[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]
Third Person POV
Somewhere outside Orario.
...
...
Andares began to move and shake the ropes as they started to snap under his strength. A line of light emerged from Artemis and moved towards the monster, strengthening it.
"This is bad..." Riveria said.
"We were going to face it anyway, let's just remove Artemis so the monster doesn't absorb her," Lucius commented, using his Chrono Stasis spell. Artemis enters the sphere and, using teleport, disappears from the place.
"What is this?!" Riveria asked, looking at the balls that started emerging from the ceiling as they began to open.
"He's trying to kill us, creating small copies of himself," Lucius said as the balls created miniature versions of Antares, large enough to be bigger than them.
"Riveria, you have a better chance of destroying it than I do. Can you cast a powerful spell targeting the crystal?" Lucius asked, and she nodded.
"Just give me time for that," Riveria commented as she took a few jumps back and prepared her magic.
Lucius floated at that moment and began to create blue spheres like rasengans, targeting the creatures to protect Riveria. He launched his Chrono Chaos, destroying any creature that was caught.
*BOOOM!* *BOOM!*
While he was shooting at the creatures, Antares broke free from the last ropes and launched purple rays towards Lucius in the air.
'Chrono Stasis Grigora' With a thought, he caught all of Antares' shots and threw them back at the monster.
*BOOOM!*
"How are things going, Riveria?" Lucius returned to his woman.
"I'm concentrating..." She said, closing her eyes as she began to glow.
Riveria, with the serenity of an experienced mage, began to chant her magical song, her words resonating through the cave with an almost tangible force. The enchantment, an ancient magical language, flowed from her with a beauty and power that filled the air:
"Winds of ancient times, hear my call,
Guide the power that in the stars was forged.
Light of Elfia, in my heart burns,
Awaken, fury of nature, arise!
Elements of creation, align to my voice,
In the cosmic dance, the forces redefine.
Eternal is the flame, the light that never fades,
Through me, your power now flows.
By the roots of life, by the leaves of the world tree,
Flow, ancestral power, profound!
With the strength of the river that never ceases,
Pour over evil your promise!
May this magic, like a star to shine,
Break the shadows, come to illuminate!
In the heart of the dark, let the light penetrate,
Antares, by the light, come to transform, my name is Elf!"
As Riveria uttered each verse, her magic intensified. Her body began to glow with a golden, ethereal light, reflecting the power of the ancient magical lines she invoked. Her voice, now amplified by magic, seemed to echo from all directions, filling the cave with palpable energy.
At the climax of the enchantment, Riveria extended her hands forward, and from her staff emanated a beam of pure and powerful light. The light, tinged with the colors of the aurora, shot towards Antares, enveloping the monster in a shimmering glow.
The beam of light, upon hitting Antares, caused an explosion that shook the entire temple as Lucius moved away from Antares with his teleport, landing next to Riveria.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yes, I used some of my energy, but I'll be fine," she said.
"We haven't destroyed it yet..." Lucius commented, looking at the smoke feeling that Antares was perfectly fine, with his life-detecting magic.
"What will we do, it's too small a place for me to cast a more powerful spell," Riveria commented, seeking some assistance from Lucius.
"I have a plan, you'll have to trust me," Lucius said, as he didn't have Artemis' spear or arrow, he would have to use something else as powerful.
*ROAAARRR*
The roar of Antares resonated throughout the cave, the smoke dissipating, revealing the immense creature still furious and vibrant.
Lucius, sensing the imminent threat, quickly prepared himself. Focusing, he invoked his gravitational magic, weaving the spell and casting his gravitational field over his adversary. The ground around Antares rapidly changed, sinking a bit as Lucius unleashed a skillfully charged spell.
The invisible but powerful force began to press down on Antares, slowing his steps and making his movements heavier and slower.
Antares struggled against the force, anger in his eyes growing, but Lucius's magic had significantly slowed him down. Lucius turned his attention to Riveria, "Prepare the same spell as before, I have a plan to destroy it this time," he shouted.
Riveria, seizing the opportunity, began to conjure another spell. "I need a little more time, Lucius," she said, focusing her magical energy once again on the spell.
Lucius, observing the monster still slightly pressed against his gravitational magic, looked up, concentrated on his powerful spell, Chronos Chaos. Raising his hands, he channeled his magical energy, blue spheres began to form, and he released them towards the ceiling.
A series of bright blue spheres shot from his hands towards the cave ceiling. The spheres, charged with temporal and destructive power, collided with the rock, causing thunderous explosions that echoed throughout the space.
