Chapter 504 - When Foresight Fails. Part 2
With a speed that was deserving of a Three-star Cosmic saint, Makena suddenly appeared in mid-air with her saint energy wrapped around an unknown man (unknown to Dhruv) who was flying with the use of large Crimson Devil wings.
That's right, Dhruv saw the wings for what they were.
And how could he not when he felt the nefarious energies they were giving off.
He was not so misinformed to think Hal was a monster or simply someone with a connection to the Dystopian continent. No, this strange, smiling young man was someone with a Connection to the Devil.
Although to be fair, Devil worship remained something to be linked with the Dystopian continent's Devil tribe.
"Well, well, well. So this is the one-man reinforcement I foresaw. This is the one you have as a backup, Makena?
A child?" Dhruv was incredulous as he looked Hal up and down.
Nefarious as the energy Hal was oozing felt, it did not affect the Cosmic saint who was well above his level of influence.
As for the 'Child' comment, Hal was not offended,
To the old Cosmic saint, he truly was a child. That said, he did not come here to smile and take any and all derogatory comments.
Hal gave a little bow,
"Dhruv Dreg, we finally meet. I am Hal, the Sapphirine Prince and the newly crowned lord of the Silver moon sect. All that happens on this perversely hallowed ground is according to my whims. Every single member of the Silver moon sect is mine to do with as I please.
Which is also to say, I cannot and will not allow you to destroy or harm my property" He said with a natural smile while Makena nodded along by his side.
Drug looked from Hal to Makena and back to Hal before he asked,
"Is this some sort of joke?"
"No, it's not..." Hal said before waving towards the scene on the ground which was very peculiar and eyebrow-raising, "... See as my empowered ladies have taken the fight to your idiotic brutes"
Every single one of the ladies in the Silver moon sect was now giving off demonic energy vibes. Including Leona.
More than a hundred of them had now armed themselves with large Demonic Bows and were being directed on how to use it by Rita and all the other women who used to live in the Harem space.
Shooting arrows at many of their opponents and causing them to combust and be slowly reduced to mere husks of their former selves.
Of course, once many in their ranks had fallen victims to these attacks, the others took better precaution to protect themselves with Cosmic energy with which not all of them was successful.
As for those not shooting arrows, they had their cosmic Armaments out while imbuing themselves with lust flames that drastically increased their strength while also enhancing their reflexes and battle awareness and they were led into battle, not by Karmen, Olivia, and Lillian who were fighting alongside them, but by a battle-hungry Marla.
Marla summoned her very heavy-looking Cosmic Armament (Spear-like with a gigantic ball right underneath the spearhead. A gigantic ball perfect for bashing heads with) which she wielded with impressive ease.
Her body was now covered in a liquid-looking Armor that seemed to whirl around her form like a whirlpool; a manifestation of her Vetted mastery of the Dark Maelstrom Physique.
She tore through the ranks of opponents, overpowering them with strength that surpassed what she should have had at the mid-stage of the Cosmic Phenomenon realm which was the cultivation her released pressure said she had.
Marla grinned in enjoyment as she waved her hand and surrounded an opponent in a whirlpool of dark energy and used it to pull said opponent closer before swinging her Armament at his head and crushing it with the large ball of the weapon.
Still smiling and without looking behind her, she turned her weapon and used the spearhead to skewer an opponent who attempted to attack her from behind.
If the stab did not kill said opponent, then the connecting heaviness of the gigantic ball with his body, once the spearhead had gone into the said body, was sure to finish the job.
Karmen, now at the late stage of the Cosmic Phenomenon followed her lead with the brutal swinging of her Fiendish Armament, Executioner, as she reaped the blood essence of so many and stored it away to be used for further strengthening of her cultivation.
It was the same for Lillian and Olivia, although they were not making use of Executioner but were weaponizing their fiendish fog to stab their opponents and absorb every blood essence they had to offer.
None of the members of the Silver moon sect were put off by this brutality as they fought with a ferocity that matched and threatened to surpass that of these women.
Leona fought not too far away from her sister who was busy dealing with the Semi-saints in the ranks of Dhruv's army but she was not fighting alone as she was not the only Semi-saint in the Silver moon sect.
There were quite a few senior members in the sect who were also at the Semi-saint realm and together, with their strength enhanced with the Lust Demon Bloodline Hal had bestowed them and the use of their Ordinance (for those of them who had comprehended Ordinances), they were more than holding their own.
With her Cosmic Armament in one hand and charged with a Semi-saint attack, Corrina opened a black hole mid-battle with the exit right above her enemies to catch them by surprise by tossing the attack into the black hole in front of her and striking them from above.
Of course, that was not enough to defeat them since as Cosmic Semi-saints themselves, the men could adequately protect themselves.
One of them chuckled and turned towards Corrina to strike at her but a quick wave of her hand saw the Semi-saint whisked away by a black hole only to be deposited right in front of another Silver moon sect Semi-saint who slammed her palm against the man's chest and burned him up with lust flames which took him by surprise.
Leaving him nothing more than a husk as his essence was siphoned with the flames.
An outcome that greatly terrified the others.
Corrina smiled and closed her eyes for a second to truly tap into her Harnessing level of Comprehension with her Ordinance of Void.
When she opened her eyes, multiple black holes appeared all around the Semi-saints.
Despite their considerable strength, only a select few of them had comprehended ordinances and those few were quick to begin to attempt using their Ordinances against Corrina's scary void constructs.
The Black holes released impressive suction pressure that targeted only the men, many of whom found it impossible to fight against, and soon they were swallowed up.
However, they did not exit as the holes were not opened as gateways between one another but as gateways into a chaotic and unstable closed void.
Every opened black hole then imploded with a sickening aftereffect of instability in the very space they had appeared.
*Boommm!!!*
After the implosion, the Semi-saints were spat out with many of them having mangled body parts and all of them being way too weak to defend against the following onslaught by the Silver moon sect Semi-Saints.
Corrina frowned. If they had not been Semi-saints like her, she was sure she would have been able to kill them and not just mangle and weaken them.
She was even more annoyed when the few who had been able to wrench themselves away and escape getting sucked into the void quickly interfered and managed to buy enough time for their mangled companions to pull out mending pills and begin their healing process.
Soon, they were more than healthy enough to return to their feet, ready to continue.
Even now, they still outnumbered those of the Silver moon sect.
Their leader had 'seen' and warned them of the possibility of such a situation which was why they had brought along powerful mending pills in preparation.
However, even as Dhruv saw his foresight prove useful in this case, he was far from satisfied and how could he be satisfied when almost everything that was happening right now went against his foresighted preparations?
