Chapter 55 Part 2) Battle In The Skies Part 2 (Patreon)

Erebus chuckled as she looked at the ice woman in front of him. “Are you threatening this god?”

“You can take it as you please. But I will say this now. God or not, this is my kingdom, and you are not welcome.” Desaray knew this might be a tough battle, but she had no choice. She had to get this man away from her barrier and keep the kingdom and her people safe.

 “Your Holiness!” Juna suddenly appeared in the air, her eyes cold as she swept over Erebus.

“Oh? Another one has appeared. She even called you her holiness. I wonder. Are you playing God in front of me? Are you playing God in front of me, Erebus, the true god of darkness?” Erebus couldn’t stand one thing, and that was mortals trying to play god. “Since that is the case, you shall die.”

“I see. Then I guess we must fight.” Desaray flew high into the sky, not daring to fight near the barrier. She also made sure to fly outside the kingdom. Luckily, Erebus followed after her. He had completely ignored Juna, who was now following behind him.

“Running won’t save you!” Erebus raised his hand, and a fog of darkness shot towards Desaray.

“Who said I was running?” Desaray asked as she turned around and called out: “Throne of Ice.”

A throne made of ice appeared behind her. Desaray calmly sat down on it, not showing an ounce of fear as she raised her hand once more. She created a barrier of ice that wrapped around the fog of darkness, containing it within.

“Humph! Childsplay!” Erebus was the god of darkness. He was powerful, but he had a bad habit of playing with his prey, and currently, Desaray was his prey. He wanted to make her think she was winning before suddenly killing her in one blow.

Erebus waved his hand creating hundreds of spears made of darkness and fired them at Desaray who also returned fire using ice. Juna who was underneath them saw a chance to attack and shot up multiple spears of roots into the sky trying to pierce Erebus from a blind spot.

“Naive!” Erebus yelled out as a blanket of hardened darkness formed under his feet, blocking the roots. He then waved his hand, forming spears of darkness around both Juna and Desaray.

Desaray frowned. She did not know if Juna could block his attack. “Absolute Zero!”

The space and time froze around Desaray. The spears of darkness became encased in sight and fell to the ground. Juna had jumped into a root and hid underground. Erebus stood tall in the air with a bit of a frown on his face. “Not bad. This fight will be interesting!

“No, I will end this now. Hina, keep him busy.” Desaray tapped her head, causing the fairy hidden within her hair to fly out. She raised her little hands and said: “Primordial Freeze.”

“What!?” Erebus seemed shocked as he quickly retreated. The space he had been standing in suddenly distorted and everything with in it suddenly stopped. Even the clouds froze in place. “You can freeze time!?”

Erebus was shocked. He looked at the little figure who was about to wave her hand again and quickly retreated once more before suddenly shouting: “Wave of darkness! I will kill you both now!”

“Palace of Ice!” Desaray yelled out. The entire sky suddenly became encased in a palace made of ice. Erebus stood looked around him, and felt his own powers being reduced. His wave of darkness slowed to a stop and fizzled out.

“What is this!? A domain!?” Erebus looked shocked and at the same time showed slight fear. “How do you have a domain!? Only gods can have a domain!” Erebus yelled out. He did not understand. This mortal actually gained a domain and one she could use anywhere.

Domains were skills gods gained when gaining godly status. However, each domain could only be used in certain conditions. As he thought of the battle up until now, he realized something. The girl in front of him had planned to use this from the beginning. She had created the conditions needed to use her domain!

“You are a threat to my kingdom. All threats must be disposed of.” Desaray stood up from her throne, her eyes glowing slightly as she raised her hand. “Ice tornado.”

This was a spell Desaray had thought up herself. Since she had ice manipulation she could do with it as she pleased. Using a bit of mana, she created a tornado of hair-thin needles that spun around the target, stabbing into them.

“Heh… You can’t kill a true god!” Erebus suddenly shouted as he reached out into the space in front of him, tore a hole in space, and quickly jumped through it before Desaray’s spell could touch him. He never thought he would have to flee from a mortal. He had no idea how this girl became so powerful, but she had the ability to kill him if she so wished. “I will need to be careful and strike when the time is right.”
