Chapter 19: Human Town (VII)

Morax teleported the demi humans to the near the center of the Disaster Forest. They were facing Morax and behind him was 10 houses that be could inhabit with 5-7 people in each house and there is no people in it. The demi humans runs towards the the houses while the princess, some other elves that guards the princess and Morax still in the same spot where they teleported.

"W-what is this?" Liwa asked in surprised tone.

"Houses," Morax replied as if he was saying the obvious.

"I know that. But aren't we inside the Disaster Forest?" Liwa asked as she look a Morax.

"Yes, we are in the forest. And don't ask anything about why this house in the forest, okay?" Morax said. Liwa just nodded.

"How many demi humans do you have?" Morax asked as he look at Liwa beside him.

"Including me, there's 49 of us," Liwa replied to Morax unnecessary question, he already know it, after all.

"Well then, I should go now," Morax said.

"Aren't you staying?" Liwa asked.

"Nope," Morax said as he look at the houses.

"Make this place bigger and I bring some demi humans from other human settlement," Morax said as he sank into his own shadow. After hearing what he said, tears flows out from Liwa's eyes. For so many years of hardship and struggle, finally, someone had helped them.

"Are you alright, your highness?" An elven man with blonde hair and green eyes, asked.

"Yes, I'm fine buck," Liwa replied. Liwa wiped her tears with her hands, She turn her head towards the beautiful blue sky as the a strong yet gentle wind flows to them, she then said. "From this day forward, we will rise and get stronger so that we won't be recognized as weak and won't become like our past selves."

*****

Morax and I are currently walking towards the town after exiting out of the mansion, what we saw was a complete mess. I look around the town and saw many dead bodies on the ground both humans and demi humans, also some injured people and blood was everywhere.

"What the hell happened here?" I unintentionally asked, while not being bothered of the sight.

"Seems like the demi humans found a chance to escape. Though, some of them were probably driven by their hatred towards the humans which lead them to attack and kill them," Morax replied.

"Oh yeah, they were slaves until now, right?. So it's understandable for them to hate humans," I muttered, but I'm sure Morax heard me since his looking at me with a smile on his face, like there's no bloodbath in front of us.

"HEY! STOP RIGHT THERE!" Someone shouted behind us. We turn around and saw 7 knights only few meters away running towards us while holding their swords. They probably saw us when we went out of the mansion.

"Capture them! Kill them if necessary!" The one that was leading the knights, ordered.

"AHHH!" The knights roared as they got closer.

"Ugh... Again?" I said in a dissatisfied tone. Morax look at me with a smile that says, "can I?" I smiled back and said, "sure."

Morax moved his right hand in front of his chest, he open his hand and said, "Black Hole." Then a fist sized pitch black sphere grew from out of nothing, floating an inch above Morax's palm.

Morax threw the sphere or black hole towards the knights' direction.

"They're attacking! Dodge it!" The knight leader shouted. When the black hole got near the knights, they dodge it, dash forward.

"Now your dead!" The leader said as he tried to slash Morax with his sword.

"Huh?...?" The knights and their leader stop their attack as they were surprised when they noticed that their feet wasn't on the ground anymore.

"What?!" How?!" "What the fuck is happening?!" "Why are we floating?!" The knights were full of questions while making a terrified expression as they had a feeling that something bad is gonna happen to them.

"You! What in hell did you do?!" The leader shouted as he ask while face Morax.

"Who knows?" Morax answered while wearing an innocent smile.

"Hey! It's getting worst!" One of the knights shouted as their bodies rotate about 90 degree, making them face the ground. Suddenly, their bodies slowly moving backwards, as if there was something pulling them. The leader look back and saw the black hole that Morax made, it was floating behind them as the space and reality was distorted around the black hole.

"What the?" The leader muttered. They couldn't do anything by now but scream for mercy, since the black hole began to suck them like a vacuum. Before the the leader got absorb completely, he shouted to us, "CURSE YOU, MONSTERS!"

Well, I can't deny that. Since both me and Morax aren't humans, I'm a dragon now and Morax is probably a demon or something. Maybe it's time to ask him about his race.

"Hey Dear. What race do you belong to?" I asked.

"I'm a demon," he replied casually. Just as I thought, he is a demon, because that level of handsomeness is illegal to human laws.

"I have another thing to ask," I said. He nodded.

"Can you teach me how to make that black hole you made?" I asked him as cutely as possible to make him say yes no matter what. Well, even if I don't act like this his gonna say yes anyway since I'm the one who ask him, let's just hide the fact that I wanted to act cute, hehehehe.

"Sure," he replied and added, "first, manipulate the mana in your, especially where you want to create the black hole." I did as he told, I placed my palms in front of me and began to control the mana around.

"Good, now try to push the mana away from you along with the air," he said. I tried to push the mana and air away, I thought it was easy but it's not, since I have to make an actual space inside a planet. After a few minutes, I finally made a space just by pushing the air and mana and something like a barrier that I don't know, it's probably part of the atmosphere. In other words, I just made an empty hole inside the atmosphere, I'm also not breathing or more like I can't breathe. Though, I'm still alive probably because of me being a dragon or perhaps because of my skill {Immortality} that I don't have to breathe to live.

"Good job," he said, looking at the space I created. "You're almost there. Now, you just have to compress the space until it becomes a singularity. That's the core of a black hole." I nodded and focused on the space. I tried to squeeze it with my mana, but it was harder than I thought. The space resisted my compression, and I felt a pressure building up in my palms. I gritted my teeth and pushed harder, feeling sweat drip down my forehead. "Come on, you can do it," he encouraged me. "Just- a little more." I gave it my all, and finally, the space collapsed into a tiny point. I felt a sudden surge of gravity, and then a dark sphere appeared in front of me. It was a black hole, and it was beautiful. It shimmered with different colors, and I could see the light bending around it. "I did it!" I exclaimed, feeling proud and happy. "I made a black hole!" A happily shouted.
