Chapter 2286: Chaos Inside
"The elders always said that if you can destroy it then do it. You can just fix it after since you can do it." Adrian stated as he snapped his fingers.
At the snap of Adrian' finger, the small star that was hovering on top of him suddenly exploded. A powerful vortex suddenly manifested and started to devour the mist. The entire area around him that is filled with fog is being devoured by the black hole. Even the water beneath his ankles is getting devoured into it which basically cleaning the area.
"Stop that you demon brat!" A loud and old frog beastkin suddenly shouted as he ran towards Adrian.
The loud and old frog beastkin was shouting at Adrian to stop the black hole from absorbing the fog. He also saw Elder Ribbit following from behind the old frog beastkin, but he did not stop. Adrian just needed to wait the ten seconds for the black hole to stop and he also noticed that his perception was slowly returning with the amount of fog reduced.
"Are you deaf? I never heard that there are demons that are born deaf." The old frog beastkin stated as he performed a tantrum in front of Adrian.
"I am not deaf. I just did not care to stop it since it will only be active with ten seconds." Adrian stated as he suddenly compressed the black hole after it was done sucking all of the things around him.
This is something that he learned to do when he got more mastery over Spatial Magic. He can release the things inside the black hole later as long as he did not absorb any living beings. He can only keep all the things trapped inside the black hole for half an hour though before it gets released automatically.
"This disrespectful brat! Do you know that you weakened the Spirit Formation that a lot of Gurus prepared!? You need to release back what you absorbed into that black hole." The old frog beastkin stated.
"Who is this, Elder Ribbit?" Adrian asked the terrified and tired looking Elder Ribbit.
"He is the Guru that we need to visit, Mediator Equinox. I am sorry about his temper as he is a bit stressed during this time." Elder Ribbit stated.
"Oh! It is a pleasure to meet you, Guru Polliwog. I can return the fog that was absorbed later so you do not need to worry. I only thinned the strange energy here which is similar to Primordial Energy. Do not worry as I will not absorb it even if it is close to what I have in my body." Adrian stated.
"This kid. If an elder tells you, do it then you should do it. Let us see what you can do when I dive into your soul! Huh!" Guru Polliwog stated as he suddenly created a circle using both his hands and looked at Adrian through it.
[Another spiritual entity has entered the depths of your soul.]
Guru Polliwog suddenly entered Adrian's soul depths to teach him a lesson. He does not really want to physically hurt the kid as he just wants to reprimand him. He will just teach him a lesson inside of the depths of the soul.
"This is how I train the younger ones that show talents as a Guru." Guru Polliwog stated as he suddenly looked behind him in terror.
"Hello." A being of indescribable horror looked directly towards Guru Polliwog.
"How is that possible?!" Guru Polliwog stated as he suddenly passed out.
The being that Guru Polliwog saw was not something that represented Adrian's form in the real world. The being he saw looked like a gigantic being made of cosmic dust that is hugging the two distinct trees deep inside of Adrian's soul. This gigantic being made of cosmic dust also did not have a permanent face as it changed from time to time as it had numerous faces.
[You have repelled the spiritual entity that has entered the depths of your soul.]
"What is that?! What are you?" Guru Polliwog stated before he passed out.
"Uhm… what just happened?" Adrian asked as he looked towards Elder Ribbit.
"I do not know anymore. I am also at my limit." Elder Ribbit stated as he also passed out.
"I guess I should go to the territory then. I will release the fog when I can see the faint structure there. Sirius, carry the both of them." Adrian stated as he called upon Sirius from his shadow.
Adrian slowly released the things absorbed in the black hole as he walked towards the structure he saw when his perception returned. A group of Gurus gathered towards him when they saw Guru Polliwog and Elder Ribbit passed out. He made sure to explain what happened and some of the Gurus even apologized to Adrian because of Guru Polliwog's childish actions.
"Why are all the old people in this game so eccentric?" Adrian thought as he was led to a small pavilion while he waited for the two beings that he brought to wake up.

"You terrified that being." The Noblesse Inner Demon Equinox stated as he came out of the tree inside of Adrian's soul depths.
"It suddenly entered into my territory. I will protect my own soul while the other me catches up." The gigantic being of cosmic gas stated as it suddenly compressed itself to create a copy of the current Adrian but with wings and horns that glow like galaxies.
"I should have been the one that greeted the visitor as it is my duty. You terrify me even if you are the master himself just in another form. The true soul that has yet to be unleashed." The Noblesse Inner Demon Equinox stated. Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire
"Just make sure he starts your trial. I cannot wait to be unleashed as those smaller fragments can barely sustain my hunger." The Chaos Equinox stated as it vanished.

Adrian waited patiently at the place he was escorted to. This place was akin to a monastery but more in tune with nature as he could feel that this place is a spot teeming with an energy akin to primordial energy. It is a place that is likely what each realm calls Eden which is difficult to find or even stumble upon.
"To think that they found the Wilde's Eden and used it to cultivate talents. Other beings would usually plunder all the energy here and then get hit with the consequences later. Still, where is the Guardian of the Wilde's Eden? A powerful guardian should be present to even stop other beings from living here.
Any damage to a realm's Eden will result in the realm slowly decaying. It would not make sense for that old frogman to panic when I suddenly used a black hole to devour the fog. I returned it though but there is still this prickly feeling of being watched as soon as I entered." Adrian muttered.
Adrian was given some snacks that are steamed in a taro leaf with a tea that has a fragrant aroma of wood. It was incredibly calming and relaxing as he waited for the two beings to wake up. He was even seen cozily lying on Sirius which actually made some of the Gurus and Guru Candidates to not want to talk to him.
"That is a Fenrir, right?" One of the Guru Candidates whispered.
"Maybe it is just a wolf king?" Another Guru Candidate passing by replied.
"Do you not feel that tyrannical energy that could swallow the world itself? I am actually shocked someone managed to tame one. It is even incredibly docile as it is just letting those small child Guru Candidates to ruffle its fur." The other Guru Candidate stated.
"I am actually quite jealous. I want to check as well if it is fluffy." The first Guru candidate that initiated the chatter stated.
The Guru candidates suddenly scattered as they suddenly heard the familiar footsteps that terrify them. Even the small child Guru candidates that were playing with Sirius ran away when they heard it. This imposing and mighty figure then stood in front of Adrian as the former waited for the latter to open his eyes.
"Ehem." Guru Polliwog stated as he looked calm but imposing.
"It seems that the Guru has gotten his rest. I was quite shocked when you suddenly fainted. Thankfully, I was able to find my way around the fog and reach this place. I am Equinox and I greet the great Guru Polliwog that leads this place." Adrian stated as he even added some flowery words.
"Your words are very flattering, young mediator. I also thank you for helping me as I might have been in so much stress that I fainted." Guru Polliwog stated as he looked a bit embarrassed.
"It is of no concern, Guru Polliwog. I also work with the elders of my race, and they also succumb to stress and exhaustion from time to time. I am just relieved that you are fine." Adrian stated as he smiled cheekily.
