I was facing a cliff with dozens of human silhouettes marked on the stone, each of these marks was made with my body being smashed against this cliff continuously.
At the moment all the bones in my body were broken, but even so, I was still being mercilessly crushed by my sister's blows, Natasha this time was not holding back her blows and made a point of only aiming at my bones, further breaking what was already in place pieces inside me.
Since training with Caitlyn, I no longer feel that continuous hurt that I felt before when I left the Communal Temple after I woke up, but I still felt great discomfort and strangeness all the time.
While being crushed by Natasha's blows, I tried to use my body control to move my body through the Skill since my bones are no longer able to support my body.
Of course, I wasn't just being beaten, there was someone else where we were in the form of the Dungeon, a woman with pink skin and ears similar to those of Elves with the difference that they were larger, the woman I was seeing was a face I had known for years.
That was the main body of the High Priestess of Life, that was the true saint of Life, Yaramaki.
She was here because it was her home, it seems I was brought here after my last display of having some sort of mental damage, right now she was the one responsible for healing me while my sister was using her power to try and stop the healing, this process it was putting even more pressure on my body as these two strands of powers associated with healing are colliding.
I didn't have time to speak as my sister kept her promise of not resting while crushing me like a punching bag.
No healing would reach me until my vitality was less than 3% in my estimates, it was as if they were taking me to the brink of death only to bring me back while destroying every part of me without stopping.
This continued for a while, not because I was too weak to revise, but rather because I tried to control my body for a while, the strangeness I felt seemed to be a delay in the response of my body's movements in relation to the desire to move, this delay was making me move worse and worse trying to compensate for the gaps in my way of fighting.
After having gotten a little used to the state of my body while my sister used my body as a live target for her blows.
This continued for hours until I managed to push one of her fists away for the first time today, but I was punished soon after as she became more brutal.
But of course, all this brutality and violence was within what I could handle, physical pain has not been incapacitating for a long time and now the time has come for her to realize that I will not be unilaterally beaten.

Pov Irina's:
I was in a hut created from a barrier I created to look like a hut, only me and my brother were inside and no one will hear us.
"They don't seem to want to go along." (I)
"We could force them to follow us, the people on this planet are ridiculously weak, but that would defeat our purpose here." (Irius)
"Yes, but I had the same thought as you a little earlier, I don't mind adults choosing death on their own, but I don't like children being dragged along without the right to choose." (I)
"Yes, but unfortunately this is not our path, convincing others is not something we can do, we have been trained since we were children for combat and what we learned from our Father would not be useful here." (Irius)
"Maybe we should..." (I)
"Lady Irina! Lady Irina! We are under attack!!!"
Soon someone ran in, he was from the Beastmen rat tribe, and he ran in already slurring his words in his haste, after listening to everything he had to say, I headed in the direction with my brother at my side.
-----------------
What we saw from the sky unseen by one of my barriers was a sea of people or it would be more accurate to say a vast army.
"I don't understand, these numbers are abnormal for the amount of people in the village." (I)
"Yes, the people in the village are only a few thousand or tens of thousands, but here I easily see millions of soldiers." (Irius)
"The difference in forces is so great that it is beyond exaggeration for them to send such a large army." (Irius)
"That doesn't make sense, an army of this size costs a lot, not in terms of money that I'm talking about, but in terms of food and equipment." (I)
"That doesn't make sense, we're missing something, we sure are..." (Irina)
Suddenly I noticed something among the soldiers below, many soldiers had injured bodies, but it was not a common type of injury, I choose one of the soldiers and trap him in a barrier coffin making him invisible while disappearing with him, no one will notice him disappear and even if they notice they won't be able to find me.
As soon as I put my hands on him I started to take off his armor and clothes, and that's when I noticed the signs of stitching on his skin, in this place there are few healers since all religions have disappeared from this place.
I examined him further as I opened his body and realized the problem, there were two different vein networks with one being for blood and the other just filled with an alchemy mixture, I didn't know what potion this was, but it was clearly made to strengthen or they wouldn't have given it to the soldiers.
I quickly realized that there were also Runes created directly into their bones, these people were beyond repair, their bodies were pushed beyond the limit and I could feel the low vitality they possess, their lifespan was shortened by decades, and the disgust I feel for this by reminding me of what they did to me and my brother in those times.
"Should we fight?" (Irius)
"No, they are inside the Illusory barrier that I have been creating for days, we may be able to kill them all now, but something is wrong, we must return to the village." (I)
"Then let me go, take care of them here." (Irius)
"You suck at investigating, so let's both go, we'll have time to kill these later." (I)
We both returned to the village in silence and this time we investigated the village deeper, with such a huge difference in strength and more training in Aura than anyone on this planet, it was easy to go unnoticed by the people in the village as we invaded houses and other places.
My brother didn't find anything, but I found papers with records about something that happened before we arrived, horror took over me when I ran to a mountain near the village, there were rocks blocking the entrance to a cave that didn't hinder us at all when we ran in a straight line, the rocks breaking before hitting our bodies.
We continued deeper inside, smelling the smell of rot, it didn't take long to find a large stone hall with circles carved into the floor, and bodies piled on top, most of the bodies are Beast Men.
"What were they trying to do?" (Irius)
"An offering to the Gods, they were following ancient scriptures to invoke the favor of the Gods..." (I)
"< Corrosive Barrier >" (I)
I use a barrier to dissolve the bodies and the whole magical circus, this makes clouds of miasma create, I don't try to do anything by letting it spread.
------------------
The documents I found said that they did this every year, everyone in the village did it, and the people chosen among them were captured and taken to that cave, everyone in the village knew this because they attended the so-called Sacrifice Rituals.
I left my brother killing the people in the village, none of them deserve salvation and I won't allow them to join us, but I won't let these humans go free either.
"I'm better at massacring large numbers like you, we'll see how it goes." (I)

Pov Demigod of Light:
I was watching from afar when I felt my ritual being forcibly activated as my light was contaminated, but what I saw were the Servants of the Vampire Goddess' son.
I didn't care about them now, clearly they were the ones who caused this, but if I stopped suppressing the monsters and dealing with this absurd amount of miasma, the valiant forces of our Church's soldiers of Light would be killed.
That's why I let them do whatever they want while I was content with having activated the ritual magic, thanks to that I noticed the miasma gradually decreasing, at least until they disappeared along with the Moon, something I couldn't allow.
"You brought this here, so take it back!!!" (I)
"< Holy Light Magic: Flow of Light >" (I)
I used all my Holy Power to control the light of our sun, with this I gather more than 80% of the miasma while compressing it together to send it through the thread of the ritual that I held, so I send this miasma to them wherever they are with the hope of blow them up with your own weapon.
"(With this we just need to get rid of the monsters before continuing with the purification, but then I will take care of you son of the Vampire Goddess.)" (I)
"I will make you and your followers fall to the deepest depths when my inquisition comes after you!!!!" (I)
