"I guess, well, there's only one way to figure this out."

The three of them walked towards the mirror…and puff, they too, disappeared just as darkness enveloped them. When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in a space embraced by a dark void.

"So? Uh…what's th—" Just Seris was about to complete her words. The dark void twisted, and the same ancient voice resounded throughout the area.

"What is your goal?"

"!!!"

"Freeze all his enemies to death!"

"Burn all his enemies to death!""

"Become his…Foundation"

The answer came instantly, overlapping without hesitation. Azaria's voice cut through the darkness first, sharp and absolute. Followed immediately by Zira's bold declaration and finally Seris…calm and unwavering!

For a brief moment, there was silence. The three women turned towards one another, and they all looked at each other with surprise. Then slowly understanding settled in at that moment.

A faint smile bloomed between the three of them…It was unspoken and effortless.

"Well, well, it seems our goals sure seem…similar," Seris chuckled in a melodious voice. Hearing this, Zira turned her face away, and her neck reddened a bit.

But Azaria was unshaken; she looked straight in her eyes and answered with a smirk, "Says the one who said…foundation."

"Heh, why do you think he had grown this absurdly strong in mere six months? Of course, it was because I was the one who had given him god knows how many pills," Seris smirked. Of course, how could she lose to this icy bitch?

"Hmph." Azaria merely snorted. This was a…clear defeat. There was no counter to this because it was indeed the truth.

During the six-month period, Seris had spent most of her hours inside the alchemy chamber, refining pills for Rahu and feeding those to him like a pig.

Due to this very reason, Rahu favoured her heavily. She was probably one of his favourites.

Before they could continue their argument further, the dark void twisted once again.

"What is your belief?"

The voice questioned, its tone heavier and neutral than before. Hearing this, the three women smirked.

"...Rahu!"

…

When Rahu and Severin entered the gate that led to the next floor. It was the same light realm…just instead of one, there were ten…'Fireflies'.

"W-What are those!?" Severin stumbled back in horror, in front of them. Ten titanic humanoid beings stood, dense light energy rolling out of them in waves. It was monstrous; they all were, at the very least, twenty feet tall, holding a long sword each.

"T-These are the f-fireflies?" Severin said, his voice trembling ever so slightly. Just looking at one of them directly for too long gave a chill down his spine.

Impossible, there's no way he can defeat those. Let alone all ten of them, even defeating one was nigh impossible.

Suddenly, one of the beings snapped its head in their direction, its eyes flaring with blinding light.

Whoooooshhh!!!!

Severin blinked, and in that instant, a lance of light materialized directly before his eyes, close enough for him to feel the intense heat…as it roared at his skull

…Am I going to die?

But just as that beam was about to pierce through his head, a finger flicked his head.

Snap!

Severin's body was violently pushed a few meters away, and the beam of light tore past where he had been standing.

His heart hammered wildly in his chest as he looked at the tall figure in front of him. Rahu shook his head.

"These are fast…so don't get in my way."

Rahu spoke, a grin spreading across his face. Rolling his shoulders, he disappeared!

WHOOOOOSH!!

The beings made of light, those too, moved. They all disappeared together. All of them swung their swords at Rahu's tiny figure at the same time! It was just way too fast.

An invisible layer spread outward from his body with Rahu standing at its center like the eye of a storm.

He raised his hand high. The space around him rippled, then froze!

CLANG!!

A deafening metallic impact echoed through the area as all ten swords struck the unseen screen…all at once. Massive shockwaves spread outward, rolling like tidal waves…yet the blades of light did not move forward in the slightest.

The beings pressed harder, radiant light energy surging violently as they attempted to overwhelm the tiny obstruction!

But still…their swords didn't budge.

Rahu tilted his head; the grin on his face still didn't fade.

"Lapdogs of a god? Heh"

The space around him shook and twisted again. In the next instant, Rahu took a single step forward. Not a movement nor a dash.

It was a dimensional step.

He vanished from below the swords and reappeared behind one of the titanic figures, his presence slipping through the space. Before the being could react, Rahu's hand passed through its chest…there was no sound of flesh tearing down.

The creature froze as Rahu's hand phased through its figure, its light flickered weakly.

The sword in its hand dropped to the ground and vanished, as it fell lifelessly. The others didn't wait; they reacted instantly.

One of them unleashed another monstrous lance, which tore through the space and arrived in front of Rahu in an instant.

But this time, there wasn't just a single lance. Hundreds of thousands of Lances rained down on him.

Rahu grinned; he didn't dodge the incoming attack. He just…stood there.The attacks passed through him harmlessly, as though he were never there.

The Dimensional Veil wrapped around his body, separating his existence from the current dimension.

Rahu didn't linger there for long; he appeared above them.

Then Below.

Beside.

Behind.

Each step was effortless and flawless, and each of his strikes was absolute.

With a casual flick of his finger, space itself collapsed and tightened around two of the beings, crushing them instantly. Their bodies imploded before bursting apart into countless particles of light

A casual swipe of his hand released an invisible wave of dimension…bisecting three figures cleanly.

Only four of them were left. Rahu smiled, stretching his hand forward—he gripped the space.

The four beings trembled violently, and with a puff, they burst into light particles! Rahu stood high in the sky, with the same lazy smile.

"There goes the last bunch of…fireflies."
