Evolution ( part 3 )

Alesio - Ahem ... ugh...

Matei - Alesio! Are you ok ?!

Everyone now had eyes on the child.

He just clapped his hand on the arm that was holding him. Matei understood and carefully put it down.

The boy's face was still white and sickly.

William - Alesio, what do you say...

Alessio - No. I can't see Anka's future. I can't use the power anymore. It is a restriction and I can no longer use it.

His words were very determined, throwing a bucket of cold water over the heads of those around.

Alesio - We have to run or hide until the system takes us for the next scenario. We can't win.

The group was quiet for a moment.

Then William began to speak...

Wiliam - System! System! Why don't you answer?!

The group was then shocked to find that their connection to the system had been completely severed.

Yuna - Did that girl really do something to the systems too?! 

Ella - No... it's impossible!

Then they heard the sound of applause. They raised their heads mechanically and on a pillar not far away, Anka looked at them with a smile and clapped her hands.

Her black clothes were suitable for battle, but also elegant on the one hand. She had her hair down to the shins with only a string to restrict her movement.

The hair color was black but if they looked closely they could see white strands through it. 

Her eyes glowed a strong, very sinister red.

- I was in a hurry in case you had escaped from the city, just to see such an exciting show. Thank you , you are very nice !

The girl giggled. She rubs the ring on her right hand ready for action.

But Matei threw himself on the ground on knees.

Matei - Please don't kill Alesio ... I can do anything ... I'll give you anything ...

The boy next to him was taken by surprise, but he imitated his gesture and lines, only that he used Matei's name in prayer.

Juliana followed, begging for mercy for her.

However, the other presidents did not move. They looked with caution and a little contempt. But their minds were calculating how to escape...

Anka doesn't expect the three of them to really get down on their knees...

She hesitated for a moment, but somehow felt neither sympathy nor pity. She was not influenced by their actions.

It was all up to her. She could leave them or he could kill them. Everything was 100% her decision...

It was precisely because of this that she stopped.

She didn't know what she wanted to do.

Then with an idea, use eyes to see their soul. Then make a decision.

- I won't kill you three.

Then she headed towards the rest who were ready to run. 

The black scythe reappeared in her hand ready for action.

What followed was a five against 1 battle, where the one used only physical strength against the powers of the five.

It was a pulsating and slow fight.

Anka never dealt them the death blow, only shallow hits or blocked their attacks.

Alesio, Matei and Juliana watched from the sidelines. Not that they didn't want to leave, but the ice had blocked their legs and even Juliana's fire could not melt it. They had no choice but to watch.

The 'fight' lasted three hours. During this time, Yuna lost both hands, Jeana lost only one but had a broken leg. Dimitrie was already dead, he had neither the physical resistance nor the useful strength to face the girl, so he was the first to be eliminated.

William was exhausted and had many wounds on his body that were bleeding but he had no time to care.

He drank the potions previously removed from the system. Those of physical recovery and energy. And now the adverse effects almost paralyzed him.

Ella was no better. She had several deep cuts on her body and her hand from the shoulder down was twisted abnormally.

Those who were still alive gradually lost their will, and gasped for air, while Anka became happier and happier.

Neither did they know what was worse, physical or mental torture...

Then the time came...

They collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. Their eyes were empty, only Ella seemed not to accept these things. A golden aura was already forming around her and the atmosphere was becoming heavy. Too bad she's dealing with the Goddess of the Death...

Anka snorted mockingly at the girl who dreamed of defeating her with a little life energy.

On her - death deity ...

She raised her scythe and was ready to end the fight. She didn't feel like it anymore. She still had to leave the planet, so prolonging it would not be good.

However, when she was about to lower the scythe to end the miserable life of the five, a hand came out of space and pinned her wrist.

Then a body came out of nowhere.

It was the body of a man. He had black hair and golden eyes. He had an expressionless face and seemed cold but also like the sun at the same time.

Comically ... this was the incarnation of the God of Life, but also Fahim ...

The place froze both literally and figuratively. Time in all existence has stopped.

Anka looked at the man who grabbed her wrist and didn't move. Her face showed nothing. Her eyes showed nothing. All thanks to the 'mask' she unconsciously wore.

Even though it was a mess inside, it seemed calm on the outside.

She opened her mouth and said:

- What are you doing here ?

- I'm stopping you.

- I see.

Then they started to fight directly.

Time was no longer stopped, but it didn't really matter. They left that position, people who were still alive were too tired to follow and the rest were blocked by ice. So the fight between the two gods received no spectators.

Initially, Anka thought she would lose, but it seems that the God of Life was not in a good mood either.

The fight was mostly physical, neither used magic or anything and Anka took the lead. She had the advantage.

The current location was in a park. They were over a frozen lake and the girl knocked the man down after a good few minutes of fighting. He was pretty good at fighting but no match for the girl. 

Now pinned to the ice with a dagger at throat and his hands pinned above head, he looked a little pitiful, but his face still hadn't changed.

Then in an instant he disappeared turning into light and appeared behind the girl. Anka lowered herself and then raised her leg without looking back. Thus she avoided a stabbing and at and disarmed.

Then she rolled again from where she was golden circles of spells started. 

Now the fight had become magical. 

Now the girl was losing the advantage. Even if she had some memories they couldn't compare to what she would know if she had them all…

Thus the fight continued for 10 minutes.

Anka was getting a little annoyed. Her plan would be perfect without this man's involvement.

Now she should already be on another planet erasing her tracks, but everything was ruined and she still didn't see when she could leave.

Then as a price for distracting her during the fight, she received a powerful magic blow right in her abdomen.

The girl couldn't even moan because she had to avoid the next blow.

It then hits the ice below and sinks into the cold water.

Given her powers, she would have the advantage in water. Too bad she forgot something important... Fahim was now a dragon...

Reptiles were in their element in the water...

So even if she took some kind of advantage, she also lost a little... 

In the end she decided to go out. She no longer wanted to see Fahim's dragon form. It gave her a strange feeling...

Coming out of the water they started again ...

Their energies were opposing, their powers were opposing and even their personalities were opposing...

But the fight is coming to an end though.

Anka was about to collapse, her body to be exact. 

Exhaustion and the burden of the battles fought caught up with her.

The sky was already dark, the two incarnations of the gods were at a distance of 10 meters from each other, both were gasping for air.

The man was holding a sword while the girl was cutting it. They were ready for the final blow.

Anka really wanted to talk a little. To ask some things, like:

'Why are you stopping me?'

'When did you recognize me?'

Many questions to which she actually had the answer but as if she was hoping for another one...

Then just before starting she feel a sting in heart, a very strong one...

Her vision went black for a moment... She dropped to one knee supported by the weapon turned into a staff.

She couldn't even laugh at this form of weapon because her chest felt another sting...

'What's going on?'

Apparently her heart has reached its limit...

The body was completely rejecting her now. Dissociations were happening and she could no longer receive even a single piece of information from the outside. She became blind, deaf, dumb and insensitive.

She didn't know if she was still standing ...

Then after a certain time the eyes opened again.

But this time there was neither Anka nor Aira... it was just the Death goddess - Maranam.

This time fully awake.
