Chapter 64
After doing the deed, Hollow is like a kitten, almost purring. She is all smiles. Ark looks at her and says;
"When are you going to undo your curse on me. I need my powers back."
Hollow looks at him and says with a smile on her face;
"When i will feel like it, you don't think that just because of this you are forgiven, aren't you?"
Ark laughs ironically but doesn't say anything, then they get up and start dressing. Ark asks;
"Do you have my sword? Did Raelion leave it with you?"
Hollow answers with her back at him;
"After he left, he came back and said that 'He can't wait too long to make you suffer' even if he knew the sword would be damaged a little bit, he still gave it to me to curse you, and waited until i was finished, so I don't have it; he took it back. He said something about taking your head with it. Like you did to his daughter."
Ark just nods, he also thought the same. Then he tells her;
"I want you by my side this time when i will go to their Dimension, and you don't have a choice in this. Or else i will kidnap you."
She looks at him and she doesn't know if she should laugh or cry, because she knows that he will really do it. But she says;
"After what we did, do you think i would let you get away from me again? Not a chance buddy. You are stuck with me now, forever."
Then they get out and start flying towards the rest of the gang.
The big guys are still trying to up one another, the bet still going. But Serak took the first place, his sword killing the soul's soldiers like normal ones, the rest of the guys are suffering a little bit at the hands of the soldier's. Niobe and Melody also not having any problems with killing them, Leah also managing to keep herself safe, by gathering and using the soul power with her sword she can use it to kill them. Elliot also almost overcoming the others, because he can fire soul arrows. The only ones suffering a little bit are Morven, Kyle, and Zmaug. They are not managing to do so much damage to the soldiers.
But Niobe comes to their help, she makes some Soul Swords then she throws them to the suffering guys. After they can also fight normally with them. Zmaug then starts to scream,
"Come to me now you loser soldiers, i will make you regret the day that you remained into this world."
But while they are fighting, something starts to change, it feels like the Universe is trembling and they feel the space around them hardening, it feels like every move it's ten times harder to make, and it becomes stronger and stronger with each passing second.
Then Melody feels something wrong with the cube, there the effects are even stronger than they are at them. It means that something is wrong with Terra.
She takes Terra's body out from the cubes space, and they see her glowing. When she appears, space is like a glue that doesn't let anything to move, all are trapped. Even Morven can't move.
Melody looks at her and knows that Terra is about to finish her bonding with the crown. But aren't the effects a little bit too extreme, only for bonding? Is like the Reality knows a new Ruler is about to be born, and it doesn't let anyone to intervene.
But then they see Ark appear next to her, even Reality not being able to stop him. But he just looks at her with calm eyes.
Then after a few moments, Terra starts to grow from a little 6 years old, to a 12-year-old. This process takes a few minutes.
But then the lights intensify, and an explosion of light sends a wave that expands in all the Universe, is like saying, 'The new Ruler arrived."
Then a dress made of light appears on her body, and she slowly opens her eyes, she looks around and sees Ark looking at her with a smile on his face. She also smiles and then looks at her body, then she looks at all that is around her, and she raises her hand.
Everywhere the hand passes, the space becomes normal again, only the Soul Soldiers remain blocked, the big guys are freed.
They come to her and all smile, Melody asks;
"Are you ok now? How do you feel?"
Terra looks at her and says;
"I'm more than ok, i can see everything that is happening in the Universe, and if i want i can be anywhere i want to, i can control space however i want. I feel like if i fought now with Leviathan, i could win with no problem."
The others look at her and some of them are feeling even more left behind, now not only Melody is unbelievable strong, but Terra could be even more powerful than her. And she is only 12.
Morven is almost at the level of Melody, and Serak with his sword can fight against anyone with a high chance of winning. They start to really feel the pressure. But then they see someone coming.
Thes see a pretty looking normal girl with glasses, but they feel something wrong from her. Then they hear Morven saying with an almost afraid voice;
"Hollow Cipher, she is Hollow Cipher. Prepare yourselves to fight. And don't lose anything from your body, that she can use. Right now, we have a chance at winning, because she can't use high level curses without something from the target. And we can survive her low curses."
All look with shocked faces at her and start immediately to take battle stances. But they hear her saying;
"Wait I'm not here to fight, i already lost."
She sees them looking at her with not believing eyes. And how could them, so she turns towards Ark.
But she sees him smiling with an evil smile and hears him say;
"She is trying to deceive you, don't let her escape, capture her so we can break her curse."
She looks at him and at his smug face saying, 'I got you. Hehe! Let's see you now,'
She looks at him with murderous eyes, she knows that everything she will say, will only fall on deaf ears. Until Ark is not going to say something, the rest won't believe anything. She looks at him and her face is saying, 'I will remember this.'
The gang and the others immediately jump in action, only Terra is stopped by Ark, he shakes his head saying, 'You don't need to intervene. Wait here.'
Morven reaches Hollow first, he makes two Darkness Swords, and he strikes towards her chest by sending two darkness rays in a X shape. But before she even manages to make a counterplan, she feels like her soul is about to leave her body. And that is not all, Melody took the cube out and fired her black ray. Elliot fired Sun Exploding Arrows, and they are also almost upon her. Serak also slashed a Nothingness Sword Energy from above her.
Then Kyle appears like a ghost behind and sends a red line that cuts even the fabric of space apart.
Zmaug sends a Dragon breath from the right.
Leah sends an all-energies explosion from her sword from the left.
Hollow is trapped from all sides, if she can't teleport like Ark, then she will be done for. But she doesn't look agitated or scared for her life, she has an almost scaring calm face.
She just says a few words in the face of the onslaught;
"Hollow Cipher. esruCfoytilibitcurtsedni."
Then all the attacks hit her, when it all hits is like a supernova explosion, everything around them is destroyed for million of miles, even the big guys need to raise a shield to protect themselves against the blast. All look at the destruction they caused and for a moment are relieved, because they know that even Ark would've been hurt if he took that hit.
But after a few moments they see a silhouette inside the explosion, with each passing second becoming clearer and clearer. All think their eyes are not working well, because all they see is a completely unharmed girl. But that is not possible she took all the hits, and Melody's Ray is still stopping her to do any movement, so they know for sure that she was hit, but is not possible to take on something like that without any damage.
Then they hear Ark;
"She used the curse of indestructibility on herself, but the more heaven defying the curse is, the shorter it becomes, but if her curse is used at the right time, well this is the result. That's why she is one of the most feared women in history, because she can use something like this to fight even against the 'Old One'. And she can use them how many times she wants. Her only limit is the sky. And the shortest she can hold a heaven defying curse is about ten seconds. But that is more than enough to do some damages, or to defend against the strongest of the strongest hits, not to say, to run."
All look at her like at a even bigger monster than Melody and Terra combined. All think, 'Then how can we fight her? She will kill us all in a second, if she uses something like One hit kill.'
But they hear Ark again;
"If you are thinking about how to defeat her, then you don't have to rack your brains about it, yes, it's hard, but there is a way. What do you say Hollow should i tell them?"
Melody recalls back the ray.
Then they see Hollow turn towards Ark with murderous eyes and tells him;
"If you don't want your powers anymore, then please do tell them."
But behind her someone like a ghost appears.
