Pov Rosane’s:
I don’t like what’s happening, but it’s beyond my Authority to intervene.
I look at the Legions of Death, they are difficult to deal with alone and in a group it becomes worse, but it seems that the Heralds of Zenos followed Elizabeth’s advice.
"(The Sacred Territory is crude, they need to improve the control of the Sacred power, the flow of energy within and they need to know how to handle the burden of maintaining this place more equally or find a nucleus that can serve as a focal point for everyone.)" (I)
The power they were revealing was commendable, but that alone wouldn’t make them win, I was worried, but there’s little I can do here.
I opened the space crossing to be in Tarzor’s orbit, then I looked down without getting closer, I was looking from afar at the exact point where Zenos was, he who is in harmony with nature and in a way is part of nature now it stands out a lot, as if it were a bonfire burning in the middle of complete darkness in this place where the power of nature does not exist.
The creature he faced was surprising, it looked like a Dragon, but there were many inconsistencies, its presence was not that of a Dragon, its Aura contained traces of many Dragons and he did not know if any part of its Aura truly belonged to him without count that he hasn’t even shown a fit of breathing until now.
Even so he was strong, resistance to all elements, resistance to the 3 natural energies, ridiculously strong defense, even Divine power did minimal damage against him.
"What kind of monstrosity is this?" (I)
"(I’ve never seen anything like this, the closest would be Abyss Creatures, but he’s clearly not an Abyss Creature.)" (I)
Zenos’ powers were too weak to go against him, his Divine Spark might be strong due to the amount of Essences he has, but it was still incomplete, he couldn’t last long like that.
"Why are you doing this? Answer me Queen of the Grave?" (I)
"I don’t like that name, people always misunderstand my position, so call me Mother of the Grave..." (Queen of the Grave)
"Stop avoiding the question, I’m not one of the slaves on this planet and I’m also not one of the fools who agree to run away here!" (I)
"I just want to know what that creature is and why they are attacking Zenos and his group." (I)
I have never been able to understand why the Neutral Gods allow Tarzor to continue existing, this place is a disease for the entire universe, it denies the very rules of the universe simply by being here.
"I will not argue with you and what we do not..." (Queen of the Grave)
"< Divine Fairy Sword >" (I)
I summon the sword that my mother created for me, I control my power and I was ready to attack her or the creature fighting Zenos, this time the risk was too high to be tolerated.
Zenos may not yet be a God, but he saved the Fairy World and the Spirit World, he gave my sister and a friend a fresh start, I will not allow him to die here.
"Be careful when pulling out your weapon Rosane, it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve killed a God, so don’t you dare question Tarzor’s decisions." (Queen of the Grave)
Suddenly her calm facade disappears revealing the maniac she always was, ready for a fight.
"Stop..." (Tarzor)
Suddenly his voice was heard directly in my Soul, my body was frozen in place for 1 second as the Queen of the Grave fell to her knees while floating without a ground to stand on.
"You have no voice here, daughter of Aine, if you interfere I don’t mind containing you for a few centuries." (Tarzor)
"Just tell her the basics and don’t let her interfere." (Tarzor)
"How to order, Tarzor!" (Queen of the Grave)
Suddenly my body was free and my soul was shaking, but I was fine, the Queen of the Grave calmed down once again as she sat on the head of the great Serpent that is part of her tail.
"I won’t tell you much, but know that the great Gods like your Mother and Sele know what we do, have also made their own threats, so don’t bother using their names here and ask your questions." (Queen of the Grave)
When Tarzor positioned himself like that, I knew that even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to interfere, there are few times that I felt so powerless, but I at least had something to know.
