While Alex was undergoing a test somewhere, the situation inside the old temple had changed drastically; together with Leon and others, Maria's group managed to kill most of Cecilia's supporters. The fight was about to come to an end, yet Lilith had the feeling that something was amiss; she had a bad feeling about something, she was not the only one; Artemia, Kuina, and Eri also felt the same.
Suddenly, their eyes zeroed on Cecilia, who stood at the back with her clothes drenched in sweat and blood as she had been forced to escape repeatedly by Maria's attacks. Still, even so, there was no sign of panic on her face as if everything was within her calculations, it was made the others wary of her, undoubtedly this woman possessed unknown means that could ensure the completion of her mission, she was dangerous, compared to the werewolves, she was the most dangerous of all, they must take care of her.
Just as the three were about to make moves, they noticed Luna was nowhere to be seen, and to their surprise, she appeared behind Cecilia, gasping for breath; none of those present knew how she did that.
Cecilia felt goosebumps rising all over her body as alarm bells rang in her heart. She understood that she was in danger, immediately she poured mana into her armor, the clothes she was wearing shone brightly, strengthening her defense. At the same time, she added another layer of defense, a wind armor above the original armor, even so the goosebumps she felt kept increasing.
''Instant Strengthening X3: Divine Punch!"
Crack!
Luna's punch was so powerful that it broke space showing the endless void on the other side.
BANG! Boom!
Her punch landed on Cecilia's back like a missile; she was flung into like a broken kite colliding against many werewolves who became injured in turn.
''Gah!''
Puff!
Cecilia's mouth fell open, and she vomited a mouthful of blood; she felt like her organs were being crushed; fortunately, she had deployed another second wind armor at the last minute; if not, she would have suffered more than this, her eyes turned cold before light exploded from her body blinding everyone sights, using this opportunity to escape to somewhere safer, consumed a healing potion before taking out the old parchment again, her trump card, she would use it and capture that bitch that almost killed her just now.
''No good, stop her!" Both Artemia and Lilith shouted simultaneously as they could feel immense danger coming from the old parchment.
Unfortunately, their warning was a step too late; by the time others could pounce on Cecilia, she had already crushed the old parchment; immediately, a powerful aura burst from the destroyed parchment and enveloped Cecilia's body.
BOOM!
The temple's rooftop got immediately erased because of the powerful aura coming from Cecilia's body; her eyes were tightly shut before she opened them; they shone with divine light.
The might of this light was so powerful that the nearby werewolves were incinerated instantly. At the same time, Leon, Gracier, Eris, Eris, Kuina, and Leonardo were slapped against the wall, fainting on the spot. Maria, Artemia, and Lilith were much better, but they were bleeding from their seven orifices, the current Cecilia; none of them could fight him.
Luna froze; her body was shivering; she felt like an invisible shackle was holding her in a place she couldn't move, not even lift a finger.
''She is borrowing the Holy Pope's power,'' Artemia shouted, and Lilith nodded before the two exchanged a look; they immediately understood each other intention. Just as one of them was about to unleash her past strength, they froze temporarily.
Puff!
Cecilia's hand pierced through Maria's chest; she lifted her body before tossing it to the side like garbage; the girls froze before lightning exploded from Artemia's body; unfortunately, Cecilia's face was calm as she slashed upward, the lightning was cleanly cut into two.
Swoosh! Bang! Bang!
Cecilia disappeared once more; both Artemia and Lilith flew before their bodies clashed against the wall breaking many pillars in the process; their bodies lay weakly on the ground. However, the two still didn't suffer without counterattacking, a spear made from energy, their combined energy pierced through Cecilia's stomach leaving a gaping hole there but unfortunately at the moment she possessed an insane regenerative ability, the wound was slowly closing, the current Cecilia didn't look like Cecilia any longer, it was as if someone else was controlling her body. She took a step forward and arrived before the frozen.
''Finally, we got you.'' This voice sounds like Cecilia's voice, yet at the same time not; it was like an old man's voice. Before Luna could say anything, something penetrated her chest; however, she felt nothing confused. Luna glared at Cecilia and uttered those words slowly for her to listen or the thing controlling her body.
