Almost as tall as an adult man, almost the same shape as well. The being of pure white slowly turned our way.
Instead of a face were just teeth. It slowly raised its hands, and on its palms were more teeth yet.
I looked around me first, all of us were there.
The being's body continued to tear apart as more and more teeth revealed themselves.
A voice suddenly rang in my head.
"Circle it."
It was Kai. He used his Ki to communicate with us. I sensed everyone moving around in a circle. Bael and Yvas slowly went behind the being while the others cornered all of its sides.
The teeth and eyes kept spasming open and close.
My hand touched a pillar at the back.
"This…"
Slowly, I turned my gaze toward the pillar too.
An eye popped open through its length, tearing it apart.
"KYAAAAAAAA!"
The being's scream shattered through the space as the pillars waved around in a strange pattern.
In the blink of an eye, the being that was eyeing us from the distance suddenly moved.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It moves."
With completely relaxed words, Yvas announced the movement and the being dashed off… not.
It tried to move ahead but always fell back right where it was. The air around it contracted and expanded as Cosmos held it firm in her spatial magic without batting an eye.
A giant magic circle formed above the being as the principal swung his staff and chanted words as if he were speed-reading a book.
But my eyes were stuck on the pillars. They were moving, squirming, at a level one couldn't figure out unless they touched it.
While the others battled, I shouted out loud.
"Albert! Luka! Check the pillars!"
The others didn't bat an eye as Luka and Albert dashed through the mist and toward the pillars around.
The spell of the principal came to completion. The air rumbled, and the ground quaked. Space itself tore apart along with the barrier keeping the being inside as an enormous sword came thundering down on the being.
A feral scream echoed and the sword split the being in half from the top down.
It should have been over. Few could survive being split vertically, like clones for one.
Albert called out to us. "These pillars are alive! They are its heart!!"
His eyes were glowing and multiple magic circles were around him, it seemed his analysis magic had few limits.
At that very moment, the three pillars that Luka, Albert, and I stood around started squirming and writhing. We could only blink as the pillars took the form of the same white being with a hundred teeth on its body.
Luka swung his Ki and chopped off its neck, but that wasn't enough yet. The being still moved and swung its arm at Luka.
In the blink of an eye, Luka took a slight distance and covered his body in his Ki. Like a cannon shooting out of a tank straight, he dashed into the being and collided with it. The being was ripped apart in shreds.
"What was that? Is he a hedgehog?"
"Eugy, you might want to look at your own troubles first."
I was constantly dodging the stupid swings of the being in front of me as I looked at Luka. I hopped up and avoided a giant chomp of extended teeth before turning toward Albert this time.
On the other side, Albert was having a hard time with the being. He could dodge, but there was nothing in his arsenal with enough firepower to destroy the thing.
Albert kept jumping back when Girighet suddenly appeared behind the being.
He tapped the being's shoulder. White teeth appeared on it as it turned around, it looked like it was pissed but it had no brows to furrow, not like I would be seeing those if it did.
The being then punched Girghet, it's fist went hurtling through the air and slammed right into the Over God's cheeks and—
—The being itself flew away.
Girighet then took out a small dagger and began stabbing himself. Even though the Over God was hurt, no wounds appeared on his body and the only squirming one was the being.
The being melted away right as Girighet stabbed his arm. With nothing else to latch on to, the wound fell on him and the Over God screamed in agony.
"What a fool."
"Eugy, seriously, deal with your own thing."
I looked back in front at last. It seemed dodging all the attacks of the being had pissed it off as its teeth clattered together.
Sighing, I snapped my fingers and the purple shade of my eyes turned deeper. A strand of black fell into my white hair as Mana and Ki mixed inside my circuits.
"Stop gritting your teeth, you look like you eat mint chocolate."
"Hey, what's wrong with mint chocolates!?" Kai screamed from behind and was promptly hit by Cosmos.
The being seemed to have been offended a notch further.
It lunged at me, teeth covering its entire body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[World's End Beam]
Butterflies of black emerged from my palm and swarmed the being, when they moved away the being was no longer around. Six more pillars started squirming about.
"Not this time."
Vrede clapped her hands and in moments, the squirming beings that had come to life started to hit each other. What was three before had turned to six, and there looked to be no end to the pillars.
"We'll have to take down all the pillars," said Albert, running to more of them. "There must be some of them that contain its heart."
"Did you analyze all of that, child?" Yvas' words rang in the strangely peaceful atmosphere. "How so?"
"I read its structure."
A whisper reached my ears.
"That can be done?" asked Titania, and I shrugged. It's Albert, even I didn't know what all he could and couldn't do.
"Oh my god…" a sniffle rang this time. "There's just so much fighting, I just want it to be over. Hick…"
Barbatos was crying as usual. She wiped her tears and her hair started floating above the ground. An enormous magic circle incomparable to whatever the principal had summoned grew from her feet and filled all directions.
Hundreds of thousands of ghosts and wraiths and spirits emerged from the circle and crashed into the pillars.
"Oh! Not bad!" Lucifuge chanted too and started sending bats of bluish-black flames into the pillars, setting them ablaze.
"There's no end to these things, though…" Vrede's words were met with a collective scoff.
If there was no end, we just had to make one.
For a short yet long while, screams rang all over the place, and not long after the pillars were all gone.
"So, Yvas," I hummed. "You actually found this difficult? Are you weaker than a fly or something?"
"Watch your words, child—"
We didn't have to for long.
Because the world around us collapsed.
