"The world will crumble once the seventy-two pillars have fallen"
*Mayu*
"Who are you?" Boukyaku said as he collapsed to the ground
"I am a beast that's lived for a thousand years. That your pathetic race would ever think of trapping me is inconceivable but you did it even if it was for a short time. For trapping me, I'll kill you all, starting with you Kyuu Seishinians! This woman will see those she cared about the most be destroyed before her eyes."
"NO," I said mentally.
Lucette appeared out of the woods and grabbed me with strings of light. "Give Mayu back her body."
"Stay away!" Boukyaku yelled. He coughed out blood. "I'll handle this."
"So this woman has replace Mayu," the snake whispered into Boukyaku's ear. "Mayu loved you so much that she even gave up on you to save your life." She used her tail to throw Boukyaku at Lucette. "Keep him, he's worthless now." My body stopped moving. "You dare to put up a fight?"
"I will kill you," I said. I summoned a needle. "Even if I have to sacrifice my own life to save his and the others', I'll do it. Living has no meaning without them."
Boukyaku reached his arm out. "Don't, Mayu... don't sacrifice anything else for me." Tears stained his cheeks. "Gods..."
"I'm sorry," I said, taking back control over my body. I stabbed myself, but the needle cracked due to the Seven Star snake's scales around me.
"You fool!" The serpent's laugher revibrated throughout the forest. "You truly thought you could beat me with that dingy thing? You had your chance and lost it."
"Adama!" a voice chanted.
A diamond wall covered me.
Haroun came out of the woods and made his diamond barrier stronger.
The Seven Star serpent destroyed the barrier by swinging her tail around like a sword.
"Nothing in this world is harder than my scales," the serpent said. My body transformed completely into its snake form.
It slithered over to Haroun and grabbed him. "Mayu, you hate foreigners don't you? Well I'll give you the pleasure of killing this one."
Haroun stared at me defiantly.
Vita hit me with a yari, but it snapped as soon as it touched my skin. My tail whipped her multiple times.
Luckily she resisted all of them, having turned her arms as hard as still. Still, blood began to trickle down. The Seven Star Serpent wasn't joking when she her scales were tough.
"Help me," I yelled out.
"Need help?" a mysterious voice called out.
I looked up and saw a pink haired girl standing in front of me. She moved past me like a spirit.
"I'll save you, Mayu. I understand your pain a little... I almost killed someone out of hatred too. No, I have killed out of revenge, back when I was a child."
"Are you a goddess? No, you're Xian's priestess," I said after getting a better look of her eyes.
The girl smiled as she encased me in a bright light.
I looked back and saw the Seven Star snake fall into the pit. The thing slithered towards the priestess, rage in her eyes. "Who do you think you are?"
The girl glared back at the snake. If anything, her ruby-red eyes were more bone chilling the the serpent's eyes.
