Chapter 1342: Celica's New Power
Celica's new Domain, a combination of her Necromancy and her Alchemy together resulted to be incredibly powerful, managing to unleash her powers fully, as she overpowered one of the two True Demons targeting her.
The fusion between Mister Teddy and Mister Jester, which had grown into a gigantic dragon knight-like golem with golden and black armor, easily pushed the True Demon down with its foot and immense weight and force.
All while Celica materialize dozens of spears out of the other golems left behind, piercing the True Demon's body, his arms and torso were all pierced, his skin, which he thought was tough enough for her golems to not damage, was at the end, quite soft!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Uugryyeeghh!"
As the True Demon gave a loud scream of agony, his pain didn't end there as Celica manipulated the spears to infect his wounds, spreading their material deep as roots, which the continued piercing through his internal flesh, opening larger and larger wounds, digging all the way to the bones.
"Gryyyaaaagggh!"
And as his scream of agony reverberated, Celica smiled.
"Master wasn't wrong... That training truly worked well!"
As she did this, the second True Demon appeared right behind her, distracting her as she was forced to move away.
Her Golem Spears shapeshifted again into hands, grabbing her and floating away right in time before she was crushed by the True Demon behind her.
CRASH!
"D-Dammit!"
She looked at the other True Demon quickly slam the fusion between Misters Teddy and Jester, pushing it away and crushing it into the ground.
With a furious and barbaric, beastly scream, the True Demon attempted to tear apart the fused golem with his bare hands, ferociously covering it with demonic flames!
"DIE YOU PIECE OF GARBAGE!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The fused golem resisted however it could, its durability and strength was incredible, but Celica quickly saw their health points going down rapidly, their body still began to slowly fall apart!
"No! Teddy! Jester!"
As she shed a tear of sadness and desperation, the second True Demon rushed towards her, his foot going down towards her, aiming to step on her and crush her like a bug.
"DIE LIKE THE BUG YOU ARE!"
"Aahh!"
Celica panicked as she tried to escape the foot's power, the foot hit the ground, releasing a wave of flames. Her golems all fused into a giant wall, protecting her, but beginning to rapidly melt.
"N-No... everyone!"
The phantasmal souls making them wailed in pain, they were doing their best to protect their master, but because of the demonic flames, they were slowly being destroyed.
"No, no, no...! T-There must be a way... Mommy, mommyyy..."
Celica ended falling to her knees as she started calling for her mother, she was still slightly younger than the rest of the group, and much childish as well, her attachment for her mother had not faded away yet, and she still remembered her almost every night.
"Mommy help meeee!"
"Gyahahaha! Keep laughing and calling for your mama, you stupid bitch! I'll savor that flesh of yours!"
As she started crying and despairing, a giant spear of black flames appeared behind the True Demon piercing its chest and stopping it from conjuring its flames.
BOOOM!
"GUH?!"
The monstrous creature fell to his knees, the True Demon noticed someone floating in the air, a half-demon girl with draconic form and appearance.
"C-Celeste?!"
Celica gasped as she saw Celeste here, just barely in time.
"Celica! Don't lose faith in your strength! I know you were born different; I know you have trouble socializing sometimes, and I know you sometimes can't find strength within you as easily as others...!" Celeste roared, fighting against the True Demon, and struggling, her energies were being drained rapidly. "But I know you're strong! Fight, please... FIGHT!"
"Aah!"
Celica felt something within her, a small motivational spark emerged from her little and innocent heart.
Celeste's words weren't wrong or overly harsh, Celica had been examined years ago by doctors and psychiatrists, and that she was sometimes "slightly odd" and "overly fixated on things" wasn't just part of her personality.
It was because she was born special... her head worked differently than other people, but there wasn't anything inherently bad about her.
She had a lesser spectrum of it, one that still made her rather functional in society, but that still gave her these odd "quirks" that her mother and friends sometimes noticed, and that they had to work around.
One of them was her obsession with dolls, especially her Mister Teddy. Sometimes she preferred to just play alone with them than to hang out with the kids.
It wasn't as if she didn't hang out with them from time to time but... She often liked being left
alone.
After learning that she had something different in her head compared to the rest, Celica had initially tried to run away from her friends, feeling like she was a freak.
That nobody would love her again, or treat her like a friend ever again either...
But they proved her wrong.
They loved her!
Sylphy, Aquarina, Mist, Celeste, Zack, and Zephy, they kept visiting her every day, asking how she was, bringing her candy and other sweets.
Eventually, they got to talk with her.
"Are you not afraid I'm weird? My head works different... It's weird..." she kept sobbing. "I don't want to be weird... why am I weird? I want to be normal..."
"You're not weird, Celica!" said Sylphy, hugging her. "You're amazing just as you are!"
"Yeah! B-Before we even learned, you were just fine, right?" Zack nodded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"That's right! There's nothing wrong with it... don't leave us behind just because you think that you're a freak or something, you're a cute girl, our friend!" Mist said. "Celica... I'll always be your big sister, and I will never discriminate you for what you are,"
said Celeste. "To us, you're normal."
"Yeah! Chelica normal!" Zephy back then was even younger and baby-like, but he had already
developed a strong attachment to Celica because she was the only one willing to play with
him for entire days sometimes.
"Everyone..." Celica sighed, facing the True Demon. "I shouldn't panic... be like them... calm
down... concentrate..."
She breathed in and out, without trying to enter into a panic crisis like before.
"You got this Celica..."
Her eyes glowed with blue phantasmal flames... as something else within her awakened,
responding her new resolve.
Celica's Golem Domain began to fluctuate...
Her Soul opened, revealing countless more phantasmal souls she had collected over the years.
They began swirling together, fusing into something bigger.
The golem materials left behind, and even the demonic flames, all became ingredients for
her.
And then, Mister Teddy and Jester materialized in front of her, summoned by her authority as
their master and them as her familiar.
"{Necromancy Synthesis}"
FLUOSH! All things combined together, and then with her own body and soul.
She felt their materials wrap around her and the countless phantasmal souls swirling into a
single being.
A giant stood there, materializing out of nowhere.
Celeste's eyes widened, as she smiled in utter fascination and disbelief.
"You did it... I knew you would..."
"W-what...?!"
The True Demon was unable to react before Celica's armored claw crushed his head and
dislocated his mandibles.
Followed by a strong kick into his head, and then, a crushing strike into the chest.
And lastly, a finishing blow into the middle of his forehead.
"Perish."
CRAAASH!
