After we got rid of the monsters, I was surprised by the power of the arrow that contained all the power of Freya, Vanessa, and mine.
I have to admit that it was an improvised experiment that worked very well, I didn’t expect such a level of destruction, Freya had a lot of problems controlling the arrow’s direction as she normally does, but as she had my blood, I helped her send this arrow to up just in time it hit that weird seal of Queen Melissa where the creature was.
The explosion in the clouds was beautiful, those colored lights taking over the sky and scattering the clouds, it was beautiful, very destructive, and slightly scary, but it was a beautiful sight for something improvised.
The wind caused by the force of the energy blast was so great that it made a chair fly towards me hitting my head, this momentary distraction prevented me from seeing the wall of a nearby building flying towards me right behind the chair.
When I realized I was already being crushed in a tree hundreds of meters from the city wall where I was before.
Sigh
I sigh just resigned to my bad luck, I was a little weak from having used up all my energy from the previous attack, but I still managed to use my wings to get back to the city walls where a Layla was writhing on the floor laughing while the others were clearly trying hard not to start laughing.
“Am I the only one who got hit by something like this?” (I)
“Hahahahaha… of course only you would be such an idiot to be…” (Layla)
Layla starts to mock me between her laughs, but Sakura makes a plant grow by trapping Layla while she gags her to keep her from talking nonsense.

Pov Margareth:
I didn’t expect Zenos to keep gathering more and more talented people, but accepting these people also means accepting the problems that come with it.
“Your brother is someone strange, my lady.” (I)
“But I must say that he knows how to identify a real enemy, many would have been deceived by what they see before them.” (I)
“I know you would be deceived too, but that’s what I’m with you for, I’m the one who says what you missed so you’re well informed before you start punching people.” (I) 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.
I was sitting high above the clouds like wings made of blood, thanks to a magical item my mistress gifted to me a long time ago.
I was holding the red crystal in my necklace to communicate with my lady, she cannot speak normally in her current state, but I can still feel her emotions, which is enough for me to understand her whom I have served for millennia.
“This is interesting, I didn’t think a Kimera Berserk would appear here on this continent, much less in the middle of the Black Empire capital of that continent.” (I)
The necklace light becomes stronger according to the strong emotions my lady feels, she can see and hear everything through me while she is wearing this necklace.
“I know, this Kimera is still incomplete or would already be above the Lower Catastrophe Grade.” (I)
I could see everything that was happening in the forest and in the city, it was a great sight the big fights happening in two different places, but neither side was for the easy way to defeat their enemies, I could see through their Auras that Kimera Berserk had something inside with a different Aura, the same Aura of the one fighting Celestina who joined Zenos.
“Yes, this is a Curse of Life and Death, if they could break the crystal inside the Kimera Berserk, it would be much easier to defeat the one who looks like the enemy leader in the forest.” (I)
I follow the fight that follows the worst possible path where the enemy leader’s body had to be completely annihilated to be defeated, but that was a mistake with that curse active.
Just as I feared, the curse left the body and returned to the soul along with all the power of the body, but this severely injured the Soul that was separated from the body.
With the Curse working the wrong way it ends up breaking making an explosion of cursed energy inside the Kimera Berserk, this should be enough to kill that monster, but it survives and starts to transform.
“This time might be a little difficult for your brother, ma’am.” (I)
Just when I thought things were going to get even worse, an arrow full of power hits that Seal throwing it into the clouds before exploding, which was very impressive for the current power level of these people.
As soon as the blast happens a few hundred meters below me, the red crystal around my neck glows creating a barrier that easily withstands this blast of energy.
I look in amazement at this explosion, I can clearly see the deformed body healing and destroying itself at high speed within the Light of the explosion, in a few seconds the monster’s entire body was annihilated but its core was still there.
“This Core absorbed much of the blast’s power, Kimera’s power, the power of the owner of the soul sealed within the monsters that died in the forest.” (I)
This core had the 3 natural energies, blood energy, elemental energy, holy energy, and cursed energy, all along with a large amount of vitality.
“It won’t regenerate.” (I)
I smile looking at this core that meets certain requirements for something I need, life energy starts to overflow into the core trying to rebuild your body from scratch.
“What do you think, my lady?” (I)
The crystal glows and blood starts to come out of the crystal, soon this blood covers the core that is almost the size of my body, in a few seconds the blood returns with a slight lighter shade to the crystal.
“With that, we have taken one more step, my lady.” (I)
“Now it’s not long to bring the lady back, just wait for a little longer, leave everything in this Margareth’s hands.” (I)

Pov Queen Melissa:
2 days later.
I was on the walls of the capital city looking out over the Forest, looking at the bloodstained ground and the line of devastation that my soldiers claim was made by that Celestina.
“This civil war was shorter than I anticipated, the death toll on the other hand was much higher.” (I)
“No one knew about the Kimeras, let alone such a large number.” (Lilian)
“More than 3700 soldiers died in that battle, all because Gregory against all odds made a full force attack much sooner than expected.” (I)
“Yes, but now he’s dead.” (Lilian)
Gregory was careless in the end, I expected him to try to take over the Black Empire slowly advancing slowly while dividing his forces to control all the terrain he conquered, that would be when I would start my attack, at least that was the plan that would be used before being caught off guard a few days ago.
“Yes, but the damage he did was too great.” (I)
I look at the destroyed Forest that should be repaired next week, plus the capital will need repairs after that big monster attack.
I also need to think about the nobles, many died because they joined the enemy or during battles, I need to appoint new nobles who understand my ideals going forward.
“By the look on your face, it looks like you still have a lot of work to do.” (Lilian)
Sigh
“Yes, but the most important thing is to eliminate the enemies that remain, such as those he used as a distraction elsewhere in the Empire or those still in the territories Gregory conquered.” (I)
“I would ask for your help as I will need someone with your abilities, but I know you will deny it.” (I)
My aunt comes out of the shadows and sits next to me, holding two bottles of what I hope are good drinks, she hands me one bottle and Kills the other.
“I have other responsibilities now, besides you have people of reasonable level to do this kind of work.” (Lilian)
“I know, but I would like to know who was that man who forced that deal on me?” (I)
“If it’s any consolation, he would help even without a deal.” (I)
“I know, I thought about it that very day and came up with this answer.” (I)
“But at that dangerous moment, I needed reassurance about his help, so the deal was inevitable.” (I)
“He’s a weirdo, but you’d like him.” (Lilian)
“I would like to punch him in the face.” (I)
“I advise you not to do that, there are some people who may not like this, one in particular who likes to mix fire and curses can be very dangerous for someone who hurts him.” (Lilian)
It seems like he has other people besides my aunt beside him, but I still wonder who he was and who else is with him.
I’ve heard the reports of the rescue in the city.
“I still think it would be a mistake to hand Nicolas into his hands.” (I)
“Nicolas may not be a bad person, but he was one of the big culprits or directly responsible for entire cities destroyed and an entire kingdom destroyed.” (I)
