Chapter 644 Saving Doma
Claug dug all the way down to the Dream Walkers colony in a few minutes, landing in a massive entrance right outside it. "We arrived," She said, lowering her wing for them to walk down from the carriage.
"I can feel Doma's curses from here," Merlin sighed, "She might be locked up, but she's reeking of them all the way here," She giggled.
"Agree," Ginger walked forward, "I bet she's trying to get people to notice her presence,"
"I smell blood, human one," Eris looked at Ginger, "You do as well,"
"It's faint. I say they are at death door," She pointed into the western side of the city.
Eris turned toward Lydia, "Let's go, Arad won't like it if we let them die,"
"He might blame himself for not being able to blast those dream walkers right away," Lydia held Eris's hand.
"We'll be back, Claug please get ready," Eris flew with Lydia.
"You're paying for this! You know we don't just carry anyone on our backs," Claug sighed, sitting in place and waiting as the rest walked into the dream walker city following Doma's cursed mana.
Thud! Eris and Lydia landed in front of a large building. The mere smell coming from there caused them to recoil, closing their noses in disgust. "This smell!" Lydia growled, "Those unholy monsters!" She swung her foot at the door, kicking it down with a holy blast.
"The forces of the church are here! Please calm down!" Lydia walked inside shouting, lifting her golden glowing holy symbol up. Inside the building, she could see tens of naked people chained like cattle to the ground. This was the breeding centre where the dream walkers tried to increase their batteries without needing to go out and hunt for humans.
Two abominations were hiding right behind the door frame, and they watched Lydia walk inside silently. They were the guards of the breeding centre. And the moment she spoke, they both swung at her head.
A golden flame engulfed Lydia's body, coming out of her holy symbol and blocking the two punches. The abominations gasped, and Lydia stared at one of them, only shifting her eye toward him with veins bulging on her forehead and neck.
"Dare attack a paladin holding her holy symbol? Fiend!" She turned, pointing the holy symbol at him.
The fiend gasped, his body getting pushed back toward the wall by the flames. "Come, get close!" Lydia stepped toward him, and his body kept getting crushed on the wall. He couldn't get near the holy symbol burning with divine magic, and now that she kept approaching him with it, the pressure crushed his body.
"Hold the holy symbol, or die," She pushed the holy symbol forward, and the dream walker's body burned and burst at the wall, leaving a massive blood mark that immediately caught on fire.
The second dream walker ignored Lydia and decided to jump at the prisoners and try using them as a shield and hostages. "This brings back bad memories," Eris smiled, catching the dream walker by the head as she floated behind him, "Isn't that right, Pin?"
A small malformed and deformed imp emerged from an eldritch flame, wiggling as it giggled, "Yes mistress, those sweet, bloody days at Katal's temple. The priests there used to do this to the sacrifices for fun," He took a deep breath, "What horrid, amazing days,"
"You know it's weird that you liked those days?" Eris looked back at him.
"I'm an imp created by Katal's ideals by your mother," He giggled, "It's natural for me to find it funny,"
"Well, I don't," Eris sighed as the dream walker turned to punch her in the face.
Pin lifted his hand, and the dream walker froze in place, "Bad monster," He smiled with his ugly face, "Do you know when you attack someone with their pet dog around? That poor puppy gets angry and sad, and then chews your face in a marvelous show of blood,"
Pin's body morphed, growing into a massive devil equal in size to the dream walker, and and bit his face off. "Pin is that little pet. Be careful, Pin bites," Pin smiled, talking about himself.
"Is that a devil?" Lydia stared at Pin, confused.
"A witch and a vampire, it won't do if I don't have a familiar. I tried to summon one, but to my surprise, Pin revived and became my familiar as he was to mother." She smiled.
The people inside the room stared at Eris in fear, they were happy to see a paladin, but now someone like Eris showed up.
"Don't worry," Eris noticed their worries and turned toward them, pulling a holy symbol of Amaterasu from her pocket, "I'm too a paladin, sort of," The symbol flashed with holy magic, she wasn't lying.
Even though they found it hard to believe, it's not like they had any other choice.
Lydia and Eris healed the people and guarded them all the way to Claug, where they hit inside the wagon that Merlin expanded with magic.
Soon after, the rest returned with Doma's heart. "We found this, it should be here," Merlin had the heart levitating with gravity magic as she didn't want to touch it. That old mummified thing dripped with cursed mana like it was the end of the world.
Lydia gasped as she stared at the heart, "I didn't expect it to be that much,"
"Me too," Merlin looked at the heart, "It contains Doma's soul. She should inhabit the body of whoever eats the heart,"
"What?" Claug gasped.
"Why eat?" Eris looked at Doma's heart, "Anyone would die of the curses before even licking it,"
"And like how? Cut it to pieces and grill it?" Lydia sighed.
"Arad could probably swallow it whole." Aella said, "I saw him slurp a giant cobra-like it's nothing in his draconic form,"
"Arad doesn't chew eggs," Isdis looked at them, "I doubt he even cares if they were peeled or not. I saw him swallow them one after another like they were peas or olives,"
Eris smiled, "I mean, he's huge." She turned and started walking back toward the city, "You get out and wait for me far away, I'll come quickly,"
"Be careful," Aella waved her hand, rushing with everyone to ride on Claug's back.
Claug clawed her walk out of the colony, reaching the surface and flying away.
Eris stood alone in the middle of the colony, staring at the ceiling. Tens of dream walkers that were hiding emerged from the shadows, lunging toward her.
Eris lifted her hands, putting them together, "It's the End,"
Lightning and fire crackled from her body as plasma gushed out of her, [Plasma Expansion: Purple Sun]
Eris's body flashed with a blinding light, washing the dream walkers away as the purple sun emerged in the middle of the colony, melting the place.
"Burst."
The purple sun exploded, wiping the whole colony.
Claug looked back, seeing the earth crumble as the colony got blasted beneath it, "It's better not to leave anything," She looked around for Eris, but suddenly felt a sharp pressure coming from the horizon.
"This magic!" She looked, seeing a bright flash in the distance, followed by a massive mushroom of smoke and fire. "It's Arad!"
