Chapter 1006: Kill The Saintess!
—–
“How did you get inside the Divine Barrier?!” Emilia was filled with disbelief as she felt Maria’s hands touch her tender white neck. “Get away from meeee!”
With a scream full of horror and panic, the Saintess released her Divine Powers. Maria was instantly forced to step back as a shockwave of pure Divine Azure Holy Water Aura erupted from Emilia, resembling a ring of pure blue radiance.
FLAAASH!
“Oh, not too shabby I see. So you do have some close combat protection too, huh? Your goddess must really love you.” Maria teased her. The phantasmal body she possessed swiftly reformed as if nothing, even as it was burning by the Holy Water. Her equipment was reducing the damage taken greatly. “You thought Holy Water would be of some effect against me? I might be a ghost and an undead, but I do have my equipment.”
“A ghost using equipment… What sort of ridiculous being are you?!” Emilia asked with a disgusted face. “How did you survive that attack?! I thought you died! …Just how?!”
“I died? I am much more than you imagine, Emilia. I am not just a tiny little ghost woman.” Laughed Maria. “I’ve long ago stopped being just that! {Poisonous Calamity Swarm Form}! {Army of Dread}!”
As Maria laughed, she spread out her entire body into a mass of purple sludge, poison spread everywhere, shaping into countless, monstrous bugs of all shapes and sizes, completely overwhelming the Saintess from left and right!
“Gyaaaggh! Disgusting! You’re so gross!”
She used her Divine Protection Aura to defend from the deadly poison, but her Divine Barrier grew weaker as Maria kept weakening it with her very body. At the same time, Emilia was constantly killing Maria’s Swarm Body, which kept multiplying into all matter of critters.
This was Maria’s {Poisonous Calamity Swarm Form}’s special power, by combining her Swarm and Poison Forms, she was able to activate the {Army of Dread} Ability, which transforms half her body into an endless army of Poison-made Insects that inherit 30% of her total stats.
And there were hundreds of them endlessly surging!
“Go away! You disgusting critters! Noooo!”
The Saintess kept weeping in horror as beams of azure spiraling water were released from her staff and her divine aura, blowing away the critters, only for more and more to come.
“It’s useless, Saintess. The moment I made up my mind, your death was inevitable.” Maria’s voice reverberated around Emilia, her entire body resembling an endless eldritch mass of pulsating purple sludge and crimson eyes, where the insects kept coming from endlessly.
“Who are you to say such things?! You’re nothing but a dead woman! A damned witch we executed because you were distracting our Hero of Light!” She cried. “If it wasn’t for you, I could have gotten closer to Jonathan! Uuggghhh!”
“Huh? What are you… Hahaha! HAHAHAHA!” Maria laughed. “So you knew about me! Now this is rich! Why is every dumb bitch from the Empire of Light so angry I conquered Jonathan’s heart? Can’t comprehend that I’m hotter and cooler than all of you lame ass bitches?! GET A LIFE, WHORE!”
Maria became increasingly angry it was always some stupid bullshit like this. Her entire monstrous body shapeshifted, as her two weapons descended towards Emilia. The Saintess shields defended her barely from a barrage of devastating attacks.
CLASH! CLASH! CRASH!
“You damn… You’re the whore hereeeee!” Emilia cried like a stupid little girl. Her shields beginning to weaken with every strike they tanked. “Stop it! You damn…! STOP IT, I SAY!”
“It’s always the same with you fools, you’ve grown too accustomed to a life of luxury. You know very well those Gods are not real Gods, right? It’s all a damned fabrication!” Maria roared. “While the rest of the world has been struggling to survive after their arrival, you all have been living your best lives, spoiled by those damned bastards. But that’s about to change now! And it will begin with your death, Saintess!”
Maria’s halberd and sword impacted Emilia’s divine shield one last time, at the same time as the rest of her body managed to destroy the Divine Domain surrounding her church. Her weapons hacked and slashed through the Saintess body, cutting one of her arms with the shoulder, and slicing her left leg.
SLAAASH!
“Gyyyaaarrrggh! AAAGGH!”
The Saintess had never felt in her entire life as much pain as now. It was something almost life changing, and well, naturally, life threatening. Her eyes were filled with despair as she saw Maria’s monstrous body creeping in towards her, tentacles and jaws open, ready to devour her whole.
“You’re nothing but a meal to me. Just die already.”
“Nooo! Goddess, please save me!”
Emilia cried like a spoiled brat even as she was dying of bleeding and missing two limbs. And to Maria’s surprise, the fool of a Goddess that choose her responded to her calling. The skies above broke open, as the clouds dissipated to reveal a ray of blue light descending towards Emilia’s dying body.
“What the…?!”
FLAAASH!
Maria was instantly blown away by the azure divinity that descended, completely fusing into Emilia’s dying body and transforming her completely. The woman rose into the skies, resembling the very embodiment of the Goddess of Water now.
Her hair turned into flowing azure light, resembling water itself. Her eyes shone like sapphires, her clothes resembled flowing waves of azure light, and her lost arm and legs were replaced by new ones, made of divine water essence.
Her staff transformed too, becoming a long and mighty blue trident, overflowing with divinity!
“I can’t believe you would dare go so far, you monster!” She roared. It wasn’t Emilia talking anymore. “You dare touch my little Saintess?!”
“Oh? Is that the Goddess herself? Not just a lame divine spirit I could eat in one bite?” Maria asked with excitement, her monstrous body quickly reforming together into a mass of countless insects and purple sludge. “What a surprise to see you here, Goddess of Water, daughter of Odin, Oceania! Probably the most golden spooned woman in this entire world!”
“Saintess of Death… If you wanted me to finish you off so badly, here I am…” The Goddess of Water fiercely roared, pointing her trident at Maria!
