|Blood Concept: Blood fusion! |
After she whispered these words while dropping a droplet of golden blood on the three cores of the half-fused spiritual flames, the drop of blood turned into a small golden cocoon that wrapped the three pearls.
'... Will she really succeed?! The creation of this cocoon around them is such an ingenious idea that I myself am surprised not to have thought about it instead. Not only does it prevent the three cores from having air, but it forces them to prioritize their survival by strengthening each other to survive. Because no matter the power of a flame, it is doomed to go out if it lacks air.' Serena stutters these words with a sudden awareness.
'But that's not all. As I said, a fire without air is doomed to go out. But during this time, thanks to the primordial blood cocoon, they can suck vital energy into the blood to regenerate theirs. But only as they do not know that the cocoon is a trap intended to force them not only to cooperate with each other to survive but they will also to try to absorb more vital energy than their pairs. It's incredible!
-This girl not only uses their primitive instincts to trap them and force them to go in the path she has traced them, but she also uses the blood cocoon to facilitate their fusions!
-Such analysis and such a complex ability to manipulate the concept of blood; I have the impression of seeing Sabrina herself at work. Could it be that she possessed their bodies after their mergers? Since the merger of these three, this girl in front of me speaks like my sister, who constantly provokes me to see my limits. So if I'm right, this boring sister must be behind all that!
The more Serena witnessed the incredulous scene in front of her, the crazier her thoughts became as she tried to find explanations.
"?!!"
But barely ten more minutes, the golden cocoon began to have tiny cracks and suddenly released a wave of energy and unbearable heat that could not leave Serena indifferent.
But at that moment, Helene bit her thumb and scribbled runes on the cocoon with her blood as an anchor.
At a glance, Serena instantly knew her intentions by interpreting the runes that Helene was drawing.
'Contraction runes? To make such an unfated decision and try to establish an enslaver/enslaved person contract with a flame that is not alive can only mean one thing; the flames may now have become alive!? Otherwise, it's impossible to establish this kind of contract with a non-living creature.'
~Heavenly flames, just like magical beasts, spiritual plants, etc., succeed in acquiring a clean consciousness thanks to the magical energy that surrounds them and that they last hundreds or even thousands of years; it is also mentioned in some older books, which could be preserved after the collapse of the reign of the supreme goddess, that the flames once had consciousness after living millennia in the volcanoes.
At this glorious time, when energy was a thousand times richer and more intense than now, it wasn't only plants and flames that had a consciousness. Still, even weapons (like primordial weapons), spiritual stones, and other cultivation resources had consciousness and engaged in cannibalistic battles to strengthen their powers by attacking their pairs and cultivators.
Not to mention, it is even mentioned that the core of the original planet also had consciousness and a humanoid body! But because of the energy dispersed and becoming a hundred times weaker, such creatures have become legends that no longer even deserve their place in children's fairy tales. ~
'Who would have thought that this could be possible? The concept of blood really deserves its first place among the other concepts. And despite the fact that this girl uses it, she still manages to do such great exploits with it. What can I accomplish with such powers at my entire disposal? I'm sure I could at least have reached the same level as the monarchs. Sigh, but it's such a waste that it was Sabrina who inherited this concept.
-For a few millennia, she has become carefree and disinterested in all her ambitions and focuses only on 'something', I don't know what, which she discovered by chance during one of her walks. Since that day, she has locked herself in her apartments, ignoring everyone and her duties as head of the Punishers. She was so obsessed with this 'thing' that she locked herself up with her all this time for her so-called research. At first, I thought she was secretly cultivating to increase her rank, but I was wrong. It was fair--!!
While wholly immersed in her thoughts, she woke up suddenly, feeling the fiery heat suddenly turn into an icy cold that penetrated her bones!
And when she looked around, she realized that the interior of her dome had become an arctic place entirely covered with layers of thick ice.
But while she was daydreaming, she suddenly noticed a giant ice pillar that looked more like an iceberg floating in front of her.
'What is--?!
Her words got stuck in her throat when she noticed Helene's silhouette on the ice rock above her.
In the first place, she did not understand why the celestial flames that Helene was supposed to create suddenly turned into ice.
The most surprising and strangest thing for her was to learn that Helene was able to transform the battlefield into an Arctic area during the short absence she had had.
But why had she created a large-scale spell in such a short time?
'For her to transform an area that had a heat that could even hurt me into such a cold area, she must have a phenomenal amount of energy!' She said to herself while looking at Helene, who had also shown the two pairs of Ashia's draconic wings on her back.
'Now, I'm sure this girl has really merged with her two teammates! But more importantly, where have the cores of the spiritual flames gone? Did she fail in the process?' The more she asked herself, the more confused she became.
And finally, she used her gravitational magic to reverse natural laws and flew to Helene on her iceberg.
"So you finally failed, am I wrong?" She asked with a frown.
But instead of answering her question, Helene snaps her fingers while keeping her mysterious smile on her lips.
-Crackkkkk!!!!
The next moment, the Iceberg under their feet gradually cracked before breaking into pieces, revealing a white pearl that gave off an icy cold, even freezing Serena's dome in the second after.
"?! Wait, this core... it's...!!" She stammered as if the neurons in her brain had just undergone a lightning discharge.
