LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 1158 Invaders
-----
Katherine was caught off guard, as a giant blazing arrow imbued with cursed flames reached the Nature Fairy. She wasn't a fighter, so her reaction speed wasn't close to the rest, but she closed her eyes, expecting a swift death…
BOOOM!
"H-Huh?"
However, she slowly opened her eyes to realize the arrow didn't hit her, there was the barrier surrounding the house, which had been activated and suddenly reinforced with celestial energies.
"Katherine! Are you ok?"
And it was the voice of the little angel Gabriel who woke her up from her fear and dizziness, realizing his powers had reinforced the domain's power and its barrier.
"Gabriel! T-Thank you!"
Katherine quickly glanced around her, suddenly hearing the laughter of someone above the skies, her eyes widened when she and Gabriel noticed the origin of that arrow.
"Hahaha! So cuteee! They're too cute, what the hell? I want to squeeze them to death now!"
It was a young woman, no older than her nineteens, with short pink hair and black colored hair, red eyes, wearing black shorts and a white blouse with a black leather jacket. Her big boots and the rest of little decorations and piercings over her face made her look like someone obsessed with punk aesthetics.
She was holding a strange bow made of black, cursed wood, and around her floated several strange looking creatures, Hollows made of black flames with tiny animal-shaped skulls for masks.
Her Aura exuded both corrupted Mana similar to Hollows, and Demonic Energy as well!
And around her, there were many other flying Hollows, resembling giant and aberrant bird creatures, lizards, or specter-like entities.
"I-Is that a Demon?! That Aura…!" muttered Katherine.
"That's not a demon, that's… that's a human, in the flesh!" said Gabriel, swallowing saliva. "A human that made a contract with a demon though… But this is weird, that aura she has… The Hollows are obeying her! I can't believe it! I am fairly sure they cannot be tamed!"
"And who exactly said that?!" laughed the girl. "They were dumb-dumbs! Ahah! Hahahaha! Now, I wonder if your barrier can withstand this too? Let's give it a go!"
She pointed her cursed bow at the barrier, suddenly transforming the Hollows around her into blazing arrows again.
And firing them one after another against the barrier!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Explosions of cursed flames engulfed the entire barrier constantly attempting to wear it down. The entire Domain shook, yet its spiritual energies remained in great quantities, keeping the barrier strong.
By allowing the lesser hollows to enter, the barrier was able to save energy and reinforce its defenses against the truly threatening damage it could take.
"Dammit, that barrier's not breaking!"
The girl complained angrily, as she looked down below, there was a black man with white eyes standing behind Elayne's house, he was wearing a black suit and white shoes, and he seemed to be only watching in silence.
"So can you break it or not, Tyrone?!" she asked angrily.
"Hmm, seems like a very complicated level of Domain… Something connected beyond the Mortal Plane," he said. "It also uses the connections to three other Realms to strengthen itself. It's just as they said. This Domain has a connection with the Realm of Dreams and Nightmares, the Realm of Avalon, and even… Heaven?! Wait, there's a fourth connection to another world too!"
"So can you break it or not?!" the girl asked angrily.
"Calm down, Martina, everything has its time and moment," the man smiled, putting his hands together to form a praying pose. "Wear it down for now, I'll get to work. Bring all the Hollows you want, Master allowed us to use them after all. This is a big job, so I better not ruin it…"
"You better not, idiot!" said Martina. "Because I'm not planning on working overtime!"
The girl fired more Hollow Arrows, explosions of corrupted mana flames erupting constantly, covering the barrier, which remained unshakable.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Tyrone sighed, smiling after her words, his hands suddenly showing big black colored tattoos all over them, reaching all the way to his arms, and then his face.
"{Forbidden Curse Technique}: {Domain Corruption}"
RUMBLE!
His tattoos started glowing bright red as the screams of hundreds of souls echoed from within, his shadows changed, dozens of gigantic hollows emerged, suddenly melting into a black liquid and moving around the entire residence.
Slowly, he started to assemble a formation made using Hollows and Corrupted Mana, even down to the very minute detail, runes, everything!
However, it took a long time.
"Just ten minutes…" he thought. "In ten minutes, this entire Domain will become mine!"
Martina looked down at Tyrone concentrating, sighing.
"Hmph! Well, there he goes…" she muttered. "Now, how about we change the pace, boys~?"
The girl winked at her Hollows, as they all groaned in unison, quickly overflowing with pink-colored auras. This was her special ability, somehow empowering these creatures.
"Go and destroy that barrier!"
"GROOOHHH!"
"YESSSS!"
"YES MA'AM!"
"MANAAAA!"
The giant flying Hollows started hitting the barrier constantly, unleashing shockwaves of corrupted mana and other cursed energies, constantly trying to corrupt the barrier and shatter it.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"Ugh…!" Gabriel struggled to keep the barrier strong. "Hahhh… T-The Domain is too unstable! It has yet to fully develop well…! Ugh, I can't… No! I have to keep going… Big sis and everyone else is in that world… they're busy fighting demons! They're too busy!"
As the angel boy kept gasping for air and trying to manipulate the domain, Elisa and Monica battled the hordes of Hollows rushing towards them. Combining their techniques in unison, both Golden Dragon Spells and Cursed Spells, they were rapidly taking care of them by the dozens.
"Keep going, don't stop fighting, Monica!" Elisa said, kicking a Hollow and breaking their skull-shaped mask, the creature exploding into smoke and black soot, leaving another crystal behind.
"Y-Yeah! I got this!" Monica nodded, conjuring her curses, and draining the Hollows from their Mana, their very lifeblood, and restoring her own like this. "Hahh… Hahhh… I'm tired, but I have to endure!"
As the two continued fighting, Katherine was flying around the Domain, quickly reaching a special point within it.
"There, a connection to the crystalized core!"
And then she touched that small root, imbuing her powers into it.
FLASH!
"Don't think I will sit down and watch!"
RUMBLE!
