Chapter 1248 Cap 1246: End of the Infernal Tests  

Every part of my body was in ruins, there was no muscle or flesh left, my bones were mere fragments connected by tenuous threads of red liquid energy flowing continuously between each bone fragment with the center of my body being a red crystal in the area. where my chest once was, the crystal that once shone brightly now flickered as if the light would soon go out.

My skull was shaped like fragments with only a black crystal in the shape of an eye inside emanating a horrifying energy, around the remains of what was once my body an illusory figure, my entire body emanating a pressure no less than what was weighing on top of me.

This time my mind and emotions are in order, I am no longer influenced by the curse around me, and the macabre memories of this cursed ocean are just endlessly devoured by my crystal eye to be sealed, the Holy power fully embodies my Aura Relic and Authority together with my will as one thing, a state that I was only able to reach when there was almost no body left to be destroyed by this place.

It's been a long time since I lost track of time, in my mind empty of everything other than the task at hand there was only one eternal word.

"(RESIST!!!)" (I)

Never give up, never back down, and never compromise before any will, only I decide where my feet step and only I decide what to do, even in destruction I will continue.

It was when suddenly the light filled the surroundings with pure darkness and someone appeared in my vision, a young girl wearing a suit that didn't match her figure, without thinking I grabbed that child by the neck, surprising her, her figure was tiny compared to my size, the illusory hand that was supposed to hold her neck wrapped her entire body inside my closed fist.

She had a surprised expression and otherwise, she didn't seem bothered until a mark appeared on her forehead, the mark of an Eclipse where part of the energy that forms my illusory body was being sucked to invade her body.

"Zenos, stop." (Callidora)

"No." (I)

A figure appeared in front of me, it was Callidora, when she appeared it was as if my consciousness woke up to realize that I was outside of that cursed ocean, the pressure no longer existed around me, nor was the endless cursed energy invading my body like before.

My mind was free to contemplate everything that had happened, all the pain and suffering I had gone through, as well as to know what was happening now.

My gaze is still seeing past Callidora, my eyes locked on the young girl in a suit whose horrified expression seemed to scream without making a sound.

Callidora still had her smug smile on her face, but other than talking to me she didn't do anything else.

"You are angry, so if you want, stay with her, but know that her words were spoken following my orders." (Callidora)

"I can break her Soul now and I have no reason to spare someone who said those things to me." (I) "Do what you want, but you could wait for her to heal her body first, all that's left of her vitality is a spark and I don't have the power to heal anything." (Callidora)

"..." (I)

The mark on the girl's forehead begins to grow red roots that spread across her body, her eyes turn red as her Aura breaks completely, I can feel that this was just a Soul in a body of pure energy, a thin line to her around emanating the same feeling that I feel from Callidora.

"I'll take her..." (I)

My illusory fist was enveloped in Starfire making the girl's body burn revealing a more adult appearance, the Eclipse mark slides down her forehead going to her back while the red lines like roots spread across her Soul, from the beginning there was no resistance and the line around his Soul simply withdrew.

"You call this punishment? She never had the desire to resist you, you're actually helping her that's why she didn't even try to resist, you fool." (Callidora)

"I will not torture her, her punishment will be to serve me eternally, her soul is only mine now." (I)

"Finish this work later, I'll pack it for the trip." (Callidora)

Callidora snapped her fingers making Alma shrink until she became a porcelain doll dressed in a suit, the doll's eyes still burned with Starfire and the Eclipse mark was on the back of the suit.

"Take it to continue later, we have other things to do." (Callidora)

"Heal him." (Callidora)

"< Demonic Magic: Evil Recovery >"

Suddenly a Demon appears on the ground next to me, a magic circle appears around me made of Demonic energy, a flow of Demonic power seems to be drawn here entering me, an Evil sensation and a strong murderous intent trying to cloud my mind, but compared to what I faced inside the damn ocean it was a joke.

Feeling my body recover my mind relaxed without caring about the evil effect of the magic on my mind, my field of vision becoming smaller as all my power vomited to normal within me while my bones were growing with the fragments connecting together, the flesh and muscles growing over the bones and new skin appearing over it all.

I used my hand that had just formed to pluck out the cursed crystal eye while my body was still shrinking, new eye organs appeared to replace the ones I lost, and when my body was complete I felt the Demonic energy feed the other energies within me, with the exception of my Holy Power.

My hair has also grown to waist-length, but I use threads that come out of my fingers to create simple outfits and tie my hair into a ponytail.

When I looked around the Demon that healed me was gone and the clothes I had just put on were different, now I was wearing more elaborate red and black clothes, in my hand the porcelain doll was still motionless, a soul sealed inside, I create a line and tie the doll to my waist.

"Did I need to change my clothes?" (I)

"These clothes look better, I don't want ugly clothes when my daughter is born." (Callidora) She snaps her fingers again and I find myself in a dark place once again, but this time I was able to make out the outline of things around me and when I realized they were trees around me, I looked up only to see a sky covered in pure darkness in all directions, they were clouds of dark purple miasma with red lightning coming out of the clouds.

In that sky only one area was clear as the eye of a hurricane, the place where the containing sphere that Callidora is using was absorbing parts of the miasma clouds.

"I'll take a few days for these last steps, so you can rest, I'll bring the door here, but don't try to open it." (Callidora)

"Where is Niryna?" (I)

"She's fine, I'm strengthening her Soul elsewhere using blank Soul fragments, I need her Soul to be strong to withstand the process." (Callidora)

"If something happens to her..." (I)

"Don't come with empty threats, I need it well to make you do your best for my goal." (Callidora)

"Now go rest, I prepared cupcakes and coffee." (Callidora)

"I guess I won't ask what these dumplings are made of." (I)

When I look to the side I see the gate I entered through standing in place, but I didn't even try to leave, I wouldn't even be able to find it at the gate, there was also a table with cupcakes and coffee surrounded by completely naked women of various races waving at me.

"Just relax for the next few days, I want you at your best." (Callidora)

"..." (I)

"What is it? Do you prefer men? I can take care of that." (Callidora)

Suddenly she snaps her fingers and the table shifts to be in my line of sight again, this time it was naked men flexing muscles at me, I almost threw up.

"Stop messing around." (I)

"Just have fun, I'll let you join if you want, think about it." (Callidora)

Callidora snaps her fingers making the naked women from before come back to stand next to the naked men as she walks up to them taking off their clothes, I can see the fear and excitement mixed in all of them as they look at her but I look away as I walk away to lie in a no made with my lines like in the past.

"(She knew she would never accept these damn jokes...)" (I)

I would never fall for her teasing games, I know that all she wants is to provoke, if she really wanted to seduce me I don't know if I would be able to resist, in this place her power is supreme and there are no limits that she wouldn't cross with a smile on your face.

"(I wonder how the others are doing, I'm away from my family for a long time this time, I hope they're doing well.)" (I)

We had a lot of enemies to take care of, I don't know how the Church of Light reacted after what I did that day on their Moon, not to mention that we still haven't finished with the Apostles of Truth or the Swarm they control.

"(My sisters must have taken care of everything, they must know what to do, I can only trust that everything must be fine.)" (I)
