Chapter 1079: Battle In Chaos Part 8

I would like to say that it was easy to defend Silvia, that there were only those 4 enemies where I managed to kill 3 with the help of other people and arrest 1, but unfortunately, it was not the end. 

I saw many other enemies coming 3 I couldn't help the few who were already defending Silvia when I arrived, I left Orion and Hinata who are my Familiars to protect Silvia personally, I told them not to leave her side without my permission and that way I could engage just in combat without worrying about Silvia. 

The worst thing about a battle is getting distracted at a critical moment, I don't have to fight waves of enemies alone this time, I just need to hold the line of defense while others join me as time passes. 

I'm sure the problem with the senses was something everyone felt, as many of me must have found a way to overcome this problem, now that space is less volatile these people must stick to the plan, so it's just a matter of time. 

"That one is big... but that one..." (I) 

A gray giant that had one arm longer than the other was coming, I didn't even need him to get too close to know that it was an enemy, his body is full of wounds that look like rotting flesh, now that the space was getting more and more stable I could spread my Aura hands, which in turn heightens the real-time picture in my mind. 

Even in this situation I didn't want to look into my eyes again, being so close to the World Tree I know that space can distort again and I don't want to be left in the dark during combat. 

"I'm going for the big one, your defense can be dangerous." (I) 

"Let's increase the power more." (I) 

"< Dragon's Awakening: 10% >" (I) 

I could feel the power taking over my body, I could feel my scales grow not only in size but in thickness as well as I upgraded my transformation to 10%. 

I feel the power wash over me but I don't let it go to my head, I fall onto my back sinking into my shadow as I prepare a spell. 

"< Shadow Inversion >" (I) 

Chains tighten around my body and I feel a great weight that gradually eases as I ascend from the shadow world back to the normal world, but on the way I catch a glimpse of something that I don't immediately recognize and I hear a voice full of will. 

"I wait..." 

As soon as I step out of the shadow of a large boulder, in front of me I see only the giant's head being pulled by black currents into its own shadow. 

"< Blood Curse: Shadow Goblins >" (I) 

I let my blood drain from my wrist to fall into my shadow, then countless red eyes appear from the surrounding shadows before disappearing, they are Black Goblins with very similar appearances to the one I myself had when I was still a Goblin. 

This is a Curse that uses my blood, Aura and Authority to create Shadow creatures, theoretically, I can create any creature, but I found that the better my understanding of the creature, the better its abilities and intelligence, they are creatures without Soul, mother still have a simple mind to follow orders like Lesser Familiars. 

"This will provide some assistance depending on how many are left when the Giant is defeated." (I) 

"This time there's more..." (I) 

I run towards 30 or more enemies, and this time one of them was someone who entered the forest with me and the others, he was just ahead of the creatures, but he wasn't running away and I could see one of his eyes rotting. 

"< Earthquake >" (I) 

"< Living Roots >" (I) 

I use earth magic to make the surroundings start to shake at the same time as I use wood magic to make many roots sprout from the ground, it's two low-level magic being used over a wide area. 

These two magics being used together and empowered by my Holy Power have far more catastrophic effects than should be possible, the earth doesn't just shake, cracks and craters forming as the earth collapses. 

The roots that emerge from the ground have a thickness comparable to my height or even greater in many cases, the place in front of me became an irregular area of roots where I started to jump and move freely as if I had grown up in this area. 

With the image of my head as a base, I could see everything and started attacking the enemies one at a time, I knew that normal wounds were useless so I used Poison which I mixed with my Holy Power. 

These were enemies of a similar strength to me, so I avoided direct confrontation, I didn't need to prolong the combat, I slashed the arm of one with my claw as I passed him, I saw a group of three where I used one of my claws on each one while the third was hit by my tail when he tried to hit me in the back. 

Then I entered a shadow and appeared near the exit of the root field where there were 10 enemies trying to ignore my presence to go towards Silvia, I attacked them with an illusion that seems not to deceive them. 

So I'm enmeshed in a direct combat where I only had time to defend the first attacks, which made me fall into a purely defensive position because I didn't have a chance to attack. 

"< Hellfire Prison >" (I) 

I use Demonic magic creating an almost instantaneous magic circle on the ground in an area that encompasses both me and enemies in combat with me. 

This magic creates a sealing barrier around us before cursed purple flames engulf everything inside, that includes me. 

The enemies seem to give up and didn't even try to run away, even within the flames they attacked blindly, but because the area was relatively small, half of their blows seemed to come towards me, they didn't even show pain or suffering with their bodies turning to ash. 

