Pov Elizabeth’s:
As soon as that thing spoke I recognized the main voice, there was a voice that spoke fractions of a second before the other voices in sync speaking next, I wouldn’t let that go unnoticed, not with that voice.
When I felt the energy of space approaching I knew it was him, the same strategy I taught in the second conquest campaign.
As space literally enveloped me and expanded like a bubble, it merged with another bubble of space revealing that Demonic Cloud.
The once empty place where we were soon became a green marble castle with green ornaments, we were at the gate of the castle which has 15 towers with the largest being the tower in the middle of the castle where the throne room is located.
"(This brings back memories.)" (I)
If I close my eyes I can still hear the scream of the Knights training, the cry of a king who is afraid of the mountain of documents that forms with each war he participates in and the happy voices of the population that lived in the city near the castle.
"You didn’t need to show me that, Elijah." (I)
"So you still remember those you abandoned and betrayed!?" (Elias)
The green clouds that previously took up a lot of space form a tornado that decreases in size increasingly condensing a gelatinous body of almost 3 meters, it looked like something a child would create with mud when asked to create the figure of a person, the strangest thing is the countless mouths spread across your body.
"I didn’t cheat on you, I warned you more than once that this would happen..." (I)
"SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!!!" (Elias)
Even without looking I can start perfectly what he is going to do, I took two steps to the left dodging an ice sword from behind, then I stepped hard on the ground breaking the ice forming below in the shape of some monster, I turned my body giving a kick the ice creature that was jumping towards me from a blind spot.
"Stop it, I know you well enough to...cough...cough..." (I)
"You were always too arrogant, bitch!" (Elias)
Changing his behavior pattern, from the cracks I made in the ground 3 ice spikes pierce my body, then he approaches me with his arm becoming a large monster jaw with ice teeth.
But as soon as it reached me, the body disintegrated into red mist, a clone made using my Aura together with blood energy, my true body was underground from the moment I stepped on the ground, my true body was in liquid form like real blood before I sprouted from the ground returning to my old form.
"< Chain of Blood Runes: Life Overlay >" (I)
More than 100 Runes exactly the same in liquid form come out in a row from my palm, condensing into 1 Rune that becomes solid like metal when the palm of my hand hits the area of his chest, creating a concentrated wave of energy making the body him fly backwards.
From his mist body, several arms and heads were formed trying to free themselves from his body, unfortunately this was very quick to be resolved, the mouths that form his body began to devour these heads and arms.
"As always you ignore a problem right in front of you being deceived by what others want you to see." (I)
He was the first student I taught, when I first met him he was just a half-dead teenager among a group of bandits and some children, such strong willpower, the resolve to face certain death rather than giving in to his beliefs and that sparkle in your eyes.
"(Are you a Vampire? What is a Vampire and why do you want to be my teacher?)" (Elias)
"(Teacher, are you crazy!? I can’t become a King!)" (Elias)
"(Teacher, I want to help them, but you were right, there is a limit to how far just a pair of hands can go.)" (Elias)
"(Teacher, they died because of me, I wasn’t strong enough to protect them, how can I be stronger!?)" (Elias)
"(Teacher, this is our Kingdom, what do you think? It may be small now, but I will transform it into a home for those who seek peace.)" (Elias)
"(Teacher, I just wanted peace, so why is this war happening, what should I do?)" (Elias)
"(Teacher, we won this war, but why don’t I feel happy?)" (Elias)
"(Teacher, after many years and several wars, I finally made it, this is no longer that small Kingdom, this is the biggest Empire in the world, hahahahaha...)" (Elias)
"(Professor, I swear I’d rather have to lead another war than deal with these Nobles, I knew some had ambition and sometimes showed themselves to be a little selfish, but they weren’t that bad in the past... now they think first in them before looking at the people... what should I do?)" (Elias)
"(Why don’t you understand!? Things are no longer as simple as you make them seem! My every word carries the weight of millions of lives!!)" (Elias)
"(Teacher, where have you been all these years? I can’t trust anyone anymore, there are enemies in my Empire, I don’t know what to do... I don’t know who to trust...)" (Elias)
"(Teacher, why don’t you say anything? Why don’t you talk once again about your simple solution to all of this!? THIS DAMN CIVIL WAR!!!)" (Elias)
The memories of him were a disappointment to me when he achieved his wish he was no longer the inflexible boy I found close to death, but he was still a good King, unfortunately he chose to give in more and more to the people, the nobles and the other nations, This erased everything that remained of that glow that I was still able to see in his eyes until that moment.
The last time I looked at that beautiful place there was nothing left, it was ruins, there were remains of lifeless bodies and nothing else, it was an Empire of the dead.
"< Divine Incarnation: 90% >" (I)
As the Divine Spark burned within me I focused on what I planted in him all those years ago, my lineage that I shared with him when I accepted him as one of my children.
He couldn’t even take care of himself now, the random body parts coming out of his body keep appearing and his futile attempt to devour those body parts is of no use, our own bodies here are energy, even losing our minds here I wouldn’t kill anyone like I would outside of here.
"What was once the gift I gave you, today will be the strings attached to your execution." (I)
The lineage that runs through my interior goes far beyond just the body, even in this place the power of the lineage went through my body as if it were my blood.
As soon as I reach the power within him I begin to burn borrowing the power of Zenos, the power of the bloodline becomes the power of death eating away at his Spectral body.
"Do you think I’m afraid of the power of death!?" (Elias)
"Hahaha... hahahahahaha..." (Elias)
"I’m already dead, if there’s one thing I’m not afraid of it’s death, you can’t defeat me." (Elias)
"You’re right, killing a Strong Specter is already difficult, but a Divine level Demon Specter like you is even worse to defeat." (I)
The Divine Power showed itself with the power of my bloodline and in less than 1 second the set of two powers fused together formed a great two-handed sword, the appearance being the same as his Sword in the past.
"< Divine Blood Rune: Age Divider >" (I)
With the Rune I created with my Divine power becoming a red crystal sword, that sword passed through the cloud and continued until it split the castle and with it the barrier of this place.
The barrier is broken and just as needed she came to me without showing anything, her translucent body crossing the barrier with her eyes focused only on Elias, but before she could reach the space around him it broke making him disappear.
The power of death was just to get his attention and it worked perfectly. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
"Gone... hunger..." (Hinata)
After Elias disappeared she came to me, as Zenos’ Familiar she could devour him giving him a more permanent death.
"There’s no need to hide, I know you’re there, why did you save him?" (I)
"I can’t let you kill him, my contract is just to test his strength, I’m sorry about that." (Delilah)
Suddenly a copy of me with gray hair appears in front of me, as always the Demonic Goddess of Contract always taking the form of others.
"You know, your brother is incredible, he has so many contracts..." (Dalila)
"Don’t think about him too much, you don’t want someone like him around." (I)
"Alright, then I’ll go while this thing doesn’t attack me yet." (Delilah)
"Food?" (Hinata)
"No, just an idiot." (I)
"What a difficult thing to hear from an old friend." (Delilah)
"But out of respect for our relationship I will say something, the Ritual of that Empire was done by..." (Dalila)

Pov Zenos:
After dealing with my enemy Hinata jumped out of me and ran the cube where Elizabeth was supposed to be, but I didn’t participate because an unexpected visitor appeared.
"Hello, Zenos." (Stella)
