Desaria's looked blankly at the approaching Angel, filled with despair. Angel looked down at the woman lying on the ground without arms and sneered. "What is that face?"
Desaria coughed a mouthful of blood and spoke weakly. "Please, spare me."
Angel laughed and raised her shield, smashing down toward her chest. "Would you have spared Yasenia if she were captured?"
BANG!
The ground below Desaria cracked as her eyes widened in pain while the ribcage shattered and bones pierced her organs.
Angel lifted her shield again and then began bashing the person below her continuously.
The explosive sounds fell onto the Epoch Core cultivator one after another, and thanks to her resilience, Desaria didn't die until Angel lifted her sword and decapitated her.
Then, the blonde girl turned around and observed the battlefield.
Andrea and the others had managed to injure many of the fifteen cultivators, but they were still trying to break through.
At the same time, Kali had already reduced the starting 100 cultivators to 70, and the numbers kept being reduced faster.
Meanwhile, her Yasenia was still fighting the five Epoch Core cultivators.
She saw Yasenia parry one sword and move to the side, dodging another. Then, her tail lashed against a hammer while her body spun, and she kicked a spear that was trying to ambush her from a tricky angle.
The final person was met with Yasenia's sword, which she had recovered from the initial parry.contemporary romance
Around her, tens of building-sized stars were created and shot toward her enemies while each attack she created sent a massive wave of energy that pushed the Epoch Core cultivators back.
Angel couldn't help but be captivated by Yasenia's fluid, elegant, yet beastly fighting form.
Moreover, the smirk on Yasenia's lips and those beautiful and glowing red eyes because of the War Intent almost made her squeal.
Naturally, her observation lasted no more than a few seconds. She hurriedly charged and helped Yasenia. However, a massive aura of energies gathering on Yasenia told her that she didn't need help, and she changed her objective to helping Kali clean up and then joining hands against the fifteen Epoch Core cultivators.
Yasenia was fighting, feeling liberated. The cultivators that five years ago seemed unreachable were now fighting her with solemn looks as if she were a monster. 'Seeing strong people struggle under my sword is a delight~.'
As the fight continued, her strength increased.
Similar to [Battle Intent], which made the cultivator stronger the longer the fight went on, [War Intent] did something similar.
Her movements became more refined, her understanding of the strengths of her enemies assimilated in her battle style, and her chances to counterattack quickly increased.
The initial moments of a fight were a bit of a struggle because using all her buffing skills since the beginning would be a gamble.
While fighting similar-level cultivators, the best option was to increase the strength while testing the waters slowly. If you released all your strength since the first instant and fail to kill the enemy, they would begin getting used to you, and losing a winning battle is possible.
Of course, it depended on the situation.
Right now, Yasenia was not using [Celestial Intent], [Day and Night], [Empyrean Regal Dragon Aura], and [Empyrean Galaxy Domain].
She gathered energy in her throat as she fought, preparing a roar skill.
"Stop her!"
Their faces changed, and they tried to attack her, but she was aware that they would do such a thing because [Sun Dragon Roar] had impacted them a lot.
Therefore, when they charged at her, her body's oppressive presence multiplied as [Empyrean Regal Dragon Aura] unfolded, making the flinch for a second as their bloodline submitted to Yasenia's.
A second too long for a battle of their strength.
Yasenia opened her mouth, and her explosive [Moon Dragon Roar] exploded from her throat.
ROAAR!
Silver ripples engulfed the entire battlefield as her sonorous and deep roar echoed in the entire mountain.
The five people fighting her were pushed back, and their bodies felt sluggish as if their joints had rusted.
Yasenia's Moon Dragon Roar affected the soul with freezing energies, making even people of their strength feel cold.
The Ethereal Soul cultivators fighting Kali and Angel despaired when the sensation of their soul freezing engulfed them.
Naturally, both women didn't lose the chance and used their most powerful skills to slaughter all of them.
Compared with the 12,000 beasts, the sixty Ethereal Soul cultivators left were pitifully lacking.
Andrea's battle sense was also superb, as her [Battle Intent] indicated, and she didn't lose the split chance created by Yasenia.
Her body moved quickly with her [Sun Chasing Steps], and her halberd swung enveloped in her self-created skill, [Warring sun Battle Art: Unwavering barrage].
