Even with the terrifying look of Azther that seemed to be crushing their souls with only his aura. None of them had the slightest trace of fear in their expressions.
In fact, they looked at Azther as if they were anxious to dismember every centimeter of his body.
"!"
Lanaery stopped looking at Azther by noticing that the crystal on her chest was creating waves of lights that expanded quickly, covering hundreds of kilometers. The speed of these light waves was pretty close to the speed of light!
Suddenly, countless white points of light appeared out of nowhere. These points of light made a perfect combination with the starry sky.
All these points of light did not take long to be attracted by the Holy Purifying Crystal.
With the points of light that were absorbed by the crystal, brighter was its light with more light points inside.
Lanaery knew this was just the beginning. For this crystal to be completely filled with divine power, more time was needed.
Now, the duty of the other heroes was that they had to protect Lanaery even if that meant death!
This was certainly an extremely dangerous mission with a high chance of dying!
"Thanks..."
"I thought I was going to turn into one of those ugly Abyssals Clones."
"From the beginning of time on the Sacred Origin to the present day, the Saintesses remain the brightest hopeful light!"
The voices of the countless souls of the inhabitants of the Sacred Origin thanked Lanaery passionately.
After the dark cloud barrier disappeared, the corrosion these souls were suffering from stopped, and with the countless points of light in their surroundings, that corrosion was completely removed!
Lanaery looked at the true appearances of these souls after the corrosion disappeared. There were women with charming appearances. Handsome men with heroic and imposing countenances.
There were even children and old people who looked at her with a smile.
Around these heroes, there were many beings of other very varied races that also thanked Lanaery.
All of this caused Lanaery's heart to fill with indescribable sadness.
Finally, seeing how all these souls disappeared. She looked back at Azther, who was already starting to move his giant tentacles with claws at their ends.
She quickly unsheathed the sword at her waist. The same sword she used to cut the previous Abyssal Clone in two.
From the blade of this completely white sword. Lanaery's precious white armor, as if made of light, was perfectly reflected. She looked at a small slit in the middle of the hilt in the shape of the crystal on her chest.
A gleam of pity shines in her white eyes as she looks at her sword. Lanaery suddenly said, "Heavenly Light, it looks like it's the end of our journey together..."
The sword began to shine, and on its blade, the figure of a man with golden hair and eyes appeared.
"Don't feel sorry for me. This was my destiny since I was created thousands of years ago." A voice with a great sense of justice came from this sword that Lanaery called Heaven's Light.
Lanaery gently shook her head and said, "There is still the fact that your soul and body may disappear because my body is too weak to resist the power of the crystal."

"We talked about this a while ago. It's time for this war to end. Azther isn't going to wait for us to finish talking comfortably." Heaven's Light said with a smile. The figure that was on the sword disappeared without wanting to speak anymore.
Sigh...
With tremendous disappointment at her incompetence. Lanaery watched as Azther's massive body tried to enter the Sacred Origin!
Seeing this, both Lanaery and the other heroes became very nervous, as fighting Azther's massive body so quickly would cause it to be impossible to resist long enough for the crystal to be filled with divine power.
Bang!
Suddenly, from the center of a large active volcano thousands of miles from Lanaery. A beam of multi-colored light hit Azther's massive body!
"Ahh!"
"You're only prolonging your suffering by keeping me from eating you!"
Azther's tyrannical and hostile voice resounded throughout the Sacred Origin.
Even so, this multi-colored ray of light made Azther unable to continue moving towards the Sacred Origin.
Sure enough, this ability was from the Elemental Core. Using all the power accumulated for a thousand years, it was trying to make time for the world treasure to keep absorbing divine power.
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
Suddenly, Azther's tentacles moved at high speed, entering the Sacred Origin!
Boom!
Boom!
With his black claws at the tip of his tentacles, he tore through the ground and tried to attack the Elemental Core.
Bang!
Fortunately, a barrier created with almost all the elements appeared to protect the body from the Elemental Core!
As if he didn't care about the existence of this barrier. Azther's claws began to absorb the elemental power of the barrier. Causing his tentacles to resemble the body of a snake when he was swallowing his prey.
"We have to hurry. The consequences would be too high if it keeps absorbing the elemental power of the Elemental Core."
With these words, Lanaery looked at her friends.
"You all know what to do from now on. I don't know what will happen in the end, but the time we spent together is what kept me from going completely insane when I lost my master."
"I love and appreciate you all."
Lanaery said with a beautiful smile as she placed the crystal into the slot of her sword.
With a large amount of light coming from the crystal, she and her sword became beings made of light!
The most amazing thing was that the size of her body along with her sword was increasing with each passing second!
The other heroes, knowing that it was time for them to give their all, began to prepare their best attacks.
Wooosh!
Wooosh!
Wooosh!
Vaidela instantly shot dozens of cyan-colored wind arrows that began to absorb the wind as they moved, and in less than a second, they grew so large that each arrow was hundreds of meters long!
These arrows instantly struck Azther's tentacles, causing his body to writhe in pain.
One of the tentacles stopped absorbing the elemental power of the Elemental Core and charged with terrifying speed towards Vaidela's location.
Bang!
Suddenly, a giant stone ax caused this tentacle to crash to the ground!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Tornadoes made from countless water swords impacted on this tentacle tearing apart his skin.
Roar!
A spear made of only fire that was hundreds of meters long pierced through the flesh of this tentacle and began to burn it from within, turning it to ash.
"Ahh!"
In just a few seconds, Azther had already lost one of his tentacles!
"Good! If you want me to kill all of you little creatures first, then I'll grant your wishes!"
Azther, with a furious voice, retracted all his tentacles and brought all his claws together in a strange position.
"It's that damn purple worm again."
Ettandra said with disgust and concern. Furthermore, deep in her eyes, there was also sadness as she remembered how her dear brother had died due to the ability Azther was about to use.
Lanaery also cursed inwardly. She really didn't want Azther to use this ability so fast.
The worst thing was that when looking inside the crystal, which was like an independent space, she noticed that there was still a long way to go before the crystal was completely filled with divine power.
Roar!
A great roar that seemed to come from a beast that had existed for millions of years, releasing an abundant aura of antiquity and desolation, was heard throughout the Sacred Origin, causing everyone's ears to ache.
In space or the abyss, that was what the inhabitants of the Sacred Origin called it.
Countless drops of dark purple poison were gathering together to create a creature with an elongated body, like a snake.
All of this was happening in the center of Azther's clutches.
As this creature continued to form, Azther's aura visibly diminished. Showing that activating this ability was not an easy thing to do.
The poison elemental power consumption was probably, extremely high!
Roar!
Finally, the creature finished forming. On their head, they had five eyes on each side. Plus they had a pair of misshapen horns.
Their mouth was filled with thousands of sharp teeth with nasty purple slime dripping from each tooth. Lastly, their hundreds of meters long snake-like body had thousands of faces of creatures of different species writhing in pain and despair.
Each creature was trying to use their face to get out of the scaly skin of this poison creature!
With the Elemental Core attack that was getting weaker and weaker. All the heroes tightened their grip on their weapons.
Fighting the poison creature was going to be really challenging.
Still, everyone was prepared to use even their lives to hold Azther and the creature made of poison.
