Chapter 1204: Cap 1202: The City What!?

Pov Lilian's: 

I was running around the building painting the walls with the blood of everyone I found, always aiming for their heads, Haku made it very clear that in the body of all the Apostles of Truth, the brain was the only real weakness for controlling the rest of the body. 

Everyone in this building was highly suspected of being Apostles of Truth or their associates, so we can't let any of them escape, they were all being killed regardless of anything else. 

During the killing I realized that some didn't die even after losing their heads, that's when I noticed that separating the head from the body wasn't the same as destroying the brain, thanks to this realization I changed the way I was killing them, with my speed and the low With the strength they possess it was easy to kill them before they were able to do anything like run away or scream. 

The simple fact of not finding anyone truly strong was bothering me, it was only when I felt the tremors of the fight on the floors below where Elsaris and Samira were that I felt more relieved. 

Over the next few minutes the tremors became more frequent and intense, the other enemies spread throughout the building already knew they were under attack making me run into more and more frequent ambushes, which I was grateful for as this only gathered my targets together making the attack quicker cleaning them. 

When I reached the top floor I found someone who should have been dead, he was the first one I killed when I entered, I had only cut off his head before continuing, it was only later that I realized I needed to destroy the brain. 

He had something in his hands, a button attached to a triangular box which he presses before throwing it into the air, I destroyed it with a dagger I threw, but during this time a sphere of pulsing flesh appeared in the man's hands with me only just noticing it at the time which he squeezed destroying the sphere of flesh into a bloody mess in his hands as a wave of bizarre Aura spreads out. 

Without waiting any longer I cut off the enemy's head in the shape of a cross, leaving 4 pieces of the head to fall to the ground while I check his hand, apart from pieces of flesh I didn't find anything strange, so I went to look at the device that I destroyed before, that's when I discovered it was just a beep, possibly a distraction to give him time to do that with the sphere of flesh. 

I looked around for any changes but didn't notice anything, so it must have been some kind of signal to call for help, implying that there may be more of them around the city hiding. 

"I'll get together with the others, maybe we can use this distress signal as bait and catch those who come this way." (I) 

With that I jump out the window going outside, as soon as I reached the ground I heard the explosion coming from the other side of the building and when I turned around I saw Samira crushing what looked like a Beast Man from the bird tribe with a Tiger head. 

------------- 

Pov Elsaris: 

Most of the enemies were easy to kill as only the two of us could move through the mist without having our senses obstructed, but that was only true for the majority, in the end, there were a few enemies, each of them a different aberration with two standing out from the level of strength he perceived them to have, these 2 were a monstrosity similar to a Beast Man from the bird tribe and a man whose body turned entirely into metal. 

"Sister!" (I) 

"I'm ready!" (Samira) 

"< Massacre Domain >" (me/Samira) 

Our powers collide, causing waves of Auras in all directions, confusing the enemies even more while dozens of platforms of our Auras mix around the environment while we use all our speed jumping between all the platforms at high speed with absolute precision, every time we attack we do this at the same time against the same enemy, coordinating us without needing to communicate with words, using only the interaction between our Auras to understand each other's greetings. 

Our attacks were very fast and without an exact order while the transformed enemies were being crushed without being able to do anything or that's what I thought until only the 2 strongest enemies were left. 

These 2 seemed to be waiting for something, but I soon understood, at first they were as lost as the others who are now dead, but now these 2 can follow us with their eyes. 

Without needing to talk to my sister, I make her attack one while I take the other, without knowing their capabilities I can't leave them together, so I take the enemy made of iron to place against while my sister with all the delicacy I know she possesses, kicked the winged monstrosity out through the wall leaving only a large hole through which it follows its enemy. 

Knowing that this enemy clearly has high physical resistance and considering that he possibly has some kind of regeneration, most of them had this as a standard of capabilities among the Apostles of Truth. 

"< Blood Magic: Corruption of Flames >" (I) 

My daggers become incandescent with heat as I begin to fight the enemy in front of me, he doesn't seem to have any other skills or magic but his defense is strong with me leaving only light scratches on his body which heal immediately, his speed is also very good to the point of equaling mine. 

I soon realized the reason for this speed, glowing purple runes on his legs and arms lit up with large amounts of Mana circulating around his limbs, but I just laugh as the seconds pass, then the seconds become minutes where we seem to be tied with him not being able to hit me and me not being able to do significant damage to him or that's what he was thinking. 

