Our surroundings weren't very peaceful, to be honest. Everything was trembling as if it was the end of the world.
Fárbuati and I unleashed spells and techniques and fought as if our lives depends on it. Actually, it was my life that is on the line and not the big guy. Fárbuati is at least an Eternal Emperor and I just began cultivation.
The fire from the nearby volcanos flew into the air and started to attack Fárbuati. "Don't use outside force to help you control the laws!" he shouted.
"It's out of my control!" Pangu and I said. His face was unsightly as the tattoos on his body glowed and released drops of a sticky black liquid.
Those droplets went to intercept the course of the fire, where Fárbuati started using the fire as a form of attack.
"That's cheating!" we said. "You can use them but I can't? What logic is that?"
"I am using my own power to control them but you used one that is not yours."
"Well then, WIND!" Out of nowhere, a wind kicked in and started forming a tornado around the arena.
"WATER!" The ground of the arena started sprouting water drops until they started forming a small pond inside the tornado.
"ICE!" Some of the water and the wind fused and produced a two meter long ice blades. They disappeared into the wind and started forming sneak attacks on Fárbuati. While the water still rose, the tornado started shrinking.
"This is my own manifestation of the laws. Welcome to my Elemental Prison!"
"Creating techniques within a fight, now that's talent," thought Richard who was watching from his mansion. "From all the techniques he created, that idol seems the most powerful, with this Elemental Prison ranking second. The Bloodbath technique is also good, but when compared to those two, it pales in comparison. Even I needed years to make a special move, yet this kid manages to do them on the field of battle. This kind of talent is not taken from me, it is from him entirely.
"When the tornado shrinks completely, end the fight," he transmitted to Fárbuati.
But just when the tornado was about to completely shrink, the Divine Eye appeared on our forehead. It heated up greatly and sent a beam of yellow light to Fárbuati.
Richard suddenly appeared in front of the big guy and blocked the beam, which was sucked into his hand to form a small globe.
The prison disappeared with a wave of his had and I returned to my normal state.
"Why does it suddenly appear? I didn't order it to attack," I said when I approached the two.
"It doesn't need your command," said Fárbuati grimly.
"True," said Richard. "What triggers it is the Pangu transformation. Once it senses you are about to return to your normal state, it would appear to prevent you from doing that."
"We need to have a serious conversation about this Divine Eye and its side effects. And with you, Pangu, about doing such a stupid spell."
"Well, lad, I didn't know that I would die before I complete it..." said Pangu.
"Now is not the time," said Richard as he pushed that globe of light into my forehead. "Focus on finishing your quest. The next stop is Helheim. Fárbuati won't be there in the next two tests.
"In Helheim you will face the first raven of death. If you can stand in front of him for ten seconds, you would have passed the test and get transferred to the last.
"You will attempt to get the Heart of The Sea. As for how you find it, it will depend on you. Now go!"
He waved his had and I disappeared.
