Bab 218: Death

Thousands of memories turned into a single drop. It was a concentration of the millions of lives Evan had cut short. It was a concentration of death's power, its purest expression.

Evan touched the gray drop, and at that moment, space began to collapse. The darkness was turning into emptiness. In a few seconds, there should have been nothing left of Evan's consciousness.

<This drop... strange, but why don't I feel any fear of death? I don't feel anything at all... is it possible because death is emptiness? Death is nothing...>.

Evan thought, and suddenly the gray drop was gone. It carried death behind it and was aimed at the only thing still alive in Evan's mind.

Whooosh.

The gray drop appeared in Evan's Nirvana and rushed toward the crimson sphere. "Warp" was the last barrier separating the mage from ultimate death. In all other cases, any other mage would have died, but Evan was still alive because his Nirvana and Warp were still intact.
