Chapter 309 Ashia Vs. Serena.

While Alvine's team was frozen on the spot, above them was a demoness girl with a pointed horn on the left temple and slightly pointed ears.

But thanks to the silver-plated white barrier around her, regardless of the sharp perception of Alvine or his troops, none of them could notice her presence, even though she followed them from the beginning.

"So this guy managed to escape from the clutches of Randolph, Huh? No wonder he was so enraged the last time I met him. Sigh, Randolph was right; this man is not only protected by my beloved little sister but also by a stranger who is no less weak than monarchs?!

-Tsk, Tsk, I would have loved to play with him a little more. But because of this stranger who does not fear these bastards of the monarchs, in addition to the fact that I promised this little Brave to stay out of their wars, I am bored to die now.

-But fortunately, who would have thought that this freak would dare to venture into a sealed area? Ah~, things look interesting. As expected of my sister, she did not hesitate to send her people directly to their graves. Fufu~, she, without even knowing the presence of the five towers on this planet, dared to be so reckless by sending them to their deaths? Let's hope this unknown expert doesn't take me responsible for the death of one of this bastard's clones.

After murmuring these words for herself, she continued to look at Alvine and his little squad, tied by golden chains of aura.

Having their limited perceptions and all their senses sealed, except their sense of touch, Alvine and the others felt the threat next to them.

But just when Alvine wanted to use his mana to get rid of chains, his expression instantly darkened.

'Fucking stele! It absorbs our magical energy to restore its own!' He swore in his mind after noticing this fact.

*Pay attention to yourselves; the words of the stele were nothing more than a trap. This bastard just wanted to push us to activate the stele that absorbs our energy if we try to debate. Don't do anything reckless; save your strength!* He immediately ordered.

'If my hypotheses are right, this stele will react soon. In the worst case, it will move on to the second stage of its plan. Either it will force us to use our magical energy to defend ourselves against the bloody mist, and it will take this opportunity to absorb more of our magical energy, or it will free us because of its inability to absorb more magical energies!' He said to Himself, stopping to resist and waiting patiently.

For their part, they obeyed Alvine's orders, even if it did not make sense, since by doing so, they would be entirely exposed to any possible attack from outside!

-Rumble, rumble, rumble!!

-!

But after seconds of silence, the earth under their feet began to tremble fiercely, followed by the strange reaction of the stele that gradually sank into the ground, taking with it Alvine and the four other generals.

But for some reason, Ashia was left behind!

*Ashia, do everything you can to join us. You are the only one to open the coffin if I rely on the information provided by Sabri--

Alvine urgently ordered before he was completely buried underground with the other generals!

"..."

"...I hope it's a joke." She insidiously whispered after a minute of silence, noticing that the mana chains had not intended to let go of her.

Seeing the situation threaten her master, she tried to break mana chains, but no matter the power she used, she could not get rid of the obstructions chains that prevented her from moving!

"Fufu~, Little sister, do you want to join your master?" simultaneously, Serena's mocking voice resounded above her!

Strangely, even if Ashia had her four senses sealed, she could still clearly hear Serena's words.

"So you're the one who's responsible for all this? What do you plan to do?!" She asked coldly with her eyes closed.

But the next moment, she tried to leap back, noticing Serena approaching her in a simple blink of an eye.

"Me? So what did I do? It's not my fault if you want to enter the prison of a creature more powerful than a mana beast that I had sealed. Sigh, as you seemed curious about the reasons that led me to create this planet, I can reveal it to you if you feel the need." She said, sitting on the tip of the stele that was on the surface.

"..."

"But on one condition." She continued, seeing Ashia silent.

"..."

"I want to know the identity of the person who protects your master in secret. Reveal his name to me, and I will tell you how to save your master from certain death." She said with a mischievous smile.

"Even if you have a special relationship with Lady Rina, you will always remain a traitor who had abandoned her own."

"What want you tell me by notifying me this?" She asked, slightly frowning.

"It's simple to understand. I would never trust you to ally with someone so untrustworthy!" She said, taking out a long blue spear with a giant blade at the end of its stem in her space ring.

And as soon as she grabs this spear, the mana chains break around her body, and she instantly regains her four other sealed senses and magical perception.

"What do you plan to do, With this spear?" Serena asked coldly.

"My mistress gave me only two conditions to use my powers fully. The first is when the master is in danger of death, and the second is when one of you, the primordials or the ancient beasts, targets me. And at the moment, you are not only threatening me, but you also intend to kill my master indirectly in this mysterious vestige; these conditions are more than enough for me to face you with everything I have!" She said, pointing her spear at Serena.

"..."

After a brief silence, Serena shook her head with bland air.

"Sigh, even if you have a primordial weapon, you are nothing more than a biased existence with neither destiny nor past nor future. An unimportant existence whose life depends on my sister. But, I doubt that this is your only asset; otherwise, you will not have as much confidence in your eyes. In short, even if I am curious about the asset you are hiding, because of my promise not to interfere in your war, I cannot afford to hurt an important asset from the opposing side. Otherwise, it will not become interesting."

