Chapter 277: A Battle Beyond A Mortal's Comprehension Part Three

Misaki looked at the small black orb in her hand and watched as it rose into the air. "Activate!" On her command, the black orb shot out a thin black beam of light that gradually became wider and wider until it filled the whole stage. 

*Boom!*

"Haha! Big Sister, you will need to do better than that!" The barrier of swords withstood the attack dispersing the black beam of light around the wide barrier made of swords, leaving a large hole a few meters deep where the black beam of light hit the ground. "Go!" 

The swords floating in the air shot forward towards Misaki. Misaki just looked at them and waved her hand, forming a massive barrier causing the swords to smash into it. The barrier alone was so strong it showed no sign of even coming close to breaking. Ah Chun frowned, seeing this. She waved her hand, reforming the slaughter of time in her hand before suddenly being assaulted by a bunch of black elongated humanoid figures. 

Ah Chun was forced to dodge and attack her assailants. Annoyed, she waved her hand, and five lights shone bright and formed in front of her. "Take care of the black creatures." This was none other than Lunch, Xiao Feng, Xu Wei, Xiao Long, and Long Jiyi. "Yes, Master!" 

Soon a side battle broke out as Ah Chun's contracted beasts all began fighting the black elongated humanoid figures. Ah Chun took this chance to charge ahead since she knew she could not fight Misaki in a long-ranged battle. Her speed was quick, but Misaki only stood where she was smiling away. "Chun'er, you need to do better than that. You see, when fighting a magic user, you can not just charge at them."

Misaki raised her hand, and a cold air spread out before her. Before Ah Chun even had time to react, the whole area was frozen in ice, and even her own skin was starting to freeze. She tried to block it with her spiritual qi, but she could not block it no matter how much she tried. "What how!?"

"It's simple, really. You see, magic and spiritual qi, although close to each other in some aspects, are fundamentally different. Well, my magic anyway. I am not too sure about those who take in magicules. As it is now, I have both spiritual qi and magic. Even though my cultivation in spiritual qi is very low compared to yours, it still adds to my overall power. As for my magic, well... I am a demon goddess after all!" In other words, Misaki was stronger than Ah Chun when it came to terms of higher cultivation level even without her spiritual qi. "Plus Chun'er, you have not fought any magic users until now. So you did not know how they work. The spells I cast earlier were all for show. Although strong, I knew you could block them. And this ice magic here is only medium-scale tiered magic."

"Humph, I am not done yet!" Ah Chun's eyes flashed with purple, and soon Misaki found herself in a whole new place. But the smile on her face did not disappear. 

"Oh? Not bad an illusion technique. Sadly those don't work on me." Misaki snapped her fingers, causing the illusion to disappear. Seeing how Misaki so easily broke her technique made Ah Chun pout. 

"Big Sister, you bully!" Ah Chun suddenly yelled out as she struggled to try to free herself from the confines of the ice that had now formed halfway up her body. Misaki let out a laugh, with a wave of her hand, everything turned back to normal, and Ah Chun also canceled her skills and called back her contracted beasts. Ah Chun was a bit disgruntled. She knew she could not beat Misaki at this time, so she could only give up this time around. Although she lost, she was not sad about it either, just a little angry because she thought she could have done much better.

Misaki smiled and patted the top of Ah Chun's head. "At some point, you will be just as strong. And our fight would go on for years. It is just that I have the advantage right now. Come, we are done here. We should head back." 

"Mmm…" Ah Chun pursed her lips and followed after Misaki as she flew back into the stands to where their family and friends were waiting.

On a planet called Earth, a young woman stretched her arms as she looked up at the blue sky. Seagulls flew overhead in search of food that tourists would drop or leave unattended. She laid in her beach chair in the shade of the large parasol casting a shadow over her skin. "Mom, come swim with me!"

"Okay, one second… Let me wake your father." The young woman's golden hair glimmered in the sun as she stood up out of the cover of the shadow. She bent down and gently shook the man sleeping on a beach towel at her feet. "Blake, wake up, would you. You have been sleeping ever since we came here. Destiny and the rest of our kids want to play."

"Hmm? Alright, I'm getting up. Alicia… your father, is too much; he forced me to drink for half the night. He would not stop talking about this weird music called rap." Blake sat up and stretched his arms. "How much longer will we be here?"

"Mmm… Tomorrow we will be picking the winner of the lottery, and then I will begin packing things up." Alicia said as she twisted her waist a few times and stretched her legs and arms some more. She then grabbed Blake's hand and pulled him along with her as she walked over to the water. "Destiny, don't do that to your brother!" 

"But he likes it!" 

"No butts! He may drown! Faith! Fate! Put your bathing suits back on! Frey, you said you would watch them!" Alicia rubbed her temples. She did not get headaches anymore, but her frustration was rising.

"Mother, I tried, but they wouldn't listen! I put them on, and they take them back off!" Frey yelled, feeling just as frustrated. 

Letting out a long sigh, Alicia said: " Blake, our kids are nudists..."
