Chapter 1221 Cap 1219: You pass if you survive
I was happy that this training was over, I spent days fighting Natasha and I'm not even aware of how much time has passed, but I know that my body has never been so destroyed in my entire life along with my previous life.
But now that Natasha had moved away and Elizabeth was standing on my snout while still in my Dragon form, I had a bad feeling mainly due to the gleam in her eyes.
"Can't you at least let me rest?" (I)
"No, this isn't just training to help you, it's also punishment for what you did to get to this state." (Elizabeth)
"I know I made a mistake, Caitlyn made sure to say it a few times and Natasha hammered that mistake into me while breaking my bones." (I)
"You just think you understand, but you don't really understand because you don't have the basis of understanding to understand." (Elizabeth)
"You don't fully understand what a Soul is, you don't even fully understand yourself or what Deities are to begin to understand what you've done." (Elizabeth)
"What you did changed your power, your Aura, your Body, your Authority, and even your Soul." (Elizabeth)
"What you did changed your Soul on a fundamental level, if it were any other creature it could have become an immortal abomination causing endless destruction wherever it went, but because you possessed the Power of Chaos it was possible to adapt to the madness that you did, but even then the consequences could still have killed you by destroying your body, even after we managed to heal your body stabilizing the situation, you could have died if not for the Communal Temple in your Dungeon having the ideal environment to keep you stabilized." (Elizabeth)
"Just what I said was 1 possibility of almost certain destruction of the Soul and 2 almost deaths, do you have any idea what that means!?" (Elizabeth)
"Me..." (I)
"Remember that you are a Blood Demigod, direct son of the Goddess Selene, a Vampire Patriarch and a Primal Dragon!" (Elizabeth)
"The kind of thing that needs to be done to bring you almost to death 3 times is so absurd that it's hard for me to think of anything even with my long life!" (Elizabeth)
"ARGH!!!" (I)
Suddenly a hand made entirely of blood appears filled with the power of Elizabeth's Authority, this large hand squeezed me completely to the point that I felt my bones cracking before stopping.
"Natasha is happy with your fight and with punishing you during this training, but neither Caitlyn nor I think it was enough, but after this training, we will forgive what you did if you survive." (Elizabeth)
"I understand... now if you could... let me go..." (I)
"Return to your Human form." (Elizabeth)
I tried to do just that, but I wasn't succeeding, that's when I looked through my skills and realized that the [ Blood Eclipse Dragon Awakening ] Skill had disappeared.
"..." (I)
I couldn't understand what was happening, but the more I sought the skill, the more discomfort I felt at the thought that I would never return to my normal body, I didn't fall into despair, just my emotional control, leaving only the discomfort until my Sister seemed to notice.
"Are you trying to use your Dragon Awakening Skill?" (Elizabeth)
"I seem to have lost the ability." (I)
"It seems like you still don't understand, this ability disappeared because it is no longer necessary." (Elizabeth)
"The strange flames that have been burning your body all this time are not a curse, they are not side effects of what you did, and they are not something we did to you." (Elizabeth)
"They are flames of Rebirth, this Starfire has several unique uses, but at the moment what it was doing was killing and reviving you at the same time, a duality of life and death in an accelerated cycle allowing your body to be reborn while your Soul adjusts together to your body." (Elizabeth)
"You are no longer the Vampire who became a Dragon, now you are a Dragon who is also a Vampire." (Elizabeth)
"The ability to change its form is something natural for a Dragon, you saw how Zadiris, Arash, Nix, and Navar transform naturally." (Elizabeth)
"The transformation must be natural, you just need to want to transform your body in a way that is as natural as the desire to move your arms." (Elizabeth)
Following what Elizabeth said, I did the same, I tried to remember the feeling of how much my body was transforming while visualizing the transformation in my mind.
I felt my body changing, but this feeling became strange as the hand of blood squeezing my body changed size along with me until my field of vision was lower making me have to look up to see Elizabeth descending and standing in front of me.
