"Zarathos, I know you are here. I am not phisto. You are not afraid of too, are you?"
"Even phisto, I have never been afraid of."
The hellfire in the consciousness space continued to rise and gathered together, transforming into a red skeleton with blue flas wrapped around its body. It was floating in the hellfire, looking down at Sebastian, and said, "Human wizard, you have crossed the line!"
"Crossing the line? I do not think so!" Sebastian's body also floated upward, level with Zarathos, and continued, "Since you have been eliminated by the tis, do not keep hanging around. It is decent to leave as soon as possible."
"Being eliminated by the tis... Today's humans really lack reverence."
As soon as these words fell, the hellfire in this consciousness space imdiately surrounded Sebastian, but when those blue flas approached Sebastian, they suddenly seed to have seen their owner, like obedient pets, and they stuck to Sebastian's body without causing him any harm at all!
Feeling the warmth of the hellfire instead of pain, Sebastian chuckled softly and said to Zarathos, "Zarathos, you absolutely should not have allowed to absorb these fragnts of consciousness for so long after you were absorbed by . Perhaps for other mages, completely absorbing these fragnts would be extrely difficult, but for , absorbing them is no problem at all. After absorbing these fragnts, I have beco another master of this place."
Sebastian's Legilincy granted him incredibly fast and powerful abilities, allowing him to quickly absorb the beneficial portions of the fragnts and discard the harmful and useless ones.
If Sebastian were just an ordinary mage, or even a powerful mage from another magical system, he would not be able to absorb these fragnts so quickly, and his own ntal awareness would be disturbed by them. This is why Zarathos allowed Sebastian to absorb so much.
However, he had greatly underestimated Sebastian and had little understanding of his unique magic, causing his once-safe plan to completely fail!
"How is this possible? How could you absorb it so quickly and without any negative effect?"
With a furious roar, Zarathos unleashed a torrent of hellfire. These fragnts of hellfire were simply fragnts of consciousness, not actual hellfire. Therefore, Sebastian's authority had no effect on them. Otherwise, Sebastian could simply use the power of hellfire to extinguish them.
The vast inferno transford into a massive flaming skull, blazing with intense blue flas. It roared and ripped down towards Sebastian, biting down from above.
But at that mont, Sebastian snapped his fingers, and the flaming skull instantly disintegrated, transforming into countless flaming crows that swirled around Sebastian endlessly before vanishing into the space of his consciousness.
"Damn it! Impossible! This is impossible!"
With a furious roar, Zarathos frantically swirled more fragnts of hellfire towards Sebastian. However, without exception, the inferno vanished into thin air around Sebastian.
At this mont, Zarathos swung his skeletal arms again, swirling streams of hellfire and shattered consciousness fragnts towards Sebastian. Sebastian, just as before, extinguished the inferno easily.
But this ti, by the ti Sebastian had extinguished the inferno that obscured his vision, Zarathos had vanished from the spot.
Sebastian narrowed his eyes and prepared to move forward to locate Zarathos, but at that mont, a red bony hand blazing with blue flas grabbed Sebastian's head from behind. Then, reaching from his right shoulder, it grasped Sebastian's neck tightly. anwhile, Zarathos's entire skeletal body collapsed onto Sebastian's back, his skull resting on Sebastian's right shoulder. He looked sideways at Sebastian and sneered.
"Humans are humans, too humble and too arrogant. I admit that I am surprised that you can absorb the fragnts of my consciousness so quickly, but if I want to deal with you, the erosion and devouring of your soul is the best choice. Once I devour your soul, the fragnts of consciousness you absorbed will return to my body again!"
While Zarathos was speaking, Sebastian's body gradually began rging into Zarathos's skeletal form at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Sebastian at this mont did not panic or lose his composure. He said directly to Zarathos, "If you continued to hide in the depths of this consciousness space, I may not have been able to do anything to you for a while, but you just ca to my door. Do you think I would co in without any preparation?"
"Of course I know you are prepared!" Zarathos's words were full of mockery and he continued, "In fact, I know all about your preparations outside this space.
I know about the secret room you prepared, the defensive arrays inside, and the magic school you built. I even know that you and the current Sorcerer Supre are working together to prepare a plan to deal with the Vishanti Trinity, but your preparations are useless.
No matter how many things or arrays you prepare, they cannot help you in any way. Now you are facing my soul directly, and all you can fight against with is your weak human soul!
Now you had better rge with happily!
All your authority will belong to !"
As soon as the words fell, Zarathos once again accelerated the absorption of Sebastian's soul.
But at this mont, Sebastian suddenly chuckled and said, "Zarathos, who told you that those external magic circles are ant to aid in dealing with you? They only prevent my power from leaking out and causing damage to the school. As for dealing with you, I am more than capable of doing so myself!"
As soon as these words fell, the mont Zarathos sensed sothing was amiss, Sebastian's soul suddenly began absorbing Zarathos's soul instead. Sebastian's soul manifested a vastly different, more powerful essence than before, far surpassing that of a normal human!
Even at a certain point in strength, soul essence could not improve even slightly; at most, the difference would be in sheer pure power. But Sebastian's situation had completely surpassed that limitation.
Sebastian's soul essence had reached a level exceeding that of the now half-crippled Zarathos, powerful enough to absorb Zarathos's soul. Zarathos was completely powerless to resist, and could only watch helplessly as Sebastian absorbed him. No matter how he struggled or wailed, it was completely useless!
