Heroes fought even harder, some fueled by the anger at the loss of a friend, some for the death of a child who did more good than anyone would expect, and others because they felt the anger carried by the magical forces of the universe.
But how were they still there? How were the different types of mana, which were supposed to stop existing if Adrian died, still work perfectly fine? Actually, they were working even harder to aid those fighting against the invaders.
The reason was simple: Adrian isn't human; he is an elemental fused to his mana to create a mix of biology and magic, so who cares if his physical body stopped existing? He just has to create a new one.
Why not create a big enough show to let everyone see it?
The ground started to rumble in Central Park, and the plants started fusing and bending with each other, slowly creating what could be described as the biggest tree anyone could have ever seen, reaching heights and sizes that made the Empire State Building look small in comparison.
But that wasn't the end, far from it.
Some aliens tried getting close and trying to destroy it, but the closer they got, the more they began bleeding from no visible wound, their eyes popped, their brains melted, and all of the organs exploded. This wasn't a process that could be stopped by mongrels.
So what if another laser tried to destroy it? The same that had "killed" Adrian?
The dimension bent on its own, and as if it were glass, the laser got redirected back against one of the snake ships, melting it and killing everyone inside of it.
Once the tree had finally reached its intended size, it began becoming smaller, and smaller, and smaller... it was losing the shape of a tree.
Plants were being condensed into the shape of something not even close to a tree; it had skin made of wood, organs made of blood, a brain made of the dimension itself, chaos and mana, muscles made with fire, lungs made of air, and bones made of rock.
People started recognising the elemental when his figure started gaining features, when the eyes opened, the rainbow they were used to seeing returned, and when the skin changed colour and the details that made Adrian, Adrian, people saw the return of the hero they thought they had lost.

My connection to mana was gone now, because it was no mere connection anymore, we are a fusion, he is me, and I am it, I will exist till I exist, and it will exist until I exist. I have become a mortal who is theoretically immortal. I have become something beyond understanding, turning myself into the biggest contradiction in the universe, if not the multiverse.
I moved my hand, ready for the incoming Obsidian, who started licking my face, his worry spreading through our connection. The worry of all my familiars was also present, but they had their own job at the moment.
" It's good to see you are alright," I said with a smile.
Looking up at the sky, I still saw hundreds of portals opening, while more and more troops descended.
" Let's end this."
I rose to the sky, my body covered with a cloth made purely of mana, my hands moved with speed not perceivable by human eyes, as my voice split into hundreds.
A strange symphony could be heard, strange symbols covered the sky, the presence of a True God was descending on this world, and its anger had been provoked.
Dominion of Magic took effect, and my brain kept up with all the information that was being fed to it; information usually ignored was now being used because, under the effect of this spell, I was no mortal, I am a God.
It took a second, a single second, for the dimension to restore its normal state, all the portal closed, all the ships disappeared, all the aliens in the sky turned to dust, my mana emptied by the use of such a powerful spell, but I had done my job, no more portals could ever open here on Earth if not under my control and supervision, because I am here.
