NOVPUBPov Elizabeth’s:
I looked at the surroundings while dodging the shadow claw attacks and curse rays, the battle was a mess, Natasha’s enemy was the worst possible combination being a Demigod Corpse Demon who can use clones, they don’t take physical damage normally and in this place of pure magical energy are immortal.
Caitlyn was also having problems, she was facing 3 enemies, all of them are illusion types focused on curse, they are similar to her, which allows her to defend herself from her and keep her busy, they are buying time.
The others are not fighting enemies so prepared to go against them, but all these Demons are too strong for them, the Demons summoned from before made the situation really bad, but it is clear that they were prepared to fight against all of us.
"You’re a real bastard, Parasyta!" (I)
"Don’t say that, I thought we could become intimate, I’ve always admired you." (Parasyta)
I grab the arm of a Demon trying to use a Divine Weapon, then I use Holy energy to cut the arm off and recover the Divine Weapon, I only needed one look to notice that it was a flaw, it was not a true Divine Weapon, it has no Divinity neither spirituality nor spirituality, it only serves to convey power.
"Since when did the great Blood Empress become a thief, give it back." (Parasyta)
He didn’t raise his voice, but a worm grew on the outside of the Weapon trying to attack me, I released the Weapon which flies back to one of them, they were all smiling and had the same expression, even their Auras were mixed as one in one layers, so I wasn’t able to find the worm inside them.
"You talk too much to someone so weak, how did you manage to take over these idiots’ bodies?" (I) 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
"They accepted my gifts, for Demonic Deities they are surprisingly naive." (Parasyta)
This was the Demonic God of Parasites, this bastard caused me a lot of problems for half my life, even if he acts I know he is not here, these are simple idiots being controlled by him, even if he kills them and the parasites inside them nothing will happen With his real body, this bastard is one of my biggest failures.
"(He doesn’t like to act together with others, he also doesn’t accept orders normally, they must have paid a lot to get his help and clearly he is a weapon against me.)" (I)
This whole fight was a huge waste of time, but they wouldn’t let me get close to my sisters so it would be harder for us to switch places, Natasha could deal with this damned worm and I could easily deal with Caitlyn’s enemies while she finishes off the corpses that have been bothering Natasha.
Unfortunately, they know this possibility and are keeping us away from each other.
While I was thinking about how to get out of this impasse, Zenos’ fight ended, it seems that he is getting stronger and stronger, unfortunately his experience will not reach the level of someone who has lived thousands of years, his temper is also horrible, he could have tried to seal your enemy instead of just trying to defeat him.
When Rosane arrived, changing the fight in our favor, it was much faster to deal with all these Demons, but Zenos needed time to recover.
------------------
Pov Zenos:
I was watching Aurora talk to her sister Rosane, she looked frustrated when she walked away, Rosane came towards me and I got up, my whole body was hurting, which is strange since this body has no flesh, muscles or bones.
"How it feels?" (Rosane)
"Less worse, which is enough." (I)
"How long have I been resting?" (I)
"About 20 or 30 minutes in, I’m glad I woke up, I was about to call you." (Rosane)
"We have no time to waste, every second could mean the death of hundreds of Fairies." (Rosane)
In fact, this calculation may be too conservative, looking at the sky I can see the explosion lights happening in all directions, that’s because I’m not considering what could be happening in other Magical Kingdoms like this.
"I know, I’ll start now." (I)
I look at Layla who recovered much faster than me, this place is part of her who created all of this, not to mention that she wasn’t hurt as much as I was.
"Is ready?" (I)
"Yes, I also know what we should do." (Layla)
I followed Layla to where the crater was before, but the mansion was in the place where it was always supposed to be, the surroundings look like a copy of how things are inside the Dungeon.
I followed Layla to the mansion’s hall, the place where I made a contract with her and where she was reborn, being in this place and knowing that this is the center of the Magic Kingdom gives a new meaning to this place, I couldn’t help but remember the past.
That grotesque, deformed little creature, an aberration created by a madman who did the unspeakable to innocent Fairies.
I still remember those fragments of Soul and consciousness in agony, I remember how they were hurting each other in their suffering without realizing it, I remember how the majority cried out for death, I never found out who the Necromancer was who did it and I don’t care anymore that the Fairy Kings broke his Soul.
I look at Layla, now the most malicious Fairy I’ve ever met, the one who devours sweets, the one who can’t talk to me without being offended, I couldn’t help but see that grotesque image and this Layla now side by side, time has passed very quickly since those days.
"What are you doing looking at me so much, idiot master?" (Layla)
"Nothing, just some memories." (I)
"What do we have to do?" (I)
In the World of Spirits, Nix and I were able to leave everything to our instincts, I did almost nothing consciously, I still remember the whole process, but it’s more as if I were an observer than the one who carried it out, it was as if my Alma knew how to do something that my mind didn’t understand.
With the Tree of Flesh created by Yntra that has now become the Tree of Stellar Corruption, the process was different from what I went through with Nix, my instincts were still part of the equation, but it was secondary, it was something much more natural where I was the center of change and at the same time I had no active control over almost anything, it was something more physical with the Flesh Tree adapting to me while evolving into something totally different.
I couldn’t help but think about how things would play out now with Layla, it seems like every time she creates a Power Source the process is completely different.
"I didn’t know what to do either, since I transformed my Fairy Cradle into a Fairy Temple I never entered this mansion, in fact I spent little time in the Magic Kingdom that I created in the Fairy World." (Layla)
"But while I waited for the princess to wake up from her beauty sleep, I restored everything the Demons had disturbed to their proper places and checked the entire mansion." (Layla)
Layla was visibly strange looking around before her presence and Aura expanded to the entire Hall where we were, that’s when I noticed the cracks in the ceiling, walls and floor.
These were not normal cracks, they passed through objects, furniture and everything in their path interconnecting in the center of the room.
These cracks were glowing with different colors, if I close my eyes I can hear voices like whispers and I can feel power flows from different separate elements in each crack, the cracked parts colliding with each other.
"This was the last place I checked, I didn’t want to go in here at first, I didn’t know why I was feeling uncomfortable, I tried to put it aside and meditate here imitating how you do, that’s when I understood what it all means." (Layla)
The cracks began to grow and separate, but what was shown was not the outside of the mansion or other rooms, beyond the cracks was a flowing space with various elements flowing through.
The place where Layla and I were standing, the center of the hall was the only part that didn’t move as the parts of the hall separated more and more like fragments floating in the void.
The flows of power looked like rivers of magma, tornadoes of water, stone trees with metal leaves, and mountains of water.
All the elements were trying to imitate each other, they were all flowing in this place and yet they seemed separate, it didn’t feel natural.
The times I heard how whispers were still there, it was impossible to understand what they were saying, but I felt sad for some reason.
I looked at Layla and she was looking around with a mix of emotions in her eyes, she looks uncomfortable at first before looking at me determinedly.
"These are the voices of those who came before me, those who form who I am." (Layla)
"My Soul was made of fragments that you united, but the reason I lasted until you found me was that other fragments of Souls were used to stabilize the parts that were inside me, I myself don’t know how many there were and they are all part of me." (Layla)
"This place makes me uncomfortable because it makes me face a weak part of myself, a part that is no longer me, but ironically still part of me and will always be there." (Layla)
"This was the end of all those who are whispering and it was also my beginning, in this place both events happened at the same time in my rebirth in your hands." (Layla)
"Layla... I..." (I)
"No need to say anything, you’ll soon understand once we start." (Layla)
