Chapter 11 The Corruption (part 2)
No One's POV
Everyone is currently standing looked completely and utterly shocked that Revis had just attacked Olivas. Olivas still looking at Revis shocked that his own teammate attacked him.
Olivas: Re...vis what are...?!
Revis: I need more power. That's all. No matter how manny Violas I eat, it doesn't amount to much.
Olivas: Wait! I'm a human chosen by "her" just like you...!
Revis: Chosen...? Do you think that thing's a goddess or something? There's no way that thing is a empyreal existence. You and me... We are just its tentacles.
Olivas: Are you seriously going to kill your only comrade?! If i'm not there, you can't pro-
Before Olivas could finished his sentence, Revis quickly pull out his magic stone and Olivas body quickly turned to ash.
Revis: Don't misunderstand. I've always had to protect myself. And I'll keep on doing so.
Revis then ate Olivas magic stone and Sora noticed her eyes started glowing green and he narrowed his eyes and gripped his dual sword tightly.
Revis quickly rushed towards Aiz at an unimaginable speed shocking everyone, but when it almost connect, Sora quickly kicked Revis straight in the face and sent her flying shocking her.
Revis looked at Sora completely and utterly furious and she glared at him.
Revis: You again!!
Sora: Sorry! Your opponent is me now!
Everyone looked completely and utterly shocked at the amount of speed she had.
Bete: What?
Lefiya: Huh?
Asuna: How did she?
Aiz(mind): I didn't even see her move. If Sora hadn't intercept it I would have died!
Sora rushed towards her and the two of them trade swords with one another creating massive shockwave around them and the other looked shocked by the amount of strength Revis got.
Bete: Dang it...!
Aiz: Sora...!
Lefiya: Mister Sora!
Bete and Aiz rushed in to helped him, but Sora told them not to interfere.
Sora: Don't come any closer!
Asuna: She got stronger by eating a magic stone.
Lulune: Is she a strengthened species or something...?!
Asfi: We won't be much of a help in our current state!!
Everyone continued to watched Sora and Revis fought against one another and Sora shouted.
Sora: Don't focus on me! YOU GUYS FOCUS ON THAT JEWEL!! IT'S DEFINITELY AT THE CENTER OF THIS WHOLE INCIDENT.
Everyone looked at the jewel and Asuna quickly rushed in to grabbed it.
Asuna: We need to secure that jewel!!
Before she could reached it, someone kicked her away and grabbed the jewel and everyone looked completely shocked.
Lefiya: Miss Asuna! Are you alright?!
Aiz: So they still have allies?!
Revis looked at her ally and told her to take the jewel away and the person quickly run away taking the jewel.
Bete: Dang It!!
Aiz: TEMPEST!!
Revis: O no you won't!! Viscum! Keep giving birth until you shrivel up!!
The ground started moving and Viscum started producing more plant monsters and everyone looked completely shocked.
Thane: H...Hey
Falgar: Aren't there too many of them...?
Asuna: Is it giving birth through out the entire Pantry..?!
In less than a second, the whole Pantry is covered in Violas and everyone looked completely and utterly shocked at the amount of it.
Aiz: What the...?!
Asuna: A monsters Party! There are around 1000... no, 2000?! Possibly more!
Everyone was quickly surrounded and some of them got separated with one another. Asuna and Aiz were on the east side of the Pantry, Filvis and Lefiya and Bete were on the west side of the Pantry and the whole Hermes Familia was on the South side of the Pantry while Revis and Sora continued to trade swords at the Center of the Pantry.
Revis: Violas!!
Over a hundred Violas rushed towards Sora and Sora quickly cut them down, but Revis rushed towards him and deflect Sora's Kanshou and Bakuya.
Sora(mind): My Swords...!
Sora was about to grabbed his swords, but Revis intercept him and pushed him back.
Revis: I'm not going to let you escape... This is payback from the 18th floor.
At the west side of the Pantry Filvis and Lefiya were being surrounded by over thousand of Violas and one of the Violas slammed itself towards Lefiya and made her stumbled. Lefiya quickly looked up and saw that multiple Violas were rushing towards her and she was terrified.
Lefiya(mind): I can't do anything. Even if I regroup with Miss Filvis. I'll only get in Miss Asuna, and Miss Aiz's way instead of helping them...! If only I could use concurrent chanting, like Miss Filvis and Miss Riveria could...
