The Chronicles Of Rhaxtyx

The mana itself was agitated and was raging around Rhaxtyx. His mana was unleashed and threatened to destroy everything around him. He looked at mercenaries and their boss-man. When they saw him look, their very cores trembled out of fear. They learned today that they offended someone they shouldn't have.

"H-hey. Look at his eyes! They are crimson." (lackey)

"You're right! Demon! A demon has appeared!" (lackey2)

"Idiots! Demons were eradicated ages ago! Don't you ever read!? He's just a weakling poser." (Boss-man)

"But boss look! His eyes and hair color matches all the legends! We should get out of here!"

"If anyone tries to run, I will turn them to ash! You will stay, and kill this bastard!"

While mercenaries were arguing amongst themselves, Rhaxtyx was transforming. The body that everyone sees is his 'normal' mode. His powers are limited in this mode because he focuses himself to a physical form. But his true form, 'God Mode' if you will, is his true self. His natural state. In that state, he can do anything. Omnipotence, omniscience, he has it all. He usually doesn't use his 'God Mode' because it can be tiring sometimes, especially if he pushes too hard. But right now, he doesn't care. All he wants to do is punish these mortals for their sins.

In his usual mode, he looks like he is 16-17 years old. His body becomes as if he was 25-28 when in 'God Mode'. And right now is no exception. As he begins to transform, he gets taller, his face becomes more refined and his eyes become sharper as well. And his clothes change alongside.

*Thump thump*

But just as he was about to change his mode completely, something stopped him. He felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and spat a mouthful of blood. He fell on his knee and thought.

'What the hell? Why can't I change? What is going on?'

He closed his eyes and concentrated. What he saw was a black symbol, floating around his mana pool.

'What is this? Does it stop me from transforming? Seems like it. And it looks like it imposes a limit to my current self as well. I can't use my full power. Well, this much power is enough to punish some sinners as well.'

"There is our chance! Kill him! NOW!" (Boss-man)

"Gefer shojet. Perla shouja yur, varva tuan." (You have sinned. To compensate it, lives [will be] take[n][/You will die])

"Boss, there is something wrong. I can feel my mana rushing out of control! I'm sure you can feel it too. It must be him! He must be chanting!" (Mage)

"He's just spouting nonsense. And mana is not something to move out of control. So stop crying and attack him now!"

Everybody attacked Rhaxtyx. Archers fired their arrows and mages their spells. Melee fighters rushed him and while all of these attacks were about to reach him the time slowed down. It was as if there was a barrier surrounding Rhaxtyx as all the attacks and attackers were stuck before reaching him. He looked around and uttered only one word.

"Bexol." [Begone]

*whoom whoom*

Rhaxtyx's last word echoed around. And with that, a wave of mana passed through everything and around Angeline who was on the ground. All the mercenaries, arrows and spells were affected by this mana wave and every single one of them were just disappeared. Even the whole village was the same. The only thing left to remind there was civilization here was just the support beam that Angeline hit. After this mana wave, the surroundings have become a mana rich place.

Rhaxtyx turned around and looked at Angeline, still bleeding from her head. He felt sorrow and guilt.

"You are an interesting person, risking your life for someone that you've just met. It would be a shame if you died and you still have a promise to keep. But I can't use all of my powers. Fortunately, even if I'm not in my final form, I can do pretty much everything. So, Naore(Heal)"

With that word, all of Angeline's wounds were healed. The only thing that indicates she was injured is the blood on her hair.

*Thump*

"Hnng!"

Rhaxtyx felt a piercing pain and collapsed while holding his heart. His breathing was rough and a little bit of sweat appeared on his forehead soon.

'What the hell… is this pain!? '

With that final thought, he lost his consciousness. As the world is painted black, he returned to his normal mode. Soon after he lost his consciousness, Angeline opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Rhaxtyx lying on the ground, his eyes closed.

"Rex?!"

She rushed beside him to check his condition. His breathing was fine and his pulse was stable. But there was blood on the corner of his mouth and his face was as if he's suffering. He also had a fever too, which worried Angeline even more.

"God damn it. What in the world-"

When she raised her head, she finally saw her surroundings. A whole village, which was burned down, and a troop of mercenaries, they were all gone. There was not even a speck of ash. A whole village was wiped away and all that remains is a green clearing and a single support beam.

"What the hell is going on!? Rex! Wake up! God dammit, what happened to you?!"

Even if she shook Rhaxtyx, he gave no response. There was a trickle of blood on the corner of his lips so she checked his injuries with a quick mana examination. Externally he was fine but when she wanted to check his insides she felt a force pushing her mana away. This made her confused and worried. His face was creased and he was sweating, he looked like he was in pain.

--------------------------------------------------

'Where am I?'

Rhaxtyx opened his eyes in a void. There was darkness all around him, no ceiling, no floor, no walls. He could feel something was under his feet but he could not see anything.

"What is this place?" (Rhaxtyx)

"What is this place?"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

He heard another voice like an echo. But the difference was that this voice was not like a man's or a woman's. You could not make out the s.e.x of this voice just by hearing. And this was weird. Rhaxtyx has never seen or heard something like this.