The stunned Epoch Core cultivator didn't have a chance to properly defend, as the initial clash with Andrea's halberd crumbled his stance.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Andrea swung her heavy halberd, and when she finally opened his guard, she went all out. [Sun Molten Pillar] shot from the ground, and her [Sun Burning Palm] manifested from above.
BOOM!
The man she targeted was covered in searing molten material that was further enhanced by [Molten Sun], [Solar Body], and the flames of her Natural Treasure [Star Born Searing Flame].
The shouts of their enemies followed their attacks, creating profound devastation between them and laying waste on the entire cliff area.
The walls had already crumbled as their collisions affected a large part of the mountain.
After her roar, Yasenia charged at the five stunned cultivators and swung her sword twice using [Draconic Sunset].
The heavy hit sent two Epoch Core cultivators flying. Then, her tail lashed at the one sneaking behind her, smashing them below the chin with such force they cratered on a rock three hundred meters away while spinning backward.
Moreover, she spun mid-air, smashing her leg on the side of a fourth one, cracking his skull with her monstrous leg strength.
BANG!
After landing on the ground, she looked at the remaining cultivator and roared. "ROAR!"
With another deafening dragon roar, her aura flooded the battlefield as her War Intent and Monarch Intent swept everything and everyone.
With it, her girls suddenly felt connected and coordinated.
Their movements became fluid as they attacked, defended, and suppressed them interchangeably.
Kali and Angel had joined the other girls, and deaths were already appearing in the group of fifteen Epoch Core cultivators.
They couldn't help but look sideways as Yasenia was now no longer only paying attention to her own battle but also looked at theirs while using the War and Monarch Intents to help them.
It was not a powerful buff, but they could feel Yasenia's intentions and strategies while fighting, making them like one instead of seven separate entities.
This was the power of the Monarch Intent.
It might not be powerful battle-wise besides increasing her suppression, but when compared in utility, it was considered an utterly overwhelming power.
Moreover, it was just a level two intent. The Monarch Intent showed even more profound strengths when it reached higher levels.
Elder Fu was finally afraid and began planning an escape route. "Prepare to retreat. We've underestimated them!"
The girls heard them and attacked as one. The summons were used as mostly defensive tools while Kali spent all her efforts on support.
"Escape? Not so fast." Angel's voice echoed as [Thousand Mirage Formation surrounded the twelve cultivators.
The twelve people were suddenly lost as the entire landscape changed.
A massive beast burst from the ground, attacking them, and many turned to attack.
One of them slashed, and his sword bounced from the awfully thick armor of the beast, making his eyes widen. He quickly felt danger from his right and tried to dodge, but a spear surrounded by fearsome lightning struck his chest.
Evelyn's violet eyes were crackling with arcs of electricity as her spear destroyed and pierced the defenses of the cultivator. [Thunder Soul Destruction] activated inside the cultivator, and her Black Lightning Natural Treasure rumbled, destroying his insides.
Resenting the beast that suddenly appeared, the man's vision darkened. However, he didn't know that he slashed at nothingness and that the bounce was him hitting an energy barrier created by the formation to "imitate" the beast's armor.
Illusions were a very rare thing in Distancia, and in this battle, they showed their absurd worth.
The remaining twelve cultivators fell extremely quickly as our girls took advantage of their confusion and took them off guard.
Cecile even managed to kill five simultaneously with consecutive [Flashing Moon Arrows] enhanced by her destructive and freezing [Lunar Yin Phoenix Flames].
Elder Fu took out a talisman, ready to leave, but his hand was grabbed by the elegant and fair hand of a woman, making it impossible to move his energy.
He raised his eyes with a thumping and fearful heart and met a pair of charming red eyes that hid oceans of blood and death below. "You wanted to escape after trying to kill my little treasure? The ignorance of mortals is sometimes cute~, fufufu. [Grasp Of The Divine Lich Empress]."
Her hand grabbed softly wound around his neck, but even if the movement was slow, he was locked in place by the pair of glowing red orbs.
His vitality was devoured, and his body wilted quickly, dying and becoming a dried corpse that scattered with the wave of Tatyana's hand.
