GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



Litori didn't smile and neither did she feel joy for her victory. But she intends to enjoy looting her dead enemy. She took one step toward the things he left behind before she had to stop. She became alert immediately because she sensed a sudden attack on her. Someone entered her domain and is gaining on her with a weapon poised for an attack. 

Litori was stunned. She isn't stunned because someone is taking advantage of her weakened state after a fight. That is common and to be expected. She is stunned because It shouldn't be happening in the first place. Her domain is always up so the person ought to go up in flames. And yet, they are fine and dandy as if immune to the effect of her domain. 

She didn't let her surprise distract her though. She attacked them even before they reached her. Using the phantom weapons to defend herself is too cumbersome, stressful, and slow. They will not be fast enough to intercept this person. So she used her spiritual attack. An invisible arrow came out of her eyes and shot forwards toward her assailant.

The arrow struck the person head-on. It did nothing. There was no feedback from the person. There were no emotions to ignite. There is only a cold and steely will to kill Litori. Litori's eyes widened in shock. This has only ever happened once and it means her doom. There's nothing else she can do. 120 meters is very short for transcendents and this person is already 20 meters away. 

A spear entered her chest and came out the other end. Litori took a step back both because of pain and shock. She held the spear as she looked at the face of her killer. The person didn't seem happy at having killed her. Their face remained equally cold just like hers.

"Who would have thought that you can extend your divine sense? Salvin surely didn't." The person spoke without inflection. Their voice was cold, without tone or emotion. "I lied too by the way. That's obvious now. Anyway, thanks for killing my brother."

That's what Litori heard before she died. Her body had taken too much damage. Her mind couldn't hold on anymore so her brand activated to save her consciousness from damage. It was only after her body disappeared that her killer smiled. Their placid face rippled and changed as it became overcome with emotions.contemporary romance

Salvini grinned to herself. "Killing two birds with one stone is great. The only thing better is killing three birds with one stone."

She pretended to be weak to Litori. It is part truth and part deception. She is indeed weak to spiritual attacks and the flames of an ephemeral flame wielder. It is just that Litori's attack has a weak spiritual component. What makes her attacks deadly is that it uses emotions as fuel. The weak spiritual attack ignites emotions to create a lethal effect. The spiritual attack itself does almost no damage to its target.

The obvious solution is to eliminate your emotions. Then the spiritual attack won't get a hold on you. Salvini can eliminate her emotions. It is not easy to do especially when you are in a dire situation. Her fight with Litori was dangerous. She could have died if she had stayed around. There was so much going on then that it made it difficult for her to eliminate her emotions. But she survived and had time to meditate and eliminate her emotions.

Her pure bloodline of the first sage grants the control of her emotions. It is very important to be able to keep your mind tranquil when you look into the future. It will prevent you from going mad and fracturing your mind. A cold mind is also good for scheming. It helps to control the fate of people according to your whims without a shred of mercy or pity.

So she is capable of eliminating her emotions and returning for a second round against Litori but she didn't do so. An enemy that you can defeat is not a threat anymore. Instead of going after immediate benefits, she looked to the future for long term gains. She began planning for people that are real threats to her. Some of those people that she can't defeat or overcome are her brothers.

Salvini is the weakest of the three of them. It is a fact that has been tried and tested several times. Salvos can roast her with one move regardless of her ability to see it before it happens. His attacks are undodgeable and unblockable. Salvin can defeat her with his multitudes of phantom weapons. They will attack her from every direction and angle. It doesn't matter if she can see them coming or not. His attacks are blockable but undodgeable in large enough numbers.

Salvini knows that she can't defeat her two brothers. At least, not by herself. That's where Litori comes in. Her spiritual attacks are dodgeable but not blockable. Salvini knows that Litori is lying about the length of her domain. That makes her the right tool to kill Salvin. All she had to do is bring Salvin over to come and fight her. He would certainly do it. To not do it is to admit that he is afraid of Litori. 

He certainly won't admit that he is afraid not when Litori has already succeeded in defeating Salvini. Admitting defeat before the battle is to admit that Litori alone is enough to defeat the two of them. How is he to defeat Soverick, his rival, if Soverick's sister is already enough to put him in his place? Pride won't let him give up without a fight.

Even if he is pragmatic enough to admit to his fears it won't happen because of the little things that Salvini said to him. She told him that Litori's limit is 100 meters. He saw and confirmed it with his own two eyes too. Seeing is believing. So he has no reason to doubt it. After all, everyone is limited to 100 meters. Salvin thought that he was special to have a larger domain than everyone else. He had a huge surprise in store for him.
