Chapter 449: [Scripted Event] [Moonfang Kingdom Conquest] 9/35: Habitis’s Past ----- Habitis Scarlet Moonfang was one of the eldest princesses of the Moonfang Kingdom. Born from one of the Lion King's, Lionel, and one of his wives, a rare caste of cat beastmen with crimson hair, she was born as a Scarlet Lioness Beastwoman, inheriting the strength befitting of lions and the powerful magic talent of Scarlet Cats. In those times, Cathin was still quite lonely, as not even Cassamia showed up on his life, Habitis was always a strict woman, filled with principles about diligence and hard work. However, despite her personality, her heart was melted by the young and lonely boy, as she showed him kindness for the first time in his life. Habitis had a hard time showing others love and decided to do so by helping Cathin train his body and his sword techniques. Like this, the young lion prince learned from his elder lioness sister about fighting and strengthening his body, slowly awakening the hidden bloodline of lions. Habitis always had a spot inside of Cathin's heart, and as she created a bond with her little brother, she grew more friendly and open to others. Habitis was one of the first mother figures that Cathin had in his life, as his mother had died before he could even get to know her better. However, on a fateful day, as the shadow of Geggoron spread through the Moonfang Kingdom, Habitis was caught in a scheme by the new church or cult of Geggoron, she was brainwashed and had a medium-sized split soul of the demon demigod implanted in her… In that time… she changed, her mind broke and her memories fragmented, merging with Geggoron's rotten mind. She had changed, and when Cathin realized this, it was far too late. She only had a single thing that she prioritized, and that was Geggoron, her only and greatest master, the owner of her life, and the supreme being amongst supreme beings... She had received some info about Kireina, who had appeared in the Moonfang Kingdom out of nowhere. However, according to her great master orders, as long as she kept tailing Cathin, she would not be able to meet with her, as his master had sent several bandit groups around the defenseless nearby villages. Geggoron thought that Kireina was prioritizing the safety of the citizens above all, but she was just exploring around and had enough forces to save the villages without even intervening. Habitis could be said to be very unlucky… Kireina also had quite the high Luck Stat by now, so such nice encounters were to be expected in her calculations. She liked to grasp the situations and chances given to her, meeting Cathin was something good, and she decided to stay with him and see what could come after him. Kireina would not let Habitis do as she pleased, she let her wives and Cathin group take care of the small army of monstrosities and Nightmare Hunters while going for the main dish herself. She activated the [Transcendental Weapon Materialization of the Demon Overlord of Lust; Giant Armory] Skill, as she created several blades out of nowhere, all of them were similar to the ones she had once devoured and could recreate with Skills. Converged all into one Skill, they became Kireina's armory. Although they were strong, none of them held the power of a 'Legendary' Rank weapon or above but were enough of a distraction for Kireina to start the fight with a head start. Blades of all sizes, long battle axes, and sharp spears appeared from all directions, Habitis and Geggoron's Split Soul merged their consciousness together to manage and conjure several Skills, Techniques, and Spells, in hopes of evading the onslaught of attacks. "Nightmare Barrier! Shadow Riposte!" shouted Habitis, creating a dark barrier made out of Nightmare Divinity from Geggoron's split soul, while raising her long battle ax and releasing a series of shadowy slices, intercepting the projectiles that had managed to enter her range before the Nightmare Barrier was set. Clash! Clash! Weapons flew around, some broke apart while others managed to penetrate Habitis��s thick skin. Rivers of blood covered her muscular body, as Geggoron's split soul activated its divinity and sealed the wounds to maintain his vessel health. "Good job, but how about this one?!" shouted Kireina, testing Habitis's endurance by generating a dozen larger blades, enhanced with her plentiful mana, soul, and aura, she sent them flying towards the Nightmare Barrier like bullets breaking through the air. Flash! Flash! Flash! Clash! Clash! Clash! "What?!" These blades that Kireina had generated managed to slip through the Nightmare Barrier like a hot knife cutting through butter! Habitis enhanced all her capabilities as her body bulged with muscles, using this strength, she raised her ax and intercepted the blades with it, slashing them apart before they could impale her. "She used 'Divinity Devouring' into the blades she created! That scheming bitch! She sent a barrage of weapons that we're incapable of penetrating our barrier, just to fool us into thinking that she wasn't capable of doing so!" said Geggoron's split soul, communicating with Habitis. "Oh, you're quite quick to catch on my plays…" said Kireina, waving her hands and making the blades that were destroyed into pieces detonate, bursting in a barrage of explosions of multiple colors. Boom! However, Habitis managed to evade in time, only receive small injuries in her skin being burned, which were quickly healed back by Geggoron's split soul support. "Just how many trump cards does this worm has?! I cannot just rely on the other split souls' information; she keeps using different abilities and skills! How deep is this monster?!" wondered Geggoron's split soul, enhancing Habitis's body with his Aura. Habitis suddenly began to move at a bursting speed, creating several after-images of herself, resembling shadows that moved alongside her, attacking Kireina in combination. Kireina stood flying there as the onslaught of attacks rained upon her. "Aegis, Barrier Coating, Attack Reflection," she said, as a translucent barrier appeared before her, intercepting, and blocking each attack without any difficulty. Clash! Clash! Clash! "Aegis…?! Isn't that… Zeus's special shield which was given to Athena?! How did she get that?!" shouted Geggoron's split soul, bewildered. "Zeus? Athena? What are you talking about? I got this all by myself" said Kireina, with a playful smile… she wasn't going serious in this fight at all! "What with that… detestable smirk?! Y-You worm!" shouted Geggoron's split soul through Habitis