Mysterious Being

What if I can use two hands to summon multiple icicles? Wouldn't that be extremely powerful? I don't know if it will work but I have to try or else I will never know.

I do the same thing as before but faster and got two icicles. I try to gather more mana to summon a few more and it worked.

"That was easy?" How is this so easy?" Isn't it impossible according to the information I got? You can only summon two types on each hand if you just began to use magic. Later on, you could use more and more but that was when you had the experience but here I am having 5 icicles floating on each of my hands.

I looked at an object and fired the first five.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH

They all went towards the object at high speed and exploded when getting hit.

I continued by sending the other five to another object which had the same fate as the first one.

I wasn't exhausted at all and just continued until I couldn't produce more of these icicles on my hand.

....

Huff huff huff

After shooting so many icicles out of my hand I finally shot 1000 of them!

Alright, let's continue this. I can feel myself getting stronger and having more control of these icicles. I can now choose to let them pierce through or let them explode the moment they touch the object instead of the icicles doing it themselves.

I was launching each of them in a row. That was first really difficult as I had to be quick and precise. But now I could easily do it.

I saw 5 objects near each other and quickly launched the icicles towards them.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH

They all exploded into nothingness in only a second. There was not really an explosion where the pieces of the objects flew away or anything. Once it explodes on the object then it will just destroy the whole thing itself. Even all the pieces that should have been flying in the void right now disappeared.

Now that I have tested the element ice, I have two more left which were poison and air. Poison could be used to obviously poison your enemies. This element is a bit special as you could mix your blood with poison and acquire immunity towards it or just use your own blood to poison someone.

Obviously, this counts for every element.

Poison is mostly used as defense since you could leak out a huge form of gas from your body which will render the enemies to go any further since it's poisonous and would certainly kill them in seconds. The gas itself is full of poison so the moment you go inside it you die. The user who leaks this gas out is always immune to it.

If someone else also has the poison element and is immune to it to a certain extent then that person could survive just a bit longer. If the gas is stronger than the immunity you have for poison then you have no chance. But if your immunity to it is stronger than the gas itself then you have enough time to walk through it and take a little bit of damage. They still take damage as it's still poisonous and nobody is fully immune to it.

The air element is obviously where you could control the air that is always in the and be extremely fast by adding it to your own body. For example to your legs or your hands. This could also be used to fly but this can't be done by beginners since they don't have a certain amount of control over it. Later on, they would be able to fly and do things others can't do.

I am already capable of flying because of the mana that lingers everywhere I go, does that mean that I have no use of the element air?

...

I realized something.

Can't I use the element air to get faster to that mysterious being I saw earlier? I should be able to do it right? I could easily do things beginners couldn't so I really hope this is also the case with the air element or else this will continue forever which I don't want.

Since every part of my body is full of mana I let it out and let it encircle myself.

I also noticed that the moment it left my body from within and came outside and attached itself to me I felt lighter.

I wanted to try if this actually works so I tried flying somewhere.

WHOOSH

'What?!'

I was faster than I had ever been! At least 100 times more than before. Haha! I'm overjoyed that I can now fly faster. But now the question is whether it is fast enough to get there quickly.

I should probably test it out or I will never know.

I couldn't get control of my body because it was moving so fast, so I started training with my new speed and eventually got control of it and was ready to go in the direction of the rainbow. It could also be seen.

WHOOSH

I began flying towards the rainbow.

It was certainly faster.

This could also help me run away or charge at something so I was glad I got this element from the slime. I inwardly thanked the little guy and moved on.

Wait since I don't know what that being is and what his purpose is by staying there, shouldn't I be cautious?

But he is the only living being I saw ever since I got here. I want to at least ask something and see if he is reasonable. If he is not then... I'll have to run. I doubt I am stronger than him since he also looks terrifying with that weird appearance.

---

After a long amount of time, I am finally really close to the rainbow. It was literally before me. It was also extremely huge since it looked really tiny when I was looking at it while flying. I was silently admiring the huge rainbow.

Well not that it matters.

There was also a floor made of sweets. I tried to stand on it and it was pretty hard. I just hope I don't die again or get trapped by walking on this weird ground.

I made no noise while walking because I didn't want to be noticed by him if I walked too carelessly. I also didn't have any shoes on, so I began walking lightly with bare feet. It should not be too slow or too fast.

There were also large black structures that appeared to be haunted houses. It was also extremely large, covering the bottom of the rainbow. There were three houses ahead of me, with a path leading behind the left and right houses. I chose to go behind it because the mysterious being should be nearby. I recall seeing the thing sitting on something and staring ahead of him with those lifeless eyes.

