NOVPUBIn this room of mirrors, my biggest concern was the creature in front of me, it looked like a being from myths and legends.
He was 2 meters tall, with a strong physical build, his face only had a crystal orb that seemed to contain a black hole inside and tentacles that moved on their own.
His skin was a light blue color that matched his cloak made of dark blue water that, despite being a liquid, remained in the form of a cloak.
He only had two legs and two arms, his hair was crystal clear to the point that I almost mistook it for crystals, but it was actually made of ice somehow.
He held a large sword more than half his own size and with a single edge, the sword seemed to be made of bones and ice, his entire appearance screams that he is a God of the Seas, but his presence was filled with the power of Darkness and not I was able to feel not even a trace of the power of water in him, in fact I was feeling in his presence the Power of Death trying to camouflage itself behind the Power of Darkness.
"(Darkness and Death... but your appearance...)" (I)
His appearance that goes against everything I expected, feeling his power leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, how a God of Death can look like a God of the Seas.
"You think you can fight me..."
I stopped listening to him, I thought I could hear something interesting, but all he does is talk nonsense, I also realized that he doesn’t have a mouth and I’m not hearing his voice in my mind.
"< Holy Rune of Spatial: Spatial Boundary >" (I)
I used the mirror fragments in the surroundings and reflected the Spiritual Rune that I created, I used its power to transform the contour lines of several mirror fragments, with that the space around him opened hundreds of times breaking his body into pieces that fall to the floor.
"..." (I)
I looked at him and he was dead, totally dead, but the presence I was feeling did not diminish, so a sphere formed, sucking the energy from the remains of the body and it was from this sphere that I heard the same voice once again.
"I wasn’t prepared."
"< Holy Magic: Blood Sword Transmutation >" (I)
My arm is taken over by my blood leaking through the pores of my skin, this blood takes the form of a large sword that swallows my entire arm from the elbow down before descending against the sphere of energy.
Just as my blood sword looked like it was going to hit, the sword passes through the sphere hitting the ground, I had to dodge to the side when the attack was reflected by the mirrors on the ground, meanwhile I had to listen to the enemy’s laughing voice.
"You idiot, you can’t hurt me, hahahahaha..."
Suddenly her laughter was interrupted when Hinata appeared with her mouth open swallowing the sphere, it was the first time I saw Hinata play with something in her mouth without swallowing directly, she was chewing while throwing something from one side to the other inside her mouth, this lasted several minutes before she swallowed.
I was silent not knowing how she got here or what the enemy was, so I remained silent until Hinata finished knowing that something difficult for her to eat was more than just troublesome, so I was a little relieved when she stopped moving the jaw and opened his mouth while putting his head to the side in confusion.
"Did you break up with him?" (I)
"It ran away...weird...strange taste...?" (Hinata)
"Did he run away? From inside your mouth?" (I)
"No flesh... no energy... no Soul... strange...?" (Hinata)
"Without soul?" (I)
Of all my Familiars, Nix and Hinata are the ones who spend the most time with me, especially Hinata who sleeps inside my necklace and lately inside my body ripping out my Soul.
Even though his words are few, it’s not difficult to understand from the context, that thing had the power of a Death God, but it didn’t have a Soul, that doesn’t make sense since even Gods have Souls, I know this personally from having two ancient Gods as Heroes and having a Fairy Goddess as a daughter.
"< Dead River Threshold >"
Suddenly the voice appears once again, I was aware of my surroundings and Hinata’s escape warning left me prepared for a possible enemy attack once again.
As soon as I heard the voice I was already very close to Hinata, but there was still something interfering with the connection between the two of us, I needed to touch her directly to reestablish our connection and I let the Sacred Power flow between us to shield this connection, preventing it from being cut again.
As he did this he was looking at a specific mirror fragment that changed, it was no longer reflecting what was in front of him and showed images of a world in ruins with green rivers passing through both the land and the air.