Lefiya suddenly remembered of what Bete had told her on her way to the 24th floor.
(Flashback)
Bete: As long as you consider magic to be your only trait. You're just going to be a burden yo the other's.
(Present)
Lefiya(mind): He's exactly right.
The Violas continued to rushed towards Lefiya and she was frozen completely horrified, but Bete managed to save her and kill the Violas surrounding them.
Bete: Hey!
Bete walked towards Lefiya and grabbed her shirt and glared at her.
Bete: I'm going to where Aiz and Asuna is. We need to regroup with one another! You do something about the situation here!
Lefiya looked at Bete confused.
Lefiya: Huh? Umm... What?! What?! But... I...
Bete: You're a weakling!! Still, I'll recognize your absurdly strong magic power!! Don't use a cliche phrase out of a weakling like " I want to catch up"!! Show us what you're made of! Try to surpass that Old Hag!
Lefiya eyes widened when she heard Bete said those words and Bete let her go and rushed towards Aiz and Asuna.
Lefiya(mind): Why? Why are you the one to say that...? Neither Miss Aiz nor Miss Asuna or any of the others have said anything like that... They've nevet thought of it either...! To think it was Bete of all people. The person who hates weaklings, look down of people, and says hateful things. That Bete! It's Vexing! Bete's strength which allow him to say such things. The strength which allows him to help Miss Aiz and Miss Asuna. And above all. Myself who can't only lament her own powerlessness. Because of that...!
Lefiya rushed towards Filvis and called out to her and told her to took her to the Hermes Familia and she use "Arcs Ray" to blow the remaining Violas that were surrounding the Hermes Familia. The Hermes Familia looked behind them and saw Lefiya standing atop of a cliff.
Lefiya: Please. Protect me!
Lulune: W...What do you mean by protect?! Even if your magic is strong against these numbers.
Everyone saw that Lefiya was shaking in fear, but she continued to remain strong and she spoke up.
Lefiya: Believe in me!! I'm a mage! I'll save everyone who's protecting me!
Asfi looked at her determination and ordered her Familia members.
Asfi: Everyone surround thousand Elf! We'll leave everything up to her! Circle formation!
Lefiya: Five minutes. No, please hold out for 3 minutes!
Hermes Familia and Filvis: Right!
The rest of the Hermes Familia and Filvis started defending Lefiya with all their might and Lefiya started chanting. Elsewhere on the east side of the Pantry, Aiz and Asuna were holding their rapier and cutting every Violas that were surrounding them.
Asuna: This is not good!!
Aiz: There just to many!! No matter how many we cut they'll just keep coming!!
Asuna: But we can't affords to lose here.
Asuna looked at Aiz and the two of them nodded at each other.
Asuna: AUROS!!
Aiz: TEMPEST!!
Asuna summoned her water and Aiz summoned her wind and the two of them cut around hundreds of Violas and saw that Bete was rushing towards them while killing multiple Violas.
Asuna: Bete!
Aiz: What are you doing here?!
Bete: Shut up! We need to get back! The weaklings are not going to hold out if we don't go!!
Asuna and Aiz nodded and run towards Lefiya and the others. Back with Lefiya, the Hermes Familia was doing their best to cover her, but they were pushed back.
Asfi: Man eating flower reinforcement are coming in from outside the Pantry! They're coming from behind! How long has it been?
Elf ring is a magic that enables Lefiya to use any magic usable by other elves. What Lefiya's summoning is Reveria omnidirectional annihilation magic. Although that spell would be powerful enough to turned the table. The amount of magic power needed increases.
*2 minutes 20 seconds*
Lulune: Aren't you done yet, Lefiya?!
Everyone saw multiple Violas coming from behind them and they thought that this was the end for them, but the Violas were cut down and everyone saw it was Asuna, Aiz, and Bete rushing towards them.
Lulune: Sword Princess! Berserk Healer! Vanargard!!
Asfi: They made it!!
Asuna: Keep Chanting Lefiya!!
Back with Sora, he was being pushed back due to him fighting Revis and multiple Violas without his swords.
Revis: That was pitiful, compared to your sword skills.
Sora (mind): Damn it!
Back with Aiz and the others, they were still being pushed back due to the vast amount of Violas surrounding them and everyone was getting exhausted.
