The rise of the pervert primordial-Chapter 685: The fight for the main distortion (part 13)
Seeing the state in which his clan members were, the leading Blazeheart elder snorted as the gazed at Mariana to then say.
"I get that it's the embarrassing for the "mighty" members of the Mountain Amber family to be bested by someone from a middle ranked Stellar System, but why are you venting out your anger on your teammates, especially when they are not subordinated to you?".
Mariana who was already pissed off at the fact that she had to burn a bit of her vitality to keep herself in her prime, after the Blazeheart elders made it so that she couldn't dispel her spirit technique, which resulted in Camila destroying it, causing backlash that would have weakened her until it was treated, nearly lost it after listening to the leading Blazeheart elder's words.
"It's because of those three idiots that I had to resort to the regeneration property of the Mountain Amber linage, so how am I not allowed to reprimand them when my "teammates" are the ones causing me more damage than the enemy!", she shouted.
Mariana was so angry that she felt the urge to pummel the three Blazeheart elders to death with her fists, however right now wasn't the time for infighting, on the other hand she as a proud member of the Mountain Amber family couldn't stand the fact that the other party's leader had started to get carried away.
"Poor skills in the secondary path, horrible coordination and flaws in the main path, that's why you guys deteriorated to a second-tier force, what kid of fools are worse as allies than as enemies", she disdainfully said.
Mariana's words seemed to have hit a sore spot for the Blazeheart elders, whose bodies which were still covered in flames burned with higher intensity all of a sudden, the leading Blazeheart elder didn't take the insult laying down this time.
"Well, for coming from a first-tier family and a part of a Ruler level force, you are not doing it any better, if you would have listened to me and joined hands to crush those two bitches from the very beginning none of this would have happened".
"And now we are back to the starting point… no we are worse than we were before, since your supposedly defense specialized subordinates are in quite a bad state", he said as he gazed at the elder with the prosthetic arm, who gritted his teeth in response.
Mariana didn't know how to answer to that, she had her orders but it is also true that she looked down on the enemies, also it's not like she can blame her superiors in the open, specially because the plan came from an heir level figure.
On the other hand, she wasn't stupid and as proud as she was of being a member of the Mountain Amber family, she wasn't willing to suffer for that on purpose, at this point getting a win and remaining alive was the aim, not recovering face or anything of the like, so she simply said.
"Enough of tossing the blame around, you and your vice-leader will team up with me and my vice-keader to kill one while all the others fight the other one, I say we go for the spear wielding one since she is the weaker between the two and her defenses should have suffered when she was flown away by the explosion of earlier".
The leading Blazeheart elder inwardly snorted, but he also decided to leave the discussion for later, in any case now that his point has been proved valid, the Redheart family will be able to have a better standing when talking about future cooperation with the Mountain Amber and Ocean Aquamarine families and that was more than enough for him to get a decent amount of merit.
'These guys related to main branches of first tier forces and above are always the same, they won't leave that high and mighty attitude until they are forced to, we the Redheart will soon raise to our original glory!', he thought to then say.
"I agree, with the eight of us working together there is no way we won't be able to at least heavily wound them in a short period of…".
The words from the leading Blazeheart elder were suddenly interrupted by a certain silver-haired girl.
"It seems like there is a misunderstanding, there is no way that a "non-lethal spar" level attack like that one will force me to retreat", said Camila which made Mariana snort at her.
"You make it sound as if that huge silver spear technique didn't use a lot of spirit energy and you were forced to use that basically just against me and those three idiots, with two peak stage fire attackers, me who has both offense and defense and a peak stage to block you, you are dead, unless that light gray-haired bitch grows wings or something that allows her to bypass five enemies swarming her from every direction!", she said.
Camila smiled in response, as she saw the small black metal plaques come out of Alexandra's ankles as she mumbled.
"So we are finally taking things seriously", she said to then add.
"Black Heavenly Step", with a few words, the light gray-haired girl disappeared from plain sight.
"Watch…", Mariana barely managed to shout a single word before a loud explosion echoed through the battlefield.
"Boooom!", it was actually a double explosion, the first one was caused by Alexandra's movement technique, which basically consisted in she enhancing herself with spirit energy and then explosively increase her speed by releasing the impact stored in the plaques of black heavenly gold that floated behind her ankles.
