Each swing of the Light Sword that Larazul released created a shockwave of divine power, pushing everyone further away. The souls that resided in that place, all of them were purified by it and the place was turned upside down as if the world was being bounced up and down.

The mountains, the hills, and the ground were blown away by the fight between Mephis and Larazul. Although it was a total mess, Larazul protected them from getting killed in the fight by creating an impenetrable barrier. Mykel on the other hand was still on his spot, unmovable like a nail in a coffin and unaffected by the battle.

Mephis' magic was enough to block all the powerful attacks that Larazul threw at her, and her sword was powerful enough to withstand Larazul's Light Sword. She looked like she had the upper hand in the fight because Larazul couldn't use all her power with a mortal body. Larazul was holding back her power because she didn't want to destroy Zachary's body and soul.

"Is this all you got? You can't kill me when you're struggling to control your power!" Mephis imbued her sword with darkness and swung it right at Larazul.

Larazul dodged the attack but the projectile of darkness that Mephis released flew and cut the ground open. It kept scraping and cutting the ground as far as the eyes could see, making it so dangerous. As long as the projectile didn't target the humans that she protected, she had no reason to block it.

"Time is ticking, Larazul. Your descendant's body is on the brink of destruction," Mephis threw a spear-like light magic at Larazul, making Larazul move to the side to dodge it. "You can't protect them all. You have to choose wisely," she glanced at Victoria and the others and then raised her staff, creating dozens of sword-like light magic above the barrier.

Larazul almost fell for Mephis' trick and pointed her right hand at the sword-like light magic that was about to hit the barrier. She clenched her fist, breaking the magic because if she didn't the light magic would penetrate the barrier she made. The light magic barrier couldn't stop light magic which was its only weakness.

"You're wide open, Larazul," Mephis appeared right behind Larazul who had just managed to prevent the magic from killing the humans.

Mephis was about to stab her blade at Larazul's back, but Larazul pulled out her wings and spread them widely, pushing Mephis away. Nine translucent wings, too big for Zachary's body made him look like an ant carrying two giant leaves.

Mephis was grinning in excitement, but deep down she was quite scared the moment Larazul decided to take the fight seriously. She knew that she wouldn't be able to win in the first place, but she wanted to bring someone down with her if she died.

"Come at me, and show them the truth about the so-being called Gods!" Mephis spread her wings and created twelve orbs, six black orbs, and six white orbs.

Larazul flew toward Mephis, leaving a trail of light and divine particles that could bring the dead to life if touched. She flew at the speed of light and Mephis struggled to keep up with her speed even though she managed to block all Larazul's attacks Thanks to the orbs that acted like her eyes and limbs.

Each attack made Larazul multiply her power by one and a half, and she had been swinging her swords dozens of times in a mere ten seconds. She was already put in Mephis' league and the next attack that she was about to throw would be enough to kill Mephis completely and destroy her existence.

"Is it really that surprising?" Mykel asked back. "You don't have to worry about him," he said as he looked at the sky.

Aston furrowed his eyebrows and wondered what was going on, but after judging how calm Mykel was and didn't antagonize him for insulting Mykel, he felt a bit guilty after Mykel saved Zachary's life. He didn't want to admit his wrongdoings and immediately carried Zachary on his back to tell Mykel that he would take it from there.

Everyone wondered how to go back, but then Javelin noticed weirdly placed stones in the distance. She approached them and noticed they were engraved with a magic circle. Before she could decipher it, the stones lit up the moment she stood near them and created a magic circle that covered all the stones.

"This is our way back! Come here!" Javelin shouted.

They all entered the magic circle and got teleported back to the surface to where the statue was. When they were on their way back, Victoria noticed that Mykel wasn't there with them even though he was with them when they entered the magic circle.

"Where did he go? Anyone see him?" Victoria asked the others.

Everyone looked around and nobody saw Mykel's whereabouts which made them believe he had teleported somewhere else. They decided to look for him because they were curious about where he went.

After exploring the place with the hot wind that could melt their skin for half a day, they couldn't find Mykel anywhere. In the first place, it would be impossible for him to be out there in a random place when everyone else managed to go back together.

"He's not in here," Javelin said.

"So you're suggesting we should leave him?" Aston asked.

"I can't protect everyone because I'm getting tired and might exhaust my magic soon. It's better if we go back since he can protect himself," Javelin pointed out.

"Let's do that. Let's leave," Victoria said casually.

When everyone went to their own rift and left the place, they were confused when the rift disappeared. That could only mean one thing and that was nobody inside the rift anymore. They wondered where Mykel went and his whereabouts.

Mykel wasn't surprised that he was brought back to where he came from and he remembered what Aevia said to him back then. He looked at the clock in front of him and Aevia standing in front of it without the cloth covering her face.

"Welcome back," Aevia smiled. "It's time for you to pay for what you did," she added and pointed her hand at Mykel, pulling him toward her. "It's going to be fun."
