The enemy queen saw Daimon suddenly paying attention to Purplehaze while he had more or less ignored him so far and she smirked.
"You have started to feel it right, when one's nether reaches a certain purity, those related to the emotion with which it was created will start to be affected even if they aren't in contact with it", she said to then add.
"Talented or not, with the blessing of the Lord he would have gotten an above average nether anyway, but thanks to you he became a monster, I don't know what you did to him but you should be prepared to die in a horrible way!".
Sheilla glared at Sarah while she was speaking earlier, she had already scanned the masked youth to which the crazy girl was clinging to and was surprised and angered to find out that he was a mere early-stage mortal realm trash.
'How dare you to appeal to such a miserable mortal when my Lord is offering you a chance to serve him, I'll deliver his head as well as yourself to him!', she thought only to be brought back to the real world by Daimon's words.
"I doubt it", he limited to say not wanting to waste his breath.
Naturally the previous made the enemy queen grit her teeth, she was being looked down by not only Sarah but also by the masked youth.
"Why the hell have you not finished your dam fight!", she screamed in Purplehaze's direction, she felt her sanity crumbling down with each second she spent near those two.
Quite a few kilometers away at Lance's battlefield, a disastrous scene had taken over the previously though barren still habitable terrain, giant craters all over the place, pieces of debris here and there and a huge storm caused by the clash of mana and nether in the atmosphere.
In the middle of the deadly storm that was sweeping away everything within the battlefield, two figures fiercely clashed.
"Boooom!", Lance blocked Purplehaze's sword with his spear, four black streams of nether followed but were deflected by a strong whirlwind and next both parties retreated.
Lance rolled his spear a couple of times and then calmly stretched his body with a bored expression, despite him previously being pressured by Purplehaze's sudden increase in strength and the appearance of the secondary pair of nether arms, the more they clashed the harder it became for Purplehaze to get any advantage over him.
"Why, why haven't you died yet!", shouted Purplehaze, just right know he got Sheilla's complain delivered directly to his ears, which added to his already angered self.
"You might have gotten stronger but suppressing me without using any spells or martial arts is still out of your reach, so get serious at once so we can finish this", said Lance as he snorted.
Besides those black streams of nether, Purplehaze hasn't made use of his Manifestation to cast empowered spells which is the whole purpose of it, that's also why Sheilla was complaining, he wasn't using his strongest moves.
But it was for a good reason, if even as of current, he had to use them against Lance, someone that has lost against Daimon, then that meant that he... was still too weak to go against Daimon, in other words his change and power up would be mean nothing.
"Damn it, each and every single one of you, how dare you mock me!!!", with a wild scream that resembled that of an enraged beast, Purplehaze's Manifestation actually shrank down and was absorbed into his body.
"I was keeping this for that bastard, but whatever I'll get stronger after killing you, Dark Crawler Beast!", shouted Purplehaze, his body was then swallowed in a dark cloud which disappeared the next second leaving nothing behind.
Lance's pupils contracted like needles, a black blur appeared in front of him and slashed a sword from above with the idea of splitting him apart.
"Clang!", Lance's spear managed to block the attack, sword but two clawed hands aimed at his shoulders confusing him, why you ask, well, that's because there were already two pairs of nether arms charging energy attacks in his direction.
"Booooom!", an earth-shattering explosion swallowed everything in fifty meters around those two, small pieces of broken rocks rained all over the area and a cloud of dust was raised due to the impact but was dispersed by a brown and green light spear being swung.
The dust dispersed to reveal two figures, Lance whose body was covered in a bronze green light and Purplehaze whose state was rather strange, his body was completely covered in nether, besides the two pairs of extra arms that were made of nether, his legs and arms became those of a beast.
'A boosting spell of some sort and a really strong one but...', thought Lance as he saw Purplehaze's current state.
Purplehaze whose eyes were bloodshot, saw Lance finally entering his strongest state and grinned like a beast, earlier he forced Lance to use "Sweep" while he only attacked by charging without any extra spells or anything.
In other words, he got what he wanted by suppressing Lance without the need of any spells, besides the boosting one he was using as of current of course.
"Dark Charge!", with renewed confidence, Purplehaze used one of his newly created spells, nether gathered from the vicinity and integrated with the boosting spell was using, turning him into a dark flash that devastated everything in his way.
'Unfortunately, I can't use this for too long, but it's worth it to kill that bastard...', Purplehaze's inner monologue was stopped in cold when a giant mana spear appeared in front of him.
"What the... aghhhh!", at such a high speed, Purplehaze couldn't stop his spell so he only barely managed to move to his right, avoiding the attack but the spear still tore off his left arm all the way from his shoulder, alongside the extra two energy arms on that side of his body.
"Booom!", the spear continued its way and pierced a giant hole through a mountain a few hundreds of meters away from the area where they were fighting.
Sheilla felt a cold chill running down her back as she heard the masked youth casual's voice, feeling as if he could see through her, now imagine how she felt when the crazy girl mockingly added.
"Anyone with half a brain could have known that~".
