『Ding! You have successfully eliminated a cultivator of Mid 5th-order.....』
Seeing the notifications from the system, Aditya was baffled. The cultivators that he just slaughtered was Peak 5th-order cultivators. Yet the system is showing him that he had killed Beginner and Mid orders cultivators. He had no idea what was going on. Aditya did not doubt that the system might have made some mistake. The possibility of the system making a mistake was completely zero.
'This means that.... the mysterious cloaked man from that organization has done something to these cultivators which had temporarily pushed their cultivation ranks.' Aditya thought in his mind. Aditya wasn't completely sure of his theory. This was the only possible explanation that he could find at the moment.
Aditya calmly looked back at Amber. Both of them stared at each other for a second before Amber stepped forward. Aditya watched Amber's back for a second before he disappeared once again.
Swoosh!!!!
He had left the rest to his general Amber. Now that Amber has evolved her bloodline and also has reached beginner 5th-order, he is confident that she will be able to take down the rest of the enemies without needing any help from the shadow guardians.
Amber noticed that Aditya had disappeared. She figured that he must have gone after the mysterious cloaked man and the Holy Pope before those two could escape or plot something dangerous.
Taking out her dagger, Amber calmly started walking towards the rest of the forces of the church. Seeing her walking towards them so calmly, the forces of the church felt a sense of danger from the unknown power that the 5th general of the Istarin Empire might held within her. At the same time, in their minds, the memories of what Aditya had done to their Peak 5th-order cultivators was still very fresh and crystal clear. This made them even more hesitant to attack Amber. Who knows Aditya could be around and before they could even attack her, their heads might be flying up in the air.
Everyone nervously watched as Amber made her way towards them with calm and steady steps. "You fools, what are you doing attack her? What are we hesitating for? We are going to die anyway. Death will claim us today or tomorrow. So let's not live a life of coward and let's live like a lion. So that we won't have any regrets and guilty even if we die here." One of the Holy Knights shouted very loudly seeing no one attacking the enemy.
As if his speech seems to have given the members some hope, everyone gained some courage and one by one everyone started attacking Amber.
An old nun raised her hand towards Amber and then closed her eyes. "By the heavens' grace and the stars' luminosity, I call upon the Divine Spear of Light! Pierce through the veil of darkness!"
Divine Spear of Light!
Another Nun followed the old nun and chanted a different spell. ""Blessings of the cosmos, descend as a rain of purity! Holy Starfall, let your embers cleanse!"
Holy Starfall!!!
A third nun followed and chanted a different spell. "In the quiver of the almighty, lies a bolt of sanctity. Sacred Arcane Arrow, fly true and shatter evil!"
Sacred Arcane Arrow!!!!
The Holy Knights also followed everyone and rushed at Amber.
Witnessing the rising morale among the ranks of the church forces, Amber couldn't help but let a captivating yet icy cold smile appeared on her face. Her charm had reached such hazardous heights after her evolution that she could easily stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the seven goddesses in terms of beauty. Had she not been the enemy they were facing, her smile would've certainly charmed the men in the crowd.
"A stirring oration, indeed," Amber acknowledged, momentarily stopping her advance. Her fingers tightened around the hilts of her daggers, their knuckles going white. The atmosphere seemed to grow heavy as she unleashed her Beginner 5th-order Aura. Her eyes, burning with an intense desire to kill, met those of her enemies. A cold energy emanated from her, sweeping across the battlefield and causing involuntary shivers to run down the spines of the church forces.
The Nuns and holy knights, who had just moments before found their courage uplifted by the inspiring words of one of their own, felt an icy dread creeping into their hearts. They realized that the words that had fueled their bravery could not protect them from the impending doom they sensed from Amber.
"Speeches may inspire, but they don't shield you from blades," Amber declared in a voice as chilling as the winter wind. The words seemed to hang in the air, a stark counterpoint to the blood pumping speech that had just heard across the field.
Just as she finished these sentences, many different kinds of attacks reached her. There was holy fireballs, Sacred Arcane Arrows, Holy Starfalls, Divine Spears of Light, Divine beam, and many other kinds of attacks. Everyone clearly saw all of these attacks hitting her.
Booooooooooom!!!!!!!!
From the combined attacks, the whole capital shook as if earthquake has come. A loud explosion took place and the thunderous sound of the explosion reached the ears of everyone. The shadow guardians for a moment became nervous wondering if General Amber has been killed from all of this attacks hitting her at once. Meanwhile, the forces of the church at first looked stunned before smiles started appearing on their faces. Even if they knew that they can't stop emperor Aditya, but if they managed to at least kill the Istarin Empire's 5th general Amber, then it's worth it. And it would make them really happy.
