Chapter 1005 Cap 1003: Blessed With Death

Pov Ellyana (White Elf Queen):

After half a day I managed to finally close the rift while preventing the strongest Creatures of the Abyss from coming out, I had an easier time doing this than I imagined which worries me.

"How are things at training?" (I)

I approach the small tree and look at the crystal leaves revealing the various images as I walk over to stand beside Elly.

"It was as I imagined, many Elves and Visitors had the wrong mindset, all thinking of the Creatures of the Abyss as special monsters." (Elly)

"Fools, even giving so much information." (I)

I close my eyes and let the memories of Elly come to me, I see many White Elves being kicked out of training for not being able to handle the rapid regeneration and adaptation of the Creatures of the Abyss.

"A lot of discrepancy in the results, but we can say that the lack of experience in dealing with this type of creature was the biggest reason most of them lost." (I)

"Even those who didn't have problems with the Auras were unable to adopt more flexible strategies." (I)

"But there were also many who had weak mentalities, it was mainly those with most skills aimed at ranged attacks like archers, mages or support specialists." (Elly)

"For those, just the Aura was enough to finish them off, they had lost even before the combat." (Elly)

"It seems that those next to Freya are more flexible, their stealth and tracking skills are pretty good overall, too bad they're a bit useless against Creatures of the Abyss that can know where every living thing is." (I)

"They are good at dealing with the adaptability of Creatures of the Abyss, Zenos especially, he has too many skills which makes it impossible to fully adapt against him." (Elly)

I see Elly's memories of that Vampire's battles, his coordination with his Familiars is poor, and they fight more separately than they should wasting one of the greatest advantages of the Familiar connection, but otherwise he has a cunning mind.

His children are also good, but those brothers, their main element is light, the way they fight has many similarities with the Church of Light.

"Calm down your anger Ellyana, are they deserters from the Church of Light or should I say they were rescued?" (Elly)

I look at Elly who knows more about this than I do, I'm sure another World Tree has told her some things.

Soon she tells me the story of some people from Zenos' group who stood out to me.

The brothers' story made me put aside my anger towards them, at least I know that they also hate the Church of Light.

But the story of the Walking Dead, this was the story that took me by surprise.

I look at him roaring as the contour of his Spectral Body changes, I also recognize the presence that appeared for a few seconds beside him, this triggered his changes, his own Aura changed a little while becoming even stronger, now it has a trace of Authority.

"It looks like the Demon Goddess Kalistos recognized him as worthy." (I)

"A blessing from the Goddess Kalistos is rare, but this doesn't seem like a normal blessing." (Elly)

I look at him fighting, the way he draws the Creatures of the Abyss to him, the destruction of his sword to create a new one, and the way he was defeated in the end after hours of watching him fight.

"Something was wrong, he looked restricted." (I)

---------------

Pov Kalistos (Demon Goddess of Death):

I was entering Selene's Divine Kingdom, I walk through the air landing on her balcony where I wait for her to come, I don't like to enter her castle.

"I didn't expect Kalistos to come to me." (Selene)

She appears from the inside in a pure white dress, for her that would be strange, white has never been her favorite color.

"Remembering the past?" (I)

"Some of that." (Selene)

She snaps her fingers and blood appears on her body transforming her clothes into something worthy of an empress in red and black colors, but the black crown is no longer on her head.

"You still don't like wearing the crown?" (I)

"It doesn't belong to me, wearing it when needed is one thing, but I don't like wearing it all the time, it just doesn't feel right." (Selene)

"But you didn't come here to talk about me." (Selene)

"I came to warn you, Baldr is violating his Authority limits again, so I will also start acting more actively." (I)

"What did he do?" (Selene)

"He's trying to resurrect one of the 8 Holy Knights his daughter killed, the only one who died without having his soul broken." (I)

"I don't like how Almas are so severely injured or destroyed, I can understand that kind of combat, but your daughter clearly had other possibilities." (I)

"I knew Baldr wouldn't just let those Souls go to the netherworld." (Selene)

"But that's not all, what do you really want?" (Selene)

"I want your cooperation to save a world, it is not within my Authority to interfere there, but it is within yours." (I)

"I made a promise once and I intend to keep it." (I)

"Fine, but what are you going to do." (Selene)

"I found someone close to your son who I've been watching..." (I)

Pov Lyra:

These creatures are horrible, my poisons have a reduced, very reduced effect.

I was sitting looking at a Core in my hand, the only thing left after destroying these Creatures of the Abyss.

"They're not coming anymore, thanks for the help." (Jade)

"I just did my duty, how do you feel?" (I)

"A little dizzy, I didn't expect your attacks to be so effective against me." (Jade)

"Unfortunately I don't have anything that can be used against death energy." (I)

"But as we've seen so far it should be safe, a lot of people in a bad situation were saved by the green light, so just take the time to test your poisons." (I)

"My poisons aren't being as effective either, but I think I can improve them, I'm still learning how to mix my Aura with my poisons." (Jade)

"I think it's strange that we haven't found anyone stronger, is there more than one space like this?" (I)

"Probably, otherwise it wouldn't be training for everyone." (Jade)

Jade was never affected by the Aura of these Creatures of the Abyss, but I felt it clearly when I first encountered one of these things, it was the same feeling as when I was transferring my Soul from body years ago.
