Chapter 1117 The Agonizing Imprisoned Slave
-----
It had the body of a gryphon resembling a golden feathered phoenix, and where the head would be, there was instead the body of a feathered woman. Her entire body covered on metallic scales and her skin too, was golden and metallic. She had two sharp, crimson eyes, and long arms with sharp talon-like claws. She emanated a powerful presence, at least in the realm of a Tier 10 entity. Her size... it was hard to tell, but she was at least ten meters of height.
However, she wasn't free. She had been trapped inside of this place perhaps for how many eons. Her body was covered on wounds, sharp golden stakes piercing her ribs, stomach, back, neck, and all her limbs. Her blood dripping from each wound, covering the floor with a glossy, metallic gold colored liquid, her blood was like this, somehow.
"It hurts... Help me... Please..."
As she whispered, it felt like she talked directly into our minds. Her sharp crimson eyes glancing at us, finally directing themselves somewhere. The light emanated by my mother's magic quickly gave her light for the first time in perhaps eons.
"W-What is this?" Aquarina muttered, stepping back. "S-Some kind of... person? A monster?"
"She's in pain!" Mist cried. "We have to help her; it doesn't matter what she is!"
Mist quickly ran towards her help, but we all felt a strong bloodlust out of nowhere, the sea of golden blood that was spilling from her wounds shook, materializing into gigantic golden tentacles, attacking Mist.
"MIST!"
I ran towards her as fast as possible, managing to grab her by her dress and dragging her back a second before my mother's barriers of light were to protect us from the golden tentacles.
CRAAASH!
"Uwaaah!" Mist cried in horror, as she saw in disbelief the still suffering entity, her crimson eyes glowing bright red. There were cracks growing over her metallic, golden face. "W-What happened?! Why did you...?"
"Mist, don't simply jump to conclusions right away!" My mother said. "Just because someone or something is in danger, it doesn't mean you must heal them right away. Think about it! This entity, it has been here for thousands of years with the same wounds, and it hasn't died, hasn't it?"
"T-That's..." Mist muttered, feeling slightly embarrassed and sad at the same time.
However, in that split second, my mother expanded a domain we've never seen before. Her Divine Aspect shining the brightest from within her Magic Circle, activating and unleashing a world of pure light.
With a mere word from her, all the thousands of Orichalcum flying weapons were sent back where they came from, hitting the treasury behind us and exploding into pieces. My mother swiftly expanded her domain around her some more.
Within her domain, it felt like she could control everything!
"[Absolutely Heavenly Domain]: [Restraint]"
FLAAASH!
A flash of bright light encompassed the creature, her control over the liquid metal weakened, as it became much harder for her to control everything. She groaned in pain, the light felt like a powerful pressure on her body.
"Sylphy, everyone! I need you to go there and break the chains wrapping her around. Take the stakes if possible too!" My mother commanded us.
"The stakes too?" I asked. "But wouldn't that be dangerous, mom?!"
"No, trust me. Those things, the pain she's feeling... It is what's making her so distressed! If we can alleviate her of that pain, I think she would calm down a bit." She sighed. "I'll control things in the background, I'll protect your lives. Don't worry!"
We looked at one another and nodded right away. We trusted my mother, so we decided to quickly do as she asked us.
"Alright mom, leave it to us!" I roared, unsheathing Scarlet and imbuing my sword with the power of Void and Draconic Energy. "Let's go!"
I rushed forwards, Aquarina ran right by my left side, Celeste flew above us, Mist ran behind me, and Lara was to my right side. We all conjured our strongest spells, greeting the smaller Liquid Orichalcum Tentacles and Hands.
CLAAASH!
