Chapter 10: Re:birth
Both sides looked at each other, ready to fight but before starting this fight. Heilon wondered how and why the Warlock of Melancholy himself was here. He had heard what Echidna said before but still, having the Warlock of Melancholy that had a similar danger level to Reinhard was worrying.
It was even snowing to attract the Great Rabbit. And to make matters worse the Black Serpent was here, a being of pure destruction with the sole purpose of ending life and reducing the population of life so that less food is necessary. Unlike the other two, this one was not made to be eaten but rather its purpose is to destroy others so it is the most powerful of the 3 Great Mabeasts and surely attracted by the influence of that Witch
Heilon: Pandora...
He muttered to himself since this was all her doing. Echidna had said it and it was the most logical answer. Now he had to be in charge of getting everyone out of there and solving the problem alone... no, he can't continue doing everything alone or he will stop depending on the people he must trusts.
Heilon knew that he could solve this problem alone, but was it right to reject the help of others? If he continued this path of doing it alone, he would become a monster and become distant from everyone.
Roy: Mama?
Roy noticed the blonde among the group. She was identical to Mother, to the Archbishop of Lust, Capella. His mother who disappeared for more than a month.
Heilon: Delta, behind me...
Emerada did as Heilon asked and stood behind him while Roy slowly showed himself to be somewhat angry. He was one of Capella's children and when she disappeared, he searched for her without success and even in desperation he began to eat away at the existence of all the members of the assassin organization.
He tried to see in their memories if there were clues as to where she could be but nothing, coming here after following the orders of his Gospel was totally worth it.
Roy: It's her, she's a mother...what have you done to her!? Mother, it's me tsu~
He called his mother but Emerada simply looked at him seriously without answering him and that silence was worse than being insulted and treated like an insect by his Capella. The person responsible for this must be the boy she was hiding behind.
Hector: Regrettable, sad, depressing that such a regrettable scene of a mother who no longer loves her son.
Lye: There are many people to eat~
He said licking his lips noticing how agitated his brother was that Mama was acting strange and her aura was similar but purer somwhat.
Rim notes that Hector was very similar to his lord Roswaal in speech and dress.
Emerada, for her part, was a little nervous. Not out of fear but because this person also seemed to know her old self. This made her anxious but Heilon held her hand to calm her down.
Heilon: Don't worry...We're here with you.
In such a situation, Heilon would try to get information and then use [Return By Death] but this time he wanted to do it the first time. All this time he wanted to use the Authority since by dying and suffering he felt that he was compensating for something. He tried to suffer as much or more than Subaru.
But it had to be better, for himself. The Authority [Mammon] would be helpful with so many people here but it would affect his companions as well. It was an Authority that should only be used when surrounded by enemies.
He wishes he had gotten the Authority from Regulus but he supposes it's normal since he didn't take the Greed Factor from him, the Greed factors he took were duplicated in Echidna's body.
He will make sure to hunt down Regulus Corneas and get his Authority [Stillness of Time]. But now he himself had to come up with a plan so he uses his now evolved Singular Gift [Imminent Information] to get information and create a solution.
Heilon feels a tingling in his brain and time begins to slow down until it stops, the colors disappear leaving Heilon in a totally gray world. His mind worked much harder and faster.
He could not move from his place but he could move his eyes and head to observe his surroundings. He was perceiving things as if it were nothing, even as he passed his gaze over the rabbits, he was able to know his exact numbers without even bothering to count them.
He could see insignificant details in everyone up to counting and seeing every hair on the Archbishops' heads without any problem, his mind made a total and detailed map of his surroundings. It was an amazing and pleasant feeling.
After analyzing his opponents and having basic information about them with the System and knowledge of the capabilities of his allies, he began to imagine possible events and scenarios. Imaginary images simulating combat.
Millions of possibilities ran through his mind. A real-time predictor of trillions of parallel simulations, so it could reinforce the future or so Heilon described it in his mind
Death.
Death.
Death.
Death.
His companions die and with them he allows himself to be murdered to try again. He was eaten by the White Whale, eaten alive by the Great Rabbit or disintegrated by the Black Serpent's venom, even turned to dust by his tongue.
He could feel all this pain as his mind simulated every sense in these real simulations to create a realistic scenario and thus more accurately predict the future. In other situations only one of her companions died.
Millions of scenarios replayed like a movie in his mind and he even saw them. He was using the mind to its full potential.
He saw which allies were perfect for each opponent since he had to divide them into teams to deal with a different problem. But the problem was still Hector, in most hypothetical scenarios, Hector was the biggest problem.
He had to get him out of the way temporarily and take care of the others. Luckily he has the perfect item for this situation although he was hesitant to use it. It was an object the size of a coin that if thrown at an opponent would 100% lock them in a dimensional prison no matter what powers the prisoner possessed.
It was a divine level item that he obtained randomly after completing a dungeon. He was very lucky to get it and planned on using it on someone like Pandora if necessary but Hector is just as much of a problem.
He could buy another one but that item is worth a fortune in the System store.
After making his decision, time slowly returned to normal along with the colors and Heilon feels his brain heat up and begin to hurt like hell. Blood even came out of his nose to the surprise of Rim who noticed it.
Before she could say anything, Heilon wiped away the blood and took a few steps forward.
Heilon: The Black Hole "Abell" will eat you all...!
He said still with blue streaks in his hair. His body trembled a little as Heilon tried to ignore the pain in his body after experiencing mental damage from his deaths and combat.
Using [Imminent Information] was perfect to plan and find the solution but it pushes his Singular Gift to the limit and the pain is overwhelming but he did not have time to progress it.
He instantly took out the small sphere being the sealed one from his inventory and threw it forcefully at Hector who raised his fist to protect himself with an invisible barrier thinking it was an attack but he didn't expect the object to break, releasing a tide of black tentacles that surround Hector.
Before he could do anything, the tentacles engulfed him in darkness and where Hecto was before, there was now a black cube. Hector was sealed for the next 3 hours. It didn't end when Heilon concentrated wind magic in his hand and threw it against the cube and when it hit, I created a wave of wind that sent the Cube flying away along with the Archbishops and the Great Mabeasts.
This gave them a few seconds and Heilon took advantage of it to give orders.
Heilon: Ryuzu and Ryuzu clones, go to the village and evacuate everyone to a safe place! Elsa and Meili, you take care of the members of the Witch Cult and the Common Mabeasts...don't let them get close to the village or kill the inhabitants.
He said quickly as the Ryuzus and Elsa next to Meili nod. After giving the order Heilon points his finger at the other team.
Heilon: Fogo and Emerada, you will take care of the Black Serpent, make him follow you to a place with space where he cannot hide in the bushes or trees and avoid at all costs being touched by its poison and tongue or you will die instantly.
He said and Fogo along with Emerada nodded quickly while Heilon pointed at the other team.
Heilon: Boya and Chado, you will take care of the Great Rabbit...keep them together and try to lock them up without leaving one outside.
Boya and Chado, like the previous teams, agree with their task without hesitation, they accepted Heilon as the leader and their order since he is the only one who apparently thought of a plan faster than anyone there.
Heilon: Luxera and Ichiro...You will take care of the White Whale, avoid its mist at all costs or you will be eliminated from the world completely, when wounded she will be doubled by 3 but the original will be the one that is furthest away healing.
Garfiel: And what about me, Cap?
He said confused as Heilon gave orders to everyone except him.
Heilon: Your job will be a little more complicated than everyone else's and that is to support all the teams mentioned but I trust you, Garfiel. See this as a test since after all, you will be the Shield of the World.
Garfiel smiles at this as he clashes his twin shields in excitement. Luxera and Ichiro understood the plan while 3 clones emerged from Heilon's back to the surprise of the boys who did not know of his cloning power, each clone possessed 25% of his mana and power.
25% seemed like a little but when you talk about Heilon's mana reserves, it was a lot and everyone must use the Authority [Mammon] to only consume mana from the environment to recharge. Each clone goes with a team to go help with the Great Beasts.
Each clone puts a hand on the backs of their new companions. Garfiel, Boya, Chado, Fogo and Ichiro to use the Authority of Lust and modify their bodies slightly to improve their gates and physical capabilities.
Although by doing so he managed to feel that none of the 5 were normal, they had something unique inside that caused Heilon to smile.
Rim: Heilon, what will I do?
She asked, trusting in the plan Heilon had.
Heilon: You and I will face the Archbishops of Gluttony. Don't give them your name, give them a fake one...believe me you won't regret it.
He said as the teams separated each to their mission with a clone of Heilon. The two Archbishops of Gluttony return from the forest.
Zosma: A plan made instantly, impressive.
Minerva: It surprises me, much faster than several generals and strategists that I have met in wars.
Echidna: I won't even bother asking what that sphere was but it seems that it managed to seal Hector.
None of them knew that Heilon had used [Imminent Information] although they did know that Heilon received damage and a bloody nose for an unknown reason but before they could ask him, the Archbishops of Gluttony interrupted.
Lye: That was very unexpected, that boy is a problem, after all he is the chosen one, the Archbishop of Envy tsu~
Roy: He's mine, tsu~!
Heilon and Rim walk towards them ready to fight although now Lye's word about Heilon being the Archbishop of Envy echoed in Rim's mind.
Lye: We already said our names, all you need to do is introduce yourself to start this amazing thing! brilliant! Perfect! Great! Excellent Feast! It would be quite polite to say their names tsu~
Heilon: Zero.
Rhyme: Rimi.
They said their fake names to prepare to fight. Rim seemed nervous although she was not weak at all. Rim was anxious as she was in front of some Archbishops, those who harmed her family causing anger to build up inside her.
Heilon, without anyone noticing, split into another clone that would take its place against the Archbishops while the original hid with Meili's Singular Gift of Invisibility. He would stay hidden by charging mana for what he would do.
Heilon: Now wait for them to finish with the enemy for now.
[White Whale]
Luxera and Ichiro ran away to have space for their fight against the White Whale. Far from the forest and far from the Sanctuary in a fairly open place. Ichiro focused a mana arrow on his bow to fire it.
To his surprise, the arrow came out with more power and speed, when it hit the whale, there was a considerable explosion causing the Whale to let out her scream, since a simple arrow really hurt her, making her focus her attention on the team.
Ichiro: I didn't expect that.
Heilon: My blessing increases all abilities and also.
Heilon begins to fly and Luxera creates wings with shadows to also fly, Ichiro feels a tickle on his back and he look back seeing black wings.
Heilon: Happy birthday, even if it's not your birthday, look at it as an early gift. You will need it.
He said to fly towards the Whale while Ichiro had to get used to his wings that Heilon gave him without realizing it thanks to the Authority of Lust.
While Ichiro was still surprised and trying to learn to use his wings, Luxera had arrived where the Whale in the sky tried to eat her but it dodged her to stay on top and create a shadow dagger to stab him in his back and start running at high speed cutting the entire back.
Heilon, for his part, takes out his pistols and when he sees how mouths appear throughout the body of the Whale that were going to spit out the mist of elimination, he begins to shoot with his pistols that spit out bullets loaded with mana that begin to explode in those mouths. causing damage to the Whale who continues to scream.
This caused those mouths to close, stopping releasing that mist and, quite annoyed, he agitated and, turning around, hit Heilon with her tail, sending him flying through the clouds.
Luxera: Heilon!
Luxera called him when she saw how he disappeared into the clouds and with more violence he stabbed a tide of shadows that then came out like spikes from the side of the whale causing the whale to continue screaming and quite angry without being able to get Luxera off her, she went down and crash her side against the ground.
Luxera had to get out of the way or she would be crushed but the Whale did not finish when she turned around and was going towards her but an arrow was shot towards the whale and before hitting her, the arrow split into hundreds that hit the side of the whale like a rain of arrows that caused small explosions.
It was Ichiro who was getting used to his wings while concentrating another Arrow. Luxera stands next to him as she concentrates a green liquid in her hands.
Ichiro: What is that?
Luxera: Corrosive acid, the Whale will enjoy it.
She said smiling as Ichiro walked a little away from her although he had to admit that the three of them alone did massive damage to the White Whale. Ichiro was surprised at himself but he couldn't continue thinking when the whale closed and puffed out its cheeks to open them letting out a sonic wave of her scream headed towards them.
Ichiro and Luxera moved out of the way to avoid receiving such an attack, but they felt the high-frequency vibrations of the whale's scream; if they received that, their eardrums would possibly explode and their organs would be damaged.
The Whale was going to start flying towards them but the clouds began to glow, Ichiro and Luxera could see electricity running through it until a bolt of lightning came out of the cloud hitting the Whale, burying it against the ground and causing an explosion of electricity being Heilon.
When he was shot at the Cloud, he took the opportunity to use the Divine Lightning Protection and his own control of electricity to begin concentrating it in his fist, using the clouds as a conductor to amplify his power of electricity and fall like lightning against the Whale.
Heilon jumped off the back of the now electrocuted Whale to see how Garfiel came out of the forest at high speed with his fist in the air and hit the White Whale from the side, sinking it. The whale feels her ribs crack and some break from the force of Garfiel's fist.
The Whale forcibly began to roll on the ground causing destruction in its path.
Even Garfiel himself was surprised at his own strength, he was stronger even than in his beast form. This blessing that his captain gave him was somewhat surprising but what surprised him most now were the wings that he now uses to fly towards the group.
Ichiro: Garfiel, good job.
Garfiel: Did you see that!? How did I hit him so hard! I don't know what you did to me, captain, but this is great!
He said, clenching his fists tightly, feeling the power run through his body. He now felt embarrassed to start a fight with Heilon when he arrived but he would never tell him.
Ichiro: For a simple clone you have quite a bit of power, who are you really?
Heilon: The new Messiah of this world, perhaps?
He said sarcastically while smiling and preparing to fight again seeing how the Whale levitates and her eyes turn blood red letting out a loud screech showing how upset she was.
Luxera: Everyone, get ready, she's very upset.
Heilon: Don't tell me.
Those mouths appeared again throughout the whale's body, but this time it was not to spit out the mist but something else that Heilon knew.
Heilon quickly used [Asmodeus] to remove his companions' sense of hearing before the Whale let out that screech that induced madness to those who heard it. Heilon's companions were confused because they stopped listening and they were scared thinking that they lost their hearing ability because of the Whale.
Heilon was not affected by the screech, although it did bother him a lot because of how sharp his hearing were.
When the scream ended, Heilon restored their hearing while sighing. His body and head still hurt after using [Imminent Information]. It was a horrible feeling since even thinking made his head hurt and quick, sudden movements caused more pain.
They all split up as the Whale ducks into the clouds while Heilon and Ichiro summon their manas bows to charge arrows.
Ichiro: Hey, did you copy my ability?
Heilon: Huh? Noooo? i create my own version, silly.
He said smiling as his hair turned completely white momentarily to once again have blue highlights to shoot his rain of arrows with Ichiro towards the clouds impacting the whale filling the clouds with blue flashes from the explosions of the arrows causing the Whale to come out of the clouds using the wind element to shoot powerful waves and wind slashes everywhere.
