Chapter 1256 Cap 1254: The insect war begins part 8  Pov Sakura's:

"< Nature Control: Elemental Army >" (old)

This damn old man used some item to screen transport himself away from me before casting a powerful spell stealing Mana from the surroundings, I could just feel his Holy Power mix with his Aura while chaining the power of nature, it made my blood boil with anger when he used this crude form of control to create false Elementals from all the elements to attack me.

"< Living Forest >" (I)

There were many enemies and regardless of their strength, they were invincible, the weakness of true Elementals is in their Core, but these things were just clusters of Elemental energy, they had nothing that could function with a mind or will of their own, they were just masses of energy in form humanoids.

To defeat them I would need to destroy their entire body, even without fighting I know that their bodies will just rebuild themselves using more elemental power and that's why I use one of my skills.

Similar to the power to create a Territory, I set out to create a forest using my vitality as a base.

When the trees begin to grow in the surroundings quickly, the branches move, attacking the enemies around me as well as the leaves flying like blades in a hurricane, cutting everything in their path.

With this, I could get closer to the old man avoiding direct fights against these things while his positions, with this I got closer to him while retreating and he still seemed to be preparing something.

"< Fury of the Forest >" (I)

Following my command, all the roots in the area grow and strengthen, heading towards the old man like large wooden snakes, but as soon as they reach his body, they pass through, making me realize it is an illusion.

"Where did he...ghaaa!" (I)

Before I tried to find him, I was hit by something that came down on top of me, causing me to collide with the ground, without wasting time traveling underground, once again absorbing the vitality I used in creating this forest, so I healed faster than normal.

When I left the ground I saw the Old Man near the Titan, the Runes in his eyes were shining while dozens of magic circles formed around the Eclipse Titan.

I was connected to the Titan as the one who summoned him or should I say, the one who created him here, but I'm not feeling anything that indicates what this old man is trying to do against the Titan."Let's find out..." (I)

I hide underground once again and use my connection with the Titan to make him attack this old man, without a will to direct his actions, the Titan acts based solely on instinct to the point of only attacking if he is attacked first.

I close my eyes and using this connection I use the Titan's eyes as my own while transmitting my will for him to recognize the old man as an enemy.

That's when he moved his arm to grab the old man only to be chained by chains he hadn't seen until he tried to move, that's when the Starfire on his wings hit spreading Starfire in all directions.

The chains binding his hands turned out to not be the only ones as several invisible chains appeared around him covered in Starfire.

I saw the chains come undone as the old man cut the hand holding the staff as the hand and staff were covered in Starfire, but as he did so the chains holding the Titan came loose causing a fist the size of a building to come down on the Titan old man who used a friendly shield to defend himself.

"(Now!)" (I)

"< Spear of the World >" (I)

I gather natural powers to form a Spear made of all the elements that comes out of the earth towards the back of the old man who notices my attack too late.

He throws a strange dummy away before being pierced by the Spear, his body is drained of everything before turning to dust in seconds, but while I was keeping an eye on the dying old man, the Eclipse Titan opened the mouth of his metallic Dragon head releasing a Starfire breath attack towards the puppet while transforming into the now naked old man, before he opened his eyes his body was covered by the breath attack.

"Let me help Hinata now." (I)

When I turned to Hinata, still fighting that woman dressed as a man, I noticed a change, her appearance was different, her eyes were now more slanted and her height was smaller, other than that, all other things were the same.

Hinata could feel my presence as easily as I feel her presence, we are two Familiars of the same Master, and thanks to that she felt me beneath her when dozens of strangely long fingers appeared around the enemy trying to pierce her body.

I waited for an opportunity where I was dodging before leaving the ground below her, bringing her legs together, the sudden attack made her lose her balance with two fingers going through her head and others going through some other areas of her body.

I thought I had finished, but that was when I felt an Aura fluctuation in her body as her body filled with dust that fell along with the fingertips passing through her leaving an intact body behind, this time the body was more muscular and tall, His appearance was even more masculine and he even had a beard now.

But before I could do anything, I crossed her body with my arm before making the Eclipse Titan use its Starfire on this enemy.The Titan runs a hand over its Starfire wings, seeming to grab a handful before throwing it where we were, I managed to quickly get out of the way of the attack and Hinata did the same.

I noticed before the Starfire arrived that woman dressed as a man, her body was covered in dust once again while her body became considerably smaller, but while her body seemed to still be changing as the Starfire enveloped her surroundings.

Hinata was opening her mouth to swallow her whole as she burned, but I pulled her arm to stop her.

"Not yet..." (I)

As we stood there watching the ground shook as a large tentacle of flesh emerged from the ground, it was dozens of meters wide and reached beyond the clouds in height, the pressure that was everywhere trying to go against the Eclipse Titan was emanating from this tentacle who had a disgusting Aura around him.

I didn't do anything and neither did Hinata, that's because this time the Eclipse Titan moved on its own as soon as this flesh tentacle appeared.

Soon many other smaller and thinner tentacles came out of the large tentacle, the smaller ones were faster while the larger one was slower from what I could observe, but I realized that they were not capable of hurting the Titan, at least not the smaller tentacles and while the bigger was clearly stronger yet was far from the speed to hit the Eclipse Titan.

I looked away following the fight only for what I could receive from my connection with the Titan as I was seeing the woman still on fire, every second more and more dust was being poured from her body while her face was continually changing.

This person was strange, her Aura is clearly not the same as those belonging to the Apostles of Truth, but her body is as bizarre as something they would create.

Her body is not just changing her face, her entire body is changing, in some cases even her eye and hair color, from her Aura it was as if she was losing part of herself as her Aura became weaker, I could silence until the vitality within her dwindled.

Just when her vitality was nearing the end she stopped screaming, I could see a change as Holy Power exploded from her body taking her Aura transforming into something else as her body was changing once again, but this time it was different, there was no usual dust, this time it felt like the outer layer of their bodies was melting, old skin giving way to new skin.

The mundane things were getting bigger and bigger, like hair color, eye color, height, and skin becoming more flabby and aged until his appearance was the same as the old man before.

I couldn't help but frown, I thought I killed him, but clearly, he's alive, I still don't know how this power works and I unfortunately can't leave something like that for the master to see later, I can't allow a variable in a plan already with so many unknown risks.

I realized that the Holy Power permeating his Aura was preventing the Starfire from reaching her body like a protective layer, so I let go of Hinata's arm.

"Don't leave anything left." (I)

"< Consume >" (Hinata)

Hinata enters the Starfire without worrying about whether she will be burned, we both know that a Master's power like that wouldn't hurt us.

The old man still has his eyes closed, but he was showing signs that he was going to wake up, Hinata before that puts her hand on his chest and seems to lightly push his body, but at that moment teeth form around him, drawing his silhouette while the The back of their bodies was disappearing, in the end it was as if space itself was devouring him and Hinata just pushed him inside.

"Yummy..." (Hinata)

"Don't let your guard down, more may come." (I)
