Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 702: The Final Ten Waves. Final Scores.

Andrea was exchanging weapon strikes with a strong opponent.

The one who challenged her was sixty places below her, and he was a Low-level Epoch Core with a lot of strength.

By now, after the fourth event, the people left were all strong enough to be called geniuses in their own right.

Naturally, while he was strong and came from a dragon-human family, the advantages he had were wholly countered by Andrea.

Each time they clashed weapons, and he wanted to do a tail-strike sneak attack, not only would he be easily caught by Andrea, but she would use that chance to give him heavy injuries.

In combat, Andrea didn't have strong destructive powers. She couldn't really kill instantly like many of the other girls. However, that didn't mean she was weak.

While Andrea's explosive power was not as impressive, she was invincible in extended battles. The two intents that made her stronger the more she fought, her landscape-disrupting skills, her defensive abilities, and her discipline and immaculate combat mastery, made it a nightmare to fight her.

With one halberd swing, a giant wave of molten material would form, and with the following palm strike, an explosion of flames would increase the temperature. Then, many auras and skills that only increased the temperature around Andrea's body would come one after another, and her other skills allowed her to control the tempo and defend against any close-range attacks, making her body dangerous to attack.

The man fighting Andrea had a fire-related bloodline, so when he saw Andrea's attributes by chance, he thought that she was easy prey.

What he didn't expect was that the temperatures Andrea worked with were high enough even to hurt someone nicknamed Celestial Dragon.

The reason was because of her natural treasure.

While natural treasures were of one attribute, that didn't mean that those of the same attribute were immune to them; the energies released from them were damaging on a fundamental level, meaning Andrea's [Star Born Searing Flame] could grow to "burn" things that were not inflammable by nature.

The concept ingrained in Natural Treasures was similar to "laws," so the only thing that could completely block their influence were high-level cultivators. And even then, if the Natural Treasure had grown enough, it would be impossible.

How could someone understand flames better than someone born from the law of flames gathering in one spot for who knows how many years?

That's why a Natural Treasure was always considered a "lifetime" treasure by all cultivators.

In short, Andrea was grilling a fire dragon beast human in real-time, and the fire dragon beast human could do nothing against it.

"[Sun Explosion]!"

BOOM!

A wave of molten liquid rose like a tsunami, and the cultivator's face twisted in horror. "I surrender!"

Then, he was swallowed, but a golden cocoon protected him.

Andrea spun her weapon twice to clean all the molten liquid dripping from it and smiled. "Another win for me."

Then, her body was transported back to the room, and she slowly took off her helmet, showing her heroic and beautiful tanned face with droplets of sweat, making her hair stick to her face.

She unhurriedly approached the fountain, used her hand to drink from it, and cleaned her dark hair. "Ha… Refreshing."

She looked at the timer and realized that only a few minutes were left until the waves started.

'This time, speed also matters, so I'll have to be aggressive when dealing with them. I wonder how my girl is doing?'

Her eyes moved toward Yasenia's name, her light green eyes showing tenderness and love. "Oh? She killed a few. More ruthless than usual, hmm…"

Andrea pondered but decided not to interrupt her. When something strange happened with her dear dragoness's attitude, it meant that she was onto something.

She couldn't help but laugh. 'Really, my love doesn't give us a single second of rest.'

Some might find it stressful always having Yasenia running behind, but Andrea found it refreshing. Trying to keep up with someone as talented as her lover was a fun challenge.

After waiting for a while, the portals finally opened, and Andrea stepped inside.

[Welcome to the forty-first wave. Defeat one tenth-level Fusion Core Beasts within twenty minutes of time.]

Andrea's body exploded with her auras, scorching her surroundings in a wave of heat, and she charged toward it.

'Hm? This beast is different.'

While all the beasts until now were bulky, furry, quadrupedal predators, the one before Andrea was a slim, agile-looking, elegant deer with large antlers and not that big. Its height to the shoulders was a bit larger than three meters.

For a beast about to become a legendary beast, it was small. However, when this kind of trait appeared on beasts, it was usually a sign that something was wrong. 'Cecile always says that the weakest-looking beasts are more often than not one of the strongest. I need to be careful.'

Andrea focused, just in case, and when she blinked, the figure of the deer blurred, making her heart thump. 'So quick!?'

