Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Levaerûn: Challenging the Third Faction Leader Prt 6
This is insane, Cherubim! You can manipulate Time? Seriously!?
[Answer: Desperate situation needs desperate Solution]
Make sense! Just by watching Raiden above me, I would be lying if I said my knees weren't trembling by now. I watched as the dark cloud above us lit up, and a massive thunder strike descended to the ground in slow motion, as if God was unleashing its wrath upon me, and I was standing right at the very center of its assault.
The view was breathtaking yet scary at the same time. There were
explosions of colors, manas, and even elemental particles. I bet if things weren't slowed down, I'd probably be dead by now.
So this is what magic could do.
And here I thought shooting massive fireballs and generating a thunder strike through my hand was already a great feat. I was gravely mistaken.
Was the sight of such destructive power weakened me?
Kind off! I never knew such power existed except for the roleplaying game I was addicted to back in my world.

Hearing this, my once weak state suddenly recharged, and I felt like I ate a full-course meal and slept well.
After the time returned to normal, a hail storm of rock and ice spiked above me, and of course, even her ever-troublesome gigantic thundercloud was already preparing to blast another massive thunderstrike to obliterate me.
"Damn you, imitator! What did you do!?" she yelled above me. "Take this!"
Raiden pointed her finger towards me.
Suddenly, the rocks and Ice spikes started falling on me, followed by hair-raising thunder rushing toward me.
I looked up at her. Now that my Elemental magic has evolved, I can assume my magic can beat hers now.
This made me extremely excited; just thinking about the possibility makes me shiver in excitement!
It just goes to show that everything is possible in this world.
All I need to do is to make it happen.
Maybe it's already too late to say it now, but I just realized that since I arrived in this world... I'm finally living a dream.
Let's try this Summoning skill. I need someone who could eat that freaking impending doom of me.
Suddenly, a glowing black circle suddenly appeared before me. It was huge and wide.
"Come forth, whoever you are! Come and eat this ridiculous, dangerous magic above me! I summon you!"
Suddenly, the glowing circle glowed up, and within it, a large sphere emerged from the summoning glowing circle. It was red as blood, and I could see its visible hundreds, maybe thousands of fangs and eyes floating above it.
I don't have any idea what it is. But if it's a devouring creature, so be it.
"Eat it all! It's yours!"
Before the massive thunder strike hit the ground, the creature spread its body and took the entirety of the attack. It swallowed all of it, and everything became quiet. As expected of the creature I summoned, the thunder strike was so strong that rain-like spikes and rocks vanished.
Everything, including the traces of Raiden's massive magic, was gone in just a few seconds.
After doing the job, the creature returned to the glowing circle before the circle of summoning vanished.
However, I finally realized what was the consequence of my summoning.
Raiden had her eyes widened while staring at me in shock; Gareth was silently watching while fear was evident in his eyes; Leo was currently inside a huge cocoon with his mouth shut due to the web in his mouth; Xin was attending to Rafaela by patting her head, and Rafaela who's looking at us with great concern in her eyes.
They were transpiring all at once in my mind, and it made my head hurt as if my mind would explode due to the surges of information arriving inside my brain.
I can see it all at the same time! Did all this happen when I tried the summoning skill?
I held my head as I tried to process all of it, but there was no end!
My head hurts as if it's getting drilled!
[Answer: Summoning Skill can cost you a large amount of Mana, and it depends on how powerful the creature you summon is. Your Mana manifestation had to adjust to be able to accommodate the summoning medium]
Do you mean the circle?
[Yes]
"You summoned a very dangerous creature, Troy!" Raiden yelled at me when she descended down.
The pain suddenly disappeared, and everything was back to normal again.
"I didn't know! I just want to save myself from your attack!"
"How did you even manage to summon someone like that, and nobody had that level of summoning," she said.
"I don't know. I just did."
"Did you know that summoning is advance skill of Dark magic? And that's dangerous!"
"Uhm…"
"However, the fact that you managed to control that thing is remarkable. That thing is a magic eater. It eats who or whatever has magic. In other words, everyone here is potential food for that creature. How did you manage to summon it and even control it?"
I wonder how I did that too.
I wandered my eyes, and all the dark remnants of the summoning medium around us were no longer there; even the thundercloud in the sky was gone. However, I wasn't the one who removed them, and I was so occupied with the pain inside my head that I couldn't turn it off myself.
What greeted me as I shifted my gaze on her was her contented smile while staring at me.
She looked like a parent after seeing her child walk for the first time.
"I think 90℅ of my brain cells just died because of that pain," I stood up and faced her.
She tilted her head sideways. "I don't think so. You manage to summon despite your current level. Some tried to summon such a thing and ended up eating instead or draining their mana. However, in your case, your tribe people are known for having a massive mana scale, so it's reasonable if you call it that."
"Is it just me, or did this match become more of a teaching session than a battle?"
"Really? Then, let's proceed to the next lesson." She turned her back on me and walked back.
Wow, she's really into it, isn't she?
"You already know the fundamentals; perhaps it is safe to assume that you could keep up with me now?"
Suddenly, countless black particles like powder emerged from her back as she walked. She stopped a few meters away from me, faced me with her usual proud smile, and slowly raised her hand, leveling her shoulder.
Out of nowhere, two pairs of black wings materialized on her back. A meter length of pointed wings, it's completely black but at the same time transparent. 2 of the wings were pointing upward while leaning in the opposite direction of each other, while the other two were pointing downward, and just like the other two, they're leaning to the opposite direction of each other.
She's a real deal! A real fairy!
"Have you managed to copy it?"
Copy what? Oh, the wings.
Cherubim didn't react or notify me that he had imitated it.
"You don't have to tell me; I know you can't copy my wings."
Why can't I? I'm pretty sure she used her magic to materialize those wings!
"You're probably wondering why you can't copy my wings even though they are made of magic. Because you can only copy a skill, and these wings are not from a skill. It's one of my natural abilities. Just like Summon's immense mana pool, beast folk's keen senses, incredible physical capabilities, and, of course, the elven people's patheticness. Those abilities are some of the things you can't copy."
