603 [Fated Encounters: Nyzzet's Labyrinth Conquest] 65/?: Kheseerad's Desperation
-----
Kheseerad noticed Zehe and the other girl's presence, which had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, breaking through the space walls surrounding his Pocket Space and revealing his whereabouts.
"What?! More of you capable of breaking through space?!" roared Kheseerad in surprise and awe.
"Knock, knock, little spider~! We come to bring you out of your nest! Why don't you see the bright and big world outside for once?!" laughed Zehe with maliciousness, as the four girls converged their Auras into one, infusing it within the mechanical giant's arms and shaping its hands into sharp claws, directing them towards the small hole in the space that connected to Kheseerad's Pocket Space.
"Blackness Unbound! Shadow Space Corruption!" said Zehe, conjuring two spells of her very advanced Shadow and Dark Attribute Magic, which were capable of affecting space.
The magic circles surged atop the claws of the mechanical giant, rotating continuously as the magic was released, covering the metallic claws which quickly flew through the air, grasping the layers of space itself and beginning to open it bit by bit.
Crack, crack, crack!
Kheseerad could not help but be astonished! He had already seen many crazy things today, but he had never expected that amongst Kireina's allies there would be someone capable of manipulating Space, even less when it was through a non-conventional way by doing it through another Attribute than Space itself.
Someone capable of imitating other attributes through a single one or two were often called immense geniuses, being capable of using the various aspects of a single attribute to connect with other attributes and develop similar abilities and spells that could create effects similar or even more outstanding than the ones that could be used through the original attribute that this other attribute was trying to imitate.
Zehe, however, was always known as a genius amongst geniuses. Although she was born in the Magic Mud by Redgaria as another pawn, she was born different than any other Troll.
She had blue skin and golden eyes, and her physique was slim and weak compared to the other Trolls, she was born as an incredibly rare magical variant of Trolls. Due to her outstanding talent, Redgaria sent Zehe towards the Mage Tower, where many Undead mages taught young Mages about the basics of magic to a certain extent.
In such a place, Zehe met Herbell, an ancient Court Mage from the Kingdom of Ollathir who had been turned into an Undead, and through his benevolence and care, she learned many things, some even not taught to the students there, sharping her magic to tremendous degrees.
And when she met Kireina and her life changed once again, every day her magic would keep developing almost endlessly, such power did not stop at all. And her fast progression and understanding of the Attributes of Dark and Shadows blossomed even further as she evolved into a Baphomet and then received Kireina's Blessing and then Enlightenment…
She knew that she had somehow grasped something, but until she received both the blessing and the enlightenment was when she was finally able to make such hidden talent blossom once and for all.
Zehe had developed her Dark and Shadow Attribute Magic through practice and error, and after receiving the teachings of Gods that were particularly good with it such as Levana, Agatheina's Granddaughter, she developed it even further.
One could say that Zehe's talent was increased even more when she stacked so many helpful powers and blessings from various sides. Such as her blessings are not related to Kireina, like that of Nyx, the Goddess of Shadows, which she received at an early stage in her life after joining Kireina, which influenced her evolutions.
Through grasping the power of creating Black Holes, which led to the distortion of space through the Dark and Shadow Attributes, she managed to develop through such a hidden path in Magic… until this point.
Kheseerad could not believe how a mortal was capable of breaking through his own space like that. Although Zehe was receiving the help of the other three girls alongside the enormous mech that enhanced her magic, it was still an impressive feat that should not be taken lightly.
Seeing such a menace, Kheseerad could not help but fall into desperation, suddenly conjuring his own magic to defend himself from the enormous mechanical giant that was trying to break through his space.
Crack, crack!
Space began to crack as Kheseerad decided to conjure something on his desperation, he really did not want to go outside!
"Get out of your cage!" roared Nanako, assisting Zehe as she created powerful waves of Telekinesis alongside Mady, enhancing the strength put into the breaking of the layers of space, making Kheseerad tremble.
