Chapter 133: Thorn of Blood

Chapter 133: Thorn of Blood

"!!!Art of Emeralds, Fourth Stance: Thorn of Blood !!!!"

SWOOSH!

With a fierce momentum. The arrow, whether from the art or the large amount of spells, was now a reddish color.

It flew without restraint, dodging all obstacles. She didn’t know how, but her always found a path to follow when she shot an arrow. It was not a skill, but a natural talent, which could even match those with real skills.

The arrow traveled. Before it impacted with the mud, which it could not avoid, but as if it was common mud, it went through it without losing momentum, and immediately after that also the barriers, which were mainly of earth element, began to break without resistance under the impact of the arrow.

Thwip-thud!..

Finally, the arrow impacted with Taryn’s body and, an instant after the arrow penetrated, like a bud, a bloody flower appeared and formed on her chest at the place of impact, causing her a lot of damage.

Taryn, who a moment ago was concentrating on maintaining him defense, did not understand what was happening.

He thought him defense would be enough for anything Alice sent that should only have four metamorphoses. Sure, he was surprised at the tactics and plans, but, still, his mana should be mammothly superior to hers and he should be able in due time, to suppress and kill her.

He just had to wait. Either she would tire, or she would run out of mana, but he would triumph all the same. Or so he thought, but that attack took him by surprise.

No matter how talented she was, she should be weak in something: be it mana, strength, speed, endurance or protection. He should be able to exploit some weakness, but the girl seemed proficient in everything.

Many thoughts ran through Taryn’s head time was going slow and he couldn’t go on like this.

swoosh!..swoosh!..swoosh!..

he saw more arrows that, although not as lethal as the previous one, with him defenses destroyed, seemed to want to finish his job.

"That’s enough!!!, that’s enough, haa!.... The game ends here!!."

Angry and out of patience, Taryn ripped the arrow out of his chest, gave himself a quick treatment and exploded with a mana that was from someone who had gone through 7 metamorphoses, and introducing it to the sludge.

To save mana, he only controlled the sludge with his blessing so far, and when the mana entered the sludge he made it stronger and more lethal by destroying all the branches and devouring them with no chance for them to reattach Now it had finally gotten serious.

Tired of the slippery Alice, with even more mana he made a huge dome of mud in the area; ’now there was no escape’.

Slowly he squeezed and destroyed the rest of the trees and branches, closing the dome.

The mana he thought to save for emergencies, since they were still in enemy territory, began to be spent, but he could no longer allow a student to continue playing with it.

Finally, the dome shrank enough that Alice had no room to maneuver, only a piece of wood remained. Finally, Alice stepped out and, without a second’s delay, quickly fired another arrow, this time a purple arrow.

swoosh!

This arrow was something specially made by Seraphina, with knowledge in divine runes, along with Astrid’s help. On it, she had engraved runes that had only one function’Interruption’.

It could be said that it was inspired to be a demoted version of the spear’s authority ’Connection’ and to copy a bit of one of its functions. this interruption allowed her, for a brief time, to interrupt the magical flow as well as the blessings.

Seraphina had made sure that all her girls had at least one artifact with this functionality, as they were difficult to make.

Seeing That purple arrow, perhaps sensing something wrong, Taryn did her best to block it, but, still, it again went through the defenses. Although it didn’t hurt him as much as the first one, it still managed to penetrate him a little.

Causing for a brief moment, interrupting everything Taryn had prepared, from her spells she had on him and the ones she would use to finish off Alice, even the control of the dome. The interruption was brief, but effective.

Angrily, Taryn rushed over and, controlling the sludge in his hand, which was the only thing he could do instantly after suffering that one-second interruption to all his defense spells, as well as his attack spells, and even his control over the sludge dome, he had no time to put them back together again.

Taryn didn’t understand what the hell that purple arrow was, but he had to finish quickly with Alice, who kept surprising him and taking the situation more and more out of him control.

Luckily Alice was close enough that he could reach her even with his poor mage physique, yes, Taryn didn’t think correctly and although his priority was to get rid of Alice, he did what a mage would never do, but he believed that his blow would definitely finish off the annoying girl, who was just an archer.

Bamm!

Taryn delivered a strong blow that would definitely end the life of someone from four metamorphoses; he was a mage, but it was still a direct hit, along with the help of his blessing. That would beat even someone of metamorphosis sixth to a pulp.

With four metamorphoses, no matter how much protection or resistance Alice had , she would definitely die.

