A dazzling spear of light struck Julius-Ozynk while he was contacting Isadora and venting his anger. A blinding light appeared in the sky as the spear hit him.
"Did I hit him?" Aurdis asked with hope, though she also felt doubt.
"I don't think so," Saeldir replied.
"Why? It was a pretty good attack," Billy said.
"If you were fighting an ordinary enemy, yes, it was a pretty good attack. But this time, we're up against a creature from the Chaos Realm whose powers we don't understand," Saeldir explained.
Billy sighed in disappointment, but he understood. "You've got a point."
Slowly, the light eventually vanished from the sky, and they could see what had actually happened. There was a shroud of black energy enveloping Julius-Ozynk, shielding him from the spear of light that Aurdis had thrown.
"He's strong," Conrad said. "I know your attack was quite powerful. Yet, he doesn't seem affected in the slightest."
"He also looks mad," Billy added.
They all looked up to see Julius-Ozynk. He was staring at them with eyes burning with rage.
Julius-Ozynk pulled the black shroud that covered his body and raised both his hands. Not long after, black and red holes appeared around him, and from within those holes, lightning attacks shot towards them.
"Dodge!" Saeldir shouted.
*BLARRR!*
*BLARRR!*
*BLARRR!*
...
Dozens more lightning strikes hit the location where they had previously been. Adrien, Billy, and Conrad had moved away to avoid the lightning, but Aurdis and Saeldir didn't retreat far. Instead, the two of them positioned themselves in front of Aerchon and raised their shields to protect him.
"(Still taking long?)" Aurdis asked, looking concerned because she knew Julius-Ozynk's attacks would only grow stronger with each passing moment.
"(With this many, I do need quite some time,)" Aerchon replied.
"(We seem to be able to withstand his attacks while he prepares the continuation of the spell. Hopefully,)" Saeldir added.
Aurdis bit her lips. Could they hold off all these attacks until Aerchon was ready?
Julius-Ozynk realized that these Elves would be a significant problem for him.
'I have to eliminate them first.'
Julius-Ozynk directed all the black holes towards Aerchon, Aurdis, and Saeldir. Moments later, lightning bolts, just like before, struck back at them with greater speed and power than before.
Aurdis and Saeldir immediately extended their hands forward, creating a massive sparkling light shield.
*BLAARR!!!*
...
The lightning struck relentlessly, attempting to break through the barrier with all the force it carried. Julius-Ozynk continued to channel his Magic energy to send lightning bolts with increasing power.
He gritted his teeth, appearing utterly obsessed with piercing the light shield. Julius-Ozynk believed that if he could kill the three Elves, his plan would run much smoother; only the humans would remain, even though they could use Magic, they wouldn't be as strong as the Elves.
"Enjoying your time, Mr. President?"
Julius-Ozynk suddenly heard a voice beside him. He widened his eyes, and when he turned, Billy was next to him, grinning broadly.
*BUAGHH!*
A punch landed on Julius-Ozynk's face, shattering his concentration. Subsequently, more attacks came, forcing him to retreat.
Turns out, it wasn't over yet. A silver light rope emerged from below, ensnaring his body. Wasting no time, Conrad quickly pulled the light rope, bringing Julius-Ozynk crashing back to the ground.
*BOOM!*
He hit the ground at high speed.
Adrien, Billy, and Conrad took advantage of Julius-Ozynk's focus on the Elves and sneaked in. With their increased Magic abilities from training and Magic awakening, they could move quickly through the hundreds of possessed humans, eventually reaching Julius-Ozynk.
Adrien and Billy could now use Magic to enhance their bodies, allowing them to jump so high and reach Julius-Ozynk floating in the air, delivering punches to him.
In their minds, President Julius was now fully consumed by the creature from the Chaos Realm, so they didn't hold back. Whether the president could still be saved later was a matter they could consider later. For now, the most important thing was to drive the creature out of this world to stop this chaos.
"They're quite good," Aerchon, observing what they were doing, remarked.
Aurdis and Saeldir exchanged glances and then smiled.
*BOOM!*
Another explosion erupted from where Julius-Ozynk had fallen earlier. From amidst the dust and flying debris, Julius-Ozynk reappeared floating in the air.
