Chapter 1017 - [The Fated Holy War] 5/?: Levana & Maeralya VS Venettia 2 ----- Venettia called upon the power of her children around her, the powerful and legendary Valkyrie, as all the strong warriors rushed towards her and merged with her body in a beautiful sight! Suddenly converting into her tattoos, the powerful Totems that Ova had created! These powerful Totems had the capacity of merging the complete strength of a creature and even beast-kins together through special tattoos that enhanced the body of the recipient. It even granted them amazing shapeshifting abilities that could fairly exceed their own strength and many more things! However, Venettia didn't transform into a beast but retained her petite and beautiful appearance, but her whole existence was boosted by the power of her children merging into her Totem tattoos, which shined with bright golden light! "If you want to die against me so badly, so be it!" roared Venettia. Like a flashing beam of light, Venettia reached her two sisters in an instant! She raised her shield and pushed it against Maeralya, while she pointed the sharp tip of her spear against Levana's head! However! "It won't be that easy!" Maeralya used her strength as her aura suddenly changed into that of an enormous lion, roaring aggressively as her strength was suddenly multiplied several times, her golden blade pushed against Venettia's shield, as her shield blocked the tip of her spear! CLASH! CLASH! Levana gritted her teeth as her crimson-red eyes flashed with bright light, as she conjured her magic! "Blood Judgement!" FLAAASH! Suddenly, a large divine magic circle emerged as from within a gigantic downpour of blood emerged, shaping itself as a sharp blade of exquisite decorations and details, the blade rushed towards Venettia and pierced her shoulder! SLAAAASH! "Unghh…!" Venettia used her powerful aura and wings to block most of the damage dealt, grabbing the blade and trying to send it away, however…! "This is something that grandmother taught me! Explode!" FLASH! "EH?!" Maeralya and Levana flew away as the blood blade shined with bright crimson light, a second after, it detonated into an explosion! BOOOOOMMM! Maeralya and Levana glanced at the explosion from above. "That was a nasty trick, I like it!" laughed Maeralya. "It's not over yet!" said Levana, as a sudden flash of light rushed towards them at an incredible speed, Venettia's body was filled with wounds that quickly began to close through her amazing healing divine techniques, her face growing with anger as her spear released several thrusts against them, shaping and materializing as 50-meter big spears made of light that rushed towards her two sisters at a ridiculous speed! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! Levana and Maeralya greeted such powerful lights with their own sharpened techniques, as Maeralya released the power of her divine aura, as a roaring lion emerged behind her, then a blazing tiger, and a darkness-covered panther! "RROOOAAR!" "GGRRAOOO!" "RRRAAOOO!" The three enormous felines combined their power and were infused into Maeralya's body through a similar method than Totems, although way less complicated, as her blade and entire body were boosted by the power of these creatures, her shield began bigger and blocked a dozen of these attacks, as her blade rushed and released several slashes of golden flames and dark shadows that consumed the other attacks! Meanwhile, Levana conjured her powerful divine aura of blood inherited from her vampiric heritage, as she began to conjure the powerful divine blood magic! Several magic circles emerged one after another in quick succession, as they conjured countless blood projectiles of powerful divine potency! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! Maeralya and Levan showcased a wondrous combination as Maeralya focused on defense with her overwhelming physical strength, vitality, and stamina, while Levana used her powerful magic to conjure long-ranged and devastating attacks of high-damage output! Venettia, however, saw this coming from a mile away, as she evaded as many projectiles as she could while continuing to release her spears of light! Several blood projectiles, however, managed to reach her as she used her powerful weapons to block them, making them explode in midair while shielding herself from the explosions with her divine shield! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! However, that was obviously not enough, as Maeralya and Levana rushed towards her and decided not to be even more offensive! "What?!" Venettia was surprised over their bold decision as she smiled maliciously and began to shower them with more attacks, her powerful divine spear easily reached them with their might as they continued to pierce the skies and heavens, Maeralya used her giant shield to defend herself and Levana, however, that was not enough, as Levana was forced to employ the power of her magic into a defensive demeanor, firing these powerful and divine blood projectiles towards Venettia's attacks, making both explode in midair continuously! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Meanwhile, Maeralya readied herself for the offensive while defending, as she infused the power of her divine energy and her newly created Path Jewels Abilities into her Giant Cat Beast Spirits, which were also a manifestation of her new Path Jewel Abilities, similarly to Levan's amazing new blood magic! The giant cats began to suddenly materialize as Maeralya infused powerful elements into them, and then made them rush directly towards Venettia! "Divine Beasts?! No… These things are way stronger! But they are not Totems either, nor other people transforming, these monsters are materializations of her own soul and divine aura?! How can she do that without even conjuring a divine technique nor using artifacts or totems?! This is…!" CLAASH! The three cats reached Venettia in an instant, as their roaring jaws released powerful elemental breath attacks, making her fall back in surprise as the cats continuously showered her with powerful magic and physical damage, no time to rest! "RRAAAA! Damned illusions!" roared Venettia, as she unleashed her power, coating herself with her aura and materializing it into a golden armor withs several arms, each one acquiring a spear, and using each spear to clash against the cats! The spears penetrated the cat's bodies several times, piercing their