Will of chaos



Pov irius: 

As soon as I left the forest and regained my senses, I saw dozens of people in a worse state than I was. 

Inside that damn forest, all my senses were confused, I had to guide myself based only on my instincts, which wasn't the best option, but it kept me alive. 

My armor withstood the attacks well, but my sword and shield were in poor condition, black stains corroding the metal they were made of. 

My body had suffered some bruises and cuts, and even though it took a while to heal it wasn't a problem for a Vampire of my level, even if they weren't normal injuries. 

I wasn't even able to tell the direction from which I had entered the forest, I was confused on how to deal with that situation, none of my skills seemed useful and I was never very useful when it comes to magic, so I was very happy when I felt the Aura of someone close surround me, then I felt myself being dragged to another place before leaving what I discovered to be a large purple flower. 

"That was worse than we heard..." (I) 

"Yeah, tell me about it…I lost my goddamn hand!" 

"No way to sense the surroundings?" (I) 

"I can live without 1 or 2 senses like any experienced Adventurer, but how can anyone move in there if none of the senses work and even the Aura isn't able to help!?" 

"I was lucky to be saved by that plant just like everyone else here, I can find ways to heal my hand or worst case replace it, but I can't come back from the dead, I'm not going to throw my life away in a battle where I don't have a chance not even to participate." 

"(So everyone was saved by Sakura?)" (I) 

While I was talking with a Dark Elf who was close by, I noticed a movement coming from the forest and so I paid attention until I saw that it was a large flower with closed petals, when it opened close to us two people appeared, both were with their armor in pieces, and they had many wounds, but none of them were fatal. 

"I hope my sisters do better than me..." (I) 

I couldn't help but feel ashamed of myself for having put up such a poor fight, at least that's what I was thinking when the giant flower appears Almas once, this time it throws someone towards me that I catch in my arms only to receive a elbowed in the nose. 

"Let me go if you still want to keep your arms." (Elsaris) 

As soon as I hear Elsaris' voice I see her on the ground, unfortunately, she didn't fall the way I expected, she spun in the air and landed on her feet, her state was pretty devastated, she had a hole in her stomach and another in her chest, one of her legs were also hanging down while covered in bite marks, there were several black marks on the wounds, but little by little these black marks were diminishing. 

Of all my sisters, she is the most insufferable, the way she sees other people, the way she talks, and especially the rude way she treats everyone except Samira, all of this is irrational to me and that's why we had a few fights more than than 2 or 3 times. 

"< Healing Light >" (I) 

I may not know many spells, but I do know a few, mostly healing and barrier spells that can be used in critical situations, that have come in handy many times in the past. 

"Damn, I didn't need help, everything was under control, I had just discovered how to use my senses and power, and now Samira is..." (Elsaris) 

"..." (I)

Pov Ragnar: 

I was walking around in my true form as it granted my body better defense as well as it seems to be more comfortable to fight in my original form. 

Inherent from others, I've been in areas like this when I loved it was still a Soul, for me the distortion in space was not a problem, what would really cause some inconvenience would be the presence that spread throughout this area. 

The worst thing was Aura's weight, something that was being particularly bad and going against me in my view, it took me a few seconds to notice the reason and that was only possible because of the things I learned with Mrs. Natasha. 

When I withdrew my Aura back into my body, the pressure increased a lot before decreasing to a tolerable level. 

But when I recovered from that pressure, almost crushing myself, I was already facing five enemies, in this place, the senses may not work, but like Alma, I spent thousands of years having my Aura as the only sense and I am used to being surrounded by the pressure of the Gods, by that I could perceive everything relatively easily. 

"Disgusting auras, corrupted with hatred? Obsession? Maybe just pride or greed?" (I) 

The five had humanoid bodies, but only one of them still retained the appearance of an Elf with black lines stretching across its entire body. 

The Auras of the five don't have the slightest bit of control, they are just exploding their Auras around roughly, but the way they move has good coordination, these two pieces of information don't make sense together. 

I could feel that one of the Auras was strange, clearly, it was the most corrupted Aura but somehow it was the most controlled, it doesn't feel like someone well trained would do that, it seems more instinctual like monsters do. 

The Elf in the middle has a strange glint in his eyes, a chilling longing, I noticed that the moment he took a step forward the others did the same, so I can confidently say that this is the leader among them. 

"Can you speak?" (I) 

"Of course, but don't play your games with me, your Aura can't hurt me..." 

"< Piercing Aura Ray >" (I) 

Seems like he realized I was distracting them to build up my Aura in the horn before using a skill that condenses my Aura before firing in a straight line, I wanted to use this attack on all five of them at once, finish them off in the first hit, but as they discovered me very quickly I had to use it at once even though it was just an attack that I lived on their leader. 

"< Spatial Corruption >" 

He reaches out and makes space ripple even more, this bends the trajectory of the attack, but less than he intended as space rips at one point and the head of one of the 5 enemies on the spikes has lost its head. 

I wouldn't give them a chance to do anything, but I had to first stop this skill from before, as long as he keeps using this last technique all my attacks will be useless. 

"< Territory >" (I) 

I use my Aura as a base to mark the boundaries, then I use Holy Power and Master's Authority to create a Territory small enough for both of us, they must think I did something, but the chance of not knowing what I did is still big. 

"< Field of Corrupt Shadow >" 

It looks like he noticed, but luckily he didn't use a Territory, honestly, I almost can't keep the Territory stable, I need to finish them off as soon as possible. 

The enemy leader extends his hand and the surrounding allergy becomes even more concentrated around us making various types of energy move away and making my Territory crack. 

That's how he came towards me while the Territory and the magic he used seems to have canceled both of them out, but this is largely due to the enemy's superior power in a field that suits them, meanwhile, our own power decreases in this place. 

"(The Evil God's presence seems to converge on their leader, I can't waste too much time on this battle, the more time passes, the greater my disadvantage.)" (I) 

I realized that they would never run out of power in this place, but I on the other hand was wasting my power just by resisting corruption in the presence of this Evil God. 

In a stamina battle, I will lose every time as I will always be the first to run out of power and depleted so I have to go all out from the start. 

"< Divine Beast Awakening >" (I) 

"< Total Corruption >" 

My body transforms when the Authority and Holy Power of the Master begin to merge with my body awakening the true power of a Divine Beast, to be the symbol of the power of the one it serves. 

Of course, the enemies didn't just stand by and wait, 3 attacked me while the one who lost his head was rotting on the ground as chains pulled his Soul to Hell. 

Their leader didn't attack me, but his expression changed for the first time to one of extreme rage, the murderous intent coming out of him just a part of what I feel from the Evil God's presence, it seems as if he rejects who I am. 

It was at this time that the enemy leader also activated some skill that made a whirlpool of pure darkness surround him, meanwhile, I had to fight through my transformation, which by the way was very painful. 

I didn't try to dodge the attacks, one of them bit my arm, the second had its throat crushed by the force of a humanoid arm that emerges from my body surprising it, and the third was removed by an Aura attack. 

I didn't waste that small window of time to slow down the enemies, the one biting my arm had to move away when I tried to use my wing to strike but didn't realize that there was an Aura attack from behind that split its body almost in half.
