BXBX NOVEL Chapter 671 Cap 669: Athena's Quest Part 7
Pov Athena:
I was hiding inside a cloud with my companions, waiting for Angela and Michael to find in it Albus that is Gregory Roux, this while a battle was going on below between the Empire troops and the enemy troops of Gregory Roux.
When Angela identifies our target as the hooded person I attack with those who stayed while the others went to town to help against the giant creature we noticed too far away.
"< Speed of Light >" (I)
I cover my body with a glow belonging to the light element using an ability, this increases my speed far beyond my limits allowing me to get in front of the hooded person before he has a chance to react.
"< Assassin Cut >" (I)
Being this close to the enemy I use another skill as I grip my sword with reinforced firmness, my sword cuts his head off his body.
But the moment I turn to another enemy to continue attacking, a shiver runs through my body and I jump forward, but I still get knocked away.
"Good instincts for a weak Celestina, now die!" (Gregory Roux)
I look back and notice that thin tentacles come out of Gregory Roux\'s headless neck and towards his head.
Soon after reaching, the head floats back to its place on the body, it doesn\'t take long for the wounds to start healing.
But something was different, the body was taller and stronger, and the right arm had a large curved blade coming out of the forearm, but the left arm had disappeared leaving in its place five tentacles that had sharp points that resemble very different types of claws from various monsters.
His body was still distorting when 2 pairs of wings appeared on his back, but the strange thing was that each of the 4 wings were different as if they each belonged to a different monster, this formed a strange sight where the 2 pairs of wings did not match each other.
Soon I saw what hit me earlier, his tail was some kind of Serpent, in addition, I realized that his Aura was strange, it looked like several different Auras trying to occupy the same space, and this formed a pressure that is slowing me down.
"One Celestina, what is someone of the race enslaved by the Gods doing on this continent?" (Gregory Roux)
"< Quintuple Attack >" (Gregory Roux)
"< Palm of Purifying Light >" (I)
Gregorio Roux had almost all of his clothes being ripped to shreds, which is why I could see the various changes in his body, but what surprised me, even more, was the amount of scarring on his body.
These were old scars, as someone who has cut many people so far and been injured many times in the past, I can safely say that these scars were not made by monsters or during combat.
When he attacked me with his clawed tentacles back-to-back, I dodge using everything I\'ve learned in my training as I approach him, so I use another light element skill, but this one focuses on breaking curses.
I approached him while dodging his tentacles even though it was dangerous to test a theory, so as soon as I was close enough I used that palm swipe at his heart.
p
My attack sends a lot of light into his body, but it came at a cost, his Serpent tail bit my leg and his punch hit my ribs breaking two, but I took advantage of the force of the blow to step back and watch.
"< Healing Light >" (I)
As I healed, I watched him disappear for a second before appearing behind me, this was a shadow movement skill.
But before I attack him, a spear goes through his body making him spit blood, this was Angela\'s spear, which runs towards me.
I wave at her showing the enemies that are chasing her, then she turns to face them.
Gregory Roux didn\'t even scream for his wound, he rips the spear from his body which starts to heal, furthermore his body is releasing even more miasma than before.
"Did you think you could break this curse with a simple skill like that?" (Gregory Roux)
"I admit it would be just as difficult to defeat you as it would be to defeat Melissa, I didn\'t want to do it here, but I have no choice." (Gregory Roux)
"< Total Curse Release >" (Gregory Roux)
Gregory takes a purple crystal and says some words that make a strange magic circle form in his chest where the heart is, in addition, the purple crystal starts to glow.
"< Streams of Light >" (I)
My chains come out of a magic circle beneath him, but he smiles as if he finds my attempt to stop him funny, as soon as his whole body is immobilized by the currents of light, a purple glow floats out of the chains and through the chains until it hits his chest.
"Now nobody can do anything to stop me, hahahahaahhahahaha..." (Gregório Roux)
An inky dark Aura comes out of Gregory Roux\'s body, shattering the currents of light to pieces.
Soon his body twitches like a slime, which is pretty gross considering he has a body of flesh and bones.
Its four wings become 3 times bigger, so its tail becomes much thicker and the seed appears to be big enough to swallow a person.
Gregory\'s body completely changes to something more similar to a monster\'s body than a person\'s body.
His face changes a lot, his mouth warps opening to the bottom of his throat revealing a large number of sharp teeth, God two eyes melt along with the entire upper part of his face before revealing a large black eye, and dozens of horns grow from its head and run down its back.
The Aura that once looked like that of many people together, seems to have been devoured by this wild purple Aura that must have been caused by the curse.
"(Was he fully consumed?)" (I)
"Die!!!" (Gregory Roux)
His speed, strength, and reaction speed have become very different from before, this time I have to do my best to dodge his blows, but even so I\'m still getting grazed and accumulating wounds.
"< Armor of Light >" (I)
I dodge and take advantage of his great weight to kick a leg, grab his arm and throw him away, taking this opportunity to use my armor magic.
"< Purifying Liz\'s Darts >" (I)
When he runs towards me, instead of dodging as I\'ve been doing so far, I took the opportunity to cast a spell that I mixed with one of my abilities.
Several darts keep popping up with the amount of Mana I use on this spell, so a large number of darts at great speed rain down on Gregory Roux, but he seems to ignore it as he comes towards me, opening his grotesque mouth.
Then a bolt of miasma hits me, but I throw my sword at Darius as he is positioned behind Gregory Roux.
"< Scintillating Sword >" (Darius)
Darius\' sword lights up with the energy of the light element building up, he lowers his sword and cuts off the only arm he had.
But the arm grows back so fast that Gregory grabs Darius by the arm and slams him back and forth to the ground, I had to attack to knock him down to have a chance to save Darius.
"< Sword of Pursuing Light >" (I)
I use a spell that creates a sword of condensed light next to Gregory Roux at its most monstrous edge, this sword is stuck in the side of the body hit his organs.
"< Great Dart of Light >" (I)
I don\'t stop my attack, I create a big Dart of light magic, these Darts have a lot of speed and this Dart was very big.
"Die!!!" (Angela/Darius)
Soon a spear pierces Gregory in the back and a sword goes through Gregory\'s head, but the biggest problem will be the people around him.
It took me some time to, but I had managed to destroy the enemy, I just need to pull out what was left of this head to serve as proof of the conclusion of mine.
"I\'ll take the body, let\'s go now, we don\'t have to fight here anymore, we have better things to do in town...
"(I hope to arrive in time to help in the city... )" (I)
"Damn it!!!!" (I)
"< Shield of Light >" (I)
Suddenly the body I was trying to carry attacked me without a head.
"How is he still alive!!!!" (I)
I send this body I thought was dead flying with the sword still attached to his side that I used to make him miss.
"If you\'re going to keep coming back, then let\'s see how you recover if you don\'t have more body to heal." (I)
