Chereads / Mariel: The Goddess of War / Chapter 13 - A mysterious necklace shines.

Chapter 13 - A mysterious necklace shines.

"Ice Storm!" Deric conjured a huge storm filled with countless ice crystals, attacking Dekiran and hitting many demons as well.

"Dark Mysterious rings!" Dekiran cast dark magic into 10 rings, charging at Deric.

Deric shoots several ice bullets of magic but there was an empty in those magic rings. It was like shooting to block the empty aether. Moreover, it creates a smog so that he could hardly see the target in front of Deric.

Boom!!!

The last ring hit Deric, causing him to suffer a slight injury in the middle of his chest.

"Heal and Shield!" Claudia cast a healing spell to heal Deric and immediately conjured up a protective magic shield for the two of them.

Dekiran immediately conjured a large black ball of dark magic which was about the size of a car wheel and slammed it squarely at Deric and Claudia.

Boom!!!!!

The protective magic shields were destroyed by a ball of black magic energy and instantly decayed, it made Deric and Claudia shocked.

"Isn't your ultimate protection magic shield still not enough for preventing us?" Deric sweated at what he found. Also, Claudia was speechless as well.

"Lol, so many years ago. I trained so hard in dark magic. Right now, I can tell you that I'm more powerful than I was last time. Today you will die along with your daughter!" Dekiran said and cast a black magic spell that resembled a large spear.

"Funny enough, huh? Ultimate Ice Spear!" Deric didn't hesitate and hurriedly cast his ultimate ice magic spear and prepared to fight as well.

"Take it!" A large black spear rushed in at speed to Deric.

"I won't give up so easily!" Deric slammed his ice spear against a large black spear.

Boom!!!!!!

A black magic spear and an ice magic spear crashed into each other, creating tremors and a cloud of smoke that spread throughout the area.

Suddenly in front of Dekiran, it appeared that Deric shot out of the smoke and slammed an ice ring squarely into Dekiran chest until he coughed up a big mouthful of black blood.

"You bastard!" Dekiran said as he countered with a black magic punch and hit Deric in the middle of the face as well.

Deric was injured, his nose was broken, and was bleeding non-stop but he continued using advanced ice magic to fight against Dekiran. As for Claudia, she keeps trying to cast magic to heal Deric non-stop too.

The two sides blasted their magic skills at each other without stopping. Other people gathered in parties to fight against hundreds of demons. The demons continued to invade the people.

On the other side, Kehal fought with Dekira until both were seriously injured and got wounds, but it is still difficult to decide who will be defeated.

"Why are you so strong?" Kehal could only wonder as Dekira was constantly being bombarded with the power of his sword and shield. Dekira's body was completely bruised but she didn't show any signs of collapsing.

"My whole life is for my brother; Dekiran only. Even if I must drag you to hell together, I will do it. To complete my brother's goal!" Dekira finished speaking and blasted dark magic power at Kehal, who used a large shield to continuously receive attacks.

"You are so stubborn!" Kehal rushed his Qi and magic power towards his large shield which constantly absorbed dark magic power until his own body accumulated injuries, but when the moment was right, the dark magic energy was immediately reflected to Dekira's body. Until her body staggered several meters away.

Ouch! Dekira coughed up blood non-stop. Her body was affected by her own dark magic which reflected into her body, causing her body to almost be torn apart and the blood to churn.

As for Kehal, his condition was equally serious. The dark magic caused the Qi within himself to resist so violently that he was almost unable to fight but at least his deciding to take a risk like this would seriously injure Dekira too.

Kehal tried to expel the dark magic from his body before Dekira could regain her magic power. When it was all expelled, he rushed his physical energy into his Great sword. Then he charged at Dekira, who had not yet recovered.

*The sound of the great sword piercing Dekira's body caused her to cry out in pain. *

"Ah!!!!!" Dekira's cry echoed throughout the area where they fought.

"Die!.... What!!! Kehal smiled triumphantly but when he looked up, he saw that Dekira's eyes were staring at himself with anger. Her fangs came from a mouth that continued to spit out blood and there was no sign of giving up at all.

*The sound of sharp claws slashing into Kehal's left ribcage caused blood to gush out without stopping. *

"You bastard!!!" Kehal cried out in pain. He quickly withdrew the sword from Dekira's body. Then he quickly took out some herbal medicine treatment to cover his own serious wound on his left ribcage.

