Chapter 530 - I Told You To Wear Something.
VIP box...
With the feed cut off due to the black dome, no one could see what was happening between the mysterious five and the newly arriving group with the threateningly looking black wearing trio.
However, Elsa soon received word that the remaining members of that newly arriving group were already out of the rundown district while the black-wearing trio was missing.
Elsa frowned at this discovery and instantly suspected foul play but even then without actual evidence as to what was happening inside the black dome, neither she nor anyone could interfere.
Kirill. watched the black dome with a light smile and recognized it as the attempt on his grandson's life that it was,
"You're on your own now, you sharp-tongued brat" he said and chuckled lightly.
A chuckle that both Devon and Isabella heard and were not put at ease.
...
The rundown district.
Within the black Dome...
The lady was thrown back from Melinda with her eyes widened.
Feeling the heat and force of Melinda's flames, she knew it was nothing she could scoff at or let her guard down with.
Melinda had not escaped totally scot-free either as she was thrown back as well but still managed to regain her balance and glared at her opponent.
The older looking man looked over at the lady,
"Dee, are you...?" He started to ask when suddenly, Hal was at his side, bent low and ready to release a blast of Cosmic Aurora.
The leader smirked and with speed befitting of his cultivation at the Cosmic Pagoda realm, he leaned back and avoided Hal's blast and even spun to kick Hal's side and send the blue-eyed young man smacking into a wall nearby.
However, it was not the leader who moved to complete what had been started... It was Tee.
He was wielding a long spike that he had imbued with cosmic energy and was giving off the feel of a pagoda rank artifact just like the two dangers Dee was wielding.
Alas, when he got to the wreckage and stabbed it into the abdomen of a prone Hal who was lying down within the wreckage with his eyes closed, Tee was surprised to see the spike go right through the body like it was not even there.
Tee's eyes widened just as the eyelids of the mirage on the ground flipped open to reveal dark eyes that were nothing like the Doxon blue that they knew and had seen Hal have.
The shadow mirage winked just as the real body suddenly struck out at Tee from behind the wall.
*Bam*
Despite his stronger cultivation, the quick-strike still caught Tee by surprise and had him sliding back and away from Hal whose eyes returned to their normal blue while his mirage on the ground vanished.
Even though Hal was no longer making use of the shadow demon bloodline to boost his speed, he still summoned his cosmic Armament and charged at Tee.
His eyes were narrowed in anger.
However, the anger was not really directed at the assassin trio or even at the ones who had sent them to attack him, his anger was directed at himself.
This was his fault.
He had been way too lenient and he needed to correct that mistake and show those Doxon bastards that he was not the type they should ever dare to mess with.
After this entrance exam was over, he would pay them a visit in Doxon...
As for this trio, they would be the first to face his wrath and suffer like the idiotic pawns they were.
So what if they were at the Cosmic Pagoda realm?
Adeline, Pierre, and Nicole watched the battle and felt the pressure coming off the body of both Tee and Dee and knew they had no place in that fight.
Especially with the case of the leader who was definitely not going to be weaker than the other two and had still not really gotten involved.
They wished to help.
If any of the two died or their devices went red, they would all fail and that was more than enough incentive for Adeline and Pierre to want to interfere but they were not sure how they could help.
Hal had already ordered Nicole telepathically not to interfere in the battle and while the urge to get in the thick of it was still there, she could only remain in place and watch as Melinda and Hal battled Tee and Dee while the leader watched on.
Speaking of Melinda and Dee,
"Why are you even fighting me. This has nothing to do with you" Dee said as she began spinning her daggers in her hands before gripping them tightly with their tip pointed at the ground.
Melinda took on a battle pose while holding her sword horizontally beside her face with the tip pointing at Dee,
"If you're here to kill my man, then it has everything to do with me" she said with a smirk and ignited her sword with the white flames of her flames ordinance.
Her words caused Adeline's eyes to widen slightly.
