885 Fake vs Real (1)
“I’ll take care of you later before going to the main course. Stay there and wait for your turn.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar destroyed Rhea’s divine item with a space distortion before it could have any effect.
She then rushed to chase the Devil Princess, who was carrying away the seriously injured Xentia.
“!?” Sylvia was surprised to find the fake Elysia had managed to catch up to her escape in no time. She tried to defend the incoming attack, but it was too strong to endure.
*Boom!* *Shatter*
A violent gust exploded upon contact with Sylvia’s divine protection barrier.
Her last layer of barrier collapsed into shards of particles. She was sent crashing to the ground with a violent thud.
“Ghak!” Sylvia vomited blood. Her bones felt shattered, and her divine battlesuit was also cracked everywhere. Even so, she still protected Xentia.
“Ely, Goddess Lina, Goddess Aria, please hurry and save us or this is the end for us…” Sylvia whimpered weakly as she looked up at the red sky. She couldn’t see clearly because blood covered her vision.
“…” Xentia just watched it all without being able to do anything. She could no longer move because she had used up all her strength, but it wasn’t enough to buy more than two minutes of time against the fake Elysia.
Sylvia’s presence allowed them to last two minutes longer, but now was the end of their struggle.
Elysia’s lips trembled as she watched Sylvia and Xentia’s situation through shared processing. She again sent telepathy to Rhea and Ai. However, her voice was not conveyed because her spirit was still sealed, and the connection to her spirit was also blocked.
Even so, information via shared processing was still conveyed to her.
“Sister Elena… Will you be able to ask Madam Lifa, Rhea and Nell later for help? I want you and the three Goddesses to save my spirit later.” Elysia muttered softly.
“What are you trying to do Ely!?” Elena felt Elysia would do something crazy and dangerous.
“My spirit recovery is quite slow. Therefore, I will rely on all of you to save me later. Please forgive your Ely, but I still remember my promise to you. Give me your blessing, okay?” Elysia smiled weakly.
“…” Elena opened her mouth, but her voice caught in her throat. Her lips quivered as she knew Elysia had already made a unanimous decision, even though it would hurt her significantly.
“Everyone might get hurt, but I can’t let Sylvia and Xentia die… That avatar will aim for Fortuna, then Rhea. That avatar copied our insane magic power, and that avatar’s magic energy was enormous.
It was like having a clone of me that would destroy the world. It’s all started, so allow me to finish. I will be back. That’s my promise to you.” Elysia gave her reassurance with a tender smile.
After seeing Elena’s subtle nod, Elysia closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again. She exerted all the force she had to create minimal wiggle room regardless of the spirit seal that bound her.
*Rip* *Crack* *Rustle*
Elysia forced her hands to move, even though her spirit skin and flesh were torn. No blood gushed out, but her spirit was damaged because of it.
“Argh!” Elysia gritted her teeth as she endured the tremendous pain. Still, she kept trying to free her spirit from the black chain seal by force despite injuring herself.
When her arms were liberated, she tore off all the black chain runes attached to her spirit skin, even though it hurt her a lot.
“…” Elena raised her hands. She had the urge to stop Elysia because she couldn’t see beyond that, but she couldn’t move.
“Arghh! I will eliminate you, Ruvoid God’s avatar!” Elysia tore off all of the seal runes and obliterated them. She could feel there was still a little bit left inside, but she didn’t have the time to take care of it now because Sylvia and Xentia’s lives were at stake.
Elysia returned to her body immediately, but her spirit damage was beyond severe. Her body was instantly injured upon the spirit sync.
“!?” The Ruvoid God’s avatar felt excruciating pain all of a sudden.
*Boom!*
Her attack missed her targets. She immediately fell to the ground and whimpered in pain. “That fake human girl is really crazy…”
“Kuh…” Elysia endured the pain very well because her primary focus was to save her friends. She summoned her fallen angel battlesuit and flew straight to the Ruvoid God’s avatar.
“Destroy all accursed creatures!” Elysia cried out, giving her orders. At this moment, she was truly furious. She emitted a thick, oppressive pressure and killing intent.
“!?” Rhea was both relieved and surprised. She had never seen Elysia’s terrifying aura like this before.
Yet, she could see Elysia’s spirit was damaged. Despite the worry, she had to do something ASAP.
“!!!” Ai and Cherub were driven out of Elysia’s shadow, but they understood the situation. Since Elysia was fine, they would act immediately.
“Ah~ I can finally see my dearest slav-, I mean little Ely once again.” Ai clasped her hand with a fascinated expression as she sensed Elysia became the one she recognized at that moment. The one she really wanted to see and observe was the terrifying Elysia. The latter would eradicate all their enemies in the cruellest way ever.
