Chapter 513 - What happened?

At the same time atop an orange-brown plateau, the air suddenly twisted, contorting unnaturally. A moment later a singular dark dot appeared in mid-air, just at about an arm's length above the dust-covered surface. 

Like the newborn child that was just presented with the bountiful heavenly mammaries, the nectar of its mother's teet, it began to greedily suck in the empty air further twisting, twirling the air around the mysterious singularity.

For a while, the small hole did nothing but continue sucking in the air, and -with it-, the waning, sparsely spread out essences as well. It kept on absorbing the magical particles of this deserted plane, merging it with itself, gradually gaining more and more power as time went on.

A bit of time passed like this before the little black dot changed its strategy and began to expand. Its mysterious ebony mass began to take up more and more of the surrounding territory, growing in size with each passing second.
