Chapter 1214 Cap 1212: The stone that shakes the lake

Pov Hela's:

After everything calmed down, I kept my Infernal armor on to control the Starfire in my body yet had to create a bone mask to hide the upper part of my face as the flames were even in my eyes, the Seal of Pain being the only thing that still made me able to maintain control.

Lilith on the other hand was perfectly fine with just a hoodie hiding her entire body along with her face as her veins are twitching as if they were alive inside her body.

"Now that everything is resolved we can get back to the topic, did you say that the Death Core is inside that tower?" (I)

"Yes, but if you really want that I can't help, my people do not interfere in the affairs of those who do not belong to our race without Tarzor's desire." (Zaya)

"Alright, but as a guide, you're still going to point us to whatever path we want to go, right?" (Lilith)

"Yes, I can take you wherever you want to go, I can also explain anything within my area of knowledge and protect you to a certain extent as I just did by creating this barrier to hide your momentary weakness." (Zaya)

"What would have happened if you hadn't intervened?" (I)

"In the best case, you two would just be dead, in the worst, your bodies and Souls would be used in experiments probably by the owners of the Tower since they are the strongest force around while I would be killed by association if I tried to intervene." (Zaya)

"All this because of that?" (Lilith)

"That flame had traces of many things mixed together, I was very surprised by what happened and I didn't have time to investigate, but the little I noticed still seems doubtful to me, no one in this world would miss the chance to get that peculiar flame." (Zaya)

If I feel it, then she must have felt it too, the Master's Star Flame is burning up to Death Energy as well as other energies and even some parts of my body, no Necromancer or scholar of forbidden techniques would let something like this go unnoticed.

Her creating this barrier was something really useful, I have to give her that credit, maybe she can be more trustworthy than I thought, she can be useful in our true objective and I will try to see about that later.

"Very well, let's end this matter here, we have to think about how to get what we want from that tower." (I)

"That tower is clearly the worst place in this city, even from here I can feel the flames of revenge burning that place like the inside of a sun." (Lilith)

"The entire tower was built using living people, only at the end of its construction they were led to death with their Souls being used to refine the magic used to protect the tower." (Zaya)

"The 4 eyes up there are Demonic Cursed Weapons refined with Souls, they were the first things created inside that tower after its creation, they are thousands of eyes used in Alchemy to create each of those Eyes from what I heard." (Zaya)

"I can feel how powerful each eye is, they seem to be as strong as the most powerful of my attacks and this is a very simple estimation of their strength." (I)

"Don't look at me, I've never seen those things used and I have no idea of their power levels." (Zaya)

"I don't see anything of revenge in the eyes themselves, it seems that the tower and the eyes are two separate things." (Lilith)

"That might be good, but first I must know more about the tower, those within the tower, and the power structure within the city." (I)

"Alright, to start the city..." (Zaya)

"< Blood Eclipse Dragon Totem >" (I)

Space shatters when the Totem of the Great Primordial Dragon Zenos appears on the battlefield.

We were fighting against a battalion of Adventurers who are followers of the Church of Light by their ridiculous screams was the only thing I could distinguish as we fought against more than 500 powerful Adventurers, all of them are Humans, and some of them wear armor that has monster wings, some of them use magic to fly and others are riding tamed moments.

To fight against them who are not weak I had to summon the Eclipse Dragons using my heart along with half of my vitality as a price, the fight was still at a stalemate making me have to summon the Dragon Totem with my remaining power to strengthen the Dragons summoned.

My heart was taking a while to recover, but even so, I continued fighting against one of the Humans who used some type of technique to make his body grow like that of a giant along with his equipment, our fight was the biggest on the battlefield, ironically being a Moon from somewhere we were passing through before we were ambushed.

I didn't have time to watch Haku and Cinthia, but as Servants of our master, I only hope for victory from them.

"Damn freaks!!!! DIEAAAAAA!!!!!"

I ignore the screams of this warrior with eyes full of hate and I take advantage of his lack of emotional control to deceive him, I made him think I was going to face him, but as soon as his ice ax passed close to my head I used my jaws to trap his weapon before pulling, making him lose his balance for milliseconds, which I used for a blow using my tail that unfortunately only goes through his shoulder when he dodged the blow that should have hit his heart.

"< Earth Dragon's Fury >" (I)

I crushed his ice ax with my teeth while stomping on the ground with all my strength without causing damage, all the impact is absorbed by the magic that concentrates everything beneath the giant warrior when a Dragon just like me came out of the ground right below him crushing his knee while trying to rip off his leg before being destroyed by a punch.

It still bought me time when I flapped my wings in a forward thrust, using my claw to pierce through his armor and enter his chest where I crushed his heart in my hands.

He vomits blood as I pull him close, ripping his head off to bite where the head was drinking all the blood from his body in an attempt to heal the heart that I used as a sacrifice earlier and restore the vitality that I haven't completely recovered yet.

RRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!

But suddenly a flame made of stars covered my body making my scales break and I see Zenos' own Dragon Totem being covered by these flames, the pain was so great that I knew it was coming not just from my body

It was when suddenly the crystal containing the broken Moon appeared from our hidden vehicle, then the flames that were around me were sucked out as well as those that were in the Totem, not completely, but enough to reduce the pain in a state that I could bear.

I looked around at Cinthia and Haku who like me were also covered in these flames as they retreated from the combat, just like what happened to me, the flames were also being sucked from them towards the crystal sealing the Moon inside, this made 4 streams of flames Starfire connected myself, Cinthia, Haku and the Dragon Totem of Zenos to the crystal containing the broken Moon absorbing these flames that continued to surge from us.

"DON'T STOP, KILL THEM ALL!!!!" (I)

I used my Aura to transmit my scream as I advanced along with the Dragons indicated for combat, Cinthia was flying close to me with Haku right behind, the three of us knowing that it would be better to fight together and end this fight as quickly as possible before something even stranger happens.

Pov Hela's:

After hearing all the information I needed to know about the Tower of Necromancers in this city, about the biggest influences in this city, and about the 4 leaders of the Tower of 4 Eyes, it seems that each eye was supposed to represent one of the leaders.

"I didn't expect the 4 leaders to be Evil Gods, that complicates things." (Lilith)

"Evil Gods will have at most the strength of a Demigod, but in this world less than 10 exist, none of them are close to this city or should be nearby." (Zaya)

"But still their strength surpasses ours, I don't think master has the strength to face them, so we won't be able to either." (I)

"Are you suggesting we should give up?" (Lilith)

"No, I'm just saying that relying on just these 4, any frontal attack will be suicide, without knowing the extent of their forces serving these 4 Evil Gods." (I)

"So what should we do, my lady?" (Hellyos)

"We need to shake up this city, even if it seems calm, the people here are not ordinary, each of them is cruel in their own way, they are people who have not missed an opportunity that appears in front of them." (I)

"We must be the stone that will generate waves in this calm lake and wake up the monsters that hide at the bottom." (I)

"Do you have a plan yet?" (Lilith)

"Yes, something caught my attention in what we heard from Zaya, so for my plan to work we will need someone else, preferably a Demon who wants these Evil Gods dead." (I)

"To want a Demon... you want a contract just in case." (Lilith)

"We can't trust anyone in this world, words like honor, agreement, and feelings are mere jokes here, right Zaya?" (I)

"A little exaggerated, but it's not far from the truth, trusting someone here is already half a step closer to the grave." (Zaya)

"A Demon that follows the ancient customs will respect a contract where they will gain something they want simply by being selfish, their pride will not allow them to break the contract." (I)

"There are 2 of them here, they are..." (Zaya)