*Swoosh!* *Rumble!*
Elysia covered a distance of one kilometer in an instant. She dragged the Ruvoid God’s avatar away from the center of the battlefield.
*Crack* *Crack*
The Ruvoid God’s avatar’s barriers cracked despite the anti-magic effect there.
“You really are crazy, fake human. However, do you think your resistance is enough? You need to thank fate even if you only delay your demise. We will turn you into the strongest puppet ever. Be proud that you will be part of us, the ultimate lifeforms.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar smirked and released a shockwave to send Elysia away.
“You talk a lot of nonsense. You also linked our spirit damage, right? I can see you’re afraid of getting slaughtered. That’s why you put that curse on. If you die, then I will die too. However, the same is true for you.” Elysia responded with a cold gaze.
“Too bad. Even if I die, it’s only this avatar. However, you are the core of existence. The weight is different. In the worst situation, we must destroy this avatar and create another one.
That way, you will no longer be a nuisance. We already record your data and create a clone of you anytime. However, we must test your best capabilities to gather further data.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar grinned widely and wiped the blood from her lips.
“The fake is still the fake. Don’t expect more. No matter how many clones of me you create, I will hunt you down and eliminate you. Judgment day for you is coming soon. Now, let’s count all your sins.” Elysia summoned her divine weapon.
She needed to do more than eliminate this Ruvoid God’s avatar because that would kill her too. She could sense the last rune left in her spirit was the damage transfer and was connected to that avatar.
Elena was doing something to the last curse rune, but that would take time. Not to mention, her spirit was still seriously injured.
“You feel arrogant just because you managed to eliminate our rune seal, fake human.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar squinted her eyes.
“I call it confidence, the fake me.” Elysia responded curtly and gave an opening attack.
*Boom!*
An explosion and a violent crash broke out in the sky. The battle between Elysia and her clone shattered a mountain and split the ground in the distance.
Since Elysia’s clone was no longer on the battlefield, the situation was gradually getting under control as Rhea, Ai, and CHErub had already plunged into the battle. However, the number of enemies was still huge.
“%$!#@” Ai grumbled under her breath. She would overtake Elysia because she always fought side by side. Still, she had to deal with these damned accursed creatures at the insistence of an angry Goddess.
Hence, she only occasionally glanced at Elysia’s battle while eliminating the accursed creatures. Although, she mostly did nothing and just stood on Cherub’s back. Her pet would do everything as those monsters could be considered her pet’s food.
“Thankfully, you’re okay. You can still be saved. Just stay put until the real healer arrives. They’ll arrive in a few seconds.” Rhea gave first aid to Sylvia and Xentia. She was relieved that these girls were still alive, just severely injured.
“I did my job well. I saved Xentia, and I’m still alive in front of the fake Ely, I mean the Ruvoid God’s avatar… Really, when Ely gets angry, it’s terrifying…” Sylvia grimaced while watching the clash and the space distortion in the sky. She could sense Elysia was furious now.
“Goddess Ely is very strong. Her fake clone that Ruvoid God uses is even scary, so what if the real one gets angry? However, how did that Ruvoid God make the puppet of Goddess Ely?” Xentia muttered softly and weakly. She just lay helplessly, watching the battle in the distance.
“Goddess Ely and Goddess Lina can destroy the world in one move. They are one now, and that Ruvoid God avatar really angers them. Please wait here for a moment. I will take care of the entire battlefield. They irritate me.” Rhea put up a particular barrier around Sylvia and Xentia.
She had put them in a safe place. Then she immediately returned to the battlefield to help Fortuna, who was struggling with the Emperor-level accursed creature.
“You’re so battered, Sylvi.” Xentia glanced to the side.
“At least not as bad and as sad as you are, Xentia. Our battle to save the world is so tough. It’s not easy to be a hero.” Sylvia smiled faintly and looked at Xentia.
“Mm, it’s a tough task, but we can definitely do it since we have many powerful Goddesses on our side. However, the thing that Xentia really doesn’t accept is that Ruvoid God took the form of Goddess Ely to cause destruction. That evil being wants to give the impression to the world that Goddess Ely is a villain. That is unforgivable! Xentia is furious!” Xentia exclaimed in annoyance and frustration.
“Yeah, you’re right. I’m sure Ely will change a bit because of this situation, but I hope it only applies to her enemies. Let’s send our prayers to them.” Sylvia invited to pray, and Xentia agreed.
One regiment of fairies and dwarves was divided into several troops. They fought desperately to eradicate the accursed creatures to assist the divine group. Casualties were inevitable, but the number of their enemies still far outnumbered them.
Even so, everyone’s morale was still unbelievably high. They would protect their homeland and world from accursed creatures for the sake of the future. With the Goddesses, they could definitely do it. The hope pushed everyone forward without the slightest hesitation or fear. The brave heroes rose, and they were not afraid to die.
