Chapter 340 Threat to the Union
Meanwhile, up in the hill. In a particular room, a temple covered with ancient symbols and runes, a woman dressed in beautiful clothes and covered with both jewelry and Rune symbols sat in a lotus position.
She had been meditating but she immediately opened her eyes. Her brows frowned. Just now, she had felt a foreign energy against the hill. As a god child and priestess in charge of the tranquility of this hill, she had immediately used its power to defend.
But the foe had been a slippery one, escaping before she could deal true damage.
In their short encounter, she had sensed two energies. One felt like an abomination of the Aura energy. Even till now, it left a bad aftertaste to the feel.
It was like touching the by-product of food after it had been eaten by an animal and shat out.
It was absolutely disgusting and revolting.
Although she did not recognize this revolting energy, she easily recognized the second one. After all, it was energy that was most known on the Almace continent.
It was none other than Spirit energy.
This land was the holiest place of the Aura tribes, and the reason was because far underneath, the earth veins that blessed all of the Aura land came from this one point.
It was the source, the crust of it all.
This meant that this point was pure unbridled power. In the right hands, it could be a power source of good will and could continually be used to bless the land.
However, in the wrong hands, it could serve as a deadly weapon.
It was normally the job of all tribes to protect this place together. But in times were a god child was born, this task fell to the god child.
Her presence was not always required in this place for it to be protected. After all, the Runes on her skin were connected to this place. However, she remained here, unable to ever live.
After since that accident many years ago that led to the birth of her child, she was missing certain runes on her body. She had no choice but to remain here, never to leave, not even to help with the war effort.
Even though she was a god child that could potentially give the Aura tribes a great boost in strength, she could not leave.
This duty was most important.
They had been attempts on this hill many times in the past, but she had always destroyed their attempts.
With the control of the hill, she could even channel power that was far above her cultivation level, all the way to the Silver level of the middle realms.
This was one place that even the Zodiac families handled with care.
However, this was the first time that she had felt the strange combination of energy.
She could not help but consider one possibility. "The Holy Church!?" She told herself.
It was not her fault that she arrived at this conclusion. Even though they currently had a partnership with the Holy church, it was not the first time that they had planned to get this hill for themselves.
Also, they always had one strange power or ability up their sleeves.
Considering that Abel was not so far away from this exact location. A member of the holy church that had the ability to phase through matter, it was easy for her to believe that it was his doing.
Even though he had brought a solution to their current predicament with the Vandoria kingdom, he was still a huge suspect.
This Priestess was no fool. The Holy church never ever gave free lunch.
She opened her eyes as she lightly waved a hand.
Instantly, a cultivator of the yellow Aura energy appeared, "yes, Priestess!"
"Send word to Barbara. I desire an audience with her!"
"Yes, Priestess!" The person immediately turned to move. However, a Rune on the Priestesses body suddenly glowed, and then she stopped the cultivator.
"He is here! My son is here." She whispered to herself.
"Wait! don't worry, I'll go see her myself."
"But Priestess, You are not supposed to leave the..."
The Priestess turned sharply to the cultivator instantly making him swallow his words as he fell to the ground. The yellow Aura in his body suddenly went out of control causing him excruciating pain.
Her control of any Aura of the rainbolic spectrum was incredible, and regardless of the individual or the realm, she could exact a part of her will on the individual's flow of energy.
"Are you telling me what i can and cannot do?"
"No, Priestess! Please forgive me Priestess. I did not mean to disrespect you. I only... AHHH!" He screamed in pain.
The Priestess sighed as she allowed her sudden anger to subside. She took deep breaths in and out to calm down. The usage of the Aura energies usually left her filled with a rush of sudden emotions for the oddest of moments.
She stopped the torture she was inflicting on the cultivator. "I will only be going to the foot of the hill. Send word to Barbara."
"Yes, Priestess!" The cultivator immediately bowed as he ran out of sight. He did not know if he stayed any longer, she would spring into yet another emotion.
With the extreme pain he just felt, he was not willing to take chances.
......
Meanwhile in the headquarters made mostly, of wood and Vasma Steel, Barbara addressed a group of top warriors who acted as her generals.
They all stood around a table that had the map of the Highlands placed on it with dummies to represent different points and armies.
"The main army of the Vandorian kingdom is divided into three, The first is the Assault team they have been sending to attack our villages and our combined army. The second is the center army that holds the General and Prince Victor and the last is the Border Army that creates a fence between both lands at the border. To truly crush the Vandorian army, we must crush not the Assault team but the center Army carrying the brains of this operation."
It was at this time that two things happened. The first was Mani walking into the spaced room. His entrance instantly pulled the attention of the Generals and even Barbara herself. The second was...