"Could you let me go now?" (I)
"I already said no... let's start your training now." (Elizabeth)
Elizabeth cuts her finger with her teeth and starts writing a magic circle in the air using her own blood, I could feel her Aura and Authority flowing in the blood she is using, but even doing this she continues talking.
"Now you are complete in body and Soul, you are almost a complete Demigod, in the way that you are already able to go wherever you want, you can fight however you want and you can return to your normal life, but you must have already realized that you still something is missing." (Elizabeth)
"Yes, my Aura looks different, but I can still use it fully now almost as naturally as I did before." (I)
"But my Authority... I can't feel it inside me, which is strange since I feel your Authority." (I)
"This is because just like your body and Soul, your Authority was also affected, new elements and characteristics are part of you now, which made your Authority change." (Elizabeth)
"My training won't be study like Caitlyn or combat training like it was with Natasha, so you need to rediscover your Authority and I don't accept failure." (Elizabeth)
And when she spoke, her face looked like an ice sculpture, her eyes full of cruelty and resolve that I've never seen her demonstrate before.
"< May My Blood Open the Doors Leading to the Torment of the Damned >" (Elizabeth)
I can see Elizabeth's body having all her blood drained by the Ritual Magic Circle in front of her as well as all her power, her body becomes thinner and she still doesn't show anything until the magic circle lights up burning in black circles with blue lines dark.
At that moment, these black and dark blue flames burn the entire magic circle before coming together in a single point, and then an arm of black bones with details drawn in dark blue appears from within the flames, this arm was just the first as soon a second, then a third and then a fourth arm of matching bones appears, using its bone claws to tear through space like a paper curtain.
The arms continued to appear tearing the space apart as they opened the space from the center to the sides revealing a door made of bleeding bones, a few seconds later the large gate was completely visible the Aura of life that was previously everywhere was expelled away leaving only a horrifying Aura that I recognized.
Soon my fleeting thoughts became reality as the hundreds of bone arms shatter into floating pieces before forming 4 large arms that open the double doors of Hell.
"This door is self-explanatory, so I'll be brief, it only opens with the power of the Authority and will be the only exit you can take." (Elizabeth)
"Also, because you're alive and you're a Demigod, you'll be a big target, so be careful not to die or you won't make it back." (Elizabeth)
"Wait... Elizabeth, what are you..." (I)
"You pass my training if you survive coming back through that door." (Elizabeth)
"ELIZABETH!!!!!" (I)
With the end of his last word, the big hand flies into hell's gate, still squeezing me while trying to free me with all my strength.
The sight of seeing the gate closing behind me was almost as bad as the presence full of desolation denying the vital energy within me trying to expel the vitality within me leading to my death, this only stopped when I wrapped my body with my Aura and finally the big hand holding me evaporates leaving only a closed gate floating in the air of a macabre world in my vision no matter which direction I look.
"Do they really want to kill me?" (I)
GGGRRRRRR!!!!
AAAHHHHH!!
RRRROOOOOOAAAARRRRR!!!
I began to hear sounds of screams, roars, and a variety of sounds before I noticed a gray cloud coming towards me, they were Ghosts with smiling faces.
"..." (I)
----------------
Pov Elizabeth's:
When the gate to hell closed was when I allowed my body to fall to my knees on the ground from exhaustion that soon disappeared with the wave of vitality flowing into me.
"Thanks." (I)
"Do you think he can do it?" (Yaramaki)
"I don't know, but I prefer to believe that one of my younger brothers can do this, I haven't seen a son of the Blood Goddess die so easily, especially this idiot." (I)
"The presence of Hell and the creatures that rule there will be a great pressure, to survive he will need the Authority in one way or another." (I)
"(He will instinctively know or at least he should, so good luck little brother.)" (I)
"So my services will no longer be needed here?" (Yaramaki)
"Yes and I thank you for your help." (I)
"Then I'll leave the rest to you, looks like I have last minute things to do." (Yaramaki)
With that, she disappears from my front and I sit under a tree where I can see the Gate of Hell which has now become Ethereal, I will sit here and wait for him.
