"Now…look who is here…fucking winged pieces of shit!" Nial cursed out loud when he noticed what kind of being had appeared out of nowhere.
Slowly, Nial started to comprehend what was going on and it caused him to feel even more enraged than before.
His blood was boiling in rage and even the being that had appeared out of nowhere couldn't force him to calm down.
Holy Aura and tremendous pressure filled the surrounding area and the weakened dark energy around Bella began to disperse.
When Nial noticed this, he scowled before he released some of his dark energy that was altered by the [Blood Eclipse Moon] that strengthened to an extent where it couldn't be easily destroyed.
He retracted the remaining dark energy and only used the bloody dark energy to create thorny vines that pierced deep inside Bella's flesh.
She screamed out in pain, which caused the being that was hovering in the air to look at Nial with wrath-filled eyes.
"You!!! How dare you injure our Saintess?!" The being snarled in the human language, and manifested dozens of Light Spears that were all released to attack Nial just a moment later.
"I don't care, who or what she is to you, you fucking poultry!" Nial shouted in anger after visualizing the human-like creature with feathered wings and created dozens of spears of darkness in return. The tip of his darkness spears was coated crimson, thanks to a small alteration through the [Blood Eclipse Moon] ability.
He blasted two darkness spears at each of the Light Spears to destroy them easily before he returned his whole attention back to the being, who wanted to rescue Bella.
The newcomer was an Angel, a powerful one at the Deux rank at that! Nial didn't know that Angels had already appeared on Jundra but it made things more complicated.
Nonetheless, Nial would never allow the Angel to take Bella away, whether she was their Saintess or their Goddess!!
"I will torture and kill her, so fuck off, or I will take your life as well!" Nial warned in an ice-cold voice, disregarding the strength of the Deux Angel completely while tightening the bloody darkness vines around Bella's body further to make his point.
The Essence of Darkness had spread further through her body and some of the dark energy within the thorny vines entered her body through the thorns that continued to dig deep into her flesh.
Nial did not have the slightest bit of mercy toward Bella right now. His entire existence was consumed by wrath and the thought of taking revenge, the thought of avenging his mother and killing Bella
Even now, his range of perception and [Mana Sense] were able to perceive what was going on inside his destroyed abode. The mansion was now just a large land of rubble and ruins, and his father was still sobbing bitterly, clutching Maline with shaking arms, begging her to move, to respond to his gut-wrenching pleas.
Hana had reached his home as well and the Elves, who were still at the destroyed mansion, were tending to the injuries Hana had faced and the unconscious Sabrina.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNial was glad that his sister was being taken care of but that didn't change the inevitable fact that his mother was dead and that she would never come back to life, never smile at him and never talk to him again.
Even if Nial didn't want to accept this reality, it was a fact and something that couldn't be changed.
Though Bella had never aimed directly at his mother, the fact remained that the girl he had once called his friend had attacked his sisters without an actual reason.
He could tell that Bella's Innate ability shared various memories with her and he knew how much they could influence someone.
But even if the influence of someone else's memories were not something that could be underestimated, it was also true that those memories were not essentially 'yours'. After all, he was a living example of such a case.
Had he let the memories and emotions take root in his mind and driven away all rationale and common sense, Nial would have attempted to eradicate all the Elves if he would have followed the memories of the God of Darkness. He knew that Damian hated the Elves to the core, but that didn't mean he would have to attack them.
It was simply not necessary because he didn't have a reason to be hostile to them. Elves were a complicated race, just like humans but that didn't mean the memories of the God of Darkness were enough to influence him to attack or kill innocent people just because Damian was vengeful.
However, that was exactly what Bella did. Not only had she attacked an innocent just because his sister had the constitution of a being which the memories of Bella's Innate ability labeled as 'evil' but Bella was not even remorseful about killing his mother.
In fact, she had let herself be blinded by hate and said that it had been Maline's inevitable fate to die for giving birth to Sabrina and Nial.
This was something Nial couldn't accept…he didn't want to accept it. Thus, all the memories that had been shoved deep inside his mind, whether it was his own or Damian's were strong enough now resurfaced, fueling him with madness. It amplified the strength of the dark energy to an extent where it was powerful enough to rival the Light affinity of the Deux Angel.
"YOUUU!!" The Deux Angel's face contorted in fury.
Yet, despite feeling all the anger churning in his gut, the Angel didn't dare to make a move.
He could tell that Nial had the capabilities to kill Bella at any moment. Their Saintess was already extremely weak and she was caught in the tangle of crimson and dark thorny veins.
