886 Fake vs Real (2)
The air pressure was excruciating, and the dimensions were slightly distorted due to the equally powerful call between two ultimate magic.
Elysia tried her best to drain the other party’s magic energy first. She could see her victory when her enemy’s magic reserve was depleted.
<| Lv. 44 | Ruvoid God’s Avatar | Chalice | Female (N/A) | HP: 768,800 / 786,800 | EP: 687,400 / 1,356,200 |>
<| STR: 15 | AGI: 29 | VIT: 12 | INT: 5,925 |>
‘Only half left…’ Elysia used her vision to peek at her enemy’s status screen again.
In the battle of the last few minutes, she only slightly injured her clone because she was only focused on destroying the opposite party’s barrier and magic. It would be suicide if she killed that avatar right away while the death curse was still in her spirit.
“What’s wrong? Is that all you’ve got? You can barely put up any resistance. Just holding on won’t get you anywhere. Or… are you scared to death by killing your clone?” The Ruvoid God’s avatar put her hand on her cheek.
“…” Elysia didn’t answer and launched a short-range attack.
*Bam!*
A tremendous shockwave exploded as the two divine barriers clashed. Elysia extended her hand to her opponent’s barrier.
She drained the constituent energy there, countering the extremely troublesome anti-magic effect.
“I see… You’re trying to drain me of energy, huh. However, you can also absorb energy to this extend. That’s really unexpected.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar could carry Elysia’s plans.
“This fight will be over when that happens.” Elysia retreated several tens of meters back as the sudden gravity push exploded from the barrier clash.
“Yep, the fight will be over, and neither of us will stop the victor. However, is the fight here to determine who will come out victorious? I’m only testing you to gather data, and I can end you whenever I feel like it.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar glanced up slightly as if considering something.
“I don’t think so. You’re not as all-knowing as you say.” Elysia replied with a flat, cold expression.
“Fufu, now I feel you are too valuable to be eliminated. As it turns out, I did need to kill you and turn you into our puppet. We’ll devour the world and ascend to infinity.
You will be a part of us. Aren’t you feeling happy?” The Ruvoid God’s avatar smiled faintly as she looked at Elysia like an object to get.
“Same thing as what he said. Your plan won’t work.” Elysia snorted sarcastically.
“The third also wants the same thing? He can see your real value, it seems. Unfortunately, he is no longer around. Hmm, this is difficult. You’ve eliminated the third. So, we need to give you a punishment.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar put his hand to his chin.
“Ah, how about it like this. We will corrupt you and make you our puppet. After that, you will kill all your precious friends and make them your puppets. That way, you can all stay together to serve us, keke~ You there is no need to thank our humility.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar came up with a brilliant idea and was excited to implement it.
“Such a thing won’t happen! I will eliminate you, Ruvoid God!” Elysia gasped in anger. She charged once more like a meteor and grabbed the other party’s barrier.
*Crack* *Crumble*
Elysia’s outburst broke the two barrier layers and cracked the third layer. It surprised the Ruvoid God’s avatar because it was akin to a suicide attack.
Elysia’s hands burned from the barrier clash. It was like two opposing celestial objects’ atmospheres collided, and the Ruvoid God’s avatar also suffered the same injuries.
“That won’t happen, hmm?” The Ruvoid God’s avatar smirked at the sight of an opening. She suppressed Elysia’s power with her anti-magic ability, then extended her hand towards Elysia’s head.
*Boom!*
Elysia’s suppressed magic caused a reflect effect and made the Ruvoid God’s avatar fall.
“Apparently, I need to attack now to weaken you a bit. I just need an attack with the direct hit, and you’ll be finished.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar shot towards Elysia like a rocket.
The fierce clashes between the two superior magic once again broke out. Elysia tried to deplete the other party’s magic reserve. Still, the latter attempted to weaken the former before launching a deadly attack with killing intent.
Every wound that Elysia inflicted on the Ruvoid God’s avatar also transferred to her. She looked for the right opportunity to counterattack with a practical move. Still, she needed to wait for Elena to weaken the death curse in her spirit first.
She had granted Elena permission to do anything to her spirit. However, there was a limit to what Elena could do without magic.
“Ely…” Elena felt pain when she saw Elysia’s situation outside, full of wounds and suffering. However, she couldn’t help because she was trying to weaken the death curse on Elysia’s spirit.
It might be a little easier if she could bring out Elysia’s spirit since she couldn’t use magic in the Elysian Realm. She only relied on her spiritual power with full access to Elysia’s spirit.
However, it was still tricky and took time because she was dealing with a divine curse. Elysia’s spirit was so fragile and full of wounds… She was cautious.
“Hmm, this is more difficult than I thought. Your magical power is the same as mine, but your magic reserve is like a bottomless abyss. You’re not even the slightest bit over exhaust yourself.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar took some distance from Elysia. She believed Elysia had used up a lot of magical energy but showed no signs of exhaustion?
“Then let’s do something to your dear friends first. They won’t be able to do anything, especially those two injured girls.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar stared at the two girls lying injured on a hill not far from the battlefield.
“Your opponent is me. Do you think you can escape from me?” Elysia squinted her eyes.