As for the second explosion… that was the sound of one of the Blazeheart elders having his head blasted away by an octagonal flat black metal plaque once Alexandra had appeared in front of him.
"I only see four now", casually said Alexandra as she retrieved the black metal plaque, in time for the other enemies to react.
"Wilk!!!", the other two blazeheart elders who saw their friend being instantly killed, roared like wounded beasts, to then slash their swords at Alexandra who flashed back to where Camila was calmly floating.
"Sorry for asking you to restrain yourself, but I couldn't help but wonder why Aster paired us the way he did, at least until I saw that rhomboid plaque…", mumbled the silver haired girl.
What happened is that until this point neither Alexandra, nor Camila have been fighting with the intent to kill, they had kept their techniques to the basic level they use when sparring with each other.
Of course, the other party wasn't like that, they had been trying to get rid of those two since earlier, as the usage of both "Blaze Commandment" and "Blazing Glory" from the Blazeheart side as well as the "Mountain Armor" from the Mountain Amber elders, suggested.
It was for a good reason though, that's why Alexandra who isn't the type to play around in a fight, played along with Camila's request of showing her at least one sample of the three main techniques she has.
"It's fine, that pervert never does anything without a proper reason, I'm pretty sure this was within his calculations anyway", said Alexandra, which made Camila giggle.
"So, what do you need me to do?", asked Alexandra to Camila, only for the now remaining eight enemies to flash at them.
"After killing one of my fellow clan members in front of me, how dare you casually chat like that!", screamed the leading Blazeheart elder whose eyes were bloodshot, both he and his vice-leader exploded in purple and light blue flames to then shout.
"Blaze Convergence!", their bodies then became like vacuums that absorbed the fire spirit energy from the vicinity, included the one that was injected by the other Blazeheart elders into their seas of knowledge, this was a technique that only those that had reached the peak stage of the Sea of Knowledge realm could use.
It was just a little variation of Blaze Commandment, one that used the flames of others instead of the ones of the user for a temporary boost, it's not something that those with a promising future would do, because it eats away at the level of the attribute of the user.
As a result, the agglomeration of now only four seas of knowledge, since that other elder was killed a second ago, further shrank until it was of only around three kilometers of size, in exchange the light blue tone of the attribute part of the flames surrounding those two, darkened, they actually reached the dark blue level by relying on the flames and spirit energy of their companions.
Of course after this ended the original light blue tone of their attributes will worsen, in fact there is a chance it will regress to orange color, but for now, defeating the enemies in front of them was everything that mattered.
"Blazing Sword!", and that was just the start, the two peak stage Blazeheart elders slashed their burning swords at Camila, releasing two half-moon shaped attacks.
"Radiant Step", the silver-haired girl simply turned into a bright silver light that flashed upwards to dodge those two's attacks, only for Mariana to appear in front of her.
"Amber Crushing Charge!", dark brown spirit energy as well as a solid rock layer covered Mariana's left arm as she tackled Camila who defended with treasure aura.
"Crack!", upon contact, Camila's treasure aura initially blocked Mariana's attack, however a fraction of a second later, an amber colored line appeared on the rock layer covering Mariana's left arm and as if a rock was thrown at a mirror, crystal shattering sounds were produced as cracks appeared on the silver-copper light protecting Camila.
Surprisingly for the first time since the fight started, an enemy managed to bypass the defense of one of those two.
"Copper Crusher", Camila however met Mariana's tackle with her pretty left fist which was cladded in a dark copper toned light.
"Boooom!", while those two were engulfed into a large-scale energy explosion, the three early-stage Mountain Amber elders who had surprisingly taken the initiative to go against Alexandra, shouted in unison.
"Shield Mountain Bash!", with their shields facing Alexandra, those three manifested the giant mountain wall of earlier, but this time to use it as an attack, since they were unable to use the "Suppressing Mountain Fall" technique that Mariana used against Camila, they imitated it this way.
"Heavenly Reflection", Alexandra softly snorted as she pointed her pretty right index finger at the incoming mountain, releasing a plaque of black heavenly gold from the backside of her palm, which then expanded until it was of the same size of the incoming mountain, around a hundred meters tall.
"Booom!", the two objects clashed and though there was no shockwave, since Alexandra was absorbing the impact, there was an energy explosion caused by those three injecting more spirit energy into the mountain.
