Encrypted Void

Nano's Past (Part 5)

The ground shook and the blizzard which initially raged endlessly was momentarily stopped by a large explosion which made all the snow in their area melt and the steam disappeared into the air revealing the Overseer who was standing gripping Veil's neck who was seriously injured but was quickly healed by the white mana.

"Ugh.." Veil tried to release Overseer's grip from his neck but failed, because his grip was strengthened by mana.

"You're this strong huh, I don't even think you can survive this far. It's time to show what mana is that." Overseer stretched his other hand towards Veil's head to see his memories.

"Heh... you're dead." Veil grinned.

Just before the Overseer managed to see Veil's memories, his eyes widened as he saw a mana point being compressed very tightly right in front of his face.

"YOU CRAZY-" Overseer shouted with a panicked face before releasing his grip.

The mana point glowed and exploded so powerfully that all the soil and rocks shattered into dust in the air, Overseer frantically jumped back and stretched his arms forward.

"ENCRYP- UGH?!" Overseer saw the explosion shooting light in all directions and piercing his right stomach and left shoulder.

Overseer quickly focused all his mana forward to create a multi-layered shield, but the light grew brighter and devoured all the surrounding trees creating a white pillar of light that dazzled the entire area through the snowstorm.

*******************************
The light penetrated the storm that hit Arcane Village and was seen by all the residents of the village.

"What is that light?!" One of the residents said while pointing towards the light.

"The light is getting brighter!" An adventurer who was getting ready closed his eyes from the light.

The light continued to devour the blizzard around it and penetrated the Arcane tree, making the mana flowing in the tree flow out and making all the plants around it absorb the mana, but because there was too much mana, the plants couldn't hold more mana and withered. The Arcane Tree slowly fell towards the Arcane Village as the mana flowed out.

"RUN!" The villagers in Arcane Village screamed in panic while running away from the Arcane Tree.

...

"NANO! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Greia ran towards his house which had now been crushed by one of the large branches from the Arcane Tree.

"NANO!" Greia looks for Nano in the ruins of his house but cannot find her.

"NANO! PLEASE ANSWER ME!" Greia shouted around the village and looked for Nano but didn't find her.

"GREIA! RUN QUICKLY!" Nano flew away from the Arcane Tree and got closer to Greia.

"?! NANO! HURRY UP HERE" Greia then hugged Nano tightly and ran towards the blizzard.

All the villagers ran in panic away from the Arcane Tree which was slowly collapsing and falling towards them, but because the tree was very large and their running speed was only average, they couldn't get out of range where the Arcane Tree would fall.

Overseer slowly healed himself while walking towards Arcane Village.

"Tch, this is different from what I planned. Damn Veil, I have to take matters into my own hands to complete my plan." Overseer created a mana sword before then jumping towards the Arcane Tree which was slowly falling.

Overseer reached the tree trunk of the Arcane Tree where he was now at an altitude of 10km.

"Hmm... The Arcane Tree is tall, but I have to find that two." Overseer looked around and saw many villagers running in fear and he just ignored it, until he grinned seeing at Greia and Nano.
