NOVPUBPov Samara’s:
When I landed, my power was already corrupting the area My power became chains that passed through the soles of my feet, sinking into these lands The chains, as if they were living Demons, swim within the lands, corrupting everything that is Sacred.
With each step I take towards that golden Temple, the black and purple flames light up around my feet A slow expansion of my corruption begins to connect each of my steps, leaving a dark path behind me that peels away from this brightly lit place.
"You know, I didn’t expect to find someone like you here." (I)
Saying this, I continue walking until I reach the golden Temple At that moment, several Soldiers led by a Templar of Light advance towards me. I just wave my hand and the Soldiers’ bodies decompose, with them still alive The Templar begins to scream as he falls to the ground, trapped in a mental torment in circles about his death.
I walk past him and make sure to crush the Templar’s head along with his helmet as I walk, even when his head exploded beneath my feet, I kept walking as if nothing had happened.
"No need for this drama, we both know who we are, so show yourself at once!" (I)
As soon as I walked through the doors I realized that there would be no other room to look at, this entire Temple was built with this room as the focal point, a cathedral with images full of light and clarity, how ridiculous for such an egocentric God.
"You are damned, I can feel your act of Desecration in this place."
"Your words of the law are laughable in front of me, they cannot even affect my mind, so do not waste your time, Saint of the Law." (I)
"..."
I could feel his presence from afar, standing out even among the strongest, not because he was the strongest here, but because he was a Saint of the Law, his presence completely incompatible with this place.
The reason I chose to come to you was precisely for fun, I despise all Gods of Law or Justice, there are no such things in all universes.
Those who decide the law are those at the top of power and justice also follows those with the most power, right and wrong are things that people decide for themselves without representing the rest of the world, such a thing cannot be justice if it does not have enough strength to apply to those around it.
As soon as this Saint began to speak, his voice carries the Authority of the Law that affects the mind, emotions and even the Soul of those who listen, the law has always been a restriction and that is the meaning behind this word.
His voice along with his Authority trying to invoke in me my ’crimes’ to affect my mind, then influence my emotions to feel sad, angry or guilty for my supposed ’crimes’ that were pointed out, all so that in the end he puts a restriction directly on my Soul through the Law using the fact of accepting such judgment of what is this ’crime’ that he claims I committed.
"Your law is ridiculous, your presence is so funny that I can’t help but smile." (I)
"Even the decision to be here, inside the Temple of another God, almost makes me burst out laughing." (I)
"Your attempts at provocation won’t affect me, all criminals try to step on the law this way, they try to convince themselves that they are superior to the laws or they make up excuses to not accept the crimes they commit."
I keep walking, this time my footprints of corruption can’t expand inside this Temple leaving only my footprints burning in black and purple fire.
I feel this place trying to purify my corruption and even trying to suppress me with the pressure of the Holy Power of Light, even this Saint was trying to use this place to his advantage clearly without being affected by being an ally of Baldr.
"(What to do, what to do... I’m starting to get emotional...)" (I)
"Tell me, Saint of the Law, how long are you going to hide, as we speak your allies are dying outside this Temple and every one who is trying to surround us is being killed by my chains, so your attempt to contain me is useless to you." (I)
"I realize, truly a difficult criminal to deal with, you came prepared and with a plan in place using yourself as bait to invade this sacred place."
As his words reach the entire place, footsteps are heard from the front, this place has 6 marble columns that go from the floor to the ceiling, he appears from behind the furthest column.
He is a reasonably young Human in appearance, only in his late twenties, his straight red hair is tied in a small ponytail, his silver eyes seem to be pure iron while his formal clothes seem to be better worn in a meeting for Nobles than in a military base in the middle of a war like this.
His gray and white clothes seemed too formal, which strangely tested his formal beauty, I couldn’t help but get even more excited and lick my lips in anticipation.
"(Should I break his mind? Maybe corrupt his heart? I might as well torture his Soul until he betrays his ideals...)" (I)
"There are so many options... so many options... I can’t decide..." (I)
"I am..."
