NOVPUBPov Nix:
I was facing him, I chose any one since in the end they are all enemies, but now that I’m facing him I’m really scared, the pressure that comes from his massive size and his Aura are enormous.
"(We really never have a day of relaxation and you disappeared somewhere, master... but what bad luck.)" (I)
I couldn’t help but feel this way in this situation, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to give up.
In my Dragon form I chose not to get closer, I can feel the Specters around him invisible, he was looking at me, but I knew he was doing more than that, I could feel something trying to corrupt my Soul.
"(Good luck trying to corrupt a Soul with the power of Essence.)" (I)
"< Holy Rune: Holy Strengthening >" (I)
I use the Essence within me to create a Spiritual Rune that I place in my Soul, thereby creating a continuous flow of Sacred Power for myself in that place.
"< Eclipse Rune: Primordial Dragon’s Pressure >" (I)
This was another Rune that I created using the Power of Essence that I share with Zenos, with this no one goes, the preparations are finished.
"< Cursed Magic: Spectral World >"
"Damn..." (I)
"< Eclipse Rune: River of Stars >" (I)
Suddenly I felt like I was being pulled and I had no way to resist when the space deformed around me, before I knew it I was in the middle of a desert, looking around I saw a pair of eyes in the sky looking towards me.
But before arriving here I hurriedly used another technique creating a river of stars, with this I can control the distance using the Power of Zenos that I created before.
While I was in the middle of the desert I felt things moving beneath the sand and the strong energy of death trying to penetrate my body.
"I just need to hold on for a few more seconds." (I)

Pov Caitlyn’s:
I was looking at the chair in my hands, the fragmented Planet with green clouds around it.
"Trying to use illusions against me was funny, what a shame you didn’t last more than a few minutes." (I)
Trapping an entire planet in a nightmare was an almost impossible task for me in the past, but now it has become modernly possible, even in the past I have trapped an entire continent in my nightmares for the sake of a brief nap.
The bodies and power of the Legions of Death may be incredible, but their Souls are still unstable as are their minds I may fear facing several at the same time, but in a one-on-one fight there is no pressure.
"Where do I go now, girl?" (I)
"[Help with the other Legions of Death that Alice is facing.]" (Nicole)
"All right..." (I)
"(Zenos will pay me for dragging myself into this mess later.)" (I)
------------------
Pov Cynthia’s:
I see the broken bodies around, I feel ashamed to let these bodies be destroyed like this, they are my bodies due to the many times I have been destroyed by my opponent.
"Why are you in my way?" (I)
"You’re too aggressive, I can’t let you leave here." (Mother of the Grave)
"< Cursed Rune: Execution of Souls >" (I)
"That’s useless." (Mother of the Grave)
"< Swallow >" (Mother of the Grave)
The head of the great serpent on which it sits open to the jaws draining yet another of my attacks, all the Holy Power, Spiritual Energy and even the Essence Power I put into this attack were drained.
"< Death Magic: Dismemberment of Life >" (Mother of the Grave)
With this attack once again, an energy that I don’t know where it comes from tears off each of my limbs while my vital energy is drained along with my blood into a tombstone with my name.
Then my Soul emerges from my destroyed body like the eye of a storm of Holy Power condensing into a new body.
"Where is the master?" (I)
"I hate people who don’t listen and even more those who don’t die." (Mother of the Grave)
Fighting the Northern Legion was difficult, but I didn’t need to physically fight against such a creature, what I did was directly enter a fight against its Soul where I used my Essence to mark Sealing Runes.
The body of the Legion of Death I faced is still in the same place unable to move being sealed in its own Soul.
That’s why I decided to ignore the others and Nicole’s requests, that woman can’t see what truly matters, with our power the chances of someone dying are medium to low and even if it happens there are several ways to bring the person back in a short period of time being in this Holy place.
Our only focus should be tracking down Master Zenos, not wasting any more time fighting these creatures.
I thought they would be more difficult, but with such irregular and unstable Souls they are not that much of a challenge.
That’s why I moved towards Tarzor, if there is a place where the master could be, then it would be there or at least there would be a clue to follow.
