Chapter 1341: Cap 1339: No time to rest
?"< Eclipse Magic: Wild Forest >" (I)
The dead forest around us absorbs the blood particles leaving my body, making them come to life once again, or in this case, between life and death.
Trees grow for 5 kilometers around me growing hundreds of meters high, their trunks are black and their leaves are white, a mist that distorts the senses, and space itself spreads on all sides as the trees share the same will to revive through sacrifice.
"(I know what you're planning, but the life of this forest as well as all the space around it is a Divine Territory, there is no true life for anything inside other than those who entered.)" (Goddess Mavis)
In my mind I suddenly heard the voice of the Goddess of Life, this brief moment of distraction almost cost me my head, the Lord of the Abyss didn't stop attacking me, he ran towards me while the trees were descending, his scythes cut the trees in growth on the way until it reaches me.
I didn't have time to dodge, so I used my claws to hold the blade of one of the scythes with my fingertips, letting myself be carried away by the force of the blow as I was thrown once again into a more favorable position.
This time its tail breathed thorns that looked like bones into mine, I managed to dodge it with some difficulty, but the voice of the Goddess of Life in my mind didn't stop.
"(I advise you to use your Divine Weapon indirectly, this way it will be more useful, I imagine you know what to do.)" (Goddess Mavis)
"Thank you Goddess of Life."?(I)
What she said was not something I expected, I created this magic weeks ago to help Sakura, and with this magic, it became easier for her to create more Incarnations of the Forest and create an area capable of becoming a habitat for them.
I only used this magic here due to the convenience of the situation, when the trees finish growing they will have the ability to regenerate and will have a collective mind that is initially simple, but that I can control, thereby gaining an environmental advantage in battle.
"Long-range attacks are ineffective, good to know."
Suddenly I saw the Abyss Lord's scorpion tails splitting to form 4 tails and the tip of all the tails changed forming blades as they became 3 times longer.
"(Is she adapting? Can she control the adaptation?)" (I)
I had many questions, but I didn't have time to look for those answers now, she was jumping towards me, and even though her body was large she still moved with surprising precision and fluidity.
"< Eclipse Magic: Eclipse Prison >" (I)
But before reaching where I am, she was attacked by 7 branches with spear-like tips, 4 branches going through her tails while the other 3 branches going through her body.
The branches could only destroy it for 2 seconds, but it was enough to make other branches, vines, and leaves form magical circles around it to activate a magic that I adapted from the fire element, the magic creates a sphere of flames that traps those inside burning your entire body.
The only thing different is that this prison of flames uses Starfire and Holy Power, becoming much superior in destructive power, unfortunately, Starfire does not really destroy, it only transforms and changes what it burns, in this case, it is transforming it into pure vital energy that is feeding the forest itself.
"Using my Divine Weapon indirectly… like this?"?(I)
I placed my hand on a tree, the hand containing the Moon shattered, and the fragments of the moon became islands full of life of their own, perhaps I can enlarge the inner area of ??these floating islands.
As soon as I concentrated, I was able to feel the flow of will in this forest, which was relatively easy as it was my creation, so I formed a connection between the will of this place and the broken Moon inside my hand.
The process was simpler than I thought and I could feel the Holy Power flow into the forest as a large shattered Moon appeared in an illusory sky for those within the forest who looked up.
"Damn, why are they coming after me."?(I)
"I just defeated one of them now, so where did these 2 come from and how are they managing to navigate through the fog to where I am?"?(I)
I could share meaning with the trees themselves in this place, 2 Abyss Lords were coming towards me along with hundreds of Abyss Creatures, they all have human forms or at least try to have human forms, the Abyss Creatures look more like monsters wearing a costume of human skin while only the 2 Abyss Lords look truly human coming towards me, the only strange thing is their armor which is clearly part of their bodies.
"< Vampiric Labyrinth >" (I)
All the trees in this place have my blood running through them instead of sap, which is why they can regenerate and be controlled so easily by me, bone also imbues them with Blood control.
The forest becomes a maze with the branches and vines forming a giant labyrinth, but even that didn't help, they kept coming straight towards me with ease.
"I expected that."(I)
The labyrinth was not only a way to confuse and direct them, it also restrains them in a way, soon thorny vines began to hit them while roots attacked from the ground.
There was nowhere to hide and thanks to that I managed to reduce their numbers until they reached me, ending up with only 5 of them counting the 2 Lords of the Abyss.
As soon as they arrived they started attacking nonstop, I dodged the first blows from the 2 Abyss Lords and cut one of the Abyss Creatures while my tail went through another that started to burn in Starfire.
Then I push upwards with my wings escaping the attack from the back, but I receive a kick to the side of my head being thrown to the ground where I roll back before stopping standing looking at the attacking enemies.
"< Space Rune >" (I)
"< Breath of Chaos >" (I)
Two Spiritual Runes of the space element form, one in front of me and the other positioned on top of the enemies, as soon as I launch my breath attack it hits the Rune, breaking it by opening a gap in the space through which it passes, emerging above them.
One of the Abyss Lords manages to avoid the attack while the Abyss Creature right behind was vaporized leaving only the second Abyss Lord still burning in Starfire running towards me.
"< Eclipse Dragon Claws >" (I)
I use my tail like a whip swatting the one who was far away before using my claws to tear apart his very injured body, his pieces burned much faster until only the usual black dust was left.
"< Sacred Impact >" (I)
I concentrate the Holy Power in my fist before turning around throwing a punch that collides with the Abyss Lord's strike, I continue punching, kicking, and slashing with my tail.
No matter what blow I use, he doesn't take a step back, he always delivers a blow of equal force.
This fight has been going on for a long time leaving a shadow in my mind, the adaptive capacity of these things is surreal, so I knew that if it continues like this I will end up losing.
Soon it started, and the strength of his blows little by little surpassed my blows, in addition, his body was growing and a new pair of arms grew on his body, so several blows were hitting me, and I was just accumulating injuries.
"(It can't go on like this.)" (I)
I control the forest by making hundreds of branches and vines attack the Lord of the Abyss, thanks to this I gained valuable time.
"< Sacred Spiritual Fire Rune >" (I)
I painted his body with Spiritual Runes using my blood, as soon as I activated the Starfire it burned his body from the inside out, seeing his body light up from the inside was interesting, and much quicker to defeat him.
But before I gave a final blow I had to throw myself to the side, dodging a tentacle that came from a certain direction, when I looked I saw what looked like an octopus with insect legs, it was another Lord of the Abyss, I could identify it by the presence it emits.
"I haven't even finished one and there's already another one to deal with!? Seriously!?"(I)
"I can't stop to rest for 5 minutes!?"(I)
"< Hill of Blood >" (I)
I used some of the blood from the surrounding trees to form a column of blood that increases the power of Starfire, completely destroying the Abyss Lord I was fighting, now all that was missing was the strange octopus.
But before I could attack, a giant Silver Wolf appears with its jaws open, tearing him apart with its sharp teeth.
When the Wolf returned to normal it was possible to see some persistent injuries and blood, but we didn't have time to speak, Diana and I turned to something covering the skies, there were millions of Abyss Creatures attacking.
"I really can't rest?"(I)
