Chapter 35: Ravel Vs. Goddess Rhongomyniad— 2
THIRD POV—
The Lion King stood up on her feet. A trail of blood was flowing down her lips. She wiped it down with her hand. She looked at Ravel and dusted herself up. She raised her hand and sent a blast towards Ravel. She dodged it.
"Wood Release: Smothering Binding Technique"
Ravel's arm turned into a tree. She created multiple branches which grew rapidly around Rhongomyniad, immobilising her. Just when Ravel thought that she had an upper hand, Rhongomyniad broke free from her bindings. She wrapped her hands around Ravel's branches and swung her, smashing her on a tree. But she didn't stop. She continuously swung and smashed her all around the forest. Not having any other choice, Ravel ripped her arm off.
Within a second, Ravel's arm regenerated. The Lion King frowned at Ravel. She said, "You can regenerate. It seems that I have underestimated you."
Just as Ravel was about say something, she continued, "Have the humans of your world changed a bit?"
Huh? Ravel was confused. What was with that sudden change in question? Where did it come from? She replied, "Hmmm... no."
The Lion King nodded her head. She said, "After I kill you... I will—"
"Wait a minute! Are you going me a monologue? I know what you will say. 'I will change your world. I will make it a utopia, where only deserving humans would be there. I would preserve their souls for all eternity.' Right? If so... then I request you to keep quiet. Freezing them or, archiving them... I know what your goals are," Ravel interrupted her.
She continued, "And if you think that I going to give a protagonist's monologue then, you are wrong. What I want, is for you to join my peerage, Goddess Rhongomyniad."
The Lion King observed her for a moment. She lifted her hand in a horizontal position. Light gathered around her hand, making a vertically-oriented spear like projection.
"Show the truth that is under the skin ripped from this world.
Holy Spear!
Raised Anchor.
You, who are the fury of the storms that divides the sky and connects the earth."
More light waves started to gather around her hand. Light rings started to form beneath her legs. The light rays started to move towards the sky in a spiral way, changing the dimension's state. The light that she summoned was even brighter than sun.
"Unleash your light from the confines of this world.
RHONGOMYNIAD..."
A huge spear made up of light started descending upon Ravel. Her mouth was wide open in shock.
'There was no way for me to dodge this. Neither my flames or, my other techniques would help me. So, I have no choice other than to use that...'
"Gate of Babylon"
Golden ripples started forming in the air. It was the King of Heroes Noble Phantasm. It was the Noble Phantasm of one, whose name even scared the gods. Ravel produced thousands of ripples around her. Swords, spears, hammers, and many other things slowly came out of the ripples, and stopped. They were waiting for their master to launch them.
The Lion King commented, "To have something like this... I am impressed. What is this?"
Ravel smirked, "Like you have your Rhongomyniad. I have my Gate of Babylon. This Noble Phantasm belongs to the first hero of the mankind, Gilgamesh. Honestly, I never thought that I would have to use this against someone. But here we are."
With that, the gigantic spear tried to thrust it upon Ravel. In its counter, she started launching weapons at an unimaginable speed. Thousands of swords, arrows, spears, and shields were thrown to oppose the spear.
Their collision was majestic. Shockwaves were seen. Mountains were wiped clean. The forest was ripped apart. The water bodies started to vaporize. The whole dimension was shaking.
"Do you think it can handle it?" yelled Ravel.
"No, I think it won't," answered Ryan. As predicted by him, the spear started proceeding towards Ravel. The weapons were proving to be useless.
"I have to use that!" yelled Ravel.
Ryan was shocked. He yelled, "You still can't use it fully!!" Ravel knew that she still couldn't use that weapon proficiently. But she had no other choice.
A portal opened in front of her and a golden key-like structure came out of it. She inserted her hand in the lower part and rotated it. A large network of circuit boards came out of it, forming a matrix of complex system. Then, it started to compress back into its origin, turning into a glowing ball and floating in front of her. A very unique weapon came out of it. It has the shape of a cylindrical, drill-shaped pillar made up of three independently rotating segments engraved with crimson lettering that spin slowly in an alternating direction like querns, the middle segment spinning clockwise and the top and bottom segments spinning counter-clockwise. It was Ea, the Sword of Rupture.
