YM778.TV Chapter 286: God Of The Eclipse - Enris
But against her expectations, she watched as an array of vibrant array of flames converged into one before the sounds of shackles breaking reverberated through the arena.
The aura surrounding them began to grow as Enris subconsciously took a step back.
"What the hell is that thing…" She muttered, watching a draconic beast manifest itself through Alice\'s flames.
A chimera of bestial auras of different Abyss Beasts and a swirling vortex filled with an insatiable hunger.
Unfurling its wings, the beast revealed an amalgamation of limbs hidden across its body as it glanced down at Alice and gave her a grin.
Widening her eyes, Enris immediately entered the offensive with giant spears erupting from the ground!
*BANG!!!
Colliding against an invisible force in the air, the beast let out a roar before opening its jaw.
Coiling around the spears, it shattered the weapons with ease and began to absorb them into its body. The sounds of metal being torn to shreds echoed out while Enris was silent.
But soon, a smile appeared on her face as a shrill laughter rang out.
"Alright! You are simply sublime girlie! What the hell is this thing?! Hahaha! Who knew Velouria was hiding this kind of monstrosity in a little girl!" Enris shouted out as her body began to crack and twist.
Black thorns and chains erupted from where she stood as a mass of red energy enveloped her body.
*BANG!!!
Breaking out of this cocoon of energy, Enris revealed her new form. Broken pieces of armour and tattered cloth could be seen around her body as her face was hidden by a black and red mask. Red cracks stretched across her entire body as chains, swords and spears could be seen protruding from her back.
Slamming her hand down, their surroundings changed in an instant. From the arena, they were transported to a realm of crimson.
Clouds stained with the colour of blood filled the sky while the edges of this realm descended into darkness.
In the centre of the sky, a single orb could be seen. The brilliant flames of the sun and the cold encompassing glow of the moon. As the two approached one another, darkness manifested across the surface, slowly creeping in until a single dark orb was created from the union of darkness and light.
A celestial body of void contrasted by a ring of absolute light.
Staying silent, Enris charged towards the draconic beast as countless limbs erupted from its body.
Reaching behind her, Enris yanked out a single blood soaked spear and tore the limbs apart! Twirling the spear around her hand, she created a boundary where none of the beast\'s attack could penetrate.
But before she could take another step closer, an array manifested around her. Towering violet flames erupted into the sky as a cage was formed. Countless variants of Void Flux – Cleave bore down on Enris but she didn\'t panic.
Stabbing her spear into the ground, a battlefield of broken weapons erupted around her, blocking the attacks. Beneath the beast, a single spearhead could be seen before bursting out from the ground, piercing into its body!
Black chains manifested from the shaft of the spear in an attempt to constrain the beast but after the last experience from the obnoxious golden chains that sealed it away, the beast was prepared.
A rib cage of broken bones burst forth, stabbing into the chain links and preventing the chains from tightening around it. From these bones, teeth began to manifest as it attempted to consume the chains!
Feeling that something was wrong, Enris flicked her finger and the chains disappeared.
"You can keep up? How surprising. I thought that the power of a six Sigil being would be enough of a challenge to keep you at bay but you keep giving me surprise after surprise.
"A beast that seeks to consume anything and everything. An owner who can mimic the abilities of the Apostles of the Abyss despite not having Velouria\'s blessing. What a duo." Enris praised as she tossed the spear aside.
"And thus, I grant you the privilege of witnessing the might of a God."
Jumping into the air, Enris looked down at both Alice and the beast before grinning behind her mask.
Truly, this girl has brought her too many surprises. It was only natural for her to return her kindness.
Aiming her hand towards the beast, Enris snapped her finger.
*BANG!!!
The space around the realm tore apart as a mass of malevolent energy rushed forth!
Through habit, Alice turned her gaze upwards in an attempt to understand what was about to attack them. However, as though her mind rejected the very existence and presence of this being, light was robbed from her eyes.
"ARG!!!" Letting out a cry of pain, Alice could feel blood dripping from her eyes as she hastily turned her gaze away and closed her eyes.
Following her cry, Alice could sense the beast being erased without a chance of letting out a shout of retaliation.
