Book 3. Chapter 31.
“The Awakening of Darkness.” Part 4
Aegir wasted no time and with his sword raised high attacked Eris' shield, shattering it into a thousand pieces.
Immediately, Kalysto extended her shadow and dozens of bck crystal stakes sprouted from the ground breaking one of Eris' legs, whose thunderous scream spread throughout the battlefield.
“You fucking bitch! You're going to pay for this as soon as I get my hands on you!” She screamed, her face disfigured with rage as she countered with her spear another attack from Aegir's sword, just before transforming into a pile of shadows and sliding across the ground and then resuming her form in front of Kalysto. “Fire dragon!” She attacked, not knowing that Kalysto was immune to that element and without realizing that the demon king had also turned into a cluster of shadows and had followed her, materializing right behind her. At the same time the silhouette of an elongated fire dragon was unched against the ex-saintess, without harming her.
“Lightning! Fireball!” But as the fairy champion unched her counter-attack, Eris sshed her legs with a single ssh as Aegir spoke.
“You will be the one who paid for the death of my brothers!” he sentenced with a vertical lunge. Unfortunately, the dark priestess was able to dodge the attack just before he split her in two, but lost her entire left arm in the process.
Eris transformed back into a whirlpool of shadows and turned away from both of them, fleeing despite the wounds.
Regeneration! Jhil! Regeneration! Jhil! Kalysto thought, as Aegir continued to chase after Eris, trying to kill her.
But his efforts were interrupted by the attack of the other dark priestess.
“My lord! Take their insignificant mortal lives as a sacrifice for your divine awakening!” Sentenced Morrigan, who finished casting the spell and a wave of dark energy burst from her body crashing into everyone inside the battlefield.
Tens of thousands of monsters and demons that were still fighting in the extensive battlefield died equally.
Their bodies were slowly turning to ashes without them being able to do anything to avoid their impending deaths.
Even the body of the young bck dragon turned to dust at the same time as its energy was channeled into Morrigan's hands and from there into the gigantic partially burned eye that still floated above the altar.
[You have gained 1900 points of HP!]
[You have gained 1500 HP points!]
[You've lost 1000 HP points!]
Immediately, Kalysto transformed back into shadows and regained her form right next to the demon king, whose hands began to disintegrate causing his sword to fall to the ground.
“Blessing!” said Kalysto, pointing to herself. “Dispel Ezhil!” she added and the golden light of her skill surrounded them both, protecting them from the dark saintess' attack while she intensified the use of her ether, just as Eris did, avoiding being victims of Morrigan's attack. “Jhil! Regeneration! Jhil! Regeneration!”
“Thank you,” muttered the only demon King left alive inside the battlefield as his hands regenerated again and relief invaded his face as he saw that Kalysto's legs had grown back.
Though now she was barefoot, so he conjured a pair of strong bck boots made from his dark mana, protecting her feet. As she finished healing them both a tentacle of darkness approached her with an enchanted pouch filled with mana crystals.
“Why are you giving this to me?”:whispered Kalysto.
“Because I need to know that even if I'm not around you have what you need to protect yourself. Besides you need them more than I do,” he murmured, concern shining in his ruby eyes.
Let's get this over with quickly. I need to get my brothers back. He muttered in her mind. ...And Kalysto, don't forget who you owe me four dates.
Before she could reproach him for worrying about something as absurd as that when she had been kidnapped inside her own mind for a month and now they were in the middle of a battle, Aegir had already unched another attack on Morrigan to then continue attacking Eris who still hadn't finished regenerating after her st attack.
“Master?” Tsuki muttered, wanting to go out to fight and help her master.
“Stay inside!” scolded Kalysto immediately, preventing him from going out as she feared he would get hurt during the battle. “Absorb!” whispered taking five of the crystals that Aegir had just given her.
[Does the user wish to absorb these mana crystals?]
[YES/NO]
Yes! she thought
[Congratutions, the user has acquired 25000 MP!]
[Congratutions, the user has acquired 17000 MP]!
[Congratutions! User has acquired 24000 MP!]
[Congratutions! User has acquired 22000 MP!]
[Congratutions! the user has acquired 18000 MP!]
Taking advantage of the fact that Eris was busy escaping from Aegir's continuous attacks, Kalysto observed the altar.
