Chapter 52 Part 3) A New Threat?

Flying throw the air like a ballon caught in the wind as a young woman with blue skin and scales. Her body formed a perfect arch as she pierced through the snow that fell heavily to the ground.

Boom!

The young woman crashed into the ground, her eyes wide in surprise. But the smile on her face showed that she was not harmed at all. “Wonderful! Now, this is what I am talking about!”

Desaray was excited she finally could fight! The monsters here were not affected by her aura making the dungeon fun! She shook the snow off her body as she dashed forward, her dress made of ice fluttering as she did.

“GOOOM!” A massive ice golem let out a roar as it once more smashed down at Desaray. Its huge body shaking the very ground it walked on.

“You want to match strength? Then fine!” Desaray pulled her fist back and thrust it forward. The two fists, one small, the other two times the side of her body, collided with a loud explosion. A shock wave spread out, parting the heavy snow around them.

Boom!

“GOOOM!” the ice golem roared once more before swiping its other fist out at Desaray, trying to crush the bug that was bothering it. But to its shock, the small bug had actually stopped its other fist as well.

“Hahaha! That’s the way! Now my turn!” Desaray flung the two massive fists away and then spun around, kicking the one closest to her. The fist shattered and crumbled into a pile of rocks on the ground.

“GOOOOOOM!!!!!” The ice golem was angered beyond belief. A small bug had actually injured it! While Desaray did break its fist, this did not mean it would stay broken forever. The ice golem glowed, as did the icy rocks on the ground. The icy rocks began to shake before rising up into the air and forming back into a hand. They then connected back to the ice golem’s arm, making it seem as if it had not lost the hand in the first place.

“Interesting! How many times can you do that!?” Desaray cried out before charging forward once more. She had never had so much fun in a dungeon!

As Desaray was having the time of her life on the other side of the ocean, far from the current expansion of the alliance, the Demon Queen of Darkness expression was not so good. She was currently being forced to kneel. “Why!?”

In front of her was a man standing there looking down at her coldly. “You think too highly of yourself. A mere lower being trying to control this god?”

“I did no such thing!” The Demon Queen of Darkness had no idea how this happened. She had been searching for more power to help gain an advantage against the ice woman. She had stumbled upon this ancient tomb, and after battling her way through hoards of powerful undead, she had finally arrived at the main chamber where this casket sat. But how was she supposed to know that the being inside was actually not an undead? She had the Death try to take control of the body, only for the being inside to suddenly sit up and emit a suppressive aura that made both of them kneel on the ground.

“You did no such thing!?” The man’s gaze fell onto Death, eyes eyes glowing slightly.

“Ah!” Death let out a pained cry as her body suddenly lifted into the air and was thrown back, slamming into the nearby wall. Blood sprayed from her mouth as she lost consciousness.

“Death!” The Demon Queen of Darkness’s eyes showed a pained expression. A woman who should not care about others at all and see everyone as pawns in her path to take over the world actually showed emotion when it came to Death.

“Hahaha! Weak! How dare you even think of controlling this God!” the man let out a laugh as he turned his attention back to the Demon Queen of Darkness. He looked at the cloud of darkness that was beginning to pour out of her body and snorted. “You want to attack this God!? Good! I have not had a good fight in a long time!”

The Demon Queen of Darkness could hardly move under the man’s powerful aura. She could only stretch out her hand, guiding her darkness to surround the man before using all her strength and jumping into a strand of darkness that shot toward death.

“Hah!” The man yelled out, waving his hand and dispersing the cloud of darkness. But soon frowned when he saw that the two women had disappeared. “Escaped, hmm? I guess to be able to escape from this God means you have some power. It has been so long since I have woken. I, Erebus, have finally awakened from my slumber. The seal that Phoebus had placed on me has finally broken. I can once more reign supreme in this world.”

In another location many miles away from where Erebus was. The stream of darkness suddenly collapsed, and two figures fell out of it. “What was that!? What was that!? How could there be someone so strong!?” The Demon Queen of Darkness had never heard of any god-like figures on her world. And now she suddenly ran into a being that could easily suppress her? If she had not used up almost all her mana just now, she would have died. She was sure of it! “This world… Why are there so many variables!?”
