" The army of shadows released by the beast sweeps over the world.
Being all structures devoid of matter, they do not fear offensives.
The souls absorbed by the shadow of the beast have changed into puppets serving its purposes.
Not fearing the shadow that gave them life—they moved on the soiled ground without hindrance.
With the aim of destroying those chosen by the world.
Arazia appeared instantly.
using her instant movement spell.
She faced the shadows.
Making her body a dam.
An impassable fortress.
Magic circles with incompressible glyphs floated on her right hand.
Jets of sparkling blue flames surged at full speed over the cluster of shadows.
The shadow structure collapsed one after another, engulfed by the blazing flames.
It was a hell of flames lighting up in his eyes.
It may have been just a mass of burning shadows - but for Azaria the swirling flames brought back supposedly forgotten memories.
Memories of a burning human village. The memory of a girl running under the ground heated by the temperature of the flames.
Fear and dread appeared on her face.
Distorting their features .
Covered in burns.
she screamed for help — but no one listened to her among the immense crowd fighting for survival.
The gaze filled with fear and moral disturbance observed the wall of fire that silently surrounded her.
The blue of the crystalline flames was reflected in her dilated pupils.
Glimmering with the enlighten blaze light .
a monster stood before her—he was big enough to crush her with his foot.
His body was partially hidden by the blazing inferno which reduced the surroundings to ashes.
These glowing eyes that stood out from the flames were fixed on the young girl.
her heart skipped a few beats.
The creature did not have a human form—but rather a demonic one . Two enormous horns were attached to the front of its forehead, crossing his head in the shape of a circular "C" - pointing upwards the burning sky. The young girl's fear doubles in intensity at the sight of the entity straight out of the realm of shadows.
the demonic entity opened his mouth wide, as if to express his displeasure.
the intensity of the flames doubles. at the Call scream unleashed by the blazing monster .
The swirling blue flames engulfed the girl along with the surroundings.
"Young mistress" a voice called out.
But Arazia was immersed in otherworldly memories - memories of her native village which had succumbed to the very same blue flames.
The one burning to ash the corrupted shadows.
her pomposity had cut her off from the world and reality.
Ignoring the call of her faithful companion.
"Mistress!! ><" The voice insisted violently - thus bringing Arazia's mind back to reality.
"Sorry piwi — I got a little nostalgic."
She humbly apologized to her companion.
Piwi is Arazia's teddy bear and also her faithful servant.
Originally a demon incarnation of chaos called [majin]—he was spared his life by Arazia in exchange for eternal allegiance.
physically destroyed by Arazia .
She locked her soul in a stuffed animal using magic tricks
"buried memories?" he asked.
after all the years spent by her side - piwi could easily read her mistress's expressions.
"indeed... uncomfortable memories" she delicately lifted her hair which had fallen following the waves of the explosion of her spell.
the flames fade into the world. The shadows had burned—unable to hold the heat of the flames—turned to ash
. their numbers had declined accordingly.
They did not present regeneration given by the beast structure.
but some was able to maintain their balance despite the extent of the damage taken by the blazing blue Flame
.they were protecting themselves by shields made of various elements types attribute as earth -wind - water and waves.
The shadows that stood before Arazia were different from the first one . .
a line appeared on their faces — growing visibly wider. a C-shaped smile was formed on their faces. displaying a shaped snow-colored dental line.
They were laughing . without any restraint.
with a haughty look. Arazia instantly deciphered the magnitude of the situation.
Those who stood before her were not mere shadows.
But special unmaterialized power holders.
The legion of angels sent by God merged with humanity - thus granting them access to God's information.
having passed over years from generation to generation .
The angel's power has been diluted.
lost in its purity.
Those with that diluted power are considered anomalies.
Beings heirs of a power too weak than its "origin" to be called an angelic link and too powerful for humanity to be neglected.
The shadow of the beast swallowed the world and humanity.
Now they are used as a second line of defense.
"espers!.." Arazia repeated .
The situation was becoming disturbing.
She was aware of it.
Even though the strength level was astronomical. Deep as a pothole.
But the fact that the beast could control the soul and the power that emanated from it was dangerous.
The shadows simultaneously charged at Arazia.
In movements impossible to predict.
full of disturbing snickers.
"They are coming, masters!"
Piwi says when the shadows cross him in a flash of lightning.
A light flashes followed by a muffled sound.
that of two forces colliding, creating a powerful shock wave.
Arazia had created a mirror shield.
The fists of the shadows were frozen on the surface of the mirror without breaking it. despite their first failed offensives - the smile did not leave their faces.
Giggles could be heard in the sky.
Arazia gave them a dark and dark look.
The shadows of the beast were pushed back several meters — by the force of repulsion exerted by these eyes.
Having used the crawling shadow as a braking system — the shadows with powers without consciousness stood again.
Their movements were gimmick-like — followed by disturbing snickers.
One used his ability to manipulate plants.
a branch of bramble corrupted by the particles of the beast was heading towards Azaria at high speed.
In a harmless move that is difficult to predict.
In order to protect herself from the attack against her - Azaria invoked her infernal defense spell " Fortress of Fire ".
a colon of bluish fire suddenly surrounded him — reducing the corrupted brambles to dust. with a cautious jump back - she moved away from the wall of fire she had just created.
The fire pylon was being consumed by the particles that had interfered in the previous attack.
"Mistress behind you!!!" Piwi yelled frantically.
"..?!" Arazia , whose body was floating in the air under the action of her movement, had missed sight of the shadow slipping behind her Trying a surprise attack.
It was infested and corrupted by the miasma of the beast which could harm the conception of things.
the perfectly closed fist of the shadow was fogged with black flames.
Crackling through space as if on fire.
In a fit of despair, Piwi had put himself between the shadows and Arazia.
Taking the dark flames of shadow head on.
"uhg!.." Piwi felt excruciating pain overcome him as he collapsed into Arazia's arms.
His body was artificial and made of inorganic matter.
feeling pain was impossible for him.
But yet the very foundation of its existence has been affected.
what the flames of shadow struck was not the physical envelope but the soul.
"Piwi..!" she held the body of the stuffed animal in her hand. The wound inflicted by the shadow did not heal.
His healing magic was ineffective.
"mistress..!" he mumbled her name lightly. Arazia suddenly opened her eyes at the sound frequency passing through her ear.
It was Piwi's voice.
She was frail and light.
Giving the impression of fading away.
a glow illuminates his face, carrying away the body of piwi wool.
it was the form of his soul that was losing its value.
"aaah.. I'm going to die. A voice echoed from the luminescent orb that floated in front of Arazia's scaly eyes.
"ah mistress.. don't look." These words were heavy and filled with sadness. "I was of no use. His perception began to blur, the particles of his soul were scattering into nothingness.
Thus losing their unique information.
In these last moments Piwi thought back to his meeting with Azaria.
the time when he was just a demon hungry for power and the being who ended his quest.
