Just before the deadly inferno struck, the Demigod of Chaos managed to twist the world around itself. Rather than taking the full brunt of the blast, the energy dispersed in all directions.
The good part? It avoided the full force.
The bad part? That force exploded like a bomb.
If there were any civilians watching the battle from the ground, they might've seen the massive fighters clashing in the sky—but under the veil of the dark night, few details would have been clear.
Then, a mont later, a spark flared. A massive ball of energy burst into life—so bright, so intense, it looked like a second sun had been born.
The shockwave of the blast was so grand that in a few kiloters of the fight, the windows shattered under the sheer pressure.
Anyone nearby would have gone deaf from the sound, blind from the light, and utterly overwheld by the chaos.
A second later, shaking off the blast's aftershock, the Demigod of Chaos looked around.
Everything around was in flas, as there were countless people laying dead on the ground, burning by the fires that were falling from the sky.
It might not be Draconis anymore, yes, but it still held care for its empire, and to see it destroyed…
It had attained godhood, but rather than ruling over the world, it was struggling against two asly mortals.
If it weren't for them, it would have had ti to master its powers. It hadn't been long since it gained these abilities, after all.
If it wasn't for these mortals, his capital wouldn't been at this state at the mont.
If it wasn't…
Rage started to cloud its judgnt as new eyes began to grow around the one that had been pierced by Zaroth's spear.
New limbs began to grow out of its torso.
Large fangs split open its jaw as it roared—
"IF IT WASN'T FOR THESE MORTALS!"
It willed it, and a foreign essence gathered within its throat, giving it the ability to speak in the tongue of n.
Thanks to Luna's intervention, they were no longer at the heart of the capital—but still, the death toll had to be in the hundreds of thousands.
"AND ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!" the Demigod's voice thundered, so heavy that those who heard it felt their souls tremble.
Luna showed no fear. She flared her wings and shot forward like a cot, mouth open and blazing.
"Fine then!" the demigod shouted as it moved its new limbs and caught Luna in her charge.
However, it wasn't able to stop the montum, and they shot toward the ground as both of them collided, causing a great dust mushroom cloud to rise high in the air.
"LET GO!" the Demigod scread, pinned beneath her.
It was just about to manage to get Luna off its body, that was until the ground around them gave out and cracked, making them drop even deeper in it,
Elysia had willed for the gravity around them to get harder than normal, freezing the Demigod's movent.
ROOOAAAAAARRR
Opening its maw, it unleashed another ear-splitting roar—then vanished.
In an instant, it was no longer pinned. It was in the sky, high above, retreating.
'This is bad! I need ti—ti to study these powers—before I face them both at once!' it thought as it tried to get out of the way,
Elysia scoffed seeing it. "Running to the very end, are you?!" she mocked as she shot after it.
Luna quickly recovered as she soared in the sky once more and began to follow as well.
Zaroth still clung to her back. His state was dire—blood leaking from his ears after the sheer force of the explosion—but he didn't care.
In that mont, a single desire drove him forward.
He had to kill the god.
*****
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, her chains had been broken,
Getting up on her feet and brushing past the rubble that had fallen on her, Solara Virelia looked around her,
The sight was disgusting, there were tens of thousands of weirdly looking—most likely experint on—human bodies laid lifeless on the ground unmoving,
Explosions still echoed in the distance as the great heads battled the Crimson Sun Empire's forces.
"This is a place I really want to burn down," Solara Virelia spat as she broke free from the last few chains that had managed to hold.
"Princess!"
Hearing a familiar voice, she gazed at the person that had ca to her rescue.
"General Hadrik, fancy seeing you here," the princess joked almost like she wasn't concerned about the death and chaos happening all around her,
"My princess!" Hadrik spoke again as he dropped to one knee, "we have co to your rescue."
"That is good but we have more work to do." she comnted.
Hadrik raised an eyebrow, "We do?"
"Yes," she said, pointing toward the mostly destroyed castle. "There must be so important figures left inside. Since we're here, why not take care of them?"
General Hadrik didn't like the idea. They were deep in enemy territory, and most of their n were already dead—but he couldn't go against the princess.
After being locked away in a dark, lightless prison cell, she was bound to be itching to take her anger out on soone.
They were about to head in the castle until Solara noticed sothing flying toward them at full speed.
It was dark, so it was hard to see, but it was safe to say that this was the most disgusting thing she had ever seen in her life, the figure was dozens of ters tall, had two sets of wings, too many eyes, and too many limbs,
Weirdly enough, it seed the creature was fleeing from so kind of dragon, though it was hard to make out any details since it was too far away.
Usually Solara would have ignored it, but if the thing went past above her, the dragon could focus on her, not to ntion she didn't want to let sothing this disgusting get close to her,
"General Hadrik, get back," she commanded,
The man nodded as he took hurried steps back,
At the sa ti, Solara Virelia took a deep breath as she felt tingling sensation in her whole body.
The sun was down, as such, she wasn't anywhere near full power, but it had been so long since she had gone all out that she didn't mind,
She lifted her left hand over her head as her eyes shined crimson,
Then she moved it down in one beautiful arc leaving fire trail behind, this was the main body,
She wasn't done, however, as once her hand moved down to her waist, she lifted it upward creating a second trail of fire, this one thinner than the other, this was the string.
Finally taking a deep breath she gripped the main body of the bow as she placed her right hand next to the left and then began to draw.
In an instant, a massive, deadly fire arrow materialized, ready to be unleashed.
Her lips curled into a nacing smile as she whispered.
"Ah… it's good to be back."
As she released her grip, the ground shattered, and the arrow shot forward, traveling faster than the speed of sound, leaving a trail of fire in its wake.
And before the Demigod of Chaos could react, it was struck by the imnse force.