"Go away, insolent mortals! I will not fall today to the likes of you! Space Threads!"
Although Kheseerad was not that god in combat than in utility, he still had a few spells and skills that could be used as an offense, such as the transparent threads he created from his butt, which flew towards the girls at great speed, trying to entangle them through it and leaving them trapped around distorted space.
"Something like that won't work with us!" said Zehe.
The giant, black-colored metallic behemoth chest opened wide, resembling the jaws of a dragon. The metallic, razor-sharp teeth were not the weapon to be used, however, as, like other times, there was a large cannon inside of the dragon's mouth, charging with the energy of the four girls Aura.
BOOM!
The cannon fired a ray of shadow and purple energy that clashed against the large web of distorted space fired by Kheseerad, and through the power of God Devour, it broke through it with relative ease, breaking the attack apart into pieces and then making each piece explode, helping them at the end to distort and dilate space even more.
"My Space Threads… Impossible!" roared Kheseerad in anger, as he directed his fangs to the metallic claws of the mechanical giant, trying to slow down its charge through the powerful poison it possessed.
"Despite being a Space Attribute God, I am still a spider! Succumb to my poison- AAGH!"
Kheseerad pathetically tried to bite on the mechanical giant's claws only to feel his fangs slightly crack… the material that the armors were made of was Kireina's bones, scales, exoskeleton, and horns, all of such materials being remarkably similar in endurance to Divine Materials after she ate and assimilated the qualities of Legendary Weapons and Equipment.
"Don't tell me… all of that armor is made out of Divine Materials?!"
Although Kheseerad was a God, that did not mean that his fangs were able to break through Divine Materials, especially when his evolutions never went through such route, always increasing his power over the Space Attribute. He was a creature used to entrap its enemies through traps that distorted space, using his poison as the last attack for those prey that was already trapped but still did not died to other attacks.
Unlike Zudig or Begudhur, Kheseerad fangs and jaws were not specialized in tearing apart things as a method of attack and were underdeveloped only to inject poison.
"What's wrong? Cannot bite on it? Too hard, perhaps?! Fufufu~"
The laughter of Mady resonated within the space inside of Kheseerad as the god began to become more and more desperate, deciding to charge at them with another attack.
"Space Bullets!"
Suddenly, the space around Kheseerad distorted itself as I shaped as countless invisible bullets, each one had similar power to Zehe's Black Hole Spheres, which were capable of distorting the space of whatever they hit.
Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!
"Ah, I got the perfect counter for that!" said Ismene, as she infused her pink Aura into the mech and began to conjure spells through it, countless magical circles appeared one after another, making for a flashy scene.
"Illusory Sealing Box!" she said, conjuring a strange-sounding Spell of the Illusion Attribute, which created solidified, pink-colored boxes around each Space Bullet in an instant, closing the boxes and then making them explode in midair, affecting more Kheseerad than them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Ungh! What was that?! Illusion Attribute Magic?! How is it possible for that type of magic to stop my offensive attack!" asked Kheseerad in frustration, as the space that Zehe and the girls were opening finally seemed big enough to take him out of it.
"Now, you're for a trip, Kheseerad!" laughed Zehe, as she shapeshifted the mech's chest into the head of a giant metallic dragon, which roared angrily as it extended itself like a snake towards the inside of Kheseerad's Pocket Space!
"ROAR!"
"G-Get awaaaaaay!"
Kheseerad suddenly unleashed a wave of space distortion capabilities, making the head tremble for a bit, but not destroying it, Kheseerad was unaware that the whole mech was covered in God Devour, making attacks charged with Divinity that hit them be mildly absorbed. The only way to deal damage is if the attack was extraordinarily strong or if it was charged with Divinity Devouring, but Kheseerad did not possess strength nor the Skill in question.
"GROWL!"
The jaws of the black-colored metallic dragon head opened wide, revealing the razor-sharp teeth, it caught Kheseerad's entire body with it, crushing through its jewel body and then carrying it away off his own space as if nothing!
