Endless Journey: Infinite Realms 280 Is this my End? Well, kinda

"Boom!"

Another rumble shook the whole Red Moon, which was accompanied by the appearance of another impact crater.
Out of this crater came out a gigantic angel carrying a woman in her arms.
Both of these individuals had strained expressions on their faces, with their eyes bloodshot and their faces pale.
Both of them seemed to be under some kind of stress that had been plaguing them until now.

"Woosh~"

3 seconds after these two women flew out of the crater, a massive red tower shot out of the crater, with its body heading directly towards the two.
"Go up!" The smaller of the two women said as the tower barreled towards them.
"Slish…"

The angel did her best to fly straight up, but it was not enough to dodge the tower.

Her left foot, which was a little extended, was clipped by the tower, turning it into a pile of flesh at the moment that the impact was made.

"Argh!" The angel cried out in pain as golden blood began to flow out of her mangled foot. Her eyes were trembling in agony while her similarly injured wings started to move erratically.

"F**k, we are so close already!" The smaller woman cursed out as the angel hobbled away from the tower.

With the injuries that the angel have right now, there is no guarantee on how long she could still last.
This was pretty apparent to everyone witnessing the 'fight', especially to both the angel and the woman.
The woman, who was no other than Delia herself, bit her lip tightly as her anxiousness began to increase.
"Tsk, there is still a minute left, which means that we still have to dodge 15 more attacks…" Delia thought to herself as she glanced at the angel's whole body. "If we were at our normal states, doing 15 more dodges will be possible. But right now… we can only hope for a miracle to happen."
As Delia looked more and more at the angel's body, she could not help but cringe after she saw all of her injuries.
The angel's head and torso were relatively uninjured, but the same cannot be said for her wings and limbs.

Out of all the angel's 14 wings, 10 of them were already injured, with broken bones sticking out of them and golden blood flowing freely.
The remaining 4 wings did not fare that well either, as signs of shallow wounds could also be seen all around them.
As for the angel's arms, they did not fare that well too. Her left arm was focused on cradling Delia, and fortunately, this arm was uninjured yet. But her right was not as lucky, as its shoulder and elbow portion were both dislocated out of their sockets.
Both of the angel's legs were injured greatly, with her right leg missing and her left leg mangled beyond recognition.
Delia could only let out a sigh as she saw all of these, as she knew that these injuries were the results of all the hits that the Demonic Tower made when the angel was unable to dodge in time.
Well, Delia and the angel were still lucky that their vitals were not yet hit by the Demonic Tower.

But with the exhaustion brought on by the angel's injuries and the mental pressure of predicting the next attack, the chances of the tower hitting them at the next attack is high!

"S**t! With this angel's injury, even if I can predict the perfect way to dodge, it will still be hard for us to dodge!" Delia thought to herself as her face turned red from panic.
"What the f**k should I do?" There is still a minute left before we can regain our powers! Can we even last that long?" Delia's thoughts started to turn pessimistic as she slowly realized the difficulty of her current situation.

"F**k! Fly down!" In the end, Delia was unable to make any new decision as the Demonic Tower rushed to them once more.

The angel, whose whole body was already near the brink of collapse, was unable to follow Delia's command.
As such, Delia and the angel could only watch as the massive tower hit them head on.
"Oh s**t!"
At the very last moment, before the tower could hit them, the angel suddenly hugged Delia tightly, as she used her own body to shield Delia from the Demonic Tower.
Her wings wrapped all around them protectively, with the angel's back turned towards the tower.

"Crack!"
Sounds of broken bones could be heard as Delia and the angel were both blasted away by the Demonic Tower up to the skies.
Trails of golden blood and fragments of broken bones filled the air, which undoubtedly came from the angel's body.
"Hahahaha! Now that is what I call a Smash!" The Red Demon's gloating voice came out of the tower as Delia and the angel started to fall towards the ground.

"Boom!" The sands of the Red Moon managed to cushion their fall, but there is no doubt that their already heavy injuries just worsened after having that kind of fall.

At first, everyone thought that Delia and the angel will both be dead already.
After all, they were just hit by a Demonic Tower head-on! There is no way that one can survive that, especially without powers!
But when the Red Demon observed the two, his eyes widened in amazement as he saw that both of them were still breathing.
"Eh, you two are still alive? How tenacious!"

Right now, broken bones could be seen sticking out of Delia's body, with her whole skin covered with blood.
Her blood vessels and her skeletal system were just unable to withstand the impact of the Demonic Tower, which led to them being like this.

Delia was lucky that the angel took the brunt of the attack, because this is the reason that Delia only got these injuries.
Had the angel been late on shielding Delia, there was no doubt that Delia could have been fine mist already!

As for the angel herself, her already injured body was now mutilated beyond recognition.
The angel's wings, which were the first to receive the smash, all disappeared, as they were all smashed by the tower into tiny pieces.
Her back, which was the second impact site of the tower, was basically turned into mush.
Mixtures of organs, bones and blood decorated the angel's back, and anyone squeamish might get sick if they saw it.
A closer look can see that a massive depression had also formed on the angel's back, with the depression making the most damage on the angel.
Almost all of her limbs were gone, with basically only her left arm still attached to her body.
To any observers that will see the angel's state, it will be easy to assume that she was already dead.

But just like what the Red Demon witnessed, some signs of life could still be seen on the angel!

Even if the angel's organs and body were almost destroyed, there was still some sliver of life and vitality left on her body.
Even if the angel was unable to move or speak right now, that sliver of life shows that she is still alive right now, even just barely!
Yes, she was close to dying right now, but she is not yet dead!

