Chapter 1084: Stepping Up To Combat Part 3

As I was watching the Demonic Dragon being devoured I felt 2 things at the same time, one was an awareness probably of one of my Familiars trying to say something but I wasn't able to pay attention, a sense of danger suddenly dawned on me as all my instincts screamed that something dangerous was above. 

Before I even looked I could feel the energy of the pure Elements tremble for half a second which was followed by a deafening silence that lasted for another half second. 

When I look up what I see is a sphere of darkness similar to a black hole filled with rays of chaotic energy with various colors inside, looking down at that I could feel something inside me resonate, it was the destruction of harmony and the limit of Chaos, it was pure annihilation. 

But soon I saw space itself close in around the sphere of destruction as if crushing it until there was nothing left but empty space with nothing. 

"What was this?" (I) 

"(Done...)" (Karina) 

I seemed to hear Karina's faint voice and when I looked around what I found was just something floating where the Demon Dragon's body had been, this was a Dragon Seal. 

I immediately understood what had happened, but I didn't have time to think about it, these weren't the only enemies, I looked around noticing that other battles were taking place in many places, the gray creatures that emerged from the dark doors were smaller in number than I remembered, but the number of rotten creatures increased a lot with new types appearing like creatures made from rotten plants, earth rotting like meat and some bizarre things made from random body parts put together. 

I wanted to start running towards these enemies, but suddenly when I tried to run I ended up falling face down on the ground while my body shrunk all at once back to normal size. 

"Damn... haaahhhh!!!!" (I) 

Suddenly something falls on top of me, they were giant pieces of wood, several parts fell one at a time, and before I could do anything that wood turned to dust burying my body. 

Then the looking crystal I was carrying glowed when I felt something flow inside, this energy created a wave of energy that spread the por in all directions, that's when I realized that I was being carried in Sakura's arms. 

"< Physical Recovery >" (Sakura) 

She places her hand on my chest and a warm energy envelops my body as it makes the weakness I was feeling disappear, I stand up more easily and look at Sakura who looks exactly the same as before but her Aura was different, much stronger than before. 

"I want to ask some questions, but we have a fight to finish." (I) 

I knew that my body was only temporarily weak due to the transformation I still hadn't gotten used to, I wasn't exhausted or fatally injured and so I would only need a few minutes to recover, a time that was shortened by Sakura's help. 

"Sense any more enemies... never mind, bring Hela here, now!" (I) 

In my vision, thousands of what looked like Ghosts made of darkness surged out of the forest towards us, but I knew they weren't Ghosts, they were actually the Corrupted Souls. 

I've never seen any of these Corrupted Souls have any fighting ability when they're out of their bodies, but I couldn't be sure what their amount of Corrupted Souls could do. 

"She's already here, what do you think they're running from?" (Sakura) 

"..." (I) 

Soon I see a giant skull emerge from behind the Corrupted Souls followed by 5 others, the skulls were red in color with purple lines drawn on their surfaces and they all seemed linked by what looked like thick chains holding them to something still behind the Corrupted Souls. 

It was only now that I realized they were running towards us, not attacking. 

The skulls seemed to be devouring the Corrupted Souls and as I guessed, these Corrupted Souls don't have any battle capabilities. 

Even though the 6 skulls were trying very hard, there were simply too many Corrupted Souls to devour. 

Soon a wave of chilling energy spread through the surroundings then a large Dragon 300 meters tall or possibly more appeared, its entire body made of bones, it was hunched over while its jaws were open seeming to suck in the corrupted Souls in the surroundings. 

I quickly noticed that the thick chains attached to the skulls became thinner as they approached the Bone Dragon, but specifically on its back where I glimpsed Hela with 6 crystals floating around her. 

"I think we can leave that side to her." (I) 

I exchange a look with Sakura before she sinks into the earth and I run towards the nearest enemies, that's when I noticed a strange breeze hitting my body and I looked down, I was completely without clothes, while I was running I used an item that I equipped another set of clothes directly on my body. 