As time passes, his metallic body changes from a dark silver color to something more incandescent and reddish, he seems to have taken a while to realize this until the results are revealed on his body on the outside, it seems that his transformation ended his physical senses as a sensation of heat, touch or pain as you only noticed it now. 

His previously hard body began to become more malleable and soft with the metal of his body hot as if it were inside a blacksmith's furnace, thanks to this my attacks began to cause more damage, and taking advantage of this I focus my attacks on his head in the back until it passes through the eyes after the seventh blow. 

With his brain destroyed, his metallic body returns to normal, being made of flesh, but with this the flesh begins to boil and burn while the blood evaporates, making the air stink with its disgust. 

When I looked back I saw the other two looking at me, next to my sister the body crushed in several places of the abomination with wings from before. 

"Sorry for the delay, but his defense was strong." (I) 

"Okay, but we have a problem." (Lilian) 

------------- 

We were on top of the building where we had a clear view of the surroundings, Lilian explained about the last enemy she faced and what he did. 

After listening to Lilian's explanation I agreed with her assumption that the enemy using some kind of distress signal would be the most obvious and most likely to happen, which soon proved wrong with what we were seeing around us. 

The barrier shook with the blows that the thousands of creatures gave trying to destroy the barrier to enter, their eyes locked on us as if they could sense us where we were even with the barrier having the effect of hiding what was happening inside. 

These creatures were the Runic people of the city, but their bodies were slightly different, most of them just had redder skin along with sharper teeth and claws, the mana dancing around them being consumed to increase their strength. 

There were also a few hundred among them who had more changes like flesh tentacles with bone needles at the ends coming out of their backs or the structure of their bodies changing, adding monster parts to their bodies, all of these having larger bodies than the others. 

But the worst thing was seeing the image of the population, it was possible to see men and women, young and old, children being the ones who are bothering me the most. 

"That wasn't a distress signal..." (I) 

"I should have made them suffer more." (Samira) 

"It must have been some kind of activator, they did something to the city, probably before it even got here." (Lilian) 

Lilian seemed to speak calmly as if she wasn't being affected by what's around us, which would be true for me too if it weren't for the children that remind me of my childhood with my sister, but Lilian has eyes that clearly reveal her hatred for who made this. 

"They are numerous, but they are weak, the city has a complex structure due to the streets, alleys, houses, and shops, we can maneuver as we want while taking advantage of alleys and houses to funnel them into smaller spaces, preventing them from using their numbers to their advantage." (I) 

"But what..." (I) 

As I was thinking about how to take care of this situation, a massive multi-layered magic circle appeared in the sky appearing to contain the entire city beneath it, then energy cages appeared at the edges trapping the city inside while 3 magic circles appeared on top of us making my Vision becomes momentarily blurry before the surroundings change from a city full of monsters to a hill overlooking a city with a magic circle above. 

"< Activate >" 

The voice appears revealing that near us there was a Runic, this one having dozens of Runes lit all over his body and a purely magical Aura emanating a flow of Holy Power mixed with massive amounts of Mana going to the magic circle above the city that lights up in response overshadowing everything with its brilliance, but I'm sure I felt space shake around us for 1 single second. 

Just when the light disappears the city disappeared along with the magic circle and in its place was just a large crater revealing a creature's nightmare just below the city, the creature seems to be regenerating when the same Aura appears near us once again coming the man of the Runic people. 

"< Space Crush >" 

With these words a magic circle appears in front of the man's hand pointing at the regenerating worm, soon his body was ripped from the ground while crushed into a mass of shredded flesh. 

Sigh 

"Sorry for being rude in ignoring you, but I needed to take care of this sooner than planned." 

"I am Nirog, Demigod of Magic and son of the God of Magic Malakai, a pleasure to meet you three ladies." (Nirog) 

"The pleasure is ours, but if I can ask this in your hand..." (Samira) 

I look at his hand at my sister's comment, what was there was just a round glass bottle or that's what I initially thought before ignoring it, but as soon as I paid more attention to it coming from my sister, that's when I realized what was inside the bottle was a miniature city. 

When I realized this I started to detail the contours of the tiny city with what I remembered after days of walking around that city, so I looked between the crater and the bottle. 

"I didn't want to kill them, but I also couldn't let them loose, so I temporarily contained them throughout the city." (Nirog) 

"With that out of the way, we can talk a little if possible." (Nirog) 

I look at my sister and Lilian, they both nodded in agreement so I turned to see the answer to the supposed Demigod of Magic. 

"Sure, we'd love to talk to you." (I)
