Chapter 168 - 163: Soul space! (1/2)
Aaron's mansion
Outside main hall!
” Don't give me an heart attack! Oh god... just how can a person enter Aura emperor realm this easily? ”
WHOOSH!
Cela's group, who found Xena to undergo an monstrous change yet again were feeling stupefied, as Xena was breaking logic which was inconceivable!
A leap of two... minor realms was acceptable, but how could a mortal manage to keep his body unexploded when ȧssailing her realm through two major realm?
Entering Aura emperor realm from Aura grand master?
No such case was ever recorded in history, and even if it did, it wasn't to a level where the craziness brought with Xena's transformation could be worth compared with!
” I... I... I Really unlocked by bloodline seal! 1st seal of my bloodline is unlocked! ”
All injuries which she sustained earlier were recovering at breathtaking speed and Xena who sensed her new found powers to be sky rocketing felt excited!
She also felt a bit emotional at this instance as she no longer could be called a burden, who needs protection!
” Almighty God! She really unlocked her bloodline seal before 18!! ”
Cela understood the logic behind the illogical, still she felt stupefied as Xena created an another miracle which was never unheard in history of continent!
Blood lines were unlocked at age of eighteen, even if it did failed they could have a chance at unlocking it at latter part of life!
Still unlocking ones bloodline before eighteen was not possible as the bloodline wouldn't be mȧturė enough and so does the awakening which wouldn't be fruitful!
Xena who was sobbing then was now overwhelmed with tears of joy, as she finally became an expert who could protect others instead of being protected!
” Wait... Is that not the end to it? ”
Mid-order aura emperor!
High-order aura emperor!
Peak-order aura emperor!
One after the other the breakthrough of minor realms went without a hitch, and bloodline which urged Xena to breakthrough was now suċkɨnġ loads of mana from surroundings which bȧrėly was masked by bubble of Cela to begin with!
Phew! I was worried for nothing... seems like my bubble is more resistant than my expectations...
Cela sighed in with relief, as her worry of getting exposed was unwanted, and seemed like the bubble which was casted through her Devine spell was resistant to Xena's breakthrough, as the shock waves release couldn't necessarily be called attacks right?
Only after reaching peak-order aura emperor realm did her bloodline cooled down, where she was jolt awoke by the stares which overwhelmed her!
” Y...Y...You! I mean princess... you reached peak-order aura emperor straightaway? ”
Xena didn't took the unmannerly question of Cela to heart and just stood straight!
” H...How...!? ”
” Let's deal with traitors first, I can answer your questions later! ”
With strength comes responsibility!
And with responsibility comes the attitude, which could be only be found in leaders to begin with!
Xena's changes had not just brought changes to her body but also to her brains which no longer made her act childish as ever!
” Princess! I don't think the situation is that simple! I mean... I can sense traces of foreign influence on... our general! ”
Xena who readied herself to enter the hall made a temporary stop, only to glare at Cela who seemed found something odd about him!
” Explain? ”
Cela felt frightened for a second as princess wasn't normal as expected, still she let go of stray thoughts at the moment and entered matters quick which was commendable!
” I mean, I could sense the presence of an external influence who seemed intermixed with General's Aura... ”
” You mean... some one is manipulating him from far? ”
Princess felt helpless again as she let her subordinates get controlled by unknown entities which she was ignorant of unless Cela brought it to notice!
” No wonder there were two shades of colour on general which are stark contrast with each other! ”
Before she was weak, and so does her ability which was of limited strength to see through person's heart!
Now that she reached peak order aura emperor realm, a gush of black aura
suppressing the pure white blossom could be looked upon!
” General... So he was loyal to me since the beginning! ”
Xena sighed internally with relief, yet looking at the current situation where general was killing his own men, her heart couldn't help but feel pained, as she dragged them into her imperial family's mess!
Cela then clenched her staff tight and requested
” I ask for princess to drag on time, few dozen minutes at least, so that I could prepare for a cleansing type spell which could provide a wedge for general to fight back! ” Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click for visiting.
Cela belongs to church, combat powers weren't her speciality, but buffing and healing were things which she could be proud about!
As such she wanted to give it a try and who knows weather she might luck out on a big fish like general and cleanse his mind?
######
Current time line!
Xena was still battling the blood wigg general who seemed grown exhausted with depleting mana which was as expected!
Xena was also present at a state which was no better than general himself.
She had yet to gain full control of her powers, which limited her explosive might from lasting long!
