Chapter 1090 Cap 1088: No Irreparable Damage Caused
I don’t know what happened and I didn’t have time to pay attention, maintaining the death barrier was more complicated than I thought at first, I thought Hinata could help me, but the only difference it made was to strengthen the barrier even more, your control of the death energy was close to mine.
For some reason I felt something strengthening the barrier from within the cracked sphere where the Heretic God was trapped, it was a much softer Death energy that blended perfectly with mine to strengthen the barrier.
Other than that it was already strange, when the chains appeared from the sky in large amounts I thought it was some kind of attack, but in fact, it was the same chains of Hell that capture these corrupted Souls, I don’t know if someone invoked these things or if that amount of Corrupted souls gathered was enough to be noticed.
The only thing I know was the relief to see those Corrupted Souls being taken away, when the chains disappeared I made some effort to look around confirming that the Corrupted Souls were gone.
I thought I could stop the barrier that was getting to be painful to maintain, but I did my best to maintain it until the moment I didn’t feel the presence of the Heretic God coming through the cracks.
When I relaxed by deactivating the barrier, I had my legs going a little wobbly and my body was cold like a frozen Tomb, the death energy was like having liquid ice coursing through my body.
“Are you well?” (Silvia)
“Yes, I’m just a little cold and weak…” (I)
“You weren’t able to use the death energy efficiently and some of it affected your body, come on.” (Silvia)
Silvia gives me a hug that started to warm my body, I felt a gentle and warm energy run through my glass until it balanced with the prevailing cold.
In a few seconds the cold had disappeared, but the energy of death was still inside my body, it was just balanced with my vitality, Silvia used her Aura to stimulate my vitality to flow through the same paths in which the energy of death was traveling and the balance of these two energies ended the reaction I was suffering.
“Thanks.” (I)
“I didn’t do anything too much.” (Silvia)
After that, I went to see how Hinata was doing but she didn’t seem to be ok, seeing her whole body she seemed to be ok, but as soon as I saw her face turning in place I knew she wasn’t ok, her head was still, it was her face that was spinning as if it was some kind of mask rotating on her face, it was unsettling due to the fact that her eyes were moving during the rotation and two tongues were hanging out of her mouth while her face was rotating.
I don’t say anything and just place my hand on top of her head, it stops her face from spinning and she looks at me with her empty eyes.
I make a small mirror using ice magic for her, with her reflection she noticed that her face stopped turning upside down, that is to say, the mouth on top and eyes on the bottom, it was a little strange to look at.
After checking Hinata’s condition I went to see how Hela was doing from whom I absorbed a large amount of death energy, she seemed to be completely fine, but I know her Familiar kept looking at me, I don’t think I left a good impression on him after that.
I went to check on everyone else and help with healing people, something that Silvia was already doing after she helped me, but it was at this time that I felt something strange, the presence of the Evil God was weakening, but that wasn’t making the power of Death, Corruption, and the Dark Element gone, it was just losing control.
My level of concern only got worse when I saw the corruption spreading to the other elements around while the darkness element was turning into miasma at a terrifying speed.
“Silvia!!! Freya!!!!” (I)
“Yes, I feel it too!” (Silvia)
“I’m ready, master!” (Freya)
“(What a bad moment, I’m not at my 100%, at best I’m at 45% of my full power…)” (I)
The struggles I had to get here, what I did with Sakura, what I did during my fight with that Demon Dragon, and that death barrier that was more than improvised, all of it cost me more than I’d like to admit.
“Sakura, you too!!” (I)
I look at Sakura, her head was disproportionate to the rest of her body, that’s because during the fight with those gray creatures she had her head ripped off, if she wasn’t more plant than another race, this could have killed her, now she is having to grow one new head while the other became completely crystal with a wood-like appearance.
“Silvia, you control and we expand.” (I)
“< Field of Harmony with Nature >” (Silvia)
A magic circle formed at our feet using roots that would rise from the ground forming complex magic circles with spiritual Runes glowing in the very roots that were changing to crystals after being in place.
Me being Silvia’s Father, Sakura’s Master, and having carried out Freya’s awakening I can serve as an intermediary for the power of the three before sending it to the magic circle that Silvia is controlling, but it was beyond that, I could feel my mind traveling the roots just like Sakura showed me earlier.
I felt all the Power they were pouring into me flow together with mine into this spell, I could feel the area of range expand as a mix of our Auras bind to the various elements and the faint presence of nature itself that I could only feel now because of this magic, so we forced all other elements out of control as well as this corruption and miasma to be suppressed while stabilizing the area, but there were only 4 of us performing something in a very wide area while low on Holy Power and still unable to use my Authority.
Even with our best effort, we weren’t able to maintain this for more than a few seconds when the magic circle at our feet exploded sending the 4 of us flying in various directions, luckily there were many around us who were able to hold everyone off before slamming into something and settling down hurt even more.
I was lucky that Orion managed to catch me in time, I was taken to the others and this time I was really tired, I could stand and talk normally, but it would be impossible for me to do anything else besides that, I could even feel the energy inside my body in disarray because of the reaction of the magic, it’s already a surprise that I’m conscious considering that Freya and Sakura fell unconscious.
Only Silvia as well as me was able to maintain consciousness and stand up, but even without her saying anything I already knew that our situation was the same, she also couldn’t use her power. ๐ฏ๐๐ท๐๏ผ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ
As I tried to think of something, the sphere that was previously cracked in the middle of the World Tree shattered in an explosion that created a wave of dark energy in all directions along with a presence as deep and vast as an abyss at the bottom of the ocean.
This presence was familiar, but at the same time it was different, my mind took seconds to understand that they were two presences in one, more precisely a presence with depths that I couldn’t see was totally mixed with a presence that I’ve known for a long time, these were the presence of Ivan and the Goddess Kalistos.
When I looked up I could only see a point of black light in the middle of a hole in the middle of the World Tree, which by the way was higher than the top of a mountain, so I looked up at the darkened sky with transparent black energy that stretches across the sky as far as I can see.
I might not be able to use my power, but my senses were still functioning enough for me to feel the energies of Darkness, Corruption, and Death being gathered in the sky, not exactly being controlled, but absorbed into what slowly felt like something wavy in the sky.
The energies of nature stopped being in disarray, the miasma disappeared upon being fully taken to the sky, and the death energy was becoming different, instead of the filthy feeling it felt before it was becoming pure, it was as if it was being washed away from all dirt until only pure death energy remains.
Soon the ripple in the sky became bigger when these three energies were taken away, so this ripple moved as if it was being pulled by someone and it moved like a cloth being moved around the World Tree.
In my vision, the cloth was pulled back until it revealed the sky that was hidden behind, so when I looked at the world tree it looked like a slim and colossal figure wearing a black robe, but in less than a second this vision disappeared when all this black energy was gone sucked into a spot in the middle that turned out to be where the hole in the World Tree was, there were a few spots clustered there, vaguely humanoid in outline.
“Looks like no harm was done, glad she helped.” (Silvia)
“You mean the…” (I)
I look around and refrain from continuing the sentence, there were too many people I don’t know well enough to speak out loud about.
“Yes, that means he’s there too.” (Silvia)
“(Ivan… how are you now?)” (I)
The presence I felt before was something similar to what I felt in the past when Vanessa was praying for my mother, but on a much deeper level, but thanks to that the environment stopped deteriorating as it was doing, which would be dangerous for everyone here and to the environment itself.
Luckily no critical damage was sustained, I’m sure if it’s just this level of disarray we can sort it out hopefully.