heads until they were splattered all over the place! As Maeralya's beasts died miserably one by one, the two sisters used these seconds to prepare, as Levana generated her own powerful army of blood! Several magic circles emerged as countless bat-shaped monsters emerged, all made of crimson red blood and phantom energies, rushing towards Venettia from the skies! Having finished massacring the cats, Venettia roared as she flew into the skies, her entire body covered in hard golden armor made her resemble a powerful paladin. Not even her beautiful face could be seen beneath her helmet, as her power continued to increase by wearing this armor alone! Her spear released countless attacks in mere seconds, spears made of golden light emerged, showering her sister's army of summons with the power of iridescent light, the creatures quickly began to disintegrate against it, as Venettia laughed at Levana's measly creatures, they were even more pathetic than Maeralya's summons! However, what she didn't know was that Levana's ability let her summon these creatures, and the more that were to die, the higher the stats of the newly summoned creatures would be, up to a maximum of 600% their original power! Using the pile of divine energy crystals she had accumulated after grinding inside the tower of babel with her siblings, Levana continued to summon these bats made of blood the size of skyscrapers, which Venettia was ruthlessly annihilating one by one with ease! However, after a few seconds, the monsters started to emerge stronger and stronger, making Venettia realize that the power of Levana let her battle a perfect battle of attrition! "Her summons keep getting stronger the more I kill them, while she seems fine summoning, I constantly grow more and more tired…! How cunning!" she said, as she began to infuse all of her soul into her own spear, and pointing it at Levana with all her power! Venettia quickly saw through Levana's intentions, as Maeralya, suddenly emerged behind her to stop her from firing her spear directly into Levana's chest! "How about you fight me off, sis!?" roared Maeralya, as she enhanced her blade with the power of a roaring golden lion of light, clashing against the bright holy light of Venettia's shield! CLAAAASH! "Maeralya! You've grown fairly strong despite having been such a lazy sister!" said Venettia, using the concentrated power of her spear to shower Maeralya with consecutive thrust attacks! However, Maeralya used her golden divine shield to protect herself, however, each attack and thrust from the powerful spear of Venettia was like a giant meteor hitting her directly! CLASH! CLASH! CLAHS! BOOOOM! "UNNGH…! Not half bad!" laughed Maeralya, as her blade fell over Venettia's wounded shoulder, slicing through it and breaking through her powerful skin defenses! SLAAAAASH! "UNNGGRAAGH…! (What is this strength, she didn't have it before!)" Venettia cried in pain as not only her arm was sliced off, but also a chunk of her soul, which quickly turned into crystallized divinity and fell over the sea…! "Did you liked my little kiss?!" roared Maeralya, as three cats jumped out of her back and fell over Venettia, while an army of bats reached upon her! "GGRAAAAA! Useless rubbish!" roared Venettia, destroying the summoned creatures with amazing precision and ruthlessness! CLAAASH! CLAAASH! BOOOM! However, the power of her attacks was not enough to fight back against the might of this powerful summons, after they were killed and summoned once more, the bats were overflowing with power through their several reincarnations! "RRROOOAAAR!" The gigantic bats rushed towards Venettia as they used their gigantic claws to tear her attacks apart, her bright aura was being oppressed, and she seemed to be slowly losing momentum! As if it weren't bad enough, Maeralya and Levana continuously attacked her in every way possible whenever she gave away an opening, her body was being shrouded with more and more wounds, more than the ones she could take! "No! Mother… I can't lose here! Not now!!!" The valiant and angelic dove-kin Great Goddess suddenly exploded with utmost brilliance as her resplendent figure resonated through the skies with bright and beautiful light, her power overflowing more and more as her divine aura shapeshifted into a glorious and enormous bird. Instead of a dove, it resembled more like a phoenix made of holy light! This powerful creature roared loudly as it flew towards her sisters, destroying anything through her path as Maeralya and Levana also gave their all! Maeralya coated herself in her light and turned into a giant lioness, roaring loudly as it leaped towards Venettia, while Levana became a humongous bat, rushing towards Venettia as her gigantic fangs grew sharper, her power surging more as countless weapons made of blood began to be fired against Venettia! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! The three sisters clashed against one another in a glorious fight, as their fangs, claws, and jaws destroyed each other! Levana and Maeralya ganged up on the powerful Venettia, even though her power was considerable! Her wings released deadly rays of light while the two sisters defended with their claws and fangs, and occasional rays of golden light or blood weapons! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! However, Maeralya and Levana's teamwork was outstanding, in no time they began to quickly overwhelm Venettia, their teamwork overwhelming the old dove-kin as her wings were suddenly torn apart! "UGAARRG…!" Attacks after attacks fell over her as she resisted and fought back, her powerful spears of light penetrated Maeralya and Levana's bodies several times, inflicting deadly wounds over them and their souls, both teams were killing each other cold-bloodedly! However… in the end! "Unnnghh…! This can't be…! Aggh…!" Venettia began to feel weaker and weaker, as the spark of life within her slowly started to dissipate into nothingness, her despair growing bigger inside of her mind as she saw her two sisters massacring her! "This is it… Venettia!" roared Maeralya, as Levana remained in silence, both sisters covered in wounds crushed Venettia's body into pieces, as her soul was shattered into dozens of glass-like fragments…! "Damn…! Traitors…!" Crash! The sisters grabbed the last pieces of their sister and her children fused with her, saving them inside their inventory. The war was not over, however, far from it. -----
