Last time~
Ariock cut off the memory there as he didn't need to watch the rest of it to know what happened next.
Leaving Kumo's mind while completely unsealing her memories Ariock smiled.
"I think I just found my new recruit."
..................
After finishing his statement the temple started to shake intensely and a pressure that would kill most men/women with ease pushed it's self down on Ariock.
But Ariock is not most people.
Barely even twitching Ariock raised an eyebrow at the insane pressure before realizing what it was and sweating bullets.
Slowly looking towards the other side of the room Ariock gained the " I fucked up face".
The reason?
He neglected to not use high tier magic.Which weakened the seals holding Gora.
Then Kumo made it worse when she gathered a massive amount of Gora energy.
To put the cherry on top Ariock's and Kumo's fight destroyed quite a bit of the temple making the seals even weaker.
So yeah he fucked up.
But back to the point.
The medium sized door with the seals that held Gora were becoming increasingly dimer until they eventually stopped producing light altogether.
For a minute all was quite as if the world it's self was holding it's breath.
Then shit hit the fan.
*BOOM*
The door to Gora's prison was blasted open sending it flying into a wall, at the same time a utterly ridiculous amount bloodlust, killing intent, and magical pressure flowed out of the entrance in waves.
It had enough power to make a high SS rank shrivel up in fear and a low SS rank to pass out.
Knowing this Ariock quickly casted a barrier over Kumo to protect her from the waves of power coming towards them.
When the waves hit them Ariock shivered unconsciously.
Not at the magic power but at the killing intent.
You see killing intent is gained when you kill something. The more you kill the more killing intent you have.
Gora's killing intent was in a word, impossible.
Take Ariock's intent for instance. In his past life he had killed tens of thousands of people making his killing inten back then one of the most potent on the planet. This carried over to his current life as well, and it has only grown since then.
But he couldn't compare to Gora's. Her intent felt like she had killed millions. It was like he was a level one scrub in a rpg infront of a world boss level enemy that would normally take hundreds of players to defeat.
However Ariock would not back down.
Waving his hand Ariock teleported Kumo to his home with a note attached to her before slowly walking towards the once heavily sealed door.
Realizing he had to use a lot more of his power than normal to even have a fighting chance against Gora he unsealed all ten of his magic and physical seals, instantly shooting his power through the roof.
The reason he didn't undo all of his seals is that Gora should be in a weakened state since she had been sealed in this temple for a long time.
Not to mention that she shouldn't have that many followers decreasing her power even further.
Judging from the amount of magical power she's emitting Ariock thinks she should only be at the level of a minor god.
Something he could handle with only ten seals unlocked if he was smart.
Yes, it would have been easy to beat Gora in her current state if he unlocked all his power. But their was a problem with that.
It'd call attention to him self something he did not need nor want.
If he had time to put some seals around the area to conceal his power he'd do it but he didn't have enough time for that.
Moving on, Ariock gradually increased the amount of magical pressure he was sending out while walking until it matched and then surpassed Gora's.
When Ariock finally reached the entrance he took in the appearance of Gora.
(3rd person)
Standing at a height of 6"11', she had white hair that had streaks of black and red reached down to the knees, red alluring eyes that spoke of bloodshed, pale white skin that carried lines of crimson scattered across the body that seemed to glow an errie scarlett in the darkly lit room, a face that would make a gay man turn straight and straight women turn gay, and a hour glass body that would put all athletes to shame.
Ariock was telling the truth that she looked like a goddess of beauty.
She wore a black dragon scaled breast plate that fit quite nicely with her figure, along with with black metal grieves.
In her left hand Gora held an abyssal white long-sword that glowed with power, while in the right hand she held a long-sword that was pitch black and seemed to suck in all light.
The swords of darkness and light, or as some call them , Aku and Hao ,evil and good.
These swords were given to Gora after she defeated the black dragon that rampaged across the gods realm.
In the legends it says Aku was made from the soul of the dragon while Hao was made with the soul of a innocent dragon the black dragon killed and devoured.
