Inside the ice crystal deep inside Nova's mind Seilah stood face to face with Nova. Seilah grabbed Nova's arm and said, "It's been a long time, Nova. Have you finally come to your senses?" Nova stood there in silence; small ice shards started coming out of her hand. The shards swiftly turned into giant ice spikes. Seilah dodged them quickly, but her hand was pierced with ice shards; black blood started leaking from Seilah's hand. Nova started firing more spikes towards Seilah while saying, "Demon, this time I will kill you for sure." Seilah used her hexes' magic to destroy the incoming spikes. She rushed in and used her hexes' magic to enhance her arms. She punched Nova in the stomach multiple times. Nova grabbed Seilah's head and kneed her in the stomach. Seilah swiftly countered with a kick to the head; Nova was disorientated. Swiftly, Seilah used her hex magic to create red chains that restrained Nova. Seilah walked up to Nova, all bloody, and said, "Did that dragon remove your common sense?" I am trying to help you, Nova; please listen." Nova started shaking her body rapidly as the chains started to freeze solid; she shattered them and then punched Seilah in the face. Seilah fell to her knees; Nova stood in front of her and Creating an ice sword, she spoke in a cold tone. "This is you end," but then Nova started screaming as multiple images of Seilah flashed through her mind. Her eyes were shaking uncontrollably; she fell on the floor as she started screaming in pain. Nova shouted, "MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!" Seilah got back on her feet and stood next to Nova while looking into deep space. She said, "So you surprised her memories of me, didn't you, Ophis?" A gigantic blizzard started covering the surrounding space as a white dragon with four wings flew down in front of Seilah. Ophis looked directly at Seilah and spoke, "Yes, I did. Nova doesn't need you anymore." Ophis lifted its claw up and was about to slam it down on Seilah, but then Seilah said, "Don't you realise that Nova can't contain your power? If she continues on like this, she will die." Ophis laughed in response and said, "So I will just revive her. Even if she dies thousands of times over, I will bring her back until she can handle my power." Ophis's claw slammed down on Seilah but then. Seilah used her hexes' magic to push the claw back; she punched Ophis in the head and then jumped into the sky. She used her hexes' magic to create a gigantic spike, which she used to impale Ophis's wings. Shortly after Seilah fired multiple red spears into Ophis's body, she used a spell called "Cthulhu Might"; the spears exploded and created a gigantic explosion. The smoke covered the whole space. Seilah could hear Ophis laughing through the smoke. Seilah walked through the smoke, but when the smoke faded, Ophis disappeared. Seilah still felt Ophis's presence when she started walking towards Nova Ophis spoke in a calm tone. "Well done, Seilah. You are indeed worthy." Seilah looked to the sky and said, "Was this just a test?" Ophis reappeared in the sky and said, "Yes, this was the last time I am going to be able to manifest. Please watch over Nova for me." Ophis's body turned into a bright shining light. When the light faded, an icy throbbing heart was floating in the air. Seilah walked up to it and said, "This is Ophis's draconic essence." Seilah picked up the draconic essence and walked towards Nova. Seilah grabbed Nova's shoulders as Nova turned around. Seilah saw her crying. Seilah said, "Why are you crying?" Nova stood up and said, "I ended up hurting you and Kairi. I forget everything about you guys, and it hurts." Seilah hugged Nova as Nova was crying. Seilah rubbed her hand up and down her back; Nova's breath became stable. Seilah said, "Nova, it's time that we balance your power." Seilah reached out her arm and said, "When you're ready, grab my hand." Nova stood up and grabbed Seilah's hand. Hex magic started to cover Nova's whole body. Her blue veins shone bright, then they shortly turned black. Nova spoke in a surprising tone, "My body feels stable." Seilah stood there and smiled; her body started to vanish. Seilah stood and said, "This is goodbye, Nova. It was a fun ride." Seilah started to fade rapidly. Nova stood there with a serious look on her face. She used every last bit of her aspect magic to use a grand spell called "Soul Rebirth". The spell created a spiritual core that flew inside Seilah's chest; she stopped fading as her body was restored. Seilah was dumbfounded. She said, "Nova, you didn't only restore me, but you gave me life. Why?" Nova walked over to Ophis's draconic essence and said, "You are a part of me and you always will be, and now you are able to fight alongside me." Seilah stood on the opposite side of the dragon essence. Nova picked up the draconic essence and said, "It's time that we joined the fight." Nova started to devour the draconic essence; a massive amount of power started to flow into Nova's body. Seilah noticed that Nova's mana flow was being overwhelmed by all the sudden power that was flowing into her. Seilah placed her hand on Nova's body and started adjusting her flow of mana, allowing Nova to use Ophis's full power at will. Nova fully devoured the essence. Seilah walked up to her and said, "How do you feel, Nova?" Nova laughed and said, "I feel amazing, Seilah." Seilah reached out her arm, and a pair of small devil horns appeared in her hand. She said, "This belongs to you; it's the Sin of Pride that once belonged to your father." Nova grabbed the horns and absorbed them; her left eye turned bright red as she fully absorbed the Sin of Pride. Seilah said, "It's time to go." Nova nodded her head, but when she was about to leave Seilah released a massive amount of mana into the sky. Nova turned around and saw Seilah change into a beast-like form. Nova said, "Seilah, what is this?" Seilah's voice became deeper as she responded, "This is my chimaera form. If I weren't a fragment of your mind, this would be the form you would see me in." Nova smiled and started heading towards the bright light in the distance. Maria was standing right in front of the giant ice crystal. Kairi was doing her best to stop her, but Maria was overpowering her in every way. Kairi's breathing was heavy; she was exhausted, but she still stood there in her fighting stance on the verge of passing out, but then. The ice crystal started to break. A ferocious roar came from within the crystal; it fully shattered as Seilah flew around the area and returned to Nova side. Maria looked up and smiled; she said, "Looks like you're finally ready to fight Ice Dragon Nova." She punched Kairi in the stomach and started charging up a powerful chaos spell, but before she could fire it, Seilah wrapped her tail around Kairi and dragged her into the air. Nova summoned her ice spear and said, "Seilah, protect the other; this one is mine." Seilah flew Kairi over to the others as Nova pointed her spear at Maria and dashed directly towards her. Maria smiled while dashing at full speed towards Nova; the two dragons were about to begin their battle.