It was pointless of course, they didn't have enough spirit energy to surpass the impact negating property of Alexandra's black heavenly gold, so at best they could only keep a stalemate, but that was the idea.
"Blazing Rain!", the remaining two Blazeheart elders who had appeared above Alexandra pointed their hands at her to then release rain of fire upon the light gray-haired girl.
"Mirroring", a second black heavenly gold plaque came out of Alexandra's body, this time from her left hand, to then expand into a large octagonal plate that floated above Camila shielding her from the fire rain.
However, unlike "Heavenly Reflection" which focuses in absolute defense, "Mirroring" is an attack technique, so with a punch from her left fist, the fire rain was equaled in power by a bunch of metal spirit energy arrows that then destroyed the fire rain as Alexandra poured more spirit energy into her technique.
"Blazing Path!", the two Blazeheart elders immediately flashed away to avoid the incoming attacks, they had already fulfilled their role anyway.
"Amber Shield Crush!", the Mountain Amber vice-leader appeared a few meters away from Alexandra, his tower shield covered in rocks and a familiar looking amber line in the center, they actually made it so that Alexandra used her two techniques at the same time to then attack her, that's why the three early stage elders were still clashing against the Heavenly Reflection, since Alexandra could only use each technique once at the time, she could adjust the range by adding more metal plaques though.
"Humph", of course the fact that she couldn't use Heavenly Reflection or Mirroring against the incoming attack, didn't mean she was defenseless in the slightest, after all her black heavenly gold has an insanely high defense property as it is anyway.
A dozen of black metal plaques came out of Alexandra's left body, expanding to form a dodecahedron, it was a simplified version of the whole body shield she used to isolate herself back at her date with Aster, as in it was composed of way less plaques of black heavenly gold, using only twelve, it was due to the promptness of the situation.
"Booooom!", the Mountain Amber vice-leader clashed against Alexandra's protection, producing a thunderous explosion accompanied by sparks, as a result the black metal dodecahedron was sent flying, very much to the pleasure of the Mountain Amber vice-leader.
At the same time, the confrontation between Camila and Mariana ended with the silver-haired girl's copper colored energy being overwhelmed by the amber colored one coming from Mariana, resulting in Camila being forced to retreat.
"I'll make you regret ever asking for a team battle", mockingly said Mariana as she regrouped with the others, they were exchanging positions to make it hard for those two to know who was going to attack whom.
Unfortunately for them, neither Camila nor Alexandra looked worried after suffering a setback for the first time since their fights started, Camila flashed to appear next to Alexandra who limited to ask.
"So, what do I need to do?", to which Camila said.
"Your "main" plaque was it, take it out for a moment", Alexandra had her reservations but she decided to trust the silver-haired girl, so she placed her hand on her chest for a second before that rhomboid shaped piece of black heavenly gold came out.
Then under Alexandra's surprised eyes, her main plaque of black heavenly gold… floated towards Camila.
"Mm?", Alexandra had a confused expression on her pretty face as she saw her main plaque of black heavenly gold, move without she ordering to do so.
Now imagine her expression when she saw Camila beckoning with her hand which had started to glow in a bright golden light, and as previously stated the golden color had traumatized the presents, so the moment Mariana saw that golden light glow on Camila's hand, she immediately charged at the silver-haired girl.
"Amber Crushing Charge!", as the saying goes "If it's not broken don't fix it", since this technique perfectly worked against Camila earlier, she used it again, of course the others followed the same idea.
"Blazing Sword!", this time the two-peak stage Blazeheart elders aimed their attacks at Alexandra though, because she was too close to Camila and wanted to put distance between them to attack them separately like before.
"Clang!", but then to both Mariana and those two's surprise, they were blocked by a pair of objects.
"Golden Fortune", accompanied by Camila's mellow voice, the appearance of the objects that blocked the attacks of the enemies was revealed, the one which took the impact of Mariana's tackle was a majorly black metallic circular shield which had golden ornaments engraved on it.
As for the one that actually smacked the slashing lights released by the Blazeheart elders, it was a majorly golden lance with back metal ornaments, both of which returned with a snap of Camila's fingers.
"How… did you do that?", couldn't help but ask Alexandra as she saw the lance that was now orbiting her, while the shield was floating next to Camila.
