While he had entered the spatial rip, his link was cut off from Brigitte. This caused her to get extremely worried and she had instantly teleported to his former location. She searched around for any traces of his mana residue but to no avail, returning back to the castle she had deployed the Dragon Lords to search for him but they also had reached a dead end, after a year and a half they gave up, deciding that the individual had died.

As he entered into the spatial rip, all he felt was a pulling sensation, tearing him from the fragment realm, to another plane of existence. A bright white light enveloped his eyes as he moved through the fabric of the universe. The blinding light dimmed, revealing the view before him.

Debris floated on this world, gravity was almost nonexistent. The black ooze littered the entire surface of the planet and absolutely no signs of life existed. The previous state of the planet was devoured by the overgrown black goo and mist. Mana existed in abnormally small quantities, and dark essence was dominant, other types of essences were extinct on this plane

He felt himself growing weaker as he slowly pressed forward, he felt the vitality in his body permeating out. His mind growing hazy by the minute, the landscape was mostly flat, with cracks strewn all over the surface of this world. Ashes hovered in the air, obscuring some of his vision.

Looking at his pocket watch, he noticed it had become stationary, displaying that time was completely disproportionate here.

As he exited the ash covered area, he felt all alone on this desolate planet. Finally a huge ocean of the black ooze appeared in front of him. What he saw was terrifying, a surreal figure which was curled up, hovered at the center of the ocean. Seeming to sense his presence the figure unraveled itself, the tremendous presence it displayed was horrendous. The figure floated towards him revealing more of its features, its body was mushed up of parts retrieved from different kind of species.

A maroon colored crystal thrummed at the center of the figures chest producing a droning noise. Lucifer`s senses were going numb from just the oppressing feeling, however, his body was unable to move in its presence even though the being was a kilo meter away.

As it yellow pupils looked at his right hand, it disintegrated.

“Fuck!” the minute pain had roused Lucifer's hazy senses

Then his left hand disintegrated, his right leg followed and he toppled to the gooey surface. The being stopped hovering, landing on the black ocean, it walked slowly towards him, not sinking into it. Its mutilated feet had finger nails and various other writhing substances protruded from them Raising it disfigured hands, it gestured with its extended finger.

Lucifer`s eyeball tore from his socket, shooting towards its outstretched hand.

Its face was inhumane, its mouth extended to its ears, revealing a hideous set of teeth. It jaw clamped open, revealing its long stinger like tongue. Plopping the eyeball in its mouth it relished the exquisite juices within, the sound of his eyeball get crunched resounded into his ears

His body was regenerating too sluggishly due to an unknown cause. It pupils grew sinister as it saw him regenerate, this time Lucifer’s jaw was split in two in the center by a force revealing his bloodied tongue. The force again ripped It out, floating once again towards the being.

Lucifer was in a state of utter powerlessness. He was unable to manifest the dark essence in the atmosphere; the being was not permitting him too. As he was put through all this torture, Lucifer didn`t scream even once, which intrigued the being even further. It then went for the more sensitive organs, his rib cage split open, exploiting his intestines.

The being of a sudden, materialized before him, it extended a deformed finger nail, which sliced through his liver, blood dripped onto the ooze which ravenously absorbed it. The torment continued for a time but Lucifer gazing was unyielding even through all the pain. His blood vessels were rupturing constantly within his body.

Getting bored of its toy it left his damaged body, returning back to its former location it curled up once again over the ocean.

Lucifer slowly got up; his body was astonishingly regenerating even the most damaged organs. His vitality had been decreased by a lot; he was getting increasingly weaker on this plane.

“Want some help?” Tetras bloodthirsty voice resounded in his mind

Lucifer this time willingly gave up his consciousness, Tetra taking over his body released his colossal Aura. The being quickly unraveled itself, this time its pupils contracted at the danger. The Black ooze bubbled to form an enormous Hundreds of enormous hydras, which targeted tetra instantly after they were formed.

Tetra hovered over the ocean facing the hydras and the being, behind him an avatar started to manifest from his chaotic energy. A figure binded with chains appeared above Lucifer`s body, revealing only one of its scarlet red eyes. Tetra raised one of his hands, which the manifested avatar imitated.

“Dimension Splitter” Tetra`s voiced

Thousands of transparent blades diced through the hydras, cutting even through the fabric of the plane, leaving behind spatial rips which extended more than a dozen kilometers. Tetra opened his mouth and a strange suction force caused the ocean full of black ooze to flow into his mouth, he was ingesting the corruption. Within a breath, the ocean of goo was emptied.

The ooze was assaulting his blood vessels trying to invade them, Lucifer watching the battle, didn`t know what was going to happen to him.

The being gathered an enormous amount of dark essence creating a nine headed dragon in front of it, large amounts of essence were gathering into their mouths preparing for a devastating attack. One of the chains, unraveled from the avatar, letting its pale white hands loose. However, this time tetra didn`t do anything and the avatar moved on its own.

The nine headed dragon had prepared gathering the required essence, it unleashed it as a pulse. The attack degenerated anything it passed through. Just before the pulse reached tetra the Avatar appeared before him.

“Planetary Devastation” it ice cold voice enclosed the entire planet

The planet exploded along with the being, before the blast could reach him, Tetra had teleported back a distance overlooking the scene. As Lucifer viewed it from the mind palace, the planet was encased in blue flames, and had ruptured in many pieces.

However, Lucifer`s body was shredded and his skin had long gashes exposing his bones and muscle, due to the energy released.
