Will Of Chaos

Pov Ivan:

I look at the creature that keeps attacking me, it uses its long arms to slash me with its claws, I dodge with minimal movement, but it doesn't seem to be attacking seriously like they did that day, years ago.

"Were you always so weak or did I become stronger?" (I)

He tries to pierce my body with his claws, but I manage to dodge his wild attacks with ease, dodging each attack with the minimum of movements was just the beginning, little by little his previously wild attacks created a more efficient way to attack.

"So that's the adaptability I've heard." (I)

His arms thicken as his attacks become stronger and faster, two eyes form on his previously blank face, eyes empty of any emotion.

I was dodging his attacks because I was trying to calm my emotions, even if I'm using all my hatred, I can't let that hatred consume me, disturbing my rationality during combat.

I dodge another blow before using my sword covered in black flames to slice the arm off, but in less than 2 seconds a new arm has grown in its place.

"Looks like that's not enough yet." (I)


I started to attack with my sword, and this time my black flames were with more Aura than before, with that my sword cuts were leaving cuts covered in flame erasing in less than 1 second.

Those black flames were made to burn vitality, so it wasn't working as I wished.

While dodging his attacks I continued attacking his body with my sword, but without the flames, my attacks became much weaker.

At least with my Aura reinforcing the sword in my hands, the cuts were no longer instantly healing.

"< Skeleton Army >" (I)

Suddenly many skeletons appeared at my call as the land around me died and turned black, the Skeletons rise and attack the Creature of the Abyss who ignores them still threatening me.

I could see one of his arms turn into a blade to try to attack me.

"Die!!" (I)

Two Creatures appeared, it was two of the Spirits I invoked, without saying anything they knelt in my direction before I passed.

The Creature of the Abyss may be injured, but it is without a doubt far from dying from those wounds alone.

"I still can't control this technique, but it doesn't matter." (I)

While my skeletons are distracting this Creature of the Abyss I look down at my hand, all I see are bones coated in green energy taking the outline of a hand.

"I find it so strange... so much hate that I feel like my own body is on fire, but in reality, this body is as cold as any or corpse... I don't have the blood to boil with this anger... I don't have the eyes to cry this sadness... I don't even have a heart to race with these emotions..." (I)

To someone watching from the outside, I might look calm, but my insides were on fire as I circulated my mana and Aura together through my bones.

"< Death Flame Berserk Knight >" (I)

I feel the flames igniting inside my bones as black flames cover my bones.
"< Infernal Incineration >" (I)

I point my sword forward making more black flames surround my sword before it is launched from the sword towards him.

Just as I thought, there's nothing left of him.

"If I can't find the weak point, I could have tried not to leave anything behind..." (I)

I look at the long line of destruction forming a path in front of me, then see more of these Abyss Creatures leap out of the forest and turn their eyes on me.

"Looks like my lucky day." (I)

"< Summoning: Undead Army >" (I)

I ran as hundreds of Death Knights surged behind me as they followed me.

"I will kill every one of you." (I)

The flames around me rise even higher.

As soon as I get to them I start incinerating each one of them even at the risk of being injured.

Pov Hela:

I was holding a magic crystal that I've been saving for months since Lyra gave it to me, things made especially for a Necromancer like me are hard to come by.

"It's almost full and I only have two left, what should I do?" (I)

"Hela, have you seen my arm?" (Lilith)

"You holding him with his tail behind his back." (I)

"How long have I had this on my back?" (Lilith)

"It's been awhile, you grabbed his arm the moment it was cut." (I)

I look at Lilith, in the last few she and I have killed a few hundred Creatures of the Abyss.

I always watch out for the death energy gathering around them and getting trapped in their Auras, but I couldn't pass up that luck, they are just what I needed.

Fortunately, I met Lilith a few minutes after arriving here, with her by my side it was much easier to collect all this death energy.

"There are more of them coming." (I)

"< Demonic Curse: Hunting Ground >" (Lilith)

Lilith raises her hand as her eyes turn completely red, then a big red dome forms trapping us all inside along with the Creatures of the Abyss, inside this dome Lilith's Aura becomes twice as strong crushing the Aura of enemies.

"< 13 Cursed Blades >" (I)

I raise my hand and 13 white swords made of bones and possessed by Ghosts form, I aim with my mind and the 13 swords start flying towards the Creatures of the Abyss tearing them to pieces, each sword of this one has two Auras, one of these Auras it is mine while the second Aura belongs to the Phantom himself possessing that sword.

After hours of combat, all the Creatures of the Abyss that we encounter already have many transformations, having to adapt dozens or maybe even hundreds of times during those hours.

But I learned to use my Aura a long time ago, thanks to that and some techniques like those of the 13 swords that have one of the focuses in the Aura, it's been much easier to fight these monsters, mainly because I don't need to look for their cores.

"Too bad the body and whatever's inside those things don't taste good." (Lilith)

"At least your Auras are delicious." (Lilith)

​ I see Lilith's Aura taking the form of a red Leech that devours the Aura of these monsters, this after I drained the death energy from their bodies.

While thinking about Lilith's Aura I noticed that the strength of her Aura is getting bigger and bigger, in addition, her Aura is acquiring other characteristics at the same time that it increases the effects of other characteristics.

For example, her Aura seems bizarre, the mere ability to sense Lilith's Aura now is strange.

Pov Irius:

"I hope you're wrong this time." (I)

"I'm not, it's pretty obvious actually." (Irina)

My sister was talking as we walked along after finishing off a new group of monsters.

My sister was saying her theory that one day we will have to fight these Creatures of the Abyss and it won't be because of training as it is now.

"Just think, use your head more than your body, this type of training can be anything but normal." (Irina)

"I bet sooner or later these things will pop up again and the Elf Queen wants to take this time to prepare her people." (Irina)

"..." (I)

I prefer to think she's wrong, that's because if she's telling the truth it would be awful.

During the time we spent fighting these things, I almost couldn't stand her Auras, there were many we saw disappearing with empty eyes and some even laughing in insanity.

I am fully aware that these monsters are not going to have a strength of that level, they must be stronger and just that thought makes me think how scary such a creature could be.

"< Corrupt Court > ×10" (I)

In the middle of my thoughts, I turn to something flying towards us, I knew from the bizarre Aura that it was a Creature of the Abyss, so I drew my sword and used the best skill to use against them.

Each slash of my sword was swift followed by the body flying towards us being torn to pieces as a shadow corrupts the body along with my Aura causing the entire body to crumble in a few seconds.

"Is their number decreasing?" (I)

"No, on the contrary, it seems to be increasing." (Irina)

In the last few minutes, we have been encountering more and more of these Creatures of the Abyss, fortunately, we have gotten used to facing these things and we already know which skills or techniques work against these Creatures of the Abyss.

"Let's find Father, I'm worried about him not being able to fight one of his sisters inside him." (I)

"You should worry about both of us, he'll be fine." (Irina)

She may be right, but unfortunately, we don't have time to continue talking about it, there's a streak of light in the sky, it was clear there was a fight nearby.

"Let's take a look." (I)
