Chapitre 27: Difference
{Canis Major: Minor Authority II}
|Wild Dog|
Incor immediately fought back as he released an extraordinary amount of Arcane, causing his every muscle to function beyond its limits. His skin turned red and his eyes were entirely locked on Dexter who had managed to regrow new limbs.
A great war happened between the two like a dog trying to rip the moon on the sea. No matter how much Incor tried, Dexter managed to regrow and recuperate faster than Incor could damage him.
"GRRR!" he growled in frustration as he slowly lost his sense of reason.
'This is the major side-effect of utilizing the Canis Major Constellation. It provides one with unbelievable power, but it comes at the cost of one's rationality. Among all the Celestials that Starforgers utilize, this is one that has the most consequences during the early stages. It was said that when one reaches Major Authority, the decrease in reasoning will fade, but now, this works to my advantage,' Lea thought as she desperately tried to stay focused and provide Dexter with enough Arcane.
The longer the fight went on, the more unfavorable it became for Lea. She was pale from all the blood she was coughing up and her skin became even more drained than before.
'This is bad. If I do not do anything, I will pass out. My authority only allows me to use part of my wealth as a supplement to Dexter. Right now, it still drains my energy. This is dangerous,' she thought with a grim look on her face.
On the other side of the battlefield, Incor just continued to attack recklessly on Dexter who could barely touch the former. Incor made Dexter seem like a giant punching bag, albeit a punching bag he could not destroy.
While Lea was on the losing end of their battle, a different scenario was playing itself on another part of the mountain. There, where Ashe and Uquir were fighting, the atmosphere seemed thick and repellant. One could clearly feel that there was something unpleasant and repulsive within the region because of the Tainted Runes paraded around.
Uquir was also displeased about the situation. The leaves that were acting as his body were no longer as vibrant as before and the thick forestry around was showing signs of degradation. 'Damn! This is definitely a mismatch for me!' he thought before pulling a seed from his Spatial Ring.
"I admit, you are stronger than I thought...But, playtime is over!" he said before throwing the seed in the air. "Come, Wasm!"
From a giant portal, a massive Stelle Beast the size of a three-story building made of thick dark vines came out. It had massive limbs and legs, making it a giant walking disaster that aimed straight at Ashe.
Despite the situation, though, the latter remained calm. Her smile was no longer there, but there was no concern on her face. A convinced look appeared on her face when she waved her arms to activate her ability.
|Tainted World|
Another surge of Tainted Runes was released from her body. This time, its quantity was incomparable to before. They all placed themselves freely around the domain, but with Ashe's command, they flooded Wasm, causing the Stelle Beast to shriek in pain.
"You embraced the curse! How disgusting! How are you any different than an Abyssal!?" Uquir exclaimed with a shocked expression. Cursed Humans are uncommon, but they are not unseen. However, most of them had renounced their curse and tried to pursue the path to purity. Cursed Humans like Ashe who embraced the curse are far and few between.
Ashe opted to not answer him; instead, she commanded the Tainted Runes to flood Uquir as well which terrified the latter. Unlike Z, who has Pure Arcane, individuals, most especially Elementals are terrified of Tainted Runes as it would cause them to fall into great darkness like a bucket of clear water being dropped with colored ink.
"You are insane!" Uquir declared as he made Wasm take the blow while he tries to run away.
"Tsk, daring to start a fight yet too afraid to end it," Ashe sneered with a fierce attitude completely different from the soft demeanor she previously had. Despite this, she opted not to chase him.
Meanwhile, Lea and Incor's fight was about to hit its climax.
A terrified look appeared on Lea's face when she saw the clarity in Incor's eyes. A lot of time had passed, and it was enough for Incor to regain his reasoning despite still being under the power of his Authority. Realizing that he had not made any progress, he opted to channel his Arcane once more.
A thirsty and lustful smile appeared on his mouth full of saliva as he saw the frail body of Lea. While saliva was dripping all over his face, he activated another authority.
{Major Canis: Minor Authority III}
|Rabid Dog|
'I lost,' Lea sighed in her thoughts. 'I guess, this is the difference between a Black Token and a Violet Token student.'
Normally, she would run, but there was no strength left in her body to move. Dexter was the only thing she could sustain through her authority, but even he was no match to the might of Incor.
Shred beyond recognization was what happened to her Stelle Beast after Incor unleash the full burst of his attack on him.
Lea's heart skipped a beat after realizing that there was no more prey for Incor to kill. Only she was left. She could not help but gasp after locking eyes with Incor, realizing that her demise in on the horizon.
'He would not kill me, right? He should regain his reasoning faster now after successfully regaining it at his second authority,' after convincing herself that killing her would probably get Incor killed as well, her thoughts changed. 'How humiliating. I bet my brother would sweep the floor even when he was the same age as us. I am sorry, father,' she despaired.