The enemy queen gritted her teeth not understanding what Sarah meant, she couldn't be blamed though, Daimon hadn't fought yet, so how could she know that the mana used by the Risha sister's wings, was originally his.
Purplehaze didn't know it until a second ago either, he was originally going to follow up Sheilla's plan, but he felt a familiar energy firm coming from one of the other battlefields and since it belonged to the one, he hated the most, of course he chose to go there.
"Whatever, I don't believe a second bad matchup can save you, the mobility of those winged women is useless in a reduced and closed space, so the result will be the same as the one planned", said the enemy queen to which the crazy girl giggled as she said.
"That wasn't a bad matchup, it was just that idiot being too weak but this one is one hell of a nightmare matchup~", she said.
Listening to the crazy girl's mocking words, Sheilla had a bad premonition but she then inwardly shook her head.
'No way, I paid special attention to those winged bitches, this one uses the bow and fights at long distance but now is trapped inside the barrier, there is no space to maneuver in the sky and being forced to fight against that guy in close combat is a death sentence for her', she thought.
Back at Yvonne's battlefield, the night sparrow girl gave a disgusted glare to the guy who just interrupted her time to show off.
"You, you have his mana, die!", Purplehaze's eyes got muddy and the secondary pair of energy arms which was gone when the bishop died earlier, appeared once again, apparently, he used the fact that Yvonne had traces of Daimon's mana in her, to pump himself up again.
Yvonne saw the four black streams coming for her and her pretty dark feathered wings sprouted out of her back, as she raised into the sky to take some distance, though she couldn't go too high due to the barrier, it was still enough to dodge Purplehaze's attack.
"It's those wings, he gave them to you, then if I tear them off, he'll be angered right, he'll suffer, that should suffice to get back to my prime", rambled Purplehaze, he couldn't use Manifestation nor his boosting spell anymore since he had used most of his nether, he only recovered in the physical aspect after draining the rook piece.
With a "swoosh", Purplehaze used the long-distance teleportation granted to rook pieces, to appear behind Yvonne and punched with all his might towards her neck, or at least that was the idea, Yvi's black feathered wings shone in a pretty dark light which made Purplehaze lose his aim and fail his attack.
Yvonne then flashed downwards, not without taking out her bow and shooting a dark arrow at Purplehaze who shook his head to get rid of the dizziness caused by Yvonne's mana, the two pairs of energy arms caught the mana arrow and crushed it with ease.
"Petty tricks, you can't run forever, just one punch will be enough to get rid of you!", shouted Purplehaze as he prepared to rush towards Yvonne, only to see the night sparrow girl land on the ground a few dozens of meters away from him to then dispel her wings.
Yvonne's body glowed in a pretty purple light for a second as she circulated Daimon's mana throughout her whole body instead of using her wings, similar to what Leslie did earlier, to then glare at Purplehaze with contempt.
The combination of being looked down and the traces of Daimon mana he perceived from Yvonne, made Purplehaze's blood boil, but at the same time he felt his nether recovering at a faster ratio than before.
'Stupid bitch, I'll crush your skull in front of that guy', he thought as he charged towards Yvonne.
"Booom!", the ground cracked under Purplehaze's pressure, unfortunately his attack was easily dodged by Yvonne elegantly moving to the side, the four energy arms also launched their nether streams but didn't land on the night sparrow girl who simply made a few twirls like a feather dragged by the wind.
Up in the sky, Daimon couldn't help but be surprised by Yvonne, she was using the "Phoenix Dance" exclusive of Leslie's family branch, or more accurately it was a revised version of it, which reduced the explosive and energetic rhythm used by Leslie and instead increased efficiency.
'Despite how easy she seems to be dodging that guy's attacks, the concentration needed to pull that off is quite high, she isn't losing in terms of battle sense when compared to a knight', thought Daimon as he saw Yvi fluttering around taking the less amount of moves and using as small amounts of mana as possible to keep up with Purplheaze's fierce barrage of attacks.
Let's not forget that she is still a Star ranked mage who is fighting against a middle stage Mage Lord that could put pressure on Lance in close combat, at least to a certain extent.
Purplehaze saw his attacks not landed as was reminded of his previous battle with Lance, he gritted his teeth and then shouted.
"Stop running you, slippery bitch!", Yvonne who was happily enjoying the feeling of Daimon paying all his attention to her display of improved skills, frowned, she stopped in cold, which gave Purplehaze an opening for him to land his attack.
"Finally go die!", he forgot about energy attacks and focused everything into his right fist, cladding it with mana as he punched towards Yvonne's face.
"Boooom!", the fist landed against something and made the ground explode due to the impact, nether was dispersed in every direction resulting in a dark cloud that dispersed a second later to reveal an Yvonne who was standing there with her right arm extended in front of her.
Her pretty index finger was extended frontwards, blocking Purplehaze's punch head on, making the latter feel as if his brain had stopped working.
"You are merely a target for me to display my improvement in front of him, so... know your place", Yvonne's nail painted black and the next thing that happened was a loud lung-breaking scream, being forced out of Purplehaze's mouth.
"Aghhhhh!".
