NOVPUBPov Karina:
Zenos’ disappearance took everyone by surprise, but I know he will find a way to return and even if he can’t do that, in this place the most suspicious thing is still our destination, Tarzor.
"Can you take care of one of them?" (Alice)
"Yes... I think..." (I)
"What are you going to do?" (I)
"I know my limitations, I will try to join the fight against those 13." (Alice)
"Try not to die." (I)
"You too." (Alice)
We smiled at each other, we knew that our duty was not only to fight but also to keep others alive, being in an area consecrated by Zenos’ power like this, neither of us can be killed here as Saints, we can also command the power here to do more than we are normally capable of.
Seeing the enemies surrounding us, they don’t seem to care that their attacks failed and that we took the battlefield more in our favor.
"Let Nicole command the others, come on." (Alice)
"Yes." (I)
As I moved forward some followed me closely, these were Ynes, Cinthia, Natasha, Elizabeth, Caitlyn, Nix and Silvia.
It didn’t take words to know why they were chosen, Zenos’ sisters are the strongest in the Dungeon, Ynes may only be a Demigod now, but she was a powerful Demon God.
Nix is one of Zenos’ most powerful Familiars and has the advantage in fighting among the stars, Cinthia has the power to cause damage directly to the mind or Soul of her enemies and Silvia, even though she is just a daughter of Zenos now, was once a World Tree, his power is not inferior to Ynes.
But everyone moved faster than I expected.
"Pick your targets." (Elizabeth)
Everyone pointed to the most suitable opponent, the 3 sisters chose first, then I chose next and the others came later, it was a rule based on everyone’s strength here.
The Legions of Death are as follows:
1. Legion of Death (Human Elderly Man): statue of an elderly man with a beard made of billions of bones together, there is a hole behind the beard in the neck area where a sphere is barely visible.
2. Legion of Death (Human Boy): The smallest of them, but in place of the top of his head is his spinning planet wearing formal metal clothing.
3. Legion of Death (Human Woman): a woman in a crystal dress, on her head there is a crystal crown where a sphere rotates.
4. Legion of Death (Tree): a tree in humanoid shape, it looks like a petrified tree with crystal leaves, it has a vertical crack in the trunk where a sphere rotates as if it were an eye.
5. Legion of Death (Lion Beastman): a stone-headed Beastman with a metal body like armor, on his forehead a sphere was firmly attached.
6. Legion of Death (Demon Man): his body was made of smooth rocks and wore an ice mantle with 2 crystal horns, between the horns was the rotating sphere.
7. Legion of Death (Elf Man): a stone Elf with his palms facing each other, between his palms is a rotating sphere.
8. Legion of Death (Celestine Woman): a woman made completely of metal, on her chest was a necklace with a hanging sphere, her wings seemed to be made of crystal.
I chose to face the elderly man, he was clearly strong and was the only one who felt a trace of Holy Power rejecting the Territory, so he must have something with him that belongs to the Gods.
I walked up to him while transforming into a Dragon, I was surprised at my calmness as I stood facing the enemy, he seemed to be waiting for me as he didn’t attack until I got close.
"Why did you attack us?" (I)
"Because they are alive."
That was the only thing he said before attacking me, his hand didn’t move from its place, but a new arm appeared with his hand already closing around me.
Even in my Dragon form it wasn’t even 1/1000th the size of a planet, but I still wasn’t afraid, I focused my Authority into the claws and the Holy Power from the surroundings gathered on its own when I moved my claws, breaking his hand the size of an island.
"< Breath of Cataclysm >" (I)
My breath attack that would normally only reshape the map of a continent gathered an absurd amount of Holy Power before opening a hole in the Legion of Death’s shoulder, my power destroyed its body and when it got closer I had a wing destroyed as specters appeared around me launching spheres of pure Death energy.
