Chapter 425: Lilith To The Rescue
Ifrit was being chased down by Lucia, but she was quickly stopped by Edward and his brand new magic! However, where could have Ifrit gone now? He was too weakened and was about to fall into the city just the same as Brutus did. However, in the last moment, somebody caught him.
"I got you…"
"L-Lilith…!"
Ifrit barely could keep himself awake, looking at the beautiful Succubus that caught him with her arms, he felt embarrassed of being carried like this, as if he were a woman, by a woman, of all things. But he couldn't help but smile as he saw her, it seems that he could always count on her, no matter what.
Lilith was a beautiful Succubus that had been summoned by Chaos at the same time as Ifrit, incidentally, both of the demons knew each other from Hell, and used to be childhood friends, after being separated for years, they ended reencountering with one another after being summoned at long last by a master, something that could only be said to be a crazy coincidence.
Naturally, Lilith cared a lot for Ifrit, but she had taken a few more seconds to reach the battlefield to support him, but it seemed that Ifrit was already done with Brutus, interestingly enough. Lilith had quickly caught Ifrit with her arms and flew away from the fights, taking out a red-colored tonic from her spatial storage.
"Drink it, quickly."
"Eh? This is…?"
"It is a potion made out of Master Chaos blood created by Edward's alchemy. It should help."
"M-Master's blood?"
"Just drink it!"
Lilith forced the stubborn Ifrit into drinking the blood potion, as he was forced to chug it almost completely, the taste was bloody and slightly bitter, metallic, and the flavor got stuck into his mouth and throat. Ifrit drank it all, nonetheless.
"Cough, ugh… This was disgusting- Ah…!" Ifrit quickly realized something was happening, his pain slowly reseeded, and some of his wounds were actually closing, the poison was even neutralized, although it would take a while for its complete effects, such as paralysis, to disappear with it.
"Master is naturally immune to diseases, poisons of all types, and most status ailments, and his regeneration abilities are insane, Edward figured out that making potions out of his blood could help us recover from poison…" Said Lilith.
"I-I see… I can move now. Ugh!" Muttered Ifrit.
"You clearly can't." Sighed Lilith, as she decided to put Ifrit inside her Divine Realm.
"W-Wait, not there again!" He cried.
"You've already helped more than enough, go rest, I'll finish off Brutus myself!" Said Lilith.
"Lilithhhhh!" Cried Ifrit in frustration, as he was thrown inside of Lilith's divine realm once more…
Lilith looked back behind her, as she was using illusion magic to hide her presence from her foes, however, she was not near as strong as an Assassin such as Lucia to be able to easily abuse such illusion powers, so she couldn't easily sneak behind enemies… And well, her priorities were others.
As long as those foes were within her grasp and could be realistically handled, she could still take them down with enough motivation to do it! Lilith looked down into the ground, flying across the mess that Gaia was forming, the enormous vines and trees growing from the ground were leaving the entire city into a disaster, but it wasn't as if Lilith cared for, there were barely any slaves in here, and everybody being wounded were all space pirates or people that were not from this planet, which Lilith had no sympathy for.
She flew down into Brutus, finding him half-dead in the floor, he was more than unconscious, almost in the brink of death. He was barely breathing and his soul was completely damaged, his entire body was not regenerating either, his wounds were rotting and the rest of his body was completely burned, roasted alive, even.
"…"
"There you are…" Said Lilith, ruthlessly looking down on him. She quickly landed over his body, as she pointed her hand into the Orc man's head, grasping his mind itself, and his soul. As a demoness, a Succubus, in fact, she was more than capable of devouring souls as well.
"Nngh…! Aaagh!" Brutus, however, woke up in the middle of Lilith's ritual to eat his soul, surprising her! Although he lacked a arm and his other arm could barely move, he struggled strongly, without being able to see her well as he lacked eyes and was only relying in the senses of his soul, which was very weakened already.
"Stop moving so much, you stupid gorilla!" Roared Lilith, forcefully pushing away Brutus soul out of his body!
"Uuuaaaggghh…!" Brutus cried in agony as his soul was taken out of his body, his divine soul could still fight, and it resembled a furious specter in flames, roaring angrily at Lilith, she quickly encapsulated it inside a bubble. For a moment, she thought that it would be better if she feed it to her Lord Chaos, but he was too far away from her now, and saving this soul would be dangerous if he tried to run away as well!
However, she suddenly realized that the soul of this powerful Orc could instantly help Ifrit, whose soul had been weakened after fighting him, so she quickly went inside her Divine Realm, finding Ifrit sitting over a bed while meditating, some minutes had passed inside her divine realm, almost half an hour by now, while in the outside world only a minute passed since she put him inside, this was the amazing time dilation of God's divine realms.
"Ifrit, eat this!" She said, jumping over Ifrit and interrupting his Qi meditation.
"W-What the…?! Oi! I am trying to calm down before entering the battle again!" Cried Ifrit.
"Just eat this, it's the soul of the idiot you beat, eat him up before he frees himself!" Said Lilith.
"A-Alright, I get it!" Said Ifrit, angered at the annoying overly concerned woman.
