Lord of Myths: I Can Summon and Fuse Divine Powers.-Chapter 63: End of the Battle of the Hill. (3)

The sky thundered with force.

It was time for that battle to end.

The thermal spirits floated from the ground, pulsing with an intense scarlet light.

That landscape was without doubt memorable.

On a platform of solidified lava, monstrous chimeras fought, with physical characteristics and impossible organs, fighting against undead monsters made of a mass of cadaverous darkness and bone.

A memorable scene that would leave anyone who heard it impressed, a story worthy of being sung by bards and musicians.

Then, a dark stain of darkness began to crawl at an alarming speed.

A liquid and creeping darkness, which suddenly rose and acquired form.

Alioth saw how the shadows stretched forming an elongated and shadowy figure with a top hat.

The white-haired boy recognized him instantly, it was Baron Samedi.

But he wasn’t in his voodoo doll form, but in his true form.

"Damn bastards! What did they do to Aida?" Baron Samedi roared as his elongated hand stretched against the ground, creating a burst of darkness which sharpened, piercing through multiple chimeras as if they were lances of darkness.

Baron Samedi seemed choleric, angry, violent and aggressive.

However, when Alioth heard his words he couldn’t help but worry.

Had something happened to Aida?

Had they defeated her?

Alioth felt his stomach turn as he thought about what could have happened.

It was hard to have hope seeing Baron Samedi’s attitude, who looked enraged.

Tentacles of darkness came out of the ground lifting multiple chimeras and slamming them against the ground or sending them to Baron Samedi himself.

He grabbed them and tore them apart to then devour them, he looked similar to the Wendigo in that sense, both seemed like unleashed beasts.

Several darkness stakes came out of the ground impaling each chimera and killing it, to then absorb it.

The priest looked at that with annoyance.

"Tch damn it, really you are annoying, years creating an army to be able to assault the city and now it’s massacred instantly," the man complained while continuing to fight against Nora. "No, it doesn’t matter, with an Ashura it will be more than enough to finish Aurudil."

The man affirmed, as he landed a blow on Nora in the solar plexus sending her flying.

The girl’s armor cracked from the force of the blow, demonstrating the priest was still superior.

"Well no—"

The priest tried to speak, but was interrupted in a second.

A water drop had pierced through his skull.

"How?" he said with confusion, after all he had created a destructive frequency barrier against the water element, which should protect him from any aquatic attack.

Nana Baruke smiled with satisfaction.

"It took me time to understand how your defense worked, but when I understood it, I could pierce through it," the Lwa explained with pride.

Her ability to create miracles had managed to transcend that "barrier," leaving the priest vulnerable again to the rain.

"Tch, if you really think such weak attacks are going to do something to me you’re very wrong," the man growled to himself as he regenerated.

Then, another water drop fell on his arm, which suddenly exploded.

The water drop had expanded and burst like a bubble inside the priest’s body, creating that effect.

The man gritted his teeth with fury, as he created tissues to rejoin the arm.

"There’s nothing that can kill me! Don’t you understand?" the man roared, but his other arm exploded.

In an instant multiple water drops exploded in his body, tearing him apart.

But that wouldn’t be enough to kill him, though it wouldn’t be the only card played against him either.

"You talk a lot, old piece of shit," a voice growled in the priest’s own shadow.

Before he could react, multiple darkness appendages came out of the shadow, stretching to grab the man’s loose pieces of flesh.

Baron Samedi had already devoured almost completely all the chimeras, only he was left to trap.

"DAMN CHEATING BASTARDS!" the man roared with anger, now being a simple head separated from the body. "You won’t finish me!"

In an instant, a pink blur pierced through the air at an unthinkable speed with a hum.

A kind of large pink hummingbird caught the old man’s head in flight, accelerating at full speed from there.

"Ha! See you losers!" the man mocked.

Alioth opened his eyes with surprise, as he stretched his arm as if he wanted to catch the priest’s head to prevent him from fleeing.

"He’s escaping!" Alioth shouted, announcing the obvious.

"Shit," Baron Samedi cursed seeing the priest’s head move away from his reach.

But then, a golden light shone with force on the ground.

Everyone turned toward that light.

It was Nora.

The girl was with her knees flexed, but in an instant she jumped, shooting out at an immeasurable speed.

Nora pierced through the air like a trail of light, as if she had become a golden shooting star.

"Shit! Can’t you stop ruining my pla—"

But the priest couldn’t finish his sentence, Nora had already reached him.

She joined her hands together to then throw a hammer blow at the priest’s head and the pink chimera that was helping him escape.

An explosion occurred, the priest’s head accelerated toward the ground being crushed against the solidified magma, emitting a "splat" sound as it fell.

Nora had done it, she had prevented the priest from escaping from there.

Finally they had defeated him.

Upon fulfilling her mission, Nora’s armor began to disappear, and her strength began to weaken.

The girl began to fall under Alioth’s eyes.

"Nora!" he shouted, propelling himself to reach her, but his legs gave out and he fell to the ground.

While his ability didn’t seem to have an apparent cost, the stress his mind and body had undergone were enough to make him collapse.

Alioth felt his strength escaping, preventing him from moving.

"What are you doing, Alioth? You must be careful, you’ve subjected your body to a lot of strain," Nana Baruke warned him calmly, as the white-haired boy sighed.

It was true, his body was weak, he was limited due to his lack of orgone.

He couldn’t demand too much of himself.

Alioth sighed, as he saw how the sky cleared, showing the stars again.

The solidified magma emitted a comforting heat on his back.

He was tired, but at least he had won.

He had defeated the one who had ruined his life, a monster who experimented on children.

Finally, everything had ended.

Or at least, that’s what Alioth believed.
