Chapter 42 - Zemeta and Lady Camilla vs Mindra

"Watch out!" Zemeta exclaimed, blitzing Camilla to safety.

The blade of the elder goddess hit the ground with so much force, it created a blast which sent the columns around her flying into different directions.

"Thank you," the Scythian warrior grunted before throwing up as a side effect of the goddess's speed.

"Sorry about that," she apologized. "Had to intervene or she would have killed you."

Camilla nods wiping her mouth clean from her vomit, "It's fine. Now how do we take her down?"

Zemeta looks back at the goddess levitating in the air with a sword in her hand, "I'll use my speed and you use your raw power. With our combo, the both of us would be unstoppable."

She nods unsheathing her swords as she prepares to follow the goddess of speed back into the battle.

"Let's take this creature down."

The elder goddess Mindra was not an easy one to defeat. From what I could see on the battlefield, she could move through objects making her impossible to take down. No matter how many slashes the Scythian would give with her sword it wasn't enough as the goddess would phase through it easily making her a troublesome opponent to deal with.

"Her ability to move through things is becoming a bother," Camilla noted. "I can't get a hit on her but somehow she can get a hit on me."

Zemeta clicked her tongue trying to think of a solution to their problem, "I've got an idea."

"Does it involve me doing anything risky?"

"Well... yes," the goddess answered. "You need to keep up with her attacks, from what I see, she can't phase objects as she would want it to get to you just like her sword. Try baiting her into fighting for extended periods while I check out her attack patterns and other powersets incase she pulls up something new."

"I'm a Scythian warrior," the woman smiled standing at full height. "We live to fight."

They smiled at each other before running to the goddess who was thrilled to have her opponents back in battle.

"Welcome," she smiled. "Have you both decided to give up your lives to join...?"

"I'm going to stop you right there," Camilla interrupted pointing her sword at the floating deity. "We're taking you down."

"I'd like to see you try."

Zemeta speeds towards the goddess with intentions of overwhelming the creature, but she could see her moves and react to every attack while effortlessly dodging Camilla's swords. The reaction of the deity was on par with the speedster making her invincible in battle. From my angle all I could see were flashes of light as Zemetas body created after-images while she ran. Lady Camilla was no slouch either for she was able to keep up with the deities sword attacks in ways I knew were impossible, even for me.

"It's not working!" Camilla grunted in frustration. "I can't do anything to hurt her!"

As she passes on this information to Zemeta, Mindra who had gotten tired of playing with her opponents kicks the Scythian across the chest sending her flying across the field, destroying walls and columns around the elder gods home.

"You!" the new goddess bellowed using her speed in a different way to attack the creature, punching and zipping out before she could retaliate. Each punch was so powerful shockwaves were created with each bombardment. A fellow new god like herself would have a hard time keeping up with the speedster in battle but her opponent was strong enough to handle the blows. With each hit, the goddess got faster and faster until she was no longer visible to me. All I could see which made me know she was still there were the shockwaves and the way the elder goddess retreated, trying to protect herself from contracting damages.

The goddess seemed to get tired of being beaten for she slammed her sword into the ground with destructive force sending everyone including the other elder gods and their opponents flying out of the pantheon, wiping out every column, boulder and gate which held up the home of the gods.

I looked in awe at how powerful she was, being able to create such overwhelming force which could effortlessly hurl every combatant, elder god or not, out of her range.

A few seconds passed before each warrior got up from their different destinations after being flung by the blast. They looked around like nothing had happened only to continue fighting with even greater ferocity against their various adversaries.

"I'm done with this foolishness," snapped the creature, levitating into the air with her opponents sprawled out over the rubble amidst the ongoing battle below.
