Descent of a God

Home

|Third POV|

Anarchy reigned supreme in the heart of Alacarya as the once-celebrated Victoriad event descended into a harrowing spectacle of carnage. What was meant to be a grand display of the continent's power and the Vritras' magnificence had transformed into a chaotic bloodbath.

Astonishingly, a single figure stood against the might of the five most formidable Vritras. This figure, considered a mere lesser entity in the eyes of the Vritras, defied all expectations by overpowering them.

With unparalleled agility and precision, he effortlessly manoeuvred through their onslaught of spells, swiftly dismantling some while gracefully evading others. His tactics were calculated, his strikes precise, as he systematically weakened and inflicted gradual injuries upon the four Sovereigns and the High Sovereign.

Jude's mastery of battle technique transcended any conventional notion of perfection. It was a display of sheer artistry as he flawlessly harnessed the delicate balance of mana and aether, orchestrating a symphony of power and precision that led to the resounding defeat of the five Vritras.

The once invincible adversaries lay defeated, their collective might shattered by the unparalleled skill of a lesser being. The gasps of the crowd echoed through the arena, their disbelief etched on every face as they witnessed the impossible unfold before their eyes.

With an air of quiet determination, Jude advanced toward Agrona, who struggled to rise from the ground. His grip tightened around Agrona's neck as he effortlessly lifted him, his eyes locked with a mixture of defiance and contempt.

"Is that the best you have to offer, Agrona?" Jude's voice dripped with contempt as he taunted his adversary. Agrona squirmed in his grasp, but his struggles were futile.

The lifeless bodies of the four Sovereigns lay strewn across the battlefield, testaments to Jude's overwhelming power. There was no one left who could come to Agrona's aid.

A wicked smile played upon Jude's lips as he beckoned, and the Scythe materialized by his side. Agrona's eyes widened with a mix of fury and betrayal, realizing the depth of his defeat.

"Seris," Jude commanded, his voice resonating with authority. "Seize control of Alacarya without delay. There is no force in Alacarya that you cannot overcome. I will personally deal with the Asuras in Taegrin Caelum and ensure their destruction."

With a nod of understanding, Seris vanished, swiftly carrying out her assigned task. As her presence faded, Jude turned his attention towards the Taegrin Caelum.

With a swift motion, he forcefully snapped off the Vritra's mighty horns, severing the source of his power. Agrona's expression contorted in agony, realizing the devastating blow he had just suffered.

Without a moment's hesitation, Jude's hand surged forward, piercing through the Vritra's chest. As his hand made contact with Agrona's core, a surge of primal energy pulsed through his fingers, symbolizing the end of the Vritra's reign. The room filled with a palpable silence as Agrona's life force faded, his body crumpling in defeat.

Jude's face remained stoic, his actions a testament to his resolve. With the fall of Agrona, the final remnants of the Vritras' tyranny were extinguished, leaving no doubt of their ultimate defeat.

The air crackled with a mix of relief and finality, as the weight of this crucial victory settled upon Jude's shoulders. It was a bittersweet triumph, marked by the necessity of sacrifice and the undeniable cost of war.

In that moment, the room held an indescribable stillness, as if the echoes of the battle reverberated through the very fabric of existence. And as Jude withdrew his hand, his gaze hardened, his conviction unwavering. The world would never be the same again.

The once magnificent castle of Taegrin Caelum crumbled under the relentless assault of the raging purple flames. The grandeur of the Vritras' stronghold was reduced to a smoldering ruin, bearing witness to the devastation wrought upon it. The lifeless bodies of fallen Vritras littered the ground, their once-proud forms withered and disintegrating, consumed by the voracious flames of my vivum.

"It is done," I declared, my voice filled with a resolute finality. Seris and Cordelia materialized beside me, their expressions reflecting a mixture of triumph and exhaustion, having accomplished their respective missions.

"Seris, assume control of Alacarya," I commanded with unwavering authority. "Cordelia and I will return to Dicathen. The time has come to bring an end to Kezess Indrath."

Seris nodded solemnly, her voice filled with genuine gratitude as she spoke, "Jude... I want to express my deepest gratitude for all that you have done. Though it may not hold the same weight for you, your actions have freed Alacarya from the insidious grasp of the Vritras. For that, I am truly thankful."

Her words carried a profound sincerity, acknowledging the significance of my role in liberating her people from the clutches of oppression. The weight of her gratitude was palpable, a testament to the impact my efforts had made on the lives of those affected.

I met her gaze with a gentle smile, appreciating the depth of her words. "Seris, the freedom and well-being of the people of Alacarya were always important to me," I replied earnestly. "To witness their liberation and offer them a chance at a brighter future is a reward in itself. Your thanks mean a great deal to me."

The connection between us, forged through shared trials and the pursuit of a common goal, was reaffirmed in that moment. Together, we had fought against tyranny and restored hope to a land burdened by darkness. Seris's expression softened, a glimmer of newfound hope shining in her eyes, as we prepared to face the final chapter of our arduous journey.

With a warm smile, I turned to Cordelia. Extending my hand towards her, I invited her with genuine excitement, "Cordelia, would you do me the honor of meeting my family?"

Her eyes sparkled with delight, mirroring the infectious smile that graced her lips as she gracefully accepted my hand. The air crackled with anticipation as I channeled the power of spatium, activating its teleportation ability.

Homecoming had never felt so exhilarating.

My heart raced like a stallion as I dashed through the opulent corridors of the palace, the sheer intensity of the ambient mana propelling me forward. I had sensed a familiar mana signature—a presence I never thought I would feel again. It could only mean one thing: he was back.

A grin of unadulterated joy stretched across my face, my lips curling upward as I anticipated the long-awaited reunion. And there he was, standing before me, turning his head in my direction. His emerald eyes sparkled with delight, mirroring the elation I felt in my own heart.

His arms opened wide, ready to envelop me in a warm embrace, but my elation was abruptly halted as my gaze shifted beyond him. There, standing in the background, was a pink-haired woman. But she was no ordinary woman. Her figure boasted ample curves, her stature radiated elegance, and her face possessed a flawless beauty that seemed to defy mortal standards. Yet, what caught my attention were the two black horns gracefully curving from her head, a captivating detail that added an aura of mystique to her allure.

In that moment, an unsettling realisation struck me like a bolt of lightning. The connection between Jude and this woman surpassed mere friendship. My senses tingled with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.

"Jude Leywin," I spoke, my voice laced with an undercurrent of tension, as I grounded my feet firmly on the floor. The air around me crackled with the power of my ice magic, encircling me like a protective shield. "Who is that woman behind you?"
