"What did you say?!"
Grabbing Carter by the neck, Lilian's magic power surged, her tail hitting the ground hard.
"Royal sister ...."
Carter gritted his teeth, this was Lilian's flaw, she never listens and is always upset by anything that happens around Arthur.
However, this was not the time to fight, Carter recounted everything, as well as the things that had happened.
Arthur had offered himself as a decoy to catch a Transcendent and that this collapse was his actions.
"Arthur!"
Needless to say, Lilian ran into the epicenter of the womb, her dear fiancé was in danger.
"Your Highness Lilian, wait ... it's dangerous!"
Her guards quickly tried to stop her, however to no avail, Lilian had already activated various artifacts around her and her body began to change and transform.
* ROOOOOAAAAARRRR
Entering spirit form, Lilian scanned the area and the hoops around her flapped, likewise a pair of beautiful aquamarine wings flapped on her back and her body began to float, with the area devastated, Lilian's only option was to fly and find Arthur from the sky.
"....."
Charlotte bit her lip, with a Transcendent as an enemy, no matter how strong Lilian's innate ability is, she will not be able to defeat her, even if she activates all her artifacts, the Transcendent is at a different level and not easy to beat.
Even now Charlotte is impressed by how powerful and intelligent Arthur is, that he can catch a Transcendent is a feat that deserves all her respect.
That was the power of the future strongest man in the world, as well as a world power stronger than Margareth.
Arthur lived up to his reputation as the novel's most beloved character, just as he could not be conquered.
Unfortunately, Charlotte did not have the power to participate in a battle at this level, she does not have an innate ability like Lilian and she does not have an analytical power like Arthur.
"Miss Ludi!"
Suddenly Ludi's guards panicked, her young lady was running after Lilian, going straight to the danger zone.
----------------
Arthur's tails swayed and he drew several magic circles around him, he needed to activate the other matrix, he bit his thumbs and wrote several spell lines with his blood.
Likewise, the 'Ice heart' necklace floated in the center of the matrix.
Arthur was again going to sacrifice another of his Artifacts.
* BROMMMM
Suddenly the ground began to shake and the magic power around him suddenly increased, a large hand rose from the ground and lashed out hard, causing the surroundings to be a mess.
"Here it comes..."
Arthur didn't stop, he knew that Veronica wouldn't be trapped for long and right now Veronica was using her overwhelming power to break the matrix.
* Clap
However Arthur couldn't allow the matrix to be destroyed, not yet, he clapped and the second matrix was activated.
"Activate Matrix, Judgment of Thunder!"
The pentagram lit up and from the sky, several storm clouds quickly formed, the heart of ice lit up and likewise, several rays fell in succession, attacking the huge palm.
* BOOM
Several impacts fell from the sky successfully hitting Veronica, who felt her whole body numb, the pressure of gravity from the center of the planet had her tied and the more it sinks to the center of the planet, the stronger the gravity, now she was supporting a gravity approximately 1600 to that of the surface and kept increasing, the vast magical power that Arthur's fan stores was not a joke, her only option was to destroy the matrix, however just when he was about to do so, lightning struck it.
"This kid!!"
Veronica couldn't believe it, that Arthur will manage to catch her is one thing, but for him to keep activating another matrix was absurd, fortunately, the thunder matrix was not as powerful as the 8 point matrix.
There was a big difference between powers, due to the catalysts that activated the matrices.
Arthur didn't stop, he quickly started to draw the next matrix.
"Arthur!"
Suddenly a three-meter high dragon fell from the sky, this Dragon was Lilian with the Thunder matrix activated, she quickly found Arthur, deactivated her transformation, and returned to her natural form, likewise, Lilian's guards too landed.
"Your Highness Lilian ..."
Arthur turned his head and assisted, continued to draw the following matrix ...
"Arthur, you're hurt!"
Seeing her fiancé with his fingers and eyes bleeding, Lilian's heart clenched and incredible anger formed inside her, this was unacceptable, Arthur since he was born was not harmed in any way, much less spilled blood, and Lilian he knew, like his wife, Lilian could not tolerate him, Arthur born as the noblest man in the world, he deserved the best.
Lilian's guards also felt uncomfortable, so they quickly approached and tried to treat his injuries, however, was rejected by Arthur, at the same time Arthur also stopped Lilian who was about to transform and attack Veronica.
"Your Highness Lilian, don't do it, she's a Transcendent we're talking about ...."
