"[Relativity]!" Audrey and the half-spirit fought for a long time, passing through the sunset and reaching midnight. They constantly traded attacks and sustained blows each time. It was a massive stalemate after Audrey arose from a losing position. However, due to the [Theory magic] that's being amplified by divine essence, Audrey was starting to understand the capabilities of the enemy.
"[Ouroboros]! [Gate of Darkness]!" Audrey was surprised by the sudden materialization of the Ouroboros halo right in front of her. It was the first time that she saw the capabilities of the Ouroboros being used, thus she had to quickly make preparation.
She summoned hundreds of time-delayed divine chains on the ground ready to rise up and lock the half-spirit in place. She was then sucked into the gate by the Ouroboros despite resisting greatly.
The place she was dropped into was nothing but black this time. She could hear the words of expectation, and extreme pressure. "Ophelia, your power is just completely out of control. This world will not accept power that cannot be controlled." "I've been greatly disappointed, but I cannot stomach what you've done just for me." Her memories were not flooding into Audrey, but it was somewhat similar as she began to see the other side.
"I'm not kindhearted... So you'll have to meet your end here. Unknown Goddess of Magic." Audrey spoke as she prepared a fully destructive ability inside the black dimension. "[Theory Magic], [Blo-]" She was interrupted in the middle of her chant as she instinctively dodged something from behind. "I can't cast spells or I get attacked? Troublesome it is... Then." Audrey channeled her divine energy. The place she's currently in is a trapping barrier, thus she created a barrier from the inside in an instant. Because they're both made up of divinity, Audrey simply extended her barrier in lightspeed to break the trap from the inside. In that moment, the half-spirit was caught surprised by the sudden shock brought by smashing two divinity infused barriers, giving Audrey a small timeframe to utilize her own trap. She brought out all fifty chains to catch the half-spirit successfully and restrain her. In the middle of that, she activated her final resort against the enemy. "[Theory Magic]! [Blooming Star]!" Audrey has a massive shortage of mana, energy, and divinity after fighting for over hours. But she has one thing that the half-spirit doesn't have. "[Life essence to mana conversion]!" Converting a massive amount of life energy from the surroundings and herself, she tripled the power of a star rivalling Draxus's [Nova] in Destroyer state. "!!!" The half-spirit used the Ouroboros barrier as a shield to absorb the divinity, leaving only the form of theory and star essence to damage her which can be blocked by her barrier. What she didn't realize is that, Audrey had something else to follow up. "Got you, [Theory Magic]! [Principle Addition]!" "Wha?!!" With both her barrier and the shield broken, the half-spirit finally sustained damage against Audrey's attacks. But it still wasn't enough, small injuries could be seen on the half-spirit, while Audrey has nothing to use against the enemy. "Haaah... It's unfortunate that I don't have the cards... But I have to stand strong..." Audrey bluffed on her state as she tried to stand firm after using everything she had. The half-spirit, not knowing how much power remained in Audrey, thought carefully about the situation despite being greatly frustrated by her impenetrable barrier being broken. "Tch." She simply clicked her tongue and booked it back to the gateway to which she came from. "Heh... What a little bitch..." Audrey cursed as she crouched down in massive agony. Her form was cancelled, and her state was bordering life and death after using nearly every bit of her life essence. "Despite nearly dying and the enemy being nearly unscathed... If they retreat, then I fucking win." Audrey brought out a [Recovery Deluxe] potion and drank it without hesitation. She no longer has to worry about mortality as she lied down with a massive sense of relief. Before long, Thalia arrived and felt slightly horrified after seeing Audrey lying down. "Audrey!" She quickly rushed in to check on her and started to heal her using magic. "Oh...? Thalia...? It's good, I drank a potent recovery potion already, so save your mana for later...? We have to fix this entire place... But let me take a nap... It was my most taxing battle, and I'm wondering how to report this incident to Draxus..." Audrey wondered about what to do next after the battle.
In the meantime...
"It was a failure, Lord Kenós..." The half-spirit drifted back into the outside realm reporting to Kenós who is making preparations to erase a realm. "Is that so? Were the people there too strong perhaps?" "No, the Goddess of Magic is there with them, and she seems to be adept with [Theory Magic]." Kenós let out a voice of interest as he knew the source of the [Theory Magic]. Then that means that your opponent was a close aide of our main target, the last soul of the [Prime Existence]. You did well, let us retreat for now them." "What about the realm?" "That can wait, there are still other realms we can erase before this one. We have to take a breather first though." Kenós didn't look frustrated by the result, he was rather intrigued that there are now opponents that could actually fight against them, an actual resistance that makes the game much more interesting. With a sinister smile, he flashed his mantle, the half-spirit entered the mantle and he followed afterwards. "This game of war is just beginning, there will be many more opportunities to fight against them. Right? Cronus, and Magna?" The two figures then disappeared entirely from the area. They returned to a dark cavern where Kenós sits on the throne, he gazed over a large army of monsters that have various properties. Gigantic death reapers, on the size of ten meters in height, with their gleaming mandibles ready to slice anything in half, with a large protruding stinger from their back.
