Attacking me and Nix at the same time while grabbing our attention head on with a display of power, something so cliché was obvious.
From inside my body the blood energy comes out taking the form of Haku, she came out already hugging the enemy who tried to ambush me with her entire body.
The power of the Blood Transmutation Essence was concentrated in his teeth that sank into his shoulder.
Meanwhile, two of Ibuki’s swords went through their backs while Caitlyn created illusory chains locking him in place, all of this happened in less than 5 seconds.
The 5 in front of us didn’t stand still, they advanced towards us without saying anything else now that they are no longer trying to get our attention, there is no point in talking in a battle where neither side will be willing to take a step back.
I knew that not even the biggest idiot would try to talk to enemies in such an arrogant way, any creature with half a brain knows that they shouldn’t underestimate an enemy so much if they don’t have a plan behind them, at least no one at that level of strength would do that, I believe that idiots of that level would not survive to that level.
Just as I expected they attacked and my sisters took each one with them leaving only 2 behind, Stella and I advanced towards them, I knew that with their commanders in front it was only a matter of time for the troops to attack again and I could already feel they are invading from all directions, this place has just been formed and does not have the same barrier that Stella helped put up before, it wouldn’t work either since this place is still changing, the big changes have determined it and now it will take time until this place stabilize completely.
The one I fought against was one of the Demons, that one seemed to be the leader, as they moved I realized that they prevented my sisters and Stella from getting to him, it seems like they want to let him get to me.
"< Cursed Rune: Symbol of Agony >"
"< Holy Summon: Star Sword >" (I)
In this place, my Spiritual Energy is infinite, but my Sacred Power was not, summoning the sword was difficult in this situation, I still managed to cut his Rune with the sword, this moment was what he sought.
4 more enemies appeared, the power of Divinity marking their Auras rather than being part of their Auras, clearly showing that at least they are not Gods.
"< Embrace of the Void >" (Hinata)
"< Aura Incarnation: 4 Paths of Condemnation >" (Hades)
Hinata pulled out of me, her expressionless face revealing not a trace of joy at seeing 3 Specters among the 4 new enemies.
With a voice that seems to echo for eternity the space near them began to melt with arms of different sizes appearing to drag them inside, two of them were very close and were unable to avoid the arms while one of them escaped by ripping off an arm without hesitation.
Soon Hades, who comes out of my Shadow, holds the head of this one without one of his arms, using it as a shield to stop the attack of the last enemy.
I couldn’t help but smile at the thought that my level of paranoia is correct, but at the same time I was worried that he might have another trick up his sleeve.
As soon as this place was complete I could feel the consciousness of my 3 Heralds awaken within my Soul, I also realized that I could help them build bodies of Chaos Spiritual Energy using my connection with this place to do so.
It was very simple and that’s why two of my Heralds stayed with me while Cinthia accompanied Nix earlier.
"< 1000 Cuts > ×100" (I)
With sword in hand I charged at the enemy, which quickly proved to be a horrible decision when he charged at me smiling.
Divine Power exploded from him as his body changed, his head grew while tentacles grew like beards on his face, his arms separated into dozens of intertwined tentacles trying to take the shape of arms.
The bastard was hiding power from him and now I didn’t have time to use my Divine Incarnation.
When he came at me, the tentacles of one of his arms wrapped around my sword while the other arm hit me to the point that I would have been thrown miles back if I hadn’t been held by him.
"< Breath of Chaos >" (I)
"< Demonic Corrosion >"
I gathered my power once again to launch a breath attack against him, but his body bent in an impossible way to avoid the attack, his tentacles tried to extend throughout my body as I felt it burn.
"< Divine Incarnation: 80% >" (I)
This time my body didn’t change much, that’s because this body is made of pure Spiritual Energy, so this energy was replaced by Divine Power even stronger than the last time I used it.
I blasted my Aura forcing him away from me, spectacular fire burning in my sword as it descended towards him.
Its writhing tentacles taking the form of a drill that has crystallized, it pushes its Aura against mine and has the advantage, but in terms of strength our strengths are not very far away, with each blow we exchanged I was always pushed back a little.
Shockwaves spread with each strike, it was hard to admit, but I’m no match for him in strength and technique, every strike I tried was repelled with ease and he saw every attempt to create a Spirit Rune immediately interrupting.
My repertoire with Spiritual Runes was no longer large and this bastard was making things worse, the others were in their own battles, an army had arrived to fight just as I predicted before and Ibuki was leading alongside Kira, other Spirits had arrived to help at any moment.
CRACK!!!
That’s when a crashing sound happened and suddenly the space closed around the Demons taking in all the enemies, from the one I was facing, as well as everyone else in their army.
"But what..." (I)
An Aura suddenly swept everything in all directions, the environment itself seemed to clear itself, the heat of the Starfire spreading out as if pushed by the Aura to spread, it was only at this moment that I felt the Demonic energy being burned.
------------------
Pov Dravos (God of Spirits):
When the wave of Essence began to change the entire Spirit World, I could feel the barrier holding me back weaken, but instead of leaving immediately, I started back with the Spirit World discovering the location of each of the Demon invaders.
Seeing so many Spirits possessed by Demons or Specters and the contamination of my lands by Demonic energy filled my thoughts with violence, but this was not the time for that.
I could sense the Gods outside, they know the current weakness of this barrier and are ready to attack as soon as it leaves the barrier.
"You are too young to even think about going against me." (I)
"< Divine Rune: Eternal Imprisonment >" (I)
I create a Rune with my Divine power, the power of each Rune is in its meaning, something you need to understand and feel to use fully, that’s why races with longer lifespans can use this power better than ordinary Humans.
I break the barrier with a movement of my hand and the Rune activates, spreading its effect throughout the Spirit World.
Those who were waiting for me tried to attack me, but at that moment all their Divine Weapons disappeared, without wasting time I waved my hand once again making them all the first to be imprisoned.
Each trapped enemy was placed in a space within my new Divine Weapon, Spiritual Palace, a Divine Weapon that strengthens my Territories, serves as a Seal and can even be used to nourish a world if necessary.
"I’ll stick with the Divine Weapons." (Hernoth)
"Do what you want, but I want that bastard." (I)
"I lost many Spirits and the Spirit World will take years to return to normal." (I)
I move my hand gathering little of the new Spiritual Energy still spreading throughout my Spirit World, what gathered was a small flame that burns like the stars.
"Can you use Zenos’ power now that the Power Source is ready?" (Hernoth)
"No, but I can at least gather some and with a little more effort... give him a purpose or a target..." (I)
I use my Essence and Divine Power on these flames which become a sphere before I launch forward, as the waiting flames exploded a wave of my power pushed the flames to sweep across the entire Spirit World burning the filthy energy they dared to bring here.
"Your plan failed." (I)
"Not entirely, with them in hand I can do that." (Hernoth)
"That ritual is forbidden." (I)
"You knew what I wanted to do, in case everything goes wrong, the worst option might be the only option." (Hernoth)
"..." (I)
"(Maybe there is a new possibility, but it’s too early to talk about it, he’s still very weak and inexperienced...)" (I)
From a distance I can see him in his incomplete state, even I’m not sure what he will become in the end.
"(Those who incarnate chaos always do things in the strangest ways... I hope you know what you’re doing bringing your Soul here, Selene.)" (I)