Or so he thought, but when the blow impacted; he felt as if she had hit something very hard, like metal. He thought it was armor, but when he looked closer, he realized that Alice had green skin at the site of impact.

tracing the origin of that greenness, upwards as if her skin had the shape of an inverted tree the roots originated from her mouth where Alice was biting a green arrow.

The situation was unexpected and left Taryn blank for a moment, long enough for Alice to throw aside her bow, remove the arrow from her mouth and pull a dagger from her bag.

Alice, despite having temporarily assimilated and integrated with Verdalia’s wood, which temporarily increased her defense, which was her only weakness, still suffered painful internal injuries from the blow.

Nevertheless, with tenacity he completed his art. Now, being at zero distance, It was the perfect time.

"Art of Emeralds: Fourth Stance: Thorn of Blood."

The same technique different method, and taking both the arrow and the dagger one in each hand, he performed his most powerful attack art he could perform.

Rip!, Clack!

Again, the weapons took on a red hue, and he quickly thrust them from both sides of the head into both ears of Taryn, who was now helpless.

Crunch!

the dagger and the arrow pierced him deeply. Everything was too fast for him and death was already present on the spot, it was too late to do anything.

He did not even have a moment to regret it or to say his last words, as his vision was extinguished and he fell dead immediately afterwards.

..

"Haaa...haaaa...haaaa...haaaa."

Alice, breathing heavily, had no reaction as she looked at the man’s corpse. Since the day of the academy invasion, she had practiced intensely; she couldn’t afford to be a burden to her older sister again.

She wanted to be someone she could trust, not someone who needed to be protected.

She would not forgive those who tried to hurt her loved ones, and she would eliminate them all, without exception.

Never again would she allow herself to drag her sister down in any way. From now on, she was ready for anything.

She took a breath of air and finally after drinking recovery potions, and whatnot, her wounds were healed, her strong point was her vitality, so it wouldn’t take long for her to recover with the potion, she had to make sure of the situation of the others.

*****

Third-person POV: Moments before

*****

when Alicia with a tree threw one of the most powerful men and Elena dragged another out of the place. Only Selene and Eira were left, along with eight others, or rather, seven, because one of them, due to the loss of his limbs, it was only a matter of time before he died.

The twins began their attacks against the seven. It was unfair, but all those present were only between five and four metamorphoses.

Eira knew that existence rank wasn’t everything, and they, as young elites of the realm, should be able to handle something like that, but that was only when it was one on one.

Still, she didn’t back down; she couldn’t. The other two girls, Alice and Elena, took subjects that would be even more difficult than dealing with this group. Besides, Eira relied on her resonance, which was her trump card and part of her battle style.

"Fracturae Glacialis"

Whoosh-thunk, whoosh-thunk, whoosh-thunk..

As was normal, Eira had chosen to attack with a barrage of ice spears or a ranged attack while being powered by, albeit little, by her sister Selene’s mana.

Yes, it would have been, if it had been earlier, because Eira was enhanced to the point where she felt a little pressured. Eira had not noticed it much before, but the resonance put pressure on the body of those who received the enhancement, and now she was clearly noticing it.

She didn’t know how her sister trained, since whenever she asked she always said it was a secret. She only mentioned that it was training with Christian, her brother-in-law, who was also a monster, who seemed to have no weaknesses and whom she wanted to eliminate if the opportunity arose.

He was so questionable that she was seriously worried about her little sister’s future, and every time she saw him she was so angry that she wanted nothing more than to tear him to pieces.

Also, Eira could never ask him to help her, because Selene told her that she had to become his girlfriend first, something she definitely won’t do, Just thinking about it made her angrier.

It also made her a little suspicious about the origin of the strength of her new friends, who seemed surprisingly just as strong as her sister.

But, there was a possibility that Seraphina also had that method, to become stronger and it was a secret and limited of the Silvercrest duchy so she didn’t stick her nose into it and would try on her own, or so she thought.

But she was falling further and further behind and even asked Seraphina if she could help her, but Seraphina just made a hard face, as if helping her was beyond her power, and her resonance that picked up her intentions also noticed that she seemed to be in a problematic situation so Eira backed off, and told her to forget it, which made Seraphina feel relieved.

She never imagined that at that moment Seraphina would find the situation problematic because she needed to perform the dual synchronization.

Even if she found her annoying, Seraphina did not dislike Eira to the point of denying her any possibility of joining her harem, since they were now friends-foes.

but that did not change that when Eira found out the methods and the whole truth, Seraphiana would have to be ready to face a berserker who seeks her life, so she ruled out the possibility of introducing Eira to her harem.

And therefore the methods towards the strength that Selene currently has.
