Chapter 362 No joy for victory?
On giving the command to fire by Victor, a large Volley of Spiritual energy was let loose. This one was several times bigger and more consuming than the previous one that was fired.
However, its target was not the people below but rather, it was the giant Holographic form of the priestess.
Before the blast could reach, she raised her shield that was entirely, green, up in defense.
*BOOM!*
The hit of two energies was a violent one. It made the Priestess involuntarily take a few steps back, but she still stood her ground as she held her shield up to her face in defense.
Regardless of the intense power that the blast came with, she still stood her ground.
However Chiron observed the fight closely. It was not difficult for him to notice that the Spirit energy blast shaved a significant amount of Aura energy from her, therefore making her body look as if it was peeling off.
This made Chiron frown. He looked back into the temple. The entire place was still glowing with Aura energy, and the runes were still intact showing that a strong flow of power was going into the priestess's body.
However, in the battlefield, it was entirely different.
It was only now that Chiron observed the body of the Holographic projection of the?priestess and noticed something very vital.
Red Aura formed her spear. The body itself was made of mixture of yellow and purple aura.
The shield in her hand was made of green aura. The whip by her side was made of the Orange Aura. Chiron had not seen her use this and was not too sure what it was used for.
Indigo Aura made for her helmet. This did not surprise Chiron one bit. After all, controlling so much Aura must be draining on the mind.
The indigo Aura gave calm, peace of mind and the Will to continue.
However, there was no Blue.
One look at the entire structure of the giant form and Chiron could guess that the Blue that was for hope, was responsible for restoring the parts that were worn out in battle.
This was further confirmed by the Fate change system.
Not withstanding, the priestess still held on.
Chiron massaged his jaw as he continued to observe the happenings. It was obvious that this weapon was missing a fundamental part that made it vulnerable.
He turned to look into the distance, at the image of Mani as he fought.
incredible plans formed in his head.
The priestess held her ground, and eventually, the blast stopped. Immediately, she took out the Orange aura whip by her side.
As she did, she aimed at the Tesseract and swung the whip towards it.
Luckily, by only a little bit, she missed the Royal Tesseract that had Victor in it. But she got another one closest to it.
Unlike what Chiron was expecting, the moment the whip hit the Tesseract, the entire thing disintegrated in the air as it flew through the air and became a part of her armor.
The Orange aura was one of greed, taking everything for itself. That was the same thing that had just happened.
Naturally, the people that had been in the craft were also affected. However, they instantly turned to dust, and blew away with the wind.
Victor and the others in his Tesseract had seen this. Fear instantly ran through their spins.
Victor did not hesitate as he gave the order, "Get us out of here immediately."
Instantly, the soldiers rushed about the place as thrusters were activated for their swift escape.
All the other tesseracts also began their retreat with many Vandorian soldiers running for their lives, and many more trying to hitch rides on the core beasts.
The priestess did not pursue. Rather, she stood there like a sentinel guardian as she watched them escape.
It was not that she did not want to pursue, but the truth was that she couldn't. Nevertheless, she held fast as she stood her ground.
The highlanders with their high morale screamed their victory like crazy people.
Their home had been attacked and they had won. They had been able to defeat the enemy.
The Holographic image of the Priestess which had planned the major role in this battle was praised and slowly, it disappeared as it returned back to the mountain. The parts of the tesseract that had come to form a part of its armor fell to the ground.
While the crowd was screaming the victory of their success, the priestesses soul essence returned to her body, and with this, the runes on the wall all went dark.
Instantly, she passed out on the ground.
Chiron, the good soldier that he was, rushed to her aid. "priestess, are you alright?"
However, before he could reach her, her maids had already rushed over to her aid. One of then turned to him, "The priestess has used too much of her stamina and mental energy, she will be needing time to rest."
The maid bowed respectfully to Chiron before helping to take the priestess to her inner chambers.
Chiron nodded in understanding as he turned and left the place. However, he had only taken a few steps when he heard the Priestess mutter Mani's name.
Chiron exited the temple and joined the soldiers below.
They were really excited about their victory and a few of the strong Red aura warriors lifted Barbara up in the air as they sang her praises.
Chiron stood and watched from afar. However, a particular unexpected fellow suddenly materialized from the ground close to him.
It was none other than Abel.
He had a solemn look on his face. "incredible isn't it?" he asked Chiron.
Chiron turned to him and nodded. "Yes it is. Our Highlander Tribes are fighting back and we are wining."
Abel nodded, "yes, it is a good thing. However, you seem rather calm than wild for a highlander. I mean..." he turned to Chiron, "...you seem to be the only one that is not expressing wild joy..."
