Nial was not sure how Bella was able to attract the attention of a Spectran, but the Primordial eyed him vigilantly.
It didn't allow him to get too close to Bela anymore either.
"You really won't leave that bitch for me to kill?" Nial asked all of a sudden.
Bella frowned in response but she chose to keep quiet since she could feel that every word spoken to Nial would worsen her situation, if that was possible, to begin with.
"I need her, unfortunately," The Spectran responded, providing Nial the answer he didn't really want to hear.
Nonetheless, he charged toward the Spectran the moment it finished speaking. His acceleration and reaction both were extremely fast as he created thousands of darkness needles all around Bella and the Spectran.
They weren't right next to each other anymore, but there was now a small gap of a hundred meters between them. Nial tried to make use of that by shooting the darkness needles toward the Spectran, distracting him for a moment by forcing him to either counter the needles or teleport to a different spot.
His plan worked out decently enough as the Spectran teleported himself a hundred meters behind the original spot. Nial, who had been charging toward the Spectran changed his trajectory all of a sudden. He attacked Bella, now that the Spectran was a bit further away, while releasing a bubble of compressed dark miasma.
The dark miasma expanded rapidly, covering a range of more than two hundred meters in an instant. Meanwhile, Nial had gotten his hands on Bella. Bella Morningstar was still in her Divine Transformation. Thus, she was neither weak nor easily weakened by the high potency of the dark miasma. On the contrary, her holy aura filtered the dark miasma, turning it into something else while she attacked with the golden longsword that had materialized in her hand once again.
Her movements were rapid, but Nial perceived everything, allowing him to twist his body when the razor-sharp blade was about to behead him. He evaded the slash by a hair's breadth and was just about to pierce his claws deep inside her heart when everything around him seemed to change.
Nial noticed that the dark miasma was forcefully pushed aside while a golden portal began to manifest around Bella. The portal expanded rapidly and it pulled Bella inside with a sudden pull. This pull was everything it took for her to evade the attack.
The Spectran appeared next to Nial all of a sudden, but the young, blind Original didn't even think of paying the Spectran anymore attention. His rampaging dark energy made him focus on none other than Bella, and upon perceiving that she was about to escape his grasp once again, Nial went all out.
He unleashed the entire darkness that was stored inside him, including the accumulated dark energy within his Heart of Darkness all at once. The rest of his crimson moonlight and Essence of Darkness were unleashed all at once as well.
The heavens started to scream at the sudden power that was unleashed. Terror swept throughout the Spectran, who could only perceive that he was unable to move and that Nial had just entered the Spatial portal in which Bella had been pulled.
His mind was muddled due to the massive amount of darkness that weakened his senses and forcefully infiltrated him, making him feel things he never thought would be possible to feel on Jundra, not when there weren't any Ancient Gods with the capability to defeat Primordials in the future.
For the first time in eons, the Primordial felt the sensation of fear spreading through every cell of his body that reacted instinctively. His body and mind reacted subconsciously to the darkness that was about to corrode both his head and mind, thereby unleashing his Divinity.
The power unleashed by Nial was strong enough to shatter the weakened, golden domain that had swept through the surrounding, causing the Spectran to react reflexively to the dangers of an existence such as Nial Orin!
He accidentally unleashed the power of his Divinity, instinctively changing the destination of the golden portal, whose color was slowly changing to a dark black color.
The Spectran froze in his place once again when he saw the color of the Spatial portal that was supposed to heed his commands. Inserting his Divinity's power into the portal ought to increase his control over the portal, but the Spectran noticed quite early that his portal had been captured, that the destination had been changed, and that his Divine Power was still being deprived of the portal even though he didn't command it anymore.
Just as the Spectran was about to change his approach to the given predicament, the world around him turned white. His Divinity was forcefully deactivated and he was expelled from Jundra. Forcefully thrown back to where he originally came from, the Spectran ended up staring blankly at the open space in front of him.
Jundra had intervened when it detected the usage of a Divinity, expelling the Spectran, leaving him with no way to find out the whereabouts of the spatial portal that had been deprived of his control, yet was still being nourished through his Divinity.
"Something went awfully wrong," He mumbled, knowing that he could do nothing about it.
Nial and Bella were bound to land somewhere in the vast Universe, hopefully inside it, and it was only a matter of time before Nial would tear apart Bella Morningstar, the key to the place the Spectran had to enter to retrieve something that originally belonged to him, in the first place!
While the Spectran stared blankly at the space tens of thousands of galaxies away from Jundra, Sabrina, Mathias, and more than a dozen Devils stared blankly at the spatial portal whose color had now changed to a dark purple.
Kaeldur, Tyrant, and Ryu burst forward, shooting past Sabrina and Mathias with blinding speed. They charged into the dark purple portal or intended to charge inside, just for the sound of several bones breaking to resound through the area as the dark purple spatial portal repelled the three most loyal subordinates of the second-generation Lord of Darkness.
When they were repelled, the Devils issued thunderous roars and bellows that reverberated through the surrounding area for several minutes.
Sabrina looked at the unfolding scene, realization dawning upon her. She was just starting to realize that Nial had been taken away from her even before she could have a thorough discussion with him. They hadn't seen each other for nearly two decades, yet he was taken away even this time, snatching the chance of a sweet reunion with him.
"What are we going to do?!" She asked, sounding miserable while Mathais smiled at her with kind eyes, gently rubbing her back. "Nial will survive and we will meet him in the future. You know how tough your brother is more than anyone else, believe him!"
Sabrina looked at Mathias with teary eyes, but seeing the kindliness in his eyes, she couldn't help but force a smile on her lips. However, she then lifted her fist, ready to deliver a feisty blow straight to his face, only to halt in her tracks when all the Devils turned around to her.
They stared at her blankly which caused Sabrina to slowly move her hands.
"What is going on here?!