Everyone dodged one or another but Garfiel and Ichiro received those attacks, being thrown to the ground, destroying several trees in the process. Luxera and Heilon went at full speed and Luxera dodged a cut of wind to which Heilon took her to begin turning on his own axis to end up throwing her towards the Whale.
When Luxera arrives, she releases all the acid that she had been accumulating on the right side of her face causing the beast to roar more while the Whale's skin begins to be eaten by the acid and slowly its muscles as well.
This caused the Whale to go into a ruckus and he began to fly everywhere, flapping his fins and firing wind attacks in all directions. Luxera, with only her shadows, dives into the side of the whale and at high speed cuts off its upper fin, causing the whale to scream more.
Heilon: Luxera, be careful!
He said but the Whale turns in the air causing Luxera to separate, but she was unable to avoid the tail of the whale sending her shooting hard into the ground, creating a crater.
Luxera: Damn...All my bones.
She said spitting out blood but she was regenerating. The whale was going to go against Luxera but Heilon avoided it by concentrating spheres of mana and throwing them at the Whale causing explosions, the whale did not take this well going against Heilon, both of them getting into the clouds to continue their aerial combat.
Garfiel and Ichiro leave the forest flying at high speed into the sky. Heilon avoided the mouth of the Whale that was trying to eat him.
Daphne: Yes, he's hungry... I'm surprised that no one has haunted her in all these 400 years.
Heilon: I'm sorry to tell you this Daphne but the White Whale is too powerful for people to want to hunt it and besides, ordinary people can't eat Mabeasts like i said, they taste horrible.
Daphne: Yeah, what a shame...Then we must finish them off since they serve no purpose.
Heilon begins to fill his fists with flames and various minor spirits and Quasi Spirits since, over time, several small spirits evolved into Quasi Spirits due to Heilon's powerful spiritual affinity and his pure mana, although Heilon did not hire them, they follow and offer their help since Heilon is a spiritual user and probably the best one, after all.
Over time he would possibly create Great Spirits. Heilon's flames turned blue and he went like a rocket against the whale, hitting his side causing an explosion that would burn the entire left side and the force wave cleared the clouds.
Garfiel arrives to stand next to the Whale, Heilon and Garfiel after looking at each other and nodding, at the same time they began to hit the white whale everywhere, as if it were a punching bag, destroying almost everything. bones and damaging organs.
Garfiel: We make a good team, Captain!
Heilon quickly takes Garfiel to fly away watching as more mouths appear on the Whale's body to try to make her mad scream, but before Heilon could shoot, Ichiro at surprising speed, shoots arrows that deflect and each one enters. into the Whale's mouths and explode, silencing them before they could scream.
Heilon: Garfiel...Go to the next team, we'll take care of it from here.
Garfiel nods to leave to support another team. The Whale already giving her last effort released a blizzard of wind, pushing Heilon and Ichiro away into the clouds. When they came out of the clouds, there were 3 Whales flying around.
Ichiro: This is what you said about the cloning, right?
Heilon: Yes, the original is the one that is furthest away...The others are just copies to buy time while the real one heals.
Heilon flew forward and Ichiro followed him while the 2 clone whales went against them but some shadow tentacles grabbed the Whales and pulled them causing them to deviate, Luxera being the one who had already healed.
Luxera: I'll take care of the clones.
She said, drawing the attention of the two copies while Heilon and Ichiro flew towards the original that was far away and when she saw that they were approaching, she began to send wind cuts towards them. They dodged until they got close.
Heilon: Charge the most powerful arrow, we will finish this now that she is weakened.
Ichiro pays attention to begin loading an arrow on his bow while Heilon draws the Whale's attention by firing elemental projectiles throughout its body, buying time for Ichiro.
Ichiro, for his part, began to load his arrow but did not expect for the Whale to stop focusing on Heilon to release a powerful wave of wind against Ichiro, who was taken by surprise and was hit hard, causing him to almost lose consciousness but managed to stay in the air.
Heilon: Ichiro!
Heilon yelled at him and when he came to himself, he saw the whale's mouth open and closed, eating him.
Ichiro: !
Heilon: No!
Heilon quickly turns his guns into daggers and falls near the eye to start stabbing it until it is torn out but the Whale does not open her mouth, starting to chew and try to swallow, inside, Ichiro screamed as the teeth crushed his arm and he was being swallowed
Ichiro: No...I can't die here, not until I prove wrong to my father...
He said as he slowly closes his eyes and his consciousness begins to wander into the depths of his mind.
[Ichiro]
A small boy with hair as black as night was trying to create a mana bow but it was difficult as it instantly shattered like glass. His archery style was part of his Kinzy family lineage.
A Clan specialized in exorcising and mana techniques, but what stood out most was its specialty with archery. Create a bow of mana and shoot arrows from it with unmatched precision with the power to destroy a soul. Although they were hated by many for their disgusting gift of destroying souls, it was the value of their family.
That's why now the little boy, Ichiro, was trying to create a mana bow to shoot a tree but only the mana arrow that broke on impact made a scratch at most on the tree.
Ichiro: Not enough...
The little one said that he continued but the mana drain was too much and if he continued he was going to damage his own gate.
Ichido: Enough.
Said an adult who was approaching the young man, being his father, Ichido. His mother named him almost after his father before she died after giving birth to him. Ichiro always wanted to meet her but he only had his father who raised him until now.
Ichido: If you continue, you will be damaged and with a damaged gate, you will be useless.
He said seriously as Ichiro took a deep breath. His father was always strict with him about his teachings and traditions.
Ichiro: Yes, father.
He said respectfully. Although Ichiro respected his father, their relationship was not the best for the simple fact that Ichiro was a demi-human and was impure. You see, Ichido had an adventure with a beast woman, a Wolf woman, and from that adventure, Ichiro came out.
A taboo for the Kinzy clan but Ichido kept it a secret and decided to take care of Ichiro, perhaps because he really loved his son? Out of pity? Because of guilt? Ichiro did not know and never knew the reason but he did know that his father was really cruel to him sometimes but he understood that it was because he wanted to educate him as he was educated in his family.
Ichido: Maybe you can't since you're not a pure Kinzy...Maybe I'm wrong about you.
He said sighing to Ichiro's serious look. Those words penetrated his soul like daggers.
Ichiro: What do you mean, father?
Ichido: I'll go, Ichiro...You'll stay here.
Ichiro: Huh? You can't abandon me here! You are my father!
The son yelled at his father while trying to stop him but the father continued on his way as if nothing had happened until he reached the barrier where Ichiro released him since he knows the danger of the barrier towards someone like him, a semi-human.
Ichido: Listen to me carefully, Ichiro...your mother had great trust in you, she had faith in you and even if I don't have it, I hope you prove me wrong. I left my Kinzy clan books at home, I hope you don't disappoint me.
He said to walk away as Ichiro continued calling watching him leave but in his anger, Ichiro creates the mana bow and shoots a powerful arrow towards Ichido's head, surprising Ichiro who regrets that his anger blinded him but before he could open his mouth.
Ichido waved his hand, destroying the powerful arrow with it but when he looked at his hand, he saw a small cut. This, instead of causing anger in the older man, only caused him to smile a little.
Ichido: Maybe you really have potential after all, use that anger and become strong...Pass the trial of this Shrine and get out of here, then find me and prove me wrong.
He said to continue on his way as Ichiro falls to his knees. From that day on, Ichiro trained in his bloodline with his father's books until perfecting his bow to the point where he could temporarily create a physical bow.
Upon meeting his friends at the Sanctuary, his anger subsided a little and he ignored his father for a while. One of her best friends, Chado, was part of the rival family to his.
He never expected an event like this but he didn't care, he and Chado became great friends regardless of the bad habits of their clans.
He had gotten used to that village although that feeling continued there until the barrier was destroyed without him ever having passed the trials and being humiliated by Heilon Satsugai. This mysterious guy with a mysterious power could perhaps help him achieve his goal.
He followed him if that it is.
Ichiro opens his eyes avoiding losing consciousness and is filled with anger and while he was inside the Whale's mouth, he concentrates arrows and shoots them everywhere, sticking all over the Whale's mouth and causing explosions of mana that cause the whale open her mouth.
After ripping out the Whale's eye, Heilon sees how the Whale opens its mouth and Heilon goes into the mouth to grab Ichiro and fly out of the mouth, but first, he fills his hand with flames and gathers spirits of wind and fire to shoot a flame attack, cause a huge explosion inside the Whale's mouth, causing it to eat fire.
Heilon using the Authority of Lust to heal Ichiro's hand. Before he could say anything to him, Ichiro takes off to start loading an arrow with a lot of power now with a determined look.
Heilon: (He has strengthened his determination...In addition his aura has changed, as if his true nature had awakened)
He thought as Ichiro fired the arrow, it was with such force that it caused a powerful wave of wind behind Ichiro, the arrow tore the wind until it hit the Whale in its side and caused a large explosion that made the forest rumble.
Even snowflakes fall from trees. The whale clones begin to disappear and Luxera falls to her feet on the ground after fighting with the whale clones. She sighs a little but in front of her, a tall man in a black trench coat, long and torn with black hair, falls.
Luxera: You...
Hankook: Don't say anything.
This was the original Heilon who changed his appearance with the Capella Authority to take on the identity of Great Sage for what he would do. This Heilon jumped towards the Whale that was almost falling but Hankook hit the whale's horn at high speed, destroying the horn and then put his hand on the falling whale to use Capella's Authority.
He slowly turns the Whale into a small spider and puts it in a jar to keep in his inventory.
Ichiro: W-Who is that person?
Said Ichiro who saw a stranger appear out of nowhere and as if nothing had happened, the whale turns back into an insignificant creature after breaking its horn.
Heilon: He is the Great Sage, he is our ally apparently.
The clone said following the role as Hankook disappears while Heilon helps Ichiro lower Ichiro to the ground next to Luxera. Ichiro was surprised to learn that he was the great Sage and that Heilon knew him.
Heilon: Can you help Elsa and Meili with the Mabeasts and members of the Witch's cult?
Luxera and Ichiro nod to leave.
Solaris: Why lie to them when it was you? What is the plan here?
Echidna: I'm curious too.
Heilon: I discovered that possibly the Dragon stone reports my achievements and recognizes me as the Great Sage so I pretend that it is not me so that when this camp knows the achievements of the Great Sage, they will not know that it is me.
That was his initial plan and only people like Elsa, Luxera and Meili would know since they saw how he defeated Capella but apart from them, he couldn't let anyone else know since that would make things difficult for him. While he thinks about that the clone disappears to return his power along with his experience to the original.
[Big Rabbit]
Boya and Chado ran with hundreds of rabbits behind them, they made sure every each of the rabbits followed him, but that was the job of Heilon's clone who released his scent of the witch and great concentrations of mana to attract the great rabbit.
After running a bit, they reached an open place to have their fight. The rabbits were releasing steam, which was something unique in this universe. They heated their blood until it boiled.
Buoy: They are coming.
He said coming out of the forest with Chado and behind them the white rabbits come out following them. Heilon actually thought that he could avoid the Great Rabbit if he got ahead of the events with Roswaal but it seems that the world wanted to eat him mercilessly.
Although he was not complaining, this was better for him since this way he would put an end to the 3 Great Mabeasts once and for all. The Big Rabbit wasn't a danger if he kept them together in one place. They don't have as much speed and strength.
They only had power by multiplying like ants and with their mouths but as long as he dodge them there will be no problem. Boya surrounded himself with a mantle of lightning to disappear and like lightning cut several of the rabbits to stop his race and retreat as a wave of Rabbits jumped towards him.
Chado sent a sphere of wind that hits the wave of rabbits to keep them away from Boya who jumps back and stomps on the ground, creating a wall of ice to protect himself from the rabbits.
They eat each other, causing their blood to come out on the Ice wall, which vaporizes, and even catches fire in a red flame that melts Buoy's barrier. They were using their blood as a deadly weapon.
Heilon: We can't waste time with these rabbits...
Heilon said, releasing a tide of blue flames that disintegrates half of the rabbit army that begins to double again. A figure flies out of the forest and falls in the middle of the army of rabbits with his fist on the ground causing vibrations that disorient and even kill the nearest rabbits.
Garfiel: I've arrived!
He said to quickly jump to Heilon's side to get away from the army of rabbits.
Heilon: It's good that you're here because I'm going to do something crazy.
Garfiel: You can count on me!
He said as Heilon met with Boya and Chado to tell them the plan that they listen carefully to look at Heilon seriously.
Boya: Are you sure about this? It sounds very dangerous.
Heilon: It's supposed to be.
Heilon said to explode a rabbit that jumped at them with a mana sphere. Everyone gets into position. Heilon was the first to start running in circles while Garfiel crashes his palm into the ground and uses his earth manipulation to start creating a wall of earth in a circle while Chado and Boya prepare.
When the circle was complete, Boya surrounded his fist with lightning and Chado with wind to join his hands and shoot a tornado full of electricity that collides with Garfiel's earthen wall and surrounds him to create a small barrier of wind and electricity making the sub-element, Storm.
The rabbits tried to jump Garfiel's earthen wall but encountered the sharp electrified wind that kept them trapped in the circle.
Heilon: Garfiel, go with the other team...I'll take care of this, thank you very much.
Garfiel nods with that sharp-toothed smile to go help the next team. Heilon jumps into the sky and begins to spin while he falls towards the horde of rabbits, after spinning so many times a tornado of mana formed around him with a drill tip that went towards the rabbits like a meteorite.
When it hit, there was a tremor and the small concentrated tornado was causing a hurricane while Boya and Chado exerted force to maintain their barrier and prevent the tornado from getting out of control.
Boya: We can, we can do this...
Chado: Without a doubt, we can...
The two struggled to maintain the barrier as the mana tornado disintegrated the rabbits one by one.
Boya and Chado, like Ichiro, needed to be strong in order to leave this place in the future and meet their personal goals.
[Boya]
A blue-haired fox woman was carrying a white-haired baby in her hands. She was alone in taking care of her baby but she didn't care because even though she was alone, she had her son with her. Aquarina was the name of Boya's mother.
Aquarina: Okay, Boya...Even if it's you and me against the world, we can be happy.
The mother said with a sweet smile towards her son, stroking his white hair and then petting her son's little fox ears.
Aquarina: Boya...
The mother said smiling to kiss her baby's forehead and slowly put her finger on the baby's chest, a black tattoo in the shape of an X covers the entire chest of the infant that even surrounds his entire torso.
Aquarina: This is for your own good Boya...I hope you never understand why.
She said sadly, sealing the baby's true nature to hide it from outside forces. She did not want for them to come after her son. No one should know who her father was. She gently caresses a pendant on her neck with a serious look.
Over the years, Aquarina trained her son in everything she could. A small Boya was seen concentrating a ball of water in her hands and firing it with force, destroying a tree in half while Aquarina applauded the potential and talent of her son.
