Will of chaos

Chapter 1246 Cap 1244: 2 Jewels

Pov Xagar: 

I made a choice that day with Fiona and I won't regret my decision, but now standing there watching dozens of people emerging from their cocoons much stronger than before, I can't help but feel like I'm falling behind even though I know my decision can take me further than them. 

"Regret about your decision?" (Fiona) 

"No, just a little frustrated about being left behind." (I) 

"Come on, we have to find Mister Hades now." (I) 

"Yes." (Fiona) 

Lord Hades was the one who helped me free my true self, he serves Lord Zenos who was fatally injured while protecting us from the Church of Light, no one tells us what happened that day, but it is obvious that something big happened while they rescued us. 

When we arrived at the Communal Temple we passed through the City of Eclipse which is the capital of this Kingdom, we have already been here a few times, but the number of different races here always surprises me. 

As soon as we entered the Communal Temple we felt the Aura of Lord Hades guiding us to the main Hall where the Statues of various Gods and Deities are consecrated, when we arrived at the Statue of Lord Zenos amidst the strange Fire that surrounds the statue, Lord Hades was standing there looking at us. 

"Sir, we have come as ordered." (I) 

"What do you need if we?" (Fiona) 

"I received a message that we are already moving towards war against an enemy, the participants are all volunteers, what do you 2 want to do?" (Hades) 

The people in this place are all strong, even the normal people in the city are more of my strength level before I turned into a Demon, I can't imagine how strong an enemy of theirs must be to force a war. 

"(I didn't come here to be protected, what I want is the power to fight for myself.)" (I) 

"I will fight!" (me/Fiona) 

I speak at the same time as Fiona and we exchange looks, I should have known she wouldn't back down from a fight, but unlike me, I'm not sure she understands the level of danger. 

"You made your decision, so I won't treat you badly, I know you were the only ones who chose Master Zenos to follow, but he won't be here in time for the war." (Hades) 

"I am a Servant, as such I can take part of Master Zenos' power and serve as a channel to transmit his power to another, something I normally do not do without his permission, but today I will make an exception due to lack of time and out of respect the willingness of both of you to fight alongside us." (Hades) 

Lord Hades turns to the statue of Zenos and kneels, lowering his head before standing up, extending both hands with palms up. 

Soon streams of blood come from the pool of blood beneath the flames forming two blood drop shaped jewels, then Starfire gathers around the two jewels before being absorbed into the jewels which begin to emanate a powerful Aura. 

"Get on your knees." (Hades) 

From our position it was possible to see some of the scales on Lord Hades' arms cracking as he turned towards us once again, it looked like he was making some effort to keep the two jewels floating in his hands, his eyes were shining as his Aura hit us covered while kneeling before him. 

"< In the name of Zenos, I grant you the Blessing of the Blood Eclipse! >" (I) 

"< In the name of Zenos I testify! >" (Alice/Karina) 

Suddenly I feel two presences behind me and Fiona, their voices were familiar, and thanks to this I recognize them as the two Saints of the Blood Eclipse, their Aura of one of them surrounds my body along with the Aura of Lord Hades and the other Saint must be doing the same with Fiona. 

Suddenly something resonates with the two Auras when an even greater presence brings a powerful Aura that invades my body, I instinctively wanted to resist, but something inside me screamed to accept and so I did. 

That's when I saw the jewels in the hands of Lord Hades float towards us, each jewel was coming towards one of us, the closer that jewel gets to me it makes my blood circulate faster through my body, and my vitality stirs as it moves point point I feel like I'm in a cooking cauldron and my heart beats faster and faster as if it were going to jump out of my body or explode. 

Ding! 

"Ghhuuu!!!" (I) 

"AAAAHHHHH!!!!" (Fiona) 

I heard the notification at the same time as I heard Fiona's scream before I felt a great tiredness wash over me as my vision was going black.

Pov Alice's: 

I just watched the two young people having their bodies covered in blood before turning into red statues, the Demon was kneeling with a tense face and the White Elf had a face of pain with her mouth open as if screaming in pain, they both had a red crystal jewel in the middle of her forehead. 