"No matter what happens I'm going to drag you to hell with me!" Dekira recovered some of her strength and immediately prepared to use it to fight. By using her own palms to accelerate dark magic, closing the wound in the middle of her chest until it healed normally.

Return to Deric and Claudia's side. The people in the village became unable to fight against the demons which had more than them. They began to be cornered in and the Qi and magic power of each person began to deplete. 

Deric threw a large ball of Ice magic at Dekiran which caused Dekiran to stumble further. The situation seemed to be in its favor, but Claudia's healing magic ran out. It Made her body extremely tired to the point of not being able to move anywhere.

Claudia stood there panting with exhaustion from using up all her healing magic power that caused the body to be unable to move for a moment.

"I got you!" Dekiran took the time to quickly shoot the dark magic ball that had been charging for a while, aiming to Claudia.

"Claudia! Be careful!" Deric felt the danger and immediately abandoned the battle against Dekiran. He hurriedly rushed back and grabbed Claudia in his embrace and exposed his back to dark magic instead, without any magic armor protecting his body.

Boom!!!!!!!

"Ah!!!!" The cry of the pain of the Deric, who was hit by a dark magic ball into the middle of the back. Moreover, the situation is worse than before because it repeats an old wound in the middle of his back from many years ago. This made his body no longer in a condition to fight. The dark magic gradually caused the Qi in Deric's body to become unusable, along with causing pain all over the body until the blood vessels bulge all over the body, Deric was bleeding from his mouth non-stop. Claudia tried to use her healing powers as she can.

"Lol, old wounds have been repeated. My old friend, Deric." Dekiran slowly stood up and used his Qi to continue fighting.

As for other people, they were attacked and seriously injured but the demons were not killed all at once because Dekiran had ordered them to be dragged together in the middle of the battlefield where was in the center of all the villages.

The people who looked after the children and grandchildren in their homes were so despairing and they had to use teleportation crystals to warp themselves immediately to the center of the capital city.

Segal saw Claudia giving a signal to him and Mariel that they had to be in a hurry and warp like everyone else because they are unlikely to survive.

"Mariel, let's quickly teleport to the center of the capital city!" Segal said as he prepared to teleport them by using the teleportation crystals in his both hands began to emit a blue glow.

"No! I'll stay here and fight with dad and mom!" Mariel said with anger. She also picked up her sword and prepared to fight.

"Don't be stubborn, okay? Do you want to all die here together?" Segal shouted because his sister did not obey Claudia's command. He held Mariel's hand and prepared to teleport them to follow the other people to the capital city soon.

Dekiran charged his dark magic and slammed it into Deric and Claudia's bodies, seriously injuring them both and making them unable to fight.

"Father! Mother!" Mariel couldn't stand it anymore and prepared to rush the fire magic power to her own sword.

"Don't be silly! Hurry and warp now! The target is the center of..." Segal tightly gripped Mariel's wrist and sternly reprimanded. Then he turned to tell the teleportation crystals in his hand and prepared to order the crystals to teleport them to their destination.

"Sorry! Brother!" *Smash!!!* Mariel turned and punched Segal in his face until Segal's nose was bleeding and he stumbled back until he sat on the ground. As for the two teleportation crystals, they were dropped from Segal's hands.

(I have to apologize to Brother Segal. But I will never allow what happened to me in my previous life to happen again. If I am going to run away and let my parents die, I am going to fight to the death!) (Chai thinking)

"If you want me to escape to survive, my father and mother must die. I'd rather die here. If you're going, just go alone, no one will blame you." Mariel shouted with tears flowing down both cheeks, causing Segal to sit still and cover his nose with his hand to stop the nosebleed that was still flowing out. 

Mariel made her fire magic sword and immediately burst out of the door of the house. The target was Dekiran who was in front of Deric and Claudia, and this situation had almost no chance of winning for herself.

Segal looked at the teleportation crystals and his own sword, immediately remembering the promise he had made to Deric as well.

"Ok! I must fight, and I must protect Mariel too!" Segal picked up his sword and hurriedly followed out of the house.