An inhuman scream escaped from the creature, a sign of its fury. It immediately used black tentacles from around its body to lash out at Billy and Adrien below. Fortunately, both of them managed to dodge the lash of the black tentacles effectively.
Conrad, positioned behind them, prepared to form a sword of light to send at Julius-Ozynk. However, Julius-Ozynk seemed to be aware of his intentions.
Another black hole suddenly appeared above Conrad's head, and a lightning bolt shot towards him.
*BLARRR!*
Dust and debris from the ground that Conrad had previously used as support were now shattered and flying around. However, from behind the debris, they could still see Conrad standing. His face grimaced as he bore the sudden onslaught of the attack. Both his hands were still raised, holding the nearly shattered light dome.
'Fuck, I was careless. If I had been even slightly late in creating this shield, my body would have been scattered all around.'
Aerchon could see how Conrad used his Magic quite skillfully to create such a strong shield so quickly. However, Aerchon's facial expression didn't show satisfaction. Instead, he grimaced. Conrad was now using the Magic of their kind, which was unacceptable.
Yet, Aerchon diverted his gaze, for now. It was better to focus on dealing with this creature from the Chaos Realm first, and after this was over, he could take action against those who had taken Magic from the Elf race.
Realizing that Conrad could withstand his attacks, Julius-Ozynk became even more furious. He called back to Isadora, asking about her progress.
'How's it going there? Have you found them?'
Isadora hesitated before answering, 'I found them, but... it seems they're stronger than we thought.'

Now, on the other side of the world, precisely in the Chaos Realm, within the domain of the Goddess of Lust and Desire, Isadora. Erend and Eccar were wreaking havoc in their Dragon forms. Erend suggested to Eccar that he should also transform into a Dragon to cause damage more quickly, and Eccar was more than happy to comply with his suggestion.
Eccar's Dragon form, the Earth Dragon, was a Dragon whose entire body was covered in brown scales, resembling the Earth. There were spikes on his back, like uneven and sharp rocks. These spikes were actually crystals, and when Eccar intended to unleash a powerful attack, the initially brown crystals would emit white light. Just like right now.
*BWOOOOOSSSHHH!!!*
Dragon-Eccar released a breath of white light from his mouth. Anything touched by this breath immediately crumbled into dust within seconds. Dragon-Erend, witnessing this, was quite impressed.
'Holy shit, he's strong. Could another Dragon be this powerful too? What about that Time Dragon?'
Seeing that the Earth Dragon was this powerful, and he already knew the strength of his Fire and Lightning Dragons form, it was possible that another Dragon would have the same or even greater power than them.
'No wonder they disappeared. Their power is enough to level a world, so they chose to retreat for now.'
Dragon-Erend thought this as he used his fire to burn the slime sea in Isadora's domain. However, he soon realized that his attack seemed too small for the vast expanse of slime.
"It would be even better if Isadora were here so we could kill her as soon as possible," Erend thought.
But then, his wish unexpectedly became a reality faster than he thought. From a distance, he saw Isadora floating toward them, her body shrouded in pink-black light. She shot hundreds of orbs with colors similar to the aura on her body toward Erend and Eccar.
Isadora grimaced; she didn't want to fight the two Dragons after learning the fact that Svaros had died at their hands and witnessing firsthand their power when they went on a rampage in her domain.
However, she couldn't let her domain be destroyed like this anymore. The push from Ozynk further made Isadora feel that she had to defend her domain. Isadora summoned all the power scattered throughout her domain into herself. As a goddess of the Chaos Realm, just like the other gods and goddesses, she could store her power reserves in her domain for her use when the situation demanded it.
And now, the pink and black light began to enter her body as she flew closer to Dragon-Erend and Dragon-Eccar.
Dragon-Erend saw this, so he soared toward Isadora, opening his mouth and releasing a fireball at her.
*BOOM!*
The fireball hit Isadora, creating a spectacle of flames and sparks of pink-black light. After the explosion, the pink-black light enveloping Isadora grew several times in size. A moment later, the light disappeared, revealing Isadora, who had now grown larger than Dragon-Erend.
She had circular horns on top of her head and a pair of wings that resembled Dragon wings on her back. There was some kind of hard scale covering her breasts and crotch. And in both of her hands, there were black, long claws.