Of course, I took the Dragon Seal before leaving where I was, not to mention that the great Leech I created had disappeared without me noticing, I think even before my transformation was over.

Pov Elizabeth: 

I was looking at something Caitlyn found after we dealt with the last incident tied to the trip on Natasha's back. 

It was some kind of red and black cocoon, there were lines that almost looked like living tentacles tying Corrupted Souls in the surroundings and pulling to be absorbed into the cocoon, we arrived in time to see a Dragon Soul being absorbed, this Soul still retained a Dragon image even who was smaller in size, also looked like a corrupted Soul, but there seemed to be more imprinted on his Soul than just this filthy corruption. 

"What is this thing?" (I) 

"The Soul thing or the cocoon thing?" (Caitlyn) 

"We can make some pretty good guesses about the Corrupted Soul, what I want to know is this 'Cocoon?' or whatever it is." (I) 

"I have no idea, I found them making those gray things to pieces before capturing their souls, the rest you can see what you do." (Caitlyn) 

"..." (I) 

It's not often that I find something that I can't figure out what it could be, I tried to get closer as those lines or tentacles don't seem to attack us and I soon find that it just ignores me. 

I touch its surface and run my fingers along that line, even though I don't feel exactly any presence from this cocoon, the texture and sense of touch are unmistakable to me who sleep every night in a bed full of that same line. 

"It seems to be Zenos' work, I don't know what this thing could be, but leave it as it is for now, we can talk to Zenos later about it... what are you doing, Natasha?" (I) 

"Getting rid of the dead weight? Throwing out the garbage or feeding whatever this cocoon is, pick whatever answer you like and stick with it, but I'm not going to spend all day carrying that idiot." (Natasha) 

"Now if you'll excuse me, it looks like you still have a lot of enemies and I haven't killed enough yet." (Natasha) 

Natasha simply throws our prisoner on top of the cocoon, I wanted to try and get him back, I still had more to do with this Evil God, but before I could do anything a Leech with 4 eyes appears being made from several of the threads in the cocoon and swallows the prisoner whole before I can get to him, then turns to me and seems to smile as if mocking me. 

"I'm going to destroy this thing." (I) 

"The problem is yours and Zenos's, I'll go after that of the other presence we sense." (Caitlyn) 

"Try not to kill him." (I) 

The 4-eyed Leech fell apart in a line and there was nothing left of the prisoner, the few blue blood stains were being absorbed by the lines. 

"I'll take care of you later." (I) 

I couldn't stand by, there are some idiots trying to take advantage of the chaos of the battle, I knew Natasha wasn't going to go along with the plan and Caitlyn was going to go it alone, at least they helped me with a tricky one. 

"How did this Evil God get a vessel without anyone noticing?" (I) 

As I passed these things I spread my blood wings to fly in the opposite direction of Caitlyn.

Pov Hela: 

"This is starting to piss me off." (I) 

"You cannot fight your Blessing my lady." (Hellyos) 

I was doing my best to collect the Corrupted Souls, the process of corrupting these souls could be used on Ghosts or Wraiths, maybe even used in a new application of Soul magic, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't capture any as they are all taken to Hell. 

"Get away from me you damn thing..." (I) 

"I ask that you refrain from going against me, my Goddess has asked me to make sure you fulfill your duty." 

"I'm fulfilling what you asked, but could I..." (I) 

"Soul-corrupting techniques like this must not be known and everything about it must be erased while the fools involved will be punished in eternal torment, so think carefully about your actions daughter of Zenos." 

The one next to me was a Phantom with a completely materialized body that for some reason had Holy energy around it appearing to be a woman dressed in pink and full of jewels. 

A projection of the High Priestess of the Goddess Kalistos, she's not really here, in fact, she doesn't seem to even be in this world right now, and she's using a Ghost to watch over what I do at the Goddess's bidding. 

"(I hate this one...)" (I) 

"(I can hear her thoughts, so refrain from taking offense before a representative of the Demon Goddess of Death.)" 

"..." (I)
