Chapter 83

Assuming he was someone important, Yasenia changed her direction toward the voice. She left the leafy forest, and what greeted her was a clearing. There were 15 cultivators where she was running, and on each side, there were another 10.

Nonetheless, this small army didn’t deter our dragoness; on the contrary, the battle-crazed dragoness smiled excitedly.

Her golden draconic eyes focused on the man that seemed to be giving orders and charged toward him! The leader shouted, “NOW!”

All the cultivators attacked simultaneously, and a myriad of attacks went her way. Yasenia smiled, and her charming lips opened “[Full Moon].”

Using 10% of her energy, she stabbed the sword down, piercing it on the ground. A silver dome grew exponentially fast from the stabbing point, meeting with the incoming attacks.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

The attacks landed on the shield, making it wobble dangerously and almost destroying it; however, it fended them all! This was the reason that she was using [Crescent Moon] against the cat-kin.

Besides the powerful ranged attacks that [Crescent Moon] offered, Yasenia used it to accumulate energy and release a powerful [Full Moon] when she arrived at the ambush location. It worked perfectly.

Now that Yasenia set the battlefield, she unruffled her domain with a circular swing of her sword! “[Moonless night]”

Before they released the second wave of attacks, Yasenia charged towards the side with most cultivators and where the leader was. Ten of the 15 lunged toward her, armed with different melee weapons. The strongest was a level six cultivator.

Yasenia used the same tactic that she used with the cat-kin, and while approaching, she spun around once, using her sword and tail to release [Crescent Moon].

In turn, the cultivators tried to block them head-on. Bad choice!

On this night with a crescent Moon, her skill was a lot stronger than normal. The first crescent impacted, and some weren’t strong enough to block! They were either sent flying, grievously wounded, or directly killed. Only the first crescent put five people out of combat!

The next crescent arrived faster than they expected since she launched it with her tail. This attack took by surprise two of them and killed them! The other three managed to dodge and continue their charge.

Yasenia didn’t want to clash with them since she wanted to avoid what had happened before.

The cultivators from the sides and others that appeared on her back were approaching her while she charged forward. If she clashed, she would be surrounded and killed easily.

‘Kill the general, then attack the disordered troops!’

Yasenia thus made a faint call pointing her sword forward without stopping running. “Sun charge!”

The cultivators in front stopped and readied their defense, only to see Yasenia jumping above their head and continuing to run towards the leader! They hastily turned and followed after her.

Yasenia looked towards the calm level nine cultivator. ‘Even if I hurt myself... Kill him! Only then will I have a chance!’

For the next seconds, time slowed down! Yasenia’s pupils thinned into lines, and her irises became completely silver. She pointed her sword forward as her leg muscles inflated, and she stomped hard, “[Lingering star step], [Moon charge], [Celestial coat].”

The floor sunk under her leg strength, and she catapulted herself forward like a sliver meteor extremely close to the ground!

With his more advanced mental prowess, the ninth-level cultivator started dodging the fast charge to the right without becoming nervous. He sneered on the inside, ‘You won’t hit me with something like that.’

However, Yasenia wasn’t done yet! When she was 100 meters away, she stomped the ground again and used her tail to change direction. Her leg and tail muscles ripped, trying to abruptly change the direction of her monstrous charge as her meridians pumped energy crazily. Blood splashed from her legs as the stars around Yasenia started rotating around the sword that shone with silver radiance! “[LUNAR STAR CHARGE]”Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

*BOOOOM!*

The ground beneath Yasenia directly exploded as Yasenia blasted forward, becoming a silvery-white beam of pure destruction!

With his vision, the ninth-level cultivator saw Yasenia go from a fast-running speed to becoming a blur. He hastily used his life-saving technique, “[Nature’s protection]!”

It was a technique that could block one attack, no matter the strength. The limitation was that if the opponent were five levels or above, it wouldn’t be able to stop it easily.

The roots covered him in an instant, making a cocoon. Since Yasenia couldn’t control herself, she couldn’t react to that instantaneous defense! The sword tip crashed against the wooden cocoon.

“[Starry sky].”

White lights started gathering around her.

“[Moonless Night].”

Pivoting in one leg, she did a full circle around her with the sword and splashed blood on the grass around her. As her silvery domain unfurled, she turned towards the 27 approaching cultivators and continued with her gentle tone.

“[Celestial coat].”

The coat became stronger, maintaining her bones in place. Then, she took one step forwards, and while her nerves shrieked in pain, she did a horizontal slash.

“[Crescent Moon].”

The 150 m wide crescent shot speedily and clashed with the distant cultivators. Even in her state, the attack hit heavily, freezing two of the weaker ones to death. She aimed at another group of cultivators, and her voice continued chanting with the same soft tone, “[Crescent Moon].”

She swung her sword, making blood spill, hers and her enemies. The crescent hit as hard as the previous one, killing another one.

“[Shooting star].”

She aimed at an injured cultivator, killing them on the spot.

The fastest lightning and light cultivator closed on Yasenia. Yasenia prepared as the lightning cultivator attacked Yasenia with a spear. She used her sword as a shield,

*Clang.*

Her body screamed in pain, but her mind commanded her body to use the momentum and dodge the light cultivator sword. While she was dodging, she moved her spear tail swiftly and managed to pierce the head of the light cultivator she had just evaded.

Another three cultivators arrived. She moved her body and did a horizontal strike.

“[Crescent Moon]” *Bang!*

The crescent hit those three cultivators at point-blank, and they perished. She blocked the lightning cultivator spear again, sliding backward.

“[Crescent Moon].”

Her tail transformed into a sword as she slashed behind her, decapitating the darkness cultivator trying to sneak up on her.

Then she moved to the right, avoiding a sword aimed at her shoulder. She turned her head, dodging an arrow, and let herself fall to the left, avoiding another incoming sword.

Yasenia started doing a death dance. She dodged, parried, and used their attacks to move and drag her body around the battlefield. Her sword blocked the attacks, and her tail attacked her enemies. After two excruciating minutes, her body had gained new wounds, and her energy was diminishing rapidly. Of the 27 cultivators, 16 remained.

However, *SLASH!* One cultivator managed to cut Yasenia’s left arm off!

A little earlier, Cecile was running full speed towards Yasenia’s direction, following their connection. She was so worried that she didn’t even realize that she had left her teammates behind. Moreover, the stress of possibly losing Yasenia have made her forget that they were inside the formation.

Cecile used one of her skills, [Spatial vision], enhancing her vision as it extended a lot forward, even seeing through nearby objects.

She saw a battered Yasenia with a fatigued expression while doing a death dance, fighting against a group of cultivators.

Cecile’s heart hurt with each beat as she accelerated even more, ‘Come on, Cecile! You are close! Do not lose someone important to you again!’

When there were only ten kilometers left between them, she saw Yasenia’s arm cut off. A scream escaped her throat “YASENIA!”

Yasenia only had 5% of her energy left when the cultivator cut her arm off. She was about to continue fighting when she suddenly felt someone calling her. She dodged another incoming attack and looked in that direction. Seeing Cecile come, she smiled gently.

However, she saw Cecile’s face take a horrified expression, followed by a pain in her back and the appalling sound of bones breaking.

*CRRACK!*

Yasenia’s chest bones broke open, and the lightning cultivator’s spear that impaled her appeared in her vision.

Yasenia spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Cecile, this time with a forlorn smile. Cecile watched in horror how a hammer hit Yasenia’s face from the side, exploding it into fleshy bits, killing Yasenia on the spot.
