Chapter 1075: Battle In Chaos Part 4
Pov Sakura:
I was walking with ease since I entered this place, space can act strange but it doesn't affect me, mine was never my main sense.
My perception of nature is the first sense I learned, I can feel everything around me and share the sense with the plants around me.
With every step, I can connect with the surrounding plants, so I know where the monsters are, but I also know where the Master is.
"Everyone seems to be doing well, at least they'd like to say so, but unfortunately not everyone is ready to bone." (I)
"I'll focus on helping them." (I)
Unlike others, my skills are easier to use and speed up in energy cost, the Ki I need is used to strengthen my body or the plants being manipulated by me.
That's exactly why I kept walking while making roots, plants, and branches trap any creature in the vicinity of me without ever deviating the direction of my walk, but whenever I passed by the creatures that I purposely placed on the sides of my path, I used the Master's Aura who has death as one of her Traits, I use this Aura in my hand while turning my fingers into whips as respectful as blades.
The creatures' bodies were torn to pieces and I could see Souls as abnormal as their superior appearances leaving their bodies only to be caught in chains that dragged these Souls to Hell.
I only paid attention to Limeira once before putting it aside to keep walking, I could feel Elsaris fighting alone, Samira wasn't far from her, in fact, she was fighting better.
Elsaris wasn't able to use her Fire or Thunder, her weapons also did little damage, she was taking too long to defeat a clearly weaker enemy and little by little more of these enemies are surrounding her.
Samira seems to be doing much better, unlike her sister she is using Master's Holy Power, and with this, she was doing much more effective damage.
As I walked the monsters kept coming towards me, after the deaths of the first ones some tried to ambush and others tried to attack from above, but the result was always the same, I could see all of them from infinite angles because we were in a place full of nature.
Those who try to ambush me die without ever coming out of their hiding places due to a carnivorous plant full of Holy Power and those who try to attack me from above were pierced by thorns being shot in their direction making their bodies in pieces still in the air.
"This thing is disgusting." (I)
I try to stay away from the goo that their bodies end up becoming in the end, I avoid even their blood, the feeling of rejection that I feel these things is very strong.

Pov Irina:
I walked in confidently but I can't see or hear anything clearly, the space itself seems to be trying to crush my body, if it weren't for my strength I would be being slammed back and forth by the interruption of the space around me.
"Calm down, Irina." (I)
"Your priority should be to find a way... I know..." (I)
Because I couldn't see anything, I had no way of identifying enemies, even some were so distorted that I couldn't tell the direction of the sound, the rotten smell everywhere also confused my nose.
Worst of all was me trying to think of a way to move around this place without being able to figure out where I was going, I had to find a way to perceive my surroundings but I was being attacked by some things, luckily I had put up a barrier around me who was supporting me defender.
It was exactly this barrier around me that gave the idea I needed, I couldn't see anything and none of my senses worked the way I needed them to, that includes my Aura, so I could resort to what has always been my specialty, the use of barriers.
The idea I came up with was to create hundreds of layered barriers inches apart from each other, these barriers would not have any defensive or illusionary effects being just the training version of a barrier, something that is normally used during training.
This type of barrier will be around me in an acceptable area, the barrier will not prevent any kind of energy or matter, but using this I will be able to identify the shape of anything that passes through the barriers and thus forming a layered image that my mind can understand.
With this I should be able to walk or even run if I get used to it, I should also be able to use it to keep an eye on all directions at once.
"Wait... but which way am I going?" (I)
I had the perfect idea for me to move around here, but it only works in a limited area around me.
But I noticed something useful, since I entered the forest I walked in a straight line and since the moment I stopped here, I haven't moved from this place.
Thanks to that I got the idea to just keep going forward, I'm sure this will make me meet someone else at some point while also getting me closer to the World Tree, I just have to be careful not to get too far close.
While lost in thought the numbers of the creatures attacking my barrier continued to grow and now there must be hundreds, I think I'm wasting too much time thinking about this place, first I have to formulate the magic circle.
I pull out an unused magic crystal that I keep in storage, then use it to imprint the magic circle inside it and use the Mana of a few thousand global silver coins to serve as a power source for that crystal, at least that way I don't have to control this even simple magic while playing in the middle of a battle.
As it was something simple, it only took me a few minutes to complete, so I activated the crystal and attached it to a piece of rope made from my father's lines to leave it securely around my waist.
"< Activate >" (I)
As soon as I activate it I notice the barriers forming around me, but then I realize an error in the magic, I didn't maintain a connection with the magic, so there was no way I could keep a firm grip on all the barriers which would be exactly what will allow me use this plan.
I quickly turned off the crystal's magic to add new magic circles to it, it was even faster taking only a few seconds, so I re-activate the magic crystal which is once again stuck in my waist.
"Now that this problem is solved, it's time to clean up these nuisances." (I)
"< Blood Magic: Butcher's Barrier >" (I)
I bite my finger and use my blood to create a large layered Magic circle when I use this spell, then a mist of Blood forms around me, and I limit its area of effect to the area I can now perceive enemies.
The fog itself is a type of Barrier that causes disorientation and sealing, at least those are the normal effects on this type of barrier for other people.
The monsters that touched the red mist had blood particles that stuck in their bodies, impeding their movements more and more.
With my evolution the corrosion ability that my Father bestowed upon me in the past has now become a permanent feature of my magic, its name has become Butcher Mana, I don't like that name which makes me sound like a criminal, but it's still something amazing to use in battle.
Unfortunately, I can't see the effects clearly and these creatures don't seem to scream, in fact, I'm not sure they even feel pain.
All the creatures in the world are being melted down while their vitality is being consumed, when the bodies died I felt something emerge, but my barriers were not able to feel it, but close to me a hole in space appeared close enough for me to see, that's when I saw the current emerging from this hole in space and soon it was dragging something that I recognized as a strangely colored Soul.
But that was just the first Soul, soon many more holes appeared before currents dragged more of these Souls.
"Let's continue." (I)
With the enemies gone and not wanting to stand still I walk forward as the red mist becomes two red wolves walking beside me, this is still a form I created using the barrier, they are not real creatures but their current appearance helps greatly giving greater effect to attacked targets.
With that ready I continued on my way completely destroying the enemies, but little by little I realized that my Mana consumption was going too fast, that's when I noticed the Mana leaving my body as if it was being absorbed from me.
But right now I use my Father's Holy power in my Aura, it prevents my Mana from being stolen, at least that wasn't too bad, it worked really well to fight like that, so keep going to the next enemies.
