Ervas quickly noticed that the hand he used to blast away the lion was now destroyed by the immense amount of magic power he used through it, the blast had the power to disintegrate most beings, his hand was blasted into pieces quite easily.

​​

"Gaia, Alraune," he said while evading the blazing blade of the Fire Spirt by moving to the left, as the blade slashed right at his side, with enough power to realistically slice him in half vertically.

Alraune appeared at the side of Noah, as Gaia quickly appeared with a bit of her body above his shoulder, she looked quite different now, as if she were a dryad covered in wood and plants, this was her new form after she underwent a similar ritual than Shade.

The two combined their healing magic alongside Ervas natural healing and his Aura of healing into his hand!

The hand began to grow back almost automatically, from the bone to the muscles to the skin!

However, the fire spirit was not going to let him heal leisurely!

"GROOOAN!"

Groaning furiously, the fire spirit rushed towards Ervas like a meteorite covered in flames, unleashing dozens of slashing attacks against him!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Ervas covered himself on barriers and evaded on time, however, his torso was almost sliced off, as a large wound emerged on his chest, with searing flames!

He quickly healed himself as he evaded the fire spirit once more.

"Grakgna! Boulder Blast!" said Ervas, summoning Grakgna, the Earth Dragon Ghost with an enormous appearance and might!

"Alright boss!" he roared, as he suddenly converted himself into the very spell, as a gigantic boulder crushed the Fire Spirit before it could try to slash away Ervas!

CRASH!

BOOM!

The boulder fell over the ground, as the fire spirit resisted a bit, but ultimately exploded and dissipated into mana!

Ervas glanced as everyone else was still fighting with the Spirits, although some had died, there were still a few left.

He quickly decided to have faith in them as he rushed towards Lucas, this time he was going to catch and kill him, and quite possibly eat his soul as well, as he had gone a bit enraged that he was resisting way too much for someone he planned to forgive.

At the end of the day, Lucas was one of the people that killed him in his previous life, so he didn't even care as much if he were to die now, it was a mere compassionate thought to forgive him, but if the man was going to resist so much, he might as well eat his soul before someone like Hekaton were to try to grab it away or something.

Ervas coated himself on his phantom aura, void form, void embodiment, and Psychokinesis, while also opening a portal to his Void World!

"Catch him!" he said, as he released Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and Shoggoth!

The three otherworldly spawns flew towards their target while releasing grotesque screeches, all of their squishy and slimy bodies throbbed and gibbered monstrously, charging their otherworldly, mind-destroying powers!

They seemed to be way faster at flying than him as they had the High-speed Flight Skill at a rather high level, so Ervas followed them from behind, without wanting to use Warp too much, as it needed around 40 Million Mana per use, and he wanted to save as much as he could, he had already wasted a large quantity to destroy the Light and Darkness Spirit with the powerful cannon of void and psychokinesis.

"SHOOOOOGGHHH!"

"BIBIBILILILLILILI!"

"OOBBBJJBJBJB!"

The four otherworldly beasts rushed towards Lucas at incredible speeds, as their very presence distorted space around them, making it even easier for them to travel through it.

Lucas was already getting very tired and realized that most of his Artificial Spirits had perished.

But he had indeed made it almost on time, he had run away a particularly large amount, and was having high hopes that he would be able to at least run away with Mason… he could hear from very far away from how Natalia fought Veronica and had already given up on saving her if he would have to risk his life and that of Mason for that…

He clenched his teeth as he reached the outskirts of the large forest, seeking the help of anyone around, but there was no one.

However, as he stepped a bit more, he suddenly felt like he hit an invisible wall.

Bump!

"Ugh…! Ah? What?!"

Lucas began to hit the air itself, as he realized that it felt like hitting a wall of glass.

He began to punch it, to kick it, and even began to use magic to hit it, but it was not moving…

"W-What… what is this?!"

Above him, there was a beautiful fairy woman, with a large, purple-colored butterfly and long silky hair. Her eyes gleamed eerily with crimson red light.

Although she was not participating directly in the fight, she was supporting the duo with the thing she was the best at the moment, Spatial Magic.

Indeed, this was Kireina herself.

Even before the fight started, she had arranged a large Spatial Dome, a different space isolated from the outside world. She managed to get it right just after Natalia, Mason, and Lucas entered the forest, trapping them there without them even realizing it.

She was putting all of her intent and power into the task, in fact, she had divided herself into four True Body Clones to maintain the giant Spatial Dome on place, even Lucas attacks could not do anything against her high-leveled Spatial Magic, which she had acquired after unlocking a fragment of divinity from her original body. The more she ranked up, the more of these divinity fragments she unlocked, and the stronger she grew with many more capabilities.

Although she wasn't the best at fighting to the contrary of popular belief. She was after all a clone of her original self, and could not match her on strength yet. Not even Ervas and Veronica yet, as they were way stronger than her.

However, she was able to help them with her vast amount of utility, techniques of all kinds using her strange spells, and knowledge and experiences accumulated through her other life in Genesis.

To become useful for them, she put all of her intent into the use of such abilities that were very rare on here, helping Ervas and Veronica as much as she could.

"Fufu, you won't be going anywhere…" she said.

Although she had already seen someone capable of ignoring her spatial dome, Hekaton, who had released a Familiar Spirit from the skies, which freely ignored her magic dome and hit Natalia just a few seconds ago… this was not something she could stop, sadly. But at the very least, it didn't disturb her spatial dome…

She put her faith in Ervas and Veronica and their allies, who were all quite strong.

However, out of nowhere, an explosion happens as she notices Natalia's soul bursting like a balloon!

"W-Wait… Veronica…! No… she's… fine. Oof. But what was that?! Did Hekaton actually… used the reincarnated souls as literal bombs?! Is he a terrorist or something? Is he going to say "Allahu Akbar" now?! This dude is nuts!" said Kireina, quickly informing Ervas about the soul bomb thing through Telepathy, but suddenly realizing that there was some sort of static effect that was blocking her telepathy… it was the electromagnetic forces coming from Mason's body.

Ervas quickly reached Lucas, glaring at him with his crimson eyes.

"This is the end of the road…" he said.
