Chapter 589 Primordial
Nial had heard and read enough about Primordials to know what they looked like and what their unique powers were.
Visualizing the being that emerged from the golden swirl made it clear that a Primordial had emerged on Jundra even though that didn't make any sense.
Primordials were usually Gods and not existences that could emerge on Jundra yet. Nial was pretty sure that something was going entirely wrong, but he didn't have the time to think about it.
Being in control of the Supreme Power of Spatial control, the Spectran who was several kilometers away from the battle between Bella and Sabrina moved his arm slowly.
A golden spear materialized in an instant and it was shot toward the two women.
Nial could roughly guess that the Primordial was only able to stay and be on Jundra by suppressing his power to the bare minimum, but that could hardly be considered good news because he was pretty sure that the Primordial was on the side of their enemy. And that was bad news!
His raging dark energy allowed him to act in an instant. He exerted the Grasp of Eclipse technique and emerged behind Sabrina, whom he pushed aside a mere moment before the golden spear would hit her square in the chest.
The golden spear covered a distance of several kilometers in an instant, giving Nial no leeway to evade the attack after he pushed his sister aside. It pierced through his abdomen, removing every bit of skin, muscles, and flesh that came in contact with the spear that was not even five centimeters wide.
Despite being small in size, the damage caused by the spear was tremendous. The darkness shrouding Nial could barely cut down the size of the golden spear, decreasing the damage caused by it to a certain extent. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶
Nonetheless, after taking the hit, Nial coughed up blood while his abdomen turned into a fountain of blood. He was trying to focus his dark energy on stopping the severe bleeding but that was far from easy.
His dark energy was raging and it wanted to devour the Angel's Saintess right at this instance instead of healing him first. Nial forced his dark energy under control and filled the gap in his abdomen with it, forcefully stopping the bleeding.
He would heal fast due to his Fairies' Blessing and the evolved version of the Symbol of Life, but that didn't mean he was not restricted by the sudden injury he had sustained. Furthermore, it was not as if the battle was already concluded.
His intervention in the battle attracted some attention toward him, including the attention of the Spectran, who didn't expect someone to be fast enough to come to the human's rescue.
"You little idiot…" Nial grumbled as he visualized the expression on his sister's face. She was confused, hurt, and utterly shocked. Her eyes were wide open and they got teary at the pained expression that was unveiled below the darkness shroud not too long after. The darkness shroud dispersed slowly as he channelized it to stop the bleeding in his abdomen. Once that was done, he could fight properly, without any restrictions once again!
"Brother…" Sabrina bawled all of a sudden and fat drops of tears started to trickle down her cheeks. Nial was baffled as well but he couldn't help but smile weirdly, forcing the pain that spread through his entire upper body to disperse.
"Now you call me brother, huh?" Nial responded, "Acting that emotionally all of a sudden won't have an effect on me. After all, we're in the middle of a battle!"
Nial didn't feel like scolding Sabrina right now, though he felt that there was no time to cry right now or chitchat either.
There was also no time for Nial to say, 'You should have gone to visit dad instead. He went through a lot when you weren't there.'. Nial felt like saying that just for the sake of his father, but he held back.
He was still under the influence of the rampaging dark energy that began to cover his entire body once again. He reached out for Sabrina's arm and shrouded her in a thin membrane of dark energy that was further amplified by crimson moonlight, the Essence of Darkness and Chaos.
"Now you can fight again!" He just said as Sabrina looked down at her body was covered in black with silver and red lines mixed within. She shot forward just a moment later, delivering a feisty attack on Bella, who had slowly pulled back as Nial and Sabrina were talking.
Bella Morningstar clearly recalled the siblings and Mathias, and she couldn't help but feel a sudden sting in her heart. Blocking Sabrina's attack was growing gradually more difficult, which got only worse now that she was covered in the darkness skin that enhanced her strength a little further and enveloped her like a shield.
At the same time, there was Nial who had yet to attack her. Bella clearly recalled the monstrosity Nial turned into when he lost control of his own body. That had yet to happen even though the darkness shrouding him was already lunging forward as if it was trying to reach and kill her.
The only advantage she had was the reinforcement that had arrived all of a sudden. Bella didn't expect the Spectran to actually come over to er help. The Angels and the Spectran who had appeared were in an agreement due to a specific reason. That meant Bella was needed by the Spectran, preferably alive, and vice versa. The Spectran couldn't allow anyone to kill Bella now that they had finally met.
However, Sabrina was not someone to back off, and she was filled with anger due to the wound Nial had sustained. Her attacks pushed Bella back, just for Sabrina's feet to push her away from Bella's shoulders as if she was her launching pad. Sabrina used her entire strength and a considerable amount of mana to shoot toward the Spectran who had gotten closer to the battlefield to observe it more clearly.
"You ugly piece of metal, how dare you injure my brother!"
Nial frowned deeply when he heard what his sister shouted. It was nice that she was taking revenge for him…but against a Primordial, all by herself?
Rather than seeking revenge, it was much better to survive. Furthermore, he was not dead and didn't plan to die anytime soon.
Nial was just about to use his Grasp of Eclipse technique when the sky and everything around them were suddenly dyed golden. The entire battlefield turned golden as the space around him was cut off, preventing him from jumping straight into the shadows of others. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
The Grasp of Eclipse technique was still useful as it increased his movement speed to a high degree but things were still far from easy. Bella appeared in front of Nial, wielding a golden sword that had materialized in her hand all of a sudden.
"How about you fight me rather than wait for your sister's death?" Bella asked while the halo on her head began to glow even brighter than before. Her strength kept increasing, but that was the last thing Nial could be worried about.
He gave in to the desire of his dark energy when he realized that he might lose his sister just like they had lost their mother.
His sister was about to face a Primordial, all by herself, after all and he would rather die trying to kill him than stand idly!
