Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 333 - Reclaiming The Kingdom

Lemis is still looking for Tina, due to how Lemis lacks the detection magic in which his brother specializes, finding Tina was a chore for her. As for Tina, she is currently crying over the fact that the Heart of the Primordial Sea God did not grant her wish nor show any signs that it is indeed functioning. Her last bit of hope to defeat Lemis is flushed to the drain.

But she didn't just give right there in despair. If the last glimmer of hope is gone, then that only means she didn't need it.

"Screw this. If the gods have no intention to help me, then screw them and I will do it on my own instead!"

Holding the rapier in her hands, she returned to where Lemis is and saw that the demon is currently looking for her.

"Hey, you are looking for me right?" Without anything to lose anymore, Tina is now gutsy to Lemis who is now irritated by her lifeless eyes and a response that is so boring anyone would not care hearing what she wanted to say.

"You finally appeared, you piece of sh*t... Now come here and die. I don't know how you managed to heal up your wound that I made earlier but I will make sure to make a bigger wound on that stomach of yours!"

"..." Tina did not respond but she just stares at Lemis with a lifeless, cold stare.

Lemis attacks with her claws like usual but instead of being pierced, Tina just blocked it with her rapier's thin blades. Lemis tries to do it again but Tina does it once again that she frowned seeing what is happening.

Tina then move towards her and attacked the demon without saying a word. This terrifies the demon as she realizes that the insect person she is facing right now seems to have given up in life and has already been fighting without care. For Lemis, an enemy without the fear of dying is the most terrifying enemy as they will not hesitate to jump into action despite knowing the danger. She knows that these kinds of people can unleash indescribable strength, capable of killing enemies in one go.

"Dammit! Just die already! Why won't you go down and just die?!"

Tina didn't respond and continued to assault Lemis with her rapier strikes. Lemis is not really proficient in close combat and although she can do close combat, she is not capable of doing most of the combat in melee. She likes to do it in range as this will make everything quite dire and dangerous for her enemies. However, her only enemy is one person and that person no longer cares and with her attitude and her expressions seem to have been lost, she is now grasping the attacks much easier and unconsciously becoming strong.

"But that doesn't make sense! Even if you got too serious, you won't be getting this strong so easily! What is happening?! This shouldn't be the case since you don't have the mark!" Lemis is now desperate and decided to unleash a strong blast of dark power, sending Tina flying to the wall, knocking a huge block of debris that fell down to Tina the moment she crash into the walls.

Lemis sighed in relief when she knocked out Tina from battle and thought that she is no longer conscious only to see her stand up from the fallen debris with still her passive look on her face. She was still staggering when Tina just assaulted her all of a sudden with a quick barrage of rapier strikes. She tried blocking but Tina's attacks suddenly gained some power.

The attacks are getting faster and Lemis realized that her wounds are no longer healing as fast she can. She can confidently fight since she knows she will rapidly heal her wounds but for some unknown reason, she is getting slower and weaker. She even realized her senses and movements are getting dull and bad all of a sudden. That's when she realized it.

"Insect Poison?!"

She didn't have much care about the attacks of Tina but she soon understood it late that her attacks are no longer weak and contain no power because all of her attacks have poison and every time Tina pierce her body with the rapier, poison seeps into her veins. Not only that but strength has already been amplified that Lemis who rarely feel pain due to her innate [Dulling Pain Organ] ability, can even feel the amount of power every thrust the rapier does to her skin and flesh. Her realization came too late when the poison already seeps too deep into her body already.

"Impossible! Only the Insect People with marks are capable of using the Insect Poison! You don't have the mark! Why?!" Lemis tried to dodge but she meet the legs of Tina who kicked in advance, anticipating her escape.

That's when Lemis noticed Tina's eyes. It's not that it's merely blank, it was glowing white. Most of the time, Insect People has clear brown eyes, but for those who bear the royal blood, once they awaken, their eyes will turn to blank white, with the only greyish color of the pupils that that can be barely noticed due to how it blends in with the blank colors of the eyeballs. However, that alone is enough to see that Tina who never bore any mark that allows her to awaken her latent power, has awakened her true power.

Although Tina hasn't yet unleashed her true form and true power just yet, unleashing attacks with Insect Poison is no longer a joke. Insect Poisons can easily kill enemies if they don't have enough innate resistance to poisons like Lemis do.

As much as Lemis tried to think how the heck she awakened, it doesn't change the fact that Tina is now an absolute threat that will now be capable of killing her if she didn't carefully lay out her next move.

Lemis decided that even though she has awakened, it doesn't change much that Tina is still not capable of unleashing her true powers just yet.

Despite being weakened, she unleashed her dark abilities and awakened her true form. She no longer resembles the sister of Tina, but her normal face as a demon.

"Ha! You might have awakened but a newly awakened Insect will still remain an insect! DIE!"

She snaps her fingers, chains appeared on the ground, and tied up Tina before she launched [Dark Corroding Ball] to her. A skill capable of melting metals and concrete like a piece of plastic.

"HAHAHAHAHA! In the end, all of you are just fragile beings! Not capable of seeing the true greatness of power we demons have! You should have died completely and quietly in Sandurk!"

However, Lemis's celebration was cut short when the smoke cleared up from the blast site and saw that a cocoon has appeared chained by her chains. She tried to use her chains to tighten its grip, only to realize that it only maintained its form and has been corroded long before she pulled it.

Gritting her teeth, knowing what the cocoon contains, Lemis blast it continuously with her [Dark Corroding Ball] without stopping.

"Ha! Even if your shell is tough enough to handle the first power, there is no way it can survive multiple blasts! DIE!"

Explosions keep shaking the castle but Lemis did not care. All she cared is that the thing inside the cocoon should melt and die.

However, she was stupefied when one of her [Dark Corroding Ball] that should have exploded to the cocoon was reflected and it almost hit her, as it passed through her. Lemis was stunned as the [Dark Corroding Ball] is a skill that has no way of being reflected like normal magic as it can instantly affect the surroundings in one hit and direct contact.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Loud cracking sounds echoed inside the halls of the room. Lemis is getting desperate when she realized her strongest attacks are not working.

"Damn it! Brother, why did you die so early?! Without you here, my abilities are just mediocre at best and I am poisoned now! Why is this happening to me?!"

"Perhaps...it was due to how high you think your capabilities are."

A cold mature voice resounded in the surroundings. It was like it echoed but it wasn't like that too. Lemis grit her teeth as she prepares to attack when she suddenly fell to the ground on her knees and felt weak all of a sudden. She can't even proceed to lift it up. She tried to speak but it seems like it has gone frozen and her body seemed to have stopped functioning properly.

"You have reigned too long and have already gotten a fair share of ruling this kingdom. It's time to reclaim the kingdom from the demon's clutches... Demons like you should have never existed in the first place..."

SNAP!

Before Lemis can understand the situation, she saw her body kneeling on the ground before she lost her consciousness and her vision has been stolen by the darkness.
