Chapter 17 - the godly newborn

Draugur brusied and cut on his knees using his sword to raise back up to his feet,his eyes now a pure white as the blindfolded woman laughs at his pathetic state and insults him for his weakness

Draugur chuckling his voice surprisingly light heart"I forgot you ask you what's your name"he raises back up to his feet as his body grows with a dark ominous light and steam comes out of his blood stained clothing

The blindfolded woman mouth opened in shock as she begins to wonder who Draugur is on his feet"I had cut his ether cord and ether chain how is he standing"her grab on her scythe tightening to the point of her knuckles turning white

An ether cord and ether chain are connected to a beings ether core and are similar to virtual organs once cut a being can no longer produce or absorb ether but due to Draugurs late blooming to ether his cord and chain aren't fully developed this feature limits the power of the spells and magic Draugur can use ,the trade off is that Draugur physical abilities and durability are unparalleled

"This insufferable human angers me and he dares asks me for my name like we friends I'll enjoy tearing him apart"thought the blindfolded woman before a crescent shaped wave of darkness rushed towards her she sidesteps her blindfolded eyes never leaving Draugur form

I asked you a question what's your name!?shouted Draugur with a slight growl his codex glowing with the some intensely as his ether

"I have no name human"the blindfolded woman said coldly as she appears behind him and arcs get scythe down, Draugur barely dodging gets his cheek cut as he glances back at her and responds "that's sad maybe I'll give you a name if I beat you"

The blindfolded woman her aura now filled with malice and rage as her lips arcs up into a vicious smile revealing her shark like teeth as they both disappear from sight but with flashes of red and black and the whispering sound and the sparks of their blades clashing

Para looking back panting heavily before looking at the chared body of the beastman

As he launches to himself "they really going at it"he said to himself before his eyes wide in shock as he feels a burst of ether from the beastman who as mysteriously healed

"It's beginning,the time as come for her divine light to shine on us all and destroy the plague that is humanity"beastman said his voice deep and a growl as his arms grow a deep orange that seems to become like beat claws

Flaming beast magic scrounging bear claws

Para attempting to jump back is slashed by the arm as he throws a card straight into beastman chest that explodes with a purple flame

Para now kneeling down begins to think about the sudden change in the beastman ether and the thickness in his aura he looks down at his hand "an attack that not only cuts but burns your opponent your full of surprises"the cards between his fingers turn into duel sided throwing knives as he smiles

Beastman dusting the flames marely laughs as he stares at Para his eyes becoming serpent like "do you think mare parlour tricks will work on me foolish human"we with a blur of motion he appears infront of Para who steps back narrowly avoiding a bear claw to the face

Para throwing his knives attempts toake some distance between himself and the beastman,Para began to wonder what is with the sudden change in the beastman but then he sees a small string that glows a white he looks back to see the string leafs to the blindfolded woman but before he react beastman punches his side breaking three of his ribs and sending him flying into a group of pillars

Beastman laughing but then groans in pain as his left arm turns a deep purple just like the flames Para through at him,pats his voice weak "trick magic:idle death cursed Gambit"

The area around them distorts as it takes on the appearance of a magician's stage,Para holding a wand in his left hand breaths heavily "I never throught I'll need to use this against a rat like yourself*

Beastman his face turning to one of rage and confusion as he rushes towards Para and shouts"what trickery is this!!!!!!!",Para smiling tips his wand in the air as beastman is suddenly binded with chains

"Idle death cursed Gambit this is a curse I gift towards you that as marked you with a fate beyond death, but what's death without a bit of drama"

Beastman veins popping from his orange eyes as he feels his heart step a beat,he is then dropped into a pit of water

"This spell curses my opponent to become my magic assistant while slowly draining their life force but the cost of using it is it slowly corrupts my ether core"Para thought weighing the cost of his choice and the prolong damage it will do to him

Outside the spell Draugur looking to the side sees a massive barrier binded to the ground by chains and runes on,his expression turns from determination to confusion as he senses that the spell belongs to Para

"What did kinda spell is that "but stumbles to the side to his injuries he grabs his right shoulder that as been deeply slashes by the blindfolded woman scythe but before he can get an opportunity to rest winged eyes faster then the eye can see fly towards him, Draugur attempts to slash them but his eyes widen as they glow brightly and explode

Draugur jumping out of the smoke back flips dodging pillars of earth raising from the ground along with slashes of wind, Draugur growling grabs onto a root as he points at the blindfolded woman with his blade and unleashs multiple dark energy slashes towards, Draugur began to in think that the blindfolded woman is using Eren, Lyra and ravens powers against him only to see flaming arrows flying towards the blindfolded woman

He looks to the direction of the arrows to see Lisa with wounds that seemed to have been coursed by a would animal and with a worried and slightly annoyed tone shouts "were did you come from and are you okay you seem a bit edgy"

Lisa her shout with a slight growl"I'm fine just got caught between a few demons that's all"she continued to fire at the blindfolded woman and shoots down her winged eyes as the blindfolded woman growls"what gave you the right to interfere with our battle"

Before Lisa can react a mist of blood comes from the blindfolded woman as her codex turns it's page and a clone of the blindfolded woman froms and Attacks Lisa

Life magic: genetic clone

Draugur watching the clone and Lisa fly out of the cave looms down and mutters"how am I even flying but it's more like I'm walking mid air",in truth Draugur subconsciously focused his ether into his feet in order to increase movement and mimic wind magic users ability to fly

The blindfolded woman staring at Draugur

"His a troublesome little human able to learn and adapt quickly and it's most likely the time he sent here made him more powerful then before....her throught drifts off back to Draugur earlier questions about her name,the question seems to echo in her mind as memories of blurred people flashed in her mind

The blindfolded woman roars out followed by a massive glow that seems to create a pillar in the sky and turn the moon a bloody red

"You humans,you honestly think I'll forgive any of you for the way you have treated us like monsters no way in hell"hissed the blindfolded woman her voice distorted and muffled by the high concentration of ether
