The mysterious woman that has been protecting the Salty Swamps for generation, which she called the "Sacred Forbidden Lands" was watching carefully as her persecutors valiantly fought the powerful Chimeric Monsters she has summoned, utilizing the powers she had acquired long, long ago. Her eyes glowed with a bright pink color as she detected the forces of these persecutors elements and mana, and of course, divine power.
"I thought I went overboard with such strong divine monsters, but they seem capable enough. All of them are surprisingly Divine Beings." She analyzed. "And it is quite the varied team. A human, an ice giant, a vampire, and two beast-kin…"
In her long years she had never seen such a variety of non-mermen races as a party visiting these lands. It probably meant they were outsiders, not even originating from this island at all.
"…If they had originated from this island I would had known firsthand whenever they ascended. However this island is too thin and small, there's not enough resources to ascend so many people. And usually, Divine Beings are rare, and often work separately. To see so many working together is truly surprising."
She saw how they fought, and how amazing each one of them was. Ruby, the Vampire, was the strongest of the entire party, and it showed. She manipulated Darkness and Blood Divine Magic at an incredibly proficient level, conjuring walls of darkness and blood, tentacles, chains, and countless curses to weaken the chimera even more.
"The curse the woman has made is rather strong, but I can simply overlap it." Ruby smiled, her eyes shining bright red as her shadows emerged out of her body, resembling two enormous bat-like wings, helping her move at super speed around the battlefield.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Her nails grew long and, by merging with her blood divinity, became sharp and monstrous claws, by moving at super high speed and slashing her foes, she started dealing explosive damage against all monsters in her surroundings, while conjuring curses to weaken them with each blow.
"[Blood Curse of Weakness], [Blood Curse of Pain], [Blood Curse of Paralysis]…!"
"GRUOOOHHH!"
"GRAAARRGGH…!"
"GRYYYEEHH…!"
As the monsters began to agonize and weaken, the rest of the party was already fighting them. Ruby's strength was as high as Rank 9, enough for her to be able to slay these beasts one after the other, but she decided to weaken them instead to give her companions the ability to gain battle experience and divine power by slaying divine monsters.
"[Valkyrie Guardian]! [Sunshine Spear]!"
Hector, the only human of the group summoned a powerful spirit out of his own soul and divinity, a beautiful Valkyrie, a manifestation of his light attribute as she fused her powers with his own spear, and unleashed a terribly bright attack, encompassing the power of the sunshine itself.
BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
His spear blasted away one of the chimeric monsters, completely disintegrating it with all his might. Of course, Ruby's aid was vital to weaken them over.
"GRAAARRRGH!"
"GRUOOOHH!"
Two snake-headed chimeras with the bodies of wolves rushed in, jumping towards Hector while he was fighting. However, blue-colored blur emerged behind them, moving at an incredible speed and slashing them into two halves with the power of a massive longsword made entirely out of Divine Ice and special Divine Metals!
"[Divine Winter Blade Arts]: [Ice Dragon's Fangs]!!!"
SLAAAAASH!
CRAAASSSHHHH!!!
Both monsters fell into the ground, split in half in an instant, and then as they struggled to recover utilizing incredibly powerful regeneration abilities granted by their creator, ice started covering them, freezing the monsters completely.
"RAAAAH! [Ice Splitter]!"
CRAAAASH!
And with another attack, the beautiful and strong Ice Giant woman, Tisha, slain two monsters in mere seconds! As she quickly clashed against many more, her muscular and gorgeous body, a gift of her bloodline and race, unleashed a furious yet provoking aura, bringing the attention of many more monsters!
"Come at me! I've got way more where that came from! Hahahaha!"
The mysterious woman watching them was left perplexed, both of them were already amazing. She had neve truly seen what other races were capable of on their totality, but now she realized Humans and Ice Giants were incredible.
However, beast-kin themselves were also quite amazing. Yuki and Pekora had gone through their own set of challenges through life. Their own challenges made them evolve into stronger women and become even more confident about their own standing in the world, much like Tisha with the bloodline of an ice giant being someone that valued fighting and the thrill of battle, or Hector, who as a human, fought to always protect those he loved and had a strong and emotional heart, the two beast-kin girls had their own distinctive hearts, wilder ones.
Swift, powerful, and agile. Pekora and Yuki merged with their powerful Beast Spirits, unique to the beast-kin themselves. Pekora merged with Aki, gaining super powered lightning and light elements, complementing her own element of nature to gain super speed and amazing enhancements to her physical attacks.
"[Thorn Spears]! [Earthquake]! [Lightning Field]!"
By merging her enhanced physical strength with her spirit magic, she generated earthquakes around her by stepping the floor, and summoned powerful spears made of wood from the ground, stabbing the monsters.
At the same time, her Rabbit Beast Spirit, Aki, granted her the Lightning Attribute, giving her the power to conjure a powerful field of electricity that damaged her foes constantly. and of course, a large sunflower started charging mana above her head.
"[Sunlight Beam]!"
FLAAAAASH!
Her Sunflower Spirit unleashed a powerful beam of sunlight, which then divided into many beams which impacted against many monsters at the same time!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"Hah, what do you think of us now, mysterious girl?"
Yuki asked while her half-tiger form roamed around the battlefield while jumping and slashing away at the beasts mercilessly and with utmost ease. Her dominance was clear as she showcased her incredible strength. The woman testing them was indeed very amused.
"Heh, not bad, but let's spice things up a bit more! [Greater Aberrant Chimera Summon]!"
FLUOOOSH!
An enormous magic circle of over twenty meters emerged in the ground right below everyone's foot, as a massive entity started crawling from within, aberrant and covered in tentacles and red eyes! It emanated an abyssal aura, even similar to the Deep One!
"GRUOOOOHHHHH!"
"What sort of Summoning powers does this woman has?!" Ruby wondered, realizing she had some sort of connection with their enemy.
