NOVEL NEXT Chapter 135
Having dealt with everything, Aidan decided to head back into the long hallway, and then put the torch aside and crossed his legs on the floor. Ten minutes later, he was completely convinced of the calmness of the environment, and therefore put his index fingers together and stretched out in front of him, quickly spreading them to the side. As soon as he made a circle around him, he was immediately surrounded by a sparkling yellow hemisphere.
"That's enough ..." - he erected the simplest barrier, just in case. Naturally, in battle, it will not be of any use, but it should be enough to notify of a sudden attack.
Having taken care of everything, the magician closed his eyes and immediately found himself in a distant starry space, on a black altar, directly opposite the gray grimoire.
- And here I am again ... Again I ran into this damn thing. Who would have thought that there were so many problems from her. Previously, I did not really appreciate such a gift, I took it for granted, and then faced the consequences ... - after a crooked grin, Aidan came closer and paid attention to this book. Compared to the past, it has noticeably decreased, by almost a third. Although, the tongues of gray matter continued to flash unexpectedly over its entire surface.
Turning his gaze into the distance, Aidan examined the huge door with an emerald skull and immediately frowned.
- This thing ... - to my great surprise, the door became even farther, it hovered quite far away and its radiance became as if stronger, and the chains ... There were fewer of them.
"And what did I expect?" - Aidan was not even surprised, in fact, he already tried not to expect surprises from his magic. There was clearly something hiding behind the door, the chains might have kept the secret hidden there, but how could it be something safe? Who would ever lock something ordinary and kind behind such creepy doors? Surely something completely unsafe is hidden there ...
- Yeah ... To know why this door has moved away and what is hidden there. But, I have no idea how to summon her or study her ... She's too far away. Maybe the grimoire will say something about this, hmm ...
Shaking his head, Aidan decided not to dwell on it. Since he could not do anything, he did the only thing he was capable of ...
- Let's start.
Without thinking twice, he touched the grimoire. Instantly, his body was seized by a tremor, and then a gray flame just pounced on his head and his eyes immediately sparkled with black lights!
- Heck! - the last thing I could do was just swear, and after that, black veins swelled up all over his body, rapidly expanding at a terrifying speed! The skin turned pale, and then the dark marks began to tremble and grow, connecting with each other, they quickly covered the entire right side of Aidan's body, and then, like a gray flame on a grimoire, they stirred! A black haze soared over the body, and the coating on the skin slowly began to burn.
- Haaaa! - his heavy sigh shook the emptiness, the air around the wizard instantly trembled! Never before had he felt such a terrifying power!
- Ha ... Ha ha ha! - Laughing furiously, Aidan opened his sparkling eyes - now they burned with pure white lights! White streaks even appeared near his eyes, slowly going down the neck to the chest, and there they simply broke off at the very heart.
He slowly got up from his knees and raised his right hand with a trembling, it glowed with dark magic, but still did not differ much from the human hand, only, absolutely black! But as soon as he pulled it out in front of him, the black covering seemed to peel off, revealing a view of thin black veins and pale skin.
"Hmm," a cold sigh quickly turned into an angry grin, and then the hand began to distort in front of our eyes! The nails stretched out into sharp black claws, the skin darkened and hardened, even the muscles seemed to swell. Then, the magician clenched a clawed paw into a fist and instantly a long black halberd formed in it!
- More ... - the dark magician snorted: - I want more! - Without hesitation, he again stretched out his hand to the grimoire, it had already considerably shrunk and looked very small, more than half the size of its original state.
He was going to take all his power!
Being under the influence of magic, Aidan was not going to consider the consequences, he just touched the grimoire for the third time!
- Mm? - He immediately frowned and squeezed his finger: - What the hell ?!
Nothing happened - no expected increase in strength followed. Aidan did not get angry, he only darkened and squeezed the halberd, just at that moment he received his answer ... A terrifying force spread through his hand, and a notice pierced every cell of his body:
- Kha! - he coughed and immediately fell to his knees, the terrible force simply overwhelmed, even his maddened mind slowly began to clear up, and his sparkling eyes grew dim. Only, he jerked his hand back sharply and growled:
- How dare you ?! - With a furious roar, his black halberd sank down on the altar with the grimoire. A crash shook outer space!
- Damn little book ... - jerking a trembling hand from his weapon, Aidan finally began to get angry, he was again overwhelmed with emotions and he sharply clenched both hands into fists:
- Now I will ...
But...
- Pathetic.
That one word instantly extinguished the storm in the wizard's soul. All his desire to crush this indestructible grimoire evaporated, now he wanted to tear the owner of such a vile voice to shreds!
Such a pleasant voice would make anyone mortally forget and fall in love forever, but for Aidan it seemed extremely disgusting! He seemed to have met a blood enemy and in response his heart trembled in insane excitement, whispering only one desire - to kill!
- Who ?! - Aidan snapped, turning sharply, his gaze instantly touched the emerald eye sockets of a distant skull, and then there was a disdainful response from afar. A muffled, barely audible, but still strong tone:
- You are pathetic. Look at you ... Do you wish to destroy my creation with such insignificant attempts? What a fool.
- Who are you? - the magician's voice, cold, like the most ancient glacier, sounded muffled. He could hardly restrain himself not to break this fucking door in space, he did not even think that he could not fly, he was ready to do anything for his goal!
- You are funny. - The answer, all the same haughty, just stuck into the soul: - Like a mad dog you growl and drool ... I even disgust to talk to you, go away from this witch, despicable!
- Hooo! - Aidan breathed out a tar mist and white streaks on his face began to pulsate, he was not going to speak anymore, now he only wanted to kill this creature!