“Fireball! Perfect aim! Fire arrows! Penetration enchantment!” she muttered, using the first set of attacks to break through the shield protecting the altar. “Fire creation! Fire manipution!” she whispered, creating three gigantic snakes. “Penetration Enchantment!” She then unched them against the giant eye, knowing that at least one of them would be stopped by Morrigan, but as Dark Saintess did so, the champion of the fairies deflected the path of the other two, preventing her from blocking them, and then unched a third attack. “Bck fire manipution! Dark mana creation! Dark mana manipution!” with the first spell Kalysto raised the bck fmes a couple of meters and thus obstructing the vision of the dark saintess while with the st two attacks dozens of stakes of two and three meters high rose from the ground and pierced the eye at different angles, just as they did with Morrigan's body, but the white glow around her body blocked most of the attacks, although some of them managed to cause shallow wounds in her arms and legs.
“Noooooo! Grandfather!” shouted Morrigan. “Dispel Ezhil! Dispel Ezhil!” she hurried to conjure, however unlike her other skills, the level of that skill seemed to be much lower than Kalysto's. “Jhil! Jhil!” she went about conjuring with frenzied dedication, completely ignoring Eris's struggle while she erected new shields and devoted herself to healing the giant eye and extinguishing Kalysto's bck fire.
Meanwhile, the champion of the fairies did not wait and see if her attack had been successful, on the contrary, as soon as she finished unching her attacks, she joined the demon king against Eris, who seemed to be losing that battle despite the white glow that protected her body, but whose light was getting weaker and weaker.
Eris, after dodging Aegir's sword, reached out to touch him.
“Absorb!” Eris growled, annoyed at how hard it was for her to finish him off, not realizing that at the same time the words came out of her mouth, Kalysto materialized behind her and pced her hands on either side of the dark priestess' face.
“Absorb absorb! Absorb ether! Absorb HP!” Kalysto quickly conjured. Catching Eris completely off guard.
Memories of Eris' life fshed before her, focusing especially on all that she had done and the cities she had conquered since coming to Elinor, all the glory she dreamed of delivering to her lord when she awoke him in new world ready for him to take under his control, and all the resentment she felt the moment her entry into the demonic kingdom was overshadowed with Morrigan's appearance because Persephone's sudden disappearance had reached the ears of the other priestess thanks to the cursed hobgoblin Ereshkigal, a necromancer she should never have allowed to join her army, although she knew the necromancer was loyal to her lord, she had the suspicion that he was secretly informing them of all her advances.
Eris never imagined that he would also inform them of the situation with Persephone, or that Seth-Mainyu's avatar and chief priestess, Morrigan, would come in person to investigate what had happened.
[Congratutions, the user has acquired a new skill: Absorb. Level 55!]
[Warning! Because the user already possesses this same skill at a higher level, the newly absorbed skill will be transformed into css experience! The user will need to absorb more skills of this type in order to change the css of this skill from normal to heroic!]

[Congratutions, the user has acquired 50 ether points!]
[Congratutions! The user has acquired 50,000 HP!]
[Congratutions! The user has acquired 40,000 HP!]
“What the hell do you think you're doing?” Eris shouted as she tried to escape but dozens of tentacles of darkness, summoned by both Kalysto and the demon king kept her trapped, at the same time Aegir cut off both her arms.
“Absorb HP!” Kalysto conjured again while Aegir cut off Eris' legs. “Absorb HP!”
“No! You bastards! You'll pay for this! Darkness lightning! Cursed fire!” she conjured as a st resort and thousands of bck lightning bolts fell on both of them while a puff of bck fire came out of her mouth and hit Aegir's face, who had been too close to avoid the whole attack.
And even though Kalysto received the lightning attack in full, she gritted her teeth, enduring the pain so as not to lose the chance to finish her off before Morrigan intervened and saved her.
[The passive skill Pain Resistance has been activated].
[Congratutions! The user has acquired 80,000 HP!]
[Congratutions! The user has acquired 70,000 HP!]
[Congratutions! The user has acquired 60.000 HP!]

[Congratutions! The user has acquired 20.000 HP!]
[Congratutions! The user has acquired 10.000 HP!]
[Congratutions! The user has acquired 3,940 HP!]
As Eris' body finally began to turn to ashes and Kalysto could finally let out a sigh of relief, a gigantic sword with a white glow pierced her stomach from behind, and despite having the skill of pain resistance activated, she could feel it spreading throughout her body as she felt the air escaping from her lungs.
To then watch in horror as the bde of the sword protruding from her body rotated, from vertical to horizontal and immediately finish cutting the rest of her abdomen until the glowing bde came out of the side, tearing her flesh.
