Jayr POV - Tortus, Demon Kingdom Garnd - 2013

  After purging aroying Alva's soul, effectively killing him ond for all, while at the same time preserving Dienleed's body, Yue's uncle, in a block of absolute zero ice so that she mourn for him and give his body an honorable burial.

  I take a look at my surroundings ahe still ying on the ground and barely alive Apostles, and without hesitation, I start to heal them while at the same time sealing their 6th sense and their sense of touch so that we safely imprison them without w about them retailing and esg, after all, all the Apostles are way strohan the anyone else in this world, they were created to be so, and in fact, only very few individuals in this world defeat them.

  After doing that, I expand my perceptions until I sense Eri's familiar magic power, then I use my Telephaty to tell her, 'Eri, I have just killed Ehit's retainer Alva, and about Yue's uncle I froze his body to keep it safe, unfortunately, I couldn't save him as his soul was already ed by Alva wheook possession of his body... Anyway, tell Freid to e here with the other Demons to take trol of the situation and take to a secure pce the Apostles ying here...'

  Then I look at the straar in this room, and realizing something, I tinue, 'Ahing, be sure to tell Yue and Kouki to stay away from this pce for now... As there is an altar that, from what I sense, be used by Ehit to take someoo his realm, and as those two are the best host body for his soul, it is better to not tempt fate... Moreover, as said before, it is possible that Ehit will start his atta the people of Tortus in respoo my invasion, if not to wipe them out, at least to take Yue or Kouki's body, so be careful and prepare everyone for it...'

  And after saying that, I leave o message, 'Well, I'm going to kick Ehit's ass now... Love you, Ciao!

  After that, I bring out the pass of Eternal Paths and use it to sehe location of Ehit's realm, the Holy Prects, and once I'm able to ses position thanks to the pass, I no longer hesitate and teleport to it.

  Jayr POV - Tortus, Holy Prects - 2013

  A world that is richly colored, This is the sery that leaps into my eyes as soon as I appear into the Holy Prects.

  It is an immensely expansive spauch that I 't see the end of it with my eyes, various ix in this space, it is as if I'm lost inside a world within a bubble.

  In this mysteriously colorful space, there is a chalk-white path stretg straight forward, no, rather than calling it a path, it is like the top of a dam wall, it is more correct to express their location as above a huge straight wall.

  I was taken aback for a moment as I couldn't see any monster or Apostle in my immediate surroundings, it seems that Ehit still didn't realize that I'm invading, but I'm sure that he will do it soon, after all, Holy Prects is his realm, he does have quite the home advantage in this pce.

  Then curious, I walk to the edge of this path and look down ahat the ground or the bottom of the wall is unclearly being swallowed by the extremely colorful space, then look up ahat eveh straight ahead, after a certain distance, bees swallowed by the colorful spad this make it hard to firm the distand mutter, "Why it is never something normal in these divine realms...?" then I start to run while staying vigint of the surrounding.

  I'm traveling at high speed following the chalk-white path imosphere that is filled with an uneasy silence, from time to time, I check the pass of Eternal Paths to firm Ehit's position, and it tells me that his whereabouts are just ahead of the chalk-white path.

  Therefore I tio dash believing that, although there isn't a sihing in my surroundings that I could use to firm the distaraveled, both the pass and my seell me that I'm going in the right dire and that I'm getting closer to my target.

  I advaninterrupted in peace for several minutes, when I finally sense a ge, in fact, the Crateris Cloth se before me thanks to its ability to see into the future and gave me a warning of the oning attack.

  Right after that, silver radiant fshes e at me from all dires, it is a meteor shower of death without a single gap, veying clearly how no pce of escape is left behind, it is a deadly assault, but not for me, as I easily start to move around my hands to parry and deflect the tless Disiion Beam attag me.

  While still parrying the beam bombardment even those beams that came from my blind spots, I let out a yawn and say, "Aaah... For the love of Athena they use something different for once? I have already proved that this light show won't be able to harm me... Just e out a's end this quickly..." and soon the all-out bombardment of the Apostoles stops.

  Right after that, the Apostles show their figure as though they are oozing out from the colorful space while making ripples, ahat all of the Apostles are silver magic power, showing their seriousness right from the beginning.

  They narrow their eyes gazing at me who easily eheir all-out bombardment, and in an instant, the curb stomping being, I move at the speed of light and before they could react, I knock out ahe 6th Sense of 10 Apostles in an instant with a si, making the remaining Apostles gulp audibly, probably because they were uo follow my movement even though they in their full power state as they are all silver light.