Aquarina: Very good. Very good!
He said to hug his son who reciprocated the hug with a big smile. Boya was obviously happy about his mother's praise. Aquarina was a master of the water element but her son had an affinity for all elements.
Boya: Mother, mother, when will I learn the other elements?
Aquarina: As eager as ever to learn, you are very young and just learning the element of water.
Boya: But I want more, more!
Aquarina just smiles at her son's determination to learn. He really had quite a bit of too much mana and a lot of elemental affinity. She wanted to teach him the styles of werefoxes. So years passed until Boya was 10 years old.
Boya jumped from tree to tree at high speed, holding a dead rabbit that he hunted for food and was now heading towards his home, but as he approached he noticed an unknown scent from a person he did not know, so he increased his speed even more since he did not know who this person was. He did not want to leave his only family alone with a stranger.
When he arrived, he heard his mother and an unknown person talking.
Byakuya: Where is he? I know he is here.
Aquarina: After all these years, you looks for him like it was nothing after abandoning us!? You dare to come back, Byakuya!
Byakuya: You know why I did it! I shouldn't be here, let alone have a child...I did it to protect you!
Aquarina: Lie! You always had a choice...No one had to know. If what you say is true then why are you here now!?
Byakuya: I'll take him where he belongs, with those from beyond...He's my son so he doesn't belong here. That presence behind the door must be him, right?
Boya listened to all this with his eyes open since this person was his father from what he understood, so he quickly opens the door to see his father for the first time. Every time she asked her mother about her father, she always deflected the question.
But from what he heard, it seemed that the reason was that his father didn't love him before but now wanted him back. Boya looks at his father. A tall man with long white hair and violet eyes.
But his aura, his aura was something else, he had never felt an aura like that before, as if it were from another world. Byakuya approached Boya but before he could touch him, tentacles of water grabbed the man.
Aquarina: Don't touch it!
Byakuya: He's my son too! Also, why don't I feel anything divine about him?
The man said analyzing his son, not feeling divine Mana in him. he even doubt he was his son but he had his facial features. Without a doubt she was his son even if he did not have divine mana. In an instant he destroyed the water tentacles.
Byakuya: Aquarina, don't even bother...You know you don't have a chance against me.
Boya: W-Why, why do they fight? Y-You both are my parents.
The young fox asked, not knowing why his parents were fighting. He wanted to ask his father many questions, why he left, why he came back, what he meant by saying he shouldn't have a child, but the fear of hostility in the environment prevented him. make this an unpleasant meeting.
Byakuya: Don't worry about that my son, you and I will go home and talk.
When he said that, a smile appeared on his face, but Boya noticed a hostility in his eyes. A hostility of death. Aquarina noticed this and quickly grabbed Byakuya from behind to the surprise of both of them.
Byakuya: What do you think you're doing!?
Aquarina: I saw it in your eyes, I felt it! You want to kill your own son, you want to erase the evidence!
She said very angry and when she was going to tell her son to leave, drops of blood fell on Boya's face. Byakuya had pierced Aquarina in the stomach with a wind sword, causing her to vomit blood which a bit of it fall on the face of her son who was watching this scene with a horrified look.
His innocent and young mind could not progress what had happened. His father attacked his mother and now his mother was bleeding.
Byakuya: I was going to spare your life since we had a relationship in the past, but since you are so determined to get in the way, then you will die.
Boya slowly gritted his teeth as anger was consuming him and he was going to attack Byakuya to the death. Aquarina takes the pendant from her and breaks it.
Aquarina: I'm sorry, Boya...
His mother said with a few tears as she pumped all her mana into the broken pendant creating a tornado of water that surrounds Byakuya and Aquarina.
Byakuya: This! That was a divine sealing artifact, how do you have this!?
Aquarina: Boya, my son! Take the pearl and hide it in a place where it will never be found and will never be broken. remember, I love you!
She said forcefully, spitting out blood as Byakuya tried to escape but couldn't due to the powerful divine sealing spell, technically made to encase someone of his power. Boya tried to get closer, but the tornado pushed him away.
Buoy: Mother! Mother! Mother!
He said as the tornado of water slowly compresses until only a small pearl remains on the ground. Boya slowly approaches and takes the pearl while on his knees to clench his hand with the pearl in it.
Boya: AGHH!
Boya starts crying hard. From that day on, Boya began training every day with the wish that one day he would break the Pearl and free Byakuya and avenge his mother and find answers. His mother told him to hide the pearl, but even though it hurt him, Boya had to go against that wish since he cannot leave things like that.
This person took away his only family for what seemed like his own selfish desire. He now has a pendant with the pearl, ready to break it one day when he is strong and upon meeting Heilon, a being who had a similar aura to his father, motivated him more.
[Chado]
Chado was being beaten by other children as Chado was always somehow getting into trouble or seeking conflict with the other children in the village near the Sanctuary. He was always the same group and the same children.
With a strong fist he sends one of the children flying causing terror to the others due to Chado's strength. It was always the same story, the children picked on him and it all ended with a badly injured child that worsened young Chado's reputation.
Chado as usual would go to his house where his sick grandfather would be in bed, Chado reaches out to take his hand.
Elo: Chado...you're already back.
The old man said, holding Chado's hand firmly, even the old man without looking at him knew that his grandson had gotten into trouble as usual.
Elo: Have you gotten into trouble again?
Chado: They asked for it.
Elo: You always say the same thing.
The old man said, laughing a little to cough due to age and then sitting on the bed with great effort with the help of Chado.
Chado: Grandpa, don't try too hard.
Every day, his grandfather becomes weaker and Chado was no fool, he knew that his grandfather was getting weaker and would soon pass away. That's why he always spent it with him and enjoyed every second he had with his grandfather outside of his external conflicts.
The old man gently and weakly takes his grandson's hand with a smile.
Elo: Chado...I know that the death of your parents has hurt you and you have a lot of frustration in your being, but I see a strength in you even greater than that of your parents.
Chado looks into his grandfather's eyes, his parents died 2 years ago when he was 11 years old. From that day on, Chado completely changed into someone who was conflictive.
Elo: Your hands have a lot of power, you have a lot of strength...Instead of using it to vent your anger, you should use it to protect what you want.
He said as Chado looks down at his fist. It was really difficult but he wanted to make his now only family proud.
Elo: I'll tell you something since I don't have much time left, our Clan...the Gami, belong outside of this world.
Chado listens carefully to this since he knew nothing about his family and even less that he belonged to a Clan itself. Although he didn't understand about him being out of this world.
Elo: In the future you will find out... That boy who is also in the Sanctuary, Ichiro, is part of a similar clan so you are not alone.
He said smiling slightly as he now holds Chado's hand tighter.
Elo: Use that power to protect what you want...Believe me it is the best way to use your strength.
Chado: Yes, Grandfather...
Elo: Don't be afraid of your power...Even if it's dark, embrace it to protect your loved ones.
Elo with a smile puts his hand on Chado's head and caresses him a little. After that day, Elo has passed away and Chado obviously mourns him. Chado was outside his house using a shovel to dig a grave to bury his grandfather.
Chado was sad and that frustration was growing in him but although he wanted to hit things to relieve his anger, he stopped himself when he remembered his grandfather's words. If he was going to use his anger and power, it would be to protect everything he can.
But also to find out more about his Gami Clan when he is ready to leave the Sanctuary.
Boya and Chado released more power to strengthen the barrier containing Heilon's powerful tornado of mana. That disintegrates every rabbit except one. Heilon banishes his mana tornado and uses his Authority [Leviathan] to pierce the rabbit and temporarily disable his duplication power.
Once this is done, he take the rabbit by the head to avoid being bitten and breaking the horn on its forehead and use your Authority of Lust and turn it into a simple butterfly to put it inside a jar to keep it in his inventory.
He falls in front of Boya and Chado who sigh deeply after making that barrier.
Heilon: Good job containing my tornado, without a barrier it would have done serious damage around and possibly the village nearby, although I must tell you that the rabbit was destroyed by someone else.
Boya: Another person?
He asked since he didn't see anyone else, no one had entered the tornado as far as he knew and his eyes were good enough to not have noticed anyone. he too couldn't see anything inside what happened in the tornado, but he didn't see any rabbits anywhere.
Heilon: It was a hooded man who appeared, took the last rabbit and disappeared but I recognized him, he is an ally.
Chado: Who is it?
Heilon: A friend who I promised to keep his identity secret, please don't waste your time and go support the team that protects the village.
Boya and Chado nod to leave the place as quickly as possible.
Musca: Would you really hide the truth from others?
Heilon: Yes, there are some truths that should always be kept secret...It's not about whether i trusted them or not, there are simply things that should be hidden for the greater good.
The clone said to disappear.
[Black Snake]
Fogo dodges a black tongue at high speed as he heeded Heilon's warning. Fogo and Emerada ran to a clear place while the Black Snake destroys everything in its path to follow them like a predator.
The part of the forest through which the snake passed was destroyed and trees were uprooted and flew through the skies. Pure destruction was the Black Serpent.
When the Serpent arrived at them, a clone of Heilon came out of the forest, shooting several cutting blades of mana towards the head of the snake that exploded with force upon impact, but when the cloud disappeared, there was no scratch since its hard scales protected it.
Heilon: He has good defense...
Although by increasing his mana power a little, he would be able to cause real damage but he doesn't worry since more than there is him, there is Fogo and Emerada. More than enough to defeat this monster.
The snake shot its three tongues at Emerada who in a quick movement made black scales cover her hand, making a dragon hand that protected her from the snake's tongues.
Emerada had lost her Authority of Lust but Heilon, with the same Authority, modified Emerada's body, giving her the ability to transform into at least 10 different species forms. He couldn't give her more shapes since Emerada's body couldn't handle it, but since she was more compatible than others he was able to give her 10.
The others like Elsa or Luxera could give them at most 3 forms so they could use them and they were not so powerful species. He only gave the 5 demihumans one being the harpy so that they would have wings and increase the potential of the beast blood they already possessed.
Although to increase it further, he needed more time and concentration, something he didn't have now.
Emerada returns her hand to normal. She was the strongest of the assassins, even without her Authority of Lust she was the same or stronger than before since she still had the black dragon blood giving her an improvement in all her abilities and a regeneration that almost made her immortal plus the blessing from Heilon along with his training.
Daphne: I'm really interested in what you'll do with this one...the other two aren't that big of a deal, but I made sure to turn this one into a real killing machine after all...Its purpose is to reduce the population.
The Witch of Gluttony said with a smile quite excited that they would end up with their second greatest creation since obviously the first is the Crimson Scorpion.
Heilon: Enjoy it then.
Heilon said while sighing deeply to create several fireballs around him and then kick them sending him against the Serpent that moves towards the group, receiving some of the attacks but continuing on its path towards the team.
When it arrives, it opens its mouth and tries to eat Fogo who instantly charges a sphere of green and yellow mana to throw it towards its mouth, hoping to destroy it but I didn't expect the Serpent to swallow the mana.
Now it was going to swallow Fogo but Heilon uses [Transcendental Threads] to surround the snake's jaw and force it to close its mouth to prevent it from eating Fogo and ending up falling on top of the snake's head, burying it against the ground.
The Snake frees itself from the threads in one movement and destroys them to open its mouth and focus on Heilon this time and vomit that black poison with a life of its own towards Heilon who tries to fly away, but part of the poison covers his right hand and part of his side.
Fire/Emerada: Heilon!
Even if they knew he was just a clone, they still reacted on impulse. Heilon gritted his teeth, feeling how that black poison began to disintegrate his entire arm and side, but slowly it stopped deteriorating his flesh.
Although the pain was hellish, it was nothing compared to the pain he suffered with [Imminent Information]. In that state he died more than 100 times from the Black Snake's venom in thousands of hypothetical scenarios. The pain from the snake venom was 10 times stronger in their hypothetical scenario, assuming it was more painful.
After all, [Imminent Information] increases the pain of all damage in hypothetical scenarios by 10 times to make a better prediction.
Heilon: I'm fine, don't lose concentration.
Heilon released mana, destroying the poison that was attached to him while and saw his sides affected almost to the bones, but apparently his body adapted to avoid disintegrating completely so he quickly regenerated, replacing the damaged parts with new ones with the Authority of Lust.
Before it destroyed the living poison, Emerada jumped and puffed out her cheeks to release a large pink cloud against the poison. Using [Calming Illusion] to manipulate the venom to attack the snake to the surprise of the Serpent itself as he sees his own venom being thrown on top of it.
Heilon: Good job, Delta!
Emerada simply stands guard with a long dagger made of dragon scales. Fogo felt a little guilty about the damage that Heilon received so he concentrated more mana spheres and fired them at the snake that cannot move due to the poison that is trying to consume it, opening its mouth to try to eat the mana but Fogo moved his hands and The spheres of mana deflected to impact the entire body of the Serpent, causing an explosion.
When the smoke disappeared, cracks and great damage were seen on the scales of the Serpent that roared in anger and its horn began to charge a red electricity that it shot to destroy its own poison and the lightning continued destroying much of the forest.
When he did this, Fogo and Heilon go against the snake and between them they begin to give them consecutive and chain blows all over the body until Emerada fell on top of the snake in her dragon form, crushing its head against the ground but quickly. movement he surrounded the dragon's body with his own
He was squeezing hard and Emerada was trying to escape but the Snake opens its mouth showing its mouth full of teeth to try to bite Emerada but she returns to its normal form, escaping and jumping away from the Snake.
Fogo tried to get closer but the pointed tail went against him but Fogo barely dodged it, but the Snake moved his tail, giving a powerful blow to Fogo, sending him to the ground.
Fogo: Ghn...
He spits out some blood and his hair shines a little. He was filled with anger but he restrained himself because if he lost control now, it would make the situation worse. Heilon approaches Fogo to help him up.
Heilon: Focus that anger, Fogo, come on...Let's focus energy and teach this Serpent that he is nothing against us.
Heilon began to concentrate energy in his hands, creating a sphere and Fogo copied what he did, creating his own sphere. They were both charging mana to which the Black Snake was coming towards them ready to attack but octopus tentacles came out of the ground and held it in place.
It was Emerada who pulled out several Octopus tentacles from her back and stuck them in the ground and they came out from under the snake and held it in place as previously mentioned.
Heilon: Good job, Delta! Let's go Fogo!
They both fired a beam of mana that hit the snake, causing a large explosion. The tentacles were destroyed with them and Emerada clenches her teeth a little but thanks to her black dragon blood, she regenerates them and puts them back on her back.
When the smoke disappeared, the snake's scale was almost completely destroyed and half of its head was destroyed, but it began to regenerate until its body was completely regenerated, but this time its red eyes shone.
Heilon: I didn't expect that to defeat him anyways.
He said, watching as the Snake trembled strongly and its head began to divide into several heads, with 12 heads in total, the snake had turned into some type of Hydra.
Daphne: He is in his Hydra state, which means he is using 100% of his power...Now you must finish him off, Heirun.