The deer's antlers appeared at her left, thrusting toward her chest.

Of course, it wasn't enough to take Andrea by surprise, and she quickly reacted by swinging her halberd at a perfect angle to deflect the force behind the deer's attack.

"[Sun Burning Palm]."

While she deflected the deer with her weapon, her other arm thrust forward in a show of flexibility and quick judgment.

BOOM!

An enormous brilliant red fire burst and the deer bellowed in pain, its light body flying for a few meters. 'Hm? I see. The defense is certainly lower than previous creatures. However, to fight at the same level, this deer is much more dangerous. Not to mention, losing points to a quick enemy by mistake is much easier than to a strong but slow one.'

After knowing that the deer was relatively fragile, Andrea released wide-range attacks and quickly overpowered it, killing it shortly after.

[Congratulations, you won perfectly against one Tenth-level Fusion Core Beast without receiving any damage in 29.7 seconds. You've won 8200 points. X2.2 Multiplier detected. You've won 18,040 Points. You have 359,440 Points.]

Andrea exited the portal and licked her lips. 'This can get complicated when there are ten of them.'

She looked at the list, and she couldn't help but blink twice.

1-. Tatyana Dravory, 416,200 Points. 44th wave.

2-. Angel Dravory, 416,200 Points. 44th wave.

3-. Kali Dravory, 416,200 Points. 44th wave.

4.- Yasenia Dravory, 396,840 Points. 43rd wave.

…

42.- Andrea Dravory, 359,440 Points. 41st wave.

'Okay, I can understand Tatyana, Kali, and Angel. Kali and Angel said they would fight with Valeria and Mirrory to ensure there weren't any accidents. However, what in heaven's name happened to Yasenia? Did she have another enlightenment or something?'

While she thought of that, Tatyana rose to the 46th wave, together with Kali and Angel, and Yasenia to the 44th.

Not wanting to be left behind, she quickly rushed toward the red portal and began challenging them.

Then, Andrea quickly challenged the waves.

[Congratulations, you won perfectly against two Tenth-level Fusion Core Beasts without receiving any damage in 21.7 seconds. You've won 8400 points. X2.2 Multiplier detected. You've won 18,480 Points. You have 377,920 Points.]

[Congratulations, you won perfectly against six Tenth-level Fusion Core Beasts without receiving any damage in 51.9 seconds. You've won 9200 points. X2.2 Multiplier detected. You've won 20,240 Points. You have 456,240 Points.]

The final wave arrived, with ten of the deer beasts fighting against our girls.

The battles were quite close because they were fighting with the handicap of needing a "perfect" fight.

Well, that was true for almost all of them, as Valeria, Mirrory, and Tatyana demolished the wave.

Regardless, Ebirah, Sierra, Andrea, Cecile, Evelyn, and Yasenia didn't have a "senior" advantage, and they had to improvise to fight it without being touched.

Yasenia, who was in a very focused state, didn't do much different than usual and slaughtered all of them with her borderline unfair offensive power. Moreover, using [Draconic Full Moon] at the start to give her a few seconds to charge wide-area destruction skills made it even quicker to get rid of them.

Cecile had to be very careful, but using her [Lunar Fire Tornado] skill and [Moonlight Ash Domain] to buy time, followed by her [Moon Freezing Catastrophe] skill, did the trick quite swiftly, the reason being that their "fragility" allowed Cecile's "slow-acting" effects to kill them quickly.

Ebirah used a few of the skills she learned from her mother and the seniors, creating an energy shield around her that protected her like an additional shell while in human form, and then she used her powerful physical body to smash the ten deer one after another.

Her skills consisted of martial arts that summoned parts of her beast form in a phantom form to attack and also other skills that summoned Sun energy or used the Metal attribute to create attacks.

Our lobster princess was hit a few times, but the sturdiness of her defense allowed her to pass the challenge with the "perfect" qualification.

Sierra, knowing that it was the last wave, let go of all her energies and lightning, creating a blizzard with raging lightning and killing most of them. She quickly picked up the remaining ones, making her one of the fastest in completing the tenth wave.

Evelyn approached it slowly, using her [Lightning Temple Blessing] inheritance skill to create a defensive aura around her, and then released an electric hell upon them, which, even with their speed, they couldn't dodge.

