บท 195: Chapter 195. Cecile's vs Demons.
In another place of the expansive secret realm, in a desert, a woman with long platinum-silver hair was looking around. Her peerless facial features could make any man or woman have their heart beating faster. However, her expression was cold as her indifferent icy-blue eyes observed the surroundings. The woman flapped her big silver wings and shot up 100 meters in an instant; even from the high point of view, she couldn't see the end of the desert.
The first thing Cecile did after inspecting the surroundings was focus on her connection with Yasenia. Through the connection, Cecile felt that Yasenia was extremely far away; even when they were [Interlocked Souls] with a much longer connection range than their previous [Soulmate] connection, she could barely feel her link with Yasenia.
Without feeling her dear dragoness nearby, her whole body became covered with an icy feeling, and her demeanor changed to that of a Celestial Maiden looking down to the mortal world. As she flapped her wings and floated mid-air, she seemed to have become a lone Moon Goddess in the middle of a desolate world.
Cecile slowly flew down and landed with elegance, covering the sand near her feet with silver frost and hardening the sand so that her feet wouldn't sink. Then, she took out two of the four communication devices she had, one receiver and one sender. These were the ones that our girls developed during these months.
They were oval palm-sized orange metallic pieces. Around the body of the artifact, intricate glowing lines crossed in geometrical forms to create quite a beautiful artifact. Each metallic piece had a different colored jade embedded in the middle of it.
The sender's jade had different tones of green swirling around. The glowing lines on the orange body of the sender were aqua blue colored, and a thick fluid seemed to be moving across them.
The receiver was the opposite. Its jade had different tones of blue swirling around, and the lines were green-colored.
Cecile put energy into them, and the liquid in the formation lines moved faster, lighting up the device. However, Cecile's brows frowned slightly, 'No signal... That means that the devices have yet to connect to each other.'
Cecile thought, 'I will have to wait for a while then... What direction should I go? The connection between us is so faint that I don't even know in which direction my love is...'
Cecile flew high up and decided to zoom across the desert as fast as she could. However, when she went more than 150m high, she had to stop going upward. 'The heat increases exponentially the higher I go. If I fly higher, I may be cooked alive. Even at this altitude, the heat is unbearable.'
She decided to descend to the 100m altitude and fly horizontally to the ground. However, when she descended to that altitude, an explosion of sand occurred before her, accompanied by a mighty roar. Something enormous shot up from the sand at high speed toward Cecile.
Cecile reacted fast and flapped her right wing to dodge the creature. The creature missed her for not more than three meters. She observed it and saw that it was a giant, armored, worm-like creature at least 100m long. It had a circular mouth filled with deadly and sharp teeth that could grind even the strongest of rocks into dust.
However, Cecile's face didn't change as she looked at it indifferently. She took out her bow and created a silver arrow. Freezing energy gathered around her as she used her wind and moon attributes to buff the arrow. By the time the [Dune Swallowing Worm] landed on the sand again, Cecile had already tensed the bow into a full moon.
The [Dune Swallowing Worm] burst from the sand again with an open mouth with the intention of eating Cecile. However, Cecile's lips calmly moved as her cold voice spread around, and she let the arrow free, aiming at the middle of its mouth. "[Flashing Moon Arrow]."
*BOOM!*
An enormous shockwave spread from Cecile as the arrow burst forward with silver brilliance, transforming into a wide beam. It was so fast that the worm didn't even have the chance to close its mouth before the arrow entered through it. The energy from the arrow shredded and froze the worm's insides as it pierced its whole body, appearing from its other end and creating a circular frozen canyon on the sandy floor.
The momentum carried the worm upward, but Cecile didn't move. When the worm was about to eat her, the arrow's energy finally burst the worm's meridians, and its body inflated, bursting into frozen fleshy chunks and washing everything around with its greenish but solidified blood because of the low temperatures.
But even with this violent death, not a single drop of flesh, blood, or sand touched Cecile's dress.