Emerada: Wow...
She smiled when she saw the tremendous monster in front of her as she slowly turned her hands into those of a dragon while Heilon jumped to get away, but Fogo did not have the same luck because when he was going to do so, he looked at the heads of one of the Snakes and his eyes glowed red and Fogo was hypnotized.
The heads took the opportunity to spit out all at once, a great tide of poison towards Fogo who manages to come out of the trance and surrounds himself with mana to protect himself from the poison but it covers Fogo completely.
Heilon: Fogo!
Fogo kept the mana cloak but the poison slowly ate through the cloak as it was about to consume Fogo. He felt how he was losing control and more mana was coming out of his body while he closed his eyes tightly.
[Fogo]
A man was walking with a woman through a vast forest. The man in one movement places his palm on the woman's chest and in an instant, he completely disintegrates her without mercy, leaving no trace of her.
Yamoshi: I don't need you anymore, concubine...
He said without further ado with the baby in his hand. He had what he wanted. His own son was his, so he didn't need the mother who only served to give birth to his son, which was the only thing that mattered to him.
Yamoshi: I hope the wait was worth it, Fogo.
He told his son as he took him with him to raise and train him as was customary in his family. Thus the years passed where the big muscular man trained his son until he was 8 years old.
At full speed, Fogo jumps against his father and gives him several blows and kicks that caused the ground itself to be destroyed by force, but he did not move his father an inch, who did not even defend himself from the attacks with his hands crossed.
Yamoshi: A lot of potential, a lot of attack power, but it's not even close to being enough...A total waste.
He sighed, quite disappointed in his own son, that even if he had power, it was nothing like what he expected. Another failure for his list. It wasn't the first time he had a son disappoint him.
Fogo: Father?
Yamoshi: Maybe you haven't matured enough or you're just a waste.
Those words hurt Fogo. His father never taught him love but neither did he ever teach him hate or dislike, but this was the first time he had said something like that to him.
Fogo: Forgive me for being a disappointment, father.
He said with as much respect as he could, but you could tell his voice was breaking and his eyes were filling with tears. His body trembled partly out of fear as he knew his father could be cruel sometimes with things that disappoint him.
Yamoshi: Rest in peace.
He said to Fogo's surprise that he sees how his father concentrates mana in his hand and was about to go through Fogo's head to end his life but he did not expect that at the last moment, Fogo, on impulse, seeing his life in danger, released a power from his body into corrosive mana that repelled Yamoshi's attack.
Yamoshi was knocked back by the power, it was the first time he had been pushed back by Fogo's attack and with such force. When he looks at his hand he sees that it was burning from this corrosive mana of Fogo but with his power he heals his hand instantly and then looks at Fogo.
Fogo had a unique aura that slowly disappeared with the seconds. That energy that emanated from Fogo's body completely vanishes.
Yamoshi: Interesting...That aura, that was not divine mana but something beyond. Maybe in the end you will be worth it.
He said as Fogo gasped and Yamoshi took him by the hand to jump. The force of the jump managed to destroy the ground, leaving a large crater and Yamoshi was now in the air and hit Fogo on the back of the head, turning off his mind.
When Fogo woke up, he was in a somewhat damaged and old cabin. When he gets up he sees a note next to him which he slowly picks up to read.
Note: I don't need to tell you where I will go or what I will do but I have forgiven you since you have show me something that others have not. I expect a lot from you and left you locked in this place, the Sanctuary. I want you to become stronger and master that power until I return in several years. Whether or not you leave the sanctuary will depend on you, but I hope so...Do not try to look for me or escape from me, I will find you.
That was what he read and his hair began to shine, feeling anger for his father who abandoned him, an aggressive aura surrounded him but he stops before losing control. He must train and discover that power if he wants to survive his father.
But the fact that his father wanted to kill him without hesitation caused so many negative emotions that he felt like he was going to explode at any moment and his aura was so dense that even the ground he stood on was completely broken.
He had to train to surpass his father, no, find him and teach him the mistake he made.
Fogo endured the poison as his mana aura increased and increased. He could not die here until he found his father or she found him to show him the mistake he made and why he was looking so hard for a powerful son.
He and the others have a goal so he cannot be allowed here when someone offered him a hand to continue forward with his friends. He had to strengthen his mind and take control even just a little, a little is all he needed.
Heilon was going to help Fogo but saw how the poison began to swell to glow green and finally explode, all the poison was disintegrated by Fogo's destructive mana that was floating around.
Heilon thought he lost control but notices a concentrated look. Instantly, he moves at high speed and begins to explode all the heads with his mana-filled fists. The original head vomits out a large tide of poison again and this poison begins to take the form of several black snakes.
Emerada appears and puffs out her cheeks again to shoot her pink mist at the venom again to create the illusion that her true target was the snake.
Emerada: Don't you learn that you won't be able to use that as long as I'm here-
Heilon: Don't give him ideas, Delta.
He said as he watched the snake-shaped venom cover the body of the snake who released more of his red electricity power, destroying the venom that destroyed much of his body but was regenerating. His body, scales and heads healed as Heilon and Fogo fired their mana attacks at the snake.
Large explosions filled the snake, which strengthened its scales to the maximum to reduce the damage of the explosions and after regenerating all the heads, it fired all of them except the original one at Fogo, who he dodged or destroyed using his fists. The original head is concentrated in Heilon and Emerada.
Heilon: It's time, Delta.
Emerada: I understand!
Heilon uses his manas threads and Emerada her tentacles to hold the Snake again and Garfiel comes out of the forest and with a powerful fist sinks the snake's head into the ground.
Garfiel: I'm here, Captain!
Heilon: If you have been late it means that you have already helped others.
Garfiel smiles but that smile disappears when the Serpent shakes strongly and sends Garfiel flying away to quickly shoot his tongue at Garfiel who blocks two of his tongues with his twin shields but the third was going to hit him but Heilon moved Garfiel out of the way and received the cutting of his tongue.
Garfiel, with his eyes open, sees how Heilon's hand begins to turn black. Heilon feels how his hand burned and was eaten away, but there came a point where he stopped spreading since Heilon's body stopped him. His black skin began to fall to the ground, his skin fell to the ground in a disgusting way that Garfiel looked horrified at what was happening to his captain because of him.
After the skin fell off, his hand completely regenerated and then returned to surround the snake with his threads so that Fogo and Garfiel, as if they were beasts without control, attacked the black snake, giving it a rain of blows all over while both of them released their mana auras.
The snake tries to move, but Emerada and Heilon kept it motionless in place so that it would receive all the wrath of Garfiel and Fogo's blows. Once the barrage of blows ends, they both simultaneously kick downwards on the snake's main head, burying it into the ground and raising a large cloud of dirt plus a tremor that echoes throughout the forest.
When everything clears, you see the Serpent slowly rise but he was weakened but he did not stop when he suddenly fired his three tongues at Fogo and Garfiel, there was only one blow left to kill them but this time, Garfiel plants his foot on the ground and then lifts it up, raising a wall of earth from the ground that blocks the snake's tongues.
But from among the trees, a black blur comes out and kicks the main head of the snake, sending it away while everyone sees a man with a cape, who goes against the snake that was on the ground to take its horn, taking advantage of the fact that the snake that was weak to force and break the great horn on the serpent's forehead.
Then with his authority of lust. He turns the snake into a tiny shape to put it in a jar and then put it in the inventory. Fogo concentrated a sphere of mana in his hands to attack this unknown being, but Heilon stopped him.
Heilon: Stop, he's an ally...
Hankook simply watches them to later disappear, leaving them silent after defeating the Black Serpent and with that, the 3 Great Mabeasts fell. Emerada recognized Heilon's plan and remained silent.
Heilon: You guys should go help Elsa...
Emerada didn't waste a second of time, running at full speed towards the forest while Fogo was stunned for a few seconds and then followed Emerada and then Garfiel. The clone disappears after completing its objective.
[Invasion]
Elsa ran while members of the cult threw their knives at the assassin who without any problem deflected the knives with her dagger for a monstrous speed to cut six of them at the same time. They could not react since for them, Elsa had disappeared from sight.
Elsa continued to move through the trees like a shadow while killing Mabeasts and cultists alike equally throughout the forest at high speed, as if she were the same wind. Meili, on her part, was having a slightly worse time since she had a hard time maintaining control over her Mabeasts since the Archbishops of Gluttony had greater control than hers.
She could not take control of the enemy Mabeasts and had to use all her concentration to keep those under his control. She would open her wings and some of her feathers would become sharp and hard as iron to shoot them like a rain of knives against the occultists who accompanied the Mabeasts and were heading towards the village.
She was really getting exhausted quickly, if it weren't for Heilon's blessing and training, she would have fallen exhausted long ago. She sent her Mabeasts against those controlled by Gluttony.
More members of the cult continued to appear using magic against Meili who dodged to kill them with her feathers or Mabeasts but they continued to arrive from everywhere and even though she killed hundreds, they continued to arrive. When one was killed, three replaced it and Elsa was busy elsewhere.
Meili: You guys are annoying.
She said putting her hands together, she was going to use magic that she was training and practicing under Heilon's tutelage but before she did anything, shadow spikes appeared on the ground, killing all the occultists and Mabeasts in the area.
Luxera: Did you miss me, little sister?
Said Luxera who fell on her feet in front of Meili while she smiled happy to see her older sister, Luxera.
Meili: Big sister!
She said happy that her sister came, that means they were done with the White Whale. Not only did she appear, but Ichiro also appeared, shooting a rain of arrows that crossed the forest like bullets, killing more occultists and enemy Mabeasts.
Luxera: Soon the others will come.
She said knowing that they will win. Now Meili, along with Luxera and Ichiro, go deep into the forest to continue destroying the Archbishops' army.
Elsa continued at high speed, destroying everything she came across. A fireball from an occultist stopped her from her path, forcing her to cut the ball with her dagger and then concentrate wind mana on her dagger and slash through the air. Wind shot out in the shape of a blade that divided into several small ones to cut several occultists.
Elsa: This is not funny at all~
She liked the taste of death and even though she was gutting these guys, she didn't feel anything since these occultists didn't even have will, they were just like obedient zombies with no emotions.
Seeing their guts is a bit pleasurable, but she uses them as a good warm-up after more than a month of just training. So one day she would open Heilon's belly in direct combat.
Out of nowhere she is surrounded by Mabeasts but Elsa with a smile clashes her daggers creating a strong resonance that stuns the beasts with its loud noise and in an instant creates several sagas of blood that shoots in all directions, killing all the Mabeasts that It would only increase Elsa's power since she, with her blood control, used the blood of the bodies to create more weapons to kill more enemies and thus create more blood weapons.
Simply a chain of massacre that increases with each death. It would open the belly of an occultist as more appear moving like shadows among the trees and bushes. Elsa just licks her lips and prepares her blood weapons, but lightning lights up the forest and all the occultists were cut down.
Boya: We're here.
Boya said, appearing with his daggers covered in electricity while behind him a huge Wagpig appears with its mouth open, ready to eat the young man but Chado falls like a meteorite on top of his head, crushing it and destroying his skull, killing the Wagpig but several Guiltyloves. They appeared surrounding the team.
Elsa: Well guys, it looks like we're going to have a long night.
They turned on their backs. as more Mabeasts join the Guiltyloves. In the village, the 4 clones of Ryuzu created a barrier keeping the Mabeasts and Occultist out while Ryuzu helped gather the villagers to go to a safer place.
Although Elsa and Meili had the most attention of the army, the rest attacked the village but the barrier held while the inferior bomb-like clones ran towards the Occultists and Beasts to explode.
The barrier cracks from the accumulated damage, but before it breaks, three figures fall in front of the 4 Ryuzu clones.
Garfiel: You've held up well, granny.
Garfiel said while blocking several throwing knives only by putting his twin shield in the middle. Fogo went against the Mabeasts and Emerada against the Occultists.
Bilma: Young Garf.
She said, looking at Garfiel who had a smile to go help his companions, giving them time to repair the barrier again. The entire Team came together to put an end to this invasion.
[Gluttons]
Heilon was in front of Roy and Rim was in front of Lye. The Archbishops continued with their mocking smile, showing their sharp teeth in a threat. Heilon was more attentive to Rim since he noticed that she was trembling slightly.
There was fear and anger in Rim's soul. It was building up like a balloon that was about to burst. He didn't know if it was something from her past since he never brought up the topic of the Oni sisters' past since he didn't want to go into too personal matters, but now in a situation like this it was worrying.
Heilon: (Rim...)
He wouldn't leave Rim alone in a fight against these monsters capable of erasing people from existence, he wouldn't allow a scenario like the one that happened to Rem to happen, so he would make sure to take down Roy Alphard, Lye Batenkaitos and Louis Arneb.
By finishing off Roy and Lye, he would cut Louis off from the physical world and then he could deal with her in the memory corridors in the Watchtower.
Heilon: Pandora made a serious mistake in sending all of you against me! None of you will escape from me!
He said while looking at them defiantly as Roy runs against Heilon at full speed with his fists ready. Roy uses [Leap] to disappear and appear until he reaches Heilon who blocks his fist with his palm, causing the ground to break from the force and even the surrounding trees to be thrown everywhere.
Roy had monstrous strength and speed, but it was normal. His Authority is actually better than in the original universe. Now called [Predator] which allows him to eat everything from a person. Not only his memories but his abilities and capabilities, divine protections are digested to gain more power.
Even the body disappears from existence. Although it only happens when they eat the person's name and memory. When he saw his capabilities with [Observe]. He knew that he should help Rim against them.
Heilon and Rim exchange fists at high speed, devastating everything where they went. Roy kept up with him with his martial arts, so much strength and speed to consume hundreds of warriors and adventurers in his past.
Roy: You move well, but we'll still kill you tsu~
Just then, Heilon punches Roy in the face, sending him into several trees that are destroyed in the process.
Heilon: Were you saying something?
Heilon said while making a gesture that he was not listening. Roy rushed out like lightning against Heilon who blocked with the dagger of his gun. Apparently in this world they can share their memories and powers for what Heilon see.
Roy delivered blows at high speed which Heilon continued to block with his pistols until he fired 3 bullets into Roy's belly, hitting them all, causing him to jump back to see his bleeding belly. He was in great pain, but he was slowly regenerating.
That moment, Heilon took it without hesitation to take advantage and rain blows on Roy who blocked as best he could. After healing, attack Heilon with his martial arts and tactics but he counter attack. Heilon dodges some attacks, but receives some.
Although Heilon was very strong with 25%, he still needed to consume a lot of Mana and more than Roy with [Lunar Eclipse] was a problem. Having the experience, stats, and skills of all the people he and Lye ate makes him an annoying opponent.
They both exchange martial arts blows. Heilon absorbed mana from the environment to regain power little by little. Roy managed to hit Heilon more with powerful force, but he managed to hold on.
