Will of chaos

Chapter 1223 Cap 1221: This is my time to intervene

Pov Haku:

I had to do something, Saint Karina could be here defending us, but that man wasn't the only enemy, even though he is draining his own army, I can still feel the Insect Empresses moving towards us alone, I must have just a few seconds before they arrive.

Cinthia was still injured from what she suffered while she was away from us earlier, Hades was already seriously injured from the previous ambush and got even more serious injuries during that battle, to make matters worse for Hades the drain of his blood seems to have affected him a lot already that your Aura seems so weak now.

I'm also injured, but I'm the one in the best condition among the three of us, this Star Fire has been causing me great pain throughout my body, which surprisingly doesn't bother me that much.

"(I didn't want to try this, but I have no choice.)" (I)

"< Aura Relic: Blood of Chaos >" (I)

Unlike others, my Aura Relic is not a crystallization of my Aura, this is because my Aura Relic is my own blood that merges with my Aura, becoming pure energy in my veins, directly affecting my body.

GGGGGGGRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

My body changes and turns red while my hair becomes ethereal and my wings grow to twice the size, every aspect of my body becomes stronger as I do not even use the Star Flames to adapt my body causing a completely new level of pain until my consciousness flickered back only with the attack of the 5 Bug Empresses piercing my body from different directions.

"Thank you for coming..." (I)

"< Parasitic Butterflies >" (I)

From his Aura, several Butterflies emerge with wings made from the Star Flames themselves, they enter the body of two of the five Empresses while I use my claws to pierce the body of a third before they all move away.

Of the two that were infested by my butterflies, one of them has several tiny insects coming out of its wounds with pieces of my butterflies dissipating into the air.

While the other, her body starts to burn, pushing the other 4 away from her, but this only means that they lost the best possibility of killing her when her body melts like ice on a hot day, less than 2 seconds later her body becomes a hard shell that for an attack aimed at her that only managed to crack the shell that explodes revealing a figure inside opening its Starfire wings like those of a butterfly.

It was a creature with no other features other than the silhouette that imitates mine and the white hair, its wings made of Star Flames flapped, spreading a wave of fire around it that hit the Insect Empress who attacked her cocoon or should I say the remains of what left over from his old body.

I glance at Cinthia who took Hades away, the whole time I can feel both of them and I felt her moving away leaving me relieved as it took me longer than expected to adapt my body to these flames using my Aura Relic, even so, the pain only increased, the burning energy coursing through my veins causes me no harm, but the pressure and pain I feel is much greater than I imagined.

"(I have to take care of these Empresses while Saint Karina takes care of that enemy and they have to be quick while I can maintain consciousness.)" (I)

Pov Natasha's:

I was drinking from a bottle that works with an expanded interior using space magic, something I custom-ordered for Lyra and Nicole.

I was enjoying the battle unfolding in front of us while Caitlyn ate a pot full of cookies.

"Who's going to help them?" (I)

"They don't need help, with the exception of Haku when the fight ends, she is taking the power of the Flame of Rebirth from Zenos without realizing its real function in the cycle of life and death." (Caitlyn)

"She won't be a big problem, her unique body will leave her alive or at least close enough for me to be able to heal, I shouldn't even need Saint Yaramaki's help." (I)

"Then why interfere, they are doing well." (Caitlyn)

"I'm particularly surprised about Karina, I didn't think she would wake up before Zenos returned from Hell." (Caitlyn)

"She shouldn't have woken up, something must have happened to force her to this point, I'm sure she came here instinctively, no one among Zenos' group had learned the Way of Blood before this." (I)

"Besides, she's going to lose, she's using powers she doesn't fully control in a transformed body, she's not ready to fight like that." (I)

Just by looking, I saw Karina at the combat advantage, her combined power set, from the Sword of Zenos, the Dragon Totem of Zenos, the Incomplete Divine Weapon, and the Holy Power she is draining from the Communal Temple was what allowed this great advantage against a much stronger enemy.

This advantage was halved with him stealing the power of this great army and only decreases as time passes, right now the two are tied in terms of power, but he has better control of the power he stole compared to the power borrowed from Karina.

"How things are going Karina will lose in a little over 1 hour and by then Haku should have finished his battle without needing help." (I)

"If you are worried about them then do something on your own, I am very tired after training Zenos and now having to deal with his Heroes." (Caitlyn)

"Fine, but at least stay close by, their vehicle was destroyed and your magic item is the only thing we'll need to use to get back." (I)

"Of course I'm going to stay, unlike Karina who has a great source of Holy Power to waste, you're going to have to fight with everything and even then it's going to be difficult, I wouldn't miss the chance to see someone break their teeth for anything." (Caitlyn)

"What a horrible thing to say to your older sister." (I)

"When we first met you broke me in half with your hands." (Caitlyn)

"That was thousands of years ago, stop holding such grudges, that's why you never had a boyfriend." (I)

"What did you say!?" (Caitlyn)

"I didn't say anything... I swear I didn't say anything..." (I)

I had sweat dripping down my back as she focused her eyes on me, any romantic topic is taboo around this embittered brat, I'm lucky I had a dangerous situation occurring or I'd have to watch out for Caitlyn trying to kill me again.

---------------

After several minutes the situation occurred as I thought it would, Haku killed all the Insect Empresses at the cost of few serious injuries, the worst she suffered was caused by Zenos' Flames of Rebirth whose power she used putting great pressure on her body and her Soul.

Haku did well by creating an ally with her first attack, it was garlic that she tried to do again without having a second success since enemies won't fall for a trick like that twice, but even so, this creature she created served to divide attention from enemies and as a living shield for some dangerous attacks.

After all this time the Swarm of Insects was already dead for a long time, but even so that Priest of Greed is still drawing power from their Souls and the power of death that surrounded their bodies trying to take the Souls, that's why I hate those bastards.

Because of this, her power was already far above what Karina could carry while her power was falling, the Star Flames she used as armor were consuming a lot of Holy Power, which by the way she had to spend, but the Flames were finite and were running out later After a long fight, this diminished one of her greatest weapons in this fight and even so, she still lasted a long time just fighting at a disadvantage.

The Star Sword released a Dragon of energy with each slash making it difficult for the Priest of Greed to dodge or defend, yet the damage he suffered from these attacks was not severe even as it accumulated throughout the fight.

His focus seems to be on the use of Runes and energy manipulation, around his body there were dozens of rings made of lines of Runes with different sizes.

Whenever he attacked, he didn't use his own energy, he always used the energy he was absorbing from the Swarm and thanks to this he preserved his strength while Karina spent hers.

Right now he is almost completely fine with the only true damage being a diagonal cut from his right shoulder to the left part of his waist.

But compared to the little damage on him, Karina was full of injuries, be it broken scales all over her body, she was talking about her Starfire armor, the loss of a few fingers, and several broken bones.

Of course, none of these physical injuries were a deterrent for a True Dragon like her, but the Runes branded on her body were doing damage to her Aura and Soul while increasing the already great pressure on her body, it looks like I'll have to intervene sooner than I expected.

"(It looks like she won't last much longer, but at least it should be a good combat experience for her.)" (I)

"Looks like it's my turn, I'm going." (I)

"I'll at least get her out of the way." (Caitlyn)
