Several minutes ago, before Jude, Mathilda, and Alucard came to help Philip, Natsuki, Natsume, and Mei'er came barging in inside the mansion
Natsuki and Natsume talked to Vanessa, who they just spotted as Vanessa was getting something to eat
They told Vanessa that Philip left the limousine before entering the mansion and that he's meeting someone that has been following them
Vanessa became alarmed and planned to alert Justine since the small area outside the outer walls of the area of the mansion is still under her jurisdiction
It was then that everyone paused when the winds became turbulent and the skies formed dark clouds. They went outside and looked up, only to see the swirling clouds at the distance. The clouds also occasionally light up as thunder formed and lightning struck
"Is that where Philip left earlier?"
Vanessa asked
"Yes"
Natsume answered
"Weather Manipulation? That's a rather troublesome ability... Philip won't have a chance against that!"
Natsuki commented. Little did everyone know, Philip was the one who's manipulating the weather
They then felt the air around them become sharp that it became hard to move
Inside the mansion, Justine barged out of Philip's room with a troubled and shocked look on her face. She flew through the hallways and went outside and hovered in the air as she looked around with alarm in her eyes
Alucard also appeared instantly, next to Vanessa and the other, in a mist of blood. Camille looked outside her balcony and observed from afar
"Where's Philip?!"
Justine asked and Natsuki pointed in rhe direction where the center of the swirl of clouds is located
Then, everyone froze in place after a powerful energy swept over them from the direction of the cyclone
"Divine Energy?!"
Justine muttered under her voice. She then felt an explosion of Sword Energy coming from the mansion and a bright streak of white light shot towards the direction of the cyclone
"Jude?!"
Justine also muttered, the air around them became sharper but it seemed to ignore them
"Alucard! Mathilda! Let's follow Jude! Make a barrier around the mansion so that no one will see us"
Justine ordered the two and she immediately shot through towards the direction of the cyclone. She reached the speed faster than sound
"That was Jude?!"
Vanessa shouted with confusion. Everybody else also became confused because the streak of light felt very different from Jude's presence and energy signature
Mathilda then immediately transformed and flew up in the air and followed Justine in the speed of sound. She started creating the barrier with the armament behind her back
Alucard also transformed in his combat mode and flew with his wings. The sky slowly turned red as he slowly activated some of his Purebloof abilities
Vanessa, Natsuki, and Natsume watched as the three most powerful individuals in the mansion has left for Philip. They were not worried though because they know that the mansion has defenses that was set up by Mathilda and the Old Man. They also have a trump card they never had the chance to use
All of them went back to the mansion and devised a back-up plan just in case
Bea, who is in the library, stopped her decoding and deciphering of the One-paged Book. She stood up and looked at the direction of the cyclone, particularly the source of the Divine Energy
Mei'er returned to her garden and sat in the middle of a field of flower. She sat in a lotus position and closed her eyes. She concentrated on meditating and the flowers next to her bloomed and shone brightly
~~~
"What... Are... You???"
Goddess Sai muttered under her voice as she witnessed Alucard's transformation and the change of the surroundings around her. She could also feel that her own blood across her body is tingling, albeit slightly
"You're not in a position to ask questions"
A voice resounded Goddess Sai and she turned around in a panic because she never felt a presence of anyone coming close to her. Yet, this person suddenly appeared behind her without her knowing
She saw Justine, floating in the air in front of her with a different appearance and demeanor
Justine was emitting a golden aura around her as her blonde hair glowed. Her blue eyes became yellow and also glowed. She is currently emitting an astronomical amouny of energy that even made Goddess Sai shiver
Her blonde hair floats and flutters behind her head while her aura quietly burns. Her hands emit a white flaming aura and she stands in the air as she exudes extreme confidence
Justine managed to arrive behind Goddess Sai a few minutes ago even before Mathilda. She manipulated the electromagnetic spectrum around her so that Goddess Sai wouldn't be able to sense her
She didn't know if this would work since she's hiding from a Goddess, a being that's supposed to be omnipotent or omniscient. She was surprised that she wasn't actually seen
Now that she had a big advantage, she took her time to observe Goddess Sai and analyze her specific Divine Energy and the energy coming from the Solaris Spear
Eventually, as soon as Alucard showed dominance in front of a Goddess and Mathilda stood by for support, Justine has already analyzed a fraction of the Divine Energy and Solaris Energy
Nonetheless, she still decided to show herself and interrogate the Goddess because Goddess Sai wouldn't be able to do anything with them five present
"Who are you?"