While she had suspected the relationship between the two was as such, she, unlike her brother, had not known for certain, and to hear Melinda so readily stake her claim made her react as she did.
"How cute. But you really should know you have no hope against us." Dee said and as though it further drive home her point, an illusionary pagoda with a single floor appeared behind her.
Melinda shrugged,
"We'll see" she said before glancing at her device which was either no longer working well or had stopped identifying Dee as a participant in the exam since she disabled her device.
After all, why would it not have already incapacitated her (Melinda) even though she very much wished to rip Dee's head off her shoulders?
Melinda smirked and looked towards Hal who had stopped going after Tee to release a blast of astral energy and use it to form a completely opaque Royal blue Dome to hide all that was happening inside the Dome from the sights of everyone not part of the battling five. (Hal, Melinda, and the trio)
The leader admired the Dome and asked with a sneer,
"A Dome within a Dome? Is there a reason for this other than to show off an impossibly large amount of Astral energy reserves?"
Both Tee and Dee had stopped attacking for now as Dee sniggered in mockery.
Hal was not bothered and instead replied,
"Just thought I would make this a fairer fight. Three on three" he said as he opened the portal to the Harem space.
Out of the portal walked a breathtakingly beautiful young lady who looked no older than nineteen.
Her curves were seductive.
Her skin was wonderfully creamy and her emerald green eyes seemed to sparkle as she looked around.
Her black hair extended to the middle of her back.
Her breasts were perfectly round and plump. They were perky and high on her chest.
Her perfectly shaped ass thrust out behind her, finding a wonderful balance between large and proportionately cute.
Sassy, for the first time in her life, stepped on normal ground on the two feet of her human form... and she did so without wearing any clothes.
Emerald green scales were covering her nipples.
There were also emerald green scales covering up her crotch.
Hal sighed,
"I told you to wear something" Hal said.
Ever since she got her human form, Hal had been trying to get Sassy into clothes but she never lasted seconds in them, before taking them off.
Telling Hal she was uncomfortable, and even though they shared a telepathic connection, Hal could not be sure if she was being completely truthful or not.
However, since she could cover herself up completely with her scales as opposed to this nude look of hers (only covering her nipples and crotch) Hal was more of the mind that she was developing into an exhibitionist.
Even as she looked all around as though she was seeing and breathing in the air in the outside world for the first time, Hal could taste a bit of enjoyment at the looks she was getting through their telepathic connection.
"Master, do you not like to see me like this?" She asked in her voice that she worked hard to make mimic an innocent tone.
Melinda decided to chime in,
"Yes, Hal. Doesn't your perverted mind simply revel in this nice view?" She asked
Hal rolled his eyes and decided not to dignify the annoying question with an answer.
Noting that during their reunion, Melinda had encouraged Sassy to be herself and was clearly supportive about the look and looking for an opportunity for a gang-up.
It was not that he actually cared that she loved showing off her body, it was that a part of him had actually been thinking she would be conservative.
Besides, he felt she could not always walk about naked, especially not if she wanted to spend more time outside the Harem space.
"What the hell is going in here?" the leader finally found the willpower to look away from Sassy's beautiful naked body and ask Hal with indignation.
Hal smiled,
"A fair fight. Besides who are you to stand there unbothered while Melinda and I fight those two. I'll face you from now on while Sassy takes over and puts Tee in his place" Hal said and as he spoke, Sassy walked confidently towards Tee.
Tee blast her with Cosmic energy but in the space of a second, before the blast actually made contact, Sassy reverted to her serpentine form and shrunk to the size that would allow her to evade Tee's senses.
Then barely a second later, she enlarged, still in her serpentine form, and smacked the silent man with her tail,
Sending him smacking into the Dome wall.
*Bam*
Then she returned to her human form and formed a toxic green bow complete with a Toxic Arrow that she let loose on Tee whose back was still against the Dome wall....
