NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1495: The Power Of The Girl Who Fought Against Her Fate
-----
"N-No….!"
Sathan screamed, as she swung her hands against Erika, Demonic Power of five different Archdemons fused together into a swirling mass of evil energies, clashing against Erika from above, below, left, and right, resembling giant demonic claws tearing through space.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
And yet, Erika kept her composure, intercepting her blows with her own dragon aura, her magic emerging rapidly, shaping into giant branches and trees, as it protected her from the attacks, even going as far as purifying Sathan's magic altogether.
"T-This is impossible…!"
Sathan could hardly believe what she was seeing as Erika started pushing through her magic and her attacks, her magic constantly emerging as trees and plants surged everywhere, taking the form of dragons attacking her from every angle.
Her fleshy dress attempted to fight back, while Sathan dropped powerful magic, explosions of elements clashing against one another reverberated everywhere, a chaotic battle quickly began, as both Sathan and Erika picked up the pace, unleashing immense spells and techniques of their own.
Explosions of demonic energy and darkness erupted, and dozens of draconic heads made of golden and green light surged, creating a blinding firework show for all to see.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Erika looked visually struggling, gritting her teeth, while Sathan screamed, constantly pushing herself even further, her body covered on wounds that wouldn't recover, and her domain unable to expand, Blake's own Domain was devouring it. Whatever plan she had before was now null, she was now forced to fight until the bitter end.
"DIE!"
Sathan screamed, her claws growing ten times as big as they merged with fleshy tentacles and tendrils from her "dress" amassing into a gigantic attack, slamming Erika down and making her crash into the floor, shattering it apart and spreading spiderweb-shaped cracks throughout it.
CRAAASH!
"Erika!"
Cattalina for a moment lost her composure, looking at her daughter on the floor, and as Sathan laughing, rushing down even as she was bleeding and looking like a complete and utter mess.
"Hahahah! It looks like the victor has been decided, little child! PERISH NOW!"
However, in that moment, as Erika looked at Sathan descending towards her, her eyes glowed brightly, and her dragon heart started beating faster and faster and faster…
BA DUM!
BA DUM!
BA DUM!
"{Yggdragon's Spiritual Dual Holy and Demonic Aura}"
FLAAASH!
Her sword, Terra, helped Erika stand back up, as she faced the demonic woman rushing towards her. Sathan's sharp claws and her power amassed into a single point within the palm of her left hand, manifesting as a massive spiraling, descending mass of demonic energy.
"A pathetic last attempt? Don't bother, you're dying NOW!"
"No…"
Erika furrowed her eyebrows furiously, holding Terrea tightly, as her Spirits infused their last energies into her weapon, and then, she swung the sword upwards.
"This is not an attempt, this is my soul and my heart! This is what you could not kill, Sathan!"
The girl screamed, and with her voice came the roar of a dragon, her sword rushed upwards, as she unleashed all of the accumulated power within.
A single ability that she had been holding on using this entire time!
"{Destructive Yggdragon's Cataclysm}!"
RUMBLE!
Her slash didn't slice through the air anymore, it blew through it, an explosion of pure energy erupted from Erika's swing, reaching Sathan, shattering her materialized demonic energy, and then engulfing her body into an endless sea of agony.
"W-What's this?! WHAT?! WHAAAAT?! AAAAAAGGGHHHHH! AAAAAHHHHHH!"
The woman screamed in horror, unable to believe what was happening to her, as she saw her entire body disintegrating, the horror of just seeing this making her scream without end, her body and soul twisting in endless pain.
Until everything was consumed with one massive explosion, the ground beneath and above trembling, as the surviving cultists watched in disbelief as their leader died…
BOOOMMM!!!
With her death, Erika smiled, sighing in relief as she dropped over the floor, rubble and flames surrounding her.
"Erika!"
Everyone ran towards her, while Erika sighed in relief, her revenge was finally over.
These negative emotions, this hatred she felt, it was finally…
Finally satiated.
It was now gone…
She was free from this, free from her past, free from her tragedy.
From now on, she could finally move forward.
And above all…
"Dad… I… I avenged you…"
Amidst the bright light of her attack, which descended as particles of spiritual energy, Erika could swear to have seen something, perhaps an hallucination due to her lack of Mana.
But she saw him, her father, smiling proudly at her.
"Please… rest in peace… your daughter… is all grown up…"
As she closed her eyes and fell asleep, a wave of healing light quickly healed her injuries, followed by several elixirs poured over her.
"Uuhh… I was trying to take a nap, you know?" Erika sighed.
"Dummy! We got scared!" Elizabth said. "Are you really ok?"
"I'm fine Eli, I'm fine…" Erika giggled. "I did it all on my own! I defeated her… on my own… I'm so happy…"
"Well done, I'm proud of you, Erika," Cattalina said, smiling. "And I'm sure that your father would be proud of you as well…"
"Indeed," Blake nodded. "Amazingly done, Erika. Sathan was no small fry either, she was as strong as Mammon, possibly."
"R-Really?!" Erika gasped, realizing just how far she had grown and progressed. "I fought and defeated a thing of that power level? On my own?!"
"Yeah, see? You've definitely grown. More than you could have ever imagined," Blake nodded, smiling. "You've now stepped into a whole new world. A world we'll walk together. Hold my hand."
Blake gave Erika his hand, as the girl nodded, holding it tightly and standing up. She didn't waste time, however, hugging him and kissing him, and Blake embraced her with a tight hug.
"I love you, Erika… I always did, and I'll always will."
"Blake… Sniff, you've always been so nice to me… I'm so lucky to have ever met you that day… I've never forgotten the first time we met… when we were children… since that day that… I guess it was like love at first sight for me. Heheh…"
"Heh, is that so? I'm flattered…"