"Hmph, I should have expected this much. After all, you are still an Adjudicator of the Holy Order Plane. Your survival capabilities should have been always high." The Demon said as his Demonic Tower began to descend. "Well I don't care if you and that brat that you are holding are still alive. I just have to attack you one more time, and you two will be already dead."

"!!!" Delia, who was struggling to keep her consciousness, perfectly heard every word that the demon has said.
"Oh f**k! If I don't move right now, I will really die…" Delia thought to herself as she attempted to move her body.
There is no doubt that the Demon will attack once more, and this time around, Delia will be unable to dodge it!

"Survive! I must survive!" Delia already forgot the matter about the number of dodges inside her mind. What she was only thinking right now was on how to move and get out of the way.

But no matter what Delia did, she was unable to move. Her body was just so damaged that even the slightest twitch required almost all of her willpower.
"No!" As Delia struggled to move herself, her barely functional ears heard the anxious shouts of Milo and Tong'er.
There's no doubt that these two were both worried for Delia, as Delia can also taste the despair and hopelessness that has filled the whole air.
As she heard their shouts, Delia could not help but mentally sigh.
Even if she was perverted and always loved to lick the skins of these two, Delia knew that Milo and Tong'er were both attached to her deeply.
As such, it just hurt Delia more when she tasted their despair.
"S**t, if I just did not use my Black Ooze to nullify all of our powers, things could have gone differently here…" Delia thought to herself idly as she opened her eyes. "I really f**ked myself up this time, aren't I?"
"…"
At that point, Delia realized that she had thoroughly lost.
She lost because of her overconfidence, and because of how ridiculous her opponent was.
"Is this really the end for me?" Delia thought to herself as she looked up at the night sky.
Personally, Delia was not that afraid for her life. If she dies then she dies. Its just as simple as that.
However, Delia knew that such kinds of thought doesn't apply to her right now.

She had Milo and Tong'er as her Companions, which meant that if Delia dies, these two will die immediately.
Even if Delia does not care that much about her life, she cannot say the same thing about her Companions.

"Ah s**t, I failed my promise to keep them safe…" Delia thought as she let out a wheezing breath. "Father will surely be disappointed in me..."
By this point, Delia had already given up moving.
There is still 30 seconds left before her power comes back, which in this situation, was just an impossibly long time.
Without her powers and her ability to move, Delia knew it was already game over for her.
Thus, the only thing that she can do was to accept her death with dignity.

As Delia thought of these, she suddenly saw both Milo and Tong'er running towards her.
Their faces both looked scared, although Delia could see determination on their features.
"Big Sis, even if you were a pervert who likes to lick us, you were still the best sister that I ever had!" Tong'er shouted as she got nearer and nearer to Delia. "You think we will just let you die? Hah! Not on our watch!"

"Big Sis, even if you can't move anymore, we will do our best to save you. So, please hang on!" Milo, who was usually quiet, shouted these words as he struggled to follow Tong'er.
"These little brats… Are they trying to save you? Hahahaha! How amusing!" The Demon said as he also saw what Delia's Companions were doing. "Don't they know that they are powerless right now? How stupid! Well, well, well, if they want to die with you, then I shall grant that foolish wish of theirs!"

"You two… please don't come near me…" Delia thought as she shook her head. "You two don't have a way to help me now… If you come near me, you will just be squashed to death. At least if I am the only one who dies, you two will be able to die painlessly…"
These thoughts of Delia went unheard by everyone, which just made her guilt worse.

"Ah f**k, I just failed twice." Delia thought as she let out a wry smile. "These brats… they even want to join me on my final destination. Tsk, I really should have licked them more before…"
Still wearing that wry smile, Delia slowly looked up, which allowed her to see two comets streaking the night sky
As she observed the two comets, one bright blue and the other bright green, Delia's eyes twitched as she remembered a superstition from her homeland.

"According to my grandfather, if one sees two comets in the sky, one can make a wish that will absolutely come true." Delia thought as she observed the two comets. "Of course that is just bulls**t. But would it hurt for me to make a wish now? I am about to die anyway, so I guess I just have to make a wish…"

Delia then let out a sigh as she stared at the comets intently.

Her heart fluttered as she made a wish inside her mind.

"If there's anyone who can save us now, I wish they will arrive already…."

Delia could not help but smirk as she knew that her wish was just an impossibility.
Will someone actually arrive right now and save her? Heh, of course that will not happen!

Aside from her Companions and the cowardly Celestials, Delia has no ally left. For someone to magically appear and save her now is just a pipe dream.

"Well, at least I made a wish. I think this is enough for me." Delia thought with finality as she decided to focus her last moments on looking the comets.

After all, the green and blue comets just looked insanely beautiful.

"Huh?" At this point, Delia suddenly frowned as she noticed something about the twin comets. "Is it just me, or are these comets getting nearer and nearer to the Red Moon? Wait… the comets are really going here!"

Before the Demon could use his Demonic Tower to inflict his last attack on Delia, the two beautiful comets suddenly swerved towards the Red Moon, making everyone look at them with surprise.
A few seconds later, and the two comets just got larger and larger while approaching the Red Moon, which makes it obvious that they are about to hit the Red Moon!
"Huh? What kind of sorcery is this?" The Demon said as his tower stopped moving. "Who are these intruders trying to stop my fun?"

His eyes then strayed away from Delia as he began to vigilantly observe the two comets.
"…"
A few seconds later and his guarded expression disappeared as a delighted smile appeared on his face
"Oh… I see, I see, so he is here too." The Demon said aloud as he began to laugh. His eyes began to twinkle brightly as he let out an aura of amusement. "Hehehe, this just makes everything more interesting!"