Earlier when Camila's hand glowed in that golden light, Alexandra's main black heavenly gold plaque was separated into two equal parts, then a few drops of a golden bright liquid came out of the silver-haired girl's fingers and integrated into the two halves, to then change their form into the shield and lance that Alexandra was seeing as of current.
The problem is that, Alexandra herself knows this isn't possible, her black heavenly gold is easy to expand, she can turn a piece of a few centimeters into a plaque of a few dozens of meters without much of a problem.
However, in terms of flexibility, the black heavenly gold is extremely hard to manipulate, which is why the forms she created with it are flat and straight with no curvature, her full body protection is composed of many octagonal plaques pressed together, instead of having a spherical shape after all and that's only the problem with the shield.
The lance is even more impossible, her attribute has a really low offensive power just like how her strength is really subpar when compared to other cultivators at her same body path realm, at least as of current since she recently got an insanely strong regent to temper her body, though it came with a "harsh" side effect, on a completely different meaning than the usual horrible pain that one would have to deal with.
Even if molded it into a sharp offensive shape, like a sword or a spike the previous wouldn't change, which was a despairing situation for the light gray-haired girl before she found her way of fighting.
But then, she just saw that lance not block, nor nullify nor reflect, nor mirror the sword slashes, but directly and rather fiercely smack them away, it completely defied what she knew of her own attribute.
"Aster told me that he had seen a "flaw" appear on your main plaque and that I should pay attention to it, when I had the chance and a moment ago when you used that new technique… that plaque inside your heart became detectable for me, in other words it transformed into a treasure", mumbled Camila.
Materials created by cultivators are temporal, they'll disappear if spirit energy is not supplied to them regularly, even Alexandra's black heavenly gold is only semi-permanent as it has to be kept inside of her body to prevent it from disappearing, without feeding it spirit energy.
Besides that, if too much of the impact stored inside of it is released, it will break apart as well and thus, it can't be considered a "treasure", however the main plaque apparently has gone through a qualitative change a moment ago after Camila used her new technique with it.
Well, now it had stopped being temporal and became a proper treasure, a permanent resource, in other words, a "natural" piece of black heavenly gold now existed in the four Heavenly Quadrants!
And since it was considered a treasure, then Camila with her recently obtained ability which she named "Golden Fortune" as a way to refer the fact that Aster affectionately calls her, his "lucky charm", fully brought out its properties by adding the golden liquid drops to it.
Resulting in that shield and lance which had different objectives, as one would imagine, as for the limitations that Alexandra knows about, Aster jokes about Camila being the "Treasure Queen", but that's not too far-fetched from the truth.
So, with an "order" from the queen, how could the black heavenly gold dare to not comply and take the shape and property that Camila wanted it to take, of course it was only possible because the golden liquid was acting as the medium, since this beyond the current level of control that Alexandra had.
But the important part is that Camila couldn't create something out of nowhere, this basically confirmed that Alexandra's black heavenly gold had the potential to be used for offensive, she simply needed to become skilled enough on it.
Feeling the familiar amused gaze coming from afar, on her, Alexandra pouted to her insides, she couldn't help but willingly walk into the "trap" prepared by the dragon youth and grab the handle of the golden-black lance.
'Mom is so not going to leave me hear the end of this, oh well, I might as well make the fullest of this…', she thought as she nodded at Camila who smiled at her.
"Black Heavenly Step", Alexandra's image suddenly blurred as she disappeared from her previous position, making Mariana's danger alarms ring in her mind, she was the strongest so she thought the enemy was coming for her first.
But luckily for her, or not depending on how you view it, Alexandra appeared in front of the Mountain Amber vice-leader to then thrust her lance at him.
"Mountain Armor!", feeling the danger coming from that lance, the elder exploded in dark brown spirit energy that reinforced the brown layer covering his shield.
"Crack!", the lance clashed against the shield, creating a few cracks on it, that was already way more than what Alexandra expected, since this was a pure attack using her own strength, meaning that the lance had a high damage output.
But then, the lance which had stopped there for a second had the golden part of its body glow, before the black metallic core, followed.
"Boooom!", the lance suddenly exploded with a second impact, with which the tower shield, the rock layer and the intent layer were instantly destroyed, before the lance pierced the chest of the peak stage elder all the way to the guard, killing the elder on the spot.
