Will of chaos-Chapter 1614: Cap 1612: Plague Avatar

When I looked around, I was in a building made entirely of metal with a technological appearance, but it was worn out as if it had been half melted. Everything around me was bizarre, it was as if I were in some kind of dream, none of the rules I know seem to fit this damn place.

Even that isolated planet where I found the Tree of the End wasn’t as strange as this, not to mention that in that place all the elements were colliding in a disorderly fashion, even so it seemed better than all this.

"This is crazy..." (me)

I was clearly on top of this building, but the piece of land where this building is located is on what appears to be a continent floating in space, there is a pink Sun standing next to us, even so I didn’t feel any change in temperature, the light emanating from the sun was also green and curved instead of following straight lines, creating a spectacle in the sky.

Looking around a little more, I noticed several holes in the universe, they weren’t spatial cracks, they were real holes in the universe that reveal ghost insects that devour the very space around them.

From the outside, I could see insect legs and claws writhing, showing that I was actually inside that creature, and those insect legs, as well as other things, were all parts of that creature fighting against Callidora.

I didn’t feel any Essence, natural energy or anything else, this place was so desolate that there wasn’t even the energy of Death, it was as if all of this was a great illusion, just an empty shell with no substance behind the facade.

The only thing present was a disgusting Aura, but it wasn’t like Callidora’s Aura, her Aura was the height of cruelty I had ever felt, this Aura was desolate, as if nothing else could exist while she remained.

This Aura was literally corroding everything in the surroundings as if I was inside a stomach digesting its meal, which could indeed be the case for all I knew.

This place was strange and all my instincts were ringing alarms in my head to get out of here, but I couldn’t go yet, I didn’t even know how to get out of here to begin with.

"(Let me spend a few minutes getting my mind straight.)" (me)

I was still surrounded by bones, but I could feel Callidora’s lingering Aura slowly being suppressed by this desolate Aura, it felt like it was infecting and corroding these bones, actually corroding wasn’t the right word for it, it was rotting everything it touched causing deterioration.

This was happening everywhere, it was really hard to define what I was feeling in this place, it was a level of danger where I wouldn’t be able to do anything but wait for my death if I was discovered.

I was always careful when doing anything, I liked to have as much information as possible, which at the moment I had none.

I sat down and organized the information Callidora gave me, it wasn’t much, the crucial points of the information were few, what made everything confusing were 2 pieces of information, the first was a map to reach the objective and the second was a magic to seal something using Anomalous Power.

Other than those two things, there was only information about what I came to do, steal a Core from this creature. It seems that it has 18 Cores, 6 that are in its hands, 8 that are its eyes and the last 4 are spread out in the spider-like part of the lower part of its body. What I’m looking for is a specific Core that is in one of its arms.

Callidora doesn’t detail what’s special about this Core compared to the others, but I don’t need to know. The information I had is limited to finding, identifying, collecting and then leaving this place.

The only part that really worries me was at the end of the information, it was about the dangers of this place. It seems I did the right thing by not leaving this bone spear first.

I need to surround my body with the power of reality or I will be quickly melted by this bastard, even the power of reality is just a temporary defense, a defense that can fall at the slightest carelessness of my mind, I am not an expert in manipulating the power of reality.

"If only this damn Aura was the biggest problem." (me)

In addition to this Infectious Aura, there were also other holes like the enemy’s power flow suddenly flowing, this could seriously injure my Soul in the best case scenario and annihilate everything I am in the worst case scenario, considering that it is not even an attack.

There are also creatures here or more specifically, Avatars born, forged and trained by this thing, he was not a God, but his power surpassed the Universe itself by multiple folds, him having an Avatar, Herald or anything like that at his service was just a matter of wanting it.

As expected from a creature that seems to be the Incarnation of insects, their so-called Plague Avatars are instincts with the upper half of their bodies having humanoid features such as arms, face and so on.

The worst of them seems to be the creature that looks like an Arachne, its power is so great that it can defeat even the strongest Ascendants, I won’t go into any details, but at least it makes the situation quite clear.

"How do I get out of this damn place?" (me)

"There’s a door there, use your power of reality to see." (Tarzor)

"..." (me)

"Tarzor... you woke up..." (me)

"No, I was woken up, it was like being thrown into a volcano full of the power of the Essence of the fire element." (Tarzor)

"(Yes, Callidora woke us up by stepping on Tarzor’s consciousness and slapping my Soul, she pulled us out of the Star Path and into its shadow.)" (Freya)

"Freya! Are you okay? How do you feel? What happened to you? Where are Mavis and Kalistos?" (me)

"Focus on what’s in front of you and not on the past, focus on this." (Tarzor)

"(Tarzor is right, we don’t have time to waste questions now.)" (Freya)

"Alright, then let’s go." (me)

"Be careful, I can’t help you here without drawing attention, this thing eats universes and I feel certain similarities with what I was before I became what I am now." (Tarzor)

"I’ll keep that in mind." (me)

"I can regulate the power of reality in you, I’m better at it than you, but I can’t get out of your shadow, only as a last resort." (Tarzor)

"Thank you, it would be a problem to do something like that, I’m not very good with the power of Reality." (me)

I take a deep breath and with Tarzor helping, the power of reality circulates my entire body at once in very smooth paths, I also feel Freya creating a bridge that connects my energy flow with Tarzor, so I don’t need to resort to any kind of power from this place.

I start to walk outside, but as soon as I set foot outside I felt a crushing pressure that made all my most primitive instincts emerge, before I realized it I was already in my Dragon form.

This weight was caused by that Aura that when it touched me tried to invade my body from every corner, it was truly a horrible sensation.

This Aura was almost like a virus, wreaking havoc wherever it went. It infiltrates, deteriorates, corrupts, and destroys every living being it touches.

Moving forward, with each difficult step I make adjustments to the Power of Reality together with Tarzor. It became easier and easier to move my body. My wings can now lift me into the air using the fluctuations of the power of reality.

"< Magic of the Apocalypse: Demonic Heart >" (me)

I close my eyes and this magic flows like a heart beating with pure Demonic energy, increasing my perception of this energy. Thanks to this, I feel traces of Demonic energy in the surroundings. It was so little and scattered that I couldn’t find it until now, but with a thread to follow it became easier.

"< Anomalous Magic: Multi-Universal Movement >" (me)

The Anomalous Power envelops my body. I simply choose the direction using the traces of Demonic Power that I found to reach another universe. This creature’s body has several pieces of the universe trapped inside it, being digested. To change from one piece of the universe to another, I have to use the Anomalous Power or the Power of Reality. Using both together makes it even easier.

I feel a strong pull as I am carried away with endless landscapes passing through my vision all the time. I didn’t even have time to pay much attention before I felt something passing through twice in a row. I know it was the exit and entrance between the universes.

It didn’t take more than a few dozen minutes to reach where there was a high concentration of Demonic power. I thought I was close to my goal, but suddenly my instincts made me look in a specific direction where I saw something approaching me.

It looked like an Arachne, the lower part of its body was where a spider’s head should be, its entire body seemed to be made of crystal marked by silver metallic ornaments.

Each part of the body was separated from the rest, just floating in their respective positions, in place of joints there was a metal sphere, all its joints were like that, its entire body being made of crystal was something new to me.

"(So this is an Avatar of Plague... the strongest among them according to Callidora’s report, what luck...)" (me)
