NOVPUBI continued shadow traveling alongside Layla, but I didn’t take a straight path back to the mansion for two reasons. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
The first was to enter the enemy camp, the mansion must be even more tightly controlled by those chains and I don’t know how much effort I will need to break those chains or if I will have time to do so, they will definitely act before I have that opportunity.
So I traveled through the shadows while focusing my mind, I left it to Layla to take my body while I concentrated my mind to do something a little drastic, I was using a skill I haven’t used in a long time.
I was creating lines, thousands of lines made with our Magical Essence of the Penumbra Fairies, these lines are all being controlled by me extending throughout this Magical Kingdom avoiding only the center where the mansion is.
To maintain all these lines that in the Fairy World are made of pure Magical Energy with Essence, I was using all the energy within me, but this was temporary.
I created areas in my mind after Layla gave me the memories of this entire place, I used this to create a mind map as a reference divided into 5 rings with the smallest being around the mansion to the border area of this place.
I started using the lines to break the chains furthest from the fifth ring, almost immediately a rush of energy fills my body, then I break the chains from the fourth ring and before he knows it I break the chains from the third ring, thus I have cleared more than half of the Layla’s Magic Kingdom.
But I noticed the exact problem I feared, the chains were becoming more resistant the closer I got to the mansion, I needed a few seconds sending a large amount of Energy through the lines before I managed to break the chains on the second ring and when I reached the last one I could feel someone actively resisting there is me.
I managed to channel all the Energy from the other 4 rings to myself at the same time as I took all the lines to that first ring, I needed several minutes before I managed to break the chains and I felt something looking at me.
When I realized what it was, I closed my eyes once again, coming into contact with Ragnar, then forced to share his senses, that’s how I saw that Demon before standing with his eyes closed, now with his hands wrapped around Ragnar while his head is turned towards the distance.
"(Master... get out of there...)" (Ragnar)
"LAYLA!!!" (I)
"< Space and Dark Magic: Shadow Rift >" (me/Layla)
Using my Holy Power to strengthen the magic a rift opens with Layla flying in, still being within the shadows I could still feel the massive Demonic energy coming towards us, but when we came out on the other side of the rift we were already next to the mansion.
"< Breath of the Apocalypse Demon >" (I)
Being so close, I didn’t need as much concentration to take full control of Ragnar’s body as the infinite energy nourishing me flowed to him through that same connection.
I made him open his jaw right in front of the Demon’s face as Star Flames shot out of his mouth like a river of crystal blades shattering the enemy’s arm that was holding Ragnar.
With a flap of his wings I made him retreat in the direction where Layla and I were, but the enemy wasn’t dead, he ignored Ragnar who was closer, throwing chains from the palm of his other hand towards us.
"< Stained Sword of War 20⁰ Technique: 1 Slash >" (Natasha)
Natasha appears in front of me, her body was very injured, but still she was in a half Dragon form emanating Divine Power, her Sword was made of blood and when she shook the world seemed to go silent as the chains were cut, the earth was cut, the clouds were cut, the Demon was cut, and a barrier in the Demon fortress above was cut.
An attack that cuts through everything, yet the Demon fortress was still intact and the Demon was not yet dead, chains emerged from her body tying her two parts together as her Demon Power continuously leaked.
Natasha after the attack began to fall as she returned to normal, her body flickering to the point where I had to nourish her a little with energy from the Magical Realm to keep her stable.
The Demon was still trying to maintain himself and looking around everyone else was still fighting, Ragnar who was injured also stood while Layla helped him recover.
Elizabeth and Caitlyn couldn’t be seen but they must be fighting somewhere, I agreed for Ragnar to take my sister to safety while Layla and I took advantage of the Demon trying to keep the body together to concentrate our power.
I no longer had all the lines I had before to break the chains in this area, but together we created Aura claws that began to strike these chains, making them all break little by little.
Just as I thought, everything here was very sturdy, but at least I saw that the chains were extending from this castle.
"This will take a long time, we will stay in the Fortress." (I)
"< Multi Elemental Magic: Elemental Collapse >" (me/Layla)
A sphere of pure destruction of all the elements together surrounds the fortress, but I feel something inside fighting against and almost managing to break our magic made using the Power of Essence, this is also using Divine power.
I used the infinite flow of magical power in this place to the fullest to be able to maintain it and even so the sphere of destruction was starting to crack, but I couldn’t help but smile as I felt the chains breaking inside.
"< Demonic Catastrophe >"
"< Eclipse Magic: Frontier of Light >" (I)
He used a spell when I was close to finishing, but all it did was leave countless illusory Demons destroying the sphere of elemental power surrounding the fortress, while I used the remains of the elemental energy for another spell, something that is not used for attack normally, but it should work for this situation.
The elemental sphere shattered leaving an illusion of an Eclipse in the sky, the ring of light descended and surrounded the Demonic Fortress at the same time it broke all the chains leaving there, when this happened the mansion below disappeared revealing only a crater in the ground.
I looked up and as I suspected the image of the fortress was constantly changing as if it was made of clay and was being molded, in the end it was the image of the mansion.
"< Hands of Subordination >"
"< Demonic Magic: Demonic Serpent Chains >"
Soon two large hands hold the mansion in place breaking my Eclipse border with pure brute force, a cloud of miasma spreading as chains appear from all sides moving like monsters wanting to attack.
"Layla, focus on the chains, I’ll take care of our divided friend." (I)
"< Wooden Dragon >×50" (Layla)
"< Spatial Magic: One Step Movement >" (I)
From the ground, dozens of wooden Dragons made from the roots of trees and flowers appear attacking the chains, their wooden teeth burned in Starfire as they bit the chains that also wrapped around their bodies trying to crush them.
I left Layla with the chains while using an Aura trick, maintaining my presence next to her along with an illusory image of me made with my Aura, then moving with a short Teleportation behind the Chain Demon.
I didn’t need any magic or anything like that, it would alert him of my attack, what I did was let my head take the shape of a Dragon and grow before closing my jaws around him concentrating my Essences in my teeth.
He didn’t die from it, the chains holding his split body together protected him from a quick death giving him time to prepare.
"< Breath of Cataclysm >" (I)
The elemental power of this attack with him still inside my mouth destroyed his chains, spread his Demonic energy and consumed his entire body, at that moment a tentacle appeared next to me, invading my mouth pulling something out.
I didn’t realize what it was until I got inside the doll on my waist, this bastard must have devoured the Soul of this Demonic God, but I didn’t have time to think about it when I felt a furious Aura coming out of the mansion being held in the sky by two large hands of Demonic energy.
The Divine Power emanating from this Demon was almost acidic, now without the chains that bind this entire area, I can better feel my connection to this place, his presence seems to be trying to take control of the surroundings in a different way than the stupid chains of before.
If that Chain Demon had a controlling Essence, this Demon now seems more like it was trying to possess the surroundings like a Ghost taking over someone’s body.
"I knew you would come, but I didn’t expect it to be so quickly."
"Do you have any idea how long we planned this? Do you have any idea how much effort I put into this place? Do you have any idea whose plans YOU are ruining!?"
"I don’t mind." (I)
While this arrogant idiot is talking I can feel his power still inside the mansion, this one outside is not his real body, he must be trying to take this place as his own using the Core of this place, that’s why we weren’t able to find it before.
