Capítulo 394: Chapter 394. Yasenia's Wild Energy Absorption. Ghana's Hesitation.
The absorption speed increased constantly.
Angel efficiently used the complicated formations to supply the demand Yasenia's body needed. Tatyana then separated and expelled all energy that wasn't helpful to Yasenia.
Thanks to this, Yasenia was absorbing extremely pure energy, avoiding any impurities from forming inside her. Not to mention her [Yin and Yang Celestial Body] was working overdrive together with the [Celestial Pearl] and the [Primordial Energy Core].
What Angel and Tatyana didn't consider was that Yasenia's energy requirements could not be satisfied with the energy in a small area.
From the outside, people could see an invisible vortex of energy rushing madly toward the garden.
At first, people looked on curiously. However, they saw that this vortex was growing and growing, taking energy from further and further away.
After an hour since the runic dome appeared, the absorption radius was already two kilometers. However, this radius was growing exponentially.
After two hours, it reached ten kilometers.
After five hours, it reached a hundred kilometers.
By this time, the vortex's absorption influence covered most of Koran city. Yet, the size didn't stop and kept growing.
The leading powers in the City ignored it at first since anything that creates such an event couldn't be formed by simple people. However, their patience began thinning after they felt the living materials, like [Living Earth], begin to weaken.
As the powers of the Koran City became restless and began planning to take action, our girls were still tense inside their house.
During this whole time, Yasenia suffered from fast-paced maturing symptoms.
The pain she endured would be enough to drive many people crazy. She felt as if her body had broken apart and reformed many times already.
Even for her, this constant torture was taking a toll on her psyche, and she was currently lying flat on the ground, breathing weakly.
The ground around her had already been dug up and moved by her claws and initial struggles.
However, by the twenty-fourth hour, she couldn't even move a muscle as she tiredly endured the pain of her insides and skin churning and stretching.
The now giant dragon was lying weakly, surrounded by mauled earth and fallen scales. As Yasenia's body size grew, her scales were falling around her and regrowing at high speeds.
Seeing Yasenia so exhausted made our girls heartbroken.
They could only guess how much she was suffering, but to make their dragoness so weak, it couldn't be low.
Cecile's heart had been twisting as if a knife was digging and carving pieces of her flesh. Although she couldn't feel it clearly because Yasenia had blocked their connection to prevent Cecile from feeling everything, she could still sense Yasenia's general state.
After a whole day of enduring this uncomfortable feeling, she turned and asked Tatyana. "How about we stop it here, Tatyana? I don't mind her regaining human form. It's not worth it to make her suffer so much to get a human form. We can wait until she naturally matures."
Surprisingly, it was Yasenia who answered. A murmur that came directly from Yasenia's mouth reached them. After advancing to her current maturity level, she could use her own vocal cords to speak instead of spiritual communication.
The voice was different and similar to her human voice. It was mellow, pleasant, and slightly deep. A voice that could make the heart of those listening itch.
However, in her dragon form, her voice had reverberation that added an ethereal and majestic feeling.
"Sweetheart... we shouldn't... stop now..."
Angel also had a soulmate connection with Yasenia. She would've already become teary-eyed if she hadn't distracted herself by controlling the formation. However, the weak, enchanting voice that left the dragon's mouth made her eyes water.
What Angel hated the most was seeing Yasenia hurt. She only wanted to see Yasenia strong and pampering, smiling gently at her and with indulgence in those golden eyes.
Therefore, after seeing those dim and tired golden eyes slowly moving to look at them, she couldn't help protesting with a quivering voice. "Yasenia, please stop. We can wait perfectly fine."
Yasenia said softly. "No... I won't stop... If I stop now, I won't be able to hug all of you properly..."
Even the most emotionally stable Andrea had to bite her lip to avoid getting emotional.
Tatyana didn't expect the pill to need so much time. She looked at the twenty meters long dragoness and shook her head. Then, as if to convince herself, she said. "Although this is quite strenuous and painful, she will greatly benefit from it."
Yasenia's sight was blurry, but she could still feel her lovers' distress.
Yasenia slowly moved her long neck and circled them. With her current size, she could do so effortlessly.
Although it really hurt moving, she managed to hold her grunt of pain. Then, she smiled weakly and coaxed them. "Don't worry, dears. It will end soon."
They looked at the dragon and frowned. Her current size was already larger than Sierra's. However, her growth didn't seem to be slowing down.
Knowing Yasenia's determination, they didn't try to convince her again and walked near Yasenia's head.
Unlike at the beginning, when the aura around Yasenia was turbulent, now
everything was calm besides Yasenia's body's unpleasant sounds.
They all sat beside her head and caressed the giant dragon's head gently. With Yasenia's current head size, it was effortless for them to do so.
They all nodded and sat around her head. With her current size, only her head was enough for them to sit around.
Angel asked Tatyana. "How much more will she grow? How much time does she need?"
Tatyana got thoughtful and then shook her head. "I don't know. She is the first of her species, so I don't know her size while she is in the Unification Realm. I can't take a reference in other dragons either since the size disparity between species in the same level is too large."
They all nodded and were about to focus on Yasenia again when they felt a commotion outside. As if a switch had been flipped, all their eyes became freezing as they looked toward the exterior.
