NOVPUBSeeing that the enemies have no way to enter, I prioritized assessing my surroundings, having a sense of the terrain is essential regardless of what happens from now on.
The place I am in looks like the Temple of Spirits I just left, a waterfall with a lake where there is a Moon in the middle of the lake and a lush forest surrounding it.
But that was just superficial, the proportions of everything are the same as if it were a copy and I say it is a copy because they are different in everything else.
The waterfall has no water, the liquid falling down the waterfall are stars in the darkness, the lake where it falls is actually the night sky itself with stars flowing across the sky formed where the waterfall falls, the Moon in the middle was not a reflection and yes a sphere of pure silver energy as solid as the rest of the place that surrounds me.
I could feel that here the energy was literally matter, the energy has weight and shape as if it were something physical, everything here was energy materialized in gaseous, liquid and solid forms as well as the 3 physical forms of matter.
The laws of physics do not exist in this place and even though they are followed in a certain way, they seem more like an optional rule or a baseline for the rest and not a fixed rule of reality.
Looking at the trees around I realized that they were alive, they moved normally, collecting the liquid night sky with branches and vines as if it were normal.
This was a fantastic place, my curiosity was spiking like a kid in a candy store not knowing where to start, if it wasn’t for the enemy deer and the grave situation the entire Spirit World finds itself in, I might have gotten carried away and went exploring.
Sigh
"Nix, what is this place?" (I)
"The Temple of Spirits that you see in the Dungeon is just a small reflection of this place, its current size is similar to that of an island approximately 800 kilometers long." (Nix)
"Did you create this place?" (I)
"Yes and no, this place created itself with me being the cause of its birth, the Spiritual World is alive and this island was born from everything I brought here, I also helped by being a model of interaction between these energies which led to its creation with my Aura imprinting part of this place in reality like a boat anchored so as not to float adrift." (Nix)
"As a spirit I have the basic instinct to live in this environment, but for someone like you it’s a little more difficult, using your Aura seems to compensate for your natural flaw..." (Nix)
"Stop talking, there’s someone new coming." (Layla)
"..." (me/Nix)
"(Hunger...)" (Hinata)
I planned to just check the surroundings by passing by first, ensure a safe arrival for the others and that’s because of Nix who controls this place, but it seems like I was attacked before and now another attack is going to happen.
Looking at the enemies above I noticed that most of them moved away revealing multicolored clouds and things like rocks, mountains, crystals and islands floating around, everything was very blurry as if I was trying to see underwater.
What was just visible was the outside of the dome, the Specters before trying to get through moved away revealing a Demon, she had a beautiful appearance from the waist up, but the lower part of her body was that of a Wolf, the body Hers is half transparent and there is a dark green mist around her, the horn on her head is large and splits into two at the tip where an ethereal eye floats between the tips of the horn looking at me.
"I didn’t expect to find a Demigod here, especially someone so appetizing..." (Demon)
She smiled revealing sharp teeth and a very large tongue with a large amount of saliva running down the side of her mouth, I tried to mentally talk to Nix so the enemy wouldn’t find out anything about us.
"(Nix, did you create this dome?)" (I)
"(Yes, the dome is actually a bubble that expanded from me, that’s how I warded off the enemies coming towards us when we arrived.)" (Nix)
"(I imagine this won’t work on her, will it?)" (I)
"(I created this barrier with Spiritual Power from this place, but it has Holy Power and even seems to be stronger than me, it will break through the barrier as if it were made of jelly.)" (Nix)
"Didn’t anyone tell you how rude it is to not talk back to a beautiful woman?" (Demon)
"< Eclipse Rune: Barrier Moon >" (I)
"< Water Rune: Pressure Slash >" (Nix)
I just saw her disappear outside the dome and I was already acting before I knew where she was, I just left aside the fact that the dome had broken into pieces letting all the Specters come towards us and I focused on the moment when the sound of the first arrogant word left her mouth.
I created a Rune made up of smaller Runes following what Nix taught in the past and activated it using my energy body, this created a hole in my body as the energy in that area was consumed by the Rune letting her entire arm pass through me.
Her head was enveloped by a moon-shaped barrier that broke in the middle of her movement, the moon-shaped barrier shattered into hundreds of smaller fragments that attacked her with the same force received before.
Nix at the same time cut off her arm, which dissolved into dark green mist as it returned to her body as well as her head, which fell apart after the fragments of the Lunar Barrier hit her head before disappearing.
She uses a wolf claw to launch me towards a tree where I am carefully grabbed by the tree’s branches, Nix joins my side while Layla and Hinata remain hidden inside me.
"Do you really think you can hurt me... You bastard..." (Demon)
Before she finished speaking, a sword cut her body into hundreds of pieces that were unable to come back together and before it dispersed it was sucked into a glass bottle in Hela’s hands.
"< Breath of the Eclipse >" (Magnus)
Coming out of the Spirit Gate were Hela holding the bottle next to Natasha holding a glowing crude red crystal sword, right behind them Magnus came flying using a breath attack of black liquid and white mist mixed together, his attack spreading in the form cone upwards where the Demonic Specters were approaching.
"Thanks." (I)
"Don’t thank her yet, she is a Divine Servant, do you understand what that means?" (Natasha)
"Damn, this could be bad..." (I)
Suddenly I feel a murderous intent directed at us, it was very far away, but it was so vast and heavy that it was like being run over by a planet, I couldn’t help but shiver due to the instinctive fear of death, if it weren’t for my emotional control I would have been paralyzed or perhaps even unconscious due to fear. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
"He knows..." (I)
"An empty threat, if he could come he would already be here, don’t worry." (Natasha)
"What we have to pay attention to is those around us." (Natasha)
"Nix, can you?" (I)
"I’m ready." (Nix)
Since I acquired my Familiars I have done things differently from others, I fight alongside them and sometimes even protecting them, there are few times when I unite my power with theirs and part of this is due to my arrogance of not I like using the power of others, so I tend to separate my Familiars’ power from mine naturally in my mind when in fact they are one and the same.
"< Chaos Rune: Blade of Propagation >" (me/Nix)
My power and Nix’s power merge into a Rune made of Holy Power, then I look at the enemies as the Rune forms like a sword.
The Specters were not defeated by Magnus, he managed to destroy some, but because he spread his power the lethality of his attack decreased a lot, now more enemies are approaching, I can see more Specters coming out of another 2 floating islands in the distance in the sky and coming in our direction.
When the Runa sword was made it seemed to be smooth metal, even the handle was made of metal, when I held it it was the weight and texture of the metal even though it was pure Spiritual Energy.
With a swing of my hands holding the sword, a cut was made towards the closest Spectre, most of my energy was consumed making my body thinner, the sword in my hands fell apart seeming to melt instantly taking the shape of the cut he had made, a blade of energy materialized in metal was flying towards the Specter hitting his body which was consumed forming a second flying blade cut, the two attacks go to two closer enemies who did not have time to dodge becoming 4 attacks and so on.
Some enemies were able to defend or dodge the attack only to die by another, everything happened very quickly, enemies were being torn to pieces while the sky was filled with flying blades heading towards the enemies coming from other places.
I wanted to finish them all at once, but suddenly something large appeared from the horizon, it looked like a purple cloud covered in mouths that devoured my attack as if it were an appetizer, their mouths smiling as thousands of colors spoke in synchronization.
"Elizabeth, I found you, bitch!" (Bizarre Cloud)
"Hahahahaha..." (Bizarre Cloud)
