《Records of true fiend》


 the damned void

    Deep in the infinite void where even light doesn''t exist, this place wasn''t suited for life to even be a thing and yet there was a long-bearded man drifting through this place showing no signs of life, his clothes torn beyond recognition, he was like a statue radiating ancient aura. He opened his eyes, took a look around and while sighing closed them again.


    Day after day he was drifting through the void for countless millenniums, he forgot his name, forgot who he was, the only thing left for him is his thoughts and his torn clothes to remind him from where he came.


    "This pace, it messes with people minds, it twists souls and It''s hard to say if I''m still sane, at least I don''t talk with myself." Bearded person sighed again, he wished to leave the void zone, but alas he couldn`t.


    He knew what this prison does to people, some lived here for millions of years, and majority lost all their sanity long ago. Their bodies twisted and crooked from chaotic energies going rampant, all of them have given up to the void so they can draw chaotic energies from it. Bearded statue sighed again.


    People who are sane enough fear those creatures because they need to preserve their energy that''s why they hide in places where it''s possible. Most of these people refer to those creatures as chaos demons, they stay on massive land masses drifting in the void. But occasionally you can see them drifting around like a flock of insects.


    "As far as I researched there is no way to save a person who became chaos demon it''s due to nature of becoming one because in the process one''s soul merges with an infinite void if I could somehow control this process I would stand a high chance of leaving this place" The man said to himself.


    Some people long ago tried using chaotic energies for cultivating their techniques, but one requirement for drawing voids chaotic energies is to merge your soul with the void itself and because this energy is so chaotic and pure it twists souls and bodies.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    "I never stopped researching a way to do it in a safer way that won''t mess up my mind and soul itself, I am at the tipping point in my research, but alas final breakthroughs are the hardest to make. Possessing a few weaker cultivators and make them do what I need them to do, doesn''t cut it anymore, their souls are too fragile. Maybe I should start a hunt for more powerful specimens? I''m hoping when I finish my research I will have a chance of leaving this damned place, but how long will that take me?" The man opened his eyes again, purple light glistering around his iris.


    "To my knowledge, there has never been a person who left the void by ripping a hole in the fabric of space. In my homeland I was one of the people who could rip a space like cutting a grass, but here? No way! It''s impossible to do it, space is too stable in this damned place, and those formations, they are too terrifying, I never knew that such a place like this even existed until I was exiled here."


    After some more contemplation, the man decided to search for more powerful people to further advance in his research, and yet that gave him a headache because to find them was no easy task. Powerful people tend to have very formidable hiding abilities that ensure their survival so running into them is very hard.


    Decades passed since his decision, but he still hasn''t found a suitable candidate for his research. Then few centuries passed, he was still drifting through the void never opening his eyes, he didn''t need them in this place, he used his other senses to sense his surrounding. Because of countless years being in solitude his other senses became even more sharper then they used to be, but the most dramatic change occurred in his divine sense that expanded it''s scope and made it more sensitive.


    The man once again used his divine sense pulsing out of him like waves that seemed to stretch millions upon millions of kilometer. Divine sense is formless you can''t see it with naked eye nor can you feel it with your body , only other divine senses can feel it''s presence ,but for that it requires having a soul more powerful or equal in power to feel another person''s divine sense.


    Suddenly He opened his eyes again radiating purple hue, his face full of excitement. He just found a tiny energy fluctuation, that meant, there was a cultivator nearby.

 Fairy Fogstone

    Bearded man headed straight towards the direction of energy ripples. He flew hundreds of thousands of kilometers in second. If he wished he could fly even faster, but by flying at this speed he was certain he wouldn''t make any mistakes that would lead in exposing his location. His travel went for 2 full days until he reached close enough distance to see a woman''s silhouette sitting in lotus position. She was releasing a large amount of gray fog which formed completely round ball around here sealing of outside world.


    "What a dumb woman, it¡¯s surprising that no one else showed up yet, still her aura is powerful,¡± the Bearded man slightly smiled.


    ¡°I need to seize here as soon as possible, but that fog.¡±  The man readied himself for a stealth attack, but he didn¡¯t know what that fog could do to him. In the end, he decided to draw closer to gray fog.


