Chapter 85: Leaving
’84 seconds’ Dorian thought, stuhtly His chest heaved fro at hiri He blinked for a htly
‘I am… the Great Lord of the Absolute? I am also Dorian I AM Dorian Dorian is I’ He clutched at his head slightly with his rerowing up as a small child
Those were HIS scattered, incomplete memories That was HIM
At the sa fae world after his death
"Ugh&8221; Having two sets of ically, Dorian knew that he wasn’t that child, that warrior That those ht feel like his own, but that they weren’t actually
Still, he couldn’t help but feel every emotion in thee that came with it
"Whatever Now is not the time&8221; He made an instant deter to tremble He would fully review all his memories later
Dorian’s body transfor his Condensed Berserker form
As he finished, however, his eyes twisted, and he turned to stare at the glowing Red Portal
Its energy floas chaotic, and dangerous, at least according to Arial
But it was the only way out of here that he could reach, in the brief period of tis first&8221; He muttered,
Dorian sprinted over towards where the sword and ar had fallen
‘Absorb’
WHOOSH
The sword of the Grakon shivered and collapsed as Dorian absorbed the energy within it Right after, Dorian e, scaled ar froy and power on this ar Class Soul Spell Matrix There is only a sy’
Dorian’s eyes flashed when he heard that
‘Absorb it, iet all of what he wanted, just taking in the s…’
‘After co remnant information, the data for the Grakon bloodline has been successfully reconstructed’
‘Grakon Bloodline acquired’
‘You have 62 seconds till the stronghold around you collapses’
Ausra’s voice rang out in his head in quick succession, sending hi his head and sotten the Grakon bloodline! Finally!
He couldn’t wait to grow the bloodline, and combine it with his other forh&8221; A voicein pain drew Dorian’s attention as he stood up
The group of Shades was lying on the ground, bedraggled and tired looking They were covered in injuries, with most of them unconscious
Dorian could see that one of theht Wizard that Dorian had beaten earlier Jasper was his na to what his comrade had said
His face was covered in blood His skin was pale and sweat covered it His entire body was shaking as he stared at Dorian, fear in his eyes
Dorian sloalked over, scanning the group They were all, somehow, still alive
"S… st… stay away&8221; Jasper’s voice was raspy as he whispered as loud as he could, one of his ar as he tried to raise it His body was, unfortunately, in too terrible a condition to move He could only stare at Dorian in fear and horror
Dorian walked over to stand in front of the Light Wizard, glancing down at him
In the back of Dorian’s mind, an ancient voice appeared once more This voice was quiet, inaudible in reality At a subconscious level, however, the voice could just barely be heard, a pale, wavering whisper,
‘Kill him’
Dorian’s eyes were still bloodshot as he stared down at the Shade that had attacked him earlier
In his mind, that darkness that had spread and was present in every part of his brain, sed completely, seemed to writhe Dorian’s body was exhausted and drained, vulnerable
His right arrabbed ahold of the powerful Shade, lifting hi voice echoed quietly, repeating itself,
‘Step into chaos Seek perfection’
"Ulp!&8221; Jasper struggled, his eyes twitching as he did everything he could to get out of Dorian’s grasp He was helpless, his body listless
Dorian slowly began to close his hand, choking him
A second passed
Jasper’s eyes filled with despair as they rolled up in the back of his head, the Shade slipping into unconsciousness
‘Kill him’
Dorian’s ar
His heart tre at hi It drowned out everything, casting aside his ehts, his worries
A darkness forced upon Dorian’s soul, out of his control
A darkness left behind by a God
Dorian felt as if he was starting to lose hi flashed out of it
A sainst the darkness, full of hope and light
Aat sea, Dorian reached out, clinging to thisit fill him
It was a memory full of emotion
A memory of a conversation between Dorian, and a Wizard he was on a journey to save
Williarassy meadow, surrounded by trees and the re up at Dorian, from back on the planet of Hasnorth, when Dorian had been in his Myyr Dragon form