Roy: If you withstand our blows like this, then you really are very strong. You really are the Archbishop of Envy, you are HER chosen one, The one nicknamed "Abell", tsu~
Heilon notes that apparently all the Archbishops recognize him as the Archbishop of Envy for being the chosen one of a certain she, it could be Pandora or Satella.
Heilon: I'm just warming up.
He said seriously to use the Divine Protection of lightning and appears next to Roy to kick him in the face who could not react, Heilon's speed had increased by a lot to continue the fight against Roy who continued to attack Heilon mercilessly. He created various mana weapons using the assassin techniques and skills that he got after eating everyone in the assassin organization.
But he was noticing something in Heilon. With every second that passed in their exchange of blows, Heilon became faster and stronger. Roy was starting to miss more hits and it seemed like Heilon was learning from his tactics and patterns.
Roy gave a powerful palm to Heilon's belly, knocking the air out of him but instantly, Roy received a fist in the face again, being shot against a rock and when it hits him, it completely destroys him.
Heilon quickly takes the opportunity to sacrifice [Controller] and [Pure Loyalty] to the Lust Factor to increase his power and crash his palm on the ground to use his Authority of Greed to transmute the ground and surroundings so that the trees and rocks become elastic and compress where Roy was who used his strength to try to get out, but his blows could do nothing.
Roy puffs out his cheeks and shoots a beam of mana from his mouth that destroys all the trees and rocks. He jumps out of the gap to fill his leg with the earth element and go at Heilon who turns to crash his leg into Roy's, causing a shock wave.
Heilon in a quick movement grabs Roy's leg with his tail to smash him into the ground, creating a crater with the force of the hit.
Heilon: Advantages of having a tail, don't you think?
Roy stands up, turning on the ground to free himself from the tail to attack Heilon, he opens his palm towards Heilon and shoots a large fireball at the Satusgai who shoots a ball of water to cancel the fire and create a cloud of steam.
Heilon, using his great elemental handling, absorbs the steam in his hand and then concentrates it in his hand and fires it like a smoke shotgun at Roy, pushing him away and leaving slight burns in his skin.
By combining the wind and fire elements, it creates the smoke sub element which is as fast as wind but has the same attack power as fire. Gritting his teeth, Roy strengthens himself by using Yang's affinity to go faster against Heilon to give him an assault of kicks and punches that Heilon now dodged or blocked all while his eyes glowed violet.
He was copying all his movements with [Envious Eyes] and then returning the same combo of blows that Roy receives, but before Heilon gave the last blow to his face, Roy dodges it to bite Heilon's shoulder hard and then hit him with his palm on his chest and push him away.
Roy had an even bigger smile as if he had the most macabre plan in the world.
Roy: Zero~
He said to lick his palm, it was his absolute trump card. He expected Heilon to fall to the ground and disappear, but all that happened was that Roy felt his stomach growl and then a strong nausea hit him. He covered his mouth and without being able to take it anymore, he began to vomit on the floor.
Heilon: Who would be called Zero?
Heilon let out a slight smile watching Roy vomit forcefully. Heilon takes the opportunity to take his head and smash him against the floor where his vomit was, forcing him to swallow his own vomit with dirt and then drag his entire face all over the floor, skinning it to end up kicking his face, sending him into the air to quickly grab him by the leg. and smash it into the ground, creating a crater by force.
Roy: You...used a fake name, you deceived us!
He said now annoyed with his face covered in dirt and some of his vomit as he regenerated. They felt anger for Heilon since he played with what they hate the most, his food. He used his appetite against them.
He got up quite angry and now prepared to go with all his power. He would use [Solar Eclipse] to its maximum capacity and thus take out 100% of everything he has eaten throughout his life.
A white aura covers Roy that increases and becomes aggressive, breaking the ground and stirring the wind causing a tremor in the combat field.
Heilon: His power level skyrocketed like crazy.
Fornax: But his body is working beyond its limit, if he doesn't control his mana flow well, he will explode like a balloon... He really is crazy.
Heilon: The Witch of Insanity said it, not me.
Heilon surrounds his fists with blue fire and wind to increase their power. He would make sure to drain all of Roy's energy. After observing each other for a while, they disappeared to appear in front of each other to bump their fists.
A large cloud of dirt was seen throughout the forest due to the clash of force and then explosions of colors everywhere being projectiles of manas.
Rim was running with a yellow mana staff in each hand blocking the slashes of Lye who followed her throughout the forest as they clashed their weapons against each other. Rim has remained on the defensive throughout the battle.
Lye increased his aggressiveness in combat seeing how Rim was on the defensive. He clashed his blades and struggled against Rim who, to his surprise, was very physically strong and her speed was not far behind.
But still, Lye was going to enjoy eating her existence completely and obtaining her memories along with the power latent in her, it would be a delight. So like a hungry animal, he attacked Rim with swift, deadly slashes. Rim managed to dodge or block with her staff.
For Rim, fighting was strange since in the village she could barely train due to her lack of horn and in the mansion she received little training from Roswaal and Clind since she always depended on her sisters who received more training with her although she received what was necessary.
It wasn't until a month that she had horns and felt better than ever, but the training that Heilon gave her brought her up to speed with her sisters, although there was something she always hid and that was that she always avoided fighting for fear of losing control.
She didn't want to relive 'that memory' ever again so she had to stay calm and serene if she wanted to win this battle without losing control. Blocking Lye's blades, she pushes him back into a tree and hits him in the face with her mana staff, sending him flying.
Lye quickly recovers by turning in the air to land on his feet and propel himself back towards Rim who gives him a welcome quality by bringing her staffs together and concentrating mana on the tips of them to cause an explosion directly in his face.
Lye came out of the smoke using [Leap] to disappear and appear around Rim hoping to disorient her and give her a good cut, but to his surprise, Rim also disappeared from sight to appear behind him and kick him that sends him to the ground.
That was a technique that Heilon taught her and her sisters in her training, it was called [Jumper] and as its name dictates, it is like doing a speed jump that seems to teleport being similar to [Leap].
She could increase the distance of the jump but it consumed a lot of energy. Now both of them disappeared and appeared everywhere trying to hit the other, sparks from their weapons colliding were the only things that could be seen all over the place.
Lye stops and begins to concentrate a red sphere to fire it at Rim, it divides into several rays of mana that moved as if they had a life of their own that followed Rim who was jumping between the trees until she stomps on the ground and creates several earth walls to block the mana rays that cause an explosion and destroy the earth walls.
Lye appears from behind filling his daggers with mana to make them longer and make several cuts that Rim blocks, but some cause scratches to the Oni who moves away.
Lye: You're finished, tsu~
Rim was serious until she feels a sudden dizziness while Lye exhales a violet mist on her daggers, being poison that she possessed thanks to one of the unique gifts she has. Rim only controlled her breathing and concentrated while she dodged Lye's attacks who now seeing that she was being affected by his poison.
When she staggered a little, Lye took the opportunity to crash his palm against Rim's belly but she hit Lye's face in one motion, breaking his nose and sending him away from her.
Rim had even pretended to be poisoned to take the Archbishop by surprise. She had nullified the poison in her system with pure mana. Although she received that palm blow anyway and Lye gets up with a big smile.
Lye: Thanks for the food, Rimi.
He licks his palm hoping to get all the memories and power of the Oni but the only thing he feels is the horrible sensation of nausea and how his mouth fills with vomit and then he expels it on the floor while holding his belly tightly.
Rim quickly brings her two staffs together making one longer and stronger which she uses to hit Lye's head and forcibly sends Lye's head to the ground and then she creates more golden staffs in the sky to make them rain down against the sky. stunned Lye, causing great devastation from the staffs explosions.
Rim walked away while sighing lightly as her horns threatened to appear but she restrained herself, but she didn't wait for the smoke where Lye was to clear as he was releasing waves of mana from his body as he had activated his [Solar Eclipse] to survive. to the concentrated explosions of Rim.
All that power came out of the body of the Archbishop who was now ready to use all his strength against Rim who released mana from her body and a golden aura covered her, both being ready to end up colliding against each other.
Rim, with a movement of her cane, destroys the blades of Lye's hands, who in one movement, with his mouth, bites Rim's cane and destroys it so that both of them now begin to hit each other with their bare fists. It was an aggressive exchange of fists and even kicks between the two.
Blows to their faces, chests and legs. Lye felt how Rim's speed and strength was increasing with each blow she gave, she was gradually ceasing to hold back so he also began to gain power, although very carefully since if he tried harder, his body would collapse. suffer permanent damage or even explode.
But even with all the concentration, blood began to drip from Lye's nose, eyes, and ears. The pressure was too much for his body, but the exchange of blows stopped when Rim kicked him in the stomach, causing him to fly backwards. Although he managed to land on his feet, he couldn't resist the urge to vomit blood.
Rim quickly goes to the place where Lye fired that mana attack and uses her Singular Gift, digging her palm into the ground and taking out a small pillar of earth that takes the shape of Lye and concentrates the same red attack and fires it at Lye.
Lye sees his own attack go against him. So at great speed he dodges or deflects them with a blow but most of them hit Lye, giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Rim held back her horns from going out as they threatened to do so, but their fight is interrupted when the forest to her left had some explosions and Roy was seen thrown out of the trees to fall next to Lye and Heilon came out of the trees to go to Rim's side to both release their auras together which merges together creating a larger and stronger one.
Roy: We have lost control of the White Whale and the Great Rabbit...The presence of the Black Serpent has disappeared too, tsu~
Lye: We must finish them quickly brother, tsu~
They said one after the other, they were both very damaged so they had to pool their power and mana. They raise their hands up and begin to concentrate a sphere of death made of mana and elements causing a contained chain reaction.
Rim created another long golden staff prepared for the Archbishops' attack. Lye and Roy fired that sphere of destruction with force at Heilon and Rim who were preparing. When the sphere was about to crash into them, Rim stops it by hitting the tip of the staff against the sphere and beginning to struggle against it.
Heilon takes Rim's hands and pumps mana into his hands that passes into the staff so that it doesn't break and contains the sphere that she kept pushing. Heilon could see Rim holding back. Always in training it seemed that Rim was fighting more to contain herself than to increase her power.
He never delved into her past since he knew that for the oni sisters it was a delicate topic, but this was not the time for trauma and she had to overcome her past, she had to grow just as he had to do with his past and thus both trust their companions.
Heilon: Rim...You must summon your horns and repel this attack or it will destroy the entire Sanctuary and Village!
That sphere of mana had enough power to cause the same damage as an atomic bomb. He had to repel it at all costs. His original body was ready to deflect or absorb the attack but he must use this opportunity to help Rim progress.
Rim: I-I...
She looked at Heilon doubtfully. She didn't want to summon the horns on her and possibly lose control of her power but seeing Heilon's determined look, something resonated inside her. Heilon smiles at her determinedly, trusting her completely.
Rim was very doubtful and felt bad that Heilon trusted her and that she was possibly going to disappoint him, closing her eyes tightly.
[Oni Sisters]
On a very dark night you could see the 5 red moons that shone over a village surrounded by mountains, hidden among them where there was a group of people standing in a circle as they surrounded an altar where there was a small basket that had 3 babies in it.
There were several members holding the father and mother of the babies while the Chief of the village approaches the babies.
Setanta: For us, the Oni clan, twins are a taboo but triplets are a greater sin.
The old man said with a determined look as he looked at the babies with different hair. Pink, blue and gold. The babies' mother pleaded.
Temea: Please wait, Chief!
Setanta: No! To protect our pride as a race, we must get rid of them. That's the custom of the Oni clan! It's our law!
Everyone watched in silence as Temea had her eyes filled with tears while the Elder raised his hand towards the babies while two long, sharp neon white horns emerged from his forehead, showing his great power.
Thanks to the intimidating presence of the eldest, the blue and gold haired babies began to cry out of fear while the pink haired girl watched her little sisters cry and then looked at the old man angrily, seeing him as a threat to her and her little sisters.
Out of nowhere, a bright red light surrounds her and her sisters like a barrier that repels all external danger. Everyone in the village looks quite shocked and surprised by the power of this baby.
The barrier was concentrated and was fired at the old man and to everyone's surprise, it managed to knock him away from the triplets. Setanta could only look at the pink-haired baby in surprise.
Satenta: This girl is...
He muttered to himself. She must be, without a doubt she must be the reincarnation of the Oni God. The Triplets were allowed to live since no matter what they did, Ram always responded to defend her sisters and herself.
Time passed and the Elder gave up doing anything to the triplets, even Rim, who was a disgrace for the clan since she didn't even have a horn, which was the worst for her race, he couldn't do anything to her since Ram always responded and even Rem on rare occasions.
This is how they grew until they were old enough. Now they had turned into pretty little girls. It was the day of testing and the Triplets were in front of a waterfall while the villagers and Mayor watched from behind them.
Ram was the one who raised her hand to focus mana and then cast a spell to turn that waterfall into a whirlwind of water thanks to her great control of the wind and then made it fall like rain on the entire town.
"It's really incredible the power of it"
"One true wonder"
"What great power, with only one horn!"
"I don't want to imagine if she had two horns"
Many praises towards Ram could be heard while Rem and Rim kept a little distance. They were obviously a little saddened by those words.
At home the parents always praised Ram, leaving her two younger sisters aside, always comparing them and obviously the one who had it the worst was Rim, a hornless oni. For the clan she had no value.
Quark: Good job, Ram! Rem and Rim, you should follow in your older sister's footsteps.
Temea: Don't worry dear, surely one day Rem and Rim will show us their incredible powers
The parents said with a smile. Although Rim and Rem knew that they were seeing less of him, they still kept a smile on their face for being with their family and happy for their sister Ram.
Time continued to pass and Ram continued to show his infinite talent and with each saying his potential grew while Rem tried to do the same, costing her a lot. Rim was just studying and learning how to wield and concentrate mana. She couldn't do anything extravagant like her sisters, but she would focus her energy elsewhere.
Rem also started doing housework. Ram always came back to make sure his sisters were okay. Rim, although she felt terrible about being a hindrance to her older sisters, would try hard to make them proud and would make sure to be helpful in everything else.
Ram: Everything is fine, I will be with you two always, so you don't have to worry.
She said hugging them both tightly. No matter how cruel the world is, if they are together, they will always win. Everything was perfect until that day arrived.
Rim had been woken up by her sister Rem who shook her a little in her bed.
Rem: Sister...wake up, please.
Rim: W-What's happening?
She asked while rubbing her eyes, realizing that Ram was not with them. Some strange noises were heard outside, drawing the attention of both sisters who got up together with their hands holding each other to leave through the main door of the house.
What they saw was their village in flames. Houses, trees, everything was on fire and the air was covered in ashes that dry the throat. Screams everywhere and noises. Some OnÃs could be seen fighting against some hooded men.
The Witch Cult was here and they were killing everyone without mercy. Confusion and chaos reigned throughout the place as the sisters searched for their older sister.
They saw the body of the Mayor of the village among the dead bodies and as they passed their eyes they saw their parents among the flames causing shock to both oni who fell to their knees. Rem's eyes filled with tears, but Rim let out a heartbreaking scream at seeing her parents in this state.
