Chapter 240: Into The Abyss We Go

Back in the Mortal Realm, moments before a strange hum rang out all over the world.

Kara was adjusting to life in the world she left behind. She stood in the Fortress Garden and started up at the empty sky with only a Red Moon in sight. Ira's city was an odd place full of people who upheld strange practices. She found it to be a fitting place for Ira to call home.

Just how far will you go? She asked.

Suddenly, she had the urge to turn around and when she did, there was a black-haired girl standing behind her.

Oh...Liliara, right? She looked at one of Iras youngest daughters who simply stood there with a slightly interested expression.

The time Ira promised to return was soon approaching and yet there was no sign of the world being changed. It caused worry but no one gave in to the idea that he may have died or failed.

Liliara and Nephele had grown immensely in the time of a year and it wouldnt be too odd to see them walking around the Fortress.

Liliaras dark red eyes seemed to stir as she looked at Kara without reservation.

...Where is your mother? Kara asked, feeling slightly put off by the child.

Kara learned that all of Iras children had certain quirks but Liliara was the strangest so far. She seemed to view most people as lesser forms of life, barely worth her acknowledgment. It was strange to say, but thats what her gaze usually conveyed to those who met her eyes. Her cold demeanor became especially apparent when considering her sister, Nephele, was very extremely cheerful.

Liliara didnt answer Karas question, in fact, she seemed to have grown bored of the latter. She turned on heels and walked away, disappearing into the corridors of the Fortress.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Theres something regal about you. Kara gave a dry laugh before looking toward the Red Moon.

And thats when the air began to hum. It was barely noticeable at first, but pitch rose and there was no mistaking it.

...Ira. Kara narrowed her eyes, feeling an ominous premonition.

The Tainted Lands of the Divine Realm remained still. Lying deep within were two individuals, Ira, and Xandes who was quickly withering away but his death seemed to be forcefully prolonged.

Youre not going to die that fast. Ira weakly climbed to his feet and stumbled over to Xandes.

You still didnt answer my first question. Ira shook his head.

You defy the laws of reality and existence itself, therefore I will eliminate you. You should have already understood this.

I did, but it feels great to hear you say it, Ira replied. You should also understand that I dont plan on sacrificing myself for your goals.

...Then I will have to destroy whats important to you until you realize the truth. The Entity raised its hand as it finished speaking and Kara in its grasp. She was frozen in time so she wouldnt have even noticed what was going on. If she was killed, she wouldnt have even realized what caused her death. I will start with her and move on to all of those who bear relation to you. Give up your life and I will spare them.

I dont believe that you would stop with just me. Ira shook his head. And besides...Where would be the fun in giving up when Ive came so far?

Consider carefully as this is your last opportunity, child. I will destroy this woman so that there is no chance of resurrection. Even your power cannot bring her back when I'm finished.

"Well, thats too bad, isnt Kara?" Ira asked, raising his hand in a foreboding manner.

The Entity watched on but suddenly felt that Karas divinity was drastically different than it shouldve been. What have you done to her-

Just as the Entity began to realize it wasnt really Kara it held but a lifeless puppet, Ira snapped his finger and the black palm print on the puppets shoulder exploded. A wall of black fire covered the arm of the entity and the entire realm roared in response.

YOU! A deafening shout filled the air and produced a shock uprooted everything as far as the eye could see. Even the voice of the Entity had an immensely destructive capability that would kill Gods without any effort.

I offer you mercy and this is how you respond?! The Entity began glowing even brighter than a star as the black flame greedily consumed its hand. I will end your ungrateful and meaningless life, child! Even if this realm is left half destroyed, it will be worth it!

It flew into the sky and the very foundation of the Divine Realm began to split open. A rupture the size of a continent began to spread around the Tainted Land.

Ira ignored the apocalyptic level of destruction being created and began to absorb the Voids influence inside of the Tainted Land. Waves of black fire and mist were funneled into his body causing his body to change.

I wont die. Not now...Not here. Iras voice began to get lost as he brought out more of the Voids influence.

As the Voids power was condensed, his form became one of solidified darkness, drawing a stark contrast to the radiant entity floating above.

He cleared his mind of everything and only focused on destroying the ageless being that boasted of nearly infinite power.

Not here, Ira repeated to himself.

He stepped out of the Tainted Lands with black fire trailing behind him and looked toward the Entity.
