Scarblade Goddess 37 Chapter 36

"And soon, this beautIful place will be all gone, just like the winds.".

Miro gulped and felt a cold shoulder. Though, he still tried to ask her,

"W-what do you mean, G.o.ddess?".

She responded back,

It's because...I'll be destroying this world for the better.".

Miro took a step back, as Ieva made a call for judgement. Although, he was already convinced deep in his thoughts, regarding the place he was in,

"This illusionary place must be...a kind of flashback from G.o.ddess Ieva's memory, while she added me into the mix...".

Miro made a frustrated look, as he was engrossed in his disturbed thoughts,

"D*mn it! I don't understand why this G.o.ddess wants to destroy her world so badly.".

Ieva's smile wore off and it was replaced by a frown filled with deep grudge. She was noticing that Miro was grinding his teeth, while he was expressing a problematic look. She stood up. Then, she said with her low-pitched tone filled with negative vibes,

"Do you want to know why I want to destroy this prosperous world, even though my role is to be their guiding light and generous G.o.ddess?".

Miro responded back immediately,

"Yes."

Ieva sighed once more and told him,

"Have you seen those fishes?".

Miro replied to her question,

"Yeah, they were dead, as my eyes can see.".

Soon, she asked him another question,

"Have you noticed that there were no statues of sheer worship?".

Miro responded with a dubious look,

"Somehow yeah.".

As Ieva heard his reply, she turned around and had stopped looking at Miro. There after, she let out her flat statements, while she was looking beyond the sea,

"Now you know my reasons.".

Miro still wouldn't want to believe those desperate words from a G.o.ddess, so he tried to reason with her once again,

"But still that doesn't mean?".

Although, Ieva had grown tired of Miro pestering her, so she gritted her teeth and turned to look at him once again. Suddenly, she shouted at him, as she was truly p.i.s.sed,

"YOU KNOW NOTHING TRAVELLER! YOU KNOW NOTHING OF WHAT A G.o.dDESS FEELS LIKE!".

Even though, Ieva was shouting through her lungs, Miro was witnessing that Ieva was pouring out pitiful crystal tears that were falling down on her cheeks. The whole place began to freeze and the snowfall became heavy. G.o.ddess Ieva brought out her two chakrams filled with thorns that were made of frozen diamonds. Her weapons looked-like they were circular blades that had handles.

"Tch!",

Miro gritted his teeth, as G.o.ddess Ieva was truly desperate on her destructive ambitions. So he brought out his portable steel polearm and readied himself to battle. The winds were chilling to the bone, as Miro and Ieva were about to fight.

The next moment, Ieva cast out by swinging her chakrams,

"FIORANEUS STRIKE!".

The next moment, behind Miro, there emerged a shark made out of cl.u.s.tered ice crystals that was on its way to bite Miro. Although, Miro just moved sideways to dodge the frenzied shark. Though, Ieva dashed at Miro and made a somersault, while she was trying to slice him down using her chakrams. Thankfully, Miro was able to block Ieva's attack using his trusty polearm. Afterwards, Ieva gracefully returned to the place she was standing on before. Then, she tried to converse with Miro,

"Those fishes were like my primal gifts for them in which those fishes should be eaten and accepted. Yet instead, they just tarnished them and didn't accept my worldly blessings."

The next moment, she tried to dish out fast flurries and swings using her sharp chakrams' blades at Miro. Miro was able to block them but since, her attacks were freakin' fast he wasn't able to parry all of them. Afterwards, Ieva jumped back to her previous position and said,

"Since they were focused more on that HEARTLESS ENERGY...and killed my blessings instead.".

Miro noticed that Ieva let out a pure colorless tear once again. Although, Ieva just brushed it off. In turn, Miro was engrossed in his thoughts,

"I guess those fishes matter a lot to her.".

Soon, he asked her,

"Then, why didn't you ask them to stop?!".

G.o.ddess Ieva exclaimed fast,

"I DID!".

Soon, she raised her left hand up to the midnight sky and she cast out with a loud voice,

"SHIVA'S STARDUST!".

