Chapter 351 Chapter 23
"Lilith! Aze!" Kalya screamed hysterically when she saw the two girls being swallowed up by the giant aura claws. n//0vELb1n
"A touching friendship. But you should worry about yourself more than them." Draco sneered and instantly closed his distance from Kalya.
"Is that so?" Kalya looked at him and suddenly smiled.
Draco felt something odd about her reaction and had a bad feeling. When he wanted to attack Kalya, he realized he couldn't move any closer to her.
"What happened!?" Draco frowned and looked around. He found a thin membrane in the shape of a triangular pyramid sealing him inside. Draco saw one point on the barrier from Kalya and the other from behind him.
"What!?" Draco was shocked when he discovered that the other two barrier points were from Lilith and Azalia. He didn't expect that the two girls were still alive after being hit by his attack.
"How come you two are still alive?" Draco said in disbelief.
"You don't need to know about it because you will die!" Azalia said coldly. She and Lilith were still alive because both teleported right after Draco's attack touched them.
Of course, Azalia and Lilith covered their entire bodies with barriers from their rings to lessen the impact of Draco's attacks. Even though they managed to dodge, they were still seriously injured. Fortunately, Azalia still has the healing potions from Ziel, and Kalya gives hers to Lilith.
Their plan was high-risk and very dangerous, but it paid off because they managed to lock up Draco. If the two of them hadn't teleported right after the attack had hit them, Lilith and Azalia would have died.
"Do you think a barrier like this can restrain me? Don't dream, you bitch!" Draco compressed the primordial power in his right hand and punched the nearby barrier membrane.
Booooooooooooommmmmmm!
The barrier shook slightly but wasn't scratched by the attack. Draco's face darkened when he saw that.
The three girls activated the barrier using all the power in their rings. Even though it is solid and can withstand attacks from a primeval god, it can't last long. But that was enough for them to unleash their finishing blow.
"Now it's time for us to kill you." Kalya said indifferently, and the other two girls stood beside her.
"Do you think you can kill me? I know that your barrier can't last long. Once I get out of here, I will kill you all, and not even that man can save you!" Draco looked at Kalya and the others viciously.
"Is that so? Then let's see who will die." Azalia sneered. The three girls released their power and compressed it until it became dense energy that vibrated the space.
"What's that?" Draco's expression darkened when he saw that. He felt a threat from the energy ball. Draco panicked and tried to destroy the barrier. He punched the thin membrane around him and smirked when he saw the tiny cracks on the surface.
Crack!
Draco was sure the barrier would break in his next attack, and the girls would die once he managed to break free. He swung his claws, and the barrier membrane that enclosed him shattered into small pieces.
Crash!
After the barrier was destroyed, Draco intended to attack Kalya and the others. But then his face stiffened as he saw the dense ball of energy created by the three girls appear in front of him.
"Bastard!!" Draco roared and swung his claws at their attacks.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Their energy balls enlarged and engulfed Draco. He tried to block the attack, but his efforts ended in vain as the girls used the dense compression of the Origin Power that remained within their bodies.
"You will pay dearly for what you have done to me! The other primeval gods will not let you go and will eliminate you along with this world!" Draco looked at the three girls with resentment.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" His screams echoed throughout the Clorius continent before his body and soul disappeared, completely swallowed up by the attack. Afterward, the dark clouds dissipated, and the sky brightened.
"We did it..." Azalia said in a weak voice.
"Yes, we have killed him." Kalya responded.
"We can kill a primeval god." Lilith added. The girls looked at each other and smiled. But their vision suddenly blurred, and they fell from the sky as they lost consciousness.
The girls had used all their strength until there wasn't even a bit left in their bodies. They were exhausted after a fierce battle against an ancient god. Ziel quickly moved and caught the three of them. If Kalya and the others fell in that state, they would be seriously injured.
Ziel laid the three girls down in the meadow some distance from their battle scene. He felt distressed when he saw their condition. Ziel stretched out his hand to them and opened his mouth.
[Majestic Heal]
Their bodies were enveloped in the gray light, and their conditions gradually improved. Ziel can't use the ability to reverse time on them because the remnants of the primordial power of Draco are attached to their body and nullify it.
Before long, the girls' external wounds healed, and their faces were no longer pale. Ziel sighed with relief and retracted his strength.
"Ugh!" Azalia was the first person to wake up out of the three girls.
"You're awake?" Ziel smiled at Azalia and said.
"Ziel? Where am I? Where is the primeval god? Where are Kalya and Lilith... argh!" Azalia tried to get up, but she felt pain all over her body.
"Please don't move too much. I have healed the wounds on your body, but you have not fully recovered. Have you forgotten that the three of you managed to kill that primeval god?" Ziel helped Azalia to sit up and caressed her beautiful hair.