Like that, a peak-level third-ranked creature was assassinated as if it was thrash, showing the might of the Moon Phoenix to all creatures observing the "battle."
However, Cecile knew that it was far from over. During these months, she had trained with her maid, Clara, unceasingly and learned about hunting and various beasts, reading book after book of them. She was by far the most knowledgeable about beasts in their group, and as she expected.
The ground around her exploded in more than fifteen places, revealing tens of [Dune Devouring Worms]. They were pack creatures and always hunted in groups!
But even before this threat that would make even Mental Nourishing Half-steps tremble with fear, Cecile's face maintained her indifference as she calmly chanted. "[Moon Phoenix Flame Dress]."
White flames danced around her body, tails, and wings, making the air around her become as cold as the air on the moon. Then, Cecile flapped her wings and sped through the falling giant worms in an elegant dance that left a chilling white trail behind her. The worms kept jumping again and again, and Cecile dodged with ease flying in complicated patterns at high speed.
Then, she chanted again, "[Moon Feather Enhancement]."
Her wings glowed with silver light, and her speed doubled. However, this wasn't all. Cecile chanted again, "[Hollow Moon Steps]."
As she flew with the wings, she began using her feet as if the air below her was solid to run and fly around, making even the worms dizzy with her speed. Then, she began attacking. "[Moon Phoenix Feathers]."
The phantom of a majestic and ethereally beautiful silver phoenix appeared in the sky. Its wings were also covered with white flames, and its blue phoenix eyes looked down on the world with innate majesty. Then, as Cecile pulled and released her bow, The phoenix in the sky flapped its wings raining countless silver feathers surrounded by the White [Moon Flame].
Like a rain of silvery white meteors, the feathers fell on top of the tens of [Dune Swallowing Worms] with overwhelming force.
*BANG!* *BANG!**BANG!* *BANG!**BANG!* *BANG!*
Everywhere the feathers landed, an explosion of white flames consumed the area, freezing everything mercilessly. Cecile continued to move around at vertiginous speeds for a cultivator in her realm and rained death on the giant armored worms.
Then, to finish them off, Cecile used a skill to rip them off the sand. "[Moon Phoenix Gale]."
The phantom phoenix in the sky flapped its wings with all its strength, and the air around seemed to obey the Phoenix's commands as it gathered into a 50m thick silver tornado!
*WOOSH!*
The air currents sent the weakened worms into the air and the freezing and sharp gales inside the tornado. The spectacle was astounding as the 100m worms flew into the air one after another as the giant tornado shredded their armored bodies.
Cecile stopped moving as her blue eyes indifferently looked at the worms. She continued slowly flapping her wing on the spot, waiting for all the worms to die.
Only five minutes later, not one of them was left alive. Cecile flew around, collecting the Beast cores and the hardest part of their bodies. Her ring wasn't too big, just 1000 cubic meters, so she had to be careful with what she put inside.
She walked around, not caring about the sand falling everywhere because of the tornado; she was using her wind attribute to make a bubble where all sand couldn't pass.
After picking the beast cores, she looked east and flapped her wings, flying at 100m of height, parallel to the ground.
After flying for a while and seeing nothing more, Cecile saw some ruins in the distance. She changed her flight path and flew toward those ruins. As she approached the ruins, she could see other cultivators running toward the ruins.
But Cecile ignored them and continued flying until she was near enough to see them clearly. Cecile stopped flying and slowly landed on the ground, surrounded by a silver mist that spread around.
The cultivators around couldn't help but become dazed. With her peerless facial features, beautiful dress, and temperament, Cecile seemed like a celestial maiden that had landed before them.
One of them asked, "Who is her!?"
"I don't know but she is extremely beautiful."
"Do you dare approach?"
"Huh? Have you seen her face? I'm scared she will stab me if I approach rashly!"
Cecile ignored the discussion around, but her eyes locked into a group of five cultivators. They all had four pairs of fleshy wings behind their back and different forms of black horns growing from their forehead. 'Demons. I should be careful; they may want to use me to deal with Yasenia... Should I kill them?'
