Ethan's POV
"What? How can this happen? No... how could such a thing exist in this world?! Nooooo!" the demon's voice echoed in my mind, its once-powerful tone now trembling with terror. The fear in its cries was palpable, but before I could fully process what was happening, its desperate screams were abruptly silenced.
I lay on the ground, my chest heaving as I tried to catch my breath. My limbs trembled, not from exhaustion, but from the sheer shock of what had just transpired. Slowly, shakily, I managed to sit up, still dazed by the sudden turn of events. The oppressive presence of the demon was gone. Yet, I couldn't shake the feeling that sothing monuntal had just occurred. Determined to find answers, I steadied myself and closed my eyes, focusing once more on my consciousness.
Darkness enveloped , the void within my mind rolling like storm clouds. In this boundless space, a faint white spot of light flickered weakly, trembling as if it had endured a nightmare beyond imagination. Instinctively, I understood that light was . It was my soul, fragile yet unbroken.
As I stared at the flickering light, the darkness around began to shift. Suddenly, a stunning seven-coloured glow flooded the void, its radiance so pure and vibrant that it seed to banish every shadow in its wake. The warmth of this light wrapped around my soul like a protective cocoon, steadying its tremors and filling with an unshakable sense of safety.
I looked up with my inner sight, and my breath caught in awe. Suspended in the vastness of the void was a massive crystal, its shape perfectly octagonal and its surface gleaming with an otherworldly brilliance. Intricate, mythical patterns adorned its faces, each etched line glowing faintly with a surreal, multicoloured light. The crystal seed alive, pulsating with an aura of tiless power and serenity.
At this mont, I realized that it had saved by vanquishing the sinister demon face. As the oppressive silence faded, a majestic yet monotonous voice resonated within the depths of my soul space:
[Successor has awakened his mana veins and gained the right to interact with the Eterna Nexus.]
[After waiting for billions of years, the Eterna Nexus welcos a new owner. I, Auralis Pri, am at your service. To fully enjoy the benefits of the Eterna Nexus, the successor must complete trials and fulfil specific requirents. If you understand, please give your acknowledgnt.]
I stood flabbergasted at the profound voice reverberating through my consciousness. It was unmistakably originating from the crystal, yet I instinctively knew it was not an enemy. As my thoughts aligned to agree, the voice returned:
[Successor's soul waves containing positive consent have been received. For entering the first stage of divine ascension, you shall receive a one ti free reward: a top-tier overlord category ascension technique tailored to your unique affinities.]
Monts later, a dazzling golden chart flew out of the Eterna Nexus crystal, unfurling before my inner vision. Its title glead with divine authority:
[Eternal Eclipse Ascension: A supre art enabling the wielder to create eternal eclipses, enveloping galaxies in darkness and controlling their fates.]
I inhaled sharply, stunned by the sheer grandeur of the description. Despite its seemingly impossible claim, a deep part of believed in it, perhaps influenced by the Eterna Nexus's divine aura or the ease with which it obliterated the ancient, ominous demon that had attacked . My excitent swelled, and upon ntally acknowledging acceptance, the luminous text detached from the golden chart and rged with the flickering orb of light within my soul space.
Suddenly, a surge of overwhelming energy erupted in my mind, knocking unconscious.
When I woke up, a string of cryptic black characters hovered persistently in my consciousness, as though they had always been a part of . Their presence filled with an inexplicable sense of familiarity and purpose. Without hesitation, I imrsed myself in the practice of the Eternal Eclipse Ascension technique. It guided to channel dark elental energy to repair my fractured mana veins and extend them further, edging closer to breaking into the Elental Mage Realm.
For an entire week, I laboured tirelessly in this foreign darkness, where day and night blended indistinguishably. Despite the difficulty, my injuries healed with astonishing speed, and my mana veins regained their full strength. By the end of this arduous week, I marvelled at the profound capabilities of this top-tier overlord category art.
Grandfather's words echoed in my mind, 'Cracked mana veins are nearly impossible to repair. Even with the rarest elixirs and the legendary high elves' assistance, it takes years, during which magic must be entirely forsaken.' I assud that my cracked mana veins must have resulted from the long and dangerous space travel traversing continents with my frail and weak body.
Yet here I was healed and rejuvenated in a re week! The only plausible explanation was the miracle of the Eternal Eclipse Ascension technique and its mysterious, divine powers.
Determined and filled with newfound hope, I finally rose to my feet, albeit shakily, and surveyed my surroundings. My journey on this foreign land, was about to begin.
