Chapter 1364: Surpass Your Limits!
Chapter 1364: Surpass Your Limits!
The battle around Eden raged ever more chaotic than before, with Felicia gone after taking down half of the foes, she still left 2500 Demonic Beasts for the rest to fend off as a "Trial", this only cemented the thought in her disciples of how insane their master was, not just as a figurative way to call out of her strange things, but that she was, in fact, not right in her mind and was insane and crazy, quite literally a mad person.
And the worst part was that they probably weren't completely wrong either, Felicia was born different than anybody before, and her first years of life, unlike anybody else, were the scariest things she could still remember, her mind had to grow differently than the rest to adapt to her abilities, and to how she saw the world compared to the rest.
Of course, this wasn't something they knew yet, Felicia's Homunculus aided her disciples Celica and Celeste, as they fought against hundreds of Demonic Beasts on their own, an utterly ridiculous thing they would have never imagined they would end up doing after coming to Sylph's dungeon for a "small request" that ended escalating out of proportions.
"Come on girls, I think you can still unleash more of your true powers, you're still in the stage of evolving!"
Felicia said using her Homunculus body, unleashing infernos of flames and frost as she pleased, and manipulating the weather with alchemy to release thunder and winter hails.
"See what I can do? Alchemy can do this and more! And yours is very special. Your unique magic has been fused with the alchemy you've learned, something I never thought could happen! You've literally created a new branch of alchemy from your own genius level talents! But it's not enough! Not enough at all!"
She rushed across the skies, gathering lightning into a massive sphere and throwing it into the ground, unleashing a gigantic explosion that killed over fifty Demonic Beasts at once.
BOOOMMM!!!
Then, as she saw the calcinated bodies of the Demonic Beasts, she giggled and sat down over a floating cloud, which she synthetized into something capable of holding her weight. "Now, now, get to it! Unleash your true potential like before!" she said, clapping her hands as if demanding it out of her disciples.
Celeste and Celica could hardly believe it! They knew she was a bit weird and sometimes rather emotionless, but this was just the worst! She was now showing her true self to them, someone demanding, cocky, insane, and obsessed with alchemy.
"How are you even a Hero, you insane master?!" Celeste was about to throw her spear at her, but she could hardly do that. "Dammit! So many of you bastard demonic beast things! Just die already!"
She quickly summoned her spear that had finished impaling a dozen monsters, overflowing with demonic energies and chaotic power, her blazing spear, which had now grown to a much larger, robust form than ever before through evolving in a similar way Sylphy's weapons evolved, pierced through the bodies of the attacking demonic beasts one after another. Serpent, lions, wolves, twisted forms of all sorts of "normal" animals now turned into aberrant demonic monstrosities, they attacked Celeste at once, both physical and magical blows which she had to rapidly evade by flying with her bat-like wings, a result of fusing with her spirit which gave her bat-like appearance and enhanced shadow and curse magic powers. CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
As the spear massacred the demonic beasts, more came from behind her, she waved her hand as the flames and demonic miasma they left behind came together into the palm of her hand, materializing several gigantic wolf-like jaws made of red colored demonic miasma and blazing demonic flames of dark red and black colors.
"{Dark Geomancy}: {Demonic Wolf's Jaws}"
CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
The sound of ferocious wolves devouring and biting echoed across the battlefield as they continued tearing apart her foes, but it was not enough, more kept coming, endlessly, this time stronger than before, like that dragon they had fought before, chimeras and even angelic-like beings, fallen angel-type demonic beasts!
"AAAHHHH!"
"ООООНН!"
"LAAAAHH!"
They cried in echoes as if they were singing, they were only a handful, but the fallen angel- type demonic beasts opened their crow talon-like hands, their broken, black feathered wings spreading as their disfigured faces unleashed a storm of black and red light. It was like an orchestra of the end.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Celeste desperately evaded with Celica, both girls running and flying away from their lives, these beams were too fast and exploded too quickly for Celeste to manipulate too.
"Uwaahah! This is getting out of control, Celesteeee!" Celica started slowly beginning to despair again. "Do something please, please!"
"My Dark Geomancy is not fast enough!" Celeste said. "Do something too, Celica! Use the Golem Domain! And your Special new Golems!"
"R-Right, oh yeah!" Celica had forgotten about everything once she entered in her state of panic, but quickly rearranged herself, manipulating the ground beneath her. "{Shape Forge Necromancy}: {Golem Domain}!!!"
RUMBLE!
The ground below them shook tremendously as the stone, dirt, and the burned forests around transformed, imbued with dozens of demonic souls Celica forcefully imbued into the land, gigantic golems made of stone and dirt emerged by the dozens, each one over thirty meters of
height.
"GRUOOOHHHH!"
They quickly started defending the girls, protecting them from the beams of the fallen angel- type demonic beasts, rushing in front of the blows as they blew up into pieces, as strong as they were, they were still stone and dirt.
"Not bad! Turning the ground itself into golems directly?! That's amazing!" clapped Felicia. "But you'll need more than that to get through them, Celica, my disciple!"
"W-Why is she like this?!" Celica cried. "Ahhh... D-Don't panic, don't panic...!"
"You got this Celica, I trust you!" Celeste said, patting her shoulders as she continued
fighting the demonic beasts.
"Celeste..." Celica saw her adoptive big sister, smiling faintly.
And then she looked at the sky, Sylphy and her father fighting against an even greater threat
all on their own.
Things certainly didn't go as she wanted them to go but...
Right now, she knew she couldn't hesitate.
Despite her mind being different than others, thanks to their love and affection, she held
similar values to them.
Even if it sometimes didn't show in front of others...
"I need more ingredients..." she sighed, looking at the corpses of the demonic beasts.
"Right... {Necromancy Synthesis}!"
FLUOOOSH!
Celica unleashed her powers combined together, touching the ground again, as countless of golem hands and phantasmal hands grabbed almost a hundred demonic beast corpses.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
And then she absorbed them into the land, further fusing them together, Celica put her
everything and even her two new little golems.
Evolved new versions of them, small, yet mysteriously powerful!
"You can do it guys! Combine with them!"
"Yes... master!"
"Masterrrr!"
The two leaped into the mass of flesh and stone, further combining together as the sky turned
black and space itself seemed to waver slightly.
"Oooh?!" Felicia suddenly noticed something strange. "Don't tell me! Has this girl already reached that stage?! Its incomplete but still... I knew it! My disciples are full of boundless
talent!"
As Felicia celebrated, a powerful Domain expanded.
And Celica's eyes glowed blue with phantasmal energies.
"{Necromancy Synthesis + Necromancy Shape Forge}: {Undying Golem World Domain}"
RUMBLE!
Unknowingly, Celica had reached a new stage.