"Are Zenos or any of his companions at risk to their lives?" (I)
"Yes, in fact I would be surprised if the boy Zaya chose manages to survive." (Queen of the Grave)
"And before you ask, we won’t save him if he dies, it wouldn’t make sense." (Queen of the Grave)
"..." (I)
"What creature is that?" (I)
"He has many names just like his brothers, his race is somewhat unique in all existence, they are known as Fallen Dragons, Corrupted Dragons, Dragon Eaters, Anomaly Dragons and many other names." (Queen of the Grave)
"Their characteristics... well, you must have seen and apart from what you saw, they are known to only feed on other Dragons, they devour the body, Soul and power of those they hunt." (Queen of the Grave)
"Dragon Eaters..." (I)

Pov Zenos:
"< Divine Curse: Blade of Chaos >" (I)
With a lot of effort I reached his chest, I used one of my wings to deflect his attack slightly to the side, my sword goes through his chest while I launch all the Star Flame that I can produce forward, opening the way as slowly as opening a well.
It was maybe less than 5 seconds, but it deserved several minutes of struggle to get at least half of the sword inside him, so I released the curse.
Inside his body, all the Starfire I have used so far accumulates at the tip of the sword like a cursed core strengthened by the Essence of Chaos and my Divine Spark.
"Guhhhgg!!!" (I)
Of course he wouldn’t leave me so close for so long safely, I almost didn’t manage to unleash the full power of the Curse before being thrown more than 1 kilometer away by his punch.
Baaammm!!!
I hit the ground creating a crater and he came right behind, I couldn’t stand still watching a Dragon covered in Starfire falling on top of me.
"Stop annoying me!!!"
"< Earth Rune: Underground Movement >" (I)
From the bottom of the crater I traveled underneath at high speed before emerging 2 kilometers away only to discover that it was already waiting for me with its jaws open.
"< Divine Curse: Eclipse’s Fury >" (I)
My two Divine Weapons light up with great power and illusory figures of them form around the sword as if orbiting the sword before coming together at the tip forming an Eclipse with magical circles made of Runes around them.
The enemy’s body was burning from the inside out, but no matter how much he was roaring, his presence didn’t diminish at all, I had the impression that he wasn’t even truly injured.
But the energies inside his exoskeleton were burning because of the Starfire and thanks to that his body was much more vulnerable.
I pointed my sword which this time was pointing at his mouth, the Eclipse at the tip of the sword released a beam of energy that cracked the space while releasing cursed energy that went through the mouth as well as the enemy’s entire body exiting through his stomach.
Even so, he didn’t even seem to care when he tried to swallow me, at least the attack slowed him down enough for me to escape, but he continued attacking me without showing any sign of weakness due to the wounds on him.
"(How is that thing still alive? Isn’t he even injured!?)" (I)
I tried to calm down and think a little, the hole I opened in him wasn’t closing, maybe it’s because of the curse that keeps his body covered in Starfire, but he doesn’t seem to be healing and his body seems more malleable like iron afterwards to enter the foundry.
But even with all this he acted as if none of it mattered, he attacked me without hesitation, he didn’t try to say anything to me as if it didn’t matter and he treated me like food.
"(What if I cut off his head?)" (I)
With that thought in mind, I prepared myself, gathered as much Holy power as I could and accumulated it into my Divine Weapons embedded in the Star Sword, then continued fighting exchanging blows while being pushed back by each blow.
When he ripped off one of my hands, I resisted the pain and used my tongue to pull my hand back before entering his mouth, I could feel his power trying to eat away at me and once I was inside his throat I released my power with a third big attack.
"< Sacred Starfire Slash >" (I)
I came up with some name since it was a simple attack just using the Power of Chaos with the Holy Power, everything was concentrated on the blade of the sword when I rotated cutting space itself in the process, the Starfire inside his body did nothing against me and when my blade completely cut through his head from the inside out, I emerged from his body realizing that most of my scales were melted.
"GOOD, GOOD! YOU SCREAM!!"
"That really hurt, I’m going to enjoy chewing you out really slowly for causing me so much trouble."
He had his head outside his body, but he was still speaking normally, the exoskeleton of his body moves with a horrifying energy that attaches to the other part of the exoskeleton that was in the floating head, pulling it back into place, the wound does not he healed, but his head was firmly stuck in place.
"How do I kill this bastard!!!???" (I)
