Will of chaos-Chapter 1695: Cap 1693: A Traitor Part 2
Pov Silvia:
I was taking care of the Dragons, almost all of them were healed or almost healed, those still injured were mostly due to damage to their Souls.
"Thank you for taking care of them." (Myu)
"I’m only doing the right thing..." (me)
Before I knew it, I felt my body surrounded by my Father’s Divine power, then came the pull that I couldn’t resist.
"Where am I?" (me)
I looked around seeing stars moving in a disorderly manner in the sky, paths winding between the stars, I myself was standing on what seemed to be a shattered crystal road with its pieces floating close to each other, my Father’s Divine power was only faintly felt in the surroundings.
Then suddenly I felt a fluctuation and when I turned my eyes I saw him, an Ascendant, but something was wrong, he was lying on the ground half dead and the broken path below him was swallowing him using ethereal roots.
"Something doesn’t make sense, where did this Ascendant come from and why is he already in this state?" (me)
I tried to get closer to him, but besides his dying body on the verge of death, I didn’t see anything special about his injuries, it just looked like something went through his chest, but I have no idea what it could be.
The Ascendant in question had 3 wings, so it should be a Level 3 Ascendant, it shouldn’t be easy to kill one of them, but this one only has one injury, that was very strange, that’s because I could only think of two reasons for this, the first being that the enemy was able to attack by surprise, delivering a single deadly attack and the second being such a great difference in power that this Ascendant was unable to do anything other than die in the first blow.
Suddenly I feel another vibration and looking around I see dozens of Ascendants appearing, they all had 2 wings on their backs, they all have individually customized armor.
"None of them are hurt, I also don’t see anything abnormal other than the basics of the Ascendants, it shouldn’t be difficult to deal with them." (me)
"< Sacred Summon: World Whip >" (me)
My body partially transforms into a Dragon with scabs replacing my hands and feet, then shoots and horns grow while my wings open.
In my hands a large vine appears as if it were alive, it grows on its own while a dense vital energy pulses through its fibers, the power of each element flows from me to the whip that becomes more and more delicate as it crystallizes.
"We didn’t come to fight!"
"Then why are you pointing your weapons at me?" (me)
I was calm and ready to attack at any second, but they didn’t come to attack, each of them was ready to attack and that was clear, but not all of them showed hostility towards me, they seemed to be waiting for orders, which helped me notice one among them whose wings were larger and whose Aura seemed to be connected to all of them.
I looked at him, quickly realizing that his presence was greater than the others, and on his back a fifth wing was beginning to grow, still closed slightly, clearly barely visible, even so he was stronger than those around him, which still meant little to me since I could deal with all of them.
"We’re looking for someone..."
"It doesn’t matter!" (me)
Without waiting a second longer, I advanced backwards, dodging an attack that appeared to cross the space, then swung my whip, grabbing the neck of the Ascendant who tried to sneak attack me.
"< Burn >" (me)
Using the fire element, the whip was covered in orange flames that melted the Armor on the Ascendant’s body almost instantly.
"Attack!!!"
"(Did you think I would fall for that?)" (me)
Before the other Ascendants could reach me, I pulled the whip even harder, cutting the Ascendant’s head off as his body fell to the ground.
"< Thorns >" (me)
I circled my whip around my body, pushing away all the Ascendants, which were repeated by many thorns growing all over the whip.
The thorns collided with the weapons, causing them all to fall back as they shattered in the process, new thorns growing to replace the broken ones.
I would give them no rest and engaged them in a full-scale battle, the path fragments in the area were pulled apart, suddenly becoming a large arena, but I didn’t realize it until the battle was over.

Pov Magnus:
"Where am I..." (me)
I was meditating on how to use a new power I thought of during this battle, since my new Father brought me freedom, my whole world changed, my definition of strength was no longer acceptable, I changed a lot, my personality changed, the way I see the world around me was too different for that definition of strength to be able to sustain.
But since I became what I am now, I have been trying to control my current power through hard training and discipline, but now that I have mastered this body and power, I have been getting more and more lost in the last few months about my definition of strength.
My old Father spoke about the strength of Dragons being their elements and as a Dragon of Light I let my element be the basis of my strength it was something basic and the depth came little by little from my understanding that now I see to have been superficial.
Now I see that Zenos’ definition of strength comes from Will, his level is very high and he seems to have an almost instinctive clarity about it, but this helped me see other possibilities besides elemental powers.
After training hard and all these battles, this time I felt an inspiration, I felt like I had found the clue about my definition of strength and my Dragon heart beat like never before, it was like pieces falling into place in my heart and so I went to meditate to organize these thoughts into something coherent for my understanding.
Suddenly I felt my Father’s Divine power surrounding my body and space sucking my body inwards, I knew something must have happened and I let myself be pulled, but as soon as I opened my eyes again I was in this place that looks like a half-broken copy of my father’s Star Path.
"So I have to take care of you?" (me)
"I didn’t come here to fight, Dragon." (Ascendant)
"Strange way to show it." (me)
I was still sitting cross-legged, but I stand up as my body grows, my Dragon form looks like a mix with that of a giant because of my very Humanoid body, so I find myself looking down at the enemy in front of me.
It was an Ascendant, he had 2 pairs of large wings and 1 pair of wings half the size of the other two, he seemed calm, but in his hands there was what looked like a Soul writhing as he held his Ethereal form as if it were an object to be manipulated.
His eyes were very cold and his presence was strange, his presence was very bizarre as if it were pure malice, even so his expression was too calm, it was clear that this Ascendant was involved in Necromancy, he was not a good match for me, even so he was the one I had to face.
"(My father brought me here, so I have to finish him off.)" (me)
"I am here under strict orders and I would rather follow those orders than fight you, so I would appreciate it if we could talk instead of fighting." (Ascendant)
"I believe that would be impossible, but we can try." (me)
"I came here looking for someone, he stole something we want back, we didn’t come here to fight you and we didn’t come here with any intention other than that." (Ascendant)
"What would that person be like and what did he steal?" (me)
"(If he stole something so important, then it will only benefit us, but I wonder who that person would be...?)" (me)
"That’s the person... as for what was stolen, it’s not up for discussion." (Ascendant)
"(Luci... it seems like she did something good this time, I have to say this as my Father.)" (me)
"As I said before, it was impossible from the start, so stop talking and come." (me)
"From your reaction, you know the culprit, so there’s no point in this conversation anymore, if you’re not going to tell me on your own, then I just need to force you." (Ascending)
"< Holy Summon: Star Sword >" (me)

"< Phantom Law: Staff of Souls >" (Ascending)
With a strike of my fist the space beside me shatters as I pull out a healing sword; the blade seems to be a cutout of the starry sky itself.
As I wield my sword, my eyes gaze upon the Soul writhing in my hand as it becomes solid as if it were a piece of bone deformed into the shape of a staff with a Ghost face floating above in agony.
"This is going to be fun, you’re exactly the kind of person I don’t like!" (me)
My power circulates through my body, but I’m slightly wary, I don’t know my opponent and an Ascending with such strange power is worrying.
Meanwhile, as if sensing the fight that is about to begin, the broken pieces of path around me are quickly coming together to form an arena around us.
Soon we both stepped forward at the same time to face each other.