"We managed to beat him? Yes, I remember we killed him! I can finally avenge my parents and the people of my race who have died in the divine realm!" Azalia said with a trembling voice, and she suddenly hugged Ziel. After that, she burst into tears.
"Congratulations, you have succeeded in getting revenge for them. Your parents and the people of your race must feel proud that you could defeat that primordial god. But they will be more peaceful there if you live happily without thinking about revenge. From now on, you must live your life for yourself and forget about your past.
You no longer need to remember that sad incident and focus on living your future. I'm here for you and promise to make you happy. Not only me but also Kalya and the others. We will make a happy family together." Ziel whispered and rubbed her head gently.
"Thank you, Ziel. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get my revenge. I will try to be a good wife for you! I want to be with you forever! I also want us to make a happy family! I love you, Ziel! I love the others too!
Now we are my Family, and I will protect them with all my might! I will not allow what happened to my parents and my race in the divine realm to happen to us." Azalia cried even harder, and she hugged Ziel tighter.
"I will also try my best to make you two happy. Because in this world, all of you are the most important people to me." Ziel suddenly turned his eyes to Kalya and Lilith.
"You know we're awake?" Kalya said and opened her eyes slowly.
"I'm sure Ziel knew from the start." Lilith added.
The two girls sat up from their lying position. They had woken up not long after Azalia opened her eyes. But they pretended to be unconscious when they heard Azalia's words to Ziel and gave the two of them some time.
"You two..." Azalia released her hug from Ziel and quickly wiped the tears from her eyes.
"You don't have to act tough in front of us." Lilith approached Azalia and held her hand.
"Yes, didn't you say that we are family? So it's fine if you show your weakness to us. We will always be together and build a happy and harmonious family. We will fill each other's weaknesses and care for our family members." Kalya held her other hand.
"Kalya... Lilith..." The words of the two girls moved Azalia. Tears flowed from her eyes again, and she could no longer suppress her feelings after hearing that from them.
Azalia only had Ziel and the girls on the Clorius continent because everyone she knew had left for another world. But she has no regrets about staying with them because she has a new family and can avenge the primeval gods with their help.
She had beaten Draco for her parents and people of her race. Although she didn't eliminate all the primeval gods, Azalia killed the person responsible for destroying her family in the divine realm. She thought it was enough for her.
Azalia wants to turn over a new leaf and live happily with Ziel and the others. She will forget the dark memories from her past and create a beautiful new future with them.
"Stop crying like a little girl. Where has the tough, cold, and indifferent Azalia gone?" Kalya smiled and teased Azalia. She was the only girl in the cottage who dared to do that to her.
"What are you saying? I'm not crying! My eyes hurt slightly from the grit and dust after the battle with the primeval god." Azalia quickly wiped the tears off her face, pretended to be indifferent in front of them, and tried to maintain her image.
But whatever she said, Kalya and Lilith could only chuckle in response. Azalia had lived far longer than them. But now she looked like a cute young girl, much different from the image she usually showed before them.
Kalya and Lilith continued teasing Azalia, making her face red with embarrassment. But Ziel could notice that the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she was becoming more open to others. Ziel was happy when he saw their closeness.
"Okay. Stop teasing Aze. It would be best to focus on recovering yourselves so that Helena and the others in the cottage won't worry when they see your state. We'll be back when your condition improves." Tenku reminded the three girls. He did not want to linger in that place and wanted to return to the cottage.
"Yes, we understand." Kalya and the other two girls nodded obediently at Ziel's words. Then they closed their eyes and focused on healing the wounds on their bodies.
While Azalia and the others were focused on healing, Ziel created a barrier to protect them and left the place. He intended to inspect the area and confirm that no other primeval gods had come to the Clorius continent.
If Tenku found another primeval god in that world, he would have to deal with it and try not to involve the three girls. They could win against Draco by pure luck.
Their opponent had not used his full strength and had underestimated them. Because of that, Azalia and the others were able to kill him. But the outcome would have been different if Draco had attacked them with everything he had. The Clorius Continent might have been blown to pieces with them. Of course, Ziel wouldn't let that happen. He would step in when he found out the situation had gotten dangerous.
Ziel toured the area several times and confirmed that there were no more primordial power fluctuations that he could feel and no spatial cracks in that place. In other words, the primeval gods that came to the Clorius continent were only one, and they had already defeated them.
"After returning to the cottage, I will train them again but more intensely. I have to increase their strength in no time. The other primeval gods would immediately notice that one of them had died. Sooner or later, they would come here after tracing his trail." Ziel said with a solemn face and flew to where the girls were recuperating.
After Ziel arrived at the place, he saw that Kalya and the others had finished healing themselves, and their conditions had improved. Even though it wasn't fully recovered, it was enough to show Helena and the others at the cottage that they were fine.
"Alright. Let us go home." Ziel smiled at the three girls. Azalia, Lilith, and Kalya nodded in response to his words. The girls hugged Ziel together, and they disappeared from that place.