I began walking quickly to the right, hoping to encounter only that thing and not other strange creatures. I am someone who knows almost nothing about this void other than that it has mana like a fantasy world that I once read about on Earth.

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty calm for someone about to encounter something unknown and mysterious. When you think about it, this is also quite creepy. I'm somewhere in the unknown, and I'm exploring it right now.

How scary is that?

I quickly shrugged the thought away, not wanting to be scared and hesitant to meet this mysterious being.

...

It took me so long to get to the right side of the haunted house. I tried to look ahead of me but couldn't find anything. I was about to take a step forward when my hand brushed up against something. Something yellow began sucking my hand inside the moment my hand touched it. As it continued to suck my entire arm in, it began to glow.

I was initially perplexed, but now that I think about it, perhaps it's a barrier or something? I'm not sure if this barrier should be something that draws people in, but I should definitely see if it leads me to that being.

I just let myself be sucked in while closing my eyes for fear of damaging them. When I was completely sucked in, this yellow thing was also touching my entire body. It was uncomfortable, but I just braced myself for it because I knew I had to meet him.

I didn't know when I'd get out of this yellow slime-like thing because I had my eyes closed, so I'd open them when the discomfort subsided. As soon as I didn't feel it, I opened my eyes and saw a massive throne in front of me.

It was completely red and topped with two skulls. There were strange mouths on it again, just like the portal I saw when I was still flying.

Why do these things have mouths in the first place? This is both creepy and repulsive.

I ignored it and took a look around. The portal I saw was to my left. It appeared to be in use because it was glowing and moving from within. Instead of being yellow like the previous barrier, this one was purple. This should confirm that the portal and the barrier are linked in some way. But I'm not entirely certain.

I noticed the mysterious being as soon as I looked to my right. It had the same frightening appearance. It is extremely tall, completely black, and wears a bloodred crown on its head. Its completely white eyes terrified me as if it was peering inside my body. It was as if there was nothing I could hide from it.

I attempted to speak, but the thing began to move. I was about to use my magic when it began to transform into something else. It was shrinking in size, and the color of its skin was changing to white.

...

'Wait, what the fuck just happened?!'

A mysterious and terrifying monster has just transformed into something familiar to me.

A person!

It now had long black hair, blood-red eyes, and pale skin. It was also dressed in a simple black kimono. It sat on the massive crown and sighed as it looked at me.

"It's nearly impossible to get into here without my permission, so how did a human get in? Aren't humans the weakest of all life forms? I must say, it's impressive." It rose to its feet and looked down at me.

In fact, it was still quite tall. It measured more than 200 cm.

"How do you want to die?" I'll let you choose because you have the ability to enter here when no other being can," it said, scratching its head.

"Huh?" Because I was perplexed, I just blurted it out.

"What?" It said this with a puzzled look on its face as if it didn't understand why I was perplexed.

So, what am I supposed to do now? This thing is after me! It even stated that I had the option of choosing how I wanted to die.

That's even more heinous! No, I have to persuade this thing to let me live. I was brought here against my will, so why should I die again? This is so unjust!

"I was dragged here against my will! I once died and when I opened my eyes I was floating in this infinite void that surrounded me with darkness." I started sweating because I was afraid I had said something I shouldn't have to someone as terrifying as him.

Just take a look at his aura. It's absolutely terrifying!

It's black and red all over. What a creepy creature!

"Hmm. So you're saying you were dragged here?"

"Y-Yes." I quickly responded, fearing that if I didn't, I'd die.

"Oh, I see. That clarifies everything."

When he clapped his hands, the portal began to move as if it were alive, and something emerged from it.

It was the same butler I had seen while flying. We suddenly locked eyes, and as soon as we did, he charged at me so quickly that I couldn't see what was going on. It was also clutching something dark.

I caught a glimpse of it and noticed he was holding a black kimono. It was held out as if the butler wanted to present me with this kimono.

WHOOSH

He messed with my body and then abruptly stopped when he touched me. When I looked down, I realized I was wearing the same kimono as the mysterious being.

"Huh?" I was so perplexed by what was going on that I wanted to flee and never return. This is so weird!

"Haha! I will do everything in my power to train you because you are my first student. Be thankful that someone like me thought of training a weakling!"

It burst out laughing, and the entire plateau shook as if his laughs were filled with tremendous power.

'Huh? Student? Training? Grateful? What exactly is this thing saying? Huh?'

....

"HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH?!"