“Who knows? You are in our corrupted domain, and cannot leave at will. However, that does not apply to us. Let’s make this a game. We will turn your friends into puppets, and you will fight them. dare to kill them with your own hands, Elysia? Heehee~ This must be interesting and entertaining.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar turned into black particles and flew out of the corrupted domain.
She was confident that Elysia would be hindered by the domain’s boundary for some time. At that time, she would use the two girls as her puppets to corrupt Elysia.
“!?” Elysia pursed her lips because the Ruvoid God’s avatar could exit the domain’s boundary without a hitch. Still, she had learned enough about the domain’s laws and principles from Lifa and Rhea recently.
Elysia raised her two fingers and was entirely concentrated. She made the corrupted domain created by the clash between her ultimate magic and Ruvoid God’s avatar the ultimate magic collapse with a command. “Revoke!”
*Crumble!* *Swoosh*
The domain’s barrier collapsed, and Elysia immediately shot after the Ruvoiud God’s avatar at the speed of light.
*Bam!*
Elysia gripped the falling black particles. The Ruvoid God’s avatar didn’t expect her surprise attack and hadn’t had time to set up the barrier.
A chance for a direct hit arrived, and Elysia sealed the other party’s movement. At that very instant, she absorbed her opponent’s life energy.
The Ruvoid God’s avatar widened her eyes in shock as she was forced to materialize into a form. Yet, she was still the one who would laugh at the end. “You decided to eliminate this avatar? You will die in the process, then. But so be it. We will send another avatar to retrieve your body after this.”
“I told you, didn’t I? I won’t let you go. I’ll kill you at any cost. You are unable to run away from me after what you’ve done. No matter how many avatars you send to Vrelenia, I will hunt them down until your judgment day on the moon arrives. The previous incident was my defeat and carelessness, but I’m not afraid of you, Chalice.” Elysia choked her clone and absorbed the other party’s life energy at an insane speed.
She knew she would not die if she had wholly absorbed her clone’s life energy to dry. There would be no after-effects and repercussions that would affect her life energy.
“Heh, your eye abilities are quite scary, huh. Can you see everything with that pair of eyes or yours? Too bad… Looks like we just copied your mortal body’s data. We want to scan the real you some other time. But, this is just a greeting, and we will let you win this time.” The Ruvoid God’s avatar accepted her defeat as she could no longer use her power. Her body slowly dried up and was gnawed away like badly corroded wood.
*Swoosh*
A light breeze blew, brushing Elysia’s long black hair aside. The last bit of the existence of the Ruvoid God’s avatar had wholly disappeared. It was absorbed by Elysia without a trace of it remaining.
The curse soon assaulted Elysia’s body, but Elysia burned the curse and absorbed the pure energy. She had already leveled up a few times, but she overlooked that.
She stared at the entire battlefield. Over eighty percent of the monsters suddenly disappeared into black ashes when the Ruvoid God’s avatar vanished.
Only one Emperor-level accursed creature remained and a few minions. Ai, Cherub, and Fortuna then launched an all-out assault to eliminate the remaining monsters with the fairy and dwarf’s forces.
“It doesn’t matter if you can make hundreds of clones of me, we will hunt you down. You are one step ahead of us because you have already set up a trap before we return. Our preparations are not enough now, but our next meeting won’t be like this.” Elysia stared at the moon visible on the eastern horizon. She then rushed towards Sylvia and Xentia.
‘Ely! The death curse on your spirit suddenly disappeared!’ Elena exclaimed in shock.
‘Mm, the Ruvoid God’s avatar was caught off guard and I managed to eliminate her by absorbing her life energy. It was like killing myself, but I’m still alive!’ Elysia grasped her upper chest. She was currently suffering from a lot of pain, but she needed to help Sylvia and Xentia first.
*Poof*
Nell and Lifa suddenly appeared near Elysia via remote teleportation. Yet, they were instantly shocked to find the surrounding grim atmosphere. The situation on Fairy Continent was worse than they thought.
Hundreds of fairies and dwarves died on the battlefield. Sylvia and Xentia were seriously injured. However, the most surprising thing was Elysia’s critical condition. Something capable of hurting Elysia and Elena under Rhea’s protection!?
“Please save Sylvi and Xentia. They almost died…” Elysia put her hand on Lifa’s shoulder and then glanced at Nell.
“What exactly is going on here? We tried to use teleportation, but you were unreachable by the teleportation talisman. Your condition, Ely… Your spirit also…” Nell trembled as she checked Elysia’s overall condition. She used their spirit connection and found Elysia’s spirit was also injured.
“My self-recovery is good. My body will recover quickly.” Elysia smiled weakly. She felt her soul force her consciousness to sleep because her spirit damage had already exceeded the limit.
She remained conscious despite suffering great pain because she had to get rid of the threat and save everyone. However, the danger was gone now, and her soul could no longer tolerate any more than that.
“Shh, good girl. You did your best. We will protect you now and take care of everything. Sorry for our delay, and thank you for protecting everyone.” Lifa hugged Elysia and stroked Elysia’s head with a gentle smile.
“…” Elysia felt relieved and soon fell unconscious in Lifa’s warm embrace. Her damaged fallen angel battlesuit dematerialized and returned to her divine bracelet.
Almost no one noticed that a turquoise-haired Goddess was waiting far away in the eastern sky, behind the thick clouds towards the moon.
An energy fluctuation shot past her as if unaware of her presence, but she wouldn’t let it go.
