Chapter 679 Women Alliance Vs The Shadows (2/2)
The majestic and potent duo of vampires, Rose and Daisy, confront one of the ten Naga Elders. Mirroring Saria and Nea"s solidarity, Rose remains steadfastly by her mother"s side.
Apart from the myriad advantages bequeathed to them by Lucien, Rose and Daisy enjoy an additional surge of power, a result of the blood pact they"ve forged with him.
This maternal pair of vampires exhibits formidable prowess, enough to annihilate an adversary teetering on the precipice of the Cosmic Realm.
As the tension thickens between Lucien"s girls and the Elder Nagas, the remaining girls are quick to take up their battle stances.
Simultaneously, each woman steps forth, fearlessly meeting the eyes of their respective enemies. Leading the charge is Mira, who"s slated to fight alongside her own daughter, of course.
Helena, one of the most potent amongst Lucien"s spouses, signals to her sisters to abstain from a.s.sisting her. Her unwavering confidence affords her the certainty that she can face an Elder Naga alone or at least keep her opponent at bay until her sisters can neutralize the rest.
Despite Helena"s a.s.sertion, one amongst them dismisses her plea - Oya. After a period of solitude in the Purple World with Helena, Oya"s bond with her sister has strengthened into a profound friends.h.i.+p.
Since enjoying Lucien"s exclusive company for a stretch of days, Helena, and l.u.s.t, dubbed Mommy Tigress, have made notable leaps in their powers. Despite still not possessing a Soul Weapon, she is amongst Lucien"s spouses with the greatest raw strength.
Oya too has ascended to the Sky Realm, now able to soar merely on the power of her energy. After bestowing an affectionate lick on little Ko"s ears, she launches into the skies in pursuit of Helena.
Her flight mimics a ground run, as Oya"s paws appear to tread upon invisible steps in the sky. Before she reaches Helena"s side, she casts a glance towards Lucien, who acknowledges her with a nod, his face a mask of confidence.
Oya"s loyalty to Lucien is solid as a mountain, and she would never do anything without his consent. Then, just after making sure he agrees with that, she arrives beside Helena, who welcomes her with open arms.
"Looks like it"s going to be you and me against the b.a.s.t.a.r.d." Helena smiles at Oya.
"ROAR!!" Mommy Tigress responds excitedly.
Due to the low power level of the other girls, they have to gather in larger groups to face such powerful enemies together.
Neola, Kylee, and Rebecca work very well together due to their friends.h.i.+p and their different skills, which allows them to complement each other"s weaknesses.
But fearing they won"t be able to defend themselves against their opponent"s powerful attacks, the trio seeks protection and leaders.h.i.+p from Jeanne, who quickly takes place in front of her sisters. With her bright s.h.i.+eld in action, the group has a high attack and defense power combined.
Despite not having a soul weapon like Jeanne, Dawn also has an amazing s.h.i.+eld made by Rebecca with the best resources available in the Purple World. Thanks to that and her natural skills, she is also an incredible defender.
So the pair of elves, Ghalenna and Ghilanna, join Dawn, seeking her protection. Elven Mommy has a clear competency to lead the group, but they turn to Maggie for that role due to her amazing observation skills, thus forming another powerful team.
The last group to take place in the sky is actually the one created before any other, consisting of two mother-and-daughter pairs and a beautiful Manticore girl.
Although they haven"t had as big breakdowns in their power level recently as other girls, Ca.s.sidy, Mia, Astrid, Aria, and Ella, were some of the first women to receive Lucien"s demonic energy in Argerim, so the benefits of that are incredibly impactful.
Each of the quintet has ascended to the Sky Realm, but their latent potential eclipses this achievement, especially in Ca.s.sidy"s case, who leads the team with unwavering confidence.
With each Naga Elder now matched against formidable adversaries ready to claim their lives, a few girls remain within the Sea Devil, apprehensive that their partic.i.p.ation might do more harm than good.
Lorelai, Madelyn, Kara, along with the other Mermaids and Nagas who have joined Lucien"s fold, observe the aerial spectacle alongside Ko. Valencia, uncertain of her future role as Lucien"s lesser servant or otherwise, also watches the unfolding drama.
Poised for battle, the girls and the Naga Elders prepare to clash as Lucien concentrates on rejuvenating his energy. Meanwhile, Tyrion sports a sinister, rapacious grin on his face.
Yet, another vital player remains off the board - Maya. Although her powers are significantly restrained underwater, above the sea, she possesses a nearly limitless potential within the Immortal Realm.
If Tyrion"s abduction of her daughter wasn"t motivation enough, Maya is further inspired by the courage of Lucien"s wives to combat with all her might.
Her inherently peaceful nature, coupled with witnessing the harsh reality of death over thousands of years, has made her loath to taking lives. However, in the face of the current situation, she"s ready to stain her hands with the blood of the ruthless Nagas.
*SCREEEEEEHH!!*
The Phoenix"s ear-piercing shriek reverberates across the battlefield as she soars over Lucien"s girls, s.h.i.+elding them with her flame blessing.
Lucien"s smile broadens, his concerns for his girls" safety alleviated slightly. However, as Tyrion"s smile morphs into a sinister and crueler version, Lucien realizes something is amiss.
"Stay out of this, old bird!" The Naga King"s voice thunders across miles, a blatant threat aimed at Maya.
But in response, she unfurls her ma.s.sive flaming wings, sending a clear signal that she has no intention of retreating from the battle.
Tyrion antic.i.p.ates her defiance, gesturing to Tanu who, in response, conjures another dark portal. Out of it materializes a large black metal cage.
A chill races through Maya"s veins when she spots the cage, or more accurately, the captive inside - Layla, her adopted daughter.
"NO!!!" Overwhelmed by a surge of fear, she loses control of her emotions. Her firebird form dissipates, and she is paralyzed, uncertain of what action to take.