''You will soon wish you wouldn't have done that.''
But the only response Luna got was a faint smirk.
Suddenly, space was ripped apart, and Alex walked from the void; his eyes were cold as he scanned the temple before his eyes stopped on Cecilia; silence hung between them before Alex smiled.
He vanished, and at the same time he heard a sound of fingers snapping, immediately a portal appeared behind Luna, Alex immediately aborted his initial plan, faster than anything he unleashed erase to cancel the portal as he knew where this portal lead to, unfortunately, Cecilia seemed to have anticipated this she disappeared and reappeared before Luna sacrificing one of her arms to stop erase, her left arm was completely gone. Still, Luna was pushed into the portal and started leaving.
Furious Alex unleashed golden hour, but to his surprise, with her remaining arm, Cecilia crushed and hourglass, somehow Alex's ability got canceled. He was surprised, but he knew he must do something or his girl would be taken.
However, just as he was about to unleash another of his ability, his domain, Cecilia beat him and activated his domain; the surrounding was turned pure white before she said.
''Judgement Sword!''
The thing controlling Cecilia was truly vicious; her remaining arm was ripped apart and transformed into a white light sword that appeared before Alex in an instant; she was sure that he would be injured because it was a move coming from a demigod existence even though it was borrowed strength.
BOOM!
There was an explosion, Cecilia was overjoyed, but soon her expression froze because Alex was perfectly fine; a shield made of a chain appeared before Alex; it was the black chain.
Cecilia frowned.
Alex's right hand moved.
A light movement that seemed he was shaking off some water from his hand but the movement of that hand, to precise the movement of that finger, was nothing but light.
The moment Alex's finger moved within the smoke.
Boooooooom!
A tremendous sound created by an explosion rang through the area.
A force that shouldn't be associated with the movement of one's finger.
Whoosh!
Cecilia's eyes widened because something flew through the smoke.
Toward Cecilia, the speed and force behind it were unlike anything she (he) had ever seen.
All the hairs on Cecilia's body rose.
Instinctively she created a light barrier to defend against this thing. It was a reinforced light shield created using demigod strength.
Logically it should have been able to defend against this thing, but for an unknown reason, she was feeling immense threat.
But Cecilia suppressed her instincts and mumbled something. Another shield appeared; she didn't feel ashamed, not even for a second.
'No, I must dodge!' She was still uncertain, so she decided to dodge it; unfortunately, she was a step too late.
Finally, she understood that it was not something she could block; it was the black chain.
Puff! Puff!
Before the tip of the black chain, the two reinforced shields were like paper; the chain easily penetrated through them and arrived before Cecilia's chest and pierced through her chest; she froze the moment the chain penetrated through her chest.
''What?"
All her strength was greedily getting devoured; even the strength she borrowed was getting devoured; the strangest thing was that she couldn't do anything, as if the black chain had locked her body in place.
A trail of blood appeared at the edge of her lips. A black blood, her body had turned pale, but she was still smiling, she looked at Alex with ridicule, she knew she would die, she would lose levels but once back in Mysthia she would recover everything and would rise in rank, she had won.
''You lost! Teleport!''
Cecilia mumbled before using the last bit of strength to send Luna outside of Exodus, where the others from the church would be waiting.
However, Alex's following words shocked Cecilia.
''It is that so?" His expression was frighteningly calm; it was not like Luna just vanished before his eyes; Cecilia was confused; she had no idea that at the same time the black chain pierced through her it traveled until it pierced Luna's chest, the latter body trembled before she revealed a smile, she understood what Alex wished to convey and had faith in him, it was no wonder Alex was so calm.
Maria and the others who assisted at this scene couldn't help but be shocked; they understood that after seeing he could not save her, he decided to use the situation to his advantage.
Suddenly, Cecilia's eyes widened in horror as Alex summoned the black gun and aimed at her; his eyes were still calm.
''The end.''
Bang!
A black bullet pierced through Cecilia's head; she died instantly, leaving the universe forever.
''Don't worry, others will follow you soon..'' Alex declared his voice was frighteningly calm.
