Chapter 903: Effects of Celestial Dragon Roar.

Nobody expected such a sudden attack. In the Distancia continent, even after the otherworlders arrived, soul arts had still been unknown and rare.

The sect that had the most soul arts was the Nine Pure Melody Sect, which focused on music. They managed to become a Nine Sect even when soul arts for Body Cultivators were not only lacking but weak. However, the effectiveness on body cultivators was strong enough to make them one of the strongest sects in the World.

What Yasenia just used was not a common soul art. Dragon roar was a skill that used her bloodline, dragon aura, and other auras, concentrating them into an expanding wave that targeted the soul. When the attack was mixed with an element, it would create different effects in the body as a consequence of damage to the soul.

The soul is a core part of a creature. Similar to when the body gets damaged enough, the soul leaves for the reincarnation cycle, and the person dies. If the soul gets damaged to a certain point, the body is unable to continue working and dies.

So, when Yasenia used Celestial Dragon Roar, the effects were devastating. The bluish wave expanded at an unavoidable speed and swallowed everyone, affecting only those Yasenia considered enemies. She was able to do this by combining the attack with her spiritual sense.

When the wave hit someone, the soul of that creature would create pressure to oppose the force trying to attack them.

Like how the body had its muscles, skin, bones, and other types of protection, the soul also had natural defenses.

However, in this example, Yasenia's dragon roar was like a hammer striking a glass structure. All those that were low-level Epoch Core and below were unable to resist, being instantly killed by the blue wave as their souls burst into flames, froze and shattered, got obliterated, or were snuffed out.

The terrifying attack sliced the numbers on the other side by almost half.

Moreover, those who weren't instantly killed all received different degrees of injury. Even peak-level Epoch Cores received noticeable damage, not to mention the rest.

Middle-level Epoch cores were incapacitated for a few seconds as their brain buzzed and their vision flickered. These moments of hesitation were enough for the Astral Sky Sect people to pick out many confused people and kill them.

Her dragon roar single-handled placed her enemies into an utterly desperate situation.

While usually it wouldn't have been this devastating, remember that Yasenia was being boosted by the [Celestial Pearl Assimilation]. Her current strength was several levels above her usual strength.

After roaring, Yasenia's throat was quite a mess. While her strength, bodily strength, and overall energy were boosted, that didn't mean that she was completely immune to attacks that forced her body to overwork itself.

To use [Celestial Dragon Roar] in her current enhanced form, Yasenia completely tore her vocal cords, leaving her unable to release more roars or even dragon breaths. Speaking would be a problem for a while as well.

She didn't have to worry, though. Her attack was enough to give her own side a significant advantage. Thanks to the staggering effect of having your own soul attacked, the maids managed to kill three peak-level Epoch Cores.

Seeing their companions of thousands of years falling to the ruthless weapons of the maids, even as millennial assassins, they couldn't help but become angry and agitated.

"Since you are so bent on destroying us, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Then, the peak-level Epoch Cores changed their targets and started attacking lower-level cultivators.

However, this was a mistake. Probably the biggest mistake on their part.

The reason they were surviving in the first place was that Yasenia had assigned seven half-step Dantian Spiritualization Realm maids to the battle that didn't involve them, while ten were assigned to fight them off.

Now that the peak levels had joined the entire battlefield, the seven maids who had been told to protect the weaker sect members had changed their targets to the peak levels.

In an instant, the 17 peak-level Epoch Cores went from fighting 10 Half-step Dantian Spiritualization Realm maids to fighting 17.

They completely lost their numerical advantage, and a harsh beating started.

Draheart's calm and low female voice reached her as well. But, the tone was rumbling as the sword's killing intent spilled outwardly. 'SLAUGHTER MY MISTRESS'S ENEMIES!'

Inside Yasenia's dantian, everything was spinning and releasing energy as best they could, using their best to feed Yasenia's strength beyond the limits.

Of course, such a situation couldn't last forever. The strain on her body was too much.

Hence, Soluna's franticness while fighting. The spirit understood that they were on a countdown, and they needed to settle everything as quickly as possible.

Looking sideways, she saw that although the spirits were fighting, they were clearly not going all out. She understood that they didn't want to get as involved. However, this annoyed her. 'While I know they don't want to be treated like bodyguards or weapons, is allying with Yasenia that bad?'

Still, she didn't say anything to them and continued assisting Yasenia to the best of her abilities.

The sounds of blood-curdling screams echoed around, and looking over, people saw some of the half-step maids killing the peak-level Epoch Cores.

With a few of them dead, it was like a snowball rolling down the slope. Those maids that managed to kill joined others, exponentially increasing their killing speed.

A few minutes later, the last peak-level Epoch Cores were slaughtered, and with them dead, the maids didn't have anything or anyone that could hold them back.

What followed was an absolute massacre.

The assassins knew that they were done, so they tried escaping. However, it was useless. With Clara's hunter skills, not one person escaped.

Yasenia didn't participate until the end of the battle. When she landed on the ground, all her auras dissipated, making her stagger and cough a few times.

While she was angered, she was not blinded by anger. She had been trying to finish the fight as soon as possible.

Soluna grabbed Yasenia's side, providing support, and she asked with her exotic double voice. "How are you feeling, Yasenia?"

The dragoness smiled and tried to speak, but a horrible and hoarse voice came out for a second, making her close her mouth. 'Well, it is better if I communicate mentally. I am doing well, Soluna. Don't worry.'

Soluna nodded quickly. "That's right, communicate mentally! No need to speak with your throat like that! Look, it's red and swollen."

Yasenia blinked and touched her neck, feeling that it was indeed swallowed. 'No wonder I felt like I couldn't breathe. My throat is shut.'

Soluna blinked a few times. "Is that dangerous?"

Yasenia shook her head. 'I can live without breathing. My skin acts as a secondary respiratory organ. I can also provide energy to my lungs in a direct manner. Well, speaking and using any skill related to my lungs is impossible, though.'

Andrea landed in front of Yasenia and was about to bow and ask for forgiveness, but Yasneia's tail poked Andrea's chest, making it impossible to bend forward. The dragoness smiled. 'Don't worry, darling. It was going to happen to someone, and with the way you were fighting, you were the prime target. I knew about it. That's why I could easily react.'

The dragoness smiled and walked forward, blinking prettily a few times. 'Moreover, even if I didn't react, darling had it in the bag, right? The people around would've protected you after dodging that attack, so there was no real danger.'

Andrea sighed and hugged her beautiful and voluptuous dragoness. "You still hurt your throat because of me."

The dragoness wanted to giggle, but the state her throat was in made her bite her lip in pain. 'Oh wow, it hurts. And, well, if you want to bear responsibility for the attack that I was going to do either way because of its effectiveness, sure~. Now, in exchange, pamper me! Even if you admit to not having any fault in it, you can't escape!'

Andrea laughed and quickly began pampering Yasenia, giving her kisses and whispering love words in her ear. This made the tail of the dragoness wag quickly, creating quite an endearing image.