On Yasenia's side, those five had an easier time escaping, and they tried it before the girls finished the other twelve. However, during their efforts, Yasenia unleashed her entire strength and managed to kill three of them in a belligerent rampage that made part of the mountain loosen and fall like a landslide.
The remaining two were about to escape, but Valeria and Mirrory moved, appearing in front of them and killing them quickly.
After a while, only our girls remained.
Their injuries were light enough for Kali to heal them in less than two minutes.
Tatyana and the other two seniors floated before them with a smirk, and Mirrory asked. "How was it? Your first battle against a group of cultivators?"
Yasenia looked around at the aftermath and smiled a bit. "Not bad. But I felt that they were a bit lacking. It would've been nice if we met actual strong people of the Low-level Epoch Core realm."
The dragoness didn't think it was an easy battle, but it also wasn't a dangerous one.
The fight was under their control from beginning to end, and they could fight against them with relative ease.
Angel was burying her face in between her favorite breasts and hugging Yasenia's soft and slim waist. "That bad woman made me slightly angry. Sorry for acting a bit angry."
Evelyn asked with a twitching eyelid. "Slightly?"
Angel nodded, nuzzling in the sweet-smelling softness. "Yes~. Oh, Yasenia. Hugging you is so comfy~."
Yasenia chuckled and caressed her baby's long, blonde hair. "Let's rest for ten minutes and then move deeper into the secret realm."
Kali and the others agreed. Cecile commented. "We need to find what the key is for and also search for the challenges that appear across the entire secret realm to gain treasures."
Yasenia nodded and looked at the seniors. "Anything interesting in the rings we've collected?"
Tatyana shrugged. "There is not a suitable cultivation technique, but the riches are not bad. Almost thirty spatial rings from Epoch Core realm cultivators and nearly two hundred Ethereal Souls make a not-bad loot."
Yasenia threw everything in her ring, and since it had an automatically sorting quality, each thing landed orderly in one of the five realms inside her spatial ring. Even the plants that could be planted were planted.
Yasenia blinked. "Right, I need to find interesting flora and fauna. Valeria, can I ask you to keep an eye on interesting critters that can make the biome richer?"
Valeria leaned down, making her titanic breasts bounce, and smirked. "Only if you kiss me on the cheek~."
Yasenia laughed, feeling amused, and tip-toed to kiss her. "There, satisfied?"
Valeria straightened and smiled, giving Tatyana a side glance and a triumphant smile. "Very~."
Tatyana lifted an eyebrow. "I still have a bit of her semen in my womb."
Mirrory blinked. "Tatyana wins."
Valeria's usual gentle smile cracked.
The girls coughed, feeling slightly embarrassed.
Yasenia's lips twitched and spoke to ease the strange atmosphere. "Should we depart?"
Angel naturally climbed onto Yasenia's back, using the tail's root to sit while surrounding her slender and elastic waist, and placed her chin on her shoulder, pointing forward. "Let's go!"
The girls laughed, amused.
*******************************************************
Andrea: It was a nice battle.
Yasenia: This is our first battle against a group of cultivators, right?
Angel: Not ours~. We fought in the wars while you commanded.
Yasenia: Right…
Angel: Ugh, remembering your attitude when directing the battle is making my heart pound. You were so charming, Yasenia.
Yasenia: Really?
The girls: *Nod*
Author: Who is coming today? I summon you!
Dante: Alo~.
Kali: It has been a while.
Dante: Haha, I'm here with a question for the seniors, or well, anyone who knows.
Tatyana: Go ahead.
Dante: How difficult is it to switch over to a different cultivation technique after using it for a while?
Valeria: An interesting question. It really depends, but the main factor is compatibility between cultivation techniques.
Dante: Compatibility?
Tatyana: As Valeria said, if you are learning a moon-attributed cultivation technique and you change to an Ice ice-attributed one or a space-attributed one, it might be difficult even if you have the proper affinities.
Dante: I see.
Mirrory: However, it is possible if you stop cultivating and train your foundation with the new technique. It would be like slowly infusing energy in a wall made of silver to transform it into, for example, gold. You can't continue building the wall taller because the silver base might crumble under the new gold wall.
Dante: Interesting and easy-to-understand metaphor. Thanks!
Author: And that's all for today!
