Chapter 42: The Fury Unleashed

The fight between Uraume and Umbra's wives continued, fierce and unrelenting. Aeloria, her severed limb still in Uraume's grip, cast a spell. The limb started to glow with violent energy, crackling with power as if on the verge of exploding. Uraume's eyes narrowed, sensing the danger.

"This can destroy a universe," Uraume said coldly, tossing the limb aside as it hovered in the air, ready to detonate. "And you use it here, where Umbra's children live? You need to die. You were about to kill everything he loves."

Akari's eyes blazed as she stepped forward, her sword gleaming with purpose. "Umbra? How do you know him?"

But Uraume didn't respond. To her, it didn't matter. The answer was irrelevant. Akari, filled with rage, rushed in with her sword, clashing against Uraume's blade in a flurry of sparks. The sound of metal rang through the air as the two warriors exchanged blows, their movements fast and deadly.

While Uraume and Akari were locked in combat, Selene, the vampire queen, unleashed a barrage of blood-forged weapons—spikes, blades, and spears—all aimed directly at Uraume. But Uraume dodged them effortlessly, her movements precise as she fought Akari and avoided Selene's attack at the same time.

Seraphina, goddess of dragons, roared as she rushed in, her fist blazing with raw power. She punched Uraume square in the chest, but Uraume didn't flinch. Instead, Seraphina screamed in agony as her arm shattered on impact. Uraume looked at her with a cold, unfeeling gaze.

"You thought you could harm me?" Uraume said, her voice dripping with contempt. Seraphina fell back, clutching her broken arm, her dragon strength useless against Uraume's overwhelming presence.

The other wives wasted no time. They all moved together, launching their attacks in unison. Aeloria, despite her injury, chanted powerful spells, filling the air with swirling magic. Nyxara, mistress of demons, summoned legions of dark creatures, sending them to swarm Uraume. The sky above darkened as her demons clawed at reality itself.

Akari, relentless as ever, swung her sword in a deadly arc, aiming for Uraume's neck. Her blade connected with a solid strike, but Uraume moved faster, deflecting the blow with her hand. In the same breath, Uraume delivered a devastating punch to Akari's stomach, her fist tearing through Akari's armor and body as if it were paper. Akari gasped in pain, blood spilling from her mouth as she staggered.

Uraume's expression remained stoic as she grabbed each of them, one by one, lifting them like they were nothing. Akari, Selene, Aeloria, Seraphina, and Nyxara—all of them, battered and bloodied, were hoisted into the air.

"This is the price for standing against me," Uraume said quietly, her voice carrying an ominous weight. She walked toward the edge of the kingdom, her hand gripping all five of them tightly. With a single, effortless movement, she tossed them outside the barrier of the kingdom, sending them crashing into the desolate lands beyond.