    ¡°Stop where you are¡± an abrupt mental shout reverberated through his mind halting him for a second. It was intoxicating and beautiful woman''s voice which could make even mortal kings kneel just by hearing it.  Ofcource cultivator hearts were strong enough to not be affected by such things. What made him halt was this familiar woman¡¯s voice.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it Fairy fogstone showing of here techniques?¡± The man sent his own voice transmission, which deeply startled here.


    ¡°Y¡­ You,  who are you? How do you know my name?¡±  her gaze focused on a bearded man who seemed so carefree and yet emitted so much baleful aura.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know who I am?¡± the man opened his eyes revealing that purple light emanating from them and then he made countless hand signs producing a bloody light that formed into a huge levitating sign that showed symbol ¡°T¡±.


    When the woman saw this sign she revealed complicated look ¡° so you are the sinner, one who broke the laws and dabbled in forbidden arts, one who slew countless cultivators for his experiments, the Ichor lord¡± She didn¡¯t fear him but still kept her guard up.


    ¡°Ah¡­ Yes, it has been so long, I forgot how those damned ¡®saints¡¯ used to call me¡± Ichor lord revealed complicated look. ¡°You should know that releasing your energy in this place is sure plan for suicide¡± He sent mentally to Fairy fogstone.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    The woman revealed complicated look, she knew that, but because of here fog technique she was unable to suppress all energy ripples. Most importantly because of a certain breakthrough, she didn¡¯t wish to disperse this fog which was one of her most powerful defensive techniques. ¡°Thank you for your advice, but I have to go¡± she sent mentally back to him.


    ¡°So soon? I wished to chat with you a bit longer, maybe we would be able to even travel together?¡± Ichor lord smiled. ¡°This place is quite dangerous¡± Ichor lord urged the woman to stay.


    ¡°I know how vicious and vile you are, if you come closer I won¡¯t show any mercy to you¡± the woman extended her slender arm producing golden colored trident that was covered in black fog-like mass and seemed to draw energy from chaos itself.  This was the weapon that gave here nickname fairy Fogstone because the core of this weapon was made of fogstone, which holds tremendous power of its own, but when refined in particular artifacts it can unleash its power in different ways.


    Ichor lord just looked at that weapon, he understood that it won¡¯t be that easy to capture her when she drew her weapon out. ¡°No need to be that unfriendly, we are from the same universe in this unknown place, as I see it, we should team up¡± Ichor lord smiled trying to put an act of friendliness.


    ¡°Team up with you? What? Didn¡¯t you hear what I said to you earlier? Just fuck off, will you, I won¡¯t spend any more of my precious time with vile things like you¡± Fairy Fogstone send a mental message with angered voice. Here hand griped Trident even tightly.


    The man before fairy Fogstone frowned, but then started to smile in a wide grin, this act of ichor lord gave her shivers.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ Child do you think that you are equal to me? That weapon of yours won¡¯t be enough to stop me¡± Ichor lord started to emit yellowish light from his arms, strange scales appeared on his body and countless runes became visible in his eyes.


    ¡°Just die for me!¡± Ichor lord moved so fast that Fairy Fogstone barely could keep up with him. He struck with his arm at that cloud of fog. Fairy Fogstone seeing that there was no chance here protective cloud could endure this blow, struck with her trident at coming palm attack.  In that instant, Fairy Fogstone was sent flying by force of collision Ichor lord revealed complicated look.


    ¡°An ability to corrode anything the fog touches?¡±  Ichor lord was surprised, this clash destroyed three of his finger. It must be understood that his arms were capable to split stars apart, his whole body was comparable to some powerful treasures in hardness so his arms were even more ridiculously powerful. ¡°I can¡¯t use close combat attacks¡± Ichor lord produced fifteen blue beads which didn¡¯t emit any aura.


    Ichor lord sent out those beads straight at the woman. When Fairy Fogstone saw this, she immediately formed thousands upon thousands hand seals in instant here weapon emitted strange hum that was heard even in the void, Fairies fogtone aura changed, she understood that if she didn¡¯t use this technique she was doomed.