One after another, the spheres hit the ceiling, breaking the stone and sediment accumulated over millennia. Finally, with a last full-force Chronos Chaos, the cave ceiling completely collapsed. Lucius used his magic to protect Riveria from the debris while other parts of the ceiling fell on Antares, but it seemed not to deter the ancient creature. However, Lucius's action revealed the night sky above through a huge hole where the ceiling once was.
The moon, bright and full, poured its silver light over them, creating a surreal contrast with the chaotic scene below. "Lucius, what do you plan to do?" Riveria asked while still focusing on her magic, unable to help but look at the night sky a bit surprised.
"You will soon know," Lucius said and turned his attention to Antares, who had been freed from his gravitational magic and left behind with the debris from the ceiling. But as soon as he took a few steps, numerous thunder traps were activated, many that Lucius had placed at the beginning of the fight, and many thunders began to engulf the roaring beast from the sudden enemy attack.
Lucius, seeing that he managed to delay the monster even more, closed his eyes, extending his magical senses beyond his body, sensing the magical energy naturally flowing in the atmosphere around the temple. He activated his mana zone and began to absorb the energy through small lights that started to glow at that moment, increasing their number.
20 seconds into this while Antares still suffered from his traps, he realized he had enough magic to cast a grand spell. He stopped absorbing the magic particles and appeared above the still dazed Antares, releasing a black hole after a chant.
"My name is elf!" He said, and a dark ball that seemed to devour all the light around it appeared above Antares. The monster, caught by another type of gravity, began to lift off the ground and stuck to the sphere like a magnet, but could not be sucked inside. Lucius quickly approached before the monster could act against him and used his teleport spell, reinforced with mana zone, to move Antares along with his black hole.
Enraged, Antares began to emit purple energy all over its body, some hitting Lucius, but he endured it using immediate healing magic and took it to the sky with several consecutive teleports. Once at a safe height, Lucius moved away from the monster, which remained suspended in the air, stuck to the black hole.
Lucius turned his attention downwards and teleported back to Riveria, who was still inside the temple preparing her magic. Riveria watched, impressed with Lucius's skill and control over such complex and powerful magic, executing many different combinations.
She wanted to comment on this as he approached, but she was too focused on the next spell, "Riveria, I'm going to try something I've never done before, but I think it will work, and you will use a much more powerful spell," Lucius commented.
Riveria didn't respond, but nodded. Lucius pressed his back and began to activate his mana zone. This time, his focus was different. Instead of manipulating energy to create an offensive or defensive spell, he sought to absorb the magical energy naturally present in the atmosphere and channel it to Riveria as a conductor, strengthening her.
Magical particles were once again attracted to him, and he felt the energy flow through his body like a magical current emanating from the nature around. With delicacy and precision, Lucius began to direct this energy towards Riveria. It was a process that required balance and control, as transferring magical energy excessively or improperly could be dangerous.
As the energy flowed from Lucius to Riveria, she felt a wave of warmth and vigor coursing through her body. Her magical strength was growing with each moment she received more energy from Lucius. 'This is incredible, I've never felt so strong...' She couldn't help but murmur internally.
Positioning herself firmly, she raised her staff, her gaze fixed on the starry sky above, where Antares was still trapped by Lucius's gravitational force. With Lucius's energy flowing through her, Riveria began to chant her magical song, this time with renewed intensity and strength.
"...By the light of the stars, by the fire of the sun,
May this spell reach its final goal, my name is Elf!"
Riveria pointed her staff towards the sky, releasing a torrent of magical energy that shot towards Antares, far more powerful than the last. The light emanating from the staff was so intense that it illuminated the entire temple, reflecting off the walls and ceiling, creating a spectacle of vibrant colors.
Riveria's magic, strengthened by Lucius's energy and her own power, formed a luminous beam that stretched up to the sky, seeking to reach Antares trapped in the air. The light, upon hitting the monster, enveloped it in a bright sphere, shining like the light of a shooting star, illuminating the entire region with resplendent splendor.
Inside the sphere of light, Antares roared and writhed, but Riveria's magic was relentless. The divine energy the monster had absorbed began to dissipate, shattered by the vibrations of Riveria's magic. The light was so powerful that it seemed to reverse the corruption and darkness in Antares, dissolving it into particles of light that spread across the night sky.
The monster's body began to disintegrate with the reinforced magic of a level 6 mage, disappearing completely as the sky returned to its usual darkness.
"Hahahahaha! It looks like we did it." Lucius couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes!" Riveria smiled, neither of them seemed very tired; it was a rather easy fight with their combined strength. Riveria didn't hesitate to express her joy, turning to Lucius to give a kiss to her boyfriend.
"Well, let's go back, we have to deal with that stubborn goddess," Lucius said after the kiss, and Riveria nodded. Lucius never had anything against Artemis, well, until that day, he saw only a foolish goddess, who could put everyone in danger because of her ego.