"Who are you?" (Rhaxtyx)

"Who are you?"

"Why are you repeating me?"

"Why are you repeating me?"

*Snap*

"Show me your f*king face you bastard!"

"Show me your f*king face you bastard!"

"F*CK YOU!"

"NO, F*CK! YOU!"

"Wait what?"

"… Well, sh*t. Ehem. Welcome to my, The Mighty World Tree's domain!"

"Cut the crap! Who the hell are you? Show yourself!"

"Eih!"

With that cute(?) voice, a tree came to view after a flash of bright light. It was at the size of an a.d.u.l.t oak tree; about ten meters high. The tree was shining brightly like a beacon. The weird thing is, this tree looked dead; it had no leaves on its branches and its trunk looked like it was as dry as a desert and the weirder thing is on this enormous tree's trunk, there was a pitch black flame like symbol. The symbols arms stretched far and wide, along the tree trunk and up against its branches. It looked ominous.

"Hi!"

"Don't 'Hi!' me! Who the hell- Wait, you look familiar!"

"I told you, I'm The Mighty World Tree! You know, Yggdrasil!"

"Well, you look old."

"Who's old?! You're old!"

"Of course you're old. You look ready to be used as fuel!"

"HUH?! How dare you treat me like a fuel?!"

With a thundering voice the tree asked. Even the space they were quaked from the force of it.

"Ow OW! Stop it! You look all dried up and dead! I mean, how are you still alive?!"

"I'm a tree and trees have their phases okay, jerk!? Are you saying tree lives don't matter?! And even if I told you, you wouldn't understand!"

"Don't go justice warrior on me. What are you, the chairman of Tree Peace? Cut to the chase, will you? Why are you doing in my consciousness?"

"Because of your idiotic curiosity, I had to be stuck here alongside an idiot like you!"

"Why?"

"What do you think will happen if the God of Magic leaves its world!?"

"Everything will be okay and as it should be? Under the safekeeping of an existence as mighty as yourself, I think it should be fine. I mean what am I in front of your might?"

Spoke Rhaxtyx with a flattering tone and behavior.

"Hmph! You know how to speak!"

Said the tree with an arrogant tone. Rhaxtyx, hearing this murmured in a small voice to conceal his true feelings.

"This arrogant bastard."

"I heard you!"

"Shit! Soo any way where were we?"

"Hmph! Because of that magic circle I felt something was wrong as it was different from the laws of my world. And knowing you, I knew you would touch it; yet you shamelessly did! I understood you would be pulled from out of my reach so I had planted myself in your inner space before the connection has been severed!

And because this is another world with its set of rules I cannot connect to my real body in Grelia. That's the reason for that black seal over there. The world tree here, whatever it is called, sealed my powers as well as yours because it couldn't erase me.. The reason you could transform to your Ancient War self is because you used my remaining power. If you continue to do that, you'll eventually exhaust me. And that means your erasure from this world as you are an anomaly and shouldn't exist here."

"So that's the case. What… am I supposed to do to return to my former power, exactly?"

"For once in your life reflect on your actions. Haah!"

"What use is that?! We have to think about tomorrow!"

"Haa you're right. This world's tree can't erase me, thus the seal. If you want to lift it, you, or rather we, have to comprehend and adapt to the laws of this world. From what I can sense, this is a ten-fold seal but I'm not entirely sure. There can be more layers."

"So what you say is 'get stronger'?"

"Basically."

"Ha! That's easy! With my genius it will not take long!"

"For once, your idiotic curiosity will work. Now leave me alone. You used my remaining power too abruptly so I have to rest a bit. Leave."

"No wait no!"

Rhaxtyx reached out and yelled but to no avail.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

After five days, Angeline was getting restless. She carried Rhaxtyx on her shoulders to a safer place in the forest and he's been sleeping throughout them. She wanted to check up on him but a force was repelling her mana. This, in turn made her more anxious. He wasn't opening his eyes and his fever kept increasing. In the third day of sleeping, Rhaxtyx's face became a bit more relaxed and his sweating toned down. His fever decreased and he finally showed signs of recovery.

Angeline was heating some water to wet a cloth and put it on Rhaxtyx's forehead when he moved and murmured. She looked at him with surprise in her eyes as this was the first time a sound escaped his mouth since five days. She went to his side and checked his fever.

'It is decreasing! Is he finally going to open his eyes?'

As she was checking up on him, Rhaxtyx suddenly yelled and reached out. Angeline was shocked by this so she tried to get back but this action proved to be wrong as Rhaxtyx's hand went somewhere it shouldn't.

*Boing boing*

Angeline and Rhaxtyx were both frozen in their place but because of different reasons. Her face was lowered and her hair covered her eyes while he looked up and trembled in fear.

"A-a-ah u-u-ummmm… Would you… believe if I s-said this is aaaallll a huge misunderstanding?"

With a fury never seen before, Angeline punched Rhaxtyx with all her power.

*ZBAM!*
