Chapter 43

...The final thing he heard was the sonic boom that reached after his killer decapitated him.

Ten or so minutes before this happened, Yasenia was running in the direction that the men were giving through the jade communicator. When she saw some cultivators before her she directly overtook them with her astounding speed.

These cultivators could only see a silvery and golden shadow passing them and disappearing between the exuberant cloud forest vegetation. Moreover, Yasenia was running almost parallel to the ground using her tail as a counterweight so that it was harder to spot her.

After sprinting for some minutes, she reached a ravine and ran through it, at the entrance she saw some [Glass nodes] so she knew that she was near.

She continued sprinting through it, but there weren’t more directions from here on. Yasenia thought ‘It seems that they haven’t reached here yet.’

Yasenia slowed down and searched for clues. After a little time, she suddenly sniffed the air and smelled blood. She went towards it, and lowered her head only to see a piece of cultivation robes smeared with blood, she also knew whose blood was this!

Yasenia sniffed the air and after picking the correct direction she shot forward! The red in Yasenia’s eyes started eating the golden almost completely, little by little until all it was left were red irises with golden cracks. After that, instead of running normally, she started running on all fours, propelling herself with her hands, legs, and tail.

When she arrived at the end of the ravine, she looked in the distance and saw that a man was about to kick Angel. Yasenia felt that she won’t reach in time before he kicks her, thus she overextended herself. Her leg muscles inflated and her tail changed into the sword shape, then it all happened in slow motion.

Her feet stomped on the ground and started pushing, her inflated leg muscles were tearing while straightening her legs little by little pushing her forwards. The harder-than-metal cloud under her feet sank because of her leg strength and the world around her was stretching preparing her vision for the acceleration. Her pupils turned into thin lines only leaving Angel and the man in her sight. Then... *BOOM!*

She reached beside Angel’s side in an instant and while passing at such ridiculous speed, she used her tail and decapitated the bastard that was about to kick Angel. Then, she planted her feet and tail on the ground and started decelerating while protecting Angel with her energy.

She slid more than 300 meters leaving a deep mark on the hard cloud ground and stopped. After decapitating him, the others heard the explosion made by the jump of the dragoness. They looked in the direction of the explosion, only to see a gale coming from there.

They turned towards the other side and saw the long trail in the cloud. They looked towards the end of it and they saw a female carrying Angel. That female’s legs were bleeding a little but the wounds were healing at a visible rate under that silver and golden glow.

Yasenia looked down at the beaten-down Angel and felt her heart hurt. ‘I feel distressed even if she feels sleepy, and these bastards! HOW DARE THESE BASTARDS HURT HER LIKE THIS!’

She turned her crimson gaze with golden cracks towards them and said with a rumbling growl in her voice, “Don’t you dare leave while I treat her, didn’t you bastards capture her to bait me here? Good, here I am. Now call all your bastard companions and let them come, I won’t leave, I promise.”

Yasenia looked at them and said, “Are you all gathered already? I wanted to kill more but it seems that-”

She was cut by a *Bang!* and a group of four appeared from the vegetation. They were Cecile, Evelyn, Oliver, and Gustav. They had different grades of damage, but not a single life-threatening one.

Cecile and the others went towards Yasenia’s side before anyone reacted. They saw Angel in the back, seated inside a formation with injuries. They were about to ask, when Yasenia spoke, “Go inside that formation. I will take care of the rest.”

Cecile and the rest nodded and Yasenia looked towards the new group to see if she could identify someone, ‘Isn’t that... The young master that flirted with me at the entrance exam? There is no way that he is that vengeful... Who was he normally with inside the academy? I had an impression of him, so I spotted him from time to time. He talked a lot with... The silver-haired woman. Was Lucia her name? Is it possible that the girl is that petty? Well, let’s try.’

Yasenia focused her sight and smiled, “So that’s how it is! One of the assholes that set this up is Lucia!”

With her thinned red slit eyes, she saw some people flinch! ‘Bingo! I got one. There must be more people, this amount of high-level cultivators shouldn’t be able to be gathered by that girl.’

The same guy from before sneered, “Wrong! You truly want to try to fish trouble, do you know who Lucia is? She is the daughter of one of the dukes from the Sun empire!”

Yasenia laughed and said, “Oh nice to know, I’m the only daughter of Countess Tatyana from the Moon empire. Good to know all of you.”

Some people’s eyes widen. ‘They weren’t told about this!’ “W-wait you are the-”

Yasenia cut that person’s speech unfurling some of her aura *Boom!* “I will let you guys have one more chance to live, tell me who the people that planned this are, and why did they do this. I will spare all of you if you tell the truth.”

One person this time wanted to get out of here! He was a noble of the Moon Empire, and of course, he knew about the Crazy Countess Tatyana! She killed the whole house of a count because they aimed for her only daughter. The worst part is that the royal family didn’t do anything! Not even a perfunctory punishment! So, he spoke faster than anyone could stop him, “It is Alysa!” *Bang!*

Someone punched him but it was already too late! Yasenia’s smile became face splitting! “Hahaha, finally a name! Hahaha.”

Her countenance transformed into a wrathful expression. She also released her whole spiritual pressure and roared! “RRAALYSAA!! I SWEAR THAT I WILL KILL YOU SO SLOWLY AND PAINFULLY THAT YOU WILL REGRET BEING BORN UNDER THIS HEAVEN!!”

Some low leveled cultivators got pushed back by her voice strength! Yasenia turned towards them and said, “Since I already have a name, I don’t need any of you anymore. Don’t think that I will forgive you just because of this!”

The person that spoke became horrified and screamed, “You said that you will forgive us!”

Yasenia smiled showing her fangs and said, “I lied!”

All of the cultivators unfurled their aura sending spiritual pressure towards Yasenia! Yasenia closed her eyes and then her voice resounded around as if coming directly from the firmament! “[Absorption of Celestial light: Day and night cycle]”

Yasenia’s energy release became completely out of this world! *BOOM!* Her aura spread around like a tide and the sky turned black five hundred meters around her! When she opened her eyes, the irises were completely silver.