  After that, I tio look at them ahat about 40 of them remains, so, I make another move and quickly knock down another 10 of them, at the same time, one of the Apostles finally snaps out of her fused state and ands, "Kuh, three people are to t. The rest tinue on the assault!" and looking at her, I notice that she is grindieeth and the usual expressionless face of the Apostles is finally crumbling.

  The remaining Apostles obey her instru and move all at ohree of them remain bad start a long t, while all the others start to rush toward me, with the ohat gave the and, the leader of this group, at the lead.

  Soon, the Apostles start to fly all arou a very fast speed, leaving behind tless fusing afterimages, trying to find an opening to attack me.

  But, I have grown bored of this fight, and so to quickly finish it, I y arms, at the same time, I ignite my mixed energy, which gathers around my body and transforms into a water-like aura that envelopes my body, then while yelling, "P Rain!!"

  I quickly spread my arm wide, and release a massive amount of clear blue energy droplets in every dire at once, almost like heavy rain, hitting everyone around me.

  Some of the Apostles were able to barely react to it and raise their swords and use them as a shield at the st moment to try to protect themselves, some eveheir own wings ented with Disiion Magic, but it was all useless, as my attack easily breaks through their defenses breaking their ons and wings in many little pieces, and sh them in a torrent of blows.

  After releasing my teique, I look as all the remaining Apostles start to fall from the sky, then with a little bit of Telekinesis, I stop their bodies from falling into the colorful abyss and y all of them on the chalk-white path I'm standing on.

  Then I look at the remaining three Apostles that escaped from the range of my attack because they remained back to cast their trump card, some kind of ultimate magic.

  The Magic is about to be unleashed, as a big silver sun ented with disiion magic appears above them as the three apostles have their huge swords piled into one.

  Seeing that, I snort and say, "Is that your trump card? It is just the same old trick... Very well, let me show you guys what true power really is..."

  And at the same time, I make the energy within my body explode, and as a Gold Aura envelopes my body, my fist starts shining and a clear blue orb of water-like energy gathers around it.

  Thehree remaining Apostles yell at the same time, ""Vanish without any trace behind! Irregur!""

  And with a swing of their swords, the sun-like ball of disiion falls toward me at a very fast speed, but at the same time, I yell back, "Time to end this. Tidal unch!!" and with a pung motion, I shoot the small ball of water-like energy straight towards the silver sun.

  Soowo attack csh against oher, but it seems that the silver sun is slowly pushing back my small water-like orb, but before the Apostles could say anything, I smirk and do the thing that I didn't know I missed so mutil this moment, I whisper the start of the real attack, "...Boom"

  And the moment, from the water-like orb g against the silver sun hundreds of deyed strong impacts, came oer ahat slowly push it back, and as the impacts grows stronger and strohe silver sun shows signs that it is breaking apart.

  And whe deyed impact happens, the shockwave geed by the st impact is s that the silver sun powerlessly disperses, and at the same time, the shockwave hits the remaining Apostles knog them out and making them fall into the colorful abyss, but of course, before they could be swallowed by it, I once again use my telekinesis to pick them up and save them.

  Once I y them together with the other fainted Apostles, the leader of the Apostles regains her sense and asks with a clear hint of fusion ione, "I-irregur, wh-why are y-you sparing us?" I look at her and reply, "Because even if right now you all are only puppets of Ehit... You guys have the potential to be so much more. I clearly sehat you all have your own soul, will, aions, the spark is there but it is ed down and sealed by Ehit's evil will so that you be his perfect tool..."

  Then I stop for a moment and take a look at all the Apostles ying on the ground, before fog ba the leader and tinuing with a small smile on my face, "I'm sparing you in the hope that after you are freed from Ehit's trol, you truly bee your own person, free to live however you desire... And if you still desire to fight for something instead of living a peaceful life, be a force of good, fight to proteot to oppress or kill."

  And after saying that, I make sure to quickly seal the 6th sense of everyohen I expin to the leader what I have done and then turn back to tinue my advance, but just as I'm about to move, the leader yells, "W-wait! What is your name?"

  Looking back at the Apostle, I reply, "My name is Jayr Pucci... o meet you...?" and uanding what I'm about to ask she says, "I'm Zweit... the sed Apostle created by Ehit-sama..."

  I nod and say, "A pleasure to meet you Zweit... I'll make sure to give you and your sisters a ce to chose how to live your life..."

  After saying that, I'm about to move once more, but stop when I remember a little detail, 'Could this pce be like the Underworld? If so, that means that after I kill Ehit, the whole Holy Prects will colpse, killing these Apostles before they have the ce to bee something more...'

  And realizing that, I quickly look at the Apostles on the ground and say, "It is better if you don't stay in this pce... Sorry, it seems that I have to seal your movement too..."

