Chapter 319 - Spatial Magic Is OP!
-----
Well, what a satisfying sight.
After having planned all of this for over two weeks and having worked so hard, seeing it all come to fruition really gives me a feeling of satisfaction.
We planned carefully how to make these things work, from the enormous pit that engulfed more than 3/4 of the army to the traps that froze, burn, and sliced them up.
In fact, these Traps were perhaps the hardest part, as we combined a lot of our abilities into using them, and we even asked help from the ghosts to fuel them, this is why Ervas and Veronica could not use them, as they were busy killing more soldiers.
These traps were made through Ervas ability to create Mana Constructions, alongside the Curse Synthesis Skill of them that let them create Curse Runes that they can edit, and lastly, my Spatial, Dream, and Illusion Attribute Magic, to give it all a greater twist, not even the amazing detection abilities of Graham Gold nor of that one old geezer wizard could see this coming.
One of such traps was also the enormous spatial barrier or dome that we used to entrap the whole army inside.
Legion, a special Ghost made of many Souls was pretty talented in Spatial Magic, amongst all other types of magic in this world due to its unique nature of containing so many souls, which meant that it had all of their affinities and stuff.
Thanks to him/her, we managed to maintain this enormous spatial barrier, trapping the army inside with our allies as well, which Veronica brought through the graveyard set by one of her tiny clones right in front of the soldiers, they really did not see that coming either.
One of the largest traps had activated as all of the soldiers fell, which was the one made by Grakgna, the Ancient Earth Dragon King Ghost, who had become even more amazing at shaping the ground when he became a ghost, mind you.
The other Ghosts then inhabited the other traps and killed many soldiers without putting that much effort, we called these things 'Ghost Traps', although there could be a better name that I can't come out with because I suck at naming things.
As the battle progressed, Ervas fought Graham.
He had insisted that he wanted to fight him alone, so we ended up giving up and letting him do as he pleased, after all, he wanted to prove himself or something which I really did not get.
Graham was pretty strong, strong enough that I believe I would have easily died against him… which makes me rather frustrated that I cannot be of much use.
However, Ervas pulled it off with all the knowledge he had accumulated and his use of magic, creating a new spell in the middle of the battle named Ginnungagap, like the gaping abyss of Norse mythology… He employed his Void King Magic (No-Attribute Magic), Void Attribute Magic, and his Psychokinesis to create it, the power of the spell was immense, as it was able to generate something similar to a small black hole of sorts, which absorbed everything around itself and even distorted the spatial layers themselves.
Using it, he managed to catch Graham and crush him into nothingness, literally, not even his physical body was left, nothing at all.
Of course, his soul was supposed to appear now… but it did not.
At that time is when I felt like something was going wrong.
Out of nowhere, a bright yellow light descended from the sky, crashing into the ground near Ervas, as Graham, yes, Graham, the one Ervas had just killed, came back from the dead as what they call in this world as 'Familiar Spirits'.
Familiar Spirits are the lowest grade of a Divine Being of sorts, as they had attained a Divine Soul but lose their physical bodies.
Such intervention can only be made by the Gods themselves, as they give away a piece of their own soul and make a mortal soul ascend into this 'pseudo-godhood'.
After that, I believe they can gather and amass power slowly, raising into Heroic Spirit, and then into a Subordinate God, although they are often just stuck at Familiar Spirit or Heroic Spirit unless they are worshiped by mortals.
Well, such a spectacle happened right before our eyes, and the culprit behind this was no one else than Bestellen, of course.
The Bright God of Light and Righteousness and the bastard that wants all demons and beast-kin eradicated from the face of this world for some stupid reason, really, what a cliché villain, it gives me Alda vibes.
Anyways, so this guy is freaking insane, and now thanks to my title of Otherworldly Invader, he got to know about me and well… possibly about Ervas and Veronica very quickly.
He has been probably watching over this battle from the skies and had used Graham's soul as some kind of weapon, raising him to a Familiar Spirit straight away and sending him back to earth to kill Ervas.
Well, that's not gonna happen bud, because Veronica and Jason ran to the rescue right before Ervas were to hit the bucket…
It really made me frustrated, how powerless I am in this situation…
Although I was doing my duty to maintain this spatial barrier so no enemies could ever hope to escape, I resisted several times the impulse of leaving this behind and running to help the boy…
It really pained my heart to see him almost die.