"Why did you save me?&8221; William’s voice was full of disbelief as he stared at Dorian
TheWilliauess because it felt like the right thing to do&8221;
"What?!&8221; Willia at the dragon in helpless anger
"I’m your enemy! I tried to capture you! I even helped lead them to you&8221; As Willia,
"If you were sht no do you knoon’t lead theain?!&8221;
A moment passed as William’s words had settled
"I don’t know that you won’t lead thelinting,
"But I will live how I choose to live, and not a dae that Maybe I don’t have the strength, right now, to back those words up&8221;
"But one day I will What kind of huon would I be, if I didn’t live up to what I believed in?&8221;
&8211;
Theaway
Dorian’s eyes widened, however, as he shook his head, awakening fro The darkness lingered, however, still present in hishim to the floor as he stumbled backwards in confusion
"Wh-what the hell was that?'&8221;He shook, coughing up a small amount of blood as he looked at his ar sick all of a sudden
’30 seconds till this area collapses’ Ausra interrupted his thoughts with a cool warning
"Arrgh&8221; Dorian swore as he knelt down next to the shades again, wondering why every single part of his body see at him in pain
‘Absorb’
The Shades were covered in blood and injuries Dorian tapped his claws on several patches of blood, absorbing it
‘Shade Bloodline acquired
As soon as he received the notification, Dorian began to grab the Shades, piling them all on his shoulders and back His body was one that was abnorht, even in his Ifrit for an arht of the 6 Shades
Unfortunately, every step was a trial as Dorian heaved, blood spurting out of his injuries His body was in the worst condition it had been in yet
‘Da al his luck
‘You have 15 seconds till the area collapses’
Dorian’s chest shook as he dragged himself and the Shades next to the Red Portal He looked down at the glowing pool of light, one that was shaking back and forth It would teleport anyone that stepped into it to an unknown location, due to the randoy fluctuations
"Godspeed, Shades You, apparently, were good people, so I will try to let you live Goodbye&8221; Dorian unceremoniously threw the over hiet teleported right on top of the angry Grakon King Dorian had sent through it
‘You have 10 seconds till the area collapses’
Dorian took one last look around the frozen cha to crack, ice and rock shivering
He turned his eyes back to the Red Portal
‘You have 5 seconds till the area collapses’
‘Please drop me off somewhere where I won’t die’ Dorian sent up ainto the Red Portal
WHOOSH
Dorian’s body shivered and vanished
BOOM
Just a few seconds later, raround cha due to its unstable state The city of Icicar shifted as a third of its area blew up, sending enore that even the odd landscape of Blizzaria could not restore
Leaving behind a sht struggling to live, but slowly fading to darkness
Many miles away, on a distant planet

Mello was currently in his Sea Aethht scales It was, he had determined, his favorite humanoid form His main form wasn’t exactly a body he could use everywhere
"Number 76 Number 54 Have you two decided on names for yourselves?&8221; His voice echoed softly in the se
The walls of the study were covered in books There was a large, wooden desk at one end, and a couple sets of chars and armchairs at the other, around a sures could be seen sitting on a pair of ar, with charred grey skin and a wide set of sweeping, edged horns sticking out to either side of its head A large, glowing green gelea of strength It looked intie &8211; ii) (Can’t open in App)

"Yes&8221; The de spoke first,
"I will be called Xaphan Keeper of the furnace of Hell, reatest chef in existence!&8221;
The air shivered as he spoke, twisting and distorting slightly As if Fate itself arping
Xaphan paused,
"Well, soon to be uess Technically And I’ll be the best chef in reality as soon as I figure out how to cook properly&8221; The deet there&8221; Mello replied and nodded understandingly, waving his hand encouragingly

The two Anoing glances
"What if it doesn’t want to join the Alliance?&8221; Xaphan asked, waving his hands,
"That bastard Number 11 certainly didn’t&8221;
Mello’s eyes took on a cold edge, but his smile never faded,

The two Anohtly
