Chapter 20: Black Holes

As I was feeling happy and proud of myself for creating a black hole. Although it's small like a marble, I could still feel that it's strong. Suddenly, I felt dizzy as my mana almost drained by just creating a small black hole. Thus, making me lose control over the black hole and it starts to absorbs the surrounding mana and air.

"Ah?" I then began to notice that it also absorb some of my mana from me as the black hole was getting bigger and bigger every seconds, pulling me closer and made an earthquake due to it's strong gravitational force.

"Whaaaa! MORAX!? HELP! I CAN'T CONTROL IT!" I shouted calling Morax as I look at him with my childish teary eyes, even though he's near me. I could see him giggled at the situation I was in.

"Sure," Morax said, then he grabbed my hands with his right hand and pulled me closer to him. "Oh," I was a bit surprised. He grabbed my waist with his left hand, he made a single step backward then we flew off the ground to the sky. He carried me on the skies, I look below me and I saw the black hole was now in a size of a basketball. The people inside the town died by pure pressure from the black hole and the house and structures were destroyed by the earthquake and absorb by the black hole.

"Crap, I messed up," I said while watching the event.

"Guess you did," Morax said as he laughed.

"Can it be stop?" I asked Morax, it's not like I care about the town, I just want to know if he can stop the black hole. A useless question to asked since I've already seen him control one.

"Yeah, want to see an awesome explosion?" Morax asked.

"I want to," I said happily feeling excited to see an actual explosion in real life not on movies. Morax smiled and create another black hole on his palm. It was more darker than the one I made, I can tell that it's much more powerful than mine. Morax dropped his black hole towards mine, his black hole hit me and...

BOOM!

…a huge blast of light and energy erupted from the collision, creating a shockwave that shook the entire continent. The sky turned red and the air was filled with dust and debris. Morax and I were still in the same spot we were at even after the force of the explosion, he hold on to me and shield me from the impact.

"Wow. Your ruthless," I complemented Morax in a weird way.

"I could say the same to you, I only created an explosion but you killed them all 'before' the explosion," Morax countered attacked.

"Right, we're really match with each other, huh~," I said. The sky began to turn back to normal now, but it probably would take a while for the dusts and debris to clear up.

"What should we do about this?" I asked Morax.

"What do you think?" Morax asked with a smirk.

"Leave it, I guess?" I replied, I'm not really concerned.

"Nope?" He said. "Then what?" I asked. A smirk appeared on his handsome face. "I used black hole to kill the knights, you said you wanted to learn black hole and you successfully did used black hole to killed and destroyed the town and I used black hole to stop your black hole. Then we'll use another black hole," he said in confidence, seems like he had fun saying black holes multiple times. "Oh yeah, to suck all of this, right?" I asked as I look at him. "Yep," he replied.

Again, he created a palm size black hole. I watched him create and suck all the dusts in the area. I don't know how he did it, but only the dusts were being absorbed. A minute later, the dusts were finally gone and we didn't see the town but there's a huge crater below us, where the town were supposed to be but now gone. "Now let's go back," Morax said. "Sure," I replied. He then teleported the both of us back to the house in the forest we stayed at. I got down from Morax and was about to went inside the house. "By the way, have you decided?" Morax asked, stopping me at the door.

I look him with a smile on my face and said, "yep, we'll to go to the north. But no teleportation, okay? I want to experience adventures and travel this world." After saying that my expression got serious and said, "Besides, I can already tell that most people that live here are trash. Like the irresponsible lord, the disappointing people that enslaved other races to be their livestock and the abusive knights that. I'm sure the all of them thinks that their doing nothing wrong, and that what makes it worst. There's also a possibility that there's more."

I smiled again and said, "or perhaps I just want to experience new things, hehehe~." Morax walks to me, "you'll experience a lot of things for sure. I'll help you too." He said. "Thanks," I said as Morax put his right hand on my head and both of us went inside.

*****

Before the explosion occur, inside the Disaster Forest. A group of demihumans were working on resting and some of them were collecting. Suddenly the ground shakes violently.

"An earthquake?" Liwa muttered. "What the?" They felt a sudden wave passed through them, right after that, they heard a loud explosion and saw it. The explosion was big enough to hit them, if not, the heat and shock wave will kill them. But, the explosion didn't reach the forest, no, there's something that's blocking it from entering the forest, making it only the wind blow violently. The sky also turned into color red.

The demihumans were covering themselves, some of them look up along with the princess, they were shock. "Is that... Barrier?" The princess Liwa muttered. They couldn't see the barrier, but they can see the flames and dusts couldn't enter the forest.

"Did he made this?" They muttered as they suspect Morax to be the one who created the barrier and the explosion, which was right.

Suddenly, the red sky returns to normal, dusts and flames were going backwards as if it was suck by something. A minute later, the surrounding was calmed.

"What was that?" An elf asked. The Liwa replied, "I don't know, but I think it's his doing."

"That means he's strong, what if he betray us?" One of them asked.

"If he want to, he can do it without a problem. But he didn't, that means he doesn't have any intention on doing that." Liwa replied.

"And also, it's the best choice we have." She added. 'something is telling me that there's more of that explosion. No, they will attack more settlements.' Liwa thought to herself.