That scream caught the attention of the cultists who now surround the two younger sisters. They were ready to kill them but instantly, several cuts of wind wiped out all the cultists.
Ram: Rem, Rem!
Shouted the older sister who jumped in front of her sisters to quickly finish off all the remaining cultists at high speed. She didn't leave a single one.
Rem/Rim: Sister!
Both sisters said to hug her tightly. Relieved that she was okay and on her part, Ram was also relieved to see her little sisters safe. The moment did not last long when applause was heard and Ram stood guard over her with her horn shining brightly.
They saw a man who had complete golden gladiator armor covering his body along with a helmet covering his face with the cape of the witch cult tied around his waist. He slowly walked towards her while he clapped as if this was just a show.
Aldebarán: Wow...You really are the reincarnation of the Oni god, even if you are a girl it will be interesting to see how much power you have.
The man mentioned while closing a small book in his hand that he then put it inside of his armor.
Ram: Who are you?
Aldebaran: Archbishop of the Witch Cult representing Pride, Aldebaran...Nice to meet you.
He said sarcastically as he took out a handle from his waist and concentrated mana into it and created a blade made of mana, now having a sword. Ram at high speed goes against Aldebaran that it seems that she disappears from sight due to speed. Aldebaran raises his sword and blocks the slash from Ram who had a blade made of solid cutting wind in her hand.
Aldebaran: Area Liberation and then redeploy, rerun.
He muttered to himself to continue the fight. Rem and Rim had a hard time following her sister's fight against the Archbishop of Pride. Only blurs in the wind and sounds of clashing weapons. The wind is stirred strongly by the collisions of both.
It didn't matter how hard Ram tried. She couldn't hit him directly, as if he already knew all the movements and counterattacked them with force. Ram was stronger than trained warriors but still Aldebaran kept up with him, no, he was playing with her.
Ram jumps and creates a large tornado that he throws at Aldebaran who only lightly stomps on the ground and creates an earth barrier that protects him from Ram's tornado. When the attack ended, Aldebaran opened the earth to come out and wave his sword, causing the blade to shoot towards Ram like a fence that divided into several that the oni was forced to dodge using the wind to propel herself to the side, but that It was just a distraction.
Ram's legs were surrounded by threads and Aldebaran lowers his hand forcefully and Ram is dragged from the air to the floor, creating a crater in it and Ram loses all the air from her lungs.
Aldebaran: You met a horrible FATE, hm...
Ram: Why? Why do all this?
Ram said as he stands up to stare at Aldebaran who had his fist surrounded by Threads while the handle where there used to be a sword blade, is an axe made of Mana.
Aldebarán: You are just obstacles in my path...something that I must remove from the way to achieve my goal, continue improving and be strong. You stayed hidden thanks to your barrier but when your barrier was destroyed by 'that' man, I was able to find you.
Ram opens her eyes at this information, although she didn't get much out of it but that meant that he is not alone in this or at least someone collaborated with him.
Aldebaran raises his hand and a golden flame covers his fist that he shoots at Ram who dodges but just by brushing it a little, that part of her skin was completely burned and the fire upon impact with the ground causes an explosion leaving the earth red hot by the heat of those golden flames.
Both again go against each other but this time, Ram had it more difficult since Aldebaran had those strange threads and powerful flames that were a super element. The super elements are an element that takes on a different color due to mastery and now has a different effect, although this golden flame does not spread or continue burning what it touches, it has high heat to burn instantly just by touching something.
If Ram had trained a little harder she might have gotten a Super Element with the wind element. But now she had to fight and at least make the Archbishop retreat so that her sisters could escape without problem, even if it cost her own life.
Aldebaran's attacks became more frantic and aggressive against the Oni, who received one or another cut before both clashed their weapons and struggled again. They both separate and Aldebaran creates a large sphere of mana that he kicks at Ram who creates a large stake of mana that destroys the sphere.
Aldebarán: Not bad...Although you always have a weakness.
He said to give another stomp and earth in the shape of spikes began to move towards Rem and Rim who were observing everything from afar. Rem watches as an earth warp approaches her on the ground so she steps in front of Rim to slowly summon her own horn.
But before the attack came, Ram stood in front of her sisters to protect them, using her powerful wind element to destroy the earth attack, but as expected, all that was part of the plan of the Archbishop who appeared next to her. with her axe up.
The Oni sisters open their eyes to see how the man lowers his Axe and blood splashes, seeing Ram's horn fly out of the place. That day, Ram lost her horn.
Aldebaran: It's that simple...You have power, but if you lose because of something like that then you are a total waste.
Aldebaran was prepared to kill her while Rem went to stop him, but everything stopped when sparks of electricity came out of Rim's body making everyone look at her. Aldebaran could feel massive amounts of Mana concentrating on the little Oni.
Rim's eyes trembled frantically. She saw her village destroyed, her parents killed, and now her sister on the ground, bleeding. A feeling she never expected to feel in her life.
HATE.
WRATH.
CRUELTY.
Something broke in her and the mana inside her began to stir and pump strongly, becoming volatile and corrosive, as if it were boiling, it was trying to leave Rim's body but she didn't have a horn to release that charge of energy so it tried to get out in any other way.
First there were the sparks of electricity and then the aggressive yellow aura that covered it that cracked the ground and stirred the wind causing a pressure in the environment that caused Aldebaran to move away but he could not avoid the following.
A beam of pure mana was shot from Rim's mouth whose eyes were completely red from lack of sanity. The adorable and angelic Rim had become what she was, a demon.
Aldebaran blocked the attack with his shoulder but the force pushed him out of the village and caused a large explosion. When Aldebaran protected himself with the earth element, that attack managed to destroy his defenses and now he had a completely damaged hand.
The chaos did not stop there as Rim roared like an uncontrolled monster and more of that mana came out of her body. Causing disaster in the village even though it didn't matter anymore.
Rem: Sister! Sister! Rim!
Rem screamed her sister's name hoping that Rim would come to her senses but it didn't work. Rim screamed and roared as she released so much mana that she was even hurting Rem and Ram. Rim looked like she was going to explode and before that happened, a figure appears to take the older Oni sisters to fly away from there.
Seconds later, Rim releases her power causing a golden explosion that completely consumes what was left of the village. Only a huge crater remained. Rim who now had her clothes destroyed and had released all that mana. Now she see some deep blue eyes looking at her from the darkness, she thought it could be her sister Rem's but this was different, it was someone else's.
She wanted to focus her eyes to see but she couldn't and she fainted from weakness.
Aldebaran was going to approach but a rain of colored mana balls falls on him, causing elemental explosions that forced him to protect himself.
When the attack ended, he saw that Rim was gone. That figure had taken them away from him. He had lost them completely.
Aldebaran: The same one who destroyed the barrier and allowed it to wipe out the Oni Clan, saves the triplets...Ironic, but it doesn't matter, sooner or later we will meet again.
Said Aldebaran who looks annoyed at his hand damaged by Rim's attack. He then disappeared into the darkness.
Rim, for her part, woke up the next day in a bed in a luxurious place. Lying on the edges of the bed was Rem and Ram who was bandaged. Rim didn't remember anything other than being filled with hatred and seeing everything red.
The door opened and a man who looked like a jester entered. Roswaal L Mathers was the one who rescued them at the last minute. Then when her sisters get up and tell her what happened, that those bandages were due to Rim's uncontrolled power, Rim felt horrible.
She destroyed her home completely and even her parents' bodies were disintegrated by her power. Even her aura hurt her sisters. Rem also felt horrible because thanks to her weakness, her sister had to protect them and lose her horn.
The younger sisters sank deeper into their misery. So Rim was traumatized by letting herself be carried away by her power. She didn't want to feel that anger again, that hatred that consumed her. Her pure eyes changed to ones of terror.
Seeing her parents die, her village burning and seeing her sisters hurt by her power, those images repeat in her head over and over again. Although none of her sisters blamed her, she couldn't get over it or forgive herself.
Eventually letting her hair grow to cover her eyes so she wouldn't look directly at her sisters or anyone. It was her way of covering herself from the world and hiding her shame, her guilt. She really wanted to let her hair grow longer but her sisters avoided it since they didn't want it to cover almost her entire face.
...
...
...
That was Rim.
A cowardly girl who was incompetent, who always hid behind her sisters.
Someone who covers her face, her eyes.
Everything becomes dark and that darkness consumes her.
"Will you really let yourself be consumed by your own guilt? Will you give up that easily?"
Rim opens her eyes as a light penetrates that darkness and sees a person she did not expect to see in that place.
Rim: Heilon...?
Heilon: The only one there is. I ask you again, will you stay in this darkness and give up? Will you always be the shadow of your sisters?
Rim just looked at him with her eyes open to lower her gaze full of tears. She was kneeling as that darkness threatened to consume her completely.
Rim: I-I don't know! I'm afraid...you don't understand! You don't know what I've done!
Heilon: Yes, I understand and that's why I want to help you... we do everything, you have always hidden behind your hair, that's why you hid your eyes? Because of shame and guilt? I can understand you.
Rim: No! No you don't! You don't know what I'm capable of...The monster that I am, I'm not that pure girl you think! If they saw what I really am... Everyone would hate me, fear me...
Black hands came out of the darkness and grabbed Rim and pulled her deeper into that abyss. Heilon approaches and kneels in front of her to be at her level.
Heilon: So? What does it matter? You are a Oni, a Demon... But that hasn't stopped me from wanting to be your friend and take care of you like I did with Rem and Ram.
Rim opens her eyes and the darkness stops. THe hands stop surrounding her and pulling her as if those words had any effect on all that darkness. Heilon puts his hand on Rim's head and caresses it.
Heilon: I want to take care of you...I don't care how cruel you see yourself, for me you will still be that Rim...Are you afraid? Then hold my hand and use that power to make yourself strong, to protect your sisters.
He said smiling at her as Rim opens her eyes wider and the hands disappear and the darkness recedes strongly as Rim's heart fills with HOPE. What she had lost that day.
Rim: I'll really depend on you...I'll depend on my sisters to trust myself.
She said between sobs, but remembering how Rem was the same. She was cold but thanks to Heilon, Rem totally changed and she looked livelier, more cheerful and expressive.
She also wanted to smile that way, if Rem trusts Heilon, then why not her too? She wanted to be happy! She wanted to be with her sisters and look them in the eyes without shame and smile at them.
Thank them for everything they did for her.
Heilon: Then do it...Free yourself from your chains and trust me, trust your sisters, trust your power! It's not your fault!
The darkness trembled and receded to shatter like glass. Rim's eyes were open as more tears fell from her eyes.
Rim: I... I...
Heilon: Trust yourself! If you must depend on us to continue then do it but grow until you don't need us! Grow to help!
The darkness was completely broken as Rim hugged Heilon while crying as they are both engulfed by the light.
Rim opens her eyes still struggling against the enormous sphere of mana of the Archbishops to clench her teeth and the three red horns emerge from her forehead with force, showing an imposing brilliance and releasing his devastating power that everyone managed to feel.
She looks at Heilon who looked into her eyes with a smile. Rim couldn't help but smile back. She couldn't help but feel good, a weight on her was gone and something replaced it, hope or something STRONGER.
Heilon: That's it, Rim! Trust yourself just like I do...Let's do this together!
Heilon had used [Asmodeus] to connect with Rim and help her out of her darkness. Rim now without any problem, pumped her mana into her staff and forced it against the Archbishops' sphere. She repelled it without any problem away from them.
The sphere was seen moving away until a flash and a large atomic explosion was seen in the distance that made the mountains and the sanctuary tremble.
Everyone in the village looked surprised at the huge explosion. Rim, for her part, runs her hand through her bangs to get them out of the way, showing her golden eyes for the first time without the hair in the way.
She was determined and her sharp eyes showed it. Her eyes were shining as she put herself on guard.
Rim: Heilon-Kun, support me!
Heilon: That's how you talk!
Heilon said smiling as they both ran against the Archbishops who were going to move but couldn't when Heilon and Rim began to rain blows on them between them. A full round between both of them who exchanged opponents with each blow.
A kick from Rim and then a punch from Heilon. When Lye and Roy went to counterattack Heilon or Rim, they always changed places to hit him back.
Roy kicked Heilon who blocks it and then Roy receives a fist in his belly from Rim, Lye was going to hit Rim but received a kick in the face from Heilon.
Both Heilon and Rim synchronized perfectly and even more than the hungry brothers. Both brothers were at their limit and Heilon knew it.
Heilon: It's time to end this!
Rim leans back and begins to form the tip of a mana spear. Roy and Lye tried to walk away, but the sound of a whip was heard and when they looked, their bodies were covered in a thread of mana.
They were pulled by Heilon who threw them against Rim who was already waiting for the Archbishop who were stuck by the threads. Rim hits the spearhead against them and sends them flying with the spear into the sky.
Heilon falls next to Rim to join their backs while there was a huge explosion in the sky as a yellow sun shined over the entire place until it faded and only left a cloud of smoke. At high speed a figure takes the bodies of Lye and Roy. Those who were conscious but already weakened to move a muscle.
The hooded figure disappears in front of both of them. Rim tried to look for him but Heilon stopped her.
Heilon: Calm down...He's an ally, let's say I know him and believe me, those archbishops won't get out alive.
Rim: Do you know him? Who is it?
Heilon: I can't tell you, but let's say it's a big surprise. I was the one who called him when I noticed the problem.
Rim was still thinking about this and Heilon's secrets but she just sighs, accepting it since if it was Heilon, she could trust him.
Heilon: We're done...We've won.
He said smiling at her as his hair turns completely white again and he stares into Rim's eyes, it was the first time he saw them directly and this causes Rim to blush and look away while her horns disappear a little. Heilon laughs a little at this.
Heilon: You have finally freed yourself from your darkness...I can see your eyes directly, see your entire face and I must admit, you look pretty.
Rim: A-Ah? I...ah...
Rim blushes more and covers her face, starting to regret showing her face, being very embarrassed, she was going to put her bangs in her eyes but Heilon stops her.
Heilon: You're really not good with these compliments stuff, huh. Take the compliment and smile, then thank...
Rim: T-Thank you very much, Heilon-Kun...You have helped me a lot. I really needed that step and walk on my own feet instead of just drowning in my past.
She said smiling slightly to close her eyes. Heilon had other work to do.
Heilon: Your sisters will be proud of you when they see you...Go back to the village and support the others.
Rim: But Heilon... That man you locked in that strange cube is missing.
Heilon: I'll take care of that...Don't worry, I'll take care of the Warlock. So stay in the village and if anything happens, promise me that you will protect the village and the others until I return.
Rim was hesitant at first, but nods to hug him hard enough for her to retreat somewhat embarrassed.
Rim: I promise, so please...Take care of yourself.
She said to withdraw completely, heading towards the village. The Heilon clone begins to think about something he saw among Rim's memories.
Heilon: Aldebaran...In this world you are the Archbishop of Pride. Damn it, Al.