Legends true or not Ariock knew one thing those swords were dangerous. They are much more powerful than Ariock's Epee when it comes to offensive attacks.
All these thoughts ran through Ariock's brain in less than a millisecond, but to a god especially a goddess of battle that's all that they would need to take advantage of the situation.
Gora gave a small smile that would make a lesser man or women turn to mush before raising Aku in the air and slashing down, releasing a large boomerang shaped blast of dark energy directly at Ariock.
Snapping his attention to the energy slash Ariock quickly summoned his Epee to his right hand via teleportation.
*Clang*
His Epee held firm as the black energy slash pushed against him.
Frowning slightly Ariock redirected the attack to behind him.
*boom*
A explosion ( a small one In Ariocks opinion) rang out to the back of Ariock leaving a large gabing hole in the side of the temple right next to the one he and Kumo made.
Gora seemed surprised at his actions, alomst as if she expected him to die in the first hit.
Her surprise turned to amusement and then excitement right after. She looked like a child who found a new toy.
This pissed Ariock off.
Gora attacked before Ariock could act on his anger however.
With a wicked smile Gora pounced at Ariock at incredibly fast speeds making her vanish from any mortals eyes.
*Swish*
Ariock wasn't a mortal though. With surprising ease Ariock dodged a stab from Gora's weapon, Aku, aimed for his leg and retaliated with a side ways slash from his Epee.
*clang*
Gora with her momentum was able to swing Hao into position to block the incoming attack from Ariock. Unluckly ( or luckily for Ariock) the force from the clashing of her weapon and Ariock's caused her to be pushed back slightly
Ariock seeing this took full advantage.
*wham*
In a swift motion Ariock spartan kicked Gora in the abdomen making her skid backwards.
Ariock didn't give anytime to recover as he rushed in Epee glowing a neon green.
*Clang*
Gora barely had enough time to block the approaching attack with Aku.
This attack from Ariock did leave him open though.
After all she had two swords while he had one.
*swoosh* Clang*CRACK*
Gora swung Hao at Ariock wanting to cut off his head. Only for it to fail as a dark green transparent hexagon came into existence at the last moment blocking her attack and making her stance waver while leaving a large crack on the hexagon.
This distraction gave Ariock the opening he needed.
*Blam*
Ariock gave Gora a powerful uppercut with his left hand sending her hurdling upwards, teloporting in front of her right after.
*Swoosh* Slash*Slash*Slash*Clang*Clang*
With his Epee Ariock was able to land three deep gashes before Gora got ahold of herself and started blocking, one on her left arm, one on her right arm, and one on her face.
Gora and Ariock glared at each other as they battled in the air both using floating magic to keep them airborne.
As they continued to fight they became faster and faster until even most low-tier gods would be having trouble keeping up.
Every second they fought more and more of the temple was being destroyed soon it would be nothing but ashes.
There after images showed a intense battle that was seemingly fought evenly.
But if you looked close you could see that Ariock had the slight advantage.
Soon all the after images disappeared and Ariock and Gora reappeared in the middle of the room in a stale mate.
Their weapons grind on one another causing sparks to fling off there swords.
Shock waves of power bursted forth from there struggle, shaking the ground around them.
Wanting to end this Ariock decided to push one more time.
Grunting Ariock propelled himself forwards making Gora stagger. Then with practiced ease he dropped to ground, coated his legs in magic, kicked Gora's legs making her fall, and then jumped up and precedes to axe kick her into the ground.
*BOOM*
A huge crater formed around Gora's body as she impacted the ground.
Gora groaned in pain and tried to sit up.
Ariock wasn't having any of that. With no hesitation Ariock plunged his Epee into the skull of Gora, killing her.
Or so you would think.
Gora's body began to decay, slowly the skin then everything else turned into a black ooze.
Sighing Ariock shook his head. He knew this was too easy he didn't even have to use magic to beat her. Not to mention when he cut Gora there was no blood.
He thought that it was just because she was a god of battle but dismissed that idea soon after.
This whole time he was fighting a fake.
And it seems that the real Gora knew that he knew.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" a crazed feminine disembodied voice echoed through the temple.
