Chapter 341 - 341. The real power

The last ones to enter the shield were still Illo and Kendra.

While Illo stared at her with big greedy eyes and had many desires erupting within him, Kendra on the other side just slowly floated down to the mid of the group and smiled.

''Start.''

There was nothing that God's said whenever Illo's Sect would compete. The illusions they were it with made their perception see a normal fight between two groups.

What actually happened is that as soon the words were said the heavy fight erupted.

While Grounding fairy Sect members calmly had a defence against the attacks Kendra just calmly stood there and gave orders. There was no fear, no rush, as well no reluctance. 

''Fireballs arriving. Fight with waterfalls and send them Ball of Molten Lava back.''

''Fire arrows on the left side, make ice net and destroy them.''

''Volcano eruption on the right side, prepare earth and metal then cool it down with water and ice.''

For now, she was just giving orders of defence while adding here and there few attacks spell. Everyone could see that cultivators from both groups were unwilling to give up so the fight continued for a long time until Kendra didn't get bored.

''Isaa, this is boring.''

''Boring?'' 

Everyone perked their ears as they saw her expression and heard her words.

''So big sister, you probably have some plans.''

''Hmmm...''

Kendra's lips quirked to the side and again a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.

Many people already knew this expression and just sent prayers for Sect of Eternal Fire. It seems she really will play with them.

''Mikaela and Lucas, go and send few fire ants to them.''

''Ants?'' Everyone looked at each other while not understanding what is going on.

What no one knew she helped these two to rise their power of illusion to the next level. For them, it was now easy to make people imagine things like this.

Whole army of ants suddenly appeared and rushed towards the cultivators. But when they tried to destroy the small creatures... nothing happened. Fireballs, lightning, some even tried to drown them in water tide, but those ants continued to attack them and to crawl all over their bodies.

Seeing people rolling on floor Illo's face became dark. ''It is forbidden to use illusion!''

Kendra shrugged. ''Well as long God's don't mind.''

He paled as he realized that she has seen through the plan and pressed his lips while his eyes suddenly became dark. ''I wanted to give you chance to stand by my side while I rule universe but your choice is to go against me over and over again. Now even if you beg me, I won't take you. Such an annoying woman cant be by my side.''

Her lips curved into despising smile and she chuckled. ''Huh, so I just missed a chance to annoy you for the rest of your life? Hmm, it's fine, I don't have to be by your side to make your life unbearable. Maybe its time I show you our real powers. You see we were just defending so far, it is time to see how strong are your people really.''

''Mikaela and Lucas stop the Illusion. Go back inside and relax. Now is time we show them what is Grounding Fairy Sect real power.'' Her voice boomed and glided smoothly over everyone's head making even the two God Guardians lose the illusion in front of their eyes.

Illo's face became almost grey as he realized that, but something terrifying started happening.

''Molten Iceball fire!''

''Stormy tornado circular!''

''Waterpower net!''

''Creepers feet!''

''Sand Volcano Eruption.''

''Molten Iron rain!''

And then her voice stopped. 

Molten Iceball was a scary thing when it hit between cultivators. It melted their bodies in the mere moment only a few bubbling heaps were left where it hit. Stormy Tornado started circulating in surroundings making every cultivator that was caught in it turn into a heap of tiny bits of meat and blood as it rained over the cultivators that couldn't even move as the waterpower net was holding them over above and from under the creepers held their feet so they couldn't even run away.

But last two just set the last drops. Sand Volcano erupted and hit their bodies with piping hot sand that burned trough their skin and bones, while Molten Iron rain was literally as it said. 

Iron drops started falling from the sky looking like drops of blood as it was heated to the pure red colour and ended up the rest of the cultivators that were still barely alive, ending their lives and only strange silence was left.

But on top of that only one person survived. Illo.

Kendra slowly walked towards him and whispered. ''Do not think I don't know your ideas, but I will stop you and the dark ones. Tell them they can't fight me. I am a Kaia. I am beginning and the end. If they need help surviving they should stop doing their evil deeds and ask for help. But if they don't, I will find them all and kill them. You are alive only because I want you to send this message. Now scam.''

She waved her hand and his body just flew out the stage and fell weakly to the floor as the sound of broken bones could be heard. His eyes shone in a completely dark light as he slowly stood up and reconnected his bones again under everyone's surprised eyes.

His black eyes looked at her and he just disappeared.

''What did I just see?''

''Does that mean he is connected to the dark ones? Are they back again?!''

Many cultivators and their headmasters lived for many centuries and knew about the darkness within and knew all the signs when someone gave his soul to the darkness.

''What are dark ones?''

Few of the younger generation looked at nearby School of Dark Art members. They could see their grave expressions. 

''They feed on souls. Literally. No matter what creature it is, they eat their souls. They feed on them. Long ago there was said that a worm escaped from the darkness as it was the main food for them. It had many children and it reproduced fast so it was usually held like cattle by them. But after the breach between universes, the worm escaped and now it seems those creatures found a way to come to this world and started using our people like their food. That fool is just an empty shell. He is no more the one from before.''

''How do you know?''

''The moment those creatures eat your soul your eyes become completely black and empty. Didn't you see his expression? He was still him when the fight started but when she hit him out the stage, his soul was already gone and was eaten Horrible. This is a worse ending than your soul being destroyed.''

More and more stories started appearing and no one even took care of announcement of Grounding Fairy Sect's win. 

Kendra smiled at the two God's and pointed at the three guilds. ''We aren't interested in those prices. Share among those three. Warrior Guild, Holy Lady Aera Sect and School of Dark Arts. We are gifting them the prices. Now we must leave. There are many things we must prepare.''

The two God's just stood there frozen until the group of flaming red-dressed group of people didn't completely disappear in front of their eyes. ''What dd just happen?''

''We must tell Elders about this.'' They disappeared while no one thought about asking about the third God.

''Sister, what about that person?'' Isaa stood on top of the castle and looked at slowly descending Sun.

''Things are, as it seems, more complicated than I assumed. We must cut the vacation on my parents. It seems those powers will move soon.'' Kendra rubbed the lotus flower on her hand softly. ''To save multiverse we must go travel trough every realm possible. So much time... We won't be seeing those two anytime soon.''

''Let's meet here every time we finish one of the realms.'' Isaa's eyes reddened. She knew it would be too much to ask her to go together as it would be more efficient to work separately. But if she could meet her from time to time.

Kendra slowly stroke her soft cheeks and smiled. ''We still can't send notice between realms. Let's do it this way. Let's enter this realm whenever we are done searching other realms and stay whole night day and night. If at this time one of us comes out... we will know. And we can spend one more day together at home. What do you say?''

Isaa happily smiled and as the last strands of light hit the two women that held their hands the shine that surrounded them gave new light and new hope to everyone who could see it.

Their connection was unusual and powerful. The uneven sisters that were at the same time a complete opposites that actually made sense only when they are together. The new light was created and flew slowly towards the dark sky and made the light of the moon brighter.

The new world will appear when they are done, but it will take time.

No matter, they have eternity.

The five creatures that were watching them disappeared after whispering those words...
