Will of chaos

As I faced the others, my abilities were still working, I was trying to detect where the cores of these barriers were.

It wasn’t in my plans to fight fair, I was just making myself a distraction while Ragnar was ready to stop the enemies’ summons and I was still trying to find the whereabouts of the barriers’ cores. .

I was using my parallel thinking to the fullest, I was multitasking searching for the cores of barriers, and fighting this “Celestine Inquisitor” with a strength equal to mine, she seems to have combat experience by her quick reactions.

When I was pushed backwards after my blow I gathered the element of light in my grip.

“< Elemental Claws: Light >” (I)

Soon light claws leave my hands becoming 1 meter claws floating behind the back of my hand and moving along with my hands.

This is a Ki skill that Diana learned a short time ago and taught me, I adapted it to be used with many different elements, but in this situation, the light element will be better as this whole space is saturated only with that element.

“(Ragnar, now!)” (I)

As I fought the enemies tried to do the invocation, but Ragnar acted at the same moment I spoke he stretched his wings and beat forward sending black feathers that were stopped by the Templar’s spy but exploded in darkness sending a wave of darkness that disturbed the summoning magic.

“(That was weird.)” (I)

I noticed something strange, before I spoke the Inquisitor was already looking at Ragnar, but she didn’t give any order, she doesn’t even move to stop him, I was waiting for that moment to use these claws of light, but she didn’t even moved from the place.

“Why are you after Vanessa?” (I)

“A traitor to the great God of Light, her crimes cannot be forgiven and are far more serious than a Heretic like you.” (Inquisitor Celestine)

(Changing: Woman A –> Inquisitor Celestina)

“You speak too confidently for someone who can’t land any blows.” (I)

I tease her, but the charity is that I’m finding everything very strange, when my attack failed she could have hit me, but it didn’t do anything.

“< Blade of the Army of Light >” (Templar)

The pressure on me lessens as the sword of condensed light disappears, I feel 2 Templars and 1 Priest concentrating all their mana towards a golden sword the Templar was holding.

The blade of the sword was glowing more and more and very fast, I realized that I wouldn’t be able to resist the kind of destructive power it would create, my only option would be to dodge algae.

“It’s time to end it!” (Inquisitor Celestine)

Boommm!

“< Wings of Light >” (Inquisitor Celestine)

Suddenly Inquisitor Celestine looks back and waves her sword up creating an explosion as I speak, then a new pair of wings is created behind her being made of condensed light, then the two pairs of wings merge making her wings fold in size and look like every feather on its wings has turned into blades of light.

“< Triple Cut of Light >” (Inquisitor Celestina)

To my surprise their attack was not aimed at me, they cut the Templar holding the golden sword in half with one of his wings, he cut the Priest’s head with his sword and the other wings tried to cut the other Templar, but he reacts quickly and only loses one hand.

“Damned traitor…” (Man E)

“< Piercing Light >” (Man F)

Before he can finish speaking, another man appears behind him, slashing his throat with a sword with the blade of white light.

“TRAITORS! WE HAVE TRAITORS… AAHHHH!!!!”

“…” (I)

“…” (Ragnar)

Before I could understand what was happening, 3 people were dead at the hands of their companions, I also heard a scream not far from the position I thought I felt the core of such an area barrier.

Soon the two barriers disappear, and this makes the elements that were being forced out come back leaving the environment heavy and unbalanced, if left like this it will take a few days to return to normal, but I had other concerns at the moment.

I was speechless, speechless for such a huge turn of events, I felt something is wrong, but I didn’t imagine it would be something like this.

While I was confused the Gray Elf is released from the chains that bound him, I stand on guard at a distance with Ragnar at my side.

“What just happened?” (I)

“I don’t know, should we kill them taking advantage of the internal conflict?” (Ragnar)

“Fine by me, let’s go…” (I)

“Wait! We don’t want to fight!” (Inquisitor Celestine)

Before we do anything, other people appear walking in that direction, there were 6 people, and it looks like there were 12 in total.

Inquisitor Celestine deactivates her magic on the sword, wings, and armor returning to normal, her eyes looking at me with a determination just as she had before.

“(She has a strong determination, but I can see the darkness in her eyes.)” (I)

She throws her sword to the ground and the others behind her do the same, so they all stand in front of me doing nothing.

“I don’t know why you killed your mates, but I’d be an idiot not to take the opportunity to finish you all right now.” (I)

“Wait! I swear we’re not your enemies, I know you realized from the start what you were doing right?” (Inquisitor Celestine)

“…” (I)

The people who died were all those with murderous intent from the start, the ones in front of me now, or at least three of them are the ones who just had a determined look in their eyes.

“(This explains why the Inquisitor’s actions were so strange, she planned to betray her comrades from the beginning.)” (I)

“Why would I trust someone who betrays and kills his own comrades?” (I)

“My name is Athena, they weren’t my companions, these are all my true companions.” (Athena)

“Those 5 were unwanted additions to my group.” (Athena)

“I’m sorry for not trusting anyone from the Church of Light.” (I)

“< Acid Hellfire >” (I)

“Master, wait!” (Ragnar)

“…” (I)

“(I don’t feel their faith in their Auras, furthermore they don’t seem to have Baldr’s Blessings, if they did I would tell by their auras with the execution that they are stronger than me, which is not the case now.)” (Ragnar )

“(Think I should spare them?)” (I)

“(Use the Fairy or Moon Spirit to confirm they are telling the truth.)” (Ragnar)

“This is a good idea.” (I)