He said whispering while Satella looked away slightly and then the clone disappeared. Rim arrives at the village and sees Elsa and Luxera on top of a pile of bodies of members of the Witch Cult, sharpening their daggers.
Meili along with Emerada were watching how their Mabeasts ate the other Mabeasts while they spoke. Fogo and Chado drinking water. Boya and Ichiro sitting and resting.
Garfiel was talking to the villagers with the Ryuzu clones until he noticed Rim's presence and approached her.
Rim: I see that you have already solved everything here, im glad.
Garfiel stared at Rim with his eyes wide open to which Rim was confused when she saw Garfiel's expression.
Rim: Do I have something on my face?
Garfiel: Ah! It's nothing, it's just the first time I've seen you without those bangs covering your eyes.
Rim: Huh? Well, yes...I've had to grow up and change.
Garfiel: Where is my Captain? What happened to the Archbishops?
Rim: We have taken care of them or at least defeated them since a hooded man took him away.
Garfiel: The same thing happened to all of us, with the 3 Great Mabeasts he appeared and took them although the Captain said he was an acquaintance or at least an ally.
Rim: Now that you're done, I need a nap.
Garfiel laughs as everyone needs it, they were busy all day and night so they go to the villagers again to take a break.
[Devil Warlock]
The real Heilon had the Archbishops trapped in his thread and took them away from everyone. He drops them to grab them by their heads and drain them of what's left of their mana, leaving them passed out. He didn't want them to pull any tricks now that they were defeated.

He received the rewards to feel how his body changed internally, gaining 3 skills for each Great Mabeast. Now that he had the Archbishop passed out and at his complete mercy. He summons [Leviathan] that tentacle coming out of his shoulder.
The tentacle pierces Roy and Lye. Slowly that black liquid comes out and covers them both as if it were a cocoon, beginning the progress of extraction of the Gluttony Factor.
Daphne: I must say I'm surprised at you, Heirun.
Echidna: The whole plan worked out well.
Minerva: What are you doing to them?
Heilon: Now that they are weakened, I can extract their Authorities without any problem, although it is slow progress.
He said to close his eyes and concentrate to connect with the minds of the Archbishops who were going through the rebirth progress. Many quick memories passed through Heilon's head of their lives.
The memories passed at high speed until they stopped at one that was the last. There she was, the leader of the Witch Cult. Pandora. With that gloomy smile and deep eyes.
Pandora: In the name of the Witch of Vainglory, for your determination and firm will, I grant you the title of Gluttony along with the name of Roy Alphard and Lye Batenkaitos.
Darkness...
Only a few sobs could be heard in the darkness, and two children could be seen crying. Heilon observes them in silence and then walks and approaches them in that void that surrounded them. Both children had worn and dirty clothes.
Roy: We just wanted food...
Lye: We were just hungry...
They said one after the other in a discouraged and pitiful manner. Heilon just crouches in front of them.
Heilon: It's not your fault...You both just did what you had to do to survive.
They both look at Heilon who, for them, was an unknown person from that abyss.
Roy: Who are you?
Lye: What are you doing here?
Heilon smiles and slowly extends his hands towards them to take it.
Heilon: I am Heilon Satsugai, your hero...I come to help you.
Both brothers were confused by this but Heilon took their hands to give them confidence. He knew that they were hungry, that they felt lost, that they needed a guide and for that they must trust him.
Roy: Why help us? We don't know you.
Heilon: True but I still want to help you. You have suffered a lot and I want to help you.
Lye: Hunger...
Roy: Very hungry...Can you help us with that?
Heilon: Yes, if food is what you want then I will give you that...
They held Heilon's hands tighter, trusting him. For Heilon this seemed like a comical situation of how he gained their trust with food but what he could tell, they were like children after all.
The whole place started to glow. Heilon the Black Hole Abell had eaten the star Alfard and the star Baten Kaitos.
Heilon opens his eyes seeing that the cocoon disappeared and his tentacle returned. Lye and Roy were on the ground. He feels the factor settle inside him and once again, Heilon feels more than good. It was a pleasant feeling, he felt more complete and whole than before.

Heilon opens his eyes. He knew that Beelzebub was a powerful Authority but this was something else. His sword was no longer the most destructive thing he had in his arsenal.
Heilon stopped thinking when his teeth began to hurt and blood began to drip from his mouth.
Minerva: Heilon! Are you OK!?
Electra: He is undergoing a change...
Daphne: What happened to me is happening to you.
She said looking with a smile as Satella's astral form holds Heilon as he holds his mouth, he feels his teeth change, his jaw strengthen. His eyes burned causing him to close them tightly, his eyes were also changing.
He opened them and let everyone see how blood came out of his eyes and the change in them, resembling Daphne's without her blindfold, had some lines in the shape of fangs in his eyes. Heilon stops covering his mouth, showing his teeth as sharp as Daphne's.
The blood was vaporized by the new ability achieved by the Great Rabbit. Although it was only vaporized to cleanse Heilon. Heilon holds his belly, feeling a voracious hunger fill him and he begins to drool a rather viscous and somewhat bluish saliva.
Daphne: Heirun is feeling very hungry...
Heilon sighed heavily while some of the Witches looked at him worried while others looked at him curious about his transformation. Satella hugged him tightly and although they couldn't interact with the physical world, Heilon could feel them at least a little.
Echidna: It's really interesting...He can really possess several factors without losing itself.
He really was the Great Sage. Heilon stands up with his eyes changed and shows his new sharp teeth. Now Daphne could feel a deeper connection to Heilon for having the Gluttony Factor.
Two demonic wings came out. Being that of the Greed and Gluttony Factor. Apparently the Gluttony Factor forced the complete transformation, but it was twice as painful. All the witches looked at this with curiosity since they did not expect this.
Minerva: Are you better now?
Heilon: Yes, thank you very much for caring about me...
Hadar: What were those wings? What ARE those wings?
Heilon: In short, they are demonic wings. They come out every time I get a Sin Factor since they apparently have a demonic power that I acquire.
Echidna: Demonic Power...The Sins.
Echidna was muttering something to herself. Heilon only sighs to put away his wings and walk towards the direction where the cube fell. There was the cube, quite far away and stuck in the ground to which Heilon takes the cube with his threads to fly away from the place with the cube after leaving a clone with the newly purified Archbishops.
If he was going to fight Hector, it would be somewhere far away and clear. If he had the same level of destruction as Reinhard, he must fight in a safe place.
Danica: Are you really going to fight him?
Heilon: I have no choice.
He said a little tiredly to drop the cube quite far from the Sanctuary. Once Heilon lands on his feet, he prepares for the fight to come.
Echidna: You must keep your distance, the closer you are to him, the more effective his attacks will be. He is also a good mage like Roswaal.
She mention giving him information about Hector and his abilities. But at least he had gotten the perfect Authority to face the Demon of Melancholy himself. [Beelzebub] will be the perfect Authority to fight him.
He could break the cube but he still has an extra hour and he was going to take advantage of it to recover all his mana and have the Witches who have extensive knowledge of magic teach him their magic and spells.
To the surprise of everyone except Satella. Heilon had a much more infinite Affinity with magic than many there. At first he was only a little more decent but the more complex it was, the faster he learned and perfected them instantly.
Although he couldn't learn everything in one hour for obvious reasons, he still learned a lot in one hour. The cube started to crack and when it broke, there he was.
Hector: What have you done to me? What have you done to me? The darkness...the darkness, everything so dark...misfortune, misfortune, misfortune.
He repeated as he remembered those 3 hellish hours in that black void, being trapped there was overwhelming, since he felt as if his mind and body were separated. He didn't have any of the senses and it was only his mind, he even questioned if he really existed.
That violet aura covered him, suggesting that he was preparing to use his Authority of Melancholy.
Heilon: This time the Black Hole Abell will eat the asteroid Hektor 624.
Although none of the witches understood this black hole Abell eating stars, Satella did understand since she had knowledge of the astronomy of the world of Heilon. She understood the meanings of names and like all Witches like Archbishop they are named after constellations, stars, comets or asteroids.
Echidna: Remember what I told you...
Heilon: I know...
Hector is like the core of a planet or a black hole. He has an invisible barrier that protects him from all physical and magical attacks. Getting closer to him causes gravity to increase until it destroys the ground itself.
Hector: Her presence, her smell are in you...What have you done with Echidna?
He asked as his violet aura increased, it was an obsession that Hector felt. Heilon sighs to begin to release his own aura that counter Hector's.
They both looked at each other and Hector became depressed to sigh when he see that Heilon wanted to fight and did not even answer the question. So he closes his fist tightly to which Heilon at high speed goes against Hector who only looks discouraged.
Hector: Useless...
He said and when Heilon was close, gravity grabbed Heilon and slammed him into the ground, causing a crater, leaving Heilon immobilized by the pressure of gravity. Hector concentrates an [Invisible Impact] which is the invisible force that he uses to hit his opponents.
He uses it to hit Heilon's head, destroying his skull and thereby hoping to kill him.
Hector: Lamentable...
He said sighing, but he didn't expect Heilon's head to regenerate with the Authority of Lust and use all the strength he had to get up at high speed with all that gravity on top of him and hit Hector who was surprised but didn't feel any danger anymore. that his space barrier was going to block the attack but he couldn't have been more wrong.
Heilon's fist that was covered in a black aura upon touching the barrier, simply passed through it and hit Hector's face, sending him flying far back.
Silence reigned for several seconds. Echidna was the one whose eyes were most open. She had never managed to land a direct hit on Hector since his space barrier was almost impenetrable. Heilon looked at her fist covered in that aura.
It was his Authority [Beelzebub]. It had a defensive mode and an offensive mode. The defensive way was to cover oneself in that black layer whose main purpose is to destroy or rather, turn into nothingness everything that is supernatural. In short, Powers and phenomena. His Authority of [Beelzebub] represents the same "Void."
This defensive skill will be called [Fantasy Eater] and the offensive [Reality Eater].
Hector stands up rubbing his face because of the pain he felt from Heilon's strong fist. Once he is on his feet, he looks at Heilon seriously since now if he looked at him as a threat, there usually wouldn't be many who could hit him directly.
The real fight begins now.
After both of them staring at each other for a few moments, Heilon runs once again against Hector who fires an invisible impact towards Heilon who puts his hand in the middle. Heilon feels a light blow on his hand but it was only like a slight gust of wind thanks to [Fantasy Eater] since Hector's invisible impact was a supernatural phenomenon.
Once close to Hector, Hector clenches his fist and the gravity in front him boost by 100, causing the entire ground to be completely destroyed. But Heilon was unaffected as the black aura of [Fantasy Eater] covered him completely so Hector's altered gravity which was now termed as something supernatural, did not work.
Heilon managed to get close again and this time kicked him in the chest but Hector took the opportunity to take his leg and use Invisible Impact again but they did nothing so he had to push Heilon away who turned in the air to fall on his feet. Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee. That was Heilon style.
When Heilon walked away he began to pant hard and clutch his chest while clenching his teeth. They were effects of using [Beelzebub] for a long time. Fatigue hit him and his stamina was drained.
Heilon: (Damn...I knew there would be consequences of using it too much but damn, I feel very fatigued and tired)
Echidna: Can someone explain to me how Heilon can pass through Hector's Authority?
Satella: It is your Authority of Gluttony, [Beelzebub]. It allows him to eat anything that exists. An existential eraser.
Heilon was surprised that Satella knew about his Authority that he didn't even talk about. She was aware of the Authorities of him. But now he must focus on the Warlock.
Hector seeing the true threat that Heilon represented, takes out a small magic wand and concentrates mana.
Hector: Strengthening, reinforcement, increased reflexes, increased speed, increased strength.
He muttered to himself, using Yang spells to become more capable in combat. They both had to take the fight seriously. Heilon couldn't keep [Fantasy Eater] active all the time let alone cover his entire body so he would only cover his hands with it when he about to hit the barrier.
Heilon once again runs against Hector who preferred to stay still since it is convenient for him for Heilon to get closer, the closer he is, the more effective his Authority is. Heilon got closer and Hector instantly fired three invisible impacts that somehow Heilon dodged like a dance and he could see the large craters left by the impacts that even made the ground shake.
Hector was wondering how Heilon could see his invisible impacts, but he noticed that Heilon dodged it. Not like the first times he received it without any problem, deducing that what protected him from his attacks had a limit.
So, taking advantage of it, he concentrated more impacts and looked in the direction of Heilon, who was running towards him. The closer he was to Hector, his movement became slower as the gravity increased with every meter he got closer to the warlock until he was back on the ground. the pressure of gravity.
Heilon was using his Singular Gift to detect the threat of invisible impacts and dodge. Satella wondered why Heilon didn't use his Greed Authority in this situation which would be very useful until a thought crossed her mind.
Satella: (No matter how many times you start over...You always do the same thing)
She said smiling a little although she didn't like Heilon's plan but if it helped him get stronger then who was she to avoid it.
Hector, seeing that Heilon was immobilized, fired 3 quick invisible impacts, Heilon dodged 2 of the attacks as best he could and received the last one on his shoulder, feeling how his bones were destroyed and his muscles were torn.
He literally shattered his entire shoulder but Heilon regenerated it instantly to raise his hand and shoot several spheres at Hector but the gravity caused the spheres to hit the ground and explode, even the dust sank to the ground due to the increased gravity so Heilon fires a mana beam at Hector with such force that gravity failed to deflect it against the ground and ended up impacting him.
But the invisible barrier protected him. He has two capable defenses, Gravity and Invisible Barrier. Hector fires an invisible impact that hits Heilon in the stomach and he feels like his stomach was crushed and he vomited blood.
Minerva: Heilon!
Asta: Breathe...
Minerva, being the airhead that she is, punched Heilon in an attempt to heal him but her fist only went through him in a rather stupid way. This is healed with his Authority and his blood vaporizes, recovering some of the lost energy.
Heilon jumps hard backwards, moving away to put distance between them. He had noticed something. That attack on his stomach was only half the damage. It was weaker.
Heilon: I understand...
Hector couldn't maximize offense or defense at the same time. He must focus and decide between defense or offense. If he put his defenses at a 100% then his offensive would be minimal and vice versa. This was a weakness that he was really going to exploit.
Heilon creates several clones that surround Hector and all concentrate several magic circles to give a shower of magic from all directions, Hector looked at this and obviously used his Authority to enter defense mode.
All the attacks hit, there being an explosion of multiple colors that Heilon takes advantage of to get closer to Hector while the clones disappear after firing their magic, gravity was slowing down Heilon but it was no longer sinking him to the ground. Heilon resisted gravity and managed to get close to Hector to break through the barrier.
Hector opens his eyes at this as gravity was supposed to have stopped him long enough, but Heilon was literally in his face. Heilon gave him an assault of punches and kicks. Hector blocked a few to put his palm on Heilon's chest and send him flying away with an invisible force.
