Chapter 212: Laws
"I told you it would be Silva," Lily said as soon as they saw each other.
"Yeah, yeah, I should have known that a ten-kilometer-wide dome would be the work of Master," Drake said.
"Hmm, so you guys just walked into a dome you saw. What if it was an enemy\'s dome?" Silva asked.
"Then we would fight our way out," Drake said.
"Not possible. Even with your strength, this is called a domain—a place where my rules reign supreme," Silva said.
"So what you are saying is that inside here, there is nothing we can do to you?" Lily asked.
"That is exactly it. I am untouchable here; rather, you would be the ones trying to survive," Silva said.
"Hmm, there is some time before we need to head to your birthday, and we\'ve asked that no one enters the dome until we\'re back—or in two hours if we don\'t return," Drake said.
"Yes, and so in that time we have, we will try to see what this domain can do," Lily said.
"Oh, my two strongest guardians are about to go all out against me? That is something I\'d love to do anytime," Silva said.
Drake didn\'t speak anymore. He just raised his hand into the air, and a hundred blood spears formed and shot down at Silva.
"Nice start, but you\'ll need far more than that to even graze me," Silva said and snapped his fingers. The lava inside twirled and shot up, consuming the spears.
Drake looked at this and analyzed it a bit before making his next move. "You can control everything here, aside from external bodies like us, right? So we just have to ensure we are faster than your controls," Drake said.
"That sounds absolutely stupid, Drake, but I\'ll go ahead with that plan as well," Lily said.
She suddenly vanished. Even Silva could not follow her with his eyes, and oddly, he could not sense her. She had shifted the space and, in an odd way, removed her presence.
Lily was like Aris. She had mastered all elements except time, so she knew space as well. That was why she was able to create shifts and distortions in space.
With the absurd amount of mana she had, she could do whatever she wanted with the elements.
When she finally reappeared, she was behind Silva, about to attack. She fired a huge fireball at close proximity, but a wall rose and blocked her attack.
After blocking her attack, the wall turned into lava, shaped into a lance, and shot at her. But she wasn\'t fazed. She created a wall of ice to block it, then flapped her wings and moved at a teleport-like speed.
While she was with Silva, Drake had readied his attack. As the strongest guardian and a vampire, he wanted to show his mettle. Blood poured from his body and covered him entirely.
It shaped up into full body armor, and a spear of blood appeared in his hands. He stomped on the ground and shot at Silva. A huge explosion happened as he moved, leaving a crater in the ground.
Silva saw him coming, and while he pushed back Lily, he allowed another mind to focus on Drake. A lava hand formed from the pools around and moved to grab Drake.
Drake slashed through the hand in an explosive move and destroyed the arm. He pushed toward Silva, but ten more lava hands were created, all moving toward him at the same time.
He had to stop to fight them. He spun the spear around, and a flow of darkness formed. Like circular blades, they cut through all the lava hands.
This was the first time Silva had seen Drake use anything other than blood. It seemed Drake was getting serious.
"I guess holding back against Master is suicide. I\'ll fight you at full strength," Drake said, and his eyes suddenly glowed. A red diamond mark appeared on his forehead.
Right then, Silva could feel Drake\'s power rising endlessly. Drake launched at Silva with so much speed that space twisted.
Bursting through all the lava hands and walls, Drake was getting close to Silva. But this was Silva\'s domain, and his will made the laws.
The gravity of the domain increased tenfold and slammed the two of them into the ground, stopping them entirely.
"You guys are strong, but the issue is that inside here, I am the law," Silva said.
"Master, today we will teach you one reason the heroes and demon kings are feared," Drake said while standing up, shocking Silva.
Lily also started getting up with much struggle behind Silva.
"How the hell are you two getting up?" Silva asked. He increased the gravity more, pushing them down, but they started getting up again.
"Master, your domain seems to use the concept of laws. Laws are the things that run the world, but every being can create or harness a law when they reach a certain level.
Lady Aris tapped into the law of chaos and is able to cause untold chaos. Lilly is also trying to gain the law of chaos, but right now, she can\'t because of her special ability—the law of time," Drake said.
"Wait, I never thought about it, but Lily can see the future. So that means she should be able to create chaos because the only thing she said she was missing is time, but she has it," Silva said, still increasing the gravity.
"Yes, Silva, I have the ability to see the future, which is advanced time magic, but I can do that because I was born with the ability to control the law of time.
But to gain chaos, I must be able to merge all the elements together, right? But I don\'t have the element of time—I only have the law of time."
