Chapter 345 - Withering
Chapter 345 - Withering
"What is this!?" Shamile finally felt fear. She had not felt fear even when facing Camlia just now. But facing Kana as she was now, she felt fear all the way to the very depths of her very soul.
Kana had a thick black fog covering her body. And with every step, the ground under her feet would wither away and die. This energy was, in turn, sent back to her, making her stronger. Kana's mind was completely void of any thought except one thing. To kill the woman in front of her. This woman killed one of her babies, and she will kill this woman to bury her alongside her child, who did not even have a chance at life yet. Although Kana was able to heal her wounds quickly due to her natural healing, this did not affect her womb where her babies were.
"Aoi… Naru… Don't let her escape…" Kana's cold chilling voice rang out. Alongside her seemingly affected by Kana's mental state, two figures appeared next to her overflowing with killing intent. At the same time, Kana released all the darklings her body could handle. Thousands of black slimy creatures appeared.
Shamile shivered. With so many darklings, she could feel her power quickly draining away. "Fuck! What the fuck is? She is like a fucking walking army! I have no choice."
Shamile waved her hand, causing a large magic circle to form in the air. Camlia saw this and yelled out: "You dare!?" She was about to shoot forward and attack Shamile to keep her from casting the spell, but before she could, a wave of death element passed right in front of her, withering everything it touched. "Stay out of it."
Camlia turned and looked into those cold eyes. She could see a hint of sadness in the very depths of Kana's eyes. Camlia backed away and flew over to where Creige was. Since her sister asked her to stay out of it, she will. She looked at Creige's hand that had been hit with withering and waved her hand, causing a white light to shoot out and wrap around his hand. "Sit still. Withering slows healing magic. It will take time to heal."
"Thank you… How does she have withering? It is not something a normal person can have." Creige was confused. He had never heard of anyone who was not an undead having withering. Their bodies would not be able to handle this kind of extreme death element. It was the pinnacle of the death element.
"I hate to say it, but your wife is on the verge of becoming the goddess of death. She is just missing one thing…" Camlia looked at Kana. Her eyes glowed with excitement. There was only one way to become a goddess of death. It was just that…
"Haha! You really think you can beat me!? Do you really think it is possible with your feeble powers to defeat me!? Camlia was your own hope, and you sent her away! Good! Now die!" Shamile waved her hand the magic circle that was now like a white sun in the sky sent out a beam light straight at Kana.
"Kana!" Aoi yelled out and flew in front of Kana, forming a water barrier a few meters thick.
"Aoi, you idiot!" Naru yelled out. He flew over to Aoi and pushed her aside, forming a wall of death element in front of him. The white ray of white light disintegrated the water barrier on contact and smashed into the wall of death element. "Damn it, how strong is she!?" Naru yelled out he was doing his best to hold on, but the beam of white light was penetrating the death element slowly.
"Naru, no!" Aoi wanted to reach out to Naru, but she found herself being pulled into her summon space. "Kana! No! Why!"
"It will be alright…" Kana said as she waved her hand, stopping the summoning process when Aoi was right in front of her. "I know what I need to do…" Kana's eyes show a hint of enlightenment. "Naru, come back…"
"Kana, if I do that, you will…" Before he could finish, Naru felt his body being pulled back. His wall of death element dispersed instantly. The beam of light shot forward and hit Kana on her right shoulder, severing her arm and part of her shoulder right off.
"Kana!" Creige yelled out. He wanted to go to Kana, but Camlia held him back. "Don't! It's about to happen!"
Camlia had an excited look on her face. It had been so long since a true death god was born. One who had full control over the death element. Kana's current form was only part of that. The two watched as Kana grabbed Naru and, to Aoi's horror, opened her mouth and dropped him in and, with a single gulp, swallowed him. "K-K-Kana! Why!?"
"Watch…" Kana said a single word as her death element suddenly exploded. Magic circles formed all around her, causing the whole world to shake. All the gods and goddess in the mortal realm and the realm of gods lifted their heads.
The world went completely silent. Even Shamile was shivering in fear when she saw what just happened. No matter how powerful a person was, there was one thing that they all feared. That was someone who has full control of the death element and could use its ultimate skill, withering. It was something that could kill even the most powerful of beings. It was the final stage of death. Shamile wanted nothing more than to run away. But she never expected Kana to have two elementals. Aoi was not an issue, but Naru was. He was able to divert her spell enough to only cause Kana to lose an arm. But instead of screaming out in pain, she stood there as her blood dripped to the ground and now it seemed she was rapidly healing.
"I am death, and death is me…" Kana's voice was soft, almost a whisper but this voice echoed across the entire world and through the realm of gods. The old men who stood at the top of the realm of gods all disappeared and reappeared in the skys of the mortal world.
"How many years has it been?" One old man asked.
"Too many. The tides will change. Whether it will be good or bad we can only wait and see…"
