Capítulo 815: Chapter 815. Knight and Dragoness.
Kali's face changed as her spiritual sense spread. She looked at the 100 ghostly women who appeared, all wearing the same purple and white royal dress, and she commanded her dryads to go and intercept them.
Her army moved, using her 73 creatures summoned by her innate skills as a core, and changed the battlefield to make her dryads and the concubines meet.
The armored dryads took the front, while the melee ones took the sides and protected the archers and skill users.
Soon, a full-blown exchange began while Kali's and Wu Xiang Nu's auras buffed both sides.
Sadly, Kali was outclassed.
First, the concubines' base power was much higher. After all, they were summoned from a person of a much higher cultivation level. Then, while Kali's auras seemed to do better work, it was just enough to make her creatures equal to hers.
However, intents were another matter altogether.
While Kali had Level 3 intents, Wu Xiang Nu had Level 5 intents. Even if Kali's were better, it was not enough to breach that difference.
So, when both sides collided, the one that got instantly suppressed was Kali's. Her armored dryads were not strong enough to resist the attacks, her melee dryads were not fast enough to block all the attempts at attacking the vulnerable backline, the archers were not quick enough to score deadly shots, and the supporting dryad's skills were not effective enough to help the others.
Kali could only use her skills to give them temporary bursts of strength, but even with that, her army was slowly collapsing.
Wu Xiang Nu looked at Kali and asked. "Do you have anything else, junior?"
Kali shook her head. "I don't. This is all my strength."
Wu Xiang Nu smiled. "It's really good. It would be a hard match if it weren't for my Level 5 intents. Moreover…" Wu Xiang Nu's eyes moved to Kali's side. "If that summon had participated, the outcome might've been different."
Kali looked at Valeria and shook her head. "I won't use her this time. Wu Xiang Nu, how are your personal skills?"
Wu Xiang Nu smirked. "Good enough not to lose to the mid-level Epoch Cores within a short amount of time."
Kali was similar, so she felt that she really had nothing else to play with besides her parasites. Parasites naturally didn't only affect the living. The undead could similarly be affected as long as the parasite had evolved enough in the direction of eating death-energy-rich flesh, energy, or souls.
Then, some of her poisons could be effective on the undead. But because of the rules, her ability to use them was very limited. Kali was satisfied with this outcome.
She didn't surrender and continued fighting. Her army slowly dwindled as the undead gained an advantage. Even when she used [Spirit Overgrowth], the skill that allowed a plant to go berserk and burn its life as a means to unlock its potential, she could only delay the inevitable.
However, as she resisted, she managed to last more than 20 minutes, making Wu Xiang Nu and the rest of the people spectating respect her.
By the end, Kali was panting, her energy reserves extremely low. Finally, one of the remaining 63 concubines managed to appear before her and used her long nails to try and pierce Kali's neck.
Valeria stepped forward, her body disappearing and reappearing beside that concubine. With her staff, she struck it more than 100 times in less than an instant.
BOOM!
The concubine flew like a shooting star, smashing into the Undead army with a large explosion that sent the undead flying around in pieces. When she struck the ground, the concubine exploded into pieces.
Valeria looked at Wu Xiang Nu and said. "Enough. You've won."
Wu Xiang Nu nodded. "The attack wasn't going to pierce her neck. I had controlled her to stop after prickling her skin."
Valeria nodded. "I know. That's why I only attacked it and not you."
Wu Xiang Nu nodded calmly, but inside, her soul was thumping in fear. 'Too strong! If she participated, I would've had no chance!'
Kali looked between them and smiled. "I surrender."
The judge descended and shouted. "Winner, Wu Xiang Nu!"
Kali sighed and looked at the battlefield filled with dead creatures. During the 20 minutes, both sides had summoned more beings, so the number of dead creatures was nearing four thousand. "Well, I did my best."
Valeria patted her head and smiled. "You did well. Lasting almost half an hour is a very big achievement."
Kali nodded, and they returned to the resting area. Valeria became a beam of green light and entered Kali's body.
The next battle was the two against 2.
Yasenia stood up and stretched. "Finally, my turn, huh?"
Andrea stepped forward and smiled at her. "How will we fight?"
Yasenia looked at Andrea up and down, checking if she had completely recovered. After being satisfied with her inspection, she commented. "While we are strong using the dragon rider style, I think we will do better without it."
Andrea pondered and asked. "You reasoning?"
Yasenia explained. "We don't know if we are fighting two summoners, two sword users, or a combination of one summoner and one sword user. Regardless, I will have to endure all the punishment because their strength is higher than yours, so you will probably miss some of their attacks. In the end, the dragon rider is the main offense while the dragon they ride is their support."
Yasenia poked Andrea's cheek with a teasing smile. "If we want to win, I can't be in a supporting stance but an active one."
Andrea moved her mouth and bit the mischievous fingers. "Okay. I'm convinced."
Yasenia blinked twice, and her cheeks became rosy. Then, she coughed and turned around. "Let's go, Darling."