Watching Amber apparently fall to the barrage of their attacks, a wave of exultation erupted among "By the grace of the gods, we've done it!" shouted Sir Gilbert, a middle-aged Holy Knight with a bushy 09:45
beard, as he lifted his sword skyward in a triumphant salute.
the nuns and Holy Knights. Their faces, which were tense and anxious moments ago, broke into wide smiles and their eyes sparkled with joy. They mistakenly believed that they had successfully vanquished their formidable foe, a belief that filled them with newfound hope and lifted their spirits enormously.
"By the grace of the gods, we've done it!" shouted Sir Gilbert, a middle-aged Holy Knight with a bushy beard, as he lifted his sword skyward in a triumphant salute.
Sister Agnes, a nun in her late twenties with a youthful face, clasped her hands together and exclaimed, "Our prayers have been answered! We are victorious!"
A young Holy Knight named Timothy, his armor still gleaming and barely touched by the battle, chimed in with a hearty laugh, "I knew we could do it! She was tough, but nothing stands a chance against our unity and faith!"
Another nun, older and with gray hair peeking out from under her wimple, simply closed her eyes and muttered a quiet prayer of thanks. "Blessed be the Divine for delivering us from evil."
Others among them cheered, clapped, and even embraced each other in their shared joy, certain that they had successfully removed a powerful threat from the battlefield.
Just as the atmosphere was at its peak of joy and relief, a chilling voice sliced through the celebratory uproar, instantly freezing the smiles on their faces. "Victorious? Is that what you think you are?"
Emerging from the smoky aftermath of the explosion came Amber, her figure outlined against the curling plumes of gray ash. She stepped forward, untouched by the onslaught they were sure had defeated her. Her cold, calculating eyes swept over the crowd, and her icy tone sent shivers down everyone's spine, instantly dampening the celebratory mood.
The nuns and Holy Knights took an involuntary step back, their faces draining of color as they stared at her in disbelief and fear. At the same time, all they gulped in fear. Their faces turned pale and their backs were drenched in sweat.
"Impossible..." stammered Sir Gilbert, his sword arm dropping to his side, the weight of the weapon now seemingly too heavy for him to hold up.
"It—it can't be. How is she unscathed?" Sister Agnes murmured, her hands trembling as she clutched her rosary beads.
Timothy, the young Holy Knight who had been so jubilant moments earlier, swallowed hard, his eyes wide with terror. "W-what kind of monster are you?"
The older nun who had closed her eyes to offer a prayer of gratitude now opened them, her expression shifting from serenity to one of deep concern. "This is an abomination."
fears."
09:46
A second figure emerged from the billowing smoke and flames. It was another Amber, a mirror image of the first, her expression as cold and steely as the original."Is that so? Then how do you explain this?" The second Amber's icy voice cut through the air, freezing the church's forces to their very core. The two Ambers stood side by side, and as they did, an oppressive aura emanated from them both.
A heavy, shocked silence descended upon the crowd. Jaws dropped, eyes widened, and swords and shields were lowered in disbelief and dread.
"But...there's two of them?" Sir Reginald's voice quivered as he questioned the reality in front of him.
"No, this can't be happening," muttered Sister Eleanor, her eyes darting between the two Ambers as if expecting one to vanish. Her fingers nervously gripped her cross pendant.
Sir Leonard, an older, battle-hardened Holy Knight, took off his helmet, exposing a face etched with disbelief and a dawning horror. "We're facing something beyond our understanding, beyond our worst fears."
A young nun named Maria was literally trembling, her eyes moist with oncoming tears. "I-I thought one was terrifying...but two? How can we ever hope to face this?"
After evolving into a Ethereal Phantom Dragon-Fox Bloodline, Amber has gained a lot of powerful abilities. Now, she can confidently say that only a few rare exceptional beings in this world can compare against her in illusion. Her illusion powers had grown so much that now it will be impossible for her enemies to draw a boundary between what is reality and what is illusion. Not even Vespera, the one who put Aditya in illusion and nearly killed him could compare against the current Amber.
After her evolution, she has gained many new skills related to illusion. One of the new gained skills was 'Illusionary Queen's Mirage'. It was a skill that allowed her to cast highly realistic illusions that can deceive even the most perceptive beings. These illusions can be used to manipulate both sight and other senses, providing her with an incredibly versatile tool in combat or diplomacy.
From the moment Aditya left, Amber had put them under her illusion without them even knowing. Aside from 'Illusionary Queen's Mirage', she had many other skills which she is really excited to explore in the future.
'I guess, I have played with them for long enough. It's time to end their lives.' Amber thought in her mind while staring at the Nuns and Holy knights. She wanted to see them fear and look scared. And now she had achieved her goal. She has shaken their morales and their believes and now it was time to end them.