It hasn't been the first time someone tried to bother them. However, they didn't want things to escalate, or else something might go wrong. However, what entered their ears this time made their attitude change.
Because of the commotion and many complaints from residents in Koran City, the City Lord ignored Ghana's advice and sent her and an army to stop whatever was happening.
Meanwhile, outside their mansion, people had sensed that the energy was gathering toward it unnaturally. Many parties had sent a group of forces to investigate and try to test the waters.
What made the girls react was one group screaming. "To whoever resides in this place, I recommend stopping whatever you are doing now, or we will destroy it! If it is someone advancing, then we'll kill them!"
This woman had cat features and parts. She was part of a third-rate power in Koran City. However, all their group operations used Koran City as the headquarters. Therefore, the disrupting nature of the ritual was hurting many of their cheaper items which couldn't resist the powerful energy suction.
Thankfully, Tatyana had been restrained enough to avoid living things when absorbing energy, so the losses were mostly material.
Even then, Tatyana and the others didn't answer the provocations. They knew that as soon as they struck first, they would give the many other people watching over them an excuse to attack in a group.
Angel sneered, her blue eyes flashing with a green color and the roots of her hair turning bright red. "This woman really thinks highly of herself."
Tatyana said coldly. "Don't attack yet. We can only retaliate when attacked. Also, unless they have strength in the Unification Realm, ignore them. They won't be able even to scratch the formation."
Cecile asked. "What about those in the Unification Realm and above?"
Tatyana said. "They shouldn't be able to break through. However, the energy absorption formation is quite delicate, and it may break. This will prolong Yasenia's time to transform."
They nodded, and thick, killing intent filled their eyes. 'You want to prolong our dragoness's suffering? Your end can only be one, and that's Death!'
The catkin frowned and looked back at the others. "They won't answer no matter what. Why don't we attack the dome?"
She heard a voice in her head. 'Don't act rashly. The City Lord's forces are coming here. Ghana, the first secretary, is leading them, so let them take the burn of whoever is doing this.'
The cat-kin nodded and crossed her arms while looking at the intricate rune dome.
Ghana arrived shortly after and looked at the many people surrounding a strangely appealing white dome filled with red, green, and black runes.
Her eyes were complicated as she looked at where she had been before. 'What are these girls doing now? Don't they know how dangerous this is? Also, why didn't the nine sects come forward?'
Ghana shook her head and landed on the ground, followed by no less than a thousand armored guards of many sizes and forms. Their aura gave a sense of oppression to the spectators, and they couldn't help but sigh in awe.
Ghana approached the entrance and said respectfully. "Astral Sky Clan, I'm here to speak. Your ritual is taking too much energy from the surroundings. The range is vast, approaching a thousand kilometers radius, creating considerable material damage. The City Lord can't close the eyes to the problem of the people, so I hope you'll stop whatever you are doing and move to a remote place where you can't disturb the public."
Ghana took a deep breath and said with a sour heart. "If you don't stop, we'll be forced to attack and forcefully end whatever you do!"
Tatyana was startled. 'One thousand kilometers!?'
She turned toward Yasenia and frowned. 'This is abnormal. Why does she need so much energy? There must be a way to lessen these effects.'
Tatyana didn't know the answer to everything, sadly.
Tatyana had miscalculated how much energy Yasenia needed to gain a mature body.
You must remember that if Yasenia grew naturally, our dragoness would've needed one or two years to grow to her mature size.
The energy absorption would've happened gradually, so besides a constant suction force around her, it wouldn't have been too disruptive.
However, her growth speed was one day to one year.
Imagine growing from a child to an adult in just eighteen days. The amount of food you had to consume in eighteen days would be similar to the amount of food in eighteen years.
Of course, we should consider many other things, but you get the gist of the idea.
That was the reason for the hectic absorption range.
Even then, Tatyana didn't have any intention of stopping. She took the reins herself and spoke aloud with a cold and majestic tone. "We can't stop it. This ritual is essential and delicate. Allow us to be selfish this time; I can promise that, as long as you are merciful this time, your City will be compensated for the damage."
Ghana received an order mentally and bit her lips. 'These blind people, can't they understand that a group that can create something like this can't be simple!?'
However, she swallowed the dissatisfaction and said. "I won't repeat myself! You have to stop this before further damage is done. Then, you have to pay..." Ghana gritted her teeth, causing at the greedy City Lord, and shouted. "You have to pay tenfold, and in case of not being able to pay, you shall give your dragon pet as an offering to the City Lord!"
Tatyana's eyes cooled down, and her voice made the people outside feel chills even when the words weren't threatening. "If we stop it, this entire Koran City will blow up. We will think of ways to compensate, but we don't fear retaliation if you force us. Think carefully, miss Ghana. I don't have as much patience when dealing with my enemies."
Then, Tatyana cut off the communication channel and didn't speak again.
Ghana's eyes became solemn. She couldn't imagine the person's strength when just her voice was enough to make her feel oppressed.
Ghana turned toward the General at her side and was about to convince them to stop when she heard him shout. "You are too arrogant! The reputation of our Koran City soldiers is not cowards! Attack the dome with all your strength!"
Ghana's eyes widened, and she shouted. "STOP!"
However, it was too late, as many projectiles flew toward the large rune dome.
