BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114: Path.
"Now disappear forever!" Sol drove the blade of the sythe through her stomach and released it, falling to his knees and extending his hand to the melting ground beneath her staggering feet.
"Shattered dimension; Collapse." He cast another forbidden magic beneath her, and her flailing body was swallowed whole by a portal full of violent dimensional shards and chaotic magic.
[She is gone!] Dr'ul exclaimed staring at Sol as he continued falling over before he vanished and reappeared within Ikaris's grasp where she caught him in a hug and began casting [divine heal] on him immediately.
"Sol!" Ikaris gently slapped him several times on his cheek, allowing him to come to with his eyes slowly focusing on her.
[What the devils, when did you learn such a horrible magic?" She asked. She was expecting him to just blow Sitri up or chop her into thousands of pieces, but he used a death seal on her and then tossed her body into an abyss. "If you had missed... If she had the sense to dodge that you would have...!"
She stopped when he weakly reached for her cheek and smiled at her. "I'm fine, it worked."
***
The Arkadians did not know what to make of this shocking development, the hero Ikaris who gallantly ran around calling Sol her master was an actual goddess confirmed to be from another world whom even the Queen of the gods, Dr'ul, revered and respected and seemed to actually fear, Sol; the initial imposter who was ridiculed and hated was the one who saved their home while the heroes were backseated to observers, they were on the moon and their world was on fire, the demon-god nearly wiped out all life, and it all happened within the span of a single night.
Amongst this confusion and the news being delivered by the Argomite Queen who was answering every question honestly, Eris ran over to Sol and Ikaris, and then everyone else followed.
"Sol Vestic, I am forever in your debt." Dr'ul took a knee next to him and Ikaris, humbling herself to a human body and lowering her head. "If I may, it would be a blessing if you will one day accept my challenge and fight me to the fullest of your abilities, so I too may say proudly that I have fought the strongest amongst us."
At her request everyone fell silent again. discover-MVLeMpYr-novels
Arla made a callback to the first day she met Sol, and how he had brazenly stared up at the heavens and mocked the goddess who now served her alliance to him on a gold platter.
"I haven't even recovered enough to walk yet, and you already want a fight?" Sol raised his brow at Dr'ul and she chuckled and raised her head.
"I am overjoyed saviour, you are free to deny or accept, it only matters that you respond-"
"Ha... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha~" Everyone heard laughter, a young girl, no older than the princess was cackling and staring at her hand.
"Who's that?" Dina went on guard as the girl continued to cackle causing everyone around her to grow uncomfortable when she started leaning her torso and looking at herself. "I get that a few people have lost their shit... But she seems off." Dina cast a barrier around the girl, causing her to stop laughing.
"Dina what are you doing?" Usami asked, but a moment later she too had summoned her spear when the girl cocked back her hand and shattered Dina's barrier with the ease of a casual punch.
"Fuck!" Han sprinted through the crowds and swung his sword at her, but the girl who seemed slow stepped through his attack and spun around his sword, backhanding him and then going into a crouch as crimson mana erupted from her body ripping her clothes apart and revealing her skin turning a darker reddish shade while horns started growing from the sides of her head and wings erupted from her back and her lips darkened with fangs growing from her mouth.
"No...!" Sol fought to stand but fell to his hand causing Ikaris to grab him and help him up. "How!?" He asked staring as the unassuming girl turned into a very naked Sitri laughing as she stared at him.
"I am reborn!" She screamed as the gods all began a rapid retreat while Usami and Han along with Bruce flanked her.
"Wait-!" Sol tried to warn them but before they could heed his warning Sitri grabbed Usami's spear and used her to comically slap Han into the ground driving her hand through his chest and smashing his heart against the ground under him before she zipped pass Usami and grabbed Bruce by his throat raising him in the air. "Ikaris-"
"-We should run." Ikaris's eyes were wide as she stared in horror at Sitri sucking the mana out of Bruce, withing just a moment the once bulky man was a husk, dried beyond recognition.