Goddess Sai couldn't help but ask
"I am the Justine, the Landlord of this land. You are powerless inside my land, my domain. My advice for you is to not act recklessly or we will take you down"
"Take me down? A Goddess? Me? Hahahaha!!"
Goddess Sai regained her confidence and she laughed in a condescending tone
"Be careful of your actions, you're facing against a Pureblood Vampire, a Sword King, a Destroyer, me, and a Fate Controller"
Justine wasn't aware of Jude's evolution of his Sword Potential and his increase in Sword Mastery, so she assumed that he's still a Sword King
"You're right... But I'm a Goddess, don't you think that I should be above you all? You all should have no chance against me"
"You want to find out?"
Justine challenged Goddess Sai. Usually, she is careful about this kinds of things, but she's willing to go all out if a powerful high being is in her territory and one of the people that she's trying to protect is being harmed
It was the same for Jude, Mathilda, and Alucard, even though Mathilda doesn't care too much about Philip
"You're challenging a Goddess?! You'll regret it"
Goddess Sai looked at Justine with ridicule and Justine looked back with contempt
Justine immediately changed the gravity around Goddess Sai. Her aura and the air around her plummeted to the ground but she was still standing on air
"Looks like you've made a choice!"
Goddess Sai smiled sinisterly as her aura exploded and swept over everyone. Justine did the best that she can to minimize the effect but it's still too much coming from a Goddess
Mathilda, who is on standby from afar, took action after she detected the energy levels of Goddess Sai rising exponentially
"Battle Mode, activate"
Mathilda muttered then all of the armaments and weapons aimed at Goddess Sai shot at the same time. Bullet, energy blasts, lasers, and missiles, all projectiles did a curve and locked on to Goddess Sai
The blue and green lines on Mathilda's body became sinister red, symbolizing her Battle Mode. Nozzles, canisters, and riflings decoupled and released smoke as projectiles are being fired
Goddess Sai sensed the incoming barrage of projectiles coming to her. She dashed forward and aimed for Justine but Jude intercepted her and blocked her with his Dominator sword
The two then disappeared and flew across the sky as the barrage of bullets missed and flew to the barrier. Homing missiles followed Goddess Sai but some of them completely missed and the energy blasters and laser were blocked by Goddess Sai's barrier
Alucard also began to move as he flapped his large bloody wings. He conjured multiple blood spears around him and shot towards Goddess Sai with extreme precision as he extended his left arm. He also conjured a blood scythe on his right hand that is bigger than himself but lighter
Goddess Sai and Jude clashed with each other. Goddess Sai wields the Solaris Spear as she attacks Jude, blocks his attacks, and parries Alucard's blood spears. Jude tried to overwhelm Goddess Sai with the Dominator Sword
The Dominator Sword became his Soul Artifact after becoming a Sword Saint. He was also surprised that the sword became perfect, with the blue lines and dots across the blade that filled the gaps and chips. Jude didn't know how it happened but he concluded that it was Philip. He wanted to thank Philip later
He also has an Ultimate Technique and a World Skill available. He just needs to come up with each one and use it against Goddess Sai when she's immobilized
"HAAAH!"
It was then that Goddess Sai shouted as she raised her spear and smashed it against Jude's sword. The power from a Goddess made Jude shot towards the ground with force
She then faced Alucard and dashed towards him as she conjured several light copies of the Solaris Spear aimed at him
Alucard unarmed the blood spear and let it float beside him. He then clapped his hand in front of him and blood lightning surged around his arms. He pulled his hands apart and the blood lightning condensed in between his palms. The blood from the Blood Storm was sucked in between his arms and tentacles from the blood lake shot towards his hands
It was then that a bright red light formed in between his hands and pushed it in front if him. Blood trickled down his right cheek from his eye
"Blood Ray"
A bright red beam of blood shot towards Goddess Sai. A shockwave formed and the sound generated was like all of the keys of a grand organ is beings pushed at the same time as the pipes began to rupture
Goddess Sai widened her eyes and formed a shield with the eight light spears in front of her
The Blood Ray collided with the spear shield and the beam split into eight directions. Some of the beam went to the sky and the others went to the ground
A few seconds later, the Blood Ray became thin and disappeared. It was time for Goddess Sai to dash towards Alucard. She extended her hand and the light spears shot through
Alucard deflected a few of the light spears with the blood scythe and the other light spears were being taken care of the materializing blood around Alucard, as well as the Blood Shield
Goddess Sai then appeared in front of Alucard's face with her sinister smile and glowing violet eyes. Alucard looked at her calmly with his red glowing eyes
"I'm taking your heart!"
