Pov Adella:
I looked at each of the Ascendants who were taken by Nix's shadows, I wanted to grab each of them and tear those sealing bandages until I enchanted that hateful face, but she didn't give the opportunity.
I followed the exit, but this ti there were more enemies in front of us, one of them just smiled at us at the sa ti that all the others crumbled into pieces of flesh on the ground, their mutilated bodies gushing blood while my concentration was entirely on this man wearing full armor, his eyes were amber brown, his body hidden by the armor left no chance of discovering anything about him.
I continued like that, my eyes focused on him, my pure perception unable to see anything about him, yet his presence was strange.
Suddenly his Demon appearance fades away, revealing a child with pale skin, purple eyes and tongue, as well as white hair with purple tips tied in a ponytail. His teeth are all sharp and his claws are made of bones. A strange energy pattern was around him as he smiled at . His body was strange, it was as if it were an illusion, a materialization of energy or sothing similar. I see ntal and Soul energy flowing from the corpses to him, but his eyes stayed on and soon shifted to my shadow before returning to . "I feel sothing delicious coming from you, I also feel the sa hidden in your shadow..." (???) Before I could understand what was happening, space distorted and I appeared in front of the Goddess of Blood. Her body disguised as a child was marked by many injuries and several Demon corpses were around her. "We don't have ti, just follow the rhythm." (Selene)
"..." ()
"Don't talk about him, wait to talk to my Master only." (Nix)
"I know." ()
"(Those energy patterns, they're curses, that wasn't a child, I don't think he was even really here...)" ()
I had a lot to think about, but the fear I felt at that mont helped to calm the anger and hatred that was counting in my heart, in a way the appearance of that thing was helpful.
I move away with the two, running between the ruins of the city, we pass through rubble until we reach a relatively intact house, as soon as we enter there was a Level 1 Ascendant inside who let us in, many other Ascendants were inside and in the middle of them was Wendel along with 2 other Ascendants controlling a great ritual, the Laws of Space were bending into patterns and a portal had opened, even so it was impossible to feel the distortion or concentration of the power of space.
Everyone falls silent and soon Barerosa arrives with torn clothes, her description was exactly as Zenos had warned, she opens the door wider letting other Level 2 Ascendants enter, so of them were slightly injured and others were in horrible condition.
"Wendel, the ti has co!" (Barerosa)
"< Law of Space: Space Portal >" (Wendel/2 others)
Everyone rushes in and suddenly the distortion of space becos 5 tis bigger destroying the residence completely, everyone runs inside and we continue together, shortly after the 2 Level 2 Ascendants pass through the portal seriously injured along with Zenos who was also injured.
The portal closes and looking around we are already on another planet at a considerable distance, many are injured, but there are no deaths, I run to Zenos along with Nix and Selena.
The Servants and subordinates of the other 2 Level 3 Ascendants also rush over to him, they were all injured to so degree, but I suddenly found myself thinking back to the old days and that bastard, the anger that I had previously managed to put aside was starting to build at the thought of him being nearby.
"Are you okay, Commander!?" (Selene)
"I'm fine, Morgana..." (Zenos)
"Let's take 2 hours to heal, then we can have the last eting." (Zenos)
The other 2 Ascendants nod in confirmation and with that all the Ascendants here divide into 3 groups, we go to a more isolated place inside a cave, as soon as we were no longer visible all of Zenos' injuries begin to heal faster, but it wasn't the power of the Blood that he was using, it was the power of the Law, his wings were glowing slightly with silver energy.
"The Ascendants are with you." (Zenos)
"Yes, then under a seal, my lord." (Nix)
As long as Barerosa is around as well as 3 other Ascendants, we can't let our disguise fall, but I won't last much longer like this.
"Wait and rest, as soon as I'm recovered we can free these Ascendants." ()
---------------------
Pov Zenos:
2 turns later.
Fighting the Avatar seems to have been difficult for these two Ascendants, they were still injured when we t later, the breaking of the Seals was done together and in the anti I left Adella away, I couldn't let her ruin our disguise and that's why I told Wendel to take this companion of his.
