Setting Smoke

||Onuphrius||

When he finally saw a carrier of his lost power, his aura immediately started shining pure white. That kind of white you would see in his old universe. Monster shot out from the ground and started flying toward the target. Everyone within a range of fifty steps suddenly disappeared when he jumped. Everyone that got within ten meters after he took off also immediately vanished. Different thing happened with the orange fhuywa. Fhuywa became a little surprised that its prey suddenly disappeared. They all were standing there before lining up to fight a monster but they didn't even flinch when they saw their allies getting eaten by a giant fhuywa. So it could charge itself immensely. Somehow Urgod did not have any control over this member, but he didn't make much out of it. It was only one nautic troop that went on a rampage. If it was the first time happening he would be very concerned. First time it happened with Seko when he didn't use power to damage monster on landing. There was also around three people that suppressed a god's command and didn't participate in the battlefield, it wasn't like Urgod couldn't make them obey, it was that he needed more power to make them go to the battlefield, but return of that power investment wouldn't be worth it like with the Seko who he've buffed. This one also did not obey command to line up and instead he began a genocide of his troops. Urgod was planning to let him feed and make him attack Monster when he would be worth controlling. Meteor that randomly changed track hit it and the power it contained made a loud painful scream. When Monster finally reached that fhuywa he grabbed a part of its body that was protruding from the ground and started flying up. There were no bullets and no rays shooting at them because of the monster's aura. When he flew high enough that he pulled whole 50 steps high fhuywa he threw it up, grabbed it in the middle by both hands and his body started sucking fhuywas power out like a thirsty leech until fhuywa's life force became completely dry and other worldly orange power was absorbed by the monster. He has thrown lifeless fhuywa out. Hardly landed on the floor. The pain has come back multiplied. Everything he didn't feel until now compounded into one second and made him suffer worse than in hell… He bore this pain silently. But it felt for him like months had just passed by in that particular second. Some of his memories were restored. ~Onuphrius~ he finally recalled his name. When he recalled it he planned to keep it hidden until he became a god. It was dangerous to reveal it to anyone now. His aura has subsided. Creatures did not start to attack him. Urgod saw that Onuphrius had his power hidden throughout this whole fight and somehow he seemed to become more powerful after absorbing rampaging fhuywa. It was pointless to send any more troops for their pointless death. Urgod had to make a tactical retreat. If the fight continued like that, no one would become victorious anyway. Around nine million creatures that hoarded this mountain started dispersing. Onuphrius did not chase them. He became a victor of this battle. He wasn't overjoyed by this victory either. It meant that Urgod's assessment of this situation was on point. Who knows how much more powerful he will be when he attacks again. He won that fight but he didn't win the war.

||After fight||

Suns power went back to the state before the fight and started slowly setting. ~Weird~ Onuphrius thought. I wonder where they go. From the top of the mountain he saw an endless plane, and creatures did not go down on the horizon. He saw them all when he came back on the top of the mountain. ~I think it is time to raise a helper.~ Onuphrius already more or less had an idea how to undertake this operation. He directed himself at a place he gathered moonstones with Seko before. His pace was calm, did not rush things. With only his left eye open he observed the world. ~Pretty basic.~ judged Onuphrius. Suns have already set. In the sky only moons remained. ~That's all?~ thought monster mockingly. There were no stars. Only six moons decorated the sky, and the plane was only decorated by entities far away and meteors. Onuphrius arrived not long after. Two moonstones he had brought here before, still were in their place. He also brought one bright moonstone that he picked up on the way here. He lied in between them and started meditating. He focused on his head, and Woop! Onuphrius has entered his memory palace. This time he found himself in an elevator with 15 floors. Two first floors were out of order. ~Too bad~ he thought, and pressed on fifteen. When it opened, a long symmetric gothic style hallway with windows on the right side and doors on the left. Warm light rays illuminated the floor and part of the doors. There were nine doors in total and all of the doors were numbered accordingly. He went to the first place. It was an almost completely empty room. With only a bookshelf at the opposite side of the doors and two windows beside it. Bookshelf looked pretty exquisite and it was fully filled with books. On the 8th floor of the shelf he took a heavy green book named "Book of life". Exited the room and entered an elevator. There was a gate on the back of the elevator. When he went through it, he left the memory palace and his meditation had ended. Onuphrius opened his eyes. That green book was open in front of him, floating. In fact, this was not in this reality. His mind projected it in front of him. Then he proceeded to take out one of the troops out of the extended dimension he placed them before. Waved his hand, and the book floated above piseko. It started to write itself. Piseko that appeared was very confused. He didn't need to attack Onuphrius anymore, and there was no one around except mad monster. So he didn't escape from him because of piseko's social nature even if he feared Onuphrius. From piseko's perspective. They just stood in the same place for a few days. Piseko's fear has subsided. Book has almost become fully written.

-That was a really mad fight.- Started piseko. -As expected of mad monster-

Grin could be seen on a monster's face.

-Mad monster? You refer to me? - Onuphrius wasn't really surprised by his alias.

-The God gave you that name. - Piseko justified.-Everyone knows you as such.-

Onuphrius did not respond. Book has finished writing itself. Then it flew to his hand and the monster sat down in the lotus position to study it. Book floated right above the floor in front of him. Pages were turning according to his will. He looked like he was just sitting with both eyes open and moving like he had nystagmus. A week has passed sitting like that. He finished reading. When he looked up, piseko was sitting in front of him.

-You are not as mad as I've expected.- he said.

-What did you expect then?- Onuphrius raised a brow.

-Madness-

-You did not watch closely enough.- Reassured him Onuphrius. -There is madness within sitting in the same place for more than a week.-

-Is there?- For piseko, it didn't look so weird. Whole monster looked madly at any time of the day. Onuphrius' actions didn't match piseko's image of him. After a moment of silence.

-What is your name?- Onuphrius asked.

-I don't have a name.- piseko answered.

-What is the name of your race then?-

-Piseko- He answered proudly, in a similar manner Seko introduced his race. Onuphrius could guess that piseko is somehow related to Seko by his body shape and name of the race. Book's pages started flipping, it stopped about in ⅖ of it. Then he started mumbling in light. Words from the language that built this world, words that piseko could hear, but he could not understand. Only Onuphrius and Urgod knew what they meant. ~Urgod isn't here. Too bad for him.~ Monster grinned. After he moved them slightly in the fourth dimension Urgod lost touch with them. Good thing that space was built on similar rules to his past universe. So he understood it and could move freely up to five dimensions. As long as Urgod didn't figure out more than three dimensions, or completely change laws of space around Onuphrius, he would be able to escape from Urgod in life threatening situations.
