Chapter 1021: The Witch Of Dreams' Resolve
Chapter 1021: The Witch Of Dreams' Resolve
-----
As a battle between titans underwent below, the Dream Domain of the Witch of Dreams, Cattalina, was growing constantly weaker, the power of the Demonic Aberrations which the people of the city had turned into was too much.
Their corrupted minds and souls could not be easily contained within the Domain, and some of them suddenly started moving. Not fully awake, but they started roaming, walking, and acting while being asleep!
"Dammit! Is this the extent of my abilities?"
Erika's mother gritted her teeth, her entire life she had specialized on the Elements of Dreams and Nightmares, the powers she was born with.
Always overwhelming and incredible, she often overpowered most foes, instantly making them fall asleep, she lived her life as a gifted witch with tremendous magical power and potential.
However, as of lately, she had been constantly pushing herself to her limits to protect and help her dear daughter, whom she had given for dead long ago.
Her husband not only accomplished the impossible by reviving their daughter, but died before she could even thank him, or apologize to him for having left him after what happened to them.
She blamed it all to him, incapable of seeing that she was also at fault for their breakup, and even more, incapable of seeing that the problem was right below her noses.
It was one of her sisters that ended cursing her daughter, causing an early death to Erika… She had given up on her, grieving her death, there was no way to revive the dead.
However, her husband was different, what she had thought was wicked back then, ended becoming the beacon for Erika to completely revive as a living being again.
She wasn't a monster or corrupted either, her mind, her soul, and her emotions, all remained pure, she grew up with her father only, barely having memories before her death, where she could barely talk.
Though, she still remembered her mother's face, and having heard her voice sometimes, it was because of this that little Erika wanted to meet her mother after so long.
Her father died of old age, doing his best to revive her, not as a puppet, not as a human, but as someone strong enough that no damned curse could ever harm her again.
A Spirit of Nature, and also a Dragon…
A match made in heaven only possible through the Alchemy he researched heavily, and the materials he sought after for years.
However, the deciding factor of Erika's complete revival was Blake, the boy she fell in love, and her boyfriend.
"Blake…"
She looked at Blake's form, a gigantic bat titan creature, and her daughter, a majestic dragon made of wood. Such sights were something that even in the fantastical world of Spiritias were ridiculous.
Yet was there any point in questioning them? their transformations were born from their Skills, Magic, and Spirits, and they have already done plenty of ridiculous things themselves.
Her daughter ate the Divine Heart of a Divine Dragon, an Ancient God. She already had talent draconic powers from having had her body remade using wyvern materials, which evolved as Blake feed her Dragon Blood Elixirs.
To obtain such a transformation, it seemed like the only natural result, as fantastical and ridiculous as it sounded.
And as for Blake, he possessed an endless arsenal of Familiars and the power of a "Vampire", part of his Class and "Physique", several concepts foreign to her that the boy had discovered.
He was quite literally a genius after all, obtaining these powers, they perhaps aligned with his Skills.
There were all kinds of crazy Skills in the world, Cattalina's own skills were also ridiculous and were once seen and something completely out of the world.
With Elizabeth, the powerful Saintess help, Blake and Erika had managed to corner the malevolent Archdemon to this extent.
However, would they be able to defat him before Cattalina's Dream Domain came undone?
"Ungh… For them, I have to do this for them…!" she gritted her teeth. "All of you… {Spirit Fusion}!"
She summoned her Dream Spirits, of all shapes and sizes, who quickly merged into her body, a flash of bright pink and dark purple light surged from her body.
FLAAASH!
A large pair of fairy-like purple and pink colored butterfly-like wings appeared behind her back, pink antennas on top of her forehead, and dark purple exoskeleton growing in her arms and legs, with sharp insectoid claws.
Most of her Spirits had the shape of either tools or insects that dwelled within dreams and nightmares, hence, whenever Cattalina unleashed her Spirit Fusion, she would merge with them and obtain a semi-insectoid appearance.
Some thought of her as hideous, others thought her appearance was like that of the Ancient Fairies that once lived in this continent.
Whatever was the case, after sharing the strength of all her Familiars at once, she gained enough power for her Dream Domain to expand rapidly around everywhere.
FLUOSH!
And with that, the power of her Dreams strengthened, the Demonic Aberrations trying to stand up and destroy their surroundings were less, but the pressure only increased more.
"Even with this, to keep down hundreds of thousands of souls…!" Cattalina muttered. "I need help! Can someone- Ah!"
Although all of Blake's party was fighting Mammon, not everyone was there. A group of powerful Spirits which Blake had left patrolling the area and taking care of the Demonic Aberrations quickly appeared amidst the building's rooftops.
Armies of Undead walled the advance of the insomniac Demonic Aberrations, clashing against them and pushing them back, cutting their limbs to temporarily keep them down. A little ghost girl commanding them.
"Don't let them get closer to where Mammon is!" she said.
At the same time, a giant mass of golden sands created a powerful sandstorm, pushing away the aberrations. Sometimes even taking the shape of several hands, grabbing them, and putting them down, all conjured by a young, brown-skinned boy.
"I won't let you pass."
The horrid creatures were also being stopped by swarms of insects emerging from the Domain of a half-insect lanky and tall man, wearing a plague doctor mask, the poison he spread through flasks and magic paralyzed and restrained the creatures too, delaying their advance.
"Don't worry, Lady Cattalina, my lord is quite considerate."
Cattalina felt relieved as she saw this scene.
"Right, Blake's Vampire Spirits!" she smiled. "There's hope… We just have to hold on some more, just some more…!" she looked at the distance, as Mammon continued fighting the titans, the entire ground of the city trembled.
