Chapter 315 Fighting A Succubus (Part 1)
'Shreikkk...'
A high pitched scream reverberated from the battle field as another corpse fell to the ground. The prosecutor held a milky white jade blade while a small dagger flashed by from the other hand. The dagger swept through the air as it went right through the head the of another monster.
The monsters were nothing usual. They were demonic chimeras made from the corpses of various different beasts that had been fused together.
With the skin of a rock lion and claws from a midnight wolves. The demonic chimeras were nothing short of deadly. However, they still failed to make a dent on the armor of a Celestial. Like every other monster, they fell to her white blade as she spun around the battlefield with the grace of a princess. Her eyes had turned emerald as a vague silhouette remained behind her.
The silhouette was even more enchanting as it was the silhouette of the world's consciousness itself. The woman in question was not just any woman, but a chosen one with the power to not only sense the aura of the world but to also make use of it.
She was Amanda; the guardian, the hope and the oracle of the world spirit. She had enough strength to obliterate armies at her command while her beauty felled even the most prestigious of them all.
Her white armor glowed with a emerald light as she made use of her powers to call upon the power of the world. Veins appeared in her equipment as they pulsed repeatedly. Her demeanor changed as the emerald glow in her eyes intensified.
She had fooled around for quite some time and it was now upon her to end it all. She raised her hands and started to float in the air. The world spirit merged within her body as her one eyes turned completely white while the other turned emerald. Two consciousness's enveloped a single body as they worked with absolute harmony.
For someone like Amanda, her advancement partially relied on her ability to bond with the world spirit and at her current state, her bond with the spirit was almost perfect. This allowed her to cross the limits of an average Celestial and reach her peak.
Her sword extended as it turned completely emerald while her dagger disappeared. In it's place was a bony white staff. The staff was shaped like the stem of a tree and held a huge emerald crystal on top of it.
This time was different before. When she fought the armies in the portal above the city, she had let the world spirit let control of her and not just that, at the time; her bond with the world spirit was much weaker and so was she.
However, this time was different. Her bond was nearly perfect, thanks to the countless battles she had fought and so was her strength elevated by several levels. To a Celestial, a small bump in strength meant getting strong enough to create a difference in life and death situations. Not to mention several small bumps, this had further boosted her strength and made her stand atop another height.
This time, she was capable of using the strength of the world and cooperate with it as well. The staff glowed more and more as her sword extended thrice it's original size.
Her lips parted slightly as she muttered softly,
[World Domain:- Eclipso]
Those were the words to be said before an energy pulsed out of her and spread through the extent of the battlefield.
Far away, the dean saw the phenomenon as he smiled lightly, "So she finally did it," He thought and called back his army of souls. His eyes turned sharp as he released a part of his domain,
[Domain:- World Of Souls],
enough to deal with them.
The ethereal nature of the domain spread out around the dean as he solidified it somewhat. Knowing that Amanda's domain wouldn't do it any harm, the dean still played safe. After all, a brush against someone else's domain could mean a lot of things.
Lest of all, he couldn't risk getting caught in friendly fire. He solidified his domain and turned himself into a soul. Now, the dean existed in another dimension so he was safe from any interferences upon him in the real world. Though, even he couldn't exert anything in the world, so it was likewise exchange for his safety. Not that the dean was afraid of anything going wrong. Only small fries were left and Amanda was enough to deal with them.
As he domain spread more and more, it engulfed the whole army. Her eyes glinted ferociously as she muttered in a monotone voice,
[Release],
Like the roar of a sleeping beast woken up, her energy exploded as the crystal hummed with power. The energy swept over the battlefield like an angry tide, her hair waved behind her as shockwaves spread throughout the whole battlefield.
Her sword glowed as she noticed another domain defying hers. At first she thought it to be the dean's domain but the energy was wholly different. The aura she sensed was malicious and demonic as she understood that it was the domain of another demon.
A demon that had cowardly hid amongst the armada to defeat her using sneak attacks. Not that it mattered anymore, the demon's presence was revealed and it had no reason to hide anymore.
As she glared at the origin of the domain, the energy swept away the whole armada. Leaving behind the single demon. She locked onto the demon's presence and raised her staff. Pointing the staff at the demon, she declared in a loud voice,
[World Domain:- Weakening Array],
It was her domain and she was the ruler over here. She cast out the array as the staff floated in the air and broke down into multiple shards. To be precise, it broke into fourteen shards in total. Seven of while we're shards from the crystal while the other seven were shards from the handle of the staff itself.
The shards formed seven pairs as they shot towards seven points in the domain. With her being the center of the array, the demon had to kill her to break it's restraints.
The weakening array was just as the name suggested, it siphoned the energy of those who were in it's confines while holding the enemies in place by detecting a barrier strong enough to withstand several full powered attacks from a Celestial.
Not just that, but the array also powered the user itself as a part of the siphoned energy was converted into mana and replenished the one who had cast it.
Any escape for the demon was blocked and from what Amanda gathered, the demon wasn't capable of travelling through space as spatial travel was one huge weakness of her array. Anyone with the power to distort space or travel through it could easily break free of restraints and escape.
The demon grunted as it felt its power siphoned away. Well, now was not the time to hide and the demon had to show itself. As the demon appeared, Amanda appraised it from top to bottom.
Looking at her figure, she realized that it wasn't some usual demon but a quite rare one. The succubus was a rarity in the demon clan as very few were born and their powers were a notch above from the normal demons. Not to mention heir unnatural charm that could sway not just men but even women, these were the creatures of lust as they preyed over beautiful and young men and women to get stronger.
The rest Amanda knew about them and didn't consider thinking of as it was already quite a hassle to fight a succubus. She didn't have time thinking and instead needed to accumulate her mental strength and keep herself on guard.
"Thankfully Prometheus isn't here, or else it would be hard to control that man," She thought and closed her eyes. Calming her mind, she opened them again as the world spirit cast a protective barrier over her brain and consciousness.
She was going to use her own power to defeat her while the world spirit acted to fortufy her mental defenses. The succubus looked at Amanda with a curious glint in her eyes.
Tilting her head sideways, she opened her mouth and locked her lips in a seductive yet tantalizing way. Amanda didn't bother considering her actions as she cast the helmet of her armor and dropped its visor above her eyes.
Seeing her actions, the succubus chuckled like a maiden while her eyes turned as sharp as a sword. Her thin tail moved ever so slightly as it shot forward.
Amanda dodged the tail and slashed her sword, releasing an arc of Emerald light. The succubus didn't bother doing anything more than moving sideway and simply let the arc brush past her shoulder.
A thin streak of blood flowed from her milky white shoulder and travelled down her body. Her breasts bounced a bit as the blood went down from the valley between them. The simple action of blood flowing down was tantalizing enough to drive every man and woman on Earth crazy.
However, Amanda didn't bother with it. She attacked again and again as the succubus slightly parted her lips and giggled while her waist moved seductively to dodge each arc Amanda sent her way.