But before I reached halfway, she appeared, destroying my body, preventing me from reaching Tarzor and it was obvious that her appearance was similar to that of the Ladies of the Grave, thus making her a Servant of Tarzor, which confirms that they are involved in the master’s disappearance Zenos.
I tried many ways to get past her or destroy her, nothing worked unfortunately, every time I was destroyed and had to create a new body taking advantage of the dense Holy Power.
"< Demonic Magic: Death Sealing >" (I)
This time I used the power of the Essence in my daggers as I advanced, the magic embedded in the daggers activates as I attack my enemy, but I was still underestimating her as she only uses her hands to grasp the blades of my daggers and the line of the Serpent coiling around my body.
"You’re very annoying, you don’t seem to listen to anything I say, so I’m going to ground you for a while." (Mother of the Grave)
"< Burial of the Fallen: Selar >" (Mother of the Grave)
Suddenly many chains come out of the tombstone with which it has been absorbing part of my Vitality each time my body was destroyed, while I was dragged to the tombstone before my petrified body became obese in it, the last thing I saw was that unfortunate woman’s smile.
"(I’m sorry master... I failed...)" (I)
-----------------
Pov Zenos:
The sword passing through the chest seemed to be passing through a large cross-shaped mouth there, the entire body seemed to be melting quickly because of the Fire coming out from within.
"I don’t accept dying like this!!!" (Erkales)
I can finally feel his presence diminishing, his Aura breaking and the never-ending pain in his voice, so I move closer, careful not to get too close, careful that he isn’t completely dead yet since I’m not strong enough to keep my power as before.
"Hinata, are you okay?" (I)
"Sleep... sleep..." (Hinata)
With these words, she enters my body before falling asleep hugging my Soul, this is one of the customs she acquired instead of entering her necklace like before, but there is not much I can do.
"Let me go!!!" (Erkales)
"..." (I)
I keep an eye on the surroundings, all the devastation we caused is falling apart, the island that was now a little far away, is gathering its fragments, the destroyed trees are growing again, the ditches and craters in the ground are disappearing with the ground returning to normal.
"(I don’t feel any type of Elemental power, nature energy or the 3 natural energies, there is also no vitality in plants, it seems more like a body recovering.)" (I)
While he was lost in thought, a mark of a 4-pointed star rises from Erkales’ body, from this mark an energy even stronger than his or almost anything I’ve felt before appears accompanied by a voice.
"Erkales falls to another predator, may his body and power nourish our enemy."
"By this stigma you will be marked eternally, so prove to us whether you are the predator or the hunted."
With these words the 4-pointed star mark flies towards me, crossing my physical body, ignoring Hinata who was embraced with my Soul and was not affected by my Essences.
This 4-point Star mark hits my Soul, getting stuck as if it had always been part of my Soul, without causing pain or anything else.
"YOU KEEP WHAT YOU KILL!!!"
This time the voice that appeared was not the same as before, it was a new voice that seemed to come from the brand itself that began to emanate an Aura full of pure hunger that expanded outside my body taking the same Dragon shape as me, completely transparent, while this illusory form opens its jaws, sucking Erkales’ body and power until there is nothing left.
I could feel the suction of Callidora trying to take this last wave of power, but to no avail, this final wave of power was purer and seemed to be complementary with the 4-pointed star mark as it went directly to my Soul.
When I looked again at where Erkales’ body was, there was nothing left, everything had melted before becoming a flow of bizarre energy that entered inside me.
The presence that formed the illusory form looked like mine in Dragon form fell apart, returning inside me.
"(I’ll let you have it.)" (Callidora)
This was the first time I heard a disappointed tone of voice from Callidora, but I wasn’t very interested in her now, that’s because I felt something struggling within the brand, a Soul.
I wouldn’t keep a Soul so close to me, especially a Soul that I recognized and was still complaining about, I controlled my Essence Core to forcibly rip that Soul out of mine and I felt it still being pulled towards the mark, so I ripped it out even more strong, taking the Infernal doll on my waist.
"(Now that is a beautiful exotic delicacy... wonderful...)" (Infernal Doll)
I heard her voice in my head when Alma was taken, then the darkness was trying to take over my consciousness from exhaustion.
"I have to stay awake..." (I)
