A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

Helena looked at these demonic-looking winged entities, especially the hefty one that had appeared before and asked "Why should I move? I am not a dead soul. I only came here to look for a friend. I will return when I have seen her. I want to discuss something important with her."

Once Helena said this, the beings burst into raucous laughter that drew the attention of many people walking on that exceedingly wide road to where the massive thundercloud was.

Then the hefty one said to Helena with an hideous smile hung on it lip "Since you are here, you are already a dead soul. Now, move!" The bulky one ordered with a stern gaze in it eyes.

Helena nodded her head.

Then unexpectedly, she dashed away from their presence into the crowd to search for Sylla.

"Sylla!" She began to call out.

"Where are you?!" She screamed.

Helena's unexpected actions shocked the horned demonical beings who then shot towards her with whips that had outrageously hot fire begin to burn around them. The white-colored flames burning around the whips was so hot that if she got whipped, her body would instantly turn into ashes. And this meant that if she were truly a dead soul, her spirit will be completely destroyed and she won't have the chance to enter the reincarnation cycle.

Helena could perceive the terrifyingly hot temperature produced by the white flames and understood that she had to evade the long flaming whips, or she could get burned and be ravaged to her absolute death.

Then she began to move very fast in between the crowds to dodge the flaming whips that were sent at her to destroy her.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

These sounds rampantly rang out as the whips were sent towards her to destroy her.

However, due to her fast movement on the ground and her ability to easily enter between two people, she was able to dodge the whip attacks that were sent at her.

However, her actions had severe consequences. Not on her actually, but on the people around her who got struck by the spirit-annihilating flames burning brilliantly on the long whips.

Then seeing that her action was causing the total eradication of spirit beings around her, Helena decided to come out from the crowd and try to evade the attacks without letting the whips hit her.

Then she began to run at the highest speed that she could muster and began to fall out her friend's name.

"Sylla!" Helena shouted again.

"Sylla!" Helena shouted once again.

Then Helena had a thought abruptly surface in her mind that perhaps Sylla was not here where she was looking at, but at the front, since she had died quite a while ago.

Then she began to run towards the front in the South direction to look for Sylla's spirit and bring her back by holding her hands and repeating that same incantation which would then produce a powerful mystical force that would pull both of them out of the Deathrealm sphere.

As Helena began to dash towards the front to search for Sylla, the horned demonical beings who were after her to destroy her began to gather in massive numbers. Then with raging and furious auras beginning to pour out boundlessly from their bodies, they dashed at insane speeds using their large wings to where Helena had gotten to.

Seeing that she would have to put up a fight with these scary beings, Helena began to do something to know if she would be able to throw magical attacks in this realm. She really hoped so, or she could be truly doomed due to the massive numbers of the horned demonical beings shooting towards her with wrath interminably rippling off of their huge winged bodies.

And as she did that, she didn't stop running. She just continued to ran and tried using a protective spell to deflect the attacks of the fearsome beings flying towards her.

She however discovered to her shock that she couldn't discharge magical attacks in this realm. Then she felt that it was totally right for her not to be able to do so as this was another realm, not her world where Aetha energy was overabundant in quantity.

"What do I do now?" She asked herself as she began to frantically think of what next to do.

The feeling of powerlessness in this realm struck her really bad that she began to feel that she shouldn't have come here in the first place.

"No. I won't regret my action. I did it for my friend. If I was the one that died and came to this realm, I believe that she would do the same thing for me by also coming here to bring me out of this realm. So, I know it's a right thing to do." Helena said with an unbreakable resolve in her eyes.

However, the reality was right in front of her, that she was a powerless being in this place. And this feeling made her feel sad.

At this moment, the shocking numbers of winged demonical beings that gathered to chase after her and destroy her, had appeared by her side and then began to look at her with rage burning in their intimidating eyes, since she had suddenly appeared and scattered the smooth process of everything going on in this place.

The hefty one that spoke to her earlier said to her again with an angry tone in it voice.

"Dead soul, what did you really gain from doing all these that you did? Now, only total damnation awaits you. Kneel before me to have your spirit destroyed."

Helena's eyes shone with horror and anger from what the demonical being in front of her said.

Then she began to quickly think of what to do to escape her death in this place and bring back her friend.

As she was thinking hard of what to do, a thought suddenly came upon her that since she was the Chosen One and was someone born with the unparalleled phenomenal ability to control all the elements that can be found in the universe, and tap into the power of any fathomless realm that she may find herself in, suddenly understood that she was looking at the wrong energy or element that may be found in this place.

"Since this is a world for spirit, I should be thinking of how to draw in spiritual energy for my use. The energy that I should be thinking of harnessing and utilizing in this realmis spiritual energy, and not Aetha energy, since that can only be found in the universe"

Once her train of thoughts in this direction stopped, and since she had had now comprehended the type of power that she should be able to manifest in this place, suddenly had her eye glow with unyielding resoluteness.

Then in the next instant, following her comprehension of the type of power that she should be able to wield in this place to fight off these hideous evil beings that are bent on destroying her, suddenly had a gigantic energy-devouring maelstrom rapidly develop hundreds of feet above her head, which then strongly pulled a strange type of black energy that can only be found in this unbounded realm from around her and then from thousands of meters away, which then after a quick massive accumulation, shot down towards her as a continuous, massive beam of Chaos Spirit Energy.

Bathing in one of the special energy of this world, Helena's eyes began to glow, same with her body, which then transformed in the next instant into a strange, towering female spirit that had glowing horns grow out from both sides of her head, then enormous wings that had dark, grim-looking flames beginning to burn luminously around them, grow out from her back.

When this transformation abruptly took place, the bulky being that stood before Helena had it eyes glow with awe, before fear took over his mind, shaking it to the very core.

Helena who looked really huge in this form, about the size of a mountain, produced an indecipherable smile in her face. Then looking at the horned demonical being hovering in the air before her, who then in the next instant tried to quickly flee away from her in great terror because of her abrupt shocking transformation into a titan-like being, was suddenly grabbed by Helena's enormous hand which was suddenly tightly clenched into a fist, instantly crushing the being to death. She had easily squashed the being like a tiny bug.

At this moment, the other horned demonical beings had quickly retreated in fear and horror, when they saw how Helena easily destroyed their commander.

Now that there were no horned demonical beings to fight her now, Helena began to run to the front to search for Sylla. And as she did so, she shouted Sylla's name without stop.

And since she was extremely huge in size, her shout of Sylla's name could go far into the distance, causing the large crowd of people moving on that large road towards the place where lightning bolts constantly struck down from and produced earth-trembling thunderous rumbles, to turn their heads to see who was unbridledly shouting the name of someone in this place.

***

Sylla who had an extremely sad expression in her face, was already at the front and would be entering two hours from now into two counter-rotating, large golden rings called the Refinement Rings of True Reincarnating Fire, since they burned brightly with the colors of the rainbow and infinitely produced the power of reincarnation, suddenly heard the loud scream of her name from the far distance and then quickly turned her head to look at who was calling her. Besides, that voice felt so familiar that it instantly sparked happiness and delight in her. 

Then when she turned her head, she could see Helena who looked astonishingly towering in size at a really far distance and was dashing towards her at an insane speed.

Her eyes then shone with all the beautiful emotions one could think of.

But just when she would leave where she was to run towards Helena in happiness and excitement, numerous horned, one-winged beings that had mighty overbearing powers pouring out from their large bodies suddenly surfaced dozens of meters above her and looked down at her with great harshness in their eyes.

"Zelphiroth, take this one and throw her into those burning rings" One directly said with boundless wrath in it eyes as it looked down at Sylla who instantly had her happy face fell.
