The scene cut and shifted again...Rhys could see that the creature had once again grown. This time, its growth was more significant.Its body was as big as a small hill, and the snake on its tail had turned into a mighty python. Its black, serpentine eyes were filled with the desire to kill and devour.The creature was perched on top of a very high mountain. Above the mountain, was a sky filled with vengeful clouds. Bolts of lightning swam within these clouds, some of them striking against the mountain peak. The thunder spread shockwaves that also impacted the mountain peak. Rhys watched as the mighty creature howled at the heavens, bolts of electricity swimming in its eyes.As it opened its mouth, a roar that shook the heavens was released. Its eyes turned blinding white. A field of lighting bolts swam all around it...Then, the heavenly bolts of judgment began to fall...Rhys watched in amazement as each bolt of lighting fell, aiming to claim the mighty creature's life. The entire

They continued their journey for several hours. The mountains were very big, and their speed of descent was agonizingly slow.However, they couldn't afford to make any mistakes. The deeper they went, the more chaotic the flow of energy became. At this point, they had lost the ability to use any of their skills. Rhys 's expression changed from one of worry to annoyance numerous times during their descent.All this time, the {Dark Soul} kept moving below them. Its job was to notify Rhys as soon as it noticed any changes.As such, they continued to move for hours without rest. Despite his superhuman strength and endurance, Rhys could already feel his arms becoming numb.He was exhausted because of the battle with the {Chaos Orc}, and although he had rested and recovered most of his depleted energy, the recovery was not absolute. He was still rather tired.Despite this, Rhys kept going. Riva had not uttered a single peep, expressing fatigue. This meant he couldn't say anything as well. Al

"Again!"Splat!"Again!"Blegh!"Again, damnit!"Rhys gritted his teeth as beads of blood rolled down his cheeks and mouth. He had tried numerous times in the last few minutes but to no avail. The last one was the worst. His left eye had simply exploded, leaving behind a fountain of blood and a gaping wound.This was happening, because he couldn't control the amount of mana the {Eye of Clairvoyance} skill was taking. Every skill and spell had a set mana cost. Removing the limiter on the magic circle or rune of ability would lead to it not needing to follow the mana cost.However, the skill or spell still absorbed mana at a certain rate. This rate was constant no matter what. The limiter controlled the amount of mana a skill could have. However, the rate at which it absorbed energy was simply a product of all its components working together.Usually, the rate of mana flow was constant, so this wasn't an issue. However, if for some reason it was lower than normal, then the skill or spel

Rhys had never been educated in any field of magic officially. If he had, he would have known that what he was doing now was nothing short of miraculous. In fact, ninety-nine percent of all mages would probably be unable to achieve his feats, regardless of what tiers of magic they could execute.It was truly beyond understanding. To put things into perspective, he was trying to wrestle command of the elements from a primordial devil with nothing but a few low-tier runes and magic circles brought together using inlay magic. Devils could control mana just as well as they could control devil essence.This was something that would be laughed at and deemed impossible by official magic institutions around the universe.And yet, here he was...Although he was faced with a dilemma, he actually had a solution to his problem. However, he was unsure if he should pursue it or not.If he succeeds, he will be doing something truly unimaginable. If he failed, he and Riva would die.'Should I risk it

Normally, Rhys would have been preparing himself for a swift death. However, he could tell that the Primordial devil of Chaos, or what was left of it couldn't kill them immediately not because it didn't want to, but because it was not very possible at the moment.Still, that didn't mean it couldn't crush them to pieces with the gradually increasing pressure it was exerting. Rhys could feel his lungs collapsing and his spine cracking under the intense pressure.The energy in the cave was becoming even more haywire. Deep rumbling sounds came from the depths of the mountain as the energy began violently rolling through the entire mountain.Rhys didn't know if he could wrestle with a Primordial devil. However, he knew for sure that if he didn't do something, they would end up dead very quickly...Rhys gritted his teeth as he stared down into the lake, where he could easily see the eye of the Primordial devil,"Let's see who wins, bastard!"Blood poured down his mouth as he poured his mana
