Chapter 1206 Cap 1204: Talking Bird?



Pov Hela's:

I was flying on the back of a spectral bird made of death energy condensed enough to look very appetizing to my Familiar who couldn't stop drooling.

In addition to Hellyos, Lilith was also with me, our current mount was something prepared by the Death Saint to use as a means of transportation for space travel, other than that this thing won't help with anything else.

I look around at the worlds around us getting closer and closer from the front and then getting further and further behind, our speed was even greater than Nicole's special vehicle.

We had been traveling for almost 3 weeks, but we were finally arriving at our destination, I couldn't say it myself, but Lilith is smiling maniacally.

"What do you see?" (I)

"I've never felt anything like this before, I feel so much excitement and euphoria, I can't even control my murderous intent... how I wish I had someone in my hands right now to rip it apart, someone to vent this emotion out to." (Lilith)

"Get a grip Lilith, remember we're here for a reason." (I)

"Tell me what you see?" (I)

Lilith points forward, we had just entered a solar system with only 4 planets and a purple sun, Lilith was pointing to the planet very close to the macabre Sun, the way its flames move form temporary images of deformed beings suffering.

"That world, certainly that world, the Aura of revenge from the entire universe seems to flow into this solar system concentrating on that world, in my eyes the Aura of revenge coming out of that world swallows this entire solar system including the Sun." (Lilith)

"I can't even imagine the number of toys...I mean, horrendous criminals that I can get my hands on for fun...I mean, that I can get my hands on to deliver the punishment equivalent to revenge that carries." (Lilith)

"You're not fooling anyone, your smile is so wide now that it almost tears your mouth apart while your Demon tail is wagging like that of a tamed Wolf." (Hellyos)

"Don't destroy Lilith's rather obvious facade, she's just joking because she's in a good mood, she's not the type of person to hide what she wants to do no matter how brutal it is." (I)

"I don't see you complaining when I bring you bodies after I'm done with them." (Lilith)

"Because I always need pieces and their resentment towards you increases the strength of their bodies in my experiments, but I could at least try to bring a more intact body sometimes, it would save me the trouble of sewing their bodies together." (I)

"Have you ever tried to torture someone without causing harm to their body? It's not as easy as I make the art of torture seem." (Lilith)

"You could ask Miss Caitlyn for help, I'm sure her abilities to make others suffer in their dreams surpass anything you can do." (I)

"The powers to create and manipulate nightmares, the infinite possibilities of such power, do you really think I haven't tried to learn that? Unfortunately, I'm not capable of mental tricks because I'm mentally unbalanced, I know I am that and maybe a little more, but I really wish I had that kind of power..." (Lilith)

"Can you guys stop talking for at least a second now that we're so close to our destination!?"

"..." (I)

"..." (Lilith)

"Thank you for the silence..."

I was shocked just like Lilith when the black bird with green accents on its translucent wings, none of us heard anything from her voice or anything else like that during the entire trip.

"You know how to talk?" (Hellyos)

"..."

"I think I'm going crazy, I thought I heard this beautiful bird talking." (Lilith)

"I heard him talk too." (I)

"Are you going crazy too?" (Lilith)

"He really said it, but I don't think it's right to call him handsome... bastard!!!" (Hellyos)

Suddenly the bird spins around as an Aura holds me and Lilith in place as my Familiar was thrown in a direction hitting what must have been an invisible barrier that shattered into shards when Hellyos hit.

What revealed itself behind was a monster I know very well, something I saw in Farus' memories when his consciousness was pulled into the Divine Realm of the Evil God of Corpse.

"What is that!?" (Lilith)

"An awakened stage unlife swamp, that's too bad." (I)

"So he's Undead?" (Lilith)

"He is the confluence of an absurd amount of corrupted Death energy and dead bodies, he is the result of merging bodies from an Undead Legion numbering in the millions, a creature with no single mind guiding his actions, only instincts of killing and consuming move this thing."

"In its normal state, it just looks like a swamp of rotting flesh that can remain inert for centuries, contaminating the surroundings where it resides, allowing only Spectral beings to stay nearby since they have no meat to feed on."

"When it encounters creatures of flesh it becomes something similar and of the same strength as a Titan of Nature, but being made of pure rotten flesh, it has no core and its only weakness is sacred magic, any other form of damage needs to eliminate all the energy of death contaminated within it or completely destroying its body, other than that this thing never stops chasing its targets and never gets tired."

"..." (Lilith)

"Good thing, it looks like I'm not crazy, there's no way his voice is in my head, I didn't know anything about it until now..." (Lilith)

Before Lilith finished speaking the bird spun once more with the Aura pressing only on me to keep me in place while Lilith had also been thrown in the same direction that my Familiar now in its Skeleton Dragon form was flying back towards me direction.

Hellyos catches Lilith halfway without stopping if she runs towards me, the bird beneath my feet standing still without moving.

"How can you handle having two idiots around you?"

"They are not idiots, Lilith is very intelligent and her determination is on par with Master Zenos, her way of acting or speaking can be confusing to many, but she usually just likes to provoke people." (I)

"My Familiar on the other hand doesn't know how to lie, he also doesn't like you or more specifically everyone from the Demonic Church of Death, this includes the Goddess Kalistos due to her long time chained in Hell under the surveillance of the Death Taboo Hunters." (I)

As I spoke calmly, my power continued to circulate throughout my body as I made strands of blood come out from within my body, using it to build a magic circle in the air, my blood being the best type of material to do this after the Blood of my father that I prefer to keep stored in cases of pure urgency.

"Why bring us here? Isn't it going to help the fight or was your plan to bury us with this thing?" (I)

"No, my only duty is to guide you both there and back, I will not fight for you or rescue you."

"Alright, I can understand the limitations of those linked to the Goddess of Death." (I)

I take a deep breath, then pull out a magic crystal created using master Zenos' blood imbued with the death characteristic of his Aura, this will be the core of the magic circle, and throw it into the center of it while I wait for my Familiar to get a little closer.

As I wait the few seconds it takes to get to the point necessary to get within my range, I look at the creature, it looks like a Mud Elemental the height of 5 stacked mountains, with the only difference being that it is made of rotting flesh.

Its body continually remodels itself, creating tentacles, hands, and even giant tongues in an attempt to reach my Familiar, it seems that it is getting faster, thankfully we don't have to wait long.

"< Death Magic: Grave Collector >" (I)

The magic circle grows larger and larger until an image of my face with eyes closed appears, then the image's jaw opens sucking in endless streams of death energy from the creature that does not have the precise Aura control to resist the suction of your energy.

With that, the monster's focus shifts from my Familiar with Lilith on top to me, but it's already too late, even moving must be difficult for it now, which proved right with its speed being very slow.

I felt like I was close to losing control of the Magic, the amount of Death energy was much greater than I thought before, I couldn't bear it like this any longer, and that's when I felt the Aura of the Bird over my body when I heard its voice speaking once again.

"Don't kill him, the energy you removed will be enough to force him to hibernate for a long time."

"If you kill another one it will have to be created and you can imagine how many lives will be sacrificed for that."

"Okay, I was already at my limit..." (I)
