Chapter 848 Light Within Darkness
“Holy Light, Purify.” Elysia muttered softly and clasped her hands in prayer. She emitted the sacred golden light that was extraordinarily bright and corrupted the element of darkness.
Rhea covered her eyes because she felt so dazzled. She then went into her divine bracelet on Elysia’s wrist as she would assist Elysia from there.
“I expected this.” The giant phantom spread his hands. Dozens of gigantic shadow hands poked out from the darkness, trying to bury the source of divine light into the bottomless abyss of darkness.
Unfortunately, the darkness could not approach any further because the intensity of the divine light was extremely destructive to them. Instead of burying the light, the dark got burned to ashes.
“The difference in strength is that big, huh... Then-” The giant phantom raised his hand and suddenly pressed his hands together.
Two gigantic waves crashed down from both sides, smashing into the divine light source and sinking it into the sea of darkness.
*Boom!*
“Kuh.” Elysia felt mentally shaken as this darkness messed with her senses. Her golden barrier was cracked, but it was soon repaired.
The corrosive darkness began to eat away at her light at an alarming rate, but she did not panic even though she was drowned in the sea of darkness.
Elena burned the curse energy, and Rhea prevented any spiritual disturbances.
‘Ely, you are also a master in the dark element, right? Our magic will come in handy. I’ll take care of the curse for you.’ Elena gave a suggestion as she hadn’t seen Elysia use the element of darkness in a long time.
“...” Elysia opened her eyes and was silent for a moment. She thought it was possible to make herself blend into the darkness. So, instead of fighting darkness with light, she could become darkness and use enemy elements to strengthen her magic.
Elysia let her divine light element protect herself. Still, she also started to summon the dark element she hadn’t used in a while.
“Elements move by the power of the caster, but what if the element itself is taken over? Endless darkness, take over.” Elysia took a deep breath and activated her sacred eyes. She remodeled the darkness that drowned her and turned the substance that made up the element into her own to control.
*Splash*
Elysia flew out of the sea of darkness. She fought the current and gravity before it sank her deep into the endless abyss.
“What the-, what kind of being are you exactly? Are you really a Goddess from the Human Race?” The giant phantom was extremely shocked when he saw current Elysia’s situation.
That girl was wrapped in a gold spherical barrier, but thousands of butterflies of darkness were flying around her. They were his dark matter and curse energy, but that girl converted it all into her own magic? It was light within the darkness. Could these opposing elements coexist like that?
“...” Elysia didn’t say anything. She stretched out her hand and made a grasping motion, crushing the phantom with her darkness.
“So, it’s like that. Hahaha, I feel stupid to challenge you with darkness and curse energy. You are a rule breaker like me, albeit superior. Our strength difference is that high, huh... If only I could launch a fatal strike at you, it would be my victory. Unfortunately, that opportunity never came.” The giant phantom laughed sinisterly as he felt crushed in the darkness.
It was easy to tell that Elysia was so physically weak. If she received just one fatal strike, then victory would obviously go to him. However, Elysia was protected by one or two unknown entities hiding within her body. Not to mention that Turquoise Goddess. It was four against one from the start.
A few seconds passed. The giant phantom felt its energy being taken over by the unknown. Rather it was absorbed. His form returned to a blond-haired boy with unusually pale skin, almost like undead now.
The intensity of the surrounding corrosive darkness also gradually decreased, leaving only the golden glow of Elysia’s barrier. The absolute darkness cracked and collapsed, revealing the starry night sky and the land of endless ash fog.
They returned to their original state, but the glowing tree had already been reduced to ashes, and Alashor knelt down from exhaustion.
“No. I’m afraid I’ll be overwhelmed if it’s the real you, not your avatar. Our battle will not end so soon.” Elysia heaved a subtle sigh. She felt Alastor’s avatar couldn’t do anything because she had forcefully snatched away his energy.
“Is it like that? I think the result will be the same. You’ve never fought it out with everything you’ve got, so how can I win? I’m not aiming for victory in this battle, only measuring your true strength. However, I hit my limit before seeing the glimpse. So, what are you going to do? You may win the battle but also lose the war.” Alashor was branded in self-deprecation.
“Where did you send my friends and the others? What kind of dimension did you prepare for them?” Elysia didn’t change her expression, remaining aloof and calm.