She said, naturally approaching Ashia, who gradually became suspicious.

"You say you don't intend to get involved in our business? So what is the reason for your presence here?"

"Ah, it's because of your lord's reckless decision. By entering this area, they will all be dead if they ever reach the center of the area!

-As I had just said, the reason I created this planet is only to seal an entity more terrifying than a mana beast. You know that mana beasts have powers competing with ancient beasts, but what makes them dangerous is their ability to use primordial energy.

-But you, lots of piles of idiots and ignorant people, guided only by their avarice, gather to want to steal the treasures of the former guardian of this entity?"

"..."

Seeing her silence, Serena continued to explain the reason for her appearance.

​ "What do you think I should do? Should I sit, arms crossed, and act as if nothing had happened? Even if I don't know how this bastard could have forced the passage--??

-Clang!!

"Can I know what you're playing?" She frowns while stopping Ashia's spear with a protective barrier that appears between Ashia's spear and her forehead.

"You are strong, it's a fact, and you will surely be able to defeat me if a battle breaks out between us. But if you still dare to insult my master, there will be no more conversation between us, for sure!" She replied with fierce eyes.

"Fufu~, it's fun to hear these words from a doll without a destiny. Ahhah~, how pathetic it is; um, it's so pathetic that it becomes funny." She said in sarcasm, looking straight into Ashia's eyes.

"Oh? Pathetic, do you say? So if I am a doll without destiny or a fractured existence, what about you, dear queen of destiny?"

-Frown.

Even seeing Serena's frown, she continued. "You are also the creation of others, just like me; the only difference is the existence that created us. You and the other primordial ones may be powerful, but you remain the goddess's creation. Just like the people you have given life to on this planet, it is also thanks to someone that you are alive. What will the goddess think if she sees such arrogance from one of her creatures? Will she look at you with admiration? Or with fun?"

-!

Almost after finishing her sarcastic words, she moved away from Serena, noticing the latter's aura changing its nature.

But she didn't hold back either. Her horns gained thirty centimeters more while a scale blue armor replaced her divine armor.

"Ho? I see. Yes, I now understand where such confidence comes in front of me." Serena replied with a funny smile, seeing the sudden transformation of Ashia, who had also grown two huge pairs of dragon wings on her back.

But Serena's eyes shone with surprise when she noticed that Ashia had not only a primordial weapon but also a set of armor of the same rank!

But what made her even more incredulous was to see Ashia possess the primordial aura! Even if it was a small amount, it was more than enough to defeat mana beasts without a problem!

"Haha!! Dear sister, what exactly are you doing with these three clones in your corner?! Not only do they own your primordial essence, but this one is particularly more interesting, even possessing a primordial energy while keeping her consciousness! This discovery is more interesting than all the research I have done so far! It's--

"If you intend to delirium again, then have fun, but I don't have time to participate in your madness," Ashia replied in a demonic and sharp voice that disturbed the surrounding magical energy by simply uttering these words.

After that, she turned to the stele that had only a tiny exposed end.

"--Ah! Now that you've shown me something too interesting, I need to know more!" She said while instantly piercing Ashia with her wind spear.

(Shield of the flames of hell!)

Before her sword reached Ashia, the latter whispered these words in an unknown language, invoking dark hell flames around her to protect herself from Serena's attack.

-wooooh!!

Instantly, her flames burn Serena's wind spear!

"Haha!! In addition to all this, you even have one of the lower celestial flames and can use the language of ancient dragons?! Definitely, this sister will never stop surprising me!" She cried out these words like a madwoman; because of her excitation.

"What exactly is your problem?!"

"Huh? Isn't it normal for me to want to satisfy my curiosity? Um, you were right; I was really an idiot when calling you a clone. You are definitely a masterpiece! Such a mysterious entity, and never created! So I beg you to forgive me and show me all you have!"

Hearing these words and seeing her purple pupils shine with endless madness, Ashia instantly understood that her situation could not be worse than that.

"As I expected, you're a madwoman." She murmured, moving away from Serena.

"Did you treat me crazy? Good, good, very good! Now I have more reason to have fun with you."

Even if her words seemed calm, the madness in her purple eyes was enough to attest to her anger!

And the next moment, the small coin of two piles, one side of which was silvery white while the other was a dark black, appeared in her hand.

Following this, she snaps her fingers, creating a multilayer barrier that extends a kilometer around them.

"Little sister, show me that you are capable!" She said after completing her preparations.

"Tsk! N'oublie pas ta parole, tu disais ne pas avoir l'intention de t'impliquer dans notre guerre, alors ne vous en mêlez pas. De mon côté j'ai mieux à faire que de perdre mon temps dans un combat dénué de sens." Elle rétorqua en tournant le dos pour creuser sous terre et rejoindre les autres.

'Now, I can clearly see the underground temple that probably has--!

-boom!!

Before Ashia finished her thoughts, Serena punched her back, making her fly several hundred meters, destroying all the trees and rocks on her way because of the strength Serena had put into her slap.

"If you don't want to waste more time, so, fight with all your strength! I want to see what makes you so confident in front of me!"
