Chapter 433: Ernesticia VS Abyss Rematch 1
Ernesticia was struggling, just some minutes ago she had sent Brutus to fight the threat of Rot, and then she saw him fall to both Rot and Ifrit's teamwork. As if that wasn't enough, Lucia died quickly after hopelessly, as if things could not get any worse, now she was being attacked by someone capable of controlling space like her, to not the same extent as masterfully as her, but powerful enough to be capable of disturbing her own magical powers. The distortion in space was severe, and if things continued like this, she would eventually be defeated by this being, this being of annoying nature that was constantly melding within the spatial layers. Because of this, she had all her hands full in fighting her, and was unable to support Brutus or Lucia.
Ernesticia felt a pain in her heart the moment she realized Brutus died at first, after all, she considered him her ally, someone she had spent years working with, the worst part was that he was so confident after transforming, but at the end he was ganged against and killed by the craftiness of Chaos' allies.
"Brutus… You idiot!" Muttered Ernesticia, her eyes lost some of their light as she felt rather sorrowful about what had happened, but she didn't had the time to even think about her fallen ally, as the entity within the spatial layers continued to harass her with powerful spatial waves which created shocks around the entirety of the space surrounding her. If it wasn't because Ernesticia was protecting herself within a Spatial Cube, she would had most likely been crushed by the powerful attacks.
She had been resisting this entire time against this mysteriously powerful foe, but it seemed that things were getting progressively harder for her as she continued moving forward, each time she had attempted to aid Brutus, she was attacked and was forced to defend against her enemy's blows.
CLAAAASH!
CLAAAASH!
CLAAAASH!
The transparent waves of spatial attacks continued to hit her spatial cube, as Ernesticia grew progressively more frustrated over the fight, wishing she wasn't fighting this being capable of manipulating space, a very strong… Abyss clone, well, it was Abyss!
Abyss was able to divide herself into several clones, but much like Chaos, she would end up losing stats if she did it too much, so she only divided herself into two more clones, the one dealing with the frog and the one in here! She was a being capable of controlling each clone with the same soul, so they were similar to extensions of her own body, the same soul and all.
And Abyss was relentlessly fighting against Ernesticia, the one that had overpowered her so easily back then… She felt ashamed of herself for not having enough power to counterattack her own, even when she had both space and time magic, she was incapable of fighting against Ernesticia's amazing spells.
But now that she had both cosmic energy and the experience of having practiced spacetime magic relentlessly for many months inside her divine realm, without even sleeping or stopping for a single second, Abyss felt more confident that she could at least stop her from meddling with everybody else's fights.
Abyss was sharp, despite her innocent nature, she had matured a lot, and she was intelligent as well, she easily realized Ernesticia was more of a support magician than an offensive one. Without her support in their previous fight where everything went badly, they wouldn't had been able to win so easily, she helped at disturbing their teamwork, she trapped them as well, and made their lives even harder, and with the use of the other fighters' power, they were almost all killed…
But not now! Abyss had been keeping everybody safe thanks to her support, she had even copied various of Ernesticia's spells which remained within her mind, and replicated them until mastering them, she was using the same tricks against her, the same medicine!
"Uuuggh…! Would you stop annoying me so much?! Lucia is about to get killed!!!" Cried Ernesticia, realizing how important she was as a support! Without her, the rest of her party was unsynchronized and unsupported, they were all separated and getting killed like lambs! And now she was a target as well… in all her mind, she never thought she would see such a thing happening to her.
And the one that was doing it was obviously HER!
Abyss had no point in hiding her appearance, the beautiful Shoggoth smiled devilishly while wearing a beautiful dress that wasn't like that of a Maid at all. She looked quite frightening with such a smile, and her eyes shone brightly devilishly!
"What's wrong? Are you having difficulties supporting your allies? It appears that they're not that good without you, huh?" Asked Abyss cockily, making Ernesticia roar in anger.
"Y-You! Youuuuuuu!!!" Ernesticia roared like a madwoman, as Abyss smiled and continued attacking her with simple transparent waves of space magic, disturbing her movements and locking her on place!