The next moment, a forceful blizzard had surged throughout the whole area. The freezing storm was too powerful, making Miro to have a hard time anchoring and balancing himself down. Moreover, the strong chilling gale was flinging out sharp snowflakes at Miro, turning him to get minor wounds and cuts as well. As Ieva was witnessing that Miro was struggling hard from the sudden snowstorm. She grabbed the opportunity and tried to dish out powerful flurries and strikes with her twisting chakrams. Miro couldn't block her attacks due to the severe storm, so he had gotten lots of deep wounds in the process,

"GAAAHHH!".

Sooner or later, Ieva had stopped on her onslaught and stood in front of Miro who was almost down on the ground. She grabbed his sleeve. Then, she gave him a cold stare and said,

"Wanna know what they did to me?!".

Miro was huffing and panting but, he still tried to respond,

"Yea?".

Ieva gritted her teeth, as she was full of deep hatred and grudge,

"THEY STONED ME TO DEATH AND THEY ACCUSED ME OF A CRAZY GIRL!".

Afterwards, Ieva threw Miro to the wall. As Miro's back had hit on the wall, he felt a sudden jolt of pain from his spine, making him to cough out crimson blood. Ieva went afloat and went near the battered Miro. Miro was catching his breath, as he was exhausted. Though, he still responded to Ieva's statement,

"I see...so that's your reason.".

Ieva just crossed her arms and replied back, since she doesn't want to finish him for some reason,

"Little did they know, that I'm a G.o.ddess who could rise from the dead and live on again.".

Miro responded back with a frustrated expression,

"So you've turned everything into ice?! Just to dish out your, REVENGE?".

Ieva replied,

"Call it as you may but I prefer to call it, JUDGEMENT!".

She sighed and looked at him straight,

"Yet, there's one city that survived my judgement, so I want you to destroy it, if you truly care for a G.o.dDESS'S SAKE.".

Miro tried to get up once more and grip his polearm. He approached Ieva and swung his polearm at her. Although, Ieva just grabbed his polearm without even breaking a sweat. She sighed, as she felt that the battle was pointless. Suddenly, she raised her vacant hand and snapped her fingers. In a split second, Miro felt that something sharp and cold had stabbed through his back. He looked down and noticed that a frozen pillar had penetrated through his lower torso. The sudden pain was real but, no blood came out, even though the damage was severe.

Afterwards, Miro had snapped out from the trance he was set in. The illusionary world was no more and he was back at the sealed frozen cavern. Thereupon, he was seeing the egg-shaped crystal once again. He was now convinced that G.o.ddess Ieva was the one inside the frigid sh.e.l.l. He even noticed that his body wasn't wounded from the start as well, it's as if everything he had seen previously was just inside his mind. Soon, Ieva told Miro through his thoughts again,

"Also, this JUDGEMENT was approved by the CELESTIA HEAVENS above.".

Ieva used her magic and poof out a piece of paper in front of Miro. Miro grabbed it and read its important information out loud,

"This is to certify that the WORLD DESTRUCTION and WORLD RECREATION to the world of BLISSIA was approved by the CELESTIA HEAVENS COUNCIL.".

It appeared that the G.o.ddesses and G.o.ds in Celestia Heavens have some kind of process, regarding the state of their worlds. As Miro was reading the said letter of approval by the Celestia Heavens, he was even more disturbed, as he kept on skimming through it. A little while later, Miro was finally finished of reading the said letter of approval. Although, he recalled the alarming infromation deep in his thoughts,

"So it was approved...and there are other BIGWIGS other than Mara. I reckon she goes by the name WEISSIA, the over-all Celestia G.o.ddess Queen. Then, there were also the council of BLACK, WHITE, BLUE, and PINK. Lastly, the other one who doesn't have a name but he/she is called THE GREAT OBSERVER. All of them must be running the Celestia Heavens, I think?".

It appeared the Celestia Heavens was deeper and broader in construct than anyone could've thought, since there's some kind of heirarchy, in which Ieva needed their utmost approval. Ieva insisted Miro to keep that important piece of paper for some reason. Maybe Miro will need it later on? Soon, Miro had stopped arguing with the thick-headed Ieva, so he just told her straight,

"Okay, I get your point. But sorry, I won't be the one who shall kill and destroy innocent lives. Ask somebody else.".

