I was scared.

My body felt cold, and I was shivering uncontrollably. Despite how cold I felt, beads of sweat still formed on my skin. Terrified of this entity, and the huge possibility of loss, I remained stagnant in the sky.

I watched as my bolts of light flew in the Nether's direction, waiting and keenly observing the effects.

"This is stupid."

Without moving an inch, the blasts were completely dissolved.

'They were canceled out by his Nether. They were too weak, after all. Then…'

Using Spellcraft to attract the Aether around me, while also powering it up with [Strength] to quicken the process, I created a javelin of light.

It contained more condensed energy, and I fired it right at the Nether.

"Hmmm? I see." This time, he flicked his finger, and the javelin met the same fate as the bolts that came before it.

"I see you're being cautious… testing the waters. But I grow impatient. So, I'll be coming to you now."

My eyes widened as I felt the Nether suddenly appear behind me. It didn't even take a second, or a fraction of it.

One moment, he had been speaking to me, and the next, he was behind me. It made me realize something… that this monster could kill me at any time.

'He's been messing with me!' My thoughts rang out as I smiled internally.

Using Spellcraft, I became one with my surroundings. Of course, all my senses improved dramatically. However, because of this bond, I could easily be anywhere in my sphere of influence as well.

No distortion or disturbance could prevent my free teleportation. Besides, since it was close by, and well within my domain of influence, I could evade even the Nether's strikes.

My brain couldn't keep up with the speed of my opponent, though. However, I wasn't necessarily the one casting the Spells. It belonged to my Original Magic.

'Great Sage's Grimoire!'

I vanished from my location before the Nether could capture me, moving even further above him. A smile formed on my face, and sweat dripped down my face.

That was a close call, and I really thought I would die. However!

'I've got you where I want you now!'

All the Aether around swiftly converged on him, shrouding him in their multicolored light. Back when he had been outside my area of influence, I could only test the waters, but with him here, I could attack with all I had.

Of course, trying to damage his body was useless. He was too strong for the Aether to really damage him. However… I hadn't forgotten how he got to this state.

'Ultimately, the Nether is possessing a vessel, and that vessel has the total set of Arcanas within him to keep everything stable.'

If I used Spellcraft to guide the Aether into my target, and offset the reactions going on within him, then it would be my victory. No, I probably didn't even need that much.

'Just one Arcana. If I can just offset one Arcana, or cause an internal imbalance due to the mix of Aether and Nether, that will be enough.'

The chain reaction would cause the Nether to go unstable, and that was when we would all make our counterattack. That's right… that was the hallmark of my plan!

>VWUUUUUUSSSSSSHHHHH!!!<

I sent the Aether around him to even the depths of his soul, concentrating them in order to poison him from the inside out. His external shell was tough, but what about his internal self?

Giving it my all, with total concentration, I probed deeper and deeper, until—

"You fool." The Nether chuckled, causing me to suddenly freeze.

"So that's what you were trying to do? How foolish."

My eyes widened instantly, feeling a certain pressure course through my body.

"What an interesting way to use Magic. Unfortunately, you're not the first to try something like this on me. What did he call it then? Magecraft? Haha… he truly was an interesting specimen."

I didn't understand a word of what the Nether was speaking, but that wasn't important at the moment.

'I… I can't move! I can't use Magic!' I couldn't do anything at all.

"Aren't you aware of the dangers of this technique? If you can control the Aether remotely by infusing your energy into it, then isn't it possible for me to hijack that control by infusing my more dominant power?"

Upon hearing this, my eyes widened and my senses suddenly went haywire.

All the Aether around me, all the lights that surrounded me, suddenly died out. They all became corroded, turning into Nether.

And I was right in the middle of it.

I couldn't do anything but helplessly watch.

"What now? What is your counterattack?" The Nether asked, but I could not respond.

My body was no longer my own, and my mind was going blank.

"Don't tell me you only thought this far? This is all you can do? Really?"

Unbelievable pain seared through me as the overwhelming Nether began eating through my body. It felt so painful that I wanted to cry and scream, but no sound would come out.

In silence, my body went through torture.

"I don't understand why he would choose someone like you. You're weaker than he was when this happened. You're also not as clever—or should I say, creative?" As the Nether belittled me, I felt everything around me going blank.

I could hear faint noises beneath me—the voices of my allies.

"Compared to him… you're nothing special."

A gust of wind lunged at the Nether, but he waved it off in a flash, sending whomever it was crashing to the ground.

"Stay out of it." He whispered and drew closer to me.

"Singularity, this is the end. I'll kill you, and then kill this world. I'll consume everything and become whole." The Nether's hand touched my chest, and I felt a searing pain course through my soul.

"Don't even think of returning. This Soul, and every other one that exists in any other place within this plane of existence… will be extinguished."

It was painful.

I was scared—terrified.

I was really going to die.

No coming back, no contingency, no countermeasure.

Everything was going to end right here!

"Bye bye."
