Will of chaos
Chapter 289 Cap 288: Assault On Farus’ Fortress Conclusion(Chapter Preview)Hearing Farus' voice speaking one thing from inside the creature and hearing a different voice coming out of the creature's three mouths was enough for me to understand who was in front of me, I just had to consider their conversation and this creature's appearance to realize that it was the Heretic God Kaharak.
After finishing his laugh he looks in my direction making a shiver run through my body.
"You've spoiled my plans twice so far, Chosen of the Witch of Carnage." (God Kaharak)
"First you destroyed the Dungeon that would be an important resource for the invasion of this continent, not only that but you dared to steal something from me, you who are a mere mortal." (God Kaharak)
"Now you come here to completely destroy plans from centuries of toil and wait." (God Kaharak)
"I'm sure these Fairies appearing here must also be related to you, so I want you to speak your mind before I kill you." (God Kaharak)
"..." (I)
Looks like this time I'm really going to have a big problem, he really wants to kill me, he's not even trying to hide the endless bloodlust pouring out of his body, my legs won't stop shaking and I'm holding myself up by willpower alone which is the only thing I have at the moment still useful.
"If I'm going to die anyway, then why would I say anything..." (I)
Before I finish speaking I see a blur as I feel my body being dragged without being able to resist, I don't understand what happened, all I know is that now I'm in one of Heretic God Kaharak's four bone hands, he's holding me forcefully breaking most of my bones.
Arght!!!!
"You're going to tell me everything I want to know, that wasn't a Vampire question, that was an order, even if I need to find out by digging through your mind and soul." (God Kaharak)
I was doing my best not to scream, I didn't want to give this bastard that pleasure, but I was also desperate not knowing what to do, after I died he would kill everyone else too.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that moment I feel several energies sprouting inside me, these energies destroy the hand that was holding me and heals my body, it took me a few seconds to understand what was happening and realize that these were the Blessings of the Fairy Kings and the two Goddesses protecting.
"It seems that you are liked by the Fairy Goddess too, I can even feel the Blessings of Fairy Kings on you..." (God Kaharak)
"That's because he's very important to us." (Hera)
When the energy of blessings surrounded me I was able to feel that the Fairy Kings were coming towards me and they weren't far away.
Their speed was faster than I expected, soon seven beings appeared flying in the sky, each one was holding a multicolored sword that pointed at the Heretic God Kaharak, then half of a multicolored energy humanoid form with the appearance of Goddess Aine appeared behind the Heretic God Kaharak with his hands on either side of him, then a multicolored energy sphere surrounds him.
I look up and only see three Fairy Kings that I recognize were the Fairy Queen of Wood with the name of Hera, the Fairy Queen of Space with the name of Mavis, and the Fairy King of Fire with the name of Foros.
Soon I see a blood-covered and skinless body is thrown out of the multicolored sphere, then I see Hera come towards me and help heal me, with her power it only took a second for me to be in perfect health again.
"This time I have to apologize to you, he drew our attention away, we thought he was going to try to run away, but it looks like he tricked us and was going to try to run away using the body of his own Priest." (Hera)
"So it's over?" (I)
"Not yet, what we took is just a part of it, the Priest's body was not a vessel capable of containing the mind, the power or even the Heretic God himself in full." (Hera)
"But with that part of him we will be able to invade the God Realm of Kaharak, he was already injured and now he lost a part of his power by doing this to his Priest, so we should be able to win without losing anyone." (Hera)
"I hope the reward they promised me is good, I could have died, my group could have died." (I)
"I will come to you to deliver your reward later, but there is another reward waiting for you in Sapphire Village, that is the reward for fulfilling the God of Spirits' request." (Hera)
"I hope you're not lying to me because it was so hard to do all this." (I)
"I'll meet you in a week, you can do what you want with that Priest, even more Zenos." (Hera)
Without saying another word, Hera and the other Fairy Kings disappear, the humanoid form and the multicolored sphere also disappear, I am confused by these rapid changes of event one after the other, but soon I realize that I have to prioritize the safety of my party.
I look around and see all the troops unconscious, only the people in my group were awake but they were all on the ground, the ones that are in the best condition are Ivan kneeling on the ground and Sapphire supporting herself with her sword to keep from falling, Freya is near the hole in the wall that Nix made still in the ground looking at me confused.
I look around but I don't see either Irius, Diana, Leo, or Ibuki.
I first go to what must be Farus' body, his body is so destroyed that I can't even tell what race or gender this thing is, I use my threads to tie his hands, feet and then wrap around the whole body forming a cocoon leaving only the head out, this is just prevention.
"(Don't know how he's still alive after that.)" (I)
After that I start helping everyone else, meanwhile, Nix and Elsaris appear walking with difficulty through the hole in the wall where we entered, it seems that they too had been affected by the Heretic God Kaharak's Aura.
----------
After a while, those who were in the best condition began to search the whole fortress to find the ones that were missing from our troops and to find the rest of my group.
With everyone gathered we started to treat everyone who survived, no one said anything about the battle or the number of dead now, no one celebrated either, the priority was to treat the wounded.
Vanessa woke up after a few hours, she helped heal many while sending everyone into the dungeon, Kira seems to have had no problem with her job of killing hidden mages so was helping to get everyone into the dungeon along with those who were in better shape condition.
Byakko and Nix were looking at all the survivors of Farus' troops who were the people who were immobile after being hit by the ritual magic that covered the entire fortress, while the last people entered the Dungeon the two Spirits came to talk to me.
"Did you find anything?" (I)
"We found out that the bodies are alive, but they all don't have a soul, if we leave it as is soon they will be affected by the miasma and either turn into monsters or be possessed by some wandering soul, maybe even a ghost." (Nix)
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Farus really was very cruel, it seems he took the souls of his troops while they were still alive and then sealed the souls with a curse on their bodies." (Byakko)
"Now that you say that, I remember that the village leader had told me about something like this before." (I)
"Can't we do anything for them then?" (I)
"No, Vanessa's magic broke the curse that sealed their souls, so their souls must have already gone to the God of the Dead and then back to the circle of reincarnation." (Byakko)
"So it's better to take everyone into the dungeon and kill them there, it might give us some DP, it might also prevent their bodies from being affected by the miasma that still covers the mountain range." (I)
"I think it would be the best thing to do, it would let them rest in peace at least." (Nix)
"Where is Farus?" (I)
"That Lamia named Sapphire took him into the Dungeon, after that, we heard screams for a few hours." (Byakko)
"I should have known this would happen from the way the village leader looked at him, but I think after all he's done he deserved this ending." (I)
"What do we do now?" (Nix)
"Rest for today and leave for tomorrow, everyone is tired, I think we deserve a peaceful rest, plus we still have to clean all these bodies still on the floor." (I)
"The master wants me..." (Nix)
"We're not going to do the same thing again, unlike last time we're not in a hurry now so we can take our time cleaning up these bodies." (I)
p
Space itself started to crack on top of some mountains in the distance, soon after violent energy comes out of the cracks and five whole mountains disappear in the blink of an eye, the ground didn't even shake, the mountains were just there and in the next second, they weren't more, after that a powerful energy radiates with the colors of the rainbow spreading a divine Aura in all directions.
I hear Vanessa running towards me as she talks nervously.
"This is too bad, we have to get out of the mountain range as soon as possible." (Vanessa)
