opening, engulfing the whole island.
What used to be an island of fire and magma was now eroded by the dark water. There were numerous ponds and lakes spread across the whole island, and at this moment, a shining drop of water floated in the sky, immediately exploding with a loud bang!
The empty sky of this island was now darkened with clouds! Lightning struck countless areas!
But instead of destruction, the lightning seemed to nourish this environment.
A surging aura emerged from the man now, assaulting this demon and the opening in its chest.
As this aura surged, an eye glowed behind the man, a glow that was not made from light, but pure intent!
This monster resembled a long, blue dragon-eel hybrid.
It widened its mouth and attacked the man! The man only moved slightly as his aura suppressed and dragged this monster into the opening.
Once this dragon completely entered, the man held the sword and brought it back up, the same way he brought it down, immediately sealing this opening.
This demon was now engraved with a strange symbol on its forehead. The man held this demon and vanished again.
Dion woke up with a gasp. His eyes were wide open as if he had not gone to sleep, but had just fought a long battle. There was sweat all over his body, and he was even slightly trembling.
'Was that a dream?'
'Who was that man?'
'Why was it so vivid?'
Those were questions he could only ask in his head.
'What kind of dream was that?'
He could only forget about this matter for now, after all, he was to be taken to the academy this morning!
