Scarblade Goddess

CHAPTER 39

[OUROBOROS ABSOLUTE]

Miro's and Yumine's very sights were witnessing that the three life-less looking humans were standing inside the huge crystallized diamond pods. From when the three humans were standing, there were purple glowing magical pentagrams. More so, there were floating obsidian and opal fragments around the three. Soon, the purple pentagrams illuminated to their brightest radiance and burst out a very cold air. As the glaring light ceased, there were three pillars of frozen violet pillars that had replaced the humans inside the pod. Rather, the lifeless humans were frozen in an instant. Miro just looked away with disgust and pity, for the case of the three humans. While for Yumine, her knees fell on the ground. Then, she expressed with saddened tears, while she was looking at the awry sight,

"N-no...".

It seemed that the humans were turned into purple cylindrical blocks of ice. Later on, the magic-infused floating monochromatic crystals radiated to their highest brightness. The frozen purple pillars were melting gradually. Instead of making a huge puddle on the slated floor, the purple liquid was streaming along the crevices of the polished floor. As the purple liquid continued to flow along the network, it made a symbol of a menacing Ouroboros. A serpent that was eating its own tail, while it was presenting a form of eternity through it's circular depiction. It appeared, that the city's power source came from the lives of their citizens. In turn, the symbol of an Ouroboros had truly represented the cruel hidden truth about their city. For some reason, Yumine's tears won't stop pouring out, as she had seen much more gruesome and morbid through her divine sight. Through her Goddess vision, she was seeing that the humans' delicate and wispy-like souls had disintegrated and exploded into tiny fragments, as they were melted into purple liquid. It seemed that turning humans into frozen purple pillars, froze their souls as well. Afterwards, when they're being melted down through extreme heat, their souls disintegrate in the process. Yumine was deep in her thoughts,

"This is just too cruel.".

Though, Yumine felt that doing nothing wouldn't save them, so she steeled herself and stood up. She brushed away her tears, and she was now expressing a raging and serious look. She turned to her left and asked Miro,

"Let's end their suffering, Miro...".

Miro had stopped looking away and he replied back with conviction,

"Yeah.".

Both of them cleared their sadness. Soon, Miro and Yumine resumed on rushing along the aisle. They were now clearly seeing the pudgy and putrid-looking mayor at the center. Not only that, his life-less citizens were listening to his motivational yet, twisted campaign speech,

"My citizens, it is that time of the year again, for us to sacrifice one of our beloved ones for the prosperity and survival of this city. Yet, do not fret, for their sacrifices will not be in vain, as their AMAZING ENERGIES shall spread along our sacred waters. In order for us to harvest the ABSOLUTE ENERGY! ".

As Miro and Yumine were almost near the center stage, a magic barrier had blocked them suddenly. There after, Iblyth appeared behind them and she fluttered her dagger-like feathers at Miro and Yumine. Thankfully, Miro and Yumine were able to dodge them just in time. Yumine tried to break through the impervious barrier but, nothing happened. In turn, Yumine was pissed-off in her deep thoughts,

"HOW DO THESE FALLENS GET HOLD OF THESE?!".

Soon, Iblyth brought out her steel fanblade on her one hand. As for Yumine, she unsheathed her pink rapiers. While for Miro, he brought out his portable and extendable steel polearm. The air turned intense as the three of them were ready to clash. Soon, Iblyth expressed herself with a sarcastic smile,