Andrea laughed and followed behind. "Sure. Let's go, love."
When Andrea and Yasenia jumped down, they looked over to the other side and were surprised. Yasenia laughed wryly. "This combination is a bit…"
Andrea rubbed her forehead and nodded.
The judge appeared and shouted. "Yasenia and Andrea against Wu Rongyao and Wu Xiang Nu!"
Both undead smirked, and Wu Rongyao cackled. "Are you prepared to face an endless army, juniors?"
Yasenia's lips arched as she smiled, showing her sharp fangs. "Fighting armies is my strong point, seniors. Be careful."
Andrea waved her black and golden halberd and said. "Let's have a good match, seniors."
The countdown started, and Andrea and the two undead seniors began preparing for the battle.
Yasenia closed her eyes as she felt the energy, and the [Celestial Energy Star] in her dantian spun.
Wu Rongyao and Wu Xiang Nu looked at Yasenia with carefulness. They didn't know how strong this junior was, but she was clearly the strongest, so they wouldn't lower their guards.
Since the beginning, both of them had used all their skills to summon a massive combined army of 2500 undead. Their auras and intents interlocked and affected everything. Soon, the combined armies' pressure was enough to suppress even average high-level Epoch Cores.
However, soon, Yasenia opened her eyes, and her auras surged like a tsunami of pressure.
BOOM!
Her surroundings quaked as the air around Yasenia trembled. Simultaneously, the sky darkened, and a galaxy of stars appeared, orbited by a large Sun and Moon.
As this was happening, Yasenia used [Scorched Sun Domain], a domain that created pillars of sunfire around her. Because she was fighting with Andrea, Yasenia used skills that synergized with her.
Then, when two seconds were left, the dragoness used her other buffing skills like [Celestial Cosmos Dress], [Waning Moon], [Cosmos Body Reinforcement], and more, increasing her overall power to a whole new dimension.
By the time the match was about to start, a suffocating storm of auras was swirling around the imposing and seductive dragons.
Both undeads looked at Yasenia with unprecedented seriousness. While her current strength was terrifying for someone at her level, it was manageable. However, they could see that Yasenia was not done yet.
Just as the judge shouted zero, the spinning [Celestial Energy Star] released Celestial Energy into her energy stream, and the preparations from the start combined into a skill that made her aura take another leap.
"[Celestial Dragon Body]!"
ROAR!
A deafening and resounding dragon cry followed the burst of her aura as the massive image of her dragon form briefly materialized and then dove into her own body.
As Yasenia swung her sword once, the air exploded from her raw strength, creating a massive forward gale. "Let's go. [Draconic Sun Charge]."
Andrea nodded. "[Solar Charge]."
They both stomped simultaneously and burst forward, rushing fearlessly toward the undead army.
Meanwhile, both undead looked at each other once and saw the astonishment in each other's gaze.
'We can't relax. This is far from being won.'
'Agreed. Focus on Andrea and try to weaken her. Once she is out of combat, we will focus all our efforts on Yasenia.'
Yasenia was the first to arrive and swung her sword horizontally while releasing a massive [Draconic Sunset] that created a wave of pure, explosive, Sun energy.
BOOM!
A large part of the frontal army that moved to block Yasenia's way was flung as if they were made out of straws. Then, Andrea overcame her and used [Warring Sun Battle Art: Molten Landscape].
She struck the ground and created a wave that swallowed everything before them. Yasenia followed up on her attack by looking left and opening her mouth. "[Sun Dragon Breath]."
A beam of pure Sun energy scorched the air and blasted the undead that were trying to sneak from there while Andrea turned right and stomped the ground, using [Molten Pillar] to block that part.
Hundreds of ghosts flew at them from the sky, but Yasenia was not fazed. After stopping Sun Dragon Breath, she swung her hard arm skyward, activating [Sun Dragon Claw].
The phantom of her claw, reaching more than 200 meters wide, collided and created another explosion that opened the sky above them.
Andrea and Yasenia moved forward without stopping for a second, their bodies going back and forth as skill after skill was released.
Their combination was seamless, and Yasenia's intents and auras guided them into a beautiful dance of slaughter.
"[Dance In The Firmament]."
"[Sun Obliterating War Dance]."
As one, their bodies accelerated further and almost became one as their sword and halberd slaughtered one undead after another.
Yasenia's tail was attacking behind her, constantly using [Draconic Sunrise] to stagger the undead who were trying to pincer attack them.
From the outside, it looked like a golden streak slicing through the army in complex yet beautiful patterns, slowly but surely closing the distance with one of the undead seniors.
Wu Rongyao cackled. "Impressive."
Yasenia's eyes were constantly moving as she suddenly exchanged a glance with Andrea, and they stopped. She pointed upward with her massive sword, and Yasenia's mellow and slightly deep voice echoed with imposing momentum.
"[Starfall]."
Then the sky fell. The stars, the moon, the sun, the galaxy, everything fell as if the day of judgment had arrived.
