Divine Chapter 60 (Patreon)

'Ooh piece of candy.' I thought happily as I collected several gems as the Deadra actually seemed to collect them for whatever the hell reason and who the hell would say no to finger-tip to thumb-sized gems?

Victoria and I relying on our stupidly enhanced physical bodies we had from the plane of Eminence in Shadow were able to more than easily meet the Deadra in physical combat, the only issue was the deeper into the spatially expanded tower, the more magically powerful the Deadra we fought were.

And as we finished killing some lesser Dremora Lord who actually managed to singe some of Victoria's hair and had her pouting at that. I knew that the Deadra's magic was going to be the big issue. But taking a breath I rallied the surviving warriors who literally followed us into hell as we stood outside a large ornate door.

"The leader of this place is just ahead of us. Once we kill the asshole we will be sent directly back home and the portal will close saving Solitude, who is ready to become a hero of this age brothers and sisters!?" I called out powerfully and the men and women regardless of the exhaustion they had accumulated. They cheered out bravely with all their strength.

Various cries rang out in cheer as I felt their will to battle rise up powerfully. "Aye, yes!" They cried and with that I winked at Victoria as I laid my hand on the door that lead to the Dremora Lord and with a flex of my mana I drew upon my blessing of Hecate to transfigure the enchanted protected door to naught but air that violently rushed past sending my hair flaring backward in waves as I strode into the large room.

The main room of the Deadric Lord was almost like a cathedral or theater room with the lord sitting in the highly raised back of the raised pulpit with her form lounging on a huge and ornate throne made out of ebony, gold, and endorsed with skulls of all shapes and sizes.

"Truly I never imagined I would be remarked as such a villainess to have the would-be pluckly hero's give a whole speech just outside my doors." The Deadric Lord spoke with her voice coming out like the smoothest of velvet and in response, I summoned a light spear and twirled it around as I dryly retorted.

"You literally summoned a portal to hell on a city's front steps and your monsters invaded to begin slaughtering the common people."

The Deadric Lord stood up from her throne and I idly noted that conventionally she was... Very beautiful with her form clad in tight-fitting leather-like scale armor that left little to nothing to the imagination with holes cut into the outfit to expose her large bosom and slits around her waist to expose the side of her thighs.

"You are right little blessed human of the gods. I did bring hell to your front step, but did you ever stop to consider how my greater Deadra didn't invade your lands? How only the most base and mindless of my little fief were the ones to invade?" She shook her head and almost sounded mournful as she continued.

"Truly I am sorry as the manner of my landing was inappropriate as I meant to land farther away but I only meant to bring trade to the mortal's land. Now can we please lay down our weapons and speak of peace young hero?" She spoke.

I gave her a long look before I blinked and looked back at the Nords and other races behind me who looked confused before I looked back at her and I smiled and said. "Nay, fuck you, you black-hearted cunt. Your Deadra have insulted us the entire way up here and you are the only one who is cunning enough to be a conniving snake. The only one who actually has the intelligence to realize my blessings and know that you are just living at my only patience."

I was well aware that Deadra weren't stupid, they were just immortal and extremely prideful so they rightfully looked down on the mortal races including elves and such. So this Deadra Lord was all but full of shit. And her taking on a voluptuous female form meant nothing as Deadra were formless and could take damn near any form they wished to.

Without a single word I waved my lance around in a circle with a dozen high speed spears of ice exploding around me as I blocked them as I continued to make eye contact with the Deadric Lord and then as had our face off, from within the dark shadows of the room came a dozen lesser Dremora Lords making me grimace as I knew a bunch of our people were going to die.

"Victoria, you deal with the lesser lords." I spoke coldly as I walked towards the true Deadric Lord with her taking out her own in weapon in a Deadric Greatsword and a Shield of all things.

Which was normally weird but then again she was obviously strong enough to wield the greatsword with our supernatural strength so besides how unweildy such a weapon was paired with a shield. I coudn't say anything.

Fire, lightning, ice and other elements in spells washed over my form as they slammed home into the warriors and mages that began fightning the Deadra as best as they could while Victoria abandonded all form of holding back her insane speed and skill as she tried to kill all the Dremora as fast as she could. But there I could feel and hear the Nords, elves, and all of the other mortal races dying behind me.

So knowing I was also on a clock I didn't hold back at all with lotus blooms forming in my eyes as I called upon Buddha's blessing of enlightment that shut off all my emotions and allowed me to see the truth of reality around myself.

"You... You see beyond it don't you." The Deadric Lord spoke with some sadness and almost pity as she looked at me and I knew what she meant. She knew I saw beyond the truth and lies of this world and it's state as a Dream.

I didn't bother to reply as her words coudn't arouse any emotion from my form. And with one step I walked beyond the tide of this realm making my step teleport myself right in front of her and the Deadric Lord's arm blurred as my spear slammed into her shield which made her smash into the wall as I had smashed her with the force of my spatial skip.

I calmly blocked a storm of lightning that she sent at me as she dropped that shield as she knew she coudn't block my stupidly powerful blows as I used channeled Hecate's blessing. Through the ground to form a tree of metal that blocked and absorbed all the lightning and divereted it into the ground of her castle.

"So you are using raw mana to enhance your body... And a blessing of the divine to change the physcial world around yourself. How adorable, if you actually had proper magical knowledge you would be a most terrible foe haha!" She laughed out and my eyes tightened as she waved her hand creating a Deadric Portal and she happily called out. "Well little mortal, it seems you have bested me Kryios this day. I will have my revenge upon you and your bloodline and all that for this humilatation haha!"

I stood stock still as I heard Scathach whisper in my soul. "Let her go. That portal leads directly to divinity, she ran directly to the court of a Deadric Prince, get the sigil and get out of there Jake."