"Alright, are you ready to die? If it were like before, we would probably be equal but this time I was stronger than before and was able to take you all down. I was almost exhausted from this fighting." Dekiran turned up his dark magic to the utmost and prepared to kill Deric and Claudia, who were no longer able to fight.

"Don't hurt my parents!" Mariel shouted as she charged up close and slammed the ultimate fire sword magic power at Dekiran from the side.

"Huh, you little kid! but your movement was still slow. So, this ultimate dark magic, you took it in place of your parents!" Dekiran hurriedly turned and slammed the highest level of dark magic power into Mariel's body before the fire sword magic barely reached him.

"Mariel!" Deric and Claudia shouted in shock.

Ouch!!!.... Mariel coughed up blood. The ultimate black magic power penetrated the girl's body, causing the sword to fall out of her hand. The Qi in her body was so agitated that she could hardly bear it any longer. The girl's body flew so far that it crashed to the ground and there was no more response from her.

"Mariel!" Segal shouted.

"You Bastard!!!" Segal went berserk and rushed forward, slamming the fire magic sword with all his power into the unsuspecting Dekiran's body.

"Ouch!!!" Dekiran couldn't think that there would be another person besides this girl. Even though he was directly injured by the fire sword's magic, it was only able to cause very little damage to him.

Dekiran's straight left punch with the power of dark magic slammed into Segal's right side of his head, causing the young man's body to fly with the force of the punch, causing him to faint in mid-air. 

Claudia tried to lift herself up to catch the body of the Segal who was floating near them. As for Deric, he tried to regain his Qi and strength but the severe wound on his back made him unable to use his full strength. It only gave him more pain.

Claudia tried to use her magic to stop the bleeding for Segal, who was in danger. As for Deric, he looked at Mariel with worried eyes and tried to boost his remaining Qi to get ready to fight again.

"Are you still going to force yourself to fight? Then I will kill all of you right now." Dekiran used all his remaining magic to prepare to kill everyone on the next move. The remaining demons were also preparing to kill all the people in the surrounding area too.

Mariel was lying there unconscious, blood continued to flow from her ears, nose, mouth, and her entire body was injured. Several bones in her chest were broken because of the dark magic that hit her. The breath gradually began to fade.

(Do I really must die? ...Is my life...really born and end this?

Dad...Mom...Segal... I....sorry....) (Chai's last thinking before his soul is dying)

****Sleep for a while, little girl. Let your body slowly recover. I'll take care of your body by myself****

A mysterious voice sounded into the ears of Mariel, who was nearly die. Suddenly, the old necklace hanging around Mariel's neck shone with a black light.

Wink!!!! The girl's eyes suddenly opened, and her body responded again.

 Dekiran is nearly finished accelerating his dark magic to the utmost level, prepared to kill Deric, Claudia, and Segal. As for the demons, they were also prepared to kill other people too.

Suddenly, a cruel aura appeared from behind Dekiran and it made him tremble.

"This feeling...why does it seem so strangely scary?" Dekiran said as he turned around and saw something that shocked him.

Deric and Claudia and the people and demons all turned to look in the same way.

In front of them was Mariel who woke up again, but this time, the blood-red twinkle in her eyes was embedded in savage all around her. It was like the eyes of a viper. Her long blue hair turned completely black and her two arms, starting from shoulders all the way down to her hands, were black like terrifying snake scales, along with her long, sharp, nails like demons.

A black aura radiated from Mariel's body non-stop. Unlike the young girl who was still just a novice swordman, but it was like a dark wizard with advanced Qi and magic power inside her.

"Die! You Must Die!!! Lol" Mariel smiled with a creepy laugh, then prepared to fight again with her full strength.

"Viper's eyes...like I've seen this somewhere before. Or...would it come from that necklace?" Dekiran suspected that the hanging necklace was the cause of the girl's change like this.

"Mariel, what happened?" Deric asked in confusion.

"My daughter." Claudia said and did not expect what she saw in front of her.

"Die! You Bastard!!!!" Mariel said as she charged at Dekiran without fear.

"Come to me! Kid!" Dekiran prepared to fight against Mariel who was coming in front of him.

Boom!!!!!!!!

Two dark magic powers collided with each other until dust spread all over the area, it made the people and demons stare eagerly at this battle.