"Fuuuck!" Sol's mana erupted from deep within him and his hair turned white again, this caught Sitri's attention, and garnered her fear when he angled his hand sideways and a black sythe started forming.
"I cannot win here, of he and Ikaris join hands I will die for real with the small pool of mana this girls body has, besides that I am only a demon in body, my mana has not changed yet, if they figure this out it is over for me, I shouldn't have laughed out, I was too excited!" Sitri huffed and spun, taking off toward an empty space and extending her hand, but out of the blue an axe fell from the air and took her hand while also tripping her and sending her cascading while the people scurried away from her.
"Don't you dare run now!" Dina had her tears flowing after witnessing Han and Bruce's sudden death. "Don't you dare!" She summoned thousands of mana spears in an instant and dropped her hands with a scream turning the freshly re-created surface into a crater of explosions as the spears all erupted into white mana explosions.
[Judgement] Dina held nothing back as a giant bolt of blue lightning fell through the cosmos and struck the crater turning it into a pool of magma while she held her hands forward and started preparing [pulsar], but from that fiery pool a whip flew pass her and slid around everyone, catching Sol off-guard when it seemed to come after him and then suddenly turned and caught Ikaris's arm.
"Maste-" she was yanked through the scurrying masses with Sol so shocked he moved a whole second later.
"No!" Dina erected a weighted barrier around Ikaris as she was being dragged and released several anchors from it before throwing a [mana whip] around it and anchoring her feet to the ground using gravitational magic and started pulling, but the whip loosened for a second throwing everything off-balance before both her and Ikaris were yanked again.
Reaching a second later Sol took off a second time even faster than before with Arla right at his heels as they entered the pit which had a hole in the bottom of it.
Crossing through the hole they found a freshly-made cavern with a purple mana-gate made of demonic energy closing rapidly at the size of a ball, by the time Sol reached the gate it was gone in a burst of energy.
"No-no-no!" He swung his hand at the empty space but all that remained was residual mana, Ikaris was gone, Dina was gone. "Fuck!"
"Sol!" Arla arrived and swung at the portal residuary mana as well, but there was nothing.
"They're gone, I can't sense them anywhere," Sol looked at her as his eyes started tearing up. "What do I... Fuck! Gods-motherfucking-damnit not like this!" Sol punched the ground as he scoured his memory for anything; anything at all that was of help.
"Samu'el!" He called out, and without missing a beat the god of time appeared at his side with a worried expression. "Do something, you can be anywhere and any-when right?"
[I am sorry, Sol] Samu'el responded causing a look of horror to grace Sol's expression. [Their signatures are not of this world, I have no power over the time that resides within them-]
"What the fuck does that even mean -what good are you to me then!?" Sol snapped again and the god of time winced at his screeching tone, and that's when he saw a flicker of golden light before him; the system that had gone down after sustaining heavy damage trying to fix his mess was trying to communicate again, instead of the words he heard a voice, a soft female voice in his head and it said only one thing.
[For those who are lost, they must seek what is essentially another means to their destination, this unforeseen situation was priledicted as a likely outcome of the demon-god's demise in the unpredictable occurrence of a resurgence]
Sol knelt there with his eyes wide as he stared at his system window, everything was saying error again everything was glitching and broken, leaving just one option at the very bottom of his status.
[Special ability (Path) is now available; Path is a single-use divine countermeasure transcending space time and logic created using all of the system's power, it will take you where you desire to be the most, but afterwards you will lose its functionality for ten years, such is the length of its rebirth, mark the day the hour and the second of use and engrave it in your mind-]
*Ding
[You have chosen to use [path] are you sure?]
[Yes.]
[Where is it you desire to go, Sol Vestic?] The system asked, and he stood and extended his hand toward the residual magic before him.
[Take me to where this portal... No...] He looked around at everyone who was confused at what he was doing all of a sudden.
[Take me directly to Ikaris, right now.] Sol answered the system and was immediately enveloped in clear white magic and then whisked away with a bright flash and a hum.
"Sol!"
