Cap 1171: Army of bugs part 2
I wave for Navar to go first, then her Dragons as well as her, all in their Dragon forms launch their breath attacks which converge on the ritual circle in front of them condensing into the form of a Dragon that attacks the enemies, Zadiris is doing the same with your people.
"< Star Dragon Ritual: Star Dragon Incarnation >" (Navar)
"< Forest Dragon Ritual: Forest Dragon Incarnation >" (Zadiris)
Navar's attack turned into a Dragon that appears to be made from a cluster of stars, while Zadiris' attack created a Dragon that appears to be formed from countless trees intertwined with 4 pairs of wings made of leaves.
The two attacks carried a great amount of raw power and I couldn't imagine the enemy defending against something like that without paying a great price in blood.
The 2 big attacks that when colliding against the enemy should destroy a good part of them or if I'm lucky it can finish them all solving the problem.
Unfortunately, the two attacks weren't able to accept the target, as soon as it was about to hit, the attack went through them and collided against a large crystal.
"(Activate your magic now)" (Thalia)
"Everyone stand by! NOW!!!!!" (I)
"< Blood Bonding Ritual: Blood World Territory >"
I forge my connection with everyone by feeling my power flow into my Familiars and Children before adding to their power, then that power flows into the magic crystals we carry while I am controlling my blood to form a magic circle around us, the blood of my Family and Children is absorbed into the ritual, this all happens very quickly.
Soon my Aura and Authority are sucked into the ritual circle before starting to mix with the Aura and Authority of others causing the space to start to break down from where we are as it spreads out in all directions.
What emerged from behind the break in space was a world of red, white, and black everywhere, this world was our territory and it extended for a distance capable of containing a world, of course, this was only possible due to the great amount of power that had brought on these crystals as well as a world's lack of resistance to restricting the power of territories.
"(Use your Holy Power together with the Blessings of the Gods within you.)" (Thalia)
Not knowing what was going on I did that, it seemed like the Saint of Death's voice carried a sense of urgency, so I didn't hesitate to do as she said.
The others sensing what I was doing used the Holy Power in their bodies that leaks from me to them normally, all this holy power makes the manifestation of a world around us become more real manifesting even the smell of blood, sound of frightening whispers in the dark and sensations of chills on the skin.
I also drew on the power of the various Blessings that I always carry within my body that reacts by going to the dark purple heavens, the power of each Blessing creates a constellation in the sky that refers to the statue of the God from which it originated.
"NO!!!!!" Crack!!!!
The succession of events was very fast for less than 1 minute from the attacks of Navar and Zadiris to the image of the enemies disappearing leaving only a crystal in place, then the crystal absorbing the powers of the two powerful attacks until I activated this Territory Magic Ritual following instructions from the Saint of Death.
It was at that moment that a scream came from the crystal as a spiritual attack against everyone before the crystal in question shattered in a huge explosion causing a disturbance in space and revealing the enemies scattered much closer than we imagined, all starting their attacks.
Each of the more than 150 Fish-like Creatures lift their scales revealing large openings through which swarms and swarms of insects emerge, but this time they weren't the same monstrous insects as the last time, they were half humanoid.
These creatures were far from anything that prison could be considered a person, but the shape of their bodies still somewhat resembles that of a person.
They were creatures using shells as armor, they wore blades clearly made of bones and teeth, and they had wings on their backs ranging from fly wings to more beautiful things like butterfly wings.
They were in unnaturally synchronized order as they moved already in battle formation in a matter of seconds.
It was then that I felt the power of Aura and Authority of dozens of individuals clashing against me, but these rebellious powers trying to take for themselves the right of possession over this space I took, all were suppressed with a counterattack of Holy Power.
Furthermore, I noticed that the constellations in the sky that represent the power of my blessings were glowing brightly.
"Then I try to find out what happened." (I)
"Alice, you take care of the Ritual, the rest of you protect her." (I)
"< Eclipse Titan's Awakening >" (Sakura)
"< Blood Eclipse Rage >" (Orion)
"< Aura Relic: Blade of Two Worlds >" (Ragnar)
"< Aura Embodiment: Bladewielder of Two Worlds >" (Ragnar)
"< Multi Elemental Incarnation: Fairy of Cataclysm >" (Layla)
"< Rune of Transcendence: Incarnation of Endless Night >" (Nix)
"< Holy Summon: Hinata >" (Hinata)
"< Blood Eclipse Dragon Awakening: 95% >" (I)
"< Eclipse Summoning: Dragon Army >" (I) My Familiars and I exploded our power without holding back going into battle, Navar's group and Zadiris doing the same.
When the battle starts I notice something different and try to divide my attention in the fight to find out what this strange feeling could be.
The enemies look more like an army as they're fighting, but what stands out to me the most is the form they're taking.
"Damn it's too late..." (I)
"< Sacrifice Ritual: Curse of Mirror Bug Confinement >"
What was bothering me was the way the Insect soldiers were positioning themselves, it was the shape of a magic circle and it wasn't just them, the Aura streams that connect all of them was taking on the same magic circle shape.
Unfortunately, I realized it too late, the battle has just started and I've already fallen into a trap.
I didn't even have time to worry about the others when the space inside the circle was separated from the outside, then the living bodies of the Insect Soldiers that formed this magic circle started to deform into a shapeless heap of flesh gathering in mine front.
"< Sacred Field >" (I)
I wouldn't stand by and wait for the enemy to attack again, I use what's left of my holy power in a holy area spell with purifying effects along with my corrosion skill.
I wanted to at least break free from this prison but the progress was slow, unfortunately, I also noticed that the holy magic was doing no damage to the creature in the front flour, all damage seemed to be healed instantly and I felt part of my vitality being drawn from my body in the direction of this thing.
In a few seconds, the great mass of flesh contorts itself until it takes on an increasingly clear shape of me, it was a completely white copy of me in the form of a Dragon that attacks me at the moment its body is formed.
"< Elemental Incarnation: Fire >" (I)
I cover my body with fire as I continue my attacks, unfortunately, it keeps healing, I try to cut its belly but the wound heals, I tried to get a finger just to test and the finger grew back, I even tried to crush a part of the head and nothing seemed to change with the exception of more of my vitality being sucked out of my body by this wretched curse.
Nothing I do seems to do any real damage to the damn thing, and it seems like I'm the only one getting hurt in every encounter.
"Let's see if there's nothing left of you." (I)
"< Spatial Compression >" (I)
Two magic circles of the spatial element appear, one below and the other above the creature with my appearance, then with a movement of joining hands, the creature's body shrinks to 1/3 of its size.
Wasting no time I open my jaws and start tearing off chunks as fast as I can devouring this thing that tasted like soggy garbage with a hint of disgust.
I devoured this thing to the last bit of flesh, for a while I felt my vitality dropping, but with this thing inside my stomach, its body was being continuously corroded by both a Dragon's stomach acid and my Corrosion Skill.
It took me a while to no longer feel my vitality falling, so the prison breaks with me already receiving hundreds of ice spears in my direction as well as the space around me seems to freeze leaving my body immobile.
This was clearly a trap waiting for me when I got out of that cursed prison, but then I myself created a distortion in the space around me, deflecting all the ice spears' attacks and looking at my assailant.
