Will of chaos-Chapter 1784: Cap 1782: Laughable attempt
It didn't take long to reach the battle site, it was mere seconds and our presence had already been felt from afar, suddenly the ship stopped on the way trapped in invisible webs, invisible to the eyes of others.
"(Webs made from the flow of magic itself.)" (me)
In my eyes, the eyes of someone strongly connected to natural powers and possessing the power of Chaos, I could see the webs serving as a conduit for magical power to the point of disrupting the power of the Law associated with magic in the surroundings.
"You know, I didn't expect this bad luck to be so great to work here." (me)
"< Anomalous Magic: Arcane Spider Nest >"
Suddenly more strands of webs appeared, the space became more confusing and the Ascendant Laws were becoming more distorted, it was as if this large open space amidst the stars became a closed and claustrophobic cave.
"A truly interesting power, a truly enviable magical control." (me)
There were eight of them, according to the report, looking around it didn't take long for two to show themselves, the Magic Weavers were strange creatures their bodies weren't exactly spiders, they were like a centaur.
The lower parts of their bodies looked like a spider, their large rear had beautiful crystals and a long crystal tail similar to a scorpion, where the head should be revealed a humanoid upper body, they had dark skin and blue magical circles drawn on their body, their eyes had no eyelids and there were no irises either, they were dark red orbs.
Behind their backs a second pair of ethereal arms made of pure magical power, they have no hair, nose or ears.
"Really interesting..." (me)
I could feel the magical power emanating from their bodies, it was so concentrated that it almost materialized as energy rays running across the surface of their bodies, their Auras are basically pure magical power, they are creatures truly specialized in magic.
"Ascendant, you shouldn't have come here, go back and we'll leave..."
"< Law of Eclipse: Field of Penumbra >" (me)
Suddenly a dark mist emanates from my wings while a Rune of Law forms on the back of my right hand, the power pulsing within me tries to break free, my Divinity wanting to claim the space being taken as mine.
"(It seems that Field-type techniques have some bad reactions... they activate certain basic instincts...)" (me)
"What did you do!!!???"
"I...? I didn't do anything wrong... I just removed all magic from this area so we could have a calmer conversation."
(me)
"< Eclipse Law: Shadow Jailers >" (me)
"< Eclipse Law: Seal of the Cursed Sun >" (me)
"Damn you!!!!"
The thing is, there were no shadows in space, that would only be true if I didn't exist, my Shadow is a portal in itself to both my Divine Realm and Tarzor, it doesn't matter if I'm in a place devoid of light or completely illuminated, the shadow is always there.
"What are those things!!!"
"Run, get away FAST!!"
Shadows extend from me in all directions, stretching and widening while taking ghostly forms, there were dozens of them that cling to the sharp legs and scorpion tails of the Magic Weavers, they try to resist, their lower bodies are quite resistant and strong, but clearly their pure focus on magic left them lacking in other areas without knowing how to make proper use of their bodies.
"I can't let go!"
"Help me!!"
Each of them was trapped by the dark entities that were immune to physical damage due to being ethereal, the downside of the Magic Weavers' Auras being so purely magical was their inability to even use their Auras right now, all of them were dragged into the shadows, that included one who was hiding in space, I felt his presence because of the killing intent he emitted towards me.
"I'll go...!"
When everyone was dragged into the shadows, they returned to me sinking into my shadow once more, I still don't know any original techniques with the powers of the Ascendant Law, but adapting my techniques to the Ascendant Law seems to be a fairly easy path.
The Ascendant Law is purely about comprehension and understanding, as someone who already knows these techniques I can simply adapt everything with relative ease, even so I think I still need a technique that makes more comprehensive use of the power of the Eclipse Law and not just rely on recycled techniques.
"Sir, we've already finished collecting the corpses."
(Boris)
"..." (me)
I glance at Boris and then at the golems behind him carrying the Ascendant Corpses as well as parts of the corpses.
"Thank you for rescuing us..." (Ascendant A?)
"Thank you for saving us, we were ambushed on the way, we didn't expect to lose so many because of an ambush!" (Ascendant B?)