Goddess Sai declared as she swung her spear towards Alucard
"Freeze"
Alucard spoke with power, making Goddess Sai freeze in a fraction of a second. Goddess Sai trembled and his brain was jogged from the power behind Alucard's voice
She quickly regained her composure and she's about to resume her attack but she was beaten by Alucard
Even though Goddess Sai only froze for a fraction of a second, it was enough for Alucard to conjure blood sigils behind him and wrap Goddess Sai with blood runes
The blood sigils, that has a sinular symbol in each of them, exploded and the blood runes around her became an array that served different purposes and effects
The blood arrays exploded and applied the effects to Goddess Sai. The effects were decrease in movement speed, tiredness, sleepiness, grogginess, and making her freeze in place for three seconds at most
Under those three seconds, Goddess Sai was surrounded by ten Alucards with one being the true body and nine being the fake ons as he cloned himself. Although, the clones has no features and they are only red in color in its entire body
All of the clones and Alucard himself, extended their arms and concentrated blood coagulated in front of their hands. The blood swirled and condensed into a single point until it exploded forwards
Goddess Sai was engulfed in ten Blood Explosions. The Blood Clones then disappeared and the remaining blood flew towards Alucard
After a few seconds, the bloody smoke from the explosion dissipated and revealed the shining barrier that came from Goddess Sai
"What you're doing is futile"
Goddess Sai regained her movements but her debuffs remained. She raised her spear and swung down on Alucard
Alucard gracefully dodged to the side and a shadow grew bigger above Goddess Sai. She looked up and saw a giant axe, five times the size of Alucard, coming down to her
As the giant axe collided with Goddess Sai's barrier, a giant shockwave swept through the area. Justine stopped the shocwave that was coming ti her and deflected it. She can't affor to get distracted as she is still analayzing Goddess Sai's Divine Energy and the Solaris Spear the best that she can. This is an opportunity to her to analyze a divine being and a holy weapon
Goddess Sai slowly turned her head around to see where the giant axe came from. She then realized that the barrage of projectiles that is being rained down on her stopped several seconds ago
The giant axe cane from Mathilda, who has a different appearance a transformed outfit
The metal casings and parts on her thighs and upper arm disappeared and revealed her skin. Her legs and arms had bulk armors that is reinforced by attachments and hidden weapons. Her torso, chest, and back is covered by thick platings that compliments her figure
The eagle wings also disappeared and it was replaced by two cylindrical boosters that is hovering behind her back. The boosters eject blue energy for propulsion and it's also used as an energy swirl cannon
On her head, a high-tech visor is equipped across her eyes that wraps around her back of her head. The center point of the visor glows with sinister red, the same as the red lines across her armor. Her red hair flutters behind her as the shockwave swept through her
"AAAAAAHHH!"
Mathilda screamed as giant boosters formed behind the giant axe and ejected blue energy for propulsion. The axe pushed down with a greater force but Goddess Sai's barrier is stull unfazed
Alucard also took action as she lunged a glowing spiraling blood spear toward the barrier. The collision created a sheering sound as the blood spear drills through the barrier
"Nothing will get through my barrier. It is the epitome of my power and no mere mortal can pass through!"
Goddess Sai declared loudly as none of Mathilda and Alucard's attacks are passing through
It was then that Jude stood from the ground and jumped towards Goddess Sai
"Ultimate Technique: Protection Shatterer"
Jude sped up his speed as he swung Dominator in an upwards strike. The sword glowed brightly and vibrated violently in Jude's hands
Goddess Sai widened her eyes after sensing the strong Sword Energy and Sword Potential coming from below
The Dominator Sword collifed with the barrier and a part of the barrier was shattered. The sword penetrated halfway through the barrier but it was caught in the middle since the barrier maintanednits strength
Currently, everyone is in a stalemate. Mathilda is pushing the giant axe down with all of her might with the energy boosters, Alucard pushing through with all that he can as the glowing blood spear drills through, and Jude pushing through while struggling to constantly attack with Sword Energy to maintain the Ultimate Technique
Goddess Sai stared at everyone as she contemplated at what to do next. The Solaris Spear is below her, trying to protect her in case that the Dominator Sword will pass through
Philip watched as he recovered himself from fatigue. He was panting as different energy signature is sweeping over him, as well as shockwaves and gusts of winds
Justine extended her right hand and pointed at Jude, Alucard, and Mathilda. The white aura around her hand began to grow then disappeared
