Chapter 203 - 203 – Solitudes Scar

"Reverse Polarity," Lirian chanted and a silver ring raced down Lirian's arm and through the sword, after seeing one of Lirian's spells earlier the saint dared not wait and released the sword immediately, but he was still too late as the silver ring entered his body.

The saint felt fine at first but then he felt a fundamental change occurring to the law in his body it was his law fighting a forceful change and his body itself became the battlefield of his laws fight against the foreign spell.

"How are you doing this to me?" he shouted at Lirian with a hateful gaze.

"If you had a high-level or perfected-level law this wouldn't be possible, but with such a low level law it's easy to change, and since you've adapted your law tightly to your body, can you imagine what's going to happen when your law becomes it's complete opposite," Lirian laughed and made a gesture of an explosion with his hands.

"Nonsense," he roared back at Lirian, changing a law's nature, that was impossible, no not just impossible it didn't even make any sense.

Laws were governors of order, to change a laws nature would be to go against the order of the heavens, it was an incarnation of chaos, such a thing was impossible many had tried it, some great warlocks theorised the possibility and spent their entire life time to do it.

They used countless resources and built all kinds of contraptions to change the nature of laws, but most of them died having achieved nothing and those that did come close to succeeding were struck down by the heavens, showing everyone that it was impossible to change the nature of laws.

Yet Lirian dared to claim that he achieved what countless others had spent their whole lives trying to achieve, not to mention that he did it with a spell he effortlessly cast while in the middle of a battle, it was ridiculous to the saint.

"Hehe, don't believe me if you don't want to but you have like five minutes left to live," Lirian chuckled with a gleeful voice and kicked the saint.

"Take good care of your friend but I'd advise not keep him too close to him, I don't want all of you dying on me yet, I still have plans for you," Lirian said to the two warlocks as the saint was kicked in their direction.

Number 1 didn't believe in Lirian's word but she could see the damage Lirian's spell was causing to the saints body so she used her energy to probe it but just as quickly as she moved her energy into the saints body she pulled it back with a look of pure terror on her face.

She didn't even get to check the saints condition because she felt Lirian's spell attack her frost and shadow laws, both her laws had reached the high-level but they were still affected by Lirian's spell if she kept her energy in contact with the saint she feared that her laws would be affected.

"Did you not learn your lesson from probing my spells earlier?" Lirian mocked her as he flashed the icy sword in front of her.

Number 1 gritted her teeth in anger as she distanced herself from the saint, as much as she hated to admit to it she felt that she had no choice but to believe in Lirian's words.

As she stared at Lirian a black shadow started to envelop the area and soon the entire world became a domain of shadow.

"Took you long enough," Lirian said in annoyed tone as if the domain was something he ordered at a restaurant and the service was horrendously slow.

The warlock who just created his domain gritted his teeth in anger at Lirian's tone, "I'll see if you can still laugh when I'm done with you," he roared and began to launch attacks while also moving Number 1 around inside it the two of them began to use their energy and they even used some of their spells against Lirian.

But in just second the two of them were despairing, even when they launched attacks from beneath Lirian's feet or from just an inch from his face, Lirian still dodged every attack and when they used spells, they were met with counter spells that left their spells useless.

More than once Lirian went so far as to turn their own spells against them, it was like he got a sick sense of twisted joy from turning their attacks against them.

They were utterly powerless against him even in a domain, and that's when they noticed that the saint had gone completely still, not even making a sound of complaint as his body expanded to five time its original size.

They did light probes that only allowed them to examine the outside of their companion as they discovered that that was the only thing they could do, and to their horror they could see that his every cell expanded in size and it was continuing.

The saint had fallen unconscious from the pain but that only allowed the process to speed up without the saint fighting the spell his body expanded rapidly, becoming ten times larger then a hundred soon he was even larger than a house.

BOOM.

His body erupted but nothing fell to the ground instead his every cell seemed weightless and unbound by gravity as it drifted through the air being scattered by the wind.

That's when they were finally able to sense the law in the saint's body and it wasn't the compression law that they knew it was instead a law of expansion.

"By the gods!" they muttered in disbelief it was just as Lirian had said earlier he managed to change a law with a spell.

Lirian felt his spell disappear, he knew that it was the result of the saint dying.

"Do any of you know how a trial ground is created by mortals and immortals?" Lirian asked with a smile as he strolled through the domain as if he owned the place he didn't even show the slightest bit of fear while inside it, in fact it seemed more like he was in control of the world than the warlock.

Lirian didn't wait for a response and continued, "It's a pretty long process with a long list of things that need to be done but in short, when a person nears the end of their life if they wish to leave behind their knowledge and possessions to a fated individual they create a trial ground,"

"They use their mind as the core of the trial ground it allows them to escape death temporally they can live for millions of years sometimes even billions however their minds are forever bound to the trial ground making it impossible for them to ever leave, but the most important part in creating a trial ground is in fact what I'm standing in right now,"

"A domain is what acts as the world of a trail ground, and as it so happens I know a spell to force the process, I've been preparing it since I noticed you creating the domain, I wonder what it will be like for you to be trapped in here forever," Lirian didn't even finish his words before the domain started to disappear.

When it vanished he saw Number 1 and the other warlock looking extremely dishevelled as he looked at Lirian, clearly the thought of being trapped in the trail world forever was not something he appreciated, he'd rather die than live all alone in such a world.

"A wise choice," Lirian said with a teasing smile, "A life of solitude is truly an unbearable one," Lirian spoke with a distant look in his eyes as if remembering something unpleasant.

But the look disappeared just a quickly as he looked at the warlock this time even his smile was completely mocking, "Sadly releasing your domain was a bad move because I forgot to mention one very important detail about the spell, even for me, I have to be at least three cultivation stages above my opponent to use the spell," Lirian said breaking into a violent fit of laughs.

"YOU BASTARD!!!" the warlock roared in anger, he was taken as a complete fool by Lirian, after seeing Lirian's spell change a laws nature he didn't doubt Lirian's words in the slightest so he immediately released the domain when Lirian spoke about his spell.

Just a he finished screaming at Lirian, his body shuddered violently, causing him to take he several steps back from Lirian as he felt Lirian's gaze fall on him, it was suffocating him, it was just a gaze yet if made him forget how to breathe.

"I told you about the pain brought about by solitude, and you lot have taken away one of those that helped me forget about mine," said Lirian but his voice was shaking, no it was trembling like an earthquake had hit him.

"You don't have the right to raise your voice at me or complain about anything I do to you!" Lirian spat with an unstable voice, it was like all that he had done, had no effect on his rage it was like it had the opposite effect and forced it to burn to even greater hights.

'It was just like this when Ella died, I got my revenge, but it didn't take away the pain,' Lirian thought as he remembered his suicides that followed after his initial suicide as Killian.