Heilon tried to stick to the ground to avoid being dragged further but the force was too much so he crashed into several trees, rocks and finally the mountain that opened in half due to the force of the impact. Heilon feels almost all of his bones breaking and his organs being pierced by stone or his own bones.
Blood comes out of his nose and mouth while he focuses on regenerating to get up, but Hector does not allow it and now focuses his gravity zone on where Heilon is. Heilon feels how gravity increases and his legs sink against the ground, the mountain itself was being deformed by gravity.
But Heilon wasn't falling to his knees. He walked slowly, leaving small craters in his footsteps. Heilon's body was adapting to gravity and Hector noticed this and became serious as this represented a bigger problem.
But using his gravity field far enough consumed a lot of energy and caused a lot of fatigue. So he puts his gravity field back around him. Heilon jumps forward, breaking the ground from the force of his momentum.
Hector impulsively waves his hand and an invisible force comes out like a wave that tears the entire ground in the direction of Heilon. It was so strong that the ground was deformed and there was a strong earthquake. Heilon received the impact and his body received quite a bit of damage. It was an invisible impact but on a large scale but his speed had increased and he reached the gravity field.
It didn't stop him as much as Hector expected. Heilon ran without being affected much by gravity, Hector was going to shoot another invisible wave but Heilon shoots a mana beam at Hector who had to stop his attack to focus on the barrier to block Heilon's powerful attack and not be able to attack.
The energy diverted from the barrier destroys everything around it. Even the mountains were cut like butter by Heilon's lightning, there Hector knew that he had to block the manas attacks or he would truly suffer. Heilon would have taken the opportunity to approach and cross the barrier once again with [Fantasy Eater] to start raining blows on her.
Hector blocked some as best he could or dodged others, but he felt his mana being drained with each blocked blow. Heilon's blows were draining his mana.
Hector: Get off me! Melancholia!
He said annoyed for the first time and quickly uses his gravity push to push Heilon away and give 10 invisible hits to Heilon's entire body. Heilon clenches his teeth tightly feeling the inside of him being damaged, but not as much as before and Hector sees this.
His impacts were not having as much effect as the first time. Heilon's body was adapting to gravity and these invisible impacts. Heilon feels how his body felt like rubber.
Hector seeing that it was not working so he pushed Heilon with a wave who was thrown backwards. Hector tried to trap Heilon with an invisible force.
System: An external hostile influence has been detected, Lawbreaker has erased the influence.
Hector was unable to catch Heilon because of an unknown barrier. Hector must have used one of his strongest gravity techniques. He pointed his finger at Heilon who quickly moved to the side not knowing what Hector was planning. What happened in the place where I was before, a small black hole began to form and began to grow in size.
The black hole was Hector's most powerful weapon. A hole in space that swallows everything in the area. That was Hector's most powerful attack, although it consumed large amounts of energy and required all possible concentration to create and expand or move it.
Although Heilon moved away from the area, he was being sucked by the growing black hole, increasing the absorption and Heilon nailed his blades against the ground trying not to be consumed by the black hole.
Several of the Witches shouted his name but the ground couldn't hold it and Heilon was dragged towards the black hole that swallowed him completely after stretching him.
Darkness...
There was only darkness...
Heilon couldn't move or feel anything. It was similar to the embrace of death, but he was not coming back...
Maybe his body was destroyed and his Authority was not working or the black hole was really a type of sealing. He had felt his being being destroyed down to the atoms to be consumed by the black hole. So why wasn't he dead?
Was it between life or death? Or maybe he really is dead and he's trapped in the void, in limbo...
No.
He can't give up here. Not after coming this far. It must continue, it must survive. His determination and desire to survive filled him like a flame.
He felt alive but an infernal pain filled his being. He could feel his body again but that was the worst thing he could happen as he felt as if his body was disintegrating and his cells were being destroyed one by one.
But no. HE WAS NOT GOING TO DIE HERE. He would get out of here and even if he has to revive somehow to continue, he must do it!
System: Alert-The Authority of Envy [Return By Death] has completely mutated and developed a new Authority following the user's strong wishes.
-Respawn By Death: The user after dying can choose between using [Respawn By Death] or [Respawn By Death]. If you decide to use [Respawn by Death], the user will revive in a new body fully healed and recovered while the old one becomes miasma but the user is rejuvenated by one year. He only has 3 attempts before [Respawn By Death] cannot be used and he must use [Return By Death]. The attempts and the user's original age will eventually be recovered.
That was exactly what he needed. That was his exact wish.
Hector outside slowly closed his black hole seeing that he finally finished off such a problematic person but he saw a mist behind him taking shape inside his invisible barrier.
Hector: You!
He said to turn around and create a mana barrier but Heilon's kick breaks the barrier and hits Hector and this time, he is thrown against several rocks, destroying them.
Hector comes out of the crater while a trickle of blood runs down his mouth, to which he uses the water element to heal himself a little. He had taken the opportunity to touch Heilon at the last moment to use his other technique. He could focus gravity on a point or on a person he touched.
Hector clenches his fist hoping that the gravity so strong to crush the world would be enough. Hector looks at Heilon and notices something that makes him open his eyes. Heilon looked younger than he was and had a smile.
Heilon had a demented look with a smile. Heilon felt his blood boiling and his heart pumping hard and he felt a flame inside him. He was excited for this match.
Something inside him had woken up and electricity was coming out of his head as if something was trying to get out. Some of his hair was turning red.
System: An external hostile influence has been detected, Lawbreaker has erased-
Heilon: No! Allow this!
Lawabreaker did not protect Heilon from Hector's influence, allowing that gravity to crush him. He feels his bones crack, break and twist. Heilon was being crushed, but slowly his body stopped being twisted and crushed.
It began to regenerate and the blood to vaporize. Hector noticed that his gravity power was losing effect every second.
Hector: (I understand, Adaptation and Reactive Evolution...is it his Singular Gift? Oh the power of his lineage? No, the miasma in him is just as powerful as that of the witches...he must have an Authority. Unfortunately, melancholy!)
He regretted having to face such a troublesome person. Hector stops focusing gravity offensively and uses it as a support and leaves the crater to stomp causing a wave that begins to crack and open the entire earth and then closes his fist and creates several transparent spheres.
Heilon would see this as he began to run towards Hector who eliminated his own gravity and jumped into the skies. Since he had no gravity, he could fly. Hector throws those transparent spheres in all directions and these spheres, as if they were gravitational cores, began to attract rocks from the ground and bring them together.
Small planetoids were created that looked like huge asteroids. Heilon looked at this with a slight smile and more of those red rays. Hector waves his hand forward and the planetoids fall like meteorites.
Heilon once again creates several clones and they all concentrate power to fire a beam of mana that hits the planetoids, stopping them in their tracks, but Hector had pulled up several fairly big planetoids and threw them hard at Heilon.
Hector: What a disgrace...
He said as all the planetoids collided with each other and with force fell on top of Heilon causing a great roar and earthquake that the entire continent felt. Hector looked at the large cloud of dirt and smoke for a second, hoping that this would finish off Heilon. But from one moment to the next, red rays began to appear everywhere and slight tremors came out of the crater.
Then a large beam of red Mana comes out of the black cloud that reaches to the sky and hits a barrier high in the sky.
Reinhard who was walking through the capital in the direction of the castle since he was called there during the night. Screams were heard and an earthquake was felt throughout the place. Reinhard looked around to make sure everything was okay, seeing how people were leaving their houses scared.
Everyone was awakened from their sleeps by the strong tremors.
Once he makes sure everyone was okay, he jumps to the roof of one of the buildings to investigate and notices that far away from the capital there was a large cloud of dirt that stretched into the skies as if an active volcano had erupted. That had to cause an earthquake across the continent.
What happened next left Reinhard's eyes wide open as a large beam of red mana came out of the cloud towards the sky like a large pillar hitting a barrier in the sky. Reinhard recognizes that red energy. He was there that day when he saw it for the first time.
Reinhard: Heilon...
Reinhard said with concern since this time it was much more powerful than the last time.
In the Sanctuary, all the demihumans were looking at the sky in terror. The earthquake for them was a total disaster and the noise was quite loud. Watching a large cloud of dirt rise and then a red bolt of lightning shoot into the sky.
Rim looked worriedly at the sky knowing that it was Heilon fighting with the Witcher. Garfiel watched, clenching his teeth tightly.
Boya and Ichiro watched worriedly as Fogo and Chado kept the villagers safe.
Chado: What a disaster...
He also said very worried while the assassins looked calmly, trusting the man who defeated them to get out of this.
Ryuzu was a little scared since it wasn't long ago that she woke up to be in the middle of a conflict. Her clones had given her all the information about what had happened, but it was a lot to digest in one night.
The 4 clones, Arma, Bilma, Delma and Shima protected her. Something that made her feel safe and calmer.
Shima: Calm down...That Young Man, Heilon. He is much stronger than he showed.
Delma: Yes, after all I finished off the 5 guardians of the Sanctuary.
She said referring to Garfiel and his friends.
Rim was very anxious and quite worried seeing the chaos.
Rim: Heilon-kun!
She screams worriedly, wanting to go but stops when she remembers the promise she made to Heilon to stay and protect the village in his absence. She sees how that pillar of mana breaks the invisible barrier of the sky and his aura spreads in the night sky like a great star.
Even more powerful than last time at the Christmas event as Heilon called it. The red mana pillar disappears and the barrier in the sky that looked like a broken mirror slowly repairs itself to completion and disappears.
Hector looked at the cloud and blood red eyes could be seen shining and then the cloud was completely cleared by an aggressive red aura, revealing a Heilon who was looking at Hector with a big smile, having his red eyes and two red horns coming out of him. his head releasing red electricity in all directions.
What was trying so hard to get out of Heilon finally woke up completely. It was the Oni God mode that could not awaken until now due to the heat of combat.
These horns, instead of coming out of Heilon's forehead, came out of his head like true demonic horns. A large amount of steam came out of Heilon's mouth.
Heilon's body was changing thanks to the complete awakening of this part of him that was finally restored, feeling more complete than before while his hair turned almost completely red.
Heilon: EUFORIA!
He shouted loudly and his divine aura increased with force. It was obvious that he was in a state of euphoria and happiness. Hector looked at this with wide eyes as this aura he could not feel the taste of him.
Every mana has a unique essence like a person's unique scent, but right now Heilon's didn't have any.
Hector: This is...Divine Mana?
He recognized that mana without a detectable essence was divine and could not be met with normal mana.
System: Congratulations-A fragment of four has been fully restored.
-Oni God: The demonic divine form being the top of the demonic hierarchy.
Heilon: Hector, now it's a Divine Demon against a Warlock Devil, we'll see who can win! HA HA HA!
Hector: I hate being called that name of the Devil of Melancholy...I hate it, it hurts me, it disgusts me.
To Hector, Heilon had completely lost his mind. Heilon laughs as if it were all a joke and that bothered Hector, that someone being so happy in front of him bothered him. After all he was the Warlock of Melancholy.
He never expected that in searching for Echidna, he would encounter such a monster with the appearance of a young boy. A demon as could be seen now.
Heilon, for his part, was panting with a big smile and steam continued to come out of his mouth, feeling how his multiple hearts were now beating in his body. His body had changed when he completed his Oni transformation and managed to summon his horns.
His plan of using Hector as a powerful opponent to force his evolution to awaken its horns had worked and now he felt his blood pumping and boiling, adrenaline filling him and [Euphoria] filling him.
With this Heilon had already confirmed it. He was a complete monster. A being born for conflict, for combat, for war. His life was in the combat and fighting. A machine to destroy and kill.
Heilon: I'm really a Monster...!
He said looking at the sky even with that smile with sharper fangs to laugh out loud while the witches looked at him worried. Echidna had a curious look and Satella had a serious look.
Heilon stomps his foot hard, breaking the ground to let out a beast-like roar while Hector summons more magic wands and black tears run down his eyes. His violet aura glowed brighter while Heilon's red aura did the same.
They both looked at each other, ready to go all out against the other and end this fight.
In the mansion, the Oni sisters, thanks to their synesthesia, could feel the great pressure of their sister Rim in danger. They knew something was going on with Rim and Heilon.
Rem was very worried, but she trusted Heilon absolutely. She was confident that her sister would be totally fine if she was with Heilon.
Ram did not have the same confidence in Heilon as Rem. It was true that he protected his sister, gave them back their horns and helped them a lot but even so he didn't trust them at all. For her, Heilon was an enigma that hid many secrets.
All those who had the blessing of Heilon could smell its miasma from the mansion. Something was happening and that was confirmed when the mansion began to shake strongly.
Frederica gets up to quickly get out of her body and go to the new recruit Petra who was scared. I don't expect her first night here to be so scary. Frederica holds her.
Frederica: Are you okay, little one?
Petra: Yes, just a little scared...
Petra said now noticing Frederica's long, pointed ears. Petra points to Frederica's ears in surprise. Frederica touches her now long furry ears, remembering about the blessings of Heilon that everyone had and how before she left her, she gave him a nickname.
Frederica: Heilon...
Petra had ignored everything that happened recently with her eyes focused on Frederica's ears, being jealous and also wanting Heilon to give her a nickname.
Their thoughts were interrupted when they saw Emilia leave her room while rubbing her eyes with Puck behind her.
Ram: Are you okay, Emilia-sama?
Asked Ram who was walking down the hallway with Rem behind her. Ram should go to his master and see what happened.
Emilia: Yes, we are fine...
She said worried since that earthquake was quite strong. Ram goes to his master's study along with others and opens the door seeing him looking out of the window. Everyone looked and opened their eyes seeing in the distance a large cloud of earth that rose to the heavens and seemed to cover the entire place, it was not close but not far away and then a red lightning bolt came out of it towards the sky.
Everyone recognized that red aura. The barrier of the sky breaks and lets out that pillar of mana.
Roswaal: He broke the barrier of the Sacred Tree~
Emilia: Heilon...
Rem: Heilon-Kun...
Ram: Beiron...
Puck and Roswaal had the same thought that that was Heilon's Oni power. The power of the Oni God. Everyone retreated to leave the mansion and see this more clearly except Roswaal who quickly approaches his desk to open a secret compartment where his Tome of Wisdom is supposed to be.
His face became more paler than before as he felt that it was not in his place, his blood froze for a few seconds and he quickly looked where his Tome was supposed to be, but there was nothing. He put the pieces together in his mind.
Roswaal: Heilon...
He had to assume that Heilon was carrying something when he asked to go on a trip. He trusted himself and somehow, Heilon stole the Tome from him and ran away to do who knows what.
Anger filled him and his mind delved into everything. He couldn't continue thinking when Ram entered the study.
Ram: Roswaal-sama, we have visitors.
Roswaal leaves the mansion to see a carriage at the entrance to his estate. He recognized the carriage and little Annerose Miload came out very worried and behind her was a badly injured Clind.
Clind: Roswaal-sama, I bring bad news.
For Clind to come with Annerose, then it was very bad news.
Clind: Hector has been freed and has gone to the Sanctuary...
End of Chapter.
