Will of chaos

Pov Hela:

High Priest Henry places the green skull filled with blue Runes at the center of the ritual we performed using bone dust and blood.

The High Priest and I stood on either side of the skull within the ritual circle, we had our hands on the skull as we used our affinities with death magic to activate this arbiter.

"< Consumer Ritual of Death: Activate >" (Henry/I)

At that moment, the global gold coins that High Priest Henry brought, as well as some magic crystals, have their energy absorbed by the ritual circle.

The expense just for this ritual is the fortune of a nation, apart from the ritual the master is using which will have no expense, the ritual in heaven must be as expensive as this one.

Soon the ritual begins to glow with a light blue hue due to the pure mana of the global coins, but gradually this glow fades to gray.

"Now I'm going to use my Aura, in the meantime, I won't be able to keep control of the ritual, I leave everything in your hands." (Henrique)

I nod my head as I feel the weight in my mind increase so much, I also feel High Priest Henry reveal his Aura and send it to the green skull.

High Priest Henry's Aura was calm and silent, it gave a feeling of loneliness and death, his Aura was stronger than I expected.

When the Aura enters the green skull, a gray energy starts to rise from the ritual contracted by me and go to the green skull whose eye sockets had two gray flames grow continuously until the entire skull is surrounded by these gray flames.

"< Consumer Ritual of Death: Will of Death >" (Henry)

After a few seconds, the Aura controlled skull begins to flip upwards, then a wave of Aura rapidly expands in all directions.

Through the ritual I can feel how far this Aura continuously spreads, I was also able to perceive a gray and black energy separating from the miasma around us.

The Aura waves keep spreading further and further separating these two forms of energy.

"< Consumer Ritual of Death: Consume >" (Henry)

At that moment the jaws of the green skull open and a light gray whirlpool begins to form and grow little by little, I can feel a great suction force from this whirlpool, but it is only affecting the gray and black energy that has separated from the miasma.

This energy at first comes towards the ritual slowly, but the whirlpool keeps growing until it becomes a gray tornado that goes all the way to the clouds.

With that, the suction of energy was so great that it started to form streams of gray and black energy coming from all directions for the tornado to devour.

The tornado was sucking this energy along with High Priest Henry's Aura, after more than two hours the energy flows coming to the tornado slowed until it disappeared and High Priest Henry's Aura could no longer be felt anywhere.

"< Consumer Ritual of Death: Condense >" (Henry)

After that the tornado appears to come to life and bounces back into the green skull's jaws at high speed before the jaws close, then the blue runes all over the skull began to glow at the command of High Priest Henry.

I could feel a great pressure around the skull as the feeling of death slowly weakens until I can't feel anything but the miasma in my surroundings.

All the ritual energy was absorbed by this skull before the blue Runes in it stopped glowing, then the jaws open and a black orb comes out, the High Priest takes this and stores it with the skull.

High Priest Henry had every bone in his body trembling, his way of moving was slow and his voice carried a tone of weariness.

I myself was feeling weaker after all my energy was spent on this ritual, but the worst thing was the mental fatigue after controlling this ritual alone, my head was hurting from dealing with so much information at the same time.

"We're done, I'm tired..." (I)

"Our part is over, now it's up to others." (Henrique)

"Tell me what sphere was that?" (I)

"Exactly what you saw, death energy and spectral condensed." (Henrique)

"I have plans for that at the end." (Henrique)

Pov Zenos:

I felt when High Priest Henry's Aura passed over me several times as it spread out in all directions in waves, I felt the changes in the surroundings.

The gray and black energy are very dangerous, I can but it's too spread out for me to do anything, after a while, I felt these energies being pulled in the direction where Hela and the Priest of Goddess Kalistos should be.

I saw on the horizon a tornado forming going to the clouds and sucking all that energy and Aura at high speed forming energy flows in the sky, it was very beautiful, but I realized that I could die if I was hit by that kind of energy.

I waited longer than I imagined before, when the tornado finally disappeared over the horizon I noticed that the miasma became lighter and the element of darkness was more predominant, I also realized that it was easier to feel the malice contained in this miasma.

"Our turn, are you ready?" (I)

"Yes, hold my hand." (Nix)

I and Nix were in the middle of the magic circle, but this magic wasn't useful to Nix, it was just to keep my mana long enough to do this.

We sit across from each other, then we hold hands intertwining our fingers, Nix's eyes completely change color as his voice turns emotionless like a machine.

"[ Does Dungeon Master Zenos wish to assimilate the surroundings into the Shadow Dungeon? ]" (Nix)

"Yea." (I)

"[ Select an area involved with your Aura that is attuned to your power to begin the assimilation process. ]" (Nix)

I felt like Nix was connecting with me this time, her Aura connects with mine, but before I start I activate the mana transfer spell, the magic circle absorbs all the energy crystals I brought and is several meters above from my head as a sphere of mana grows in the center of the magic circle.

Soon the edges of the magic circle became rings around the mana sphere swirling above me, so the mana began to flow into me.

At that moment I hold Nix's hands tightly as I feel the pressure of all that mana passing through my body.

With the preparations completed, I begin to expand my Aura in all directions as my dark element mana harmonizes with the miasma wherever it passes.

I felt that this time the harmonizing process was much easier than when the Cradles of Fairies and Spirits was created, maybe it's from the experience of being the 3rd time doing it, maybe it's from having an Aura with the power of harmony and having the title of the trinity of nature.

I was getting to harmonize at the same time that my Aura passed quickly, it was a quick process.
