Will of chaos

Every one of my organs has turned to pulp, my bones are starting to show signs of cracking and my mind has almost blacked out several times while resisting the memories flowing into me.

“(Resist…)” (I)

Over time I learned certain tricks like letting memories flow beyond my mind with a meditation technique and a curse, I am using one of my eyes that is connected with my mind to accumulate all this negative memory transforming it into a curse, this eye It is already sealed so as not to let this cursed energy created by me escape.

“(Resist…)” (I)

The continuous degradation of my body was also treated in a certain way, I started to use my corrosion ability together with my armor made with the Aura Relic against the degradation of this cursed ocean, even so, I could only reduce the degradation in myself by buying time beforehand of my body being annihilated.

“(Resist…)” (I)

It is the negative emotions mixed with the curse that are the biggest problem, they are burning my Soul and because it is already a Curse directed at me I cannot seal it like I did with the negative memories in one of my eyes.

“(Resist…)” (I)

My Aura Relic is not being affected while my will is strong, but the few times my will has waned it has been enough to create cracks in my armor.

“(Resist…)” (I)

Other than that my Sacred Power is not recovering fast enough, I am continuously spending it in small amounts to keep the flow of curse being refined within me by the Starfire of my Authority, but if this continues like this I don’t know what will last less, whether it will be my body or my Sacred Power that will reach the limit first.

“(Resist…)” (I)

In my mind, only one word resonates infinitely, a mark of my will and a permanent reminder, all the other things I did following more my instinct than my thoughts for not being able to divert my concentration from refining this damned cursed energy that disappears from within of me so refined.

“(Resist…)” (I)

Pov Hades:

I enter the Communal Temple going to the statue of Master Zenos in the middle of the pool of blood, as soon as I arrived I could see the statue behind the Star Flames.

“They’re not here?” (I)

I came to check on my master’s Wives, but I don’t see any of the three and I’m sure they were all floating among the flames yesterday when I was here as well as the previous days.

“They are no longer in the flames, they are in the pool of blood.” (Alice)

I turn around seeing Alice approach and stop next to me pointing down, with that the Star Flames open like a curtain as well as the blood in the pool becomes transparent showing three women floating at the bottom.

“Their bodies and Souls became stronger, but they used a shortcut to do so, just as Zenos had to train to stabilize his state, they need to do the same.” (Alice)

“Shouldn’t they get out of there first?” (I)

“No, they will only be able to leave when they wake up.” (Alice) 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

So she is experiencing an imbalance just like Master Zenos, at least in their case it seems to be easier to resolve.

“Have you adapted to the power you received?” (I)

“Yes, even if I was unconscious, I am still linked to Zenos, his will guides me in manipulating his Authority.” (Alice)

“I still don’t control it completely, but I’m going to find Magnus to train with me.” (I)

“How is Lady Diana?” (I)

“I don’t know, her training is something given by her God.” (Alice)

Diana was the only one who chose to follow a different path, but as Champion of Fenrir, I don’t see a scenario where she will be left behind.

Pov Diana’s:

“RRRRROOOOAAAAAARRRR!!!!!” (I)

It’s been many days and weeks, it’s been a long time since I stopped counting the passage of time, all that exists for me in this place is the blood staining my claws and the flesh stuck in my teeth.

To begin my training I had to leave the Dungeon, I also abandoned my Humanoid form when I fully awakened the power of Fenrir.

The trials of the Silver Wolf known as the “100 days of hunting” by the Beastmen of the Wolf Tribe, a Sacred trial where the individual is in a state of hunting or being hunted for 100 days.

Normally we ask for Fenrir’s Blessings before entering a dangerous forest for 100 days, but for me the ordeal is different, the power of the Wolf God expanded a Sacred Territory around me under Fenrir’s control.

In this place, all there are Wolves of the same level of strength as me, there are no creatures weaker or stronger in terms of power, cruelty, and ferocity being the only constant along with hunger.

In this place every day the climate changes as does the environment, sometimes a dry desert where the ground is not firm and there are no places to hide, sometimes a mountain full of ice where you need control of your entire body to not lose your balance on slippery ice, sometimes a swamp where limbs can get stuck in the mud and sometimes a tricky forest where you can hide in various places.

In this kind of changeable place, the only creatures that exist are Wolves of all types, each filled with hunger and murderous intent, prepared to hunt or die.

For a wolf, hunger is the last wall, there are no emotions or thoughts during hunger, and there is no fear or hesitation in front of another creature during hunger, the hunt begins with hunger and only ends when there is no more hunger.

But in this place, hunger is eternal for me and for all the Wolves, a hell of eternal hunger.

In my wolf form, I ran between the rocks of this mountainous land, when two wolves appear from behind a large rock attacking from the side, I step on the head of the one that tried to bite my one of my paws crushing part of his head and I bite the neck of the another with all my strength destroying his neck.

At that moment I stop paying attention around just to confirm that there are no more enemies nearby before tearing the flesh off these two bodies to at least satisfy my hunger a little.

Eating their meat doesn’t fill my stomach, but it restores my energy, allows me to ignore sleep, and heals my wounds, but this takes into account the amount of meat I eat.

—————–

5 days later.

Today I was in the worst possible place, a swamp in the middle of a storm, to run in this place you have to be careful not to get stuck in the mud and the rain prevents this just as the noise of the storm drowns out the sound of the Wolves.

Even so, I continued walking carefully, trying to catch their scent, but the noise of the storm made it impossible to hear the surroundings as the water washed away any way of tracking them.

Those who fight alone will be difficult to do something like ambushes, but they are also stronger than those in groups.

While I was eating I felt the murderous intent and jumped onto a large rock, when I looked to where it was before I saw 3 Black Wolves with tails made of darkness looking at me, they were Shadow Wolves, they may appear to be 3 creatures when in fact they are the same individual that splits during hunting.

“< Breath and Biting Ice >” (I)

Since I made a contract with Yuki I acquired Affinity with the ice element, but I still preferred to continue focusing on the power I was already most proficient in rather than starting to learn a new power.

A mistake that I realized much later caused me to waste time practicing with ice, thanks to this naivety of the past I have few techniques using ice.

My attack wasn’t directed at them, it was at the ground, each ice blade that breaks releases a blast of cold freezing the surroundings into a sheet of ice with my Aura.

“< Ice Claws >” (I)

When I jump from the large rock I land on the ground making the ice below the 3 Wolves become ice claws trapping them in place, then I run towards them cutting the 3 heads together, when I undo the ice claws there is only a headless wolf body.

The truth is I’m mentally tired, this was by far the worst fight I’ve had so far, my reactions were slower and I was distracted, even though my body is fine and my mind is able to think normally, hunger is still influencing my emotions and my mind feel heavy more often due to not being able to stop for a single day.

Even so, I continue eating the two wolves from before continuing with the headless logo on the ground, in this world only the hunter survives.

After finishing this food, I go back to hunting, always paying attention to my surroundings, but at night, just as I have always done since I’ve been here, I look at the sky at night remembering the days we spent looking at the stars in the Blood Forest in our country hut.

“(I need to be stronger…)” (I)

As if to answer my question, the sky darkened with lightning falling very frequently to the point where it was almost an indiscriminate attack.