  After saying that, I quickly seal their movement, and then throw them into the swirling bck portal leading to my Soulbouory to keep them safe, then I tinue my advance.

  After dashing forward for a while, I finally run into a richly colored rippling wall, and looking at it I realize, 'This looks like a telepate... Just like the ones in the Labyrinths...' and toug it with my hand, I see that my hand easily sinks into the other side firming my hunch, then without hesitation, I leap into the other side.

  The first thing I do, once I'm oher side, is to check my surroundings, and what greets my sight is the sery of a devasted city, "For the love of my pretty Athena... This looks like something out of an apocalyptic movie..."

  Indeed, just as I came out from that rich colored space, I find myself in a modern city that looks nearly simir to Earth's style with its maintaireet and high-rise buildings crowding together, however, it is as though several hundred, or maybe even several thousand years had passed, everywhere I look there are only deg ruins.

  There are buildings that look like they could crumble anytime, and there are also buildings that are barely standing by leaning on the neighb building.

  All the spots that seems to have gss attached had been smashed thhly, with the remains scattered everywhere.

  On the ground, there is rough and hard material like asphalt bing the ground, but there are tless cracks and undutions and also caved-in spots.

  But from how the faintly remaining words on the signboards scattered everywhere on the building wall round, I notice that there areh or Tortus letters, and I 't find any traffic light at all oreet, furthermore from how the material of the building isn't reinforced crete, I realize that this isn't an imitation of Earth's city, but maybe the remains of another civilization.

  Looking around, I let out a sigh and mutter, "Perhaps, this is a memento of Ehit's homeworld. I remember reading somewhere that before being the shitty bastard he is, he fled from the destru of his world..." then I start to move, using the pass of Eternal Paths to find the right dire.

  Before long, by the time I passed who knows how many interses following the pass, a clock tower that looks just like London's Big Beers my sight from between the gaps of buildings, and sensing the feeling that the pass gives me I mutter, "It looks like that clock tower is the entrao go to the area..."

  And putting the pass bato my Soulbouory, I head toward the clock tower through a huge interse.

  But, right after that, my eyes quietly narrow and my foot that was about to step forward return back, all because I sehe presenany monsters appearing all arouhere is still quite a distaween me and them, but they have me surrounded, as I sehat I'm in the middle of their encirclement, then I notice that most of them are hidden in the various building, and so I quickly decide how to deal with them.

  Urging the energy inside my body, I focus and say, "This is the first time that I'll lose a little trol over my teique so that I destroy the enviro around me... It is... liberating in a sense..."

  At the same time, a Gold Aura envelopes my body, my fist starts shining and a clear blue orb of water-like energy gathers around it.

  Then without wasting any more time, I yell, "Tidal unch!!" and send a strong punto the ground, then as a huge crater forms around the point of impact, I use the rebounding forp high in the sky and thehe special magic of the Kick Rabbit, Aerodynamic, to create a small barrier-like pte of pressed air under my feet, to use as firm foothold so that I stand on air and look at the spectacle that is about to begin.

  On the crater created by my punch, the clear blue orb of water-like energy starts its sed phase, and soon from it, hundreds of deyed strong impacts came oer ahat ehe crater even more causing a strohquake, causing the already group of ruined buildings who are only barely standing even in the best of times to crumble all at oh a rumbling sound.

  And soon I sehe presence lurking in the ruined buildings being crushed by it, and those that are trying to get away bei bato it by the shockwaves geed by my teique that also rips them apart, while those oreets are quickly getting killed by the fragments of crumbling buildings that rains down from above like heavy rain.

  And so I look at the spectacle of the whole city crumbling over the might of my sieique, I let out a sigh and say, "And that is what usually happens when a Silver Saint fights without g about his surroundings... That is why we all learn to focus the power of our attaly on our enemies... well, that, and the fact that if we disperse the power to cause destru to our surroundings, then we could be uo bypass our enemy's defense, and the same is true for our ehat is why all the fights that took ptil now didn't already destroy my world..."

  Dust rises up grandly, as I look down at the ruined city that instantly looks like it went through a natural disaster, I try to sehe preseny enemies, but soon, I realize that all of them ended up being killed by the city's destru, then look back at the clock tower ahat it is still standing because it is reinforced by magid because I carefully trolled the strength of my teique so that it wouldn't crumble simply because it is the gate that leads to the zone.

  Seeing that I'm done here, I quickly leap toward the clock tower, and without hesitation, I jump into the dial moving toward another zone.

  Jayr POV - Tortus, Holy Prects - 2013

  "Nivis Casus!!", I cast aack spell whistantaneously creates and unches a rge-volume avanche of snow at the targets, and soon the avanche of id snow sweeps away every monster in its path, then falls into the o below slowly freezing it, while at the same time, killing anything hidden below.

