13 Ilerisa Vs Dryad (2/2)

Dryad begun to chant in an ancient tongue, a huge amount of mana gathering around her. Every living creature in the planet fell to the ground, their bodies rapidly turning grey.

\”What the hell is she doing?\” Hades asked, alarmed.

\”She's channelling worship energy\” Bosar replied, making them all sigh in relief.

Suddenly everything stopped. Time and space halted, freezing everything but the gods. Dryad's true eyes which were always closed, snapped open.

[Eternal Destruction] a wormhole appeared over her head and all the energy she had gathered was sucked into it. Alarmed, Ilerisa created a huge translucent shield. When all the energy was siphoned from Dryad, the wormhole disappeared, shocking everyone.

Dryad's true eyes closed and she rapidly fell from the sky. Both shadow and Ilerisa lunged for her, one to save her and one to kill her. Suddenly, Illerisa couldn't move and was stuck in place. A giant wormhole appeared above him the same time shadow caught her mistress.

\”Lend me your strength my companion\” Dryad said weakly and shadow nodded. The two began their fusion. Meanwhile, Ilerisa was stuck in a storm of chaotic mana and energy that was constantly wearing him down and causing extreme pain.

The fusion ended the same time Ilerisa cancelled the spell. He looked worn and extremely pissed. He chanelled his own worship energy and shot bolts of it at Dryad. However she abosrbed it into her own body.

Dryad was a sight to behold after the fusion. One half of her body was emerald green and the other half, pure black. She approached the god with vengeance in her eyes.

\”Ilerisa, you have committed a grevious crime and offended this goddess by invading her land and ravaging it in your selfishness. You have drawn my ire by tormenting my people. I find you guilty and judge you. Book of judgement, heed my call and punish this evil doer\” she said in an otherworldly voice.

A pure white book appeared in front of them, with its pages flipping rapidly. When it reached the last page, it turned into a white light and with a loud screech, rushed at Ilerisa.

\”JUDGEMENT OF THE GODS\” Dryad screamed and the white light blinded all of them.

\”Is that a law? The law of Karma?\” Ariama asked incredulously. No one responded but there was undisguised horror in their eyes. When the light died down, Ilerisa was in his soul form, a celestial pond made of golden water. His physical body had been destroyed and his soul form was barely holding on.

While Simour imprisoned Ilerisa and returned the items he stole, Ariama rushed to the two ladies sprawled on the floor, heavily exhausted. Shadow smiled at her lady and dissipated, her energy flowing into Dryad.

Dryad's eyes snapped open and she saw Ariama's worried face, hovering over hers.

\”Is it over?\”

\”Yeah\”

\”Good, cos I don't think I would've gone on for much longer. Where's shadow?\”

\”She's gone. She used her remaining energy to keep you awake long enough to get back to your body. I'm sorry\”

\”Let's just go home. The sooner I get to my body, the sooner I can bring her back\”

Admist loud cheering, the couple returned to the island where their journey begun. The planet was finally cleansed and named Eden. Dryad, the tree of life and goddess of trees, established her rule and the planet flourished for a very long time, finally making it an upper tier world.

As for the weird couple, they lived happily ever after. Well as happy as a man can be, marrying a tree. The end.