G.o.ddess Ieva wasn't happy of his response, so she just replied with a cold tone,

"I see...THEN, LEAVE THIS SACRED PLACE TRAVELLER! Or should I say...FALLEN.".

At the left side, there was a sudden crack that bore an exit, as she wanted Miro out of her face. Miro put the important paper in his pocket and he left the G.o.ddess's sacred sanctuary afterwards. For some reason, there was a white teddy bear near G.o.ddess Ieva's sh.e.l.led form. As Miro was out of the frigid cavern, he was seeing the thick blanket of snow and cloudy skies above. While he was traversing through the snowy path, he was still p.i.s.sed off of Ieva's behavior,

"Ieva huh, she's some G.o.ddess alright..."

Soon, he remebered some other things,

"I wonder how G.o.ddess Otorine and G.o.ddess Yumine are doing now?".

Meanwhile, back at Otorine's pitiful situation, Otorine, Shunya, and Yumine were back at the cozy cabin that was provided for them. Otorine was sitting on the comfy couch, while Yumine and Shunya were playing chess near the fireplace. Soon, an intimidating guard opened the door and said to the three G.o.ddesses in chains,

"You shall have another companion and he's a male. Though, you three shouldn't worry that much, since he's in tight chains if ever he does anything offensive to you.".

Then, another guard entered with Aron bound in lots of chains. The three G.o.ddesses were all utterly shocked. Compared to the three G.o.ddesses, Aron's chains were wrapped around all over his arms and body. It appeared he was totally immobilized in chains. The two guards left the place and closed the iron door later on. Suddenly, Aron wore an optimistic smile and greeted the three G.o.ddesses,

"H-hey there girls! I'm here to rescue you!".

Although, Otorine, Yumine, and Shunya were seedy-eyed and weren't happy when they heard that from the bounded Aron. Yumine just rolled down her eyes and said with a sarcastic look,

"This is our reinforcement?".

Aron replied with a playful smile,

"Hehe yeah...I'm the reinforcement...".

Yumine sighed,

"We're doomed...".

Though, Aron said immediately in order to fill their hopes up,

"Nah...I'm just one of the reinforcements sent here. There's Senku, Miro, and that tiny Na.s.sus. Sadly, we all got seperated somehow and it's not my fault by the way!".

When Yumine heard Miro's name from Aron's statement her cat ears and feline tail popped out. More than that, her cheeks turned red as a strawberry like she was a fl.u.s.tered teenage girl. She asked Aron again if she heard it correctly,

"D-did you say M-Miro?".

Aron looked dumbstruck but, he just replied back again,

"Yeah, why?".

Although, he was witnessing that G.o.ddess Yumine was acting really strange, as her tail was wagging relentlessly and she looked very much fl.u.s.tered. Thereon, he was disturbed in his deep thoughts,

"To think this b*tchy G.o.ddess is interested in a freaking minotaur! She's a f*cking furry!".

Since, he was being crept out by the blushing Yumine, he turned to look at Otorine who was sitting on the couch. Suddenly, his ears clapped and he went near her side immedaitely. Otorine felt surprised. Aron tried talking to her like he was a smooth-talker,

"Since, we're here now my beloved, why don't we have a dinner da—!".

That sudden moment, Shunya kicked his b.a.l.l.s between his legs, making Aron to bite his lip and felt the paralytic pain. Then, Shunya exclaimed to him,

"Stop hara.s.sing big sis Ori! You crazy womanizer!".

It appeared Shunya was acting like the little sister who's overprotective to her big sister. Since, Shunya doesn't want Otorine to be with a playboy. As for Otorine, she just ignored the paralyzed Aron down on the floor. As she remembered that her young Na.s.sus was one of the reinforcements as well, she made a deeply worried look. Then, she was absorbed in her thoughts,

"I hope he's doing okay. Please don't eat anything weird Na.s.sus.".

The funny thing is, G.o.ddess Otorine was the one who's fond of weird food. She's really a strange G.o.ddess.
