Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 42: High Tension, Part 1
WHEN Lilithia came out of her mirror on the former highest peak of the Amerlesia Mountains, her eyes saw Nueva standing still on the mountain slope. He saw no where Edward was; there was only Nueva himself. But Lilithia didn't ask either, she didn't care. It was none of her business if Nueva gave a certain duty to the servant.
Lilithia took out Neira's corpse from the mirror, dropping it violently onto the flat surface of the mountain. It was only then that the emperor turned around. His eyes were not directly fixed on Neira's soulless body, but on Lilithia's left shoulder who had lost a hand. There was no sympathy on his face, just a slightly raised eyebrow.
“You lost one hand,” commented the emperor. “What is Neira too strong?” ask again.
Lilithia ignored the question and kicked Neira's body until it was thrown at Nueva's feet. “My part is done,” he said cold—mirmin teleportation manifested on his right. “If you don't need me anymore, I'll go straight back to Axellibra.”
“You no longer need to go there. I need you here. I don't know what will happen after the ritual begins. There is a possibility that I became so weak that I could do nothing.”
“It wasn't Edward's job? Where did you send him? You can call him here to take care of you.”
“Edward is resting. I can't reach him now. That's why I need you to take care of me until I'm done.”
Lilithia snorted, but her teleportation mirror instantly disappeared. “You have to pay me dearly after this,”. “Not only for my precious time, but also for my lost hand.”
“Tno worries.” Nueva took Neira's body and stepped right into the middle of the complex magic-circle formula at the center of the mountain's surface peak. “All your wishes will be fulfilled.”
Lilithia said nothing; there was no need for her to say anything. He stepped slowly towards the mountain.
Not finding the mound for her to sit on, Lilithia immediately threw herself down on the mountain slope. He did get the first treatment for his wound, but he still needed rest. Lilithia ignored Nueva's actions in the least.
...* * *...
Nueva puts Neira Claudian's body in the middle of the magic circle, the hands of which she makes stretch.
To summon Thevetat, wherever he hid, required a powerful and abnormal dragon as a sacrifice. That was the conclusion of Nueva and Edward after conducting a number of experiments. And besides Neira Claudian, no other creatures meet the requirements of— therefore they really need the dragon woman.
Then Nueva injured her own wrist and shed blood on her body.
As soon as he felt enough, his scar he froze. Then Nueva took a position near Neira's head. He kneeled on one leg, both palms above the two small magic circles.
A large amount of mana came out from Nueva's body, and instantly a part of the magic circle shimmered brightly.
“Come, fill in my call, Progenitor Dragon Thevetat!”
...—Unknown Place—...
Thevetat was just about to begin chanting again his curse on Edenia when suddenly his body was filled with various sparkling rune carvings. Spontaneously alone he gathered a large amount of energy in his mouth and turned around the body. If he is required to die, at least he must show how disgusted he will be its creator. Thevetat unleashed his super high concentrated Dragon Breath.
The energy that his mouth released was more than enough to obliterate a huge mountain, but Thevetat could not see if his attack was successful on Edenia or not. The progenitor of these dragons had first been swallowed by darkness before his attack had shot out perfectly.
...—Mountains Amerlesia—...
Nueva looked in amazement at what lay before her. Neira's body melted into a viscous dark liquid and floated slowly into the air and clumped into a spherical shape. The light suddenly radiated brightly at the center of that dark viscous liquid. Nueva could tell because the white light was gushing out. And then, whichever amount is too large for the Nueva measure radiates out of the sphere of viscous liquid.
Realizing her call was fulfilled, Nueva instantly activated all the remaining magic circles. He must not allow Thevetat until it manifests itself as a whole. If that happens, Nueva will be required to immobilize her first to begin the ritual. Therefore, Nueva immediately began the incorporation ritual before Thevetat manifested perfectly.
The dome of darkness began to emerge from the most peripheral magic circles, and the dome continued to shrink and swallow what it passed through slowly.
At the same time, the barrage of runes had sealed Nueva's body perfectly. As she worried, Nueva lost control of her body. And as soon as the barrage of runes connected his body to the as-yet-unintact Thevetat, the pain instantly engulfed the entire body of the emperor— to the point that he lost consciousness.
At the same time, the dome of darkness had perfectly sealed Nueva and Thevetat in a spherical shape. The ball of darkness then shrinks and shrinks until it finally stops completely when the diameter is exactly one meter. The enormous energy-filled ball was in a state of hovering one meter above the flat surface of the mountain.
...* * *...
When Lilithia finally turned her gaze to Nueva, it was not the emperor she found.
What greeted the first commander's sight was a black-colored ball of energy that floated a meter in the air. Although he had no sensory magic, he could sense the enormous mana turbulence from within the sphere. The mass of the energy ball was also so large that it made the surface of the mountain below it crack, even though the energy ball was in a floating state.
Successfully attracting her attention, Lilithia spontaneously sat herself down. However, before he could stand, Lilithia's eyes first saw a familiar figure in the distance. He was flying with flames on both feet. Lilithia ignored the black energy ball and spontaneously shot to the other side of the mountain slope. At that time, he was absolutely certain that it was Xavier.
Lilithia wondered, what was the purpose of Xavier coming here? Oh, did he find out that he was hurt against Neira, and therefore decided to come here?
“What are you doing here, Lilithia?”
Lilithia lost quickly in taking off the question; Xavier first threw the question in her face before the commander stopped flying.
And along with throwing the question out of Xavier's mouth, disappeared the pleasure that had emanated in him. Xavier didn't come to see him.
“What are you doing here?” xavier asked again, this time his position floated exactly two meters before Lilithia. “Not should you be in Axellibra?”
“It is I who should ask. What's your purpose here? Did you escape from Fie Axellibra?”
