Chapter 325

As I rushed toward the fire tower, I didn’t neglect creating a small mana subdimension for my three goddess, linking directly with the Primordial Aether to provide them with more mana than they could control.

It was needed, as once we dealt with the ambush, the undead responded with more force. I could count more than a hundred avatars surrounding them, and at least three gods that approached them.

And, that was their share. An even bigger force was moving toward the tower of fire, mixing with the other members of the Eternals. I was so lucky that the majority of the Eternals were actually escaping the battle, some feeling strong enough to be a serious threat.

With the System unreachable, their courage faltered significantly. I didn’t sympathize with them, as every single one of them had some kind of Divine Spark, and they could have easily fought against the tide. Instead, they relied on their disposable undead underlings while they chose to stay in their estates, which allowed the elementals to penetrate the city far more.

It was hard to pity them, when they let monsters kill people for hundreds of years just to speed up Divine Spark generation.

I slowed down to keep my approach concealed, as a considerable number of Eternal warriors and mages surrounded the place, ready to act. Luckily, behind me, the battlefield was getting more heated as the girls put their infinite mana to good use.

Mariel took the point, using her aggressive light attacks to vaporize the strong undead that could threaten them with precision, while Marianne’s unique spark was perfect for area effect, dealing with the weaker horde.

This left Seldanna free to grow a shocking number of treants that she sent forward wave after wave, countering the enemy’s number advantage while also entangling any Eternal that wanted to join the mess to support the undead.

Three of them made an excellent anti-undead army.

Sometimes, I loved my luck.

Unfortunately, even with my luck, pushing through the army that was trying to cut through the fire elementals that tried to defend the tower wasn’t easy. Though, as I moved forward, an Eternal flew back, bisected. I checked his trajectory, and at his start point, I found a familiar figure.

Aviada.

She changed during her long absence but also stayed the same. Her shiny black hair was longer and gathered to a braid, and she wore a full plate armor that was made the same style as Marianne’s, but otherwise, she was the same. At least, physically.

She still had her family sword, but it was glowing with some kind of mysterious inner fire, every swing enough to take down an Eternal.

We had clearly underestimated the potential of her sword. It had some kind of Divine Spark inherent to its metal. It was hard to define, but Sword Spark wasn’t a bad definition. Maybe Cutting Spark would be more accurate.

It didn’t just cut physical stuff. Every swing of her cut even magic, no matter how strong. Truly a fascinating weapon.

It even had its own domain. Fairly small, but robust enough to cut any other domain that was trying to push against hers.

To make her even more dangerous, she had her own spark empowering her. It was harder to detect, but it felt more like some kind of physical improvement, mostly Strength and Agility with a sprinkle of Speed, allowing her to move far faster even though she was merely a pseudo-goddess.

A devastating combination.

I wanted to talk with her, but unfortunately, that was not exactly possible. Instead, I moved slightly away from the battlefield, and summoned Oeyne’s avatar while communicating with her.

The tower itself was the most marvelous magic object I had ever seen. Too bad it was completely shattered as the elemental lord it was supposed to be containing raged. I climbed, only to see one of the most amazing, yet scariest sights I had ever seen.

Cornelia, naked as the day she was born, wrapped in flames. Her eyes were closed and she looked frozen, the flames actually invading her.

I prepared to interfere. Whatever that was going on, it was not good news.
