Ghosts Domain

A dark night...

A clear white moon was revealed between the dark clouds...

Under this moon, there was a big forest that was currently in a weird situation...

The forest... How to say it... Just like every forest, was filled with trees... Yet looking at it carefully, one can feel the usual atmosphere around this forest...

The trees were shaking by themselves, while the roots around kept moving from time to time here and there...

Well... That was the situation for now... But the next second the scene changed dramatically...

Have you seen a forest fire? Just imagine it, a forest catching fire turning the forest into a red inferno world...

Yet that wasn't what happened to the forest exactly...

The world that was hardly lit by the moon, didn't need the little light anymore...

Because the entire forest lit up a beautiful bright blue light in a few seconds only...

A blue flame spread in a second as if the dark forest before was just an illusion!

*HshaHshaHsha*

Looking carefully, everywhere around the forest, countless humanoid figures floating everywhere making harsh yet funny laughing voices...

These figures weren't like normal humans, but floating blue flames in human shapes, with deep flaming eyes and no other expressions...

Just kept moving around spreading the flames and enjoying the destruction they made in the forest!

*RWOOOR*

While in the middle of the forest, four huge dragons like monsters made of flames flew up and started attacking the forest even more...

The flames were so hot, that normally even a little bit of fire could burn a normal tree to ashes...

However, the forest wasn't completely helpless against this flame!

The trees leaves actually devoured the flames thought should simply be ashes by now, even though they will be burned in the end, but there was great resistance from the trees... and the roots started fighting and hunting the flame figures all around...

"This forest is stronger than I thought..." Gray who was standing in the void on top of the forest looked down and said to himself...

"Weird... My ghosts are being hunted faster than the trees... And the trees are recovering fast... Even if I made the ghosts stronger this won't work..." Perona came to Gray's side and said while looking at the scene around them with curious eyes...

While talking, thousands of veins came out from the ground under them attacked them together as a huge serpent...

But before the veins could reach them, in Gray's hand a short sword suddenly appeared and directly waved this sword toward the vines...

With his hand movements, the short sword magically extended by itself and became the long sword releasing a huge blue flame sword slash-cut directly burning the veins that attacked them with no resistance at all directly hitting the ground making a huge slash hole in the ground...

"Hmmm, These trees are recovering with the help of each other?" Gray didn't care about the damage he made with his sword swing, but observed the trees that were recovering with the support of the roots around and the weird calm red energy that was actually passing through the entire forest!

Yes... There is a weird and calm energy in every root in this forest... Deep energy filled with... Something similar to life energy...

Just watching this scene, Gray felt as if the entire forest was one tree...

*RWOOOR* Four huge dragons made of flame that Gray made, moved in the four directions destroying a huge part of the forest in their way like a moving disaster...

Yet the forest trees started regrowing from ashes as they were not even destroyed...

"Awesome! burn this dead forest to ashes dragons!!!!" While looking at the forest thinking of what he should do, Gray heard an excited voice behind him cheering for the flame dragons...

Gray turned his face looked at Niala who wrapped herself like an octopus on his back watching the scene around her with sparkling eyes and not knowing what to say...

While Nagini on his shoulder already wanted to slap dead this shameless little girl...

If it wasn't for the fact that she was a little girl, Nagini would have already started...

Hmmm... Originally the main reason Gray wanted to stay in this forest was to test Niala's real ability under whatever will attack them...

Gray already knew that something might attack them... After all, it was quite clear... A big *** forest with not even one bird, and a few wooden statues...

Even the blind can notice the weird situation here...

He expected a tree to attack him, or maybe a weird animal hiding here or there... But when the entire forest was activated, he was surprised honestly...

When Niala saw that Gray was ready to attack and leave her between the veins, she already knew Grays thoughts...

So she actually jumped into Gray's back refusing to let go as if her life depends on this...

Niala's shameless actions stunned Gray completely...

This girl's face always had smug eyes and a ridiculous smile as if she can deal with everything, which never made him think that she will act like this...

He expected her to show her ability with her usual smug face... But... Yup...

It was wrong to expect this girl's next reaction from the very beginning...

