Chapter 96: No More Faking
The atmosphere around Lysara hitched as she lunged forward, cutting through the sky like a spatial blade. Sparks lingered in her wake, her massive celestial glowing sword slicing through the air at her left.
Featherless claps echoed while her six appendages flared behind her, bouncing hot air on the ground. "Whatever you say or do doesn’t have the chance to change the heavenly laws."
A white-hot celestial fire flashed out of her. She descended straight onto the hilt of the gigantic weapon. SHUMP!
The base of her heels struck the sword’s hilt, and an inferno erupted, incinerating everything that came into contact with it.
Large cracks spread through the translucent cage keeping her steeds hostage as the celestial heat touched it.
Smoke and high-pitched screams tore out of the caged steeds. Released by the striking divine energy, they erased from existence.
Levi’s eyebrows hardened, strands of brown hair flickering on his forehead. ’This will be a bit hard to stop.’
Cloth rustled around him while he kept a silent gaze at the blazing gigantic sword. Its flames tore through his concubines’ combined Aether.
With a single inhale, a mixture of golden, blue, crimson, and gray glows seeped out of his chest and rushed outward.
The embers touched the blazing edges of Lysara’s gigantic blade, instantly forming a dome of brilliant light around Levi and his concubines.
A warm smile tore onto Levi’s face. ’This will d...’
His brilliant light dome shattered in seconds. Levi gulped heavily, the hair on his arms rising on end while the broken barrier rained down on them.
Stone groans and dust puffed upward. Senna, Shallot, and Mia went straight to their knees by the sheer pressure of the celestial fire.
The force pinned Saintess Lilith to one knee, the hems of her white prayer gown sweeping across the floor. "Master, it’s too dense."
Gold hair danced at her face as she shifted her gaze from the blazing sword descending from the sky and focused on Levi. "DO SOMETHING, MASTER."
Levi glanced at Lilith, his chest heaving before he smiled. ’Don’t worry.’
Debris rained down from the prayer castle. The blade of the gigantic celestial sword came down in a vertical cleave, splitting the structure in a perfect half.
Screams tore through the sky of the central city. The sword’s force shattered every tall tower to dust.
The iron bars of the city’s cells melted as the shockwave surged through the dungeons, sending every jailed prisoner running into the open.
Countless citizens at the southern and eastern parts of the central city rushed out of their towers, watching the sky with a doomsday expression on their faces.
Noona rushed out of the isolated palace castle holding her father’s hands, silver-white lights dwindling on the floor. "Dad, hurry."
Duke Charles’ legs kicked each other. Dragging his drunk self out of the tower’s doors, he murmured wordlessly.
Just as she exited, her Prism howled and lowered itself.
Noona pushed her father onto the Prism’s back and joined in, sitting right behind him. "HIA!"
The Prism jumped into the sky at great speed, sending a wave of heated air slamming on the floor to puff dust and gravel.
Tiny feathers rained at the front of the Pendant Tower while countless central city soldiers Levi had jailed rushed out of the premises.
Isabella rushed out with an angry face, strands of clicking black hair whipping through the air. "Hear me, little ones!"
Faint bone creaks lingered around her. Inhaling deeply, she straightened herself. "Together, we built this city!"
She turned to the twenty-nine high-tier noble women, her face burning with anger. "Together, we make our enemies pay!"
Shouts of war tore through the alleyways of the city. Rushing forward, they struck their boots hard against the ground.
Sharp glows flashed out of Isabella’s eyes. She squinted at the celestial descending blade with a smile. ’Your reign ends now, slave!’
Metal clicks echoed during the rush. The twenty-nine high-noble women dashed through the entrance of the golden palace.
Pressure slammed their huge breasts and asses against their bodies, their faces burning with power.
War-striking war suits began to climb up their legs, flashing with colorful light.
The metal formed into lewd combat suits while their hair tied up in ponytails behind their heads.
Metallic dust swirled up around them. From the shroud, unbreakable titanium shields materialized on their backs.
...
The gigantic celestial sword reached seven feet above Levi, flapping the strands of brown hair at his skin. ’Think, think, think!’
Hot sweat beaded his forehead as he shifted his gaze from the striking blade to his hands. ’If I utilize the divine power, I might be able to stop this.’
The sweat on his face trailed thin lines on his cheeks while he gulped down the saliva snaking down his throat. ’But I will also need to increase it more because it won’t be a huge amount of power to start with.’
Isabella and the hundreds of soldiers, including the twenty-nine high-tier noble women now in their war forms, stopped at the edge of the prayer castle courtyard. The ground beneath his boots heaved.
Levi’s brow furrowed. Shifting his gaze from his hands, he looked at the striking, war-looking ladies standing at the far distance. ’So, this is what she is hoping for after we healed her.’
He closed his eyes and sighed in dissatisfaction. ’Ungrateful being.’
The burning edge of the celestial blade came within ten inches above his head, boiling the beads of sweat on his skin.
All eight kneeling concubines’ faces twisted with dreadful sadness. Levi stood perfectly still, as if not feeling the burning pressure the sword carried.
His eyes remained closed while his chest rose and fell. Colorful glows shimmered on his skin as he channeled a huge amount of his Aether, then cracked his eyes open. ’No more faking.’
He raised his left arm. BANG!
Bright light burst from the collision of his hand and the celestial blade. A heavenly shockwave of blinding white and crimson light exploded outward, flattening every building and pillar within a one-mile radius, including melting the shields of the soldiers following Isabella.
