Chapter 639 - Shine As Bright As You Can
The trio\'s consciousness and soul dived into the World\'s Origin Core as the rest of the people outside desperately fought to buy time for them!
Their consciousness dived into the darkness, finding a deep and abyssal chaos trying to consume them right away… like a vicious and corrosive acid!
"Light."
Ervas used his Light Attribute and merged it with Law and Fate, fusing it all together into a powerful Holy Light flash, the darkness weakened and began to fade as they advanced through this endless sea of pure blackness.
As they advanced further through the abyss, more tentacles made of miasma greeted them.
"This place is this the interior of the World\'s Origin Core?" asked Aurora.
"Indeed, the bastard of the Demon God King melded himself with it and began to corrupt it all from the inside, like a parasite, he\'s trying to completely fuse with it… If he manages to do so, he\'ll most likely destroy the world and bring forth the resurrection of Anir and Kelsus! If that happens, all of us are going to die." Said Veronica, fighting through her powers, as she used her Darkness to absorb this darkness like a vacuum, slowly cleaning the interior from this musky nastiness.
"Indeed. It is just as she says… Ah, I can feel it, the Demon God King is at the depths of this place. His presence is powerful, and he\'s expanding… Quickly, let\'s clean this entire place from this soot-like darkness as we go down!"
Ervas began to release bright light everywhere, turning the soot into ashes, Veronica absorbed it as if she were a vacuum cleaner, and Aurora user her bright starlight space element to cleanse the soot by waving her hands and making it disappear and only leave sparkling light behind.
The three figures descended further and further, and the further they descended, the stronger the soot became, roaring monstrously, it even gained more sentience and red-shot eyes, fighting against it was giving them no EXP or anything, it was as if these things were not alive, yet they were.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Their attacks began to disintegrate the soot, diving deeper.
It seemed as if this sea of darkness was infinite. Was there a way to even escape it? It was as if the Demon God King was producing a large shield made of darkness, this shield made it constantly flow with darkness. The only way to delve deeper was to destroy it, but it kept pushing forward and producing endlessly as it used the energy of the core itself to fuel its power.
The trio continued to fight back against it, but the darkness was winning.
Aurora suddenly realized that an opening could be made if they were to release a large ray of brightness, but one should stay behind.
Of course, she knew she had to do this job.
"Alright you two, you\'re going down."
Aurora grabbed the split soul\'s consciousness and soul parts, as she wrapped them up.
"A-Aurora?!"
"What are you doing?!"
"The obvious choice that a good friend has to do! Of course, now… Go down and beat that bastard, alright?" she asked with a smile, as she gathered all her power and divine energy she could muster!
"W-Wait!"
"You can\'t… You can\'t do this!"
"We can do it together, we still can…!"
"Kireina!"
"I told you that my name is Aurora, get it? Never forget it." Said Aurora with a bright smile, as her starlight power began to gather into a tremendous flash of light!
"NOW GO!!!" she roared, as the monstrous darkness got closer and closer, a flashing bright light like nothing they had ever seen before was released, like a flashing beam of starlight, consuming all the darkness within!
FLAAAAAAAAAASSSSSHHHH!
BOOOOOMMMM!!!
The darkness shrieked in agony as the flashing light carried the split souls within, penetrating all the darkness and reaching the furthest part of this abyssal darkness!
The split souls looked like Aurora smiled back, her entire body was too weakened, she was fading apart, and the darkness reached her, beginning to consume her… She had used almost all of her soul\'s power to carry them down the darkness.
"Take care of Ditoyle… Tell her that I love her and my child… Okay?"
"W-WAIT!"
"NOO!"
Aurora began to be consumed by the darkness, as she fought back bravely, to the very second.
However…
She slowly faded away.
Her memories bubbled through her last bits of consciousness.
She was born as a mere clone of someone else.
Yet she had experienced so many new things… She had done so much.
She became a completely different person. And she named herself too.
She even had a wife, and a child…
She began to cry sorrowfully. She couldn\'t help but fear death so much.
But she had to put on a brave fa?ade, so she could show them that despite her weaknesses, she was someone willing to give her life for them.
"Violet… Ditoyle… I\'m sorry…"
Aurora\'s last bits were devoured by the darkness, she was torn apart…
Until nothing remained.
Tears began to flow out of the eyes of the split souls\' Astral Projections, as they flew down below through the darkness, their emotions were bubbling with rage and frustration!
Why? Why did she had to do that…?!
However, she had done it because she knew it was the right thing to do.
She could do it, if she gathered all her power and gave a last blast of power down below, leading the two split souls to their main goal, the Demon God King.
The bright starlight carried the last remains of Aurora within, her embrace carried them down through the endless darkness, reaching its very depths.
"Aurora…"
"I am not going to forgive him…"
"E-Ervas?"
"We are going to DEVOUR THAT BASTARD!" roared Ervas, showing off an anger he had never showed before, something completely contrasting his expressionless and calm behavior!
Aside from a tremendous sorrow, there was also a deep hatred growing inside of them!
BOOOM!!!
Suddenly, the two reached the floor, releasing a shockwave of bright starlight, the last remnant of Aurora, which dissipated the darkness around them.
And what greeted them was a young blonde boy, with sharp red eyes.
"So you got here…"