It was impossible for the Saintess to free herself and a single wrong move would be enough for Nial to decide to kill her.
However, Nial wanted more than just to kill Bella. His uncontrollable emotions didn't allow him to kill her just like that. She had to suffer, painfully, for viciously snatching away what had been the dearest to him.
He wanted her to feel even worse, and beg him to kill her so as to free her of the pain. Nial wanted her to understand how big of a mistake she had made by attacking Sabrina, his dear sister, and for destroying their life by taking their mother.
Bella was never allowed to be happy again…that was something Nial was going to make sure of!
His thoughts grew worse and angrier by the second as the dark energy and Essence of Darkness circulated through his entire being. Destructive thoughts were planted in his mind and the influence of the Ankh and the Fairies' Blessing decreased with every moment that passed.
The only advantageous influence they had was the amount of mana they pulled toward Nial. He absorbed more and more mana, made it his and turned it into dark energy without realizing it.
His rage, sadness and wrath were more than enough to make the Odyssey seed do everything on its own.
Nial's emotions influenced the Odyssey seed, the dark energy, and his Essence of Darkness a lot. The more anger he felt the stronger they became.
In return, the influence they had on him increased exponentially as well. His attitude toward everything around him began to change and Nial realized this quite clearly.
However, he didn't mind it. Nial couldn't care less because the only thing of importance left for him was to take slow revenge on Bella and to give his mother the eternal rest she deserved.
Nothing else mattered to him right now. He reached out with his right claw and grasped Bella's head tightly.
His claw shapeshifted with the use of some dark energy and it turned into a slimy mass that slithered down Bella's head and covered her face. She was suffocating but Nial didn't stop doing what he was doing.
He smiled devilishly in the direction of the Deux Angel, who had no idea what he was supposed to do.
A single glance was enough for him to tell that Nial would kill Bella the moment he would get a step closer..
Nial lifted his other hand when he noticed the Deux Angel's behavior and he created more than a hundred darkness spears that pointed in the Angel's direction.
"Dance for me!" He ordered before he shot the darkness spears toward the Angel one after another.
Meanwhile, he didn't forget about Bella, who was struggling for life.
She was struggling to grab the slimy mass of black energy that was choking her breath but it clung to her skin like a leech.
Nial only watched her futile struggle with a detached expression and he only moved his hand when he noticed that Bella was almost about to pass out.
He smashed her head in the ground as hard as he could.
Afterward, he removed the slimy mass of darkness, which Nial reshaped to Kaeldur's claw, that was also his right now.
Nial and Kaeldur were currently still fused through the Ancient Devilization, enhancing Nial's strength to the same threshold Bella had attained.
However, his anger and rage were more than enough to enhance the power of Kaeldur's even further. Kaeldur was nourished by emotions that reached an uncontrollable state and the desires of his master, merged with his own desire to kill and wreak havoc.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThrough this, the Ancient Devilization's effect increased further. Nial's strength skyrocketed over time and the more negative emotions accumulated in his heart.
Memories of Damian's worst times were transferred from the Odyssey seed and they were etched deep inside Nial's mind where they remained stuck.
Visualizing Bella in a nearly unconscious state was satisfying but it didn't ease his pain the slightest. He hadn't been strong enough to protect his mother and the only being he could blame for this was himself.
Bella was lying on the ground next to his feet, and she was alive only because Nial had granted her a few more breaths. Killing her wouldn't alleviate his pain but it would make sure that Bella would never have a second chance to attack Sabrina.
That was the most important right now, and not his thought of revenge.
The only thought that was more important than his revenge and anger was his desire to protect his family….or what was left of it…
With that in mind, he manifested a huge sword of darkness. It levitated right above Bella, its pointed tip hovering upon her abdomen. A simple flick of his wrist and it would pierce through her and end her life in an instant.
The Deux Angel was occupied with blocking and destroying the hundreds of darkness spears Nial was simultaneously controlling to make sure that nobody could interfere in the final strike he was about to deliver.
"Just do me the favor…die, and rot in hell!" Nial declared while willing the darkness sword to smash down on Bella.
He wanted her to disappear from his sight, forever!
Yet, just when Nial thought that he couldn't bear even a second of her being alive an overwhelming pressure began to weigh down on him.
Nial's senses were blurred and all his dark energy was destroyed in an instant. Only his Essence of Darkness remained as a huge domain of holy light swept through the surrounding.
A second Angel appeared in front of Nial all of a sudden and he only had to snip his fingers to blast Nial hundreds of meters backward.
"That was the first one for daring to speak rudely to the Saintess of Light!"