The manifestation of the being that shared her Spiritual Heart was killed in an instant!
Collapsing on her knee, Alice could feel a stabbing pain from the core of her body. A pain that refused to go away no matter what she tried. As though her very being was on the verge of being torn apart.
Thankfully, the pain soon disappeared as she panted heavily with sweat dripping from her head.
Focusing her mind, she could still feel the connection with her Spiritual Heart. The manifestation was destroyed but the beast was still there, simply injured from the encounter.
"Seems like the ritual you established was one that brought out its power and not the full being. But what a strange connection, I\'ve never seen something like this before."
Enris squatted in front of Alice and tapped her finger on Alice\'s head, healing her injuries.
Blinking her eyes in confusion, Alice glanced up and saw Enris\' amused smile.
"So that was the big secret huh? A beast that can consume anything used by the target and even try to take a piece of their soul. What a beauty ahaha~ I\'m more than satisfied with you girlie. Say, how about you join my cult instead? I can make you into a second God of the Eclipse if you want." Enris offered.
Pausing in shock, Alice stared at Enris in confusion.
"You\'re not joking are you?" Alice forced a smile as Enris shook her head.
"Nope. You seem like you could cause a lot of chaos if I make you into an Eclipse God like me. More chaos than what my Apostles are capable of causing." Enris grinned.
"So what do you say, want to join me?"
Without even thinking about this offer, Alice shook her head.
"Sorry. I will never join any of the three religions, I\'m staying with Velouria." Alice rejected as Enris let out a sigh of disappointment.
"Ah oh well~ Can\'t say I didn\'t try. But I think I\'ll end things here. You should take this time to prepare yourself." She laughed before standing up. Not everyone dared to reject the offer of a God but Alice did just that. Thankfully for Alice, Enris didn\'t mind.
Creating a portal back to her own domain, Enris glanced back and gave Alice one last look. An amused smile appeared on her face as she left.
Stepping through the portal, Enris was greeted by her two Apostles.
""Welcome back Master.""
"Mnm, let Kaden or Allura know that I\'ll be looking for Velouria." Enris nodded while the two Apostles looked at one another in surprise.
Understanding their Master\'s mood, they knew that Alice must\'ve proven herself to be interesting enough for her.
"Understood." War bowed before leaving the room.
Following behind Enris, Famine couldn\'t help but wonder what a three Sigil brat could show his Master for her to have this kind of reaction.
"Do you know what I desire the most in this world?" Enris suddenly spoke as Famine replied without hesitation.
"Chaos."
"Exactly. Chaos is exactly what I desire. Only through the chaos of everything will this world be stripped of falsehoods and lies. In the chaos where everyone is desperate for survival, no one will have time to worry about other things." Enris nodded with a satisfied smile.
"Ridding the Abyss of its Goddess would bring about chaos. Helping the Sun and Moon invade the Abyss would bring about chaos. But you know what would cause the greatest amount of chaos?" She asked rhetorically while looking up at the Eclipse that hung above her realm.
"Flipping the world order on its head! The moment when everything they\'ve taken as fact turns out to be nothing but sh*tty lies. Ahh~ The chaos that would sow~" Enris laughed while spreading out her arms.
"The little girlie is someone whose very existence goes against the laws of our world. The disgusting amalgamation of a soul, the properties of the beast sealed within and the way she can continuously grow, stealing pieces of souls to enhance herself.
"She even tried to take a piece of my soul! Hah! Who knew she would greed for so much but I like it! This is the kind of desire I long for in my perfect world. So I say let chaos take its hold. The original agreement was to deal with Velouria.
But what do you think the Sun and Moon would think if I was to turn my back on them instead? Turning it from a 3 vs 1 to a 2 vs 2?
"But that\'ll be too boring. Let\'s turn it into a free for all instead~ I\'ll help little girlie Alice feed the beast within, allow it to grow and when everyone\'s guard is down, allow it to burst forth with my blessings. I can\'t wait~" Enris narrowed her eyes as she revealed an insane grin.
With the death of a God as its signal, she\'ll bring about an age of chaos.