The battle continued like this for tens of minutes, every damage I did was quickly closed by attracting the pieces of rocks that was destroyed, meanwhile I also recovered from all the attacks, this includes when he destroyed my head or when he crushed my body between your palms, every time the Holy Power gathered around me healing my body in moments.
"(How to defeat what is already dead?)" (I)
While I continued to think of a way to defeat him, I was suddenly surrounded by spectral bone spears, with no time to react I had to feel my body being turned into a sieve and being almost completely destroyed.
The power contained in this attack was trying to reach my Soul, but it was consumed by Starfire and then filled my Soul with power when it was used to nourish my Soul.
The Holy Power from the surroundings was gathering around me rebuilding my body completely in moments when a crystal bird came close to me speaking in Nicole’s voice, probably one of her Golems or Lower Familiars.
"[They must be Sealed, but only you, Alice, the Heralds, and my Father’s Familiars can command the necessary Holy Power from the surroundings.]" (Nicole)
"I don’t know anything about sealing." (I) 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
"[I’m sending Loki, work together with him.]" (Nicole)
"Actually I’ve been here for a while." (Loki)
As I was listening to Nicole I could feel the energy swirling around the Legion of Death, it was at that moment when Nicole stopped talking that the energy dispersed and all the Ghosts or Specters around began to gather in the sphere behind her beard of bones.
Loki suddenly appears on the top of my head and I feel him drawing using his own blood on my forehead, I hadn’t felt it get there and even less when he started drawing.
"Lend me your Authority and use the Dragon Totem, try to channel that power into the ritual I did on your forehead and let me take care of the rest." (Loki)
"Quickly before he realizes he’s been tricked... too late..." (Loki)
"< Holy Summon: Primordial Totem >" (I)
While Loki was speaking, I knew of the limited time and was already storing enough Holy Power to summon the Primordial Totem.
As soon as I summoned it, the space behind me opened up as a Starfire Dragon came out before coiling in on itself, then it dispersed revealing a Statue of Zenos in its Dragon form inside.
I began to channel the Holy Power, the power of the Dragon Totem and my Authority into my forehead where Loki sat cross-legged in the center of the ritual he designed.
"Was you!!"
The Legion of Death seemed enraged as all the Ghosts and Specters merged into a staff in his hands whose head of the staff became the sphere he hid behind his beard, the sphere was the planet with space compressed around it and began to rotate at the tip of the spectral staff, gathering an absurd amount of death power.
"Loki, I don’t know what you’re going to do but do it now!!!" (I)
"< Sacred Ritual: Sun and Moon Seal the Dragon >" (Loki)
I suddenly felt all the Sacred Power of the Surroundings condense into the form of a Starfire Dragon reaching the tip of its staff coiling around the small planet before a Purple Sun and a Fragmented moon left the Dragon Totem to orbit the small planet.
All the power of death disperses before the vitality of the Fragmented Moon and all malice is sucked away before being incinerated by the Purple Sun.
A tornado of Holy Power forms Dragons made of silver fragments of the Moon with Purple Fire eyes, these Dragons multiplied into millions as they wrapped themselves around the Legion of Death’s huge body pulling him into the small world with no chance of escape.
"No no no no!!!"
"I need your help now, combine your Authority with mine for the final Seal." (Loki)
"< Seal >" (me/Loki)
The Sphere surrounded by Spatial power began to grow, but before returning to its planetary size again, we completed the Seal by creating a layer of slightly reddish transparent crystal around it, there were 3 rings of energy around the crystal spinning, one was the color purple, another silver color and the last one was a star crystal.
The crystal larger than my body shrinks and floats towards me, I try to touch it and immediately remove the claws as I felt my bones breaking as I look at the seemingly calm planet inside the crystal with two celestial bodies rotating around it as well as Dragon silhouettes.
"Don’t touch it, this thing is still a planet, its mass and weight is not something you can physically resist, just use your Authority to make it float near you." (Loki)
"It would be better to take it to the Communal Temple inside the Dungeon where the seal will be strengthened." (Loki)