Asuna: We'll do whatever it takes to hold out! Everyone do not falter even for a second!
Everyone: Right!
*RRRRAAARRH*
Everyone heard a massive roar and saw that over thousands of Violas merged into one and gave birth to a new monsters. It looked like a giant snake,
That was about to devour everyone and they all looked completely and utterly shocked.
Asuna: The enemy is gathering in the center!
Lulune: There's no way we can fight that!!
Asuna: They're going to ram into us while we gathered together! Aiz!
Aiz: Right!
Asuna once again summoned Auros and Aiz summoned Tempest, but the two of them were pushed back.
Bete: Damn it!
Everyone was pushed back and they were all on the ground and the Violas rushed towards Lefiya. Due to the vas amount of magic energy her body couldn't move.
Everyone: Lefiya!!
Suddenly the Violas was cut down and everyone saw that it was Kanshou and Bakuya floating in front of Lefiya and they were completely shocked.
Aiz: What the?!
Everyone looked over and saw that Sora was still fight Revis and he held his hand up to move Kanshou and Bakuya and the two swords started rushing and cut every single Violas that were surrounding them.
Sora: KEEP GOING LEFIYA!!
Lefiya didn't stop her chant as tears flowing down her eyes.
Lefiya: MY NAME IS ALF! REA LAEVATEINN!!
A massive fire blast erupt from the ground and obliterate the remaining Violas. And everyone fell to their knees completely exhausted. Lefiya started to pass out, Bete had a broken leg, Asuna and Aiz was barely standing, and the Hermes Familia were on the ground panting.
Revis: Damn you!
Everyone looked over and saw that Sora was on his knees with multiple cut on his body and with Revis standing over him panting.
Everyone: Sora!
Revis: You still don't get it! This is where you die!
Sora:...
Revis slammed her sword towards Sora, but Sora parried with his hand and glared at her and Revis looked at him completely shocked.
Revis: What?!
Sora: The one who doesn't get it here is you!!
Sora then punch Revis in the face and started to speed blitzed and started hitting and punching Revis from every side and everyone looked completely shocked at the amount of speed Sora was showing.
Lefiya: Amazing!
Lulune: Am I the only one seeing this?!
Bete: You gotta be kidding me!
Asfi: What speed and strength!
Asuna: To think she would force Sora to use 30% of his Flashing Strike ability!
Aiz noticed that Sora glanced at her for a moment and continued to attacked Revis. Aiz quickly know what to do at grabbed her rapier and wait for and opening. Revis was being pushed back even more and she was getting infuriated.
Revis: Who are you?! You are nothing like the one I fought a second ago! How did you increase your strength to such amount?!
Sora: You managed to win due to the amount of those plant eating monsters that were attacking me and I had to fight while controlling my swords to protect the others, but now since your alone. You are nothing!
Revis glared at Sora and she was completely furious.
Revis: Even so! You won't be able to settle the fight with just your fist!
Sora smirked at her and she glared at him even more.
Revis: What so funny?!
Sora: Settle the fight! I don't think it's my job to do it!
Sora then punched her multiple time in the stomach and she cough out blood and Sora kicked her into the air.
Sora: Do it Aiz!
Aiz: TEMPEST!!
Revis saw that Aiz was rushing towards her and she was completely opened for attacked.
Aiz: I'll finish it!
Revis(mind): I can't-
Aiz then slashed Revis chest and cut her sword apart and sent her to the ground. Aiz land next to Sora completely and utterly exhausted and almost fell to the ground, but Sora managed to caught her.
Sora: I got you.
Aiz: Thank... you... Sora!
Sora and Aiz saw that Revis weakly started to get up with blood all over her body and she was panting, but Sora saw that her wound was already started healing.
Revis: You barely missed my magic stone...
Sora: Your done! We can do this the easy way by turning yourself, or do you want to this the hard way by dying?! Because i'm really pissed right now!
Revis saw that Sora was standing unfazed by her.
Revis: You're not even breaking a sweat after all that?! Looks like you're still not going all out! I won't be able to win against someone like you!
Revis the turned her back and put her and on a pillar and Sora and Aiz looked at her confused.
Revis: This pillar is the core of the pantry. Do you know what'll happen if I break this?
Sora and the others looked completely shocked.
Sora: You wouldn't?!