mouth. "Hm… I wonder if Zeus can do this… Barrier Guardian" asked Kireina, shaping Aegis as if it were moldable slime, transforming it into large hands that tried to release countless fighting techniques over Habitis. "You can even shape your barrier?!" shouted Habitis, as she waved her claws and released a dozen Nightmare Magic spells, in hopes of them affecting Kireina. Several of the spells were instantly blocked by Aegis, but two managed to move around the barrier and hit Kireina's body! Kireina suddenly froze. "Hah! That is what happens for being too confident in yourself to not even fight me seriously! My Nightmare magic can not only be offensive, but it can also affect the mind of others, now succumb to endless nightmares!" shouted Geggoron through Habitis's mouth, as she jumped towards Kireina with her ax raised above, her Aura and Divinity mixing together and creating clones, ready to finish Kireina with an onslaught of techniques while she was frozen inside a nightmare! "Die, you scum! And become nourishment for my main body!" shouted Habitis, releasing hundreds of techniques through her clones and herself. "No, I'm fine… though it took me by surprise, I just had to use Nightmare Magic on Nightmare Magic… (Having multiple minds to take over the nightmare for me also helped)," said Kireina, molding Aegis and protecting herself, while evading other attacks and flying over Habitis. "That's… you have Nightmare Magic?!" shouted Geggoron's split soul through Habitis's mouth. "You seem to have forgotten who I am…" said Kireina, as her limbs suddenly became grotesque tentacles covered in demonic dark scales, eyes, sharp fangs, claws, and other monstrosities, dissipating Habitis's Aura clones and throwing her away with a potent blow. Blast! "Guaaghh…! T-That's…!" shouted Habitis, flying through the air as she vomited a mouthful of blood, her bones had been completely shattered and her armor barely resisted the hit, even her flesh was twisted below her skin. "Graaaahh! She obtained Nightmare Magic when she ate that piece of my divinity in the dream of her accursed daughter?" shouted Geggoron's split soul, enraged while infusing his Divinity through Habitis's near-death body, recovering but quickly mutating it due to the corruption and the lack of resistance. Kireina suddenly appeared ahead of Habitis as she manipulated her grotesque tentacle-like limbs, covered in her Soul and Aura, and began to smash Habitis's entire body, her flesh torn apart and her bones were pulverized. Kireina's monstrous form was capable not only of hitting incredibly hard by stacking up several skills and buffs together, but she was also able to release all of the techniques and arts she knew, even if she was not wielding a weapon. Her limbs shaped themselves as sharp spears, blades, and axes, giving her the ability to use such techniques. All of those abilities and attacks merged into a convergence of energies, the phantoms of countless weapons appeared before Habitis's bloody eyes. "Graaaaahh…! I am… not going to give in to you!!!" shouted Geggoron's split soul, due to his divinity that made him a hateful being, he couldn't stop hating and being enraged over Kireina constantly playing tricks on him and deceiving him with the simplest of things. Geggoron's split soul gathered all of the Divine Energy and Aura that it could fathom as he extended it through the battlefield, resembling tentacles made out of gases, they began to assimilate the corpses of the fallen monstrosities or Nightmare Hunters, and it even grabbed on the ones that were still fighting for their lives. "This is not over yet! I am not going to give in to youuu! Convergence!" shouted Geggoron's split soul, while releasing a crimson ray of Nightmare so Kireina couldn't easily interfere with what he was doing. "Oh? You are going to do the same that Megusan did?" asked Kireina, as she extended her fleshy and grotesque limbs and tentacles all around her domain, alongside her Aura, she began to catch on the corpses and monstrosities that Geggoron was trying to assimilate, eating them herself! The Crimson Nightmare Rays were easily intercepted by her entire body, which generated a membrane-like wall with thousands of fangs spreading all around, charged with 'Divinity Devouring', it became a better barrier for Divine Energy-charged attacks than Aegis itself. "What kind of damned shapeshifter are you?! You are not just a fairy or a vampire…! What kind of strange abilities do you have? Everything about you just breaks any sense I've gathered throughout my entire life! Graaaahhh!" shouted Geggoron's split soul, falling into madness as he saw his pesky plan completely destroyed by Kireina. He began to release powerful floods of dark tentacles from within Habitis's mutated body, trying to intercept Kireina's limbs. A battle between grotesque monsters that could only resemble eldritch horrors unfolded. Kireina went all out with her transformation, covering herself into several coatings of hard armor and spikes and throwing Aura Blasts with her thousands of mouths and eyes. "Aura Sphere Rain! Order Reversal!" shouted Kireina, as dozens of spheres of pure and chaotic darkness showered over Geggoron's split soul, instantly leaving deep holes within its body, without being capable of healing back such wounds. Another wave of Chaos Attribute Mana crossed through Geggoron, as he felt his body twisting around, even more, pain rushing through his very existence. The pain was so unforgettable that he could only embrace the madness, laughing like a maniac, he began to release all his attacks against Kireina while using its own body as a weapon. Habitis's original appearance was long gone, she had completely become a monstrosity. Cathin who was looking from far away felt a hint of melancholy. Kireina willed it as a giant sun appeared above her, which she controlled masterfully, clashing it against the gigantic body of Geggoron. The sun was not just pure lava, if it was just that, it wouldn't have done much damage to the fiend, but it was charged with Divinity Devouring, anything Kireina created and charged with such effects could become a suitable weapon against Gods. "GUUAAAAGGHH!" Kireina kept embracing Geggoron's split soul into merciless attacks, she created more Overpowering Suns, which she charged with her Eclipse and Dawn Magic, creating a change into their colors and structure, converting into Eclipsed Suns charged with Dark and Shadow Attribute Magic, they flew at immense speeds towards Geggoron, detonating chaotically. Boom! -----
