She threw all the needles she had over her head in a certain pattern, and they released a huge heatwave. From the center, an apparition of a small sun could be seen which slowly expanded.
The arrows were burnt to dust and the hailstorm vaporized into nothing. In a few seconds, the golems and the pillars of wood also melted.
"Run"
Seeing this, the disciples who were attacking her from the ground above immediately backed away. They knew that Olivia had made a desperate move.
"BOOM"
A huge explosion took place and smoke billowed into the sky.
Leyla and Liam stopped their battle and glanced there as they were curious about the aftermath.
When the atmosphere was tense, everyone heard a sarcastic voice. "Senior Sister Olivia, are you alive?"
They gazed in the direction of that voice and saw Davion sitting cross-legged on the ground while smiling. It seemed like he was enjoying the show.
Leyla nearly coughed out blood from anger. She couldn't believe he could be so shameless.
"It's unbearable. Aren't they sweethearts?" She now began questioning whether what she had seen earlier was true or not. This was because how could one leave their partner like this?
"Damn, who is this fellow? I will definitely teach him a lesson later on." Liam felt annoyed. The same goes for the other disciples and Nora.
However, they didn't know that Davion's unintentional voice had managed to capture their attention away from Olivia. So, she took this opportunity and dashed towards them.
"Ahh.."
"She's here." One of the disciples who were nearby suddenly cried out as he saw a silhouette approaching him from the smoke. He immediately tried to cast a spell in response. But she was too fast for him to react.
"Pftt-"
He suffered a heavy blow in his stomach and was hurled a hundred meters away.
"This.." The other disciples became speechless as one could imagine the power contained in this attack.
When they came back to their senses, Olivia was already ahead of them.
"Bam..bam.."
She threw out punches after punches and in a couple of seconds another two disciples lay unconscious on the ground. Feeling this momentum, she wanted to take down a few more. But she became unsuccessful as spells came towards her one after another. Thus, she could only dodge and back away.
"Boom"
The spells landed on the ground and destroyed the terrain causing dust and debris to scatter everywhere.
"Olivia, I've underestimated you. You are really strong." Nora spoke when everything subsided.
"Are you scared?" Olivia mocked. She seemed to be in a perfect state except for some minor bruises and torn apart robes.
"She has hidden too deep." Liam was sweating from the sides. He knew that he would not be able to last this long against all of them.
"How long will it take for me to become that strong?" Leyla sighed. She was really impressed with her. As for Davion, he became a bit disappointed. This was because he wanted her to get beaten up and reveal her true self.
"Hehe, do you think that I would not be prepared for it?" Nora chuckled, and she took out a strange cube branded with various runes from her spirit ring.
"What is this?" Olivia questioned. She had never seen this kind of thing even in the Devil World.
"You will know soon," Nora replied and threw it to the ground.
The cube shook, and black fumes were released from it. Then it transformed into a warrior of at least 10 feet tall in the blink of an eye. It was carrying a shield in its left hand and a spear in its right.
"A puppet?" Olivia asked as she didn't sense any flesh and blood inside it.
"Humph, it's not a usual one. It can fight toe to toe with a Nascent Soul Cultivator," Nora had an evil smile on her face.
"What! I heard that these puppets are not even available in the core disciples' peak." Leyla exclaimed.
Olivia's expression changed a bit when she heard it. If she revealed her true cultivation base then it would not be a problem for her. However, it was not the right time to do so.
"Good. Finally, I like this woman." Davion muttered and slapped his thigh in excitement. Now, he was sure that Olivia would reveal her abilities.
"Hehe, there is nothing impossible for me," Nora proudly said. Then she slapped the back of the puppet.
Immediately its eyes glowed red and a dangerous aura was emitted from it. It was so strong that all the disciples found it difficult to stand.
"Go!" Nora ordered.
The puppet disappeared and appeared ahead of Olivia instantly. Afterward, it swung its shield towards her head. She sidestepped and barely managed to protect herself. However, the puppet kicked straight in her waist.
"Bang"
She couldn't react in time, and she was smashed into a nearby rock.
"Damn, I thought that it would use its spear. But it was cheeky enough to use its leg," She cursed.
"I'm bleeding too." She felt some blood on her lips.
"What can I do now?" She was racking her brains when she sensed something dangerous coming in her direction.
"No.." she looked ahead and saw that it was a spear.
Her body instinctively moved to the right but the spear still brushed past her skin and pinned her robes on the rock.
"Bam"
"Haha, what are you going to do now?" Seeing her stuck, Nora laughed out loud. If she tried to get out then her upper body would definitely get exposed infront of everyone.
"Maybe I can humiliate her." Nora had some evil thoughts in her mind.
"Halt!"
So, she stopped her puppet from attacking any further. It obeyed her and stood there as it was.
"How can I be satisfied if she died this easily?"
Then she slowly approached her, and nobody dared to speak in fear of disturbing her. They knew blood was going to spill here. But they didn't have the guts to stop her although they were from the same sect.
"Nora, stop!" Leyla couldn't take it anymore and was the one to break the silence. She came in between them and gazed at her coldly.
"Oh! My dear, Leyla. What do you want?" Nora looked at her with interest.
"You should put this to an end now. You have already beaten her," Leyla reasoned.
"Humph, how can I forget that humiliation?" Nora bellowed in anger and gazed at Liam and said, "Why didn't you finish her? Didn't I tell you to do it, dumb ass?"
Liam cracked his knuckles and was furious inside. How dare she disrespect him like this? Nonetheless, he didn't dare to talk back.
"I'm sorry, Junior Sister." He apologized and was about to make his move when Nora interrupted him.
"Do you think that I need your help currently?" She scoffed.
Liam nodded and didn't dare to look straight at her. Who knew if she ordered her puppet to beat him up?
"Leyla, you can forget about me and run. I'm leaving the Secret Realm." Olivia's voice was heard from behind.
Leyla turned back and saw her taking out the talisman distributed by the elder in the mission hall.
"Are you sure?" She felt dismayed since Olivia's journey was about to end this fast. This was also the case for her as she didn't think that she would be able to escape from here.
"Haha, trying to use that talisman?" Nora cut in again.
They had a bad premonition when they heard this.
"What do you mean?" Olivia was confused.
Nora didn't reply but took an old staff from her spirit ring. The moment it appeared, the sky shook and everyone in the secret realm experienced a tremendous pressure plummeting upon them. Not only that, the lightning that would fall frequently on the ground all stopped causing darkness everywhere.
"This is definitely a higher-grade spiritual artifact. Definitely a top one among that..." Olivia recognized it.
"What?" Davion, who had been carefree until now, finally became serious.
"You are quite knowledgeable," Nora praised her.
"However, you should not be able to use it with your current ability. Not only that, I can see the Secret Realm trying to reject this artifact." Olivia explained. She knew that these artifacts were not something that could be tolerated by this realm as they would definitely break the laws here.
And as she thought, the sky suddenly lit up and a huge sea of lightning appeared. Moreover, a vortex could be seen in the middle, and they could even feel something horrifying brewing from inside.
"Is a Thunder Tribulation coming?"
"Aren't they the tales mentioned in the legends?"
"Yeah, I thought that they were only made-up stories."
"But it seems like they might be true. I can feel it."
"The wrath of the heavens that no one can defy…"
The disciples gossiped with each other.
"Hehe, but I never planned to use it, Olivia," Nora smirked and pulled back her hands from the staff.
The staff didn't fall down but rather it automatically flew towards the sky.