I was unaffected while running Holy Power through my body, for starters my body is heat resistant and this is my own power, I can manipulate the flames to move away before reaching my body creating a thin layer of flameless space around it around me. 

When the blows stopped coming towards me, I stopped the magic, when the flames disappeared, the bubbling molten body appeared in front of me and a hole in space was closing, so the Souls must have already been taken. 

"We have a problem." (Sakura) 

"What it was?" (I) 

Instead of answering me, a large flower emerges from the ground raised two above the height of the largest root in the root-filled area I created, then points in one direction. 

This time I opened my eyes, interrupting the technique, knowing that whatever Sakura was pointing at might be too far away to use this technique, so I used my eyes. 

What I saw was hundreds of doors of pure darkness emerging and opening, what came out from inside were mostly Black Souls like many I've seen so far, but there were also hundreds of people with clothes made of black leather, all of them had gray skin dark covered in purple tattoos and possessing purple eyes. 

"This is not good... not good at all..." (I) 

Among them was a Man who immediately knew he was a Dragon, by his features I should have considered him a Dragonewt, but for some reason, I was sure he was a Dragon. 

He was in the middle of them, but his clothes and appearance were different, but for a second when I looked at him his eyes turned completely purple like those around him, he looked at me and smiled as if he did it to show his eyes. 

He points not in our direction, but in the direction where Silvia is, it seems that they are more focused on Silvia, it seems that this big magic circle is more important than what has been said. 

I look around while I still have time, and that's when I saw many other people who arrived while I was fighting. 

"That's all!?" (I) 

"No, there are many others, but they are in the middle of combat in different places." (Sakura) 

Sakura puts her hand on my forehead and for a second it feels like my consciousness is going through countless paths as it branches out further and further until my mind aches. 

Then little by little many points of view different from mine appear in my mind, each one revealing people struggling, to be able to understand things better I limited my attention only to people's faces and I was able to quickly identify my companions who seemed to be fine, many were injured, but they're not in danger, mainly because most of the monsters will come to where I am now. 

After seeing this I take Sakura's hand off my head and open my eyes, it seems that the enemies are still not coming towards us, they are standing still while the dark doors disappear, they seem to be waiting for something. 

"With your help, I can bring everyone here." (Sakura) 

"I know, but better not or all the monsters will gather here a lot faster." (I) 

With so many people using big attacks in the same place, the decay of harmony is going to be very fast here in this situation, the environment is bad enough, and I don't want to push the limits any further than what I'm already doing. 

Sigh 

"Maybe you can help me with something else." (I) 

"Are you going to do that? Really?" (Sakura) 

"Got a better plan?" (I) 

Sakura looks at the number of enemies, they are too far away for me to feel their strength, but I know Sakura can feel it through the trees. 

"The Tech needed Freya or Silvia." (Sakura) 

"This was before evolution, this will be different, if you can bear it." (I) 

"I can bear it, we can start whenever you want, master." (Sakura) 

I take a few deep breaths and go over in my mind what I'm going to do, a symbol is revealed in my mind, a black tree with white leaves. 

I reach out my hand in one direction and Sakura places her hand behind mine, so Wood Element Ki flows through my veins where I mix with my Holy Power, with My Aura, with my Demonic Power, and with my Authority, the mixture of these powers it would be conflicting at least if it weren't for my Aura acting as a base for having all these characteristics from the beginning. 

That power passes from my body into Sakura's and I feel her hand tremble behind mine, but even so I remain focused, the energy flowing into Sakura will condense in her body as her own Aura mixes before coming back through mine and heading for me the Symbol I made in front of my hand crystallized my own blood. 

In the beginning, the Symbol was completely red because it was made of my crystallized blood, but when the energy leaves Sakura's hand and crosses mine causing a little pain, that energy is absorbed by the symbol that becomes made of black crystal with the white part being just the leaves of the tree. 

Sakura and I charged all that power into the symbol using our combined wills before using the symbol as the Core of our technique. 

"(Master, the technique looks different...)" (Sakura) 

"(Yes, now I have what I lacked before, we both have it, use your Authority along with mine...)" (I) 

Both my Authority and that of my Familiars is not the same as in the past, now they do not have a characteristic of my Authority, each of them has their own Authority awakened through one of the Characteristics of my Authority, but which belong only to them. 

"< Nature's Summon: Eclipse Tree >" (me/Sakura)
