"GYYYAAAAAAAGGGHH…!"
As I heard the screams of the Venerable of Blood, I flew outside of the Divine Realm, arriving in the outside world just in time!
F L A A A S H!
I saw the Divine Realm cracks grow wider around the outside world, as I found my comrades fighting an enormous army of a hundred monstrous beings resembling sludges of blood and flesh with various eyes.
Oh, so this is what happened to the physical body of the Venerable… I guess they had been handling out just fine for now!
"Rakasha, I got Ruby!" I said.
"Ah! Drake!" Rakasha's eyes shone brightly as he suddenly crushed an enormous Blood Slime thing with his blazing hammer.
B O O O O O M M M M!!!
"RUBY!"
He quickly flew at my side.
"However, I need your help, do not call victory yet!" I said.
"What? Why?" He wondered.
"I had figured this out when I held her, but this bubble is not simple at all." I said. "It is made with a complex Divine Rune inscription, it was made by someone very proficient at creation, like you. I am particularly good, but alone I cannot do it. If I begin it, a countdown will start and if I don't resolve the entire runic inscription in time, the bubble will blow up Ruby and anything else within the surroundings…"
"Wait, what?! So they put Ruby inside a damn bomb?!" Asked Rakasha in anger. "Very well, we need to do this without a doubt, let's begin!"
"I have to quickly make a stronger army though. Everyone has been handling just fine but I can tell you're all at your limit!" I sighed. "Divine Spirit Creation: [Heavenly Light Dragon Knight Spirits]! Divine Spirit Creation: [Impenetrable Primordial Ice Dragon Scale Armor Spirit]! [Heavenly Holy Spear Spirit]! [Heavenly Holy Shield Spirits]! [Heavenly Holy Sword Spirits]! Divine Soul Forging Arts: [All Soul Enhancement]!"
In mere seconds, a hundred powerful dragon spirits made of light wearing spirit armor and spirit spears and shields. While being boosted with stronger soul enhancements.
Yuki and the rest saw the army emerge, as they clashed against the Blood and Flesh Monsters, crushing them and purifying them with their holy light and powerful light breath attacks. Countless explosions spread before our vision.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"Drake! He's back!" Said Yuki.
"I knew he would be back!" Hector smiled.
"His Spirits are backing us, but don't slack off, support them!" Larzak roared.
"Those with too man wounds, come with me to be healed!" Pekora said.
"Alright! Things finally are getting more interesting now!" Tisha smiled.
As I saw everyone being able to finally take a breather, I looked back at Rakasha.
"Drake! Can't we do this later though? Is there a time limit?" He wondered.
"No, but I can sese the accessories with her are trying to take over her. We've only defeated a fragment of the Vampire Venerable's soul, but there are three other accessories inside this bubble! Look." I showed Rakasha, there was a ring, a necklace, and a bracelet.
All three of them were imbued with a big red jewel on top of them, overflowing with divine vampiric powers which were trying to take over Ruby for a while now.
"Ah! R-Right, let's begin immediately then!" Rakasha swallowed saliva. "I cannot let this bastard steal an innocent girl's body like this! [Divine Blacksmith Furnace]!"
FLAAAASH!
Rakasha suddenly summoned an enormous domain where a gigantic furnace fueled by an even bigger volcano emerged out of thin air. Alongside that, there was a gigantic anvil imbued with divine runes and several divine artifacts in the shape of tools for forging.
"Amazing! You can bring your furnace anywhere you are?!" I asked.
"Yeah, it is merely one of the many benefits of being a Blacksmith God." Rakasha said with a smile. "Now, bring her here!"
The Domain was an enclosed space, so we quickly began working, placing Ruby over the anvil as we started to imbue our divine souls into the bubble, deciphering all the Divine Runes one after the other. This was like trying to resolve an incredibly complex puzzle.
However, Rakasha had techniques to resolve this quicker and swifter!
He raised his hammer as he imbued it with Divine Flames.
"[Quick Forge]! [Rapid Succession]! [Runic Deciphering]!"
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
Each hit seemed rough, but they sent shockwaves of his divine power across the bubble, deciphering more and more of the divine runes in mere seconds!
"Amazing! Well done! We are almost making it!"
I quickly began utilizing my several heads for this, imbuing all the power I could, and of course, my mind! Through the [Psychic Mind] Divine Ability, my mind speed was increasing rapidly.
[You've imbued Divine Power into the [Psychic Mind (S)] Divine Ability!]
[Your Thinking Speed has been enhanced +500% for the next 30 minutes.]
Yes, that's it!
My mind felt like it was flying across the runes, deciphering their maze-like structure became swifter!
The entire bubble began glowing, showing countless runes over its body beginning to disappear once after the other.
However, as if panicking, the accessories started shaking rapidly, as enormous quantities of divine power began to emerge from within them, trying to possess Ruby even rapidly!
For some reason, Ruby was resisting the possession, fighting with her own mind.
She's a strong girl, I cannot disappoint her!
"Ruby! Fight! FIGHT!" Rakasha roared. "UOOOH! DIVINE BLACKSMITH ARTS: [THOUSAND STRIKES]!"
His hammer suddenly grew up to ten times its original size, hitting Ruby's bubble a thousand times consecutively, each time, although brutish, deciphered dozens of runes at a time!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
FLAAAASH!
Suddenly, the last rune was finally deciphered, as the entire bubble… disappeared!
POOOF!
And Ruby came out of it right away!
And so did the accessories, being freed from their sealing, their power grew stronger, and from within them, enormous, red-colored claws appeared, attempting to grasp Ruby away from us!
"My vessel… I WON'T LET YOU TAKE HER AWAY!"
This damn bastard really doesn't give up!
