Lilith was about to teleport away with them when Althea spread her arms wide and she deployed her translucent barrier that covered them, if one looks closely one would notice that this translucent shield was made of tiny lightning forming a net of lightning.
The tornadoes crashed against the lightning shield.
Bam!
A dull thud rang, and the duo's ears rang with a sharp shrill. The tornado was grinding against the lightning shield in a heart-thumping fashion.
Althea gnashed her teeth and thought of adjusting the shield trajectories.
The lightning shield flashed once and a mysterious ripple moved into the tornado from the point of contact.
Bam!
Then, the tornadoes got shredded as they dissipated in bits to all four cardinal directions.
That force was the tornado's force being used against it.
This special ability seemed to be to deflect and reflect attacks. The tornadoes had it coming.
For the dark mist that wasn't alive in a true sense. This damage was nothing. The dissipating dark fragments started gathering once more as they converged on one location like tiny meteors in the air.
"This is just endless…"
The duo was troubled by the resilience of the dark mist.
They didn't notice a hole in the ground where the tall cliff once stood.
Inside the hole filled with dark lights, a cold and malicious gaze looked at the trio.
Specifically, the unknown observer was looking at Lilith but only for a moment before retreating by the time she felt something the owner of that gaze had disappeared, he was not ready yet, his transformation was not complete, and he had to delay them for finding out therefore under the man's will the dark mist increased.
Lilith frowned as she could swear that just a moment ago, she felt something but it disappeared and she couldn't feel it anymore. She frowned before ordering Althea to deploy a bigger shield, the latter nodded and deployed a barrier around them and then it started raining a black rain.
If there was another observer here then they would see a horrific scene.
Droplets of rain that were pitch-black in color fell from the sky, the storm was focused on a particular spot on the ground. That spot had a crystalline barrier blocking the rain droplets.
Tang! Tang!!!!!
It sounded like someone's banging loudly on the bell of a clock tower. The rain droplets hit the barrier in a futile manner, only causing ripples on the barrier before they returned to the sky. Then, the next wave of dark rain would come pouring down on the barrier, this kept on for multiple rounds.
The weird sounds echoed throughout the forest. The monsters who were in the area quickly ran away.
The sisters watched the endless rain from within the barrier.
The dark mist, black lights, and now, the black rain were nothing to them although they might be horrendous for others to deal with.
The problem lies with the sheer volume of the rain pouring down on them.
If they could just reduce the quantity then they could start fighting back.
Lilith reckoned this was the first time they fought something so annoying. Fighting foes their levels or even stronger enemies sounds better than fighting the dark lights that were weaker in power but had incredible resilience and apparent patience to keep coming at them without rest.
There is no end to a battle where both parties can't end the other.
At this rate, the duo would lose this battle of attrition first especially when Lilith was focused on checking something, focusing on analyzing the current situation. She never expected to encounter the same black light as Pandora, she had to study it, not recklessly, and destroy everything, they must find a concrete lead this time, hence her lackluster attitude.
Lilith heaved a sigh and looked ahead.
The dark mist and black lights didn't look like they are tiring themselves out either so the mortals with flesh will probably lose in the end.
They have to get rid of the dark mist and black lights as soon as possible. They won't die but running away is the only choice they can pick.
It's a bitter choice to make too.
Althea bitterly laughed. She turned towards her little wanting to say something but Lilith beat her first, raising a question.
"Althea, you still good?"
"Yes."
Althea nodded.
"The attacks aren't particularly strong. The risk of barrier breach is minimal. However, if this continues..."
"I know."
Lilith sighed and thought of a solution, she soon found a solution after recalling what Pandora said in a detailed report on the black light. Her eyes turned resolute as she opened her mouth and declared.
''Special Shadow Summon!''
Lilith's voice sounded like it pierced through the fabric of space and time. As she said it was a special summon, tracing back to her ancestry, her origin, this summons was one of the things she could do after regaining her former strength, the summon entered her body, and could feel a consciousness within her responding to her call.
Unconsciously Lilith grinned as her eyes flashed goldenly. Then, she started emitting a gargantuan amount of mana.
Her arm turned dark as magical veins ran down from her arm to her hand. Then, red mist floated up from her magical veins. The magic vapor went beyond her sister's barrier as it rose into the sky.
Lilith raised her transformed arm.
"Come forth! Divine Angel's Descent!"
Then a pillar of light today emerged.
It was golden in color. It didn't come with an overbearing shockwave of energies. No, it came into being with a warm light that reminded one of the soft glow of a winter's sun. It warmed anyone who basked in it.
When the light touched the black droplets, they instantly vaporized while sizzling like flames dowsed by water.
When Althea saw this and the golden light started brightening up, she could feel a particular feeling coming from this light, a comfortable feeling, the feeling of kinship.
Hum!
The dark red mist twisted as a figure slowly emerged.
Under the golden light's brilliance, the dark red mist turned golden too. When the whole thing became golden, a jet of air spread outwards as the figure finally manifested itself in this reality.
The figure that came from the dark red mist had three pairs of black wings. She had a halo and her eyes were closed. She also had striking black hair.
Althea flinched when she saw the figure. She didn't think her sister would summon a girl.
And, she's super pretty!
Althea finally understood why she got that feeling of kinship earlier, it was because they were from the same race.
Although she had black wings, there was a holy aura around this summon that seemed like it was trying to isolate the mortal plane from touching the angel's divine vessel. She had the air of a divine soul just like a certain saintess, just like Luna, Althea thought.
Luna's purity was something only humans could feel. However, this summon's holy aura could be felt even by the dark mist and black lights here.
The black lights sensed immense danger from this holy aura.
The black lights, rain droplets, and dark mist all stopped still. They shook as if they were trembling in terror. In an instant, they stopped all forms of attack.
Perhaps the summon sensed the twisted things around her, she opened her eyes and she revealed her turquoise blue eyes. She saw all she needed to see and she made her move.
She spread her arms wide as the golden light around her grew in intensity. Her radiance lit up the entire place, enveloping the dark mist and the dark lights.
Sizzle! Sizzle!!
The duo watched as she purified the dark mist, dark lights, and black rain droplets floating in the air. She slowly purged them from reality.
The sizzling noise continued for a while.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
It sounded like somebody was putting out a fire using an extinguisher.
The dark mist covering the sky was gone. There was a faint sheen of white mist lingering over the forest.
The white mist was just water vapor. It was not filled with the evil power that suffused the dark mist anymore. Moreover, the water vapor felt warm and rejuvenating to the touch, there was a holy vibe coming from it.
The power of purification!
That's one of the two abilities possessed by this shadow, the Divine Angel.
She's not built to harm others. Her attributes are all healing and purification, against curse attributes and dark elements, her powers are the best counters!
Since the dark mist and black lights could turn normal creatures into grotesque monsters that attacked anything in sight, it's fair to say the black lights are not in the healing and pure category. In this case, using her new shadow purification power was the best choice.
Lilith decided to use this method after recalling what Pandora said in her report, fortunately, she obtained a new skill in her shadow's ability tree after stepping into the False God realm again. Thinking about the many things she could accomplish with this ability she didn't possess previously, Lilith couldn't help but smile and for once thought that maybe reincarnating was not bad, her status changed from that of a normal royal family member to that of pure blood royalty, this gives her many opportunities.