It was exactly one of these rivers that turned a bend in its steady flow and exited the mirror fragment, growing larger almost instantly.
A flood-like stream of water was falling towards us, which wouldn’t be a problem if it was normal water, but that dark green water contained what looked like tormented souls stretching their claws towards us.
I could feel Divine Power coming from the green water itself, it wasn’t as strong, but it was still Divine Power.
"< Space Magic: Teleportation >" (I)
Holding Hinata, I move to the furthest point of this river, but to my surprise it was necessary, the river stopped before reaching where I was and turned towards me as if it were a conscious creature.
From within this river a person comes out, a large person who was made by the agglomeration of things that look like tormented Souls, this person looks like a giant young man, his long hair floats in all directions as if he were in the water, one of his eyes it was closed while the other one that was open revealed the same sphere of energy that Hinata tried to devour.
This God of Death was the same one he was feeling before, his presence was the same coming out of that sphere of energy that must have been his eye that is now missing, he uses the river like a Lamia tail with the tip still inside the Fragment mirror.
"You owe me an eye."
"< Call of Souls >"
Suddenly he raised his hand, which is semi-transparent, and I felt a suction force directly on my Soul, but as soon as I felt this, the illusory Essence Core began to rotate intensely, forcefully pushing away this suction, so I looked at Hinata next to me who didn’t there was no kind of Essence twitching.
"Tickling... haha ha hahaha..." (Hinata)
"(I don’t know if this can still be considered a laugh...)" (I)
I was relieved to see that Hinata was okay, but her laugh was more than strange, it was like the mix of maniacal laughter in a bizarre choir with a background sound emphasizing the echo of the laughter.
"< Divine Incarnation: 83% >" (I)
"< Space Rune: Space Bending >" (I)
"< Divine Eclipse Magic: End Dragon >" (I)
"< Death Curse >"
I let my Essences and Authority ignite the Divine Spark within me, without even waiting for my body to change completely, I had already created a Spiritual Rune within the body which I activated immediately appearing behind the enemy.
My body was growing quickly, but even pushing the limits a little, I used all the Essences at the same time along with My Divine Weapon.
The Cursed Sun and Fragmented Moon come out of my hands at the same time, magic circles emerge from them before overlapping into the image of an Eclipse sucking in a lot of Holy Power.
Soon I strengthened my Divine Weapon with the power of the Divine Spark within me launching the attack.
An overlapping magic circle releases a torrent of Starfire that becomes a solid crystal Dragon as it collides with the enemy, I felt his Divine power trying to mark my Soul in the process, but then I felt Niryna move within my Blood Core, a Macabre power came out of her, grabbing the curse created by the power of Death before breaking it into pieces that she threw at the doll I carried on my waist.
That must have been Callidora, I don’t believe Niryna could do that, so that must have been a real risk for me.
While I was worried about what happened to me, my attack hit the enemy and his entire body shattered as if it too was made of a mirror.
"Do you think it’s over... hahahaha... I’m just the first..." 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
As he began to speak, suddenly thousands of White Serpents emerge from the mirrors and eat the enemy’s fragments in less than 3 seconds, then disappear once again within the mirrors.
I looked at the broken mirror where the enemy had come from and his reflection changed once again, what appeared now was a large eye that seemed to see through me.
"Don’t interfere again..." (voice)
"Then don’t try to disrupt my plans." (Callidora)
"I’m going to keep the child safe, so don’t get in the way." (voice)
"Okay, but I’ll keep an eye out." (Callidora)
"..." (I)
A voice that seemed to come from all directions began to speak, but before I could say anything it once appeared from within my Blood Core, it was Callidora’s voice, her every word seemed to resonate directly into my Soul and made my heart sink body shake.
When the two finished talking, I was already in the middle of a forest with the powers of Death and Curse being even more present than the very air I breathe, Hinata was by my side.
"But what was that!?" (I)