Ernesticia couldn't help but roar, as she forcefully started spending a lot of her divine energies, moving forward across the spatial layers and suddenly confronting Abyss!
"You bitch! We should had killed you! If it wasn't because of your dead master, we would had killed you long ago! H-How is it possible you were able to survive and even grow so strong now?!" Roared Ernesticia angrily, as Abyss simply heard her groans of stupidity and smiled maliciously.
"My master, Chaos, is not dead." She revealed to Ernesticia, as the Banshee's eyes opened wide in horror.
"W-Wha…?!" Asked Ernesticia in utter surprise, she suddenly attempted to quickly communicate this to Valen through telepathy, but her waves of psionic energy were blocked by Abyss aura!
"You're already trapped within my dimension. Did you not realize? Nothing can get out unless I authorize it." Said Abyss maliciously.
"Dimension?! What sort of stupid lie is that- Ah!" Ernesticia quickly realized Abyss wasn't lying, she was indeed… in a completely different place out of nowhere! This was indeed another dimension, but how come she came here without realizing it? she had just rushed towards Abyss just like Abyss wanted, and ended falling straight into her trap! Ernesticia felt embarrassed with herself, how could she fall so stupidly?
She quickly tried to break the dimensional walls forcefully, but the moment she touched the walls with her hand, she felt a suction effect and her hand was suddenly absorbed by an enormous black hole!
"GRYYYAAAAAHHH…!"
Ernesticia cried in agony as she pulled back her arm, finding her entire hand missing and even part of her arm until her elbow! She began to grit her teeth in horror as she bleed intensively. Even a magician goddess could regenerate an arm, but it would take her some time! She quickly patched the wound by using magic, but Abyss wasn't going to stare at her while she desperately tried to survive!
FLAAAASH!
Abyss moved at frightening speed, wielding her Spear, the powerful spear that Chaos had forged for her, Kosmos, and began to unleash a powerful set of attacks, each attack was like falling stars that began to fall towards Ernesticia at incredible speed. Abyss looked both terrifying and elegant while wielding her spear and attacking at such high speeds, Ernesticia was forced back fearfully, feeling as if she was about to die out of horror!
"No… no… NO!" Cried Ernesticia, desperately blocking the attacks using her spatial walls for defense, but the powerful Abyss was relentless, even a clone could put such enormous pressure on a support magician! She continued attacking for several seconds, pushing her further and further away!
"G-Guh…! Y-You bastards…!" Cried Ernesticia, hating Abyss deeply, she unleashed a ray of invisible spatial energy which Abyss barely managed to avoid, but that wasn't all, it came with a surprise!
TRUUUUUMMM…!
Ernesticia smiled evilly as Abyss eyes opened wide by seeing what was happening, an enormous black hole emerged right behind her! Abyss eyes opened wide, as she warped away in time! The black hole began to break through her dimensional walls, slowly shattering the dimension to free Ernesticia!
"D-Damn it, if she escapes I don't know if I will be able to catch her!" Muttered Abyss, as she unleashed a power of her own, closing the black hole altogether and then forcefully restoring the dimensional walls… but that was time lost, and Ernesticia used it for her advantage! She moved forward and attacked Abyss withs several rays of spatial energy, but Abyss had a trump card of her own.
"Time Freeze!" She roared unleashing time attribute spells!
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, the rays stopped in time!
"W-WHAT?! T-Time magic?! You have both space and time magic?!" Cried Ernesticia in surprise, as a specializer in only space magic, this was frighteningly surprising for her, Abyss was someone incredible and was able to use time magic as well!
"N-No… this can't be!" Cried Ernesticia, feeling utterly furious, she tried to hit Abyss with other sorts of attacks, but Abyss continued using Time Freeze and then moving away in time before the spell were to be dispelled and the attacks were to continue their course!
This was the first time that Ernesticia felt so much fear in many years, and the first time she ever fought such a powerful time magician, and Abyss had yet to use more than just one spell! Abyss' continued to evade her blows, as she finally found an opening and reached up to her with her spear, unleashing several consecutive attacks that illuminated the entire pocket dimension with bright starlight!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
