Pov Queen Melissa:
This damn monster doesn’t seem to die, I’ve tried to kill him with almost all my most powerful spells or skills, but nothing seems to work, he somehow defends or heals in seconds.
I already know that he heals because of the many hearts in his body, the magic I used to create this big eye helped me to see for a while inside this Kimera and the energy flow inside her, that’s how I realized these hearts for a while. where a lot of energy and miasma passed.
I also saw some sort of crystal inside it, but it wasn’t doing anything, I figured it was the way they were controlling the monster, so I tried to avoid hitting it.
This monster is already being dangerous enough as it is now, if it loses control it can cause even more damage in this city and kill even more people.
My Mana won’t last forever, I’ve already spent more than half of my energy reserves, but this thing doesn’t die, I’ve even tried to pierce all hearts, but it moves inside the body changing its positions, I’ve already tried to destroy the whole body, but it will rule itself at the same speed I can destroy.
I still have means by which I could destroy his entire body, but that would destroy all of Cida along with it.
“Maybe I can… as I haven’t thought of that before.” (I)
I was so focused on killing this thing that I stopped considering options other than killing.
I can trap this monster by sealing it temporarily, it will take all the power I have left, but it will be worth it.
“Let’s get this over with.” (I)
“< Seal of Sin: Pride >” (I)
I use blood to build the same magic circle in ten layers, after that all my mana and demonic energy to activate this magic.
“May my pride chain forever.” (I)
The circle spins as the demonic energy takes a form of mine, but more savage and demonic, then it goes flying towards the monster, the monster’s claws and tentacles passing right through it which was made of pure energy.
When she arrives at the monster her arms and legs come apart as they become thick chains going around the monster to the other side, so the moment they meet a barrier is formed locking the monster from the inside.
The barrier starts to decrease in size as the monster struggles trying to get out, but the barrier decreases being tightened by the chains, the rest of my copy’s body turns metallic forming a lock.
“It’s over…” (I)
When I thought it was over I noticed something strange, the monster stopped moving for a few seconds while something glowed inside it, then an intense purple energy covers the monster’s body making its skin bubble as if it were liquid.
The monster’s body starts to shrink in size as if it is condensing, meanwhile, purple energy covers the entire body while the entire inside of the still shrinking seal turns dark with the large amount of miasma coming out of the monster.
“What’s going on…” (I)
“You should get away from that thing.”
I hear a voice coming from my side, but when I turn around there’s nothing, the only thing next to me is a 7-story building belonging to the Commerce Guild.
I know there’s no one around thanks to my Aura, I also know there’s no one inside this place, so I’m confused by the voice I just heard.
“My instincts are that disaster is going to happen, so get out of there as soon as possible.”
“Who are you?” (I)
“A friend of your aunt’s.”
In the end, I was able to identify the source of the voice, it was coming from my shadow on the wall next to me.
He said he was my aunt’s friend, considering I saw her yesterday and that Celestina who insisted on facing Gregory, it seems my aunt has been around strange people.
I obey the voice and walk away to the bell tower where I still have a clear view of the barrier that was starting to crack, the currents around the barrier are also shaking a lot, and the speed at which the barrier slows down is much slower now, soon they will stop decreasing.
“(I don’t know what will happen, but I’m out of mana and demonic energy reserves, my body is also on edge because of the hits I took.)” (I) 𝐞𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥．𝗰𝐨𝗺
I didn’t know what would come out of that seal when it was broken, but I knew the seal was nearly destroyed, I didn’t have much time, and I was far from in a position to fight the thing.
“Are you still there?” (I)
“Yea.”
“Would you be able to take care of this monster?” (I)
“Yea.”
“Going to help me?” (I)
“No.”
“…” (I)
“I’ve already helped enough, Gregory Roux is dead, the most vulnerable in the city have been evacuated and the rest of the population has mostly managed to get out.”
“The rest is your business.”
“(When did he do a city evacuation?)” (I)
I look around and I don’t really see anyone, my Aura doesn’t notice anyone either, it looks like he’s telling the truth, that means Gregory’s death is also true.
“I can’t let the city be devastated, besides I don’t know if the creature that comes out of the seal I created will make it to another city, I can’t do nothing.” (I)
“(His voice is male but looks young, he also looks smart for having evacuated the city without me noticing.)” (I)
“(My aunt says she has the Blood Temple now, so the chances of him being a Vampire are high, maybe a Priest.)” (I)
“(He seems calm, so he must be strong or has experience with situations like that, which only increases the possibility that he is strong.)” (I)
I start to think about the owner of this mysterious voice, I realized that I can’t end this battle, so he will be my only option to save this city and maybe even the other cities across the Empire that can be destroyed by whatever comes out of the seal I created.
“What do you want as a reward for helping now? Please help!” (I)