"I don’t care about your name, so don’t waste our time, I can barely contain myself!" (I)
As he spoke, I stepped forward, my smile so big I could almost feel it tearing across my face, my racing heart thrilling me even more, it’s been a long time since I felt what it’s like to have a heart beating and warm blood flowing through my veins.
There are so many ideas running through my mind of what to do with this Saint that I don’t know what to do, but I’ll leave that for later with my immediate focus on capturing him, I have to avoid killing him as much as possible, it would be a waste.
"< Sacred Invocation: Chains of Divine Law >"
"< Aura Embodiment: Chains of Eclipse Desecration >" (I)
He reacted quickly to my advance, the Sacred power gushed out of him like a fountain as it crystallized into silver crystal chains, dozens of them circling around him.
But what I do is just imitating what I saw others doing; I use my Aura to bring forth an image that represents me, something I’ve been familiar with since before I died as a Saint of Life, something that constantly accompanied me in the depths of Hell and even now clothes my existence.
The feeling of being controlled, trapped and restrained in chains, my Aura condenses into two chains of black metal, one chain full of incandescent purple spikes while the other chain was full of different silver blades.
These chains do not float around me, but are attached to my arms, their tips look like the metal heads of living Dragons that advance against the Saint of the Law like butchers.
"Hahahaha... haha haahahaha..." (I)
"Come Saint, entertain me... dance with me in the middle of this war and death... hahahahaha..." (I)
"You are beyond recovery, something like you should not exist!"
"I take upon myself the responsibility of executing such a criminal!"
"Talk less and fight more!" (I)
My chains attack him, but his silver chains join together in a circular shield successfully defending my first attack before his chains try to circle mine until they reach me.
I just smiled as the Divine power ran through my body to my chains creating a tornado around the chains full of sharp blades while the other chain lit up in purple flames advancing towards the Saint who jumped back to get away from the attack.
"Hahahaha..." (I)
-----------------
Pov Zenos:
I was still tired from the last battle and from performing that massive blessing for the entire army, but the enemy was no better.
The Dragon seemed to be in one piece, but its presence was unstable and its movements were stiffer than before, so I grabbed one of its Wings throwing it away before attacking.
"< Unholy Breath >" (I)
"< Shield of Divine Light >"
"< Divine Dragon’s Barrier >"
"< Divine Moon Spear >" (I)
I combined my Divinity with the Anomalous power in a full-power breath attack before the enemy could even recover from the launch, but the one who was controlling this Dragon-shaped Divine Weapon created two barriers.
My attack hits a shield shaped like a shining sun and was only delayed by half a second before advancing even further, with this small delay he managed to create a second defensive cover, a strong light emanated from the entire Dragon before condensing in one of its arms forming a Dragon skull made of light that puts in the path of my breath attack.
My attack was made using part of the Anomalous power and as such has a life of its own, it contorts to try to circumvent that defense, but the enemy controls the arm of that Dragon to reposition the shield twice until it is hit but its shield cracked almost breaking.
I could not maintain this attack forever and with resolution I stopped the attack already positioning myself to launch with one arm, part of my Divine Weapon breaks into fragments before reforming itself into a silver Spear that I charge with my Divinity.
Using pure brute force and the Divinity within the Spear to launch a devastating attack, the entire mirrored space trembles almost to the point of tearing as my Spear travels the space between me and the enemy almost instantly reaching him before he can react after my last attack.
The Spear hits the shield, shattering it and piercing the Dragon’s metal arm. Then the belly fragments once more, becoming a rain of sharp fragments that tear the God’s body into pieces, painting the top of the Dragon’s head golden. It almost completely stops its movements with what I thought was the death of the God who controlled it.
"Come back!" (I)
With my Will, the fragments of Light reunite, sinking into my hand. Then I look again at the Dragon of Light As a Divine Weapon, it has a certain type of living spirit, but now it seemed completely still. That wasn’t right.
When I paid attention again, I saw that the golden Blood was spreading and even the small pieces of the God’s body were melting into golden blood that spread faster and faster throughout the body of that Divine Weapon. In the end, it was only a matter of seconds for the Dragon to become golden and its eyes to become alive while its presence completely mixed with that of that God.
"Damn it!" (I)
