Chapter 440: Amara (2)

There is silence between these two primordial beings


'So? What now? You want to kill him? Reap his soul? You know that is not allowed. Even you are bound by certain rules.'


'Really?' the man said his tone challenging. Death nodded and a glint of madness appears for one moment in his eyes.


'Is that so? I may not be able to take his life but that doesn't mean I didn't have the authority, to at least give him but a taste of my power. Let see' and the man close his eyes.


Then he opens his eyes and smiles. Then he said.


'I might not be able to take his life just yet, but….that doesn't mean I have to make his journey any easier than it should be. You want him to save you, Amara? It may be destined, but it doesn't mean I can't stall it.'


And he smiles mischievously


'Enjoy your days in captivity Amara.'


And then he disappeared turning into a black fog. There is something about his smile Amara didn't like. She immediately cast her divine sense.


Amara look far and wide, her sense enveloped the Sea of the whole world, her eyes looking, and she could see Arial on the deck of a large ship and she sees a teleported Giant Shark beneath Arial ship.


'Damn Death God!' She gritted her teeth. 


'So you think you're the only one who can do that?' Amara is the winner of the battle of the Gods. 


Those gods she defeated, their power and abilities is given to her. She summoned the clouds and the thunders and call upon one of her Divine Beast, the Thunder Eagle with one order. 


Save the Conqueror.


Finished doing this, she once again waited. She looks at her chains. One of them is burning in flames, the other one is emitting a chill of cold.


At her feet, lie a crackling shackle with arcs of electricity, and a mud like shackles, restricting her true power. 


It is only The Great Darkness that could force her into such a pathetic state.


The Chain of Ice and Fire, Shackles of Thunder and Earth is used against her so that she could not escape. 


Normal man could not see her strapped to the very tree that Nasrana plants. If not for the tree and her connection with it, she would not have been able to withstand such power.


On her hand are the chains; on her feet are the shackles. How the mighty have fallen she mused.


Then she hears the wing flapped. And she looked upwards and her face was fierce looking at the winged man.


There is hatred in Amara eyes, a cold fire. The man is standing in the air, in a safe distance from Amara, flapping his wing.


'Lady Amara. Will you tell me today where the Sword is?' 


'Astiel' Amara hissed.


'Why bother enduring the pain when you can tell me now?' Astiel said ignoring the venomous look Amara is giving him.


'HAHAHAHA' Amara laughed. 


Then she said with such venomous tone, her face morphed into a very hideous face and Astiel in the air backed away a little forgetting of the restrains the Goddess is bound to.


Her aura appeared, a red like aura enveloping herself and the winds near her is whipping violently. 


Thunder bolted out near Astiel while he dodges the lightning bolt. It was like nature itself is waging war against Astiel.


This is the power of Amara. If not for her constraint, the whole world will move according to her bidding.


Knowing that it will only tire her out she retracted back her powers and said.


'When I am free, Astiel, you will beg me to kill you yourself. I am a vengeful Goddess. You might think of me as nothing but a love goddess. Merciful and generous'


She smirked and there is a trace of madness in her eyes as she said


'But Love has many faces. One of them is crazy obsession, Astiel. Astiel, when the Conqueror came and release me from my chains, then you better run. You better run to the Otherworld, to the Multiverse, to any other pocket dimension, because if you don't, then you will face the wrath of a Goddess. The wrath of ME. And you will suffer for eons and eons. You will wish you have never been born of existence. Remember my word, Astiel Son of Dar Fir. I swear it on the name of the Supreme Being.'


And on the sky the thunder boomed like sealing the words.


'You…. you! You stubborn goddess. Your ages ended eons ago. Yet, you are still stubborn. The Great Darkness even wanted to recruit you, yet you refuse him. You do not know what is good for you.'


At this Amara sneered at Astiel, clearly repulsed by the idea working under that entity.


'Still I could not be killed, but you can. And I know what can kill you and where is that pulse of life you so desperately hides. Bad move, Astiel. Bad move. Separating the soul and the body?'


And she smiles cruelly. 


'Just wait. A soul, huh? Even you do not understand the enormity of one soul. A human trying to be truly immortal? You do not know the true price of immortality. You are meddling with powers you don't understand. Levitia has been lenient towards you, ages ago, only imprisoning you in that prison. Wait when I fo-'


'Arghh' Astiel yelled and he saidjosei


Faersteo Kar Laei Vadet Tredan Dewaor and a great pain courses through Amara body but Amara stands without flinching only golden sweats drop from her forehead.


And Astiel keep chanting while Amara endure the pain


'Tell me where the sword is and this will stop' Amara just smiles in pain saying nothing.


In her mind she just said.


Just you wait. When I am released you will know of my wrath.

ON THE VAST SEA


Arial is struggling with the thunder eagle. 


Dark clouds follow the thunder eagle. Sometimes the thunder strikes the Thunder Eagle, making it stronger.


Now Arial understand why the eagle is called Thunder Eagle. He read about them. It is the Divine beast of Amara, the Goddess of Love.


Arial struggle getting himself out from the claws of the Thunder Eagle. Even with all his strength he could not release himself from the iron grip of the eagle claws.


This is the power of the Thunder Eagle. 


If it was any other man, they must have fainted from the power emanating from the Thunder eagle and choked by the oppressive aura it emitted.


His hand is still on his glaive. He did not let it go when he was grabbed. He tries to stabbed it upwards trying to stab the Divine Beast but the Thunder Eagle is made of elements.


It did not get injured. But Arial could not just let himself be taken away without doing anything. Then he thinks of new ideas to release himself.


If I can't use it to the shark, I'll use it against you. 


The Blood Absorbing Heavenly Technique may uses blood but there is one way Arial could use it against the Thunder Eagle.
