The powerful surge of energy suppressed any spiritual energy in the vicinity, creating a suffocating pressure that nearly brought Wilbur and Symon to their knees. Under this immense force, Symon''s face twitched with shock as he eximed, "Aisha, that wretched woman! She''s sacrificed her soul to an evil god."


    "This is uneptable!" he growled. "I cannot allow the evil god to manifest. I must destroy her before she gains the evil god''s protection!"


    Determined, Symon raised his staff and shouted, "Light Giant, unleash your full power and destroy Aisha!"


    A fierce wind whipped around them as Symon roared hismand. The Light Giant, obeying its master, charged toward Aisha, swinging a powerful fist at the swirling vortex in the sky.


    Boom!


    The giant''s punchnded heavily on the vortex, but the storm only grew stronger. The Light Giant''s body was now encased in a shimmering white protective shield, indicating it was using all its strength. Despite its effort, the vortex''s immense energy forced the Light Giant back dozens of meters. Struggling to regain its footing, the vortex transformed into a massive ck serpent. Its eyes glowed blood-red as Aisha appeared atop its head, her lower body fused with the serpent.


    The serpent reared back, opening its enormous jaws, and in an instant, mped down on the Light Giant''s left shoulder. Aisha dered triumphantly, "Light Giant, give me all your power!"


    At her words, the Light Giant dissolved into a beam of white light, which the serpent absorbed. Aisha threw her head back,ughing maniacally.


    "Hahaha! Symon, do you see now? This is my true power. Today, you all will die here."


    Symon quickly turned to look at Wilbur, but before he could speak, the serpent struck again, swallowing Symon whole. Aisha then fixed her gaze on Wilbur, saying, "Now, Mister Wilbur, it''s your turn."


    The serpent hissed, its forked tongue flickering, and its icy eyes locked onto Wilbur. Taking a cautious step back, Wilbur spoke, "Miss Aisha, congrattions. The Light Helmet is yours now. I''ve never been interested in it. I''ve always been on your side. We aren''t enemies, are we?"


    Aisha scoffed, "Oh, Mister Wilbur, you''re right, but unfortunately, I never saw you as my ally. Bringing you to the Kook Inds was a ruse to deal with you and reim the Light Gloves. Of course, you''re different from Symon. If you''re willing to offer your soul to the evil god Bahamut, we could even be one. I need a strong man like you."


    Wilbur''s gaze hardened as he retorted, "I''m afraid I have no interest in you."


    "What? How dare you refuse me, you wretched man! Then you shall die!"


    Enraged, Aisha screamed andmanded the ck serpent to strike at Wilbur. He leaped into the air, narrowly evading the serpent''s jaws. As he ascended, he chanted a spell, activating the Iris Veritas.


    With the Iris Veritas, Wilbur saw a tendril of ck energy extending from Aisha''s back to the sky, which confirmed his suspicion. Aisha had indeed sacrificed herself to the evil god and be its puppet.
