^She's getting stronger, and rapidly...^ Jordan jumped from left to right and blasted rida's demons with a massive divine smite round kick before lunging at her. He kept eyes on Eris all the ti, he couldn't underestimate another demi-god.
Aella fired a blindingly fast arrow at him, but he caught it and threw it back at ryem, all while tanking several hits from Betty. They all knew that great magic wouldn't work on him, they needed Eris to deliver the finishing blow.
As Eris's divine power kept rising, she and Jordan quickly outscaled everyone else, even rida started finding it hard to keep up with them.
"rlin! Can't you teleport him around?" rida yelled as she barely dodged a divine blast from a swing from Jordan.
"I can't do that, he's a divine being. He's nearly impossible to teleport against his will." rlin replied, "That's also because I don't understand how divine magic works, I'm neither a god nor an angel."
"If we can't teleport then we should be able to trap him." Mira said as she looked around, "Give so wood." She pulled a saw, her hamr, and a bunch of nails.
"What are you trying to do?" rlin stared at her.
"You managed to make this labyrinth and pull him inside, we can't forcibly change his location, but we can trap him. Using that sa logic, I want to create a box with a barrier for you to coat the inside and fill it with a layer of this labyrinth. We can trap him inside to buy so ti." Mira smiled.
"Ti for what?" rlin waved her hand and pulled so wood from her magic pocket.
"Ti for to create a forge. Using the compressed stone, cursed tal, Tempo fire, Eris's plasma, Lydia's curse, Betty's powerful light, and Aella's air. She smiled, I'm confident we can cook a god."
"So..." Abel giggled, "Trap him in a box to buy ti, then mage a powerful force and throw him inside to burn."
"If she can make it." Jack shook his head, "Is it that easy to make such a thing?"
"It's not. I doubt it'll be stable; a few minutes is probably all we'll get. Making the artifact isn't the hard part, making it last is. Buy a minute." She smiled.
"Eris! Hold on for a minute!" rlin sent a ssage and Eris shouted back. "You bet!" Her divine magic had started stagnating at 24658DP but it's slowly increasing, but that was enough to hold back against Jordan who doesn't have a fighting oriented.
Mira lifted her hamr and swung it down at a nail on the wood, sparking with magic with each hit. She sat on her desk alone behind everyone else, engrossed in her work, like a god focusing on his creation, her concentration reached its peak as she slowly pieced the box together with rlin's magic circles.
Creating the box itself wasn't that hard, she had created hundreds and thousands of them, and each room she furnished had needed at least one. But engraving the magic circles was the hard part, she had to write it on the wood using a chisel while slowly dripping it in magic water, all above a circle of rlin's magic and lastly, integrate a power source in the form of a magic crystal.
In the anti, the fight had taken a bad turn. Eris's divine magic had completely stopped increasing, and she could feel what she got from Arad fluctuating. And then out of nowhere, all of it disappeared, leaving back at the starting point.
Eris gasped, "What did happen?!" She cried as Jordan punched her in the face hard enough that he sent her flying. ryem and rida engaged him in a close fight, but he was slowly getting used to them and growing faster and faster. Even Betty's light fast and powerful attacks seed to quickly lose all of their power, they were the ones getting tired first.
The main three aspects of a god's power are their immortality, infinite energy, and dominion over mortals. Jordan is a demi-god, a near-immortal being with seemingly bottomless mana, but he lacks the ability to dominate mortals, as he isn't a true god yet.
"Everyone!" rlin shouted as she sensed a large burst of mana in the desert. "Arad is going berserk! His mana suddenly spiked to dangerous levels and he ca all the way here in the blink of an eye! The area outside the labyrinth had been burned to the ground, all life in a hundred-kiloter radios had been erased." She cried, "He's facing another being with almost twenty tis Jordan's divine power. I suspect that's a true god!"
Everyone froze for a second and Eris growled, "That's why..." Arad doesn't have the ti or luxury to entertain her anymore, he has a bigger fight on his hands.