"GRRAAAA! Zudig! HELP ME, YOU USELESS- Huh?! Is that Zudig?!" cried Kheseerad in genuine fear, he knew what was coming next… But could not help to glance at the fight going on in the background, Zudig was way too busy dealing with Kireina's army for him to even catch a glance at Kheseerad!
The Dragon Head began to struggle as Kheseerad was covered in several layers of distorted space around his body, and as he struggled to get out of the grasp, he released dozens of Space Waves one after another, trying to find a chance to escape.
"Now!" said Ismene, as Mady, Zehe and Nanako helped her create an even larger Illusory Sealing Box through their Auras alone.
"Illusory Sealing Box!"
Flash!
"Huh!?"
Kheseerad was suddenly trapped in a different space! He, a God of the Space Attribute was trapped in another space? That was unheard of!
Such shame could not be properly bear by him, as he struggled and shrieked in anger, asking for the help of Zudig while cursing the mortals that had dared to be so insolent against him!
He then began to think about how of a bad idea was to even work alongside Zudig…
"Damn it all! Would I really die in here?! I will not! I will not! I am destined to greatness! I will sacrifice it all for my survivability! No matter what! I will surviveeeeee!"
Kireina noticed that the girls were finally done as she put her mind into the task given, and extended her flesh towards Kheseerad at great speed, resembling an enormous tentacle with grotesque jaws and eyes.
Flash!
However, right before Kireina could devour the Illusory Sealing Box and be done with Kheseerad, a flash of various lights flashed inside the box, which was not of the same attributes as the ones that Kheseerad possessed!
Flames, Thunder, Water, and Wind flashed into a catastrophic attack, each one charged with Divine Energy. The chaotic storm of elements cracked the box before time, freeing Kheseerad as he quickly flew away.
From within the smoke, four figures emerged, with fear in their eyes and also desperation!
"Kheseerad, you bastard, come back!" roared a creature made entirely out of Water with a big crimson eye in front of its body, there was also a being resembling a living pile of mud at its side, alongside a giant with yellow skin seemingly made entirely out of thunder, and a demon-like creature with the head of a hammer shark covered in flames… the characteristic of each one was that they did not have physical bodies and their strength seemed small by themselves.
"Come back!" roared Kireina, flying towards Kheseerad as he tried to escape from her, quickly conjuring a magic spell and generating a Pocket Space, where he escaped from the outside world again.
"I will not die today! Kireina, mark my words! I will seek your demise at all cost! For now, have some fun with them, even without their physical bodies, the souls of these gods are strong enough for you to not take them slightly! Have fun with Zudig there!" Kheseerad said before escaping inside his new pocket space.
Kireina extended a large number of her tentacles towards Kheseerad, but was interrupted all the time by Zudig's incessant charge, making everything more difficult… A barrage of magic attacks from her part did not even reach Kheseerad, as the god hurriedly hid inside of his space.
Kireina, however, did not want to let it go, as she kept creating more layers on her Domain, Kheseerad might have escaped this time, but that did not mean that he escaped to the outside of her Domain yet…
And as she did, she glanced at the four entities that Kheseerad left going loose inside the battlefield, the four Divine Souls of four Gods he had captured and was saving to eat later, whenever he was to acquire Divinity Devouring.
The only Divine Soul that remained calm was the mass of water with an eye, as the other three Divine Souls seemed insane, roaring like wild monsters, and beginning to attack everywhere while firing their attacks that used their soul themselves.
And to the sides, Zudig was eyeing at them! New snacks had appeared in front of the voracious Zombie God, he could not simply let them go!
"More snacks…! All mine!" he roared, extending his rotten flesh all across the battlefield as the crazed Gods defended themselves or escaped, trying to destroy Kireina's flesh so they could run away from this place, while others flew towards Kireina's allies.
"Well, if Kheseerad will leave these to me… Why would I reject his gifts?" roared Kireina, extending her tentacles around, fighting against Zudig for the right to devour these new Gods that had appeared out of nowhere.
