Chapter 1415
Chapter 1415
Perserque used magic to drive away a large number of powerful reptiles, dragons among them.Individually, they were no match for her, but there were simply too many of them to deal with while also avoiding the black swamp. Driving them all back would inevitably take a considerable amount of time, preventing her from providing any assistance.
Davey was fighting some being in the distance, so Kouna felt she had to do her part. Even as the continuous rumble occasionally threw off her balance, she ran toward the giant with black flames covering its body first. It was in the most critical state of all.
Unfortunately, it was tough to get close with its writhing in agony and thrashing about. However, her power wasn't restricted to just the strength she'd recently awakened.
[Haitai, help me out!]
Resonating with her will, the power of Haitai within enveloped her entire body.
Whoosh!!
Floating like a butterfly soaring through the air, she flew toward the giant, dodging its massive, wildly swinging arms.
Its skin, which possessed immense defense, was a mess. Even once she managed to put out the fire, it was clear that the flames that created the swamps would certainly leave severe burns across its body.
“AAARGH!!!”
“Hurts! Hurts! Fairy lady! Save me! Hurts so much!!”
“Kyaak!”
Neither the divine beast power she possessed nor her original strength worked at all. In fact, she was so mentally and physically exhausted from the power she'd used for purification moments before that she could barely use any of her power properly.
If anything, the giant was thrashing around, resisting her power and even trying to swallow her whole.
“What should I do...”
She had no intention to stand around helplessly and watch the situation spiral out of control. She quickly focused all her concentration on forcibly drawing out her power.
‘If only I could use my power...’
It was true that she'd grown somewhat. Yet, being so exhausted, there was a limit to the amount of power she could exert. Just as Davey had explained, she still couldn't draw out a large amount of power like when she went into a trance.
‘Move...’
Yet, in the end, she thought that it shouldn’t matter. After all, all that power ultimately belonged to her. It was hers to draw on and utilize fully.
However, it was true that there were a few problems. It normally took time for her to manifest her power, and its effective range was narrow.
It was also proving a challenge to subdue the giant, which was squirming on the ground, and prevent it from moving.
She recalled Davey’s earlier words.
- Your power doesn't grow. It's closer to returning. If you dig deeper, it's a different direction, but for now, understand it like that.
If his words were true, then even without falling into a trance, she should be able to use her full power and revert things back to normal.
‘Move!’
Unlike magic, she figured the power she’d awakened was based on her willpower. Therefore, forcing the dormant power to move had to depend on her will.
‘Move, I have to move now!’
Alas, the power wouldn't obey her will.
Swoosh!!
Just then, the giant's massive fist, which had been wildly flailing around, inadvertently came hurtling toward her.
Thud!!!
The divine beast power instinctively manifested to protect her from damage, but it couldn't prevent her from being flung away by the force.
“Argh!!!”
Her arm turned into a mess after being thrown tumbling across the ground. Given how exhausted she already was, her original strength wasn't coming out properly.
Nevertheless, she grit her teeth, got up, and walked forward once more.
‘Move.’
She had to do something! She knew she couldn't stay by Davey’s side if she couldn't even control a single power properly.