Jordan took the chance and lunged at Eris with a large smile on his face, "Give your portfolio!" She swung his fist in her chest, aiming to rip her heart off.
Between then, Mira appeared out of nowhere swinging her massive sledgehamr, she teleported in using rlin's dominion over the labyrinth.
Jordan dodged the hit at the last mont and grabbed her by the neck, lifting her up. "What a strange hamr, did you enchant it with sothing that can harm ?" She lifted his arm and pierced her chest, "No matter how perfect your timing is, you will never touch a god." Mira smiled as blood gushed from her mouth, "Now...we're even...you also know how to make holes..." Her face shifted, and that was Abel. As Jordan gasped, Abel imdiately wrapped his legs and wings around him, "Got him!" He scread, burning with curses to prevent Jordan from running away.
The real Mira appeared behind them with the box in her hand and threw it beside them, "Sorry Abel! You said it!" She yelled as the box flashed with light and absorbed them both.
Mira clapped her hands and a massive stone furnace appeared out of nowhere. "I already love this labyrinth." rlin allowed Mira to pull this out of her magic pocket at will and teleport them around.
"Eris! I want plasma, a lot of it. Aella, added your air to make it burn hotter; Betty, I want all the light you can dish out, burn him to ash. Amber, you've recovered so do your best, the sa for you rlin. Lastly, Lydia hit him with the fattest, anest, and largest divine attack you've got." Mira clapped her hands and everyone teleported to surround the furnace.
"Cook him alive!" Mira smiled and everyone got to work.
"What about Abel?" Eris growled, "He'll die!"
"Don't worry about him." rlin shouted as she teleported to them, which was a risky move, if she was hard, the whole labyrinth would collapse. "Abel is a devil, he can take a beating, get cooked once or twice. He'll die here and resurrect back in hell." Devils killed in the mortal world are sent back to the nine hells, where they can fully regain their power and co to the
mortal world again.
Mira threw the box into the furnace and everyone blasted it, she even threw a few bombs in there and the furnace got locked behind a ten-layered barrier.
As the heat rushed out, everyone felt like they were about to burn to ash just from standing nearby. Tempo waved his massive hands above them and created a fire barrier to protect them, "Just keep blasting him. He'll eventually fail to heal and die. He isn't a true god, he can't survive this for long." He said, breathing fla into the furnace.
After a minute and a half of cooking on high heat, the furnace cracked, it had reached its limit. "It won't last!" Mira yelled, "Get ready to run away. We don't know if he's alive or not." This was all they had, unlike him, they were mortals who could feel exhaustion.
"I hope he's dead." Eris sighed.
"Don't say that...he'll..." Jack gasped, feeling the red flag.
As the furnace crumbled down, Jordan flew out with a clenched fist, "This isn't enough!" He swung at Mira's face, "You! You're the bitch behind those bombs and seals, you're dangerous,
you must die!"
All the girls rushed to protect her, they were all out of mana, and all they could do was stand
in the way.
Jordan's fist landed with a large boom, flashing with divine magic. "Closer to death I've sensed it, the truth of my greed! I'll steal your everything, wealth, knowledge, life, and magic, fall to my hands, pitiful mortals!"
The girls looked around, confused at what happened, noticing they were engulfed in a large shadow. As Jordan's divine light faded, the massive black humanoid beca apparent. Arad had his wives engulfed in his wings and took the hit to the back.
"Arad? Is that you?" Eris gasped, "You look like a lizard!"
"Doma used my draconic soul to maintain my human form, that's why I look like this." He replied with a smile, patting her head. "You can rest now. I'm here, everything is fine." "Who are...wait, you're Arad, aren't you? I've heard of you." Jordan growled, thinking of a way
to run. He had heard that Arad was a problem and wasn't willing to test him now that he saw
how powerful his wives were.
Arad slowly glared back at him, "Give it back." He growled with rage.