“I’ve said it before, haven’t I? I’ll inflict a true terror from the past Ruvoid God on them. It may not be as great as my past glory, but it might have an interesting impact on you. What happens if they die. I wonder.” Alashor grinned.
“Are you done playing around? Someone told me that an avatar will return to the host when the main body is destroyed, but the core remains intact. We prepared a gift for you. The curse is the greatest thing, right? Then, I will send a great curse upon the real you and the Council’s members. You will send this to them.” Elysia swung her arms and obliterated the remnants of Alashor’s avatar.
She kept the avatar’s core intact and took the spirit orb. She starts to install a permanent almighty curse that will be sent to Alashor and everyone around him.
“We may be too late to prevent your ascension to the higher world. The heaven sky will be damaged, but we will find a solution. I send you a curse. Go to your host, and show me the way out of here.” Elysia released the avatar’s core, and it shot into a gap of darkness.
She immediately followed suit and found herself warped back to Council’s island.
‘Master Elysia, what kind of curse did you send to the Ruvoid God? Will it work? He is the embodiment of the curse. So, the cursed curse? I can’t imagine the result.’ Rhea reappeared herself to the outside world. She felt a little confused.
‘It was a curse that would torment him whenever he did or thought evil. I don’t know if it will work or not, but it never hurts to try. He pissed me off so much, after all.’ Elysia took a deep breath and started looking for where Nell, Vanessa, and Yuuki were.
Their spirit connections were very useful for pinpointing locations between one another.
‘Let’s leave Alashor’s avatar issue aside. We need to go to the other sealed dimension. They’re all there, facing off hordes of accursed beings.’ Elysia grabbed Rhea’s hand and teleported to the sealed dimension.
It was vastly different from the previously sealed dimension. That realm was an endless expanse of desert with a deep blood-red sky. Hot, barren, and nowhere to escape, let alone hide.
Tens of thousands of accursed creatures were attacking the forces of the Divine Association and Elysia’s group. They relied heavily on the anti-curse mechanism to avoid the threat of dangerous curses.
“Ely, you came just in time. Please give them several anti-curse mechanisms. This aggression is so overwhelming. Everyone is overwhelmed.” Nell greeted Elysia and her big sister with relief.
‘Ely, do you want to eliminate all those accursed creatures with an area of effect magic? Please do not do that. You’ve used too much magic in such a short time. I am afraid that your body will suffer a great burden. You need a break. They can handle all this efficiently. Trust your friends. Those Gods and deities are also very powerful.’ Elena gave a piece of advice in case Elysia wanted to unleash an ultimate attack and ended the battle in one fell swoop.
‘All right.’ Elysia realized that her body was already feeling tired, and she better not push herself. If she fainted, she would be more troublesome than helpful.
She then distributed several anti-curse mechanisms to the battlefield and became a spectator.
‘Ely looks like the real danger is over. I’m sorry, I can’t help because the entrance disappears when you enter the sealed realm. Your shadow is gone, and I can’t help anything.’ Ai immediately came out of Elysia’s shadow. She then told Cherub to eradicate those cursed monsters.
‘It’s okay, Ai. Everything is fine. The chaos in heaven is coming to an end. Alashor is just buying time, so we don’t interfere with his ascension.’ Elysia heaved a subtle sigh and watched her friends in action on the battlefield.
Everyone received the buffs from Nell’s blessing magics. Lifa was dominant in the defensive line with Gio beside her.
Evelyn and Yuuki shot the accursed creatures along with the other archers from the back line.
Sylvia, Lynn, Xentia, and Vanessa were at the forefront. They seemed to be vying to eradicate the monsters.
However, a large black dragon entered the battlefield and disrupted the battle order. Cherub exterminated all his opponents like a massacre without worrying about curses.
Apart from Elysia’s group, the members of the Divine Association also finished their part without any major problems. Some Gods and deities were contaminated with curses even though the anti-curse mechanism was already there. Luckily, Elysia was there to purify and cleanse the curse.
The seemingly endless battle then finally ended when Elysia used her sacred eyes and pinpointed the source where the monsters come from. After the monster’s core was destroyed, the accursed creatures disappeared into ashes.
Lifa then created a crack in the dimension wall and changed the dimension laws a bit. After that, Elysia brought everyone out of the sealed dimension and returned to the Celestial Palace.
