The Colossus ran away but John was still standing there Dark energy around him still growing in intensity, it was like a new evil God was about to be created. Olaf couldn't hide his worry and the hope that Erika would hurry up to bring claire to them.
He tried to reach John but the dark force repelled him.
Several minutes went by and the grass around John was withering away, but fortunately, Erika and claire came running.
Erika stayed next to Olaf but Claire kept on running, tears started flowing down her cheeks when she saw John. Claire reached the dark force but was also stopped like Olaf was before, she started hammering her fists against it to reach John.
But the barrier wouldn't budge, she yelled Johns's name but her voice couldn't reach him.
Claire fell to her knees in despair as she couldn't reach him, she then took out a knife cut her hand and rubbed the flowing blood on the barrier and started praying that some being helped, John.
Suddenly dark clouds gathered lightning fell near them filled with silver light. A holy presence emerged, a Goddess clad in silver armor stood tall in front of them.
Silver Hair flowed down from her head over her shoulder to her hips.
Her Armor fully out of metal plates accentuated her feminine figure while offering perfect protection everything in silver with some Sapphires. A silver headband was covering her eyes but her white shining eyes were glowing through it. Six sapphire-colored angel wings were on her back. She wielded a giant two-handed hammer filled with engravings and carvings that an expert filled with something like liquid sapphire.
Olaf, Erika, and Claire couldn't see her lips move but they all heard a voice in their head.
"I am Aetheria Goddess of judgment. I heard your prayer child, but first, let me get rid of that unsightly taint that rots the world!"
Aetheria moved her arm and another lightning struck down hitting the dark barrier which shattered under the holy force and John fell down on his knees.
Everyone calmed down when they saw John and Claire wanted to thank Aetheria when suddenly angels emerged and grabbed John and chained him to silver wall that was now floating over the ground. Aetheria's Hammer shattered and turned to a giant throne were Aetheria sat down.
Claire who couldn't just watch how John was treated yelled at the goddess.
But Aetheria answered smiling:
"Peace my childe, this evil being stands on trial before me. We shall see if it has to be eradicated."
Claire lost all color in her face and went silent.
Aetheria continued:
"The trial shall begin..."
