Chapter 132: The First Magic
Kurtz's gaze fixed on the Life Goddess's upper body, specifically on the heart area covered by black mud.
There, within that seemingly endless darkness, a faint golden light flickered weakly.
Though tiny, that light emitted an unyielding radiance, completely out of place with the surrounding corruption.
"The Life Goddess's original divine power!"
Kurtz's heart trembled, and he instantly understood.
This body, after all, belonged to the Life Goddess.
Even when occupied by the Fertility Goddess, and even when thoroughly corroded by darkness, at the very core of her divine essence, there still remained the purest power belonging to the Life Goddess.
And this light had not completely died.
While guiding Kurtz toward victory, it even produced a faint resonance with Orger in his hand.
"Serie! Look at her chest!" Kurtz shouted with all his might, while desperately using Orger to block the vines. "There's still light there! There's still the Life Goddess's original divine power! Aim your attack there!"
Serie heard him and focused her gaze.
Her sight instantly penetrated the black mud on the Life Goddess's body, precisely pinpointing the faint light Kurtz pointed to.
"Is this the power left behind by the Life Goddess?" Serie murmured to herself.
She understood that only by attacking this source of divine power could she severely wound the deity embracing darkness before her.
But HOW?
Ordinary magical and physical attacks would be completely ineffective, being either swallowed or deflected by the darkness around the Life Goddess before they could even get close.
Just then, a ray of sunlight fell upon her face.
Serie looked up and saw that the tear in the sky, created by the God's Lock, had not yet disappeared, and the Godfall Land, enveloped by endless black mist, finally welcomed the long-awaited sunlight.
Feeling that warmth, an extremely risky idea formed in her mind.
It was magic Kurtz had taught her long ago, and also the ultimate attack he used during his first battle with the demon race.
Devour the light and then release it again!
Determination erupted in Serie's eyes, for they no longer had time to hesitate.
"Buy me some time!"
Serie instructed Kurtz and Olivia, then completely abandoned all defenses, pouring all her attention and magic into this spell.
As the magic circles around her continued to unfold, pure power began to gather around her.
The surrounding air instantly grew heavy, and light seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, beginning to dim; everyone could clearly feel their vision starting to darken.
"This is...!?" Eric, while desperately hacking at the incoming vines, looked at Serie in astonishment.
He could feel that at Serie's location, light was rapidly disappearing.
Even Olivia cast a puzzled glance, as she could clearly perceive that the holy light she had been continuously releasing, which could purify black mud, also seemed to be constantly drawn into the elf's magic.
Compared to the others who were still somewhat confused, Kurtz completely understood Serie's intention.
After all, the magic she was about to use was one he had personally created.
So, without any hesitation, he gave her all his trust and support.
Orger in his hand burst forth with dazzling radiance, drawing the Fertility Goddess's attention entirely to it, buying Serie that crucial moment.
The Life Goddess's eyes were fixed intently on Kurtz; even though her will had been swallowed by darkness, she still remembered this God-Slayer before her, and harbored infinite killing intent toward him.
Moreover, since he had made himself so conspicuous, she directly abandoned attacking the others and directed all her attacks toward Kurtz.
Just like a world-ending black tsunami, it slammed down fiercely toward Kurtz's small body!
Just as Kurtz's figure was about to be completely swallowed by darkness—
Serie's magic was finally completed.
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a peculiar eeriness that made one's soul tremble.
Centered on Serie, a sphere of darkness silently appeared and began to expand rapidly.
Wherever it passed, whether it was the light from Kurtz's holy sword, the holy light released by Olivia's magic, or even the few rays of sunlight in this space, all were forcibly swallowed.
The entire battlefield instantly plunged into darkness, like the chaos at the beginning of the universe, where nothing could be seen.
And in this darkness, Serie seized the opportunity to launch her attack.
She aimed at the remnant power of the Life Goddess deep within the Fertility Goddess's heart, and then began to compress it continuously.
The black sphere, which had swallowed all light, transformed under Serie's guidance into a Light Spear, black on the outside but fundamentally the most sacred power.
Then the Light Spear was projected by Serie!
Ignoring the obstruction of the black mud on the Life Goddess's periphery, it pierced into the Fertility Goddess's chest with incredible precision, at a speed surpassing light.
Puff!
A barely audible soft sound.
Immediately after—
Boom!!!
The Light Spear struck the light in the Fertility Goddess's heart, erupting instantly like a spark thrown into an oil depot!
However, this explosion was not earth-shattering; instead, all the destructive power was confined within the Fertility Goddess's body, which had fallen into darkness.
At the same time, the Fertility Goddess's body became a scene of complete destruction internally.
The original divine power left by the Life Goddess, coupled with Serie's attack that gathered all light, erupted within the Life Goddess's body with overwhelming force.
"Ugh Ah Ah Ah!!!"
The Life Goddess let out a wail as if her soul was being torn apart.
Her lower body, made of viscous black mud, began to twitch violently, and within her body, pure white light began to consume all the essence of darkness.
Wherever it passed, the ominous black mud vanished at visible speed, as if thrown into a furnace.
Even the vines, which were vast enough to cover the sky and resembled a black tsunami, began to crumble inch by inch into dust due to the injury of their controller.
Ultimately, only a few vines remained, offering futile resistance.
The Fertility Goddess, who had originally been swallowed by black mud and completely embraced darkness, temporarily broke free from the corruption with this one blow, and a hint of clarity emerged in her black eyes.
The consequence was also very obvious; she reverted to the state she was in when she was first severely wounded by Norn, as if the previous scene of embracing darkness was a dream, with only a little black mud on her legs, now back to a normal human lower body, proving that everything that just happened was not a dream.
Since the Fertility Goddess had lost the power of darkness, the God's Lock also re-emitted light, and the cracks on the chains began to self-repair, continuing to bind the Life Goddess's body firmly.