Such a shameless girl can never be a strong person...

At the end under the roots attack, Gray was forced to forget about her for a second...

He thought about simply using force to throw her away... But... Somehow, Gray couldn't do this honestly...

After all, it wasn't normal to throw a little girl into a sea of fire... A sea he made by himself...

So in the end, he was forced to carry her on his back... Completely against what he was planning...

'Maybe I'm really naive...' Gray thought of his original purpose and the result... and felt ridiculous...

'Well... confirm it later...' Gray shook his head and looked at the forest under him...

From what he observed already he can see that all his attacks will be useless against this forest...

The magic he used was a kind of dark art magic that should never stop till burning its target completely...

But apparently, in this situation, their flames might be consumed by the forest before it could burn anything for real...

So Gray has two solutions right now...

Either to destroy every tree and root in one attack... which simply wasn't a real option...

And the other was to find the source of the red life energy that keeps supporting all this forest...

From what he can see, the source was underground.... But to find it, this will be troublesome normally...

After all, he can't search the entire forest ground!

But...

"Perona... I think you can use it..." Gray thought of something and said to Perona who was watching Niala with an annoyed look in her round eyes...

"Ha?" Hearing Gray's words, Perona also woke up and looked at him confused for a second...

But Gray next words made her eyes shine with excitement...

"Turn this forest upside down..." This was Gray's words...

"Ha? Ha? What did you just say?" Niala heard Gray's words and was stunned for a second...

But soon Niala saw what Gray was talking about...

Perona suddenly opened her two palms and countless funny-looking pale white ghosts were released from two bubbles like white energy...

The ghosts didn't attack nor hunted anything in the forest...

But all of them moved down and entered the ground under them...

The magical scene wasn't this... But what happened after a few seconds from this...

Perona closed her eyes for a few seconds as if she was feeling something, then opened her eyes and looked in a current direction in the forest...

With her actions, Perona moved two hands and smiled wickedly...

"HraHraHra!!! Ghost domain! Rise up for me" Perona gave her move a name and smiled while doing what she always wanted to do, but never had the chance...

*RUMBLE****

As Perona screamed, the entire forest ground started shaking as if a disaster was about to happen...

And a disaster was really about to happen...

The earth started craking and the forest started collapsing... It can't be called collapsing, but more like being unbalanced because of the many parts that were slowly rising up!

Yes... The ground broke into many huge lands that were slowly rising up from the ground...

"Wonderful..." Niala saw the scene in front of her and said with a weird light in her eyes...

The ground couldn't rose so much, because the roots were there like a dark network in the ground connecting everything together...

"Hm..." Perona saw the resistance of the ground, and didn't care but even made a more evil smile. while the entire ground around also started rising together with her targeted area...

If someone looked from afar, he will see a very shocking scene...

The entire forest ground at this moment was slowly rising and being destroyed into many areas because of the weight difference destroying the roots forcefully...

Ghosts domain... For Perona to call her ability in this name wasn't for nothing...

What Perona was doing?

It was one of her new abilities she got after Gray merged the numerous soul attributes to save her spirit before...

Anything her ghosts possess will be completely under her control moving it any way she wants as if it was her own ghost...

And the weirdest thing about it that she doesn't even need to use so much energy!

Perona's talent and control after merging numerous soul attribute raised so much, especially her control over her ability...

So for her to be able to control the entire forest ground like this was simply a funny thing for the current her...

Perona didn't have the chance to use this ability other than making some pranks on the poor students before... But at the same time, she never encountered anything she can't control...

Gray saw the limitless possibility of this ability before...

What was happening here, might be a very simple rough use of her ability...

"Great....." Gray watched Perona really turning the forest upside down as he said and had a happy smile on his face...

How to say it... He saw this princess growing up to this by himself...

But soon the air around Gray also started becoming weird...

Around him, dark smoke started appearing making the air around him in a few meters full of dark smoke...

"Gray! It's there..." Niala didn't care about the darkness around her and pointed at a current place...

Gray was also watching the place... It was a huge piece of land not far away, the difference of this land was that the ground heart was actually shining red light...