Finally, Andrea used a similar strategy to the others, smashing the ground below her to summon a giant wave of molten liquid and then using her [Molten Sun], [Sun Explosion], and [Warring Sun Battle Art: Molten Landscape] to sweep the battlefield.

After finishing their placements, this message popped up for all of them.

[Congratulations, you won perfectly against ten Tenth-level Fusion Core Beasts without receiving any damage in 64.1 seconds. You've won 10,000 points. X2.2 Multiplier detected. You've won 22,000 Points. You have 541,600 Points.]

Then, they looked at the list, and as they expected, they weren't ranked first.

Above them, people who had used the tickets managed to get more points, and between them, one name stuck out.

9.- Du Xian, 554,440 Points. 50th wave.

Because of the tickets, Du Xian had surpassed them by thirteen thousand points!

It wasn't only her; many others were ahead of them.

Their final positions were like this.

…

32.- Angel Dravory, 541,600 Points. 50th wave.

33.- Tatyana Dravory, 541,600 Points. 50th wave.

34.- Kali Dravory, 541,600 Points. 50th wave.

35.- Yasenia Dravory, 541,600 Points. 50th wave.

…

38.- Cecile Dravory, 541,600 Points. 50th wave.

…

41.- Evelyn Dravory, 541,600 Points. 50th wave.

…

43.- Sierra, 541,600 Points. 50th wave.

…

45.- Andrea Dravory, 541,600 Points. 50th wave.

…contemporary romance

47.- Ebirah, 541,600 Points. 50th wave.

************************************************************

Cecile: Hm… Closer than expected.

Tatyana: If four people challenge the top and push four people down, Ebirah will lose.

Ebirah: (;° ロ°)

Tatyana: Well, it all depends on what happens for the fifth and final event.

Yasenia: Interesting.

Author: Let's move on~. I summon you!

Kaszty: Hello!

Andrea: Welcome, Kaszty.

Kaszty: Author, could you summon Tatyana's master?

Author: Ho?

Tatyana: …

????: Hm? Impressive. For someone to manage to forcefully transport me. Show yourself.

Author: Hey, can you answer one question? I'll let you leave right after.

????: What are you? A high-level energy form? No…. Something deeper.

Author: Don't worry about that. Just answer the question.

????: Sure- Hm? Bastard disciple, what are you doing here!?

Bonk!

Tatyana: Hey, old skeletal man, can you give your disciple a bit of respect? I'm your summoner!

Bonk!

????: As if I care about that! Do you know how stifled I am without being able to advance in the cultivation path because of your laziness!?

Bonk!

Tatyana: O-Okay, haven't I started cultivating again?

Bonk!

????: That's the only reason why I'm only hitting you with my cane!

BONK!

The rest: …

????: So, since you are here… Oh! Little princess, we meet for the first time.

Yasenia: Y-Yes, emm…

????: Call me Grandpa, hahaha! Since you are Tatyana's child, and I consider Tatyana something similar to a daughter, you don't need to be formal.

Yasenia: Okay, Grandpa.

????: So, who is the child who wants to question me?

Kaszty: Senior!

????: Hmm… A mortal. Never mind, ask away.

Kaszty: On a scale of 1 to 100, how would you rate the current power of the girls and seniors?

????: That's a difficult question, child. To rate something, I need a reference, and looking at those you call seniors if I give anything less than 100 to them, the juniors would fail to score 1 point.

Valeria: Just rate the children.

????: Hm, now that I took a closer look…

Tatyana: But you don't have eyes. You have a naked a skull.

Bonk!

????: You are the Nature Spirit Queen, right? Interesting.

Valeria: Oh?

????: And you… I have no idea.

Mirrory: No need to bother yourself. Just answer the child's question.

????: I will.

????: Well, if we say that 100 is a genius who can fight people one large realm above themselves while being at the eighth level of the unification realm, and 1 is someone who can only fight someone at their level, these are the scores I would give. Yasenia 87 points, Angel without Mirrory 79 Points, Cecile 76 points, Andrea 74 Points, Evelyn 74 Points, and Kali without Valeria 63 Points. However, Kali's evaluation is fake because her alchemy mastery and parasites can make it vary a lot. But, regarding raw power, it would be something similar to that.

Author: And that's all for today. Bye-bye!
