I finally understood that I was never really hidden, I could have been hidden from the Ascendants, but the Entities knew where I was all along, at least those who know knew how it was in the case of War.
"(Maybe I'm being alarmist, they must have found because of this technique, I needed to use Tarzor as a ans.)" ()
I shake my head and clear my mind, there was nothing else to do here, I knew that this ssage from Ayden was not just an invitation to a duel, he was giving a warning that he would not sit by and watch the Ascendants lose or maybe his goal is not all the Ascendants, his target of protection may be just those 3 Ascendant leaders.
Those who commanded so many Universal wars, who conquered so much and maintain a militaristic command system among their people, I can see where War's interest may have been sparked.
"(If the War Entity were to intervene, perhaps all our plans would go down the drain, but if I retreat... that's impossible.)" ()
Sigh
There was no way to retreat anymore, the 3 leaders hate , even now the Anomalous Armor is still being affected by my Chaos Curse, part of their power is being consud and used to form sothing I need, sothing that no one but is capable of using.
I suddenly look in the direction where 3 people were running towards , they were my mother still in her childish appearance, Nix and Wendel.
"Were we discovered?" (Mother)
"Yes, lissa seems to have good senses." ()
"She couldn't warn anyone, I have companions among the rescued who are still with the other two troops, if they had managed to warn , I would have known." (Wendel)
"I don't know if that changes anything, if we kill them or make them disappear we will still be exposed." (Mom)
"Not if we disappear with them, they'll lump us all together and look for the most logical explanation, they'll think that the Pride troops are tracking us and have managed to capture us." ()
"Mom, bring Adella here." ()
"Wendel, try to broadcast a false warning as if we were under attack and then cut off as if you've been caught." ()
"Nix, use the Star Path to get to Diana and the others, let them know about the eting at marked point number 6." ()
"Okay." (everyone)
I see my mother and Wendel running out of the shadowy area, Nix raises a circular portal that opens to the sides revealing a starry space and a crystal path where she walks before transforming into a Dragon with the portal closing behind her.
After everyone left, I turned to the last two people who had been following everything the whole ti, from the fight against the ssenger to this conversation now.
The tentacles pulled them towards , Barerosa always had that empty look, her Aura was a whirlwind and her eyes focused on , she wasn't very unstable and that's why I was focusing my attention on the one who had a look of despair, I took the tentacle out of her mouth allowing her to speak.
"You are the Bringer of Chaos...!" (lissa)
"Ding ding ding... give her a prize... that's the correct answer!" ()
I couldn't resist making a joke about her comnt, I honestly needed so fun.
"Now that you know that, I want to test sothing with you, but we'll have to leave that for later for now..." ()
"(Tarzor, take them, keep them separate from the others.)" ()
The two sink into the shadows just like the others monts before, then suddenly another person rises from the shadows, it was Lolth with an appearance that could completely pass for an Elf wearing colorful clothes.
"Why are you here?" ()
"My mistress asked to pass on a ssage to you." (Lolth)
"That's not the best..." ()
At that mont I could feel Adella and my Mother returning, as well as Wendel monts later. With their arrival, I would have to disappear from here without a trace.
"Let's get out of here. Then you can tell what Lena wants to tell ." ()
-------------------
Pov Diana:
We were in another laboratory. This one was full of Ascendants and Golems. The entire area around was surrounded by Kira's ritual.
"Are you sure they won't be able to contact the outside?" ()
"Yes, their Spirit-focused Laws are very superficial. They don't understand them exactly because they follow a path of logic." (Kira)
"Even without using my Divinity, I used pure Spiritual power to transform this place into a Runic Field, their Ascendant Laws seem to have taken characteristics from the Spiritual Runes, but they don't have the sa depth." (Kira)
"How much ti do we have?" (Erica)
"10 hours, the Ritual will be indefectible for them, but it can be easily crushed from the outside, this is just a camouflage blanket around this place, the Laws from the outside can still..." (Kira)
"You talk too much!" (Ibuki)
"We have 10 hours, great! Now let's get this over with!" (Ibuki)
"Ibuki is right, stop wasting ti." ()
"Erica, you take care of the information, of all of us, only you can understand those machines." ()
"Ibuki and Kira, you two will be the assassins, kill as discreetly as possible while I will draw attention with a frontal attack." ()
"Begin!" ()
I see Ibuki disappear into the shadows, Kira vanishes into thin air while Erica is consud by purple flas that spread between sparks leaving only here.
I look at the laboratory below, I don't know how many Ascendants are inside, but as long as there are no Level 3 Ascendants we will be fine without our Deities.
"(I know we shouldn't do this, but I need to know more about that thing.)" ()
I jump from the large tree where I was and take the form of a Wolf, letting my power explode as I advance against the walls of the laboratory.
My claws pierce the walls with ease, my Ki rises as my Aura explodes wildly, it's been a long ti since I've released my instincts like this, running wild without thinking about anything other than fighting.
The walls break one after the other, my large body can't invade such small corridors and rooms, several attacks co towards as dozens of Ascendant Golems with Armor and wings fly towards .
I decrease my size and use the Ascendant Golems as steps as I start to descend at high speed, invading a corridor where I saw a Level 1 Ascendant.
"Damn beast... aaahhh!"
When my teeth sink into its neck, releasing its head from its body, its scream seems like a warning to the others, 3 other Ascendants attack with a flying sword, a green stain in the shape of a Serpent and tallic needles emitting cursed power.
I didn't want to use any skills, I wanted to make myself look like a wild beast without conscience, while I just controlled the wind while dodging the attacks by a hair's breadth without showing too much strength, when the Golems reach , I feel vital signs disappearing, there were two and knowing what must have happened to them, I attack the last one head on.
"< Law of the Serpent: Poisonous Fangs >"
I didn't even need to dodge, before he could complete his attack a dark sword appeared behind him and ripped off his head.
Ibuki did her part by disappearing right after, I also felt a fourth person arriving but this one wasn't an Ascendant, I felt Anomalous power in him.
"< Sealing of a Hundred Worlds >"
"< Traveling Wolf of the Winds >" ()
The mont I felt his power I was already unleashing my own Skill, the cold winds of a full moon night travel from my body that disintegrates traveling like the wind itself, my Aura spreads thus evading the Runes that transford into images of entire Worlds flying towards .
Boooommm!!
A part of this place was crushed along with more than 10 kiloters of forest behind with 100 overlapping engravings making the air tremble, cold sweat runs down my body.
"You are not a normal beast, this power with a sacred touch... a Divine Beast perhaps..."
A woman appeared, she had an ordinary appearance and wore clothes like a flowing cloak, her curly blond hair was more beautiful than her ordinary face.
She had a large strip of translucent cloth around her, one end of this cloth was squeezing Erica's body who was still fighting in purple flas, the other end of the fabric was continuously colliding with Ibuki's sword without giving her ti to move away, in her hands was a fan of Runes shining in all colors pressing Kira and Byakko against the ground.
In the corner of my vision I saw a Level 2 Ascendant flying down the hallway towards us with two very strong and very detailed-looking Golems, other Golems were also approaching, things were worse than we imagined.
"Who are you!?" ()
"I'm just a scholar...ghh!!"
Before she could finish speaking, a portal opened from Erica's shadow, who was by her side. A Dragon's head ca out, chewing everything from her chest to her body before swallowing it.
The Dragon transford into Nix before even leaving the portal completely, which closed shortly after. Nix didn't say anything, advancing against the Ascendant and without wasting ti I joined her, knowing that the other 3 would be able to take care of themselves now.