"Fufu~ I love to see this expression on your face. Even if I can merge the cores of spiritual flames to create a celestial flame, I, unfortunately, cannot create a high-level celestial flame with my current level. But even if the flame of icy frost is the weakest among celestials, and mine is too weak compared to a real celestial flame of icy frost, it is more than enough to seal you for one or two hours!"
While murmuring these words mockingly, Helene stretched out her palm and the Arctic white pearl advanced towards her before landing in her palm.
"I-impossible! How can you endure such icy energy without being--!
'I understand! It's because of the runes of contractions that she had rather written on the cocoon! Otherwise, she will be transformed into an ice statue at the moment by this heavenly flame core!'
Serena continued the rest of her sentence in her thoughts after discovering the reason for Helene's extreme resistance to this icy cold that forced her to erect a protective barrier around her body, to minimize the impact of the cold on her body.
'It's a good thing that she focuses only on the core of celestial frost. That will allow me to locate my master more easily and reach him without problems.' Helene murmured in her thoughts while keeping her usual expression so as not to arouse too much suspicion.
*Are you my master?*
At the same time, when Helene came into contact with the Arctic pearl, she heard the latter's childish voice resonate in her head.
And as Serena was a primordial rank, even if she could not hear their conversations, she could feel their spiritual link. Which made her sure that the Arctic pearl, as Helene had just announced, had an awareness, even if it was at a childish level!
"Hehe, if it's not me, then who do you want it to be?" Helene asks with a satisfying smile.
*...*
"Are you disappointed?"
*N-no! I have faith in my master, who is the person who helped me reach the celestial rank. Even if my memories are still blurred, I still feel the aura of master Nicco in you.*
"Oh? So it was Nicco's spiritual flame that had dominated that of Helene and Ashia's? It's interesting." After this brief conversation on their part, Helene then looked at Serena.
"Now that I have satisfied your curiosity, shall we stop here, or do you want to continue?" She asked Serena, who always seemed in her daydream.
"Huh? As things become more and more interesting?" The latter calmly gave this answer with daring eyes.
"Hehe~ I was expecting this answer. What you want is to test my limits. Am I wrong?"
"All in all, that was my goal from the beginning. But now I realize that the more I discover your powers, the more I become obsessed with my curiosity to know more." As she calmly uttered these words, two golden wings appeared behind her back that resembled Sylvia's, apart from their gold colors instead of white.
Seeing these wings that Serena had just manifested, Helene instinctively guessed that Serena now intended to make full use of her primordial powers.
But she didn't show up the slightest weakness against her.
"Hah, have you ever been told that curiosity is a bad defect? Although, even if you are so curious about me, is it necessary for you to use your primordial shape to fight against a simple mortal?"
"A simple mortal? Haha~ I never thought you could make such jokes in such a situation. In short, I now understand the meaning of your words when you said that you were none of the three. But on the other hand, even if you look like my sister, you are not her either; more precisely, you are like a manifestation of her memories."
Hearing Serena's statement, Helene frowned, but she immediately regained her previous calm.
"A manifestation of what? Okay, since you're a madwoman, it's not surprising to hear such nonsense from you. But what I mean is if we continue the battle, this planet will not come out unscathed. Not to mention the living beings who live there, even the so-called monster you had sealed, would risk freeing itself; do you really want it to happen just for such a futile reason?"
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "Haha, for futile reasons, do you say? If it were before, I would have nodded without problem; but now, it's impossible to believe such words, especially from the three of you!"
Hearing Serena's claims that seemed more motivated than ever, Helene soberly shrugged and showed Ashia's primordial spear.
"Well, let's start the third round." She says while ordering the little pearl to merge with her body.
'Another minute and everything will be ready. I hope nothing unfortunate will happen to my master during this time.' She continued in her thoughts while impregnating her blue spear with an icy aura that transformed it into an Arctic white spear with layers of ice on its tip.
'She's coming!' She then murmured as she prepared to face Serena with everything she had.
-Whooosh!!
With a simple wings flap, Serena appeared in front of her and attacked her with her sword that whistled straight toward her neck!
And unlike before, Helene did not try to counter her attack. Instead, her body flashes after using her draconic wings and appears two hundred meters from Serena, leaving only her remanent image that was pierced in the throat by Serena's sword.
But despite being able to avoid Serena's attack narrowly, she was not out of danger.
!!
But just at that moment, she heard Serena murmur...
|Concept: No one can escape her destiny|
-Ahck!!
Almost instantly, Helene felt her throat pierced by Serena's sword; although the latter did not attack her head-on a second time and was two hundred meters from her!
'Fucking shit! What fucking skill is it again?!' She shouts these words with disbelieving eyes while squeezing the wound of her throat to prevent bleeding while waiting for it to regenerate.
Without understanding what Serena had just done, she moved further away from her up to two five hundred meters and simultaneously created an Ice Crystal around her.
But unlike other times, Serena didn't give her time.
She lifted her sword again and made a vertical slash while murmuring in the primordial language, the same sentence as before.
-Slash!!
The next moment, Helene felt her right arm detach from her shoulder at the same time that one of Serena's coins broke into pieces after the mysterious cutting edge she had made from a long distance!