I just wanted to clear this mission and let go of these shitty responsibilities of the Ascendants, I can use this injury to avoid future missions and separate myself from the Ascendants for a while, I just need to make sure Barerosa follows us for a while longer, I can use her obsession with to bring her to our side, I also fulfill Ohara's request with this.
"(We've already wasted too much ti... but before anything else, I have to deal with Adella.)" ()
After separating from the Ascendants, only Wendel and Barerosa follow , the other Ascendant was coming a little behind, I glance at him.
His appearance was beautiful, perhaps too beautiful to the point where he could be mistaken for a woman if he changed his clothes, beautiful, straight black hair that falls like a waterfall down his back, a slender body with smooth, flawless skin, he hides his face with a red mask with no details other than his black eyes, his 3 pairs of wings were white like most Ascendants.
I'm not sure what he did, Adella didn't tell everything and was vague about many things, the only thing I'm sure of is that he was from the sa original universe as Adella, other than that I don't know anything else about the subject.
"Wendel, go ahead and tell her... Barerosa, I want you to go prepare our departure with Morgana... I would like to talk to this man about what happened while he was with the Pride Troopers." ()
"Yes, Commander..." (everyone)
We still need to keep a little discretion, I don't know if we are being watched or not, while after everyone has left, I wave my hand.
"< Law of Eclipse: Threshold Space >" ()
Once again I was in that space where the ground is made of several stretching infinitely, the skies are composed of countless stars that are reflected on the crystal floor and on the horizon a great Eclipse whose magnificent ring of light evokes a mystical beauty.
In this space, it was just and him, so I could have a sincere conversation with him. I can't let this continue. I can't let him et Adella without knowing anything about what's going on. Adella's emotions are very unstable now, and I'm afraid she might fall into irrationality again because of him.
"Before anything else, let make sothing clear. I'm Zenos, and I'm on Davoth's side in this plane. I'm here because of Wendel, who told us about you." ()
"I'm Kaan. It's a pleasure to et you. You must be the Bringer of Chaos he's always been waiting for." (Kaan)
His Aura is well controlled and his way of speaking also seems polite, his overall behavior seems good, but his voice seems weak with a depressive tone.
"We don't have much ti, so I want to know sothing about you, I want to know about your universe and why you beca an Ascendant?" ()
"..." (Kaan)
He was silent and his Aura beca cold, but he didn't move, he did nothing but stand there looking at , I gave him a few seconds to answer.
"I'm sorry for being blunt, but you don't need to know, what happened in my past matters only to and no one else!" (Kaan)
"I ask that you don't bring up the subject again, just be sure that I hate the Ascendants as much as everyone else, if not even more...!" (Kaan)
"(I didn't want to have to reveal about Adella, but I need to know sothing before they et... let's see how he reacts to the na first...)" ()
"Selene..." ()
"..." (Kaan)
His entire body stopped moving as if ti had frozen, his Aura exploded with a lant so great that it affected even my emotions, but all of this lasted only a mont that passed quickly, his Aura soon returned to how it was before, in fact it beca even colder and stiffer than before, his body also trembled a little before moving again, still I could tell that every muscle in his body was vibrating.
His reaction was instantaneous and even so I don't know what to think, it seems that just like Adella, he also carries strong emotions, but I don't know the source of those emotions or what happened in their past.
"How do you know that na?" (Kaan)
"I guess you didn't get your alert, did you..." ()
I pick up a technological device, it was like my old cell phone, with the only difference being that it was a holographic generator connected to sothing similar to a computer.
I click on a few things and soon a hologram forms with several photos, nas and descriptions below the photos, Kaan's face was hidden, but he still focused on just one photo, the photo of my mother.
"I see, you are the son of the Blood Goddess Selene..." (Kaan)
"Yes, but that's not who I'm talking about, the Selene I'm ntioning is soone who has already left that na behind and now carries the na Adella." ()
"Adella..." (Kaan)