However, Cecile didn't even have to approach because the demons' eyes lit up with greed as soon as they landed on Cecile. 'Such a beautiful woman! I want to make her my breeder!' were the thoughts of the three male demons.
To refresh your memory, the demon's ranks were like this; Mortal demons are like mortal people with a single pair of wings, Adult Demons are comparable with Dantian and Meridian Creation Cultivators and have two pairs of wings, Baron Demons are equal to body modification cultivators with three pairs of wings. Then, there are Viscount Demons with four, Count Demons with five, and Duke demons with six. Their ranks are divided into lower, middle, top, and peak levels.
The five demons before Cecile were in the Viscount Demon realm, which was equivalent to a Mental Nourishing Cultivators. However, their strong bodies, powerful wings, and high affinity for some attributes made them superior to most humans at the same level.
Moreover, all of them were at the top level, except one of the five demons at the peak level, stronger than a half-step human but lightly weaker than a Unification Realm Human. The five demons arrogantly walked toward Cecile after seeing that she was just in the ninth level of the Mental Nourishing Realm.
Cecile took out her bow and began gathering energy without saying a word. The demons were first surprised and then laughed, "You are truly brave, beast-woman! I will forgive your attitude if you become our breeder, what do you-"
"[Flashing Moon Arrow]."
*BOOM!*
Before the Demon knew what happened, he felt an extremely powerful and freezing strength hit his chest. His ribs caved in, and most of his internal organs exploded. Then, his body was blasted away without control for hundreds of meters. The other four demon's eyes opened widely, seeing one of the top-level demons almost dying with one arrow.
One of the female demons got angry, "Slut! How dare you attack my future hus-"
The female demon saw Cecile release another arrow toward her; this time, she was prepared. But even when she placed a darkness-attributed wall in front of her, the [Flashing Moon Arrow] Pierced through the dark wall as a bright silver beam and landed on the demoness's shoulder.
The demoness heard her bones crack as the arrow's strength sent her flying away. Everyone was stunned and heard Cecile's freezing voice, "Since you are so eager to die, let me deliver death to you."
The three demons instantly used all their skills, and their aura burst toward Cecile. Cecile's facial expression remained the same as her aura bloated and exploded outward with a melodic phoenix cry.
*QYAA~!*
Her aura slammed the three approaching auras, instantly gaining terrain. Then, she began a barrage of attacks. "[Lunar Flame Enhancement], [Moon Gale Arrow Rain]."
Her hand blurred as silver-green arrows with shredding freezing winds around them shot continuously toward the three demons. The Demons used different defensive skills to block them, but the strong assault didn't even let them advance! Moreover, each arrow was wrapped with white flames that began freezing their defenses and making them collapse extremely fast.
For the Demons, each arrow felt like a giant was punching its defensive walls, creating enormous explosions.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
When Cecile saw the previous two Demons gathering beside the three of them, her eyes flashed ruthlessly, and energy gathered toward her in a whirlwind. A giant phantom bow appeared behind her with three arrows nocked onto it. Then, Cecile pulled the bow, using her enhanced physical body strength. She could feel some muscle tear, but her natural regeneration healed the muscles as they tore, allowing her to pull the string into a full moon.
Then, as the demons prepared to attack Cecile, her lips opened. "[Freezing Catastrophe]."
She released the bow, and the three giant arrows, one silver, one green, and another transparent, shot from the giant phantom bow with a powerful shockwave.
The five demons used their defensive trump cards. But the arrows combined mid-air, and in the next moment, they tore through space and arrived beside the five demons instantly.
*BOOOOM!*
An enormous hurricane of Spatial, Wind, and Moon energies instantly appeared, shredding the five demons to pieces.
Cecile confirmed their death and moved toward them, picking two out of the five spatial rings that hadn't broken. Then, she looked around with her indifferent blue eyes, and without saying anything, she walked toward the ruins.
