Chapter 130: Battle (II)

Immediately Helena said that, the girls went on to individually battle the guards.

Lydia's blue blade appeared in her hand, she then hurled it at one of the guards who only smirked at what she was about to do, since he didn't understand the kind of power that she possessed.

Swoosh!

The blade cut through the air at a great speed like an arrow towards the guard who quickly put out a thick shield that abruptly materialized from a powerful defensive spell that he casted.

However, the blade which was a weapon that always faded in and out of corporeality, turned insubstantial in the next moment and passed through the thick magical shield that the guard generated from the quick weaving of a defensive spell.

Once the blade passed through the shield and turned tangible again, Lydia's body abruptly vanished from where she was and immediately rematerialized at the place where the blade had gotten to.

The blade then stopped shooting forward and remained afloat in mid-air, while Lydia whose body had mysteriously appeared before the guard, launched a heavy punch in his face, hitting the guard hard in the nose.

Bang!

The guard staggered backward because of the hard punch that was sent at his face and heavily impacted his nose, causing it to tear and spurt out blood like it were a small fountain.

Then before he could do anything else, like cast an offensive spell at Lydia, Lydia who had a formidable battle prowess jumped into the air towards him and sent out another hard punch in his face. But this time, the heavy punch connected with his forehead.

Bang!

Due to the amount of force that the punch impacted his forehead with, the guard fell headfirst to the ground and directly fainted.

Just like that, Lydia had quickly won her own battle with the magical guards keeping the items in the map drawing organization secure.

She then grabbed her self-floating, phasing blue blade in the air and rushed to help the other girls.

The guard that Deborah was battling with was the guard that earlier used a Strength Augmentation-type spell on himself to vastly increase his physical strength.

So, as he tried to resist the immensely strong current of wind that Deborah generated at him from her rapidly flapping wings, with the intention of blowing him off his feet and into the distance in the large and wide hallway, Deborah furrowed her brows as she decisively deployed her upgraded bloodline power, the Azure Brilliance Razor Wind.

Once she thought of unleashing that power, everywhere in the hallway became intensely lit up by the strongly illuminating azure light that suddenly erupted from her wings which was beginning to grow larger in size.

As soon as her wings emanated the dazzling brilliance that dyed everything in the hallway with it intense azure color, Lydia quickly tried to get away from where she was, which was behind the guards by throwing the blade in her hand at one of the girls in her group. Her body then vanished in the next instant from where she was and rematerialized where her girls were in the next second.

When Deborah noticed that Lydia had vanished away from the back of the guards, she proceeded to unleash her wind-based power.

Her colossal, metal-like wings which glowed intensely in azure, flapped only once and generated an unusually powerful, azure-colored wind that possessed the power of many tsunamis and a type of formidable sharpness that it invoked the feeling that it would cut the invincible skin of immortals and shred apart the nigh-indestructible bodies of Deities and Devils.

Immediately the exceedingly furious, sharpness-imbued wind appeared and swept towards the guards, the guards' eyes shone with tremendous shock, as they could perceive the tyrannical strength of the wind, and the overbearing colossal sharpness that it radiated outwards.

Very quickly, they prepared to jointly cast a powerful defensive spell that they all knew, since they had studied it together.

Aetha energy rushed out of their entire bodies like they were engulfed in flames to a point that was only a few feet in front of them.

Then once the energies that had discharged from their bodies accumulated at that point, they quickly gathered to form a pool of magical energy which then transformed in the next instant into an astonishingly thick wall; a wall that lustred like it was made from steel and was many feet thick and wide that it ends connected with the opposite walls of the hallway that they were in.

However, what they didn't understand was that only very few things which are extremely rare in the world would be able to withstand the wind-bound power of the dark warrior seraphim race. Even if it was low-powered, that is, was at a low or basic level due to the level of comprehension of the lineage-power caster or wielder, it would still slash apart almost everything in it path.

Bang!

The raging, sharpness-infused wind tyrannically impacted the thick shield that the guards abruptly produced from a formation-like defensive spell and quickly reduced it to smithereens in the next instant.

The wall, as thick as it was, and as durable as it felt, since it shone like it was forged from some kind of tough metallic alloy, couldn't even withstand the shredding and slicing power of the sharpness-bearing wind for some moments. It rapidly reduced into fragments like thousands of extremely sharp gigantic blades which was wielded by the thousand arms of a furious thousand-armed giant, struck it at the same time with all the strength that it could possibly muster.

However, the violent unearthly wind couldn't go any further to harm the guards when another tall, thin-layered barrier suddenly erected in front of them.

Bang!

The wind impacted the barrier really hard like it had great resentment for the guards and wanted to simply annihilate them, but the barrier that suddenly appeared in it path of destruction to stop it and block it advancement towards the guards, remained there without any form of damage to it structure. Not even a single slight mark or scratch could be seen on it surface.

Helena who wasn't able to take any action yet, since the girls in her cult abruptly launched themselves into action to fight the guards, had her narrowed eyes widen with intense shock when she realized the amazing durability that the magical barrier, which had suddenly surfaced before the guards possessed. Same with Deborah and the other girls who looked on with great astonishment in their eyes.

Then they all realized in the next moment that a more powerful guard had appeared, perhaps the deputy chief guard or the main chief guard who could either be a Heaven-level spellcaster or Mage-level spellcaster.

A woman who held a wooden scepter with a glowing crystalline orb on top of it, flew down to stand before the guards.

She then said to them by asking "Are you guys alright?"

"Yes ma'am. We are alright" One of the guards answered.

"Alright" The woman wielding the scepter said with a concerned nod of her head.

She then turned her head to look around at the hallway.

She however shook her head in the next moment when she saw how badly damaged it had become.

At the moment, the walls of the hallway had disappeared, since they had been reduced to dust by the furious wind that raged towards the guards with a great and tyrannous sharpness that endlessly exuded from it. While the tiled floor of the hallway had splintered as the sharpness emanating from the wind lacerated them in thousands of places apart.

Now gazing at Helena and the girls behind her, the woman said "See what you have done to this place, now you girls will pay heavily for it reparation."

Haha!

Helena grinned

"So you want us poor girls to pay to have this place fixed? Let us tell you something woman, we don't have any money to pay. No matter how you shake us while upside down, not a dime will drop from us. If you therefore don't want any degree of damage to be further done to your organization, I will suggest that you give us the map that we are here for and let us go in peace" She said with a determined gaze in her eyes.

The woman's eyes narrowed, while a cold glint surfaced in her eyes.

"Do you know who you are talking to?" The woman unexpectedly asked.

"Uhm... Yes? A spellcaster, right?" Helena asked.

"Yea. A spellcaster. One that you silly, stupid and rude girls can't possibly contend with in anyway" The woman said.

"Oh!" Helena exclaimed and then giggled.

She then asked "You must be a Heaven-level spellcaster, right?"

The woman only ignored Helena to look at Deborah and asked "You, what race are you from? And why aren't you the leader of the group that this girl is leading?"

Deborah's eyes shone with shock.

"What? That's what I will never do. Why would I want to contend for the seat of authority of the Valiant Blade Empress? I am not powerful enough to do that." She said.

She then spoke further with a light of comprehension in her eyes "I know what you are trying to do, ma'am. You are trying so sow a seed of discord in us"

The woman heard what Deborah said and then shook her head.

She then said "Valiant Blade Empress? Sounds like the name of a weakling to me."

"Now, you girls should surrender now. Stop being so stubborn, or you will simply have yourselves killed." The woman said with the crystal ball on her scepter glowing brightly.
