Lowanna thrust her hands forward At first she had believed that Hungry EyeÆs interference had simply moved when this confrontation happened but now she understood it was more than that It also meant Deganawidah was present during this moment of tension He could take his martyring action proactively rather than reacting to her suddenly drawing on her people’s debt
So she knew exactly what she needed to do
For a second the Prophet seemed confused Then he looked down at the hole in his chest ripped open by a powerful explosion of significance The small eye mouths opened and closed You what Really Without a hint of remorse
I do not act casually Lowanna hissed Then she raised her hands the conductor finally freed from her constraints Once I have made a decision I do not waste time regretting it
Chapter 2327
Lowanna felt a thrill run through her stomach as her Nether splashed playfully within her body The ripples did not tug on the strings of life any longer The interactions and currents of energy she hosted were beautiful She hated the Prophet for his words but it wasnÆt wrong that after so long wielding her Nether was immensely pleasurable
She wanted to open her arms and unleash lovely black winds into the sky She wanted the world to witness the depth and character of her people She wanted to remind them how irreplaceable each life was
But for now she had more practical concerns
With a twist of the wrist she withdrew the significance that had punched a hole in the ProphetÆs ribcage because the Phaea feeding her energy had vanished she wanted to conserve as much Nether as possible The wounded Prophet took several small steps backward still too stunned to understand his situation Lowanna raised her hand and chopped A blade of Nether descended from the sky to finish the job
A wave of light spread out from the Prophet to defend against her attack With a twist she adjusted the angle of her blade of Nether and cracked open the shield But with that small delay the Prophet leaped backward He pressed a hand to his stomach trying to keep his blood from pumping out onto the dirt His one single eye reddened as he examined Lowanna What has changed Another flaw in the foretold path Is it that damnable Hungry Eye isnÆt it He has perverted existence Look at this unholy sky that he has painted over existence At the same time the lie of this place has been laid bare No definitely my hypothesis is correct
Finish him before any more of his image can manifest A flower of inky death blossomed around Lowanna Curls of significance softened the air around her like petals of dusk She almost didnÆt know how to utilize all the Nether that seethed through her body Had it not been for her little spars with Hungry Eye she might have been frozen by the scope of the energy she could contain As it was she simply did one of the actions she had in their duels and added some extra oomph to each motion
She struck with simple patterns and the depths of significance she possessed made it overwhelming
New ideas for patterns of attack came for her but she could sharpen her control later Now she gathered all the significance she could contain and hammered down at the Prophet
However again her unfamiliarity with her power provided time for the Prophet to take a breath By the time LowannaÆs follow up ripped toward him he raised a blood covered arm Strange symbols burned their way into his skin In a split second a new wave of light burst out from his body even more intense than the previous effort His image forced back all other energies in the area Lowanna frowned and smashed it three times very quickly with Nether but that persistent light barely managed to endure
A crazed look had seized the Prophet If this is a false universe if the Prophecy had been subverted so long as I draw the gaze of the great El Kedec to the site of the transgression Profane though this action may be there is no other way to eradicate the deviation And this timeline as well will fall under the lightÆs grace
The eye quivered and shifted to Lowanna The skin of his arm began to shred and bubble unable to withstand the energies he producedù Lowanna couldnÆt even believe the power she felt It rivaled the energies clashing above where Hungry Eye continued his strange ritual Underneath the overwhelming power of my god even you are minuscule Whatever resistance you might mount will be annihilated Prepare to cease
LowannaÆs significance began to churn and flow along new pathways She didnÆt waste time while this idiot ranted She saw larger patterns more overwhelming forces still while keeping her efficiency high Little tendrils of light wiggled out from the ProphetÆs arm as his beacon began to gather momentum Powerful though it may be Lowanna believed she could snuff it out before the light became too bright
Huh The Prophet for the second time seemed completely stunned by a development His eye quivered as it looked at his severed wrist The light of the beacon died The energy dissipated His hand plopped onto the ground
What have you done The Prophet shouted Honestly Lowanna empathized She had a hard time understanding why the allies would turn against each other
The Scythe that creature of shadow shook his head sadly at the disturbed cry Tch did we not discuss the dangers of blaspheming Prophet I had thought you had quelled your doubts Yet now I see that you consider the Prophecy to be but a guideline Your vanity has inflated you to the point you would transgress even the wisdom of the highest power As such I had a duty to silence you before your unworthy self drew the attention of El Kedec
Can you not see how blind The Scythe swung its brutal weapon again and the Prophet jerked his head backward in order to avoid being decapitated You spineless cretin After serving together for so long you would truly just kill me without even listening to my words
We are not perfect Both of us have failed in various ways But we survive So long as we grow the past transgressions can be forgiven And for now we should not discuss it further Because enemies remain
The Prophet had managed to gather another strange brand of light on his body Lowanna raised her hand to thrust a spike of pure Nether through the ProphetÆs head but then another heavy blow fell from above The world shook A new sort of annihilation reared its head so powerful that it seemed that it could tear through existence by simply being Thankfully Hungry Eye moved for the third time extinguishing the seed of destruction before it could grow
Yet this victory came with fallout a different sort of fallout the even pendulum of the forces was obliterated The floating island exploded sending bits of molten debris in every direction The weakened barrier collapsed entirely huge temporal distortions ripping up the ground The powerful energies that Hungry Eye wielded began to fade Remnant pieces of his architecture cracked and fell down crashing into the ground
This particular clash might have been much weaker than the previous ones but no longer did the consequences mostly stay up above
Powerful Nether Warriors barked out orders and the army began to form up pushing back the sortie from Homewell Aftershock blasts rattled the ground and threw up huge clouds of dust Through all that Lowanna attempted to follow the Prophet but
Worry not Nether Arbiter I would not allow this one to run free
Lowanna pivoted and saw Neveah her eyes transformed into a murderous reptilianÆs with vertical pupils Her right hand squeezed the back of the ProphetÆs neck as he squirmed and his lifeblood continued to pump out of his body In addition a dense halo of Engravings floated around his unsevered arm where a new burning brand of light had started to develop
Arbiter no longer Deganawidah took that weight from me Lowanna replied She pressed her lips together as she observed Neveah She could feel the monstrous dragon residing within the woman as well as the sweaty fear of the Prophet that she turned against him and bound him Based on your grip you intend to keep the Prophet alive Why