  I look at the se below while using Gravity Magic to float above the o that is slowly turning into aundra, then I pin, "This is getting ridiculous, I already quered more than 5 zones! Is Ehit hoping to tire me!? Or killihrough boredom?"

  Then sensing that all the monsters around me are dead, I take out the pass of Eternal Paths and check the distaween me and my objective.

  Sensing my and its position, I mutter, "paring it to the starting point at the first space…we have gohrough around four-fifths of the distance. I guess it might be the space or the space after that", then I once more look at my surroundings.

  Currently, I'm in a zone in the middle of the o that is still slowly freezing as a result of my spell, as far as the eye see there isn't a single isnd, it is a space of sea.

  Sometimes, sea monsters leap out from the sea and bird monsters fly from the sky, but they were dealt with without any particur problem, the first by freezing them to death, and the former by shooting them down with a few Sagitta Magica.

  Then I think back at some of the zones I passed through, 'After I passed through the clock tower of the ruined city, I traveled through a zone where the ground and sky were reversed, a zone where tless white blocks were floating, a zone where there were only rge mountains like the Divine Mountain t over and a zohat was like a giant library where tless bookshelves were clustered together... All full of monsters as strong as those in the Orcus Labyrinth or Ambushed by other Apostles...'.

  After thinking that, I tio advaraight ahead for a few minutes in this zone of the rge o with really good visibility that shows me nothing but water, but soon, a ge happens, I look up and mutter "Dark clouds?"

  Ihe sky that was supposed to be clear is beginning to be covered by dark clouds rapidly like seeing a video that is fast-forwarded.

  Furthermore, even the calm sea that still isn't frozen is beginning to be stormy due to the strong wind, it appears that a rge storm is suddenly ing, and at the same time, I sehe thing lurking below, it is a mohat is in a different league pared to all the monsters entered until now, not only for its massive size but also for its strength.

  I focus my gaze on its position and see a giant whirlpool that begins to form on the sea, it is obviously not something natural, but it is caused by the monster's movement.

  From the shadow projected oer surface of the stormy sea, I see that the whole length of it might be more than three hundred meters, the diameter of its body is so thick that it 't be so easily measured by sight, and the whole body is covered by metallic scales, on its back there are also fins attached that possess hard shine as they glint just like a bde.

  Then the enormous sea ss out of the whirlpool and shows its face, it has a head that looks like a dragon with a lohat is lohan fifty meters, with scales that are as rge as a human child, a pair of eyes emitting reddish bck light and the two yers of sharp fangs that line up smoothly, and also something like fin at both sides.

  The fins are simir to the torso, they possess the metallic shine and sharpness of a bde, it feels like just toug it would cause the ooug it to be bisected right into two.

  Then the Sea Ss out a terrific roar, that causes the whole zoo rattle, moreover, that roar which is apanied by the physical impact of its shockwave that strikes my body violently, is also followed by an unknown wave that is transmitted into my mind, probably this roar is apanied with an effect that awakens the terror in the listener's mind.

  Normally the one who heard this roar would have their body along with their mind blown away into darkness due to the shockwave, and even if they barely maintaiheir sciousness, their brain would be in disarray and their body c in fear, they would be turned into prey and could only tremble while waiting to be eaten.

  However, such a thing is totally iive against someone like me, and so, I simply pin, "So noisy. Just shut up!" then I quickly hold my hands out over my head, pointing towards the sea sh open palms, and quickly gathering my energy, I yell, "White Ice Spears!" and throw my hands down, and cross them.

  My energy solidifies into numerous solid spears of ice, that move at the speed of light and easily pierce through the bde-like scales of the head, pierg its brain and freezing its body killing it in an instant, without giving it any ce to retail, then looking at the frozen body, I mutter, "This monster feels way strohan any other I have met until now... Maybe eating it will raise my stats even more..."

  And realizing this, I take out the Tactical Arms in its Sword Form and use it to cut some of the frozeo eat ter and quickly store it inside my Soulbouory.

  Then, right at that moment, the space a few kilometers in front of me separates and begins to shake like jelly, and then, after a few moments the space melts and disappears, and a rge isnd appears from the space gap, and I quickly realize, "…It seems, that the entrao the zone is at the ter of that isnd."

  The isnd is covered with really tall trees that could reach a few dozeers on the whole, other than the shoreline I 't see the ground at all, and acc to the pass, the entrao the zone seems to be at the ter of that forest.

  At the same time, I sehat many powerful monsters are running rampant in rge here, especially at the ter of the forest, so without hesitation, I rush inside while thinking, "At least this is a good warm-up before kig Ehit's ass..."