Still, she bȧrėly managed to fend off against his attacks with flexible body and reflexes, which somehow managed to restrict him!
Though she managed to restrict him, she couldn't help but leave the other part of battle to few remaining loyal ones who were dealing against traitors at full swing!
” Highest Degree... ... Cleanse! ”
Cela abruptly appeared within ruins of destroyed hall which was bȧrėly holding up from falling down!
The second she casted cleanse spell, all her mana got depleted with it, exposing the rest of her group who could no longer stay hidden in bubble!
General felt a strange gush of energy penetrating into his body which felt threatening!
He tried fighting back, yet no results to avail as it had finished ȧssimilating into his body already which brought abrupt changes to soul that made things difficult for him!
” Fuck! What wrong with this body? How could he fight back even more aggressive than before? Wasn't he nearly got ȧssimilated by me? ”
Chance!
Cleanse spell created an opening for Xena to strike back, she abruptly went close to general, used her swift and flexible legs to aim for generals sword to make him unarmed!
Bang!
With General being unarmed, Xena got a huge advantage against him which she didn't want to slip by through carelessness!
She didn't gave much time for general to retaliate, and made her moves quick.
Boom!
Swish!
Boom!
Xena rotated abruptly at top speed to strike a punch to general's face, she then used the residual momentum to hit his lat with a cross kick and finished the fight by hitting a downward elbow strike to head that almost passed general unconscious!
Thud!
If not for the fact that Xena needs to save general, she might directly use the chance to finish him off with her sword, which was more straightforward way to end things!
” General... he lost...? ”
The traitors felt their hearts jump out from their throat, as they felt like they were done for!
Princess showcased powers which only the mighty figures at peak order aura emperor were capable of!
As such the roles of parties were now reversed, where traitors had to bear the grunt of peak order aura emperor powers, which was ironic as traitors started to regret with the choices!
” Damn! Who could have thought that princess was hiding her strength? ”
” Run! Run! We are no match for her! ”
” Run for lives! ”
Down!
Xena wasn't any thing but merciful to those scums who turned their backs to plot against her!
As such she instantly released her suppressive might to press them all down to floor as she could have fun torturing then to death, later, as she was really in a bad mood to begin with!
General!
Xena landed down on floor and started walking towards the person who was her true follower!
Not any one could just have the presence of white with a true heart, and not any one present out there who could really devote themselves to her, without a hidden agenda behind!
As such she'll go to great lengths to protect those true ones and would also annihilate those fakes who might come try to corrupt them!
” Prin... cess...! Your subordinate had... failed you! ”
With a tear flowing out his eyes, general banged his head down to floor as he seemed asking for forgiveness currently!
General!
Princess too felt a bit emotional as she was the one to be blamed with!
Yet looking at general who was unjustly caught within the internal matters of imperials, she couldn't help but swore internally that she'll protect him, and also never let her loyal retainers face injustice even if she had to face the consequences which was worth going against the world itself!
Being a princess with a lofty status what did she achieve, now that the loyal and faithful retainers were present around her what could she ask for?
As such the swore did not felt exaggerated to her mind, as Xena felt she could achieve that strength in future to back her words!
” Please stand Uncle General, everyone knows that it was not your mistake to get possessed! ”
Uncle general?
She really called him uncle general!
The loyal officers who heard this words had disbelief spun over their faces as Xena felt unreal!
Though she became a bit too caring, she started appearing as the little child once which they used to remember!
If the great general hadn't died then, maybe the princess wouldn't have to face hardships... but considering the development which brought her to such heights they felt conflicted and decided to leave the rest to nature to take care of!
” General? ”
The head which banged the floor was yet to be raised and general who had shut his eyes tight was bleeding from mouth which made Xena worried!
Did I really hit him hard at face?
I broke through recently, so am not adept at controlling power which couldn't be blamed upon!
” Uncle General! Are you alright? ”
Xena rushed towards him with a worried face, yet Cela who just seemed to find some breath to think had her face sunk to despair as things had yet to end for real!
” Wait...! Some things off about him! ”
Her cleanse spell did in fact was casted well, but was there any presence which exited general to confirm the success of spell?
Cela wanted to play safe as she decided to warn, yet Xena had reached almost close to general where the warning could no longer be of significance!
What?
Xena turned around as she found Cela to act weird, yet the next second a terrifying thrust of punch hit her ċhėst which confirmed the thing which Cela wanted to explain!
BOOM!!
What exactly happened earlier?
Cough! Cough!