"Don't worry, we couldn't let enemies inside our territory." (me)

"Boris, take the bodies inside, seal them if your Laws are still in their bodies." (me)
"Yes, Commander... I bid you farewell."
(Boris)
Boris walks past with the Golems, my eyes wander over them before focusing on the two in front of me, their bodies were damaged, but only one of them was wearing armor that was also damaged, their bodies were full of bruises and open wounds, one of the wings of one of them was even broken and hanging down trembling.
"You know, they didn't seem interested in me, even though I'm also an Ascendant, they were very focused on you guys." (me)
"We were in charge of a negotiation, they appeared out of nowhere after the negotiation, fortunately the merchandise was taken away because it was of importance." (Ascendant A?)
"I see..." (me)
"How about I accompany you guys...?" (me)
"We appreciate your help." (Ascendant B?)
"My name is Bond..." (me)
I extend my hand as I introduce myself with a smile on my face, the armored Ascendant also extends his hand as he smiles slightly before shaking my hand.
"I'm... ghuhh!!" (Ascendant B?)
"Sorry, that was the wrong hand... hahaha..." (me)
"< Spear of Greed: Life Steal >" (Ascendant A?)
"Sorry... but it's already too late for you guys." (me)
"Aaahhhh!!!" (Ascendant A?)
The armored Ascendant who shook my hand was met with the Law Rune in my hand passing into his hand, a purple sun symbol lighting up taking the place of the Rune in his hand as his arm was crushed by itself, his bubbling blood lighting up and soaking purple as it flowed from his wounds.
The other Ascendant reacts late because he was caught off guard by my attack, a spear emerges from inside his mouth which opens abnormally, the spear flies directly at me, but I throw the thing that looks like an Ascendant in front of me, his body still being slowly crushed from the inside out did not allow him to resist, the spear pierced the side of his body passing through his shoulder on the other side before a flow of vital energy was sucked into the spear which sent it to the other individual posing as an Ascendant.
But it was too late, the spectral shadows appeared behind him once more, but this time they did not hold the enemy, their dark arms pierced his chest, wings, neck and head before he realized what had happened, his final scream was loud and short as was his life that faded away.
The spear that was still absorbing the Armored man's Vitality no longer had anywhere to send that Vitality, but it continued absorbing and storing it until he died, I just watched as he was not even able to scream with his body being crushed, burned and now sucked dry of the rest of his life.
"How did you know?" (Mother)
"The wings had no Law, their Auras were not perfect either, but they connect with the environment." (Me)
"I found several suspicious things, but lastly I noticed that both of them had a mark on their necks, when I noticed that I instinctively knew that it belonged to an entity, it carries traces of what must be the Concept, I just don't know which one."
(me)
"Now their Souls... were pulled at the exact moment of their deaths, that mark on their necks shone at that exact moment, so their Souls must have been claimed." (me)
"It was a laughable attempt to deceive me, it was almost hard to contain my urge to laugh at them." (me)
Everything about them was suspicious, the bodies around them, they all had the same mark on their necks, there was also something wrong with their Aura after they died, there was no sign of the power of the Law, that was clear to me, their Auras were slowly changing and no longer resembling that of the Ascendants, whatever technique they used, after death it was disappearing.
Those two would probably try to kill us, just as I attacked them unawares, they would probably try to attack as soon as they entered the ship, perhaps wanting to confirm if there was anyone else inside.
The murderous intent deep in their eyes could not be completely hidden, not from me who has walked amidst life and death dangers since birth.
After seeing these Ascended forces, my mind wandered to the Magic Weavers again, the way they behaved from the beginning was strange, and cautious.
"They also didn't attack or try to do anything before I interfered with them." (Me)
"Are you talking about those creatures from before?" (Mother)
"Yes." (Me)
My mother exchanges a look with me, her childish appearance was very strange to see, but even so her eyes seemed to see right through me as I hear her voice in my head.
"(You didn't kill them, did you?)" (Mother)
"(Of course not.)" (Me)
I smile at her as I answer, I admit that my intentions in arresting them weren't exactly good, but now I find myself wondering if they are innocent and if I should talk to them before I do something I'll regret.
I sigh
"Let's go back, there's still a mission to accomplish..." (Me)