Revis then punched the core destroying it and the roof above them started to crumble and everyone looked completely shocked.
Revis: You'll get buried if you don't run. Why don't you go tend to your allies who needed your help, Flashing Strike?
Sora who was still holding a weakened Aiz looked behind them and saw that everyone other than Asuna were on the ground unable to move and Sora gritted his teeth. Revis called out to Aiz and the two of them looked back towards her.
Revis: Aria... Go to the 59th floor. It's getting pretty interesting down there. You'll find some answers too.
Aiz: What do you mean?
Revis: Haven't you noticed a little by now? Even if what you say is true, your blood should be telling you the truth. You save us some work by going there yourself. Those on the surface are trying to use us... In that case, we might as well try to use them ourselves.
Sora and Aiz continued to looked at her and Asuna called out to them.
Asuna: Sora! Aiz!
Bete: Aiz, hurry!
Sora grabbed Aiz and started holding her bridal style and used his Godspeed and Flashing Strike to grabbed everyone who was on the ground and brought them out of the Pantry.
(Timeskip)
After what happened everyone returned to the surface. Sora, Asuna, Aiz, Lefiya, Filvis and Bete parted ways with the Hermes Familia on the 18th floor. And the Loki Familia and Sora parted ways with Filvis on the surface and currently Sora was carrying an unconscious Lefiya on his back while holding a broken leg Bete. Sora looked to his right and saw Asuna and Aiz holding each other trying to not to pass out.
Bete: I don't need your help!!
Sora: Shut up! You're lucky I'm doing this!
Sora looked again that Asuna was about to pass out due to using to much magic and he quickly grabbed her and put her on his back and hold Aiz hand and pull her towards the Twilight Manor.
Asuna: I'm... fine...
Sora: -_- Yeah you don't look like it...
Sora then made it to the Twilight Manor and the guards saw this and quicklu rushed to get Finn. After awhile Finn, Riveria, Gareth, Tiona, and Tione and Loki rushed to the front and saw that Sora was carrying 2 elves and holding Bete on his right and Aiz on his left.
Finn: Everyone!!
They all rushed forward to their friends to aid them and leave Sora alone.
Riveria: What happened?
Gareth: Those wounds!!
Loki: This is serious!!
Sora: They're fine! Asuna and Lefiya had a mind down and Bete got one of his leg broken with Aiz using to much wind.
Finn and the others looked towards Sora and Sora explained everything that happened to them, about the quest and the Viscum and Violas and the jewel monsters and they nodded at him.
Finn: Thank you again, Sora.
Loki: I'm not really fond of you, but you have my thanks.
Gareth: What a wonderful friend we got now! Hahahaha!
Sora just smiled at them and bid them farewell. Sora returned to the church and he was greeted by Bell and Hestia and the two of them asked where he had been and Sora told that he had a quest to fulfill, but he didn't told them about the plant eating monsters and they nodded at him. Sora had asked Bell about Lili, but Bell just shook his head telling him that he doesn't know.
(Timeskip)
After the long and harsh battle, everyone returned to their daily lives and two days after the incident, Lili hasn't shown up. With her gone for two days, both Bell and Sora had been feeling worry and unrest. But at the same time, they believe without cause that they'd definitely meet each other again soon. As they were walking to the dungeon they saw a small figure waiting in front of Babel and they smiled.
Sora: See, I told you she will come around.
Bell: Yup, come on!
The two of them approached her and greeted her.
Sora: Miss supporter, Miss supporter. Would you happen to be in need of two adventurers?
Lili: Ah...
Lili looked up and she was shocked to see Bell and Sora standing and smiling at her.
Bell: Does the sudden offer confused you, Ma'am?
Sora: It is but a simple story! Two measly adventurers who needs a supporter's hand are selling themselves!
Bell and Sora raised their hand towards Lili and she looked at them confused.
Bell: So will you accompany us to the dungeon?
Lili had tears on her eyes and smiled happily and grabbed their hands.
Lili: Yes! Please take Lili there!
A/N: Alright, sorry for the long wait, but I'm back. I'm still a little bit busy so I probably won't be able to write everyday but I'll do all I can. And lastly I think this will be the last for Oratoria and Danmachi. If you read the manga they don't interact with one another, so it's going to be difficult to write them. But if they do, I'm gonna write them too. As always thank you for reading.
