Will of chaos



Thanks to Navar's power we were able to move from one side to the other making several teleportation jumps, as she didn't know this solar system it had to be only as far as we could see, which is already a long distance for someone like her. 

It took us several hours, but we still managed to arrive in half a day, the first thing I saw was the distant explosions, I thought it was the battle that had already started, but I was wrong. 

The planet in question had an asteroid belt, using Lesser Familiars that I invoked, I could see that there were weapons on several asteroids, the explosions we were seeing was the Wave of Monsters against this planet's security system. 

The monsters in question appeared to be mostly insects of all sizes, but they moved like an army in various military formations. 

The way they attacked was also cautious, setting up a strong defense at the front while those with ranged attacks destroyed the weapons from a safe place. 

None of these insects looked like humanity, but since that battle last year, I know they must be hiding. 

The defenses wouldn't last long and I imagine that once all the weapons are destroyed they will start to descend on the planet for a direct attack. 

"Are you going to follow your daughter's plan?" (Navar) 

"For now yes, but I would like you to put up a barrier at that time." (I) 

"Are you sure? A barrier that big will stop the monsters, but it will also stop the others from getting to you." (Navar) 

"No problem, this time I have an escape route." (I) 

I look at the magic crystal being taken by Freya, then I touch my necklace making Hinata leave, then I transmit her mission and she disappears. 

"We're just going to have one chance, are you sure you don't want to change your approach?" (Navar) 

"If we attack from behind we can eliminate a large part of their forces in an ambush." (Navar) 

"Our targets are those big 5... what should I call this monstrosity?" (I) 

Amongst the sea of insects there were 5 large creatures that looked grotesque, had rectangular shapes kilometers long, had metal scale armor around them, and had 4 tails or perhaps tentacles of flesh whose tips had formed into weapons firing energy beams purple, it also has dozens of eyes in all directions around it, its scales open revealing holes throughout its structure from which more monstrous insects emerge. 

This thing wasn't a ship, it was a spaceship-shaped creature, all 5 large structures that Nicole assumed were spaceships are actually these colossal creatures. 

The insects also looked different, they all had a stark white eye somewhere on their forward facing body, and their Auras looked strange from what I could sense from the Lesser Familiars. 

Their Auras are all connected in the same way as I remember the battle I had last year, but the difference is that the Death Locusts are not the only ones present, I could also feel a difference in all of them, I could feel the presence of the same kind of blood in all of them, it wasn't a lineage, it was some kind of blood that I didn't understand and that for some reason made me angry. 

"Get ready, tell everyone." (I) 

"Yes, Zenos." (Sophia) 

Sophia ran into my shadow accompanied by a Fairy crossing the Fairy Gate in my shadow, shortly after Miriam appears accompanying Nix from within my shadow. 

"I'm ready." (Miriam) 

"You only get one chance." (I) 

"Mister Rakan explained to me what I should do, it was also adjusted for me." (Miriam) 

"After doing that I will retreat as ordered." (Miriam) 

"I hope so because the anger in your Aura bothers me." (I) 

"..." (Miriam) 

Miriam has been training her Aura diligently throughout the year, unlike when she was infiltrated in our world where she learned only superficially about the Auras in the Guild and the Adventurers, she has been studying with Athena when they were still together and later learned directly from Sophia that she is a Aura Master. 

But no matter how much she trains her Aura, she, like anyone else, is not capable of hiding her Auras from those stronger than them, especially in my case where she is subordinate to me for having performed the Awakening Ceremony with her. 

I can feel her murderous intent being forcibly suppressed, I can feel her Aura bubbling with fury and I can feel the effort she is making to keep herself in check. 

I have come to discover over the course of this year many things about Astrid, Miriam, and their people, I know what these people did in their Universe against their equals and I know what they did to get here. 

Miriam's hatred is more than justified, but the problem with hatred is that it obscures the vision of those who carry it, I can't allow that in the middle of a battle. 

"Come here." (I) 

As she approaches I place two fingers on her forehead and spread my Aura into hers while reinforcing the characteristic Demonic corruption. 

"Don't be consumed by your rage, if you can't quench that rage, then use it to make yourself stronger." (I) 

"Accept this anger, accept this hatred, and accept this desire to kill your enemies." (I) 

"Consume these sensations and emotions to fuel your focus, strengthen your will to make them known fear when you arise." (I) 

"Thank you..." (Miriam) 

I could see her eyes turning red as her once turbulent Aura becomes as cold and hard as an ancient glacier, her eyes as clear as her killing intent is strong now that it is no longer suppressing. 

"Don't thank me, just stay focused." (I) 

"..." (Miriam) 

I place my hand on her shoulder before returning to the front of the Ship, my other Familiars appearing one at a time behind me, all of us watching the enemy in the distance waiting for the moment to strike. 

---------------- 

Pov Nicole: 

I was following the entire initial battle through the sensors and security systems, and all the troops already ready for combat. 

"You don't have to go, I can use your help here." (Astrid) 

"If it were up to me then I wouldn't be going, but I can't ignore a command from Father." (I) 

Zenos wants me to join the battle, but I know he does because I haven't been practicing all year, I'm sure Alice told him I'm skipping even morning practice. 

As a researcher combat training is just a waste of time for me, I don't know what his obsession with training is. 

"I will be controlling the speed ship since Nara will be engaging in direct combat." (I) 

"I've warned you before, be careful, they don't make direct attacks like that, I'm sure they're planning something." (Astrid) 

"I said it doesn't matter, with Zadiris and Navar on our side victory is 100% guaranteed." (I) 

"Shouldn't be so confident…" (Astrid) 

"[Alert! Alert! Alert!]" 

I turn off the alerts while confirming that all orbital weapons have been destroyed, then ready the high-speed ship I've been modifying for the last few months with Astrid's partial permission. 

"Since I have to fight, I might as well test my new creation." (I) 

---------------- 

Pov Zenos: 

I was watching when their Aura started to pulsate, I didn't know what it meant, but before long the Monster Waves took up new positions as they stopped attacking. 

They organize themselves into groups focusing on a specific area of the planet where it coincides with the location of Astrid's base, it seems that they already had the information about the location of the base. 

I keep waiting while the 5 creatures point their guns in the same direction and fire, then the insect army starts descending on the planet one after the other and I prepare myself with a spell along with Layla. 

When the 5 creatures were left alone it was easier to feel the Aura threads coming out of them towards the insect army. 

"Now!" (I) 

"< Teleportation >" (I/Layla) 

"< Space Frontier >" (Navar) 

The entire Ship was teleported close to the 5 creatures at the same time that Navar created a barrier big enough for all 5 creatures along with us, that's when Miriam with her arm already transformed into a cannon with the magic crystal trapped inside her begins her task. 

"< Spatial Separation: Sealing >" (Miriam) 

Suddenly 47 magic circles appear in front of her arm when a ray of blue light comes out of her arm hitting one of the 5 colossal creatures faster than you can see already creating a circular barrier around her trapping her inside. 

The barrier causes the surrounding space to strongly fluctuate, nothing to bother someone with space affinities like me and Navar, our Auras were able to protect the others until the space stabilized. 

Less than 2 seconds later, the spatial sphere where Miriam trapped her target begins to slowly shrink. 

"I take one, you take the other." (I) 

"I'll take one too, my tribe can destroy the last one." (Navar) 

"Let's go!" (I)