It made me remind of my children, of the many I have… If something like this were to happen to them, I do not know how mad I would become…
I hope the main body is doing a good job taking care of them! I will one day go back there!
Anyways, Veronica and Jason came to Ervas rescue as Veronica fused with him, managing to heal his wounds and the curse effect that Graham's attacks had on Ervas flesh.
Afterward, Veronica transformed her metallic body into a giant mech with Ervas and Jason inside as if this were some kind of Gundam season.
They used their combined powers to completely overpowered Graham as the fool was slowly contaminated by their corrupted Mana (Miasma).
Well, it seemed that Bestellen did not inform him about that issue… yeah, Gods in this world that is not like Demon Gods have their Divine Souls corrupted by the miasma, eroded until they weaken a lot.
Using this simple tactic to deal with his ridiculous new powers, Graham was destroyed and eaten by the pair and well, Jason helped a lot too.
After all, who would not want to kill a big enemy with your daddy at your side? Just like in Dragon Ball.
In the end, Graham was eaten, and it seems that the pair got some nice powerup out of it, I was rooting for them from the beginning, so this really put a smile on my face.
After the war ended, I got enough EXP to finally Rank Up again, so immediately went to see my new evolution Options.
[Available Evolution Options]
[Rank 7: Divine Otherworldly Spatial Spectral Aberration of Lustful and Chaotic Gluttony]
[Rank 7: Divine Otherworldly Venomous Spectral Aberration of Lustful and Chaotic Gluttony]
As you can see, Space or Poison was my option.
Of course, getting poison powers could be cool, but I decided to unlock more of my spatial powers as it would come useful for what I was trying to do (which I was struggling with for a bit due to its complexity).
Ding!
[You Ranked up into the [Rank 7: Divine Otherworldly Spatial Spectral Aberration of Lustful and Chaotic Gluttony]!]
[All of your stats have increased]
[Several Skills have leveled up]
[You acquired the [Spatial Divinity Fragment: Level 1], [Divine Warp: Level 1], and [Spatial Attack: Level 1] Skills!]
Oh sweet, I got another Divinity Fragment Skill!
I did not have this power originally, but I gained it when I ate a Demon God from my world named Kheseerad, the Demon God of Foreign Trespassing.
These Divinity Fragment Skills increase the power of a certain attribute a lot, and with this one about space, well, my spatial magic and void magic just got an amazing boost.
I believe that if I max their level, I might get something like a true divinity like my main body?
Well, there is a long journey before that.
Oh right, this whole time I had divided myself, creating what I call a 'True Body Clone'!
Where did I send it? Towards the Duchy of Sapphira, of course!
I followed that one guy that was spying on us all the time and managed to sneak into the duchy.
Just after I assessed things with my first body alongside Ervas and Veronica, my second body alerted me that the guy, named the Eye of Shadows, had finally gone far away.
Using my second body and the clone of Veronica it carried, I brought Veronica and Ervas through an Accursed Graveyard set right in that pocket dimension I made to travel through the spatial layers without being detected.
Yeah, I still was doubtful if a graveyard would even pop up in that empty space, but it did, and it still there floating in midair, quite the interesting skill, almost game-breaking to tell you the truth.
Anyways, Veronica not only brought Ervas but all of the squad of tribe leaders… and Lilith, because she insisted she wanted to torture the Duke for her lords.
I could not blame her, after learning what this guy has been doing, and how upset it would make Ervas and Veronica, I also wanted to torture him.
I broke space and startled him a lot with my monstrous appearance, and he literally pissed and shitted himself.
Duke Frank was the Duke of the Duchy of Sapphira, a region within the Kingdom of Aquaria.
He was also one of the sons of the King himself, but we did not really give a fuck.
We tortured him in many ways possible until he died out of pain, yeah, we did not even inflict any wound that would actually kill him, and we even healed those that were bleeding too much.
He just died out of pain!
After that, we brought back all of the slaves this bastard had in his basement, which was all demons and beast-kin, not even a human…
Ervas and Veronica seemed rather refreshed after the torture, so they brought the Duke's soul with them without breaking it yet, and then, we disappeared from the scene without leaving any trails behind other than the Duke's tortured corpse.
Man, that was a fun ride.