"They seem to be accepting of Zenos' power well." (I) 

"But it won't be a complete Awakening, since they aren't going through the true Awakening Ceremony." (Karina) 

"This Blessing is another grant of power, but it has a high price, the pain will only grow from now on, your Souls may not be able to bear it." (I) 

"They'll be fine, their will is stronger than the others, that's why I suggested doing this to them." (Hades) 

I look at Hades, his arms are shaking and his Aura is very weak, some of his scales are also cracked. 

"Are you well?" (I) 

"I'm fine, but it was harder than it should have been, it seems like most of the Holy Power is being violently sucked away." (Hades) 

"We know, he must be doing something again, but we don't know what." (Karina) 

"We shouldn't think about it anymore, we all have a lot to do, just leave these two here, Vanessa spends more time at the Communal Temple than all of us, she can take care of them and let us know when they wake up." (I) 

"(I have to finish learning that magic before the war.)" (I) 

----------------- 

Pov Hela's: 

I was sitting controlling my magic while creating a new Undead for my army, my Father doesn't like it, but it's still something useful if only using the Souls of enemies or monsters. 

I was creating an Undead using my own bones, but it was not like me, I covered its Skeleton in Spiritual Runes, and its Core was made using a curse that Lilith helped me prepare, the Soul I am using are fragments of the Souls that I stole it while we were on that planet Tarzor, the eyes are the 4 weapons made in the shape of big eyes in that tower by 4 Evil Gods. 

"It's over?" (Nicole) 

"Almost, just 2 steps left." (I) 

I take the Undead body and go to the floor of the city of death, following my request, Nix made a modification for me, in the last few days I created a lake of blood where I used a magic to collect the miasma of that city, as soon as I arrived at the lake of my own blood and threw the Skeleton's body into it. 

"< Death's Familiar: Cursed Refining >" (I) 

I use my Authority together with my Aura to create a large magic circle above the entire lake of blood, and then a Starfire mixed with blue flames burns the entire lake. 

"This will last 5 days before the body is ready for the last part." (I) 

"What did you want to show me?" (I) 

"Look this." (Nicole) 

Nicole followed me here to show me something, it must be important, but as soon as she created a holographic screen, what appeared in the image was just the image of this world. 

The image of the planet suddenly changed, the planet itself moved, and it was opening up like a creature that was previously curled up and now stretching its limbs. 

Its shape looks like that of one of the "sea animals" that I saw in the memories that my Father shared with me at my birth, if I'm not mistaken the name was Stingray, some type of fish from the oceans with large fins like wings and a flat body with a small tail at the back. 

But the planet has exactly that shape, inside it appears to be green crystal, the creature simply began to move out of the image range at an incredible speed as if it had disappeared. 

"I couldn't imagine that this world was a creature or maybe it was some kind of Golem?" (I) 

"Saint Yaramaki called her Familiar, a Divine Beast of Life." (Nicole) 

"This is colossal, to say the least, what happened to those outside the Dungeon?" (I) 

"Nothing, everyone is fine, but did you notice what I mean by showing this to you?" (Nicole) 

"Yes, but I won't do that anymore, after my studies a colossal type Undead would be beyond my current level and even then it would need living Sacrifices to function." (I) 

"We are going to war against an entire planet, I think there will be a lot of sacrifices." (Nicole) 

"Father may not care about the lives of his enemies, but he wouldn't sacrifice the planet itself, that would be the kind of sacrifice necessary." (I) 

"So what do we do? We can't rely on the Goddess Saint forever, we need something that can serve as transportation and still be a fortress." (Nicole) 

"It would be better to ask Lady Elizabeth or wait for Father to return." (I) 

"I don't think we have much of a choice." (Nicole) 

I took one last look at my work in progress before leaving, Nicole was already walking in front of me leaving while thinking about something else. 

"(I think I'll go check on Zaya, maybe she woke up.)" (I)
