Physics The Greatest Magic

Chapter 241 - John's Dark Side



"Black hole." 

A Black Sphere was formed right in front of the boy, and he was being dragged straight towards it. Not just from the momentum of his jump, but both the suction of the blackhole and another force which was acting upon him. 

"DAM-" 

His voice was cut off was he came into contact with the blackhole and disappeared. 

After he was pulled into it, John watched as the blackhole continued to rampage, destroying the door frames, and carpet along with the ceiling and walls which were keeping the dirt and earth outside from getting in. 

Everything was being destroyed from the inside out, the lights were gone, and the sound of objects crashing and breaking resounded through the halls. 

The only source of light was coming from the Crystal where Serena was entrapped in. As John turned to the crystal to check on Serena. 

He could see the young boy standing right next to it, with his right arm raised holding on to the long dark scythe 

The boy panted heavily as he looked over at John, blood poured out of his left shoulder as it was completely missing his arm and part of his left torso. 

John watched as the boy began to laugh as darkness covered the entire left side of his body, to stop blood from flowing out of it. 

"Hahaha... HAHAHAHA!!" 

Seeing this, John began slowly walking in the direction where the two were, avoiding any incoming objects while moving further and further away from the blackhole which didn\'t seem to have any suction effect on him. 

As he took the 5th step, the man suddenly stopped laughing before saying 

"Another step and she dies." 

Hearing this, John stopped as he stared straight at the young boy. The young boy stared straight back with a grin as he started to laugh again. He placed his palm on his face before looking over In John\'s direction before asking. 

 "You... Did you really think... I\'d let out do all of this and get away with it? Breaking into my base, ruining my plans, and even take away my new toy?" 

To this, John calmly replied 

"She\'s not your toy, and if you lay a finger on her, I won\'t let you off with an easy death." 

John glared at the boy as he said his final words, but seeing this, the boy simply maintained his grin as he said. 

"If I can\'t have her... Sacred Treasure Art..." 

He swung his scythe down hitting it straight on to the Light Crystal. The Scythe wasn\'t able to pierce nor scratch the Crystal, but the crystal suddenly became distorted, before splitting into strangely sized pieces. 

The same happened to the floor beneath the crystal, it was split into strange pieces, completely unproportionate to one another in size. 

Serena who was trapped inside was also being affected by this, but before John could see anything which would happen to her, the Crystal was suddenly scraped away including the floor leaving only a small piece of the Light Crystal behind. 

Seeing this, without saying anything, the sound of footsteps resounded through the hall as John walked towards the boy. 

Meanwhile the boy only began to laugh before asking 

"How does it feel to have your only hope taken from you? Despair? Hate? Anger? Resentment?" 

Without saying anything, John continued to walk, and with each step, the boy could feel the feeling of fear within him, increase. 

He looked over at his remaining arm and could see it shaking, and that only infuriated him even more. 

"T-Tsk... I\'ll let you win this time... But I\'ll be back..." 

Just as he said that, the boy\'s body was quickly submerged into his shadow beneath him, but before he could be fully submerged, something grabbed on to his head stopping him from going down any further. 

He looked up only to see the face of John staring down at him with an angered glare. 

"Cancel." 

The boy was suddenly dragged out of the ground, by John, letting go of his scythe in the process. 

John moved his hand towards the wall as he tightly grasped the boy\'s neck. 

Just as he was about to slam the boy on to the wall, the boy vanished before appearing above his scythe, but right as he did, John appeared in front of him, before slamming the boy onto his scythe causing the back edge of the scythe to pierce him right on his back. 

"GAH!" 

It passed through his back before sticking out of his stomach as the boy\'s back hit the floor. 

[Modero, Fulgurationem] 

Lightning passed through John\'s body as time slowed down, without waiting for the boy\'s next move, he quickly muttered the word 

"Restrain." 

Yellow transparent chains came out from the ground, before quickly wrapping themselves around the boy. They moved faster than the boy as John\'s spells were apart of him, they didn\'t slow down when time did, just like John himself. 

As the chains wrapped themselves around the boy, he tried struggling and vanishing into the shadows but it wouldn\'t work. 

"W..h..a..t..?" 

Time was slowed down so the boy spoke slowly, but it was better for John as he wasn\'t in the mood to hear his voice. 

John placed his hand over the boy\'s face and the boy tried moving it away, but his movements had slowed down, he could feel his strength being drained with each passing second and his spells weren\'t working. 

"I had many questions... How were you able to use chant-less magic, or who exactly is this king person you keep referring to... But It doesn\'t matter anymore." 

The boy probably couldn\'t understand as John was speaking much faster than normal since he had slowed time down, but John didn\'t care. 

The boy wanted to say something, but no sounds were coming out, the only voice which could be heard was John\'s. 

"Now... For what I promised you... An experience worse than death, I wonder how I should do this..." John muttered 

John\'s eyes then widened as it glew brighter, before a grin was formed on his face as he reached a conclusion. 

"I could kill you, but as someone who\'s died before, I don\'t believe your soul deserves a 2nd chance, unless you were rotting away at hell. But no, I have an even better idea, I\'ll make you useless." Said John with a smile 

Hearing this, the boy\'s eyes widened as he began to struggle even more. 

John moved his hands from the boy\'s face and watched as the boy tried screaming out words which wouldn\'t come out no matter what he did. 

He placed his hands on the boy\'s chest before saying 

"Break, Heal." 

Suddenly, the boy felt a force pass through him his chest before crashing onto his spine, causing him to feel an intense surge of pain on his spine which disappeared seconds after. 

The boy screamed out in pain but no sounds came out, he tried to move his hands to stop John when before he realised, he could no longer move. 

His heart began to beat faster and faster in fear as he watched John\'s hands move over to his face to cover his eyes. 

"Next I\'ll take your sense of sight..." Said John as he placed his hand over the boy\'s eyes 

As he did so, tears began to flow down the young boy\'s face and john who saw this, stopped smiling before asking 

"Don\'t fake that cry, it\'s sickening. You\'re not even a kid... How many lives have you taken to reach this point? Tens? Hundreds? Whatever the number, It doesn\'t matter, you brought this on yourself." 

John\'s hands began trembling above the boys eyes as he began having 2nd thoughts on doing this. 

"You hurt Serena, Ariel and all those innocent people... You deserve to suffer..." 

Johns hands then stopped trembling as his left glowing eye was covered in darkness as he took in a deep breath before letting it out. 

"The human body contains sensory receptors which pick up sensory stimuli or information which we refer to as senses. Even if I took away your eyes and ears your brain would still be able to adapt and find a way to let you get around" 

The boy listened with fear as John continued to talk 

"That\'s just how amazing the human brain can be. The information which the receptor receives is sent as electric signals towards the brain, so what do you think would happen if I overloaded your brain with electricity? It would be ruined wouldn\'t it?" John asked as electricity began to flow through his fingers 

Seeing this, the boy looked a John with a confused and worried look, showing that he didn\'t understand, and John simply showed him a small smile 

"I\'ve never done this before, and you know how this world is, you can kill someone, but it won\'t necessarily mean they\'re dead, and they always end up coming back. So rather than that, why not just make them an empty shell?" John asked 

The confused and worried look disappeared from the boy\'s face and turned into a look of despair as he began to understand the meaning behind John\'s words. 

*Zap* 

"Good night.." Said John with a smile.