All noble children are always equipped with consumable Artifacts, of which parents for years store large amounts of magical power in them, for the protection of their children.
This is an obligation of the nobility, especially those who will be their future heirs or their male children, their artifacts are of higher rank and tend to be numerous.
It is because of these Consumable Artifacts that noble children have a chance to defend themselves against those of higher level.
However, no matter how talented the child is, can only activate one to two artifacts at a time, after all even if they do not use their mana, children have to be able to control their artifacts and this is difficult due to high concentrated mana power...
Of course, this does not apply to Lilian.
Lilian is strong due to her innate ability 'Parallel Activation' that allows her to activate multiple artifacts at once, without any side effects as well as control of them.
With this ability, Lilian has surpassed her generation, since no one could compete with her in the activation and quantity of artifacts, however, everything has a limit.
Noble children could not activate Artifacts beyond the Ancestral rank, higher-level artifacts require contracts, and children are too weak to withstand the power of Divine artifacts, not to mention World Artifacts, whose requirements to equip them are numerous.
An Ancestral Artifact cannot hurt a Transcendent, it is because of this that Arthur chose to use magic matrices to enhance the magic power and also use this energy to a devastating effect and although Lilian activates all her artifacts at the same time, still not it would hurt Veronica.
Arthur did not want the future Queen to be heavily hurt.
"Arthur ..."
Lilian stopped, she knew that Arthur was right, even if he attacked Veronica, she would be making things worse, since the 8 point matrix can weaken, however, the anger inside her could not be turned off.
"Your Highness Lilian, please control yourself"
But Arthur narrowed his eyes, likewise, he looked hard at Lilian who shuddered at her gaze.
"..."
Lilian was silent for a few seconds as her guards, after all her arrogant Princess, was silenced by a look from her fiancé, this was the first time for them.
* BROMMMM
Then suddenly another gigantic hand rose and lunged at the 8-point matrix.
With the entire matrix trembling, the magic power in the air became heavy, as well as the fan showed cracks.
"Arthur let's go!"
"Your Highness, Young Master Arthur, this place is not safe! We must go!"
Instantly Lilian's guards moved, surrounded both of them and Lilian pulled Arthur by the arm urging him to run, however, Arthur shook his head and asked.
"Go where? Can you break through this barrier?"
"..."
The royal guards fell silent, no one knew better than them that they could not break through that barrier, only a Transcendent with a World Artifact could do so.
"No matter where we go, as long as we are in this barrier, running is useless"
"But Young Master Arthur, this place is not safe!"
"No part of the barrier is, my guards, can attest to that"
Pointing down where the water-filled the tunnels, her guards were unconscious, likewise encased in a bubble, protecting them from the collapse.
"..."
Again the royal guards were silent. Arthur was right with Veronica, a Transcendent, there is no safe zone in this barrier, likewise, Arthur turned his head and took Lilian's hands, looking into her eyes.
"Lilian, please ... I need your help with this"
"Arthur ~"
Lilian's cheeks reddened and her eyes were glassy, she was happy, her body trembled slightly and her tail fluttered from side to side.
This is the first time that Arthur calls her by her name, without any honorific on her background, this feeling of intimacy he liked, for the first time Lilian was delighted with this situation, she was able to get closer to the fiancé her.
"Yes! I will! I will do what you say!"
"Well, I need you to lend me your guards."
"Of course!"
"Your Highness!"
The royal guards were dumbfounded, they could not believe what Lilian had said, Arthur was controlling her using his feelings of love that he has for him, this was not appropriate for the future ruler, unfortunately for them, Lilian shook her tail forcefully at the ground and glare at them.
"Shut up! They will obey me and do whatever Arthur says! This is an order!"
Being reprimanded by their master, the female guards exchanged glances.
"Everything is ready De-a-ry ~ can I call you that? ..... Hehehe what am I saying ~"
With high expectations, Lilian dared to call him so intimately, she brought both hands to her face and she twisted in shame, at first glance she was very pretty, like all a girl in love with.
"Oh ..."
Seeing Lilian change her mood so easily, he made Arthur's left eye start to hurt ...
Letting Lilian enjoy her world, Arthur ordered the royal guards to stand at 8 different points.
* Clap
Applauding again, Arthur opened the other eye, the matrix lit up and began to take the magic power of the royal guards, likewise, the gravity will begin to increase again, causing the huge hand that held the fan to fall to the ground.
"1700 ... 2000 ... 2500 ... this is my limit ..."
With gravity increasing at high speed, Arthur fell to his knees and spat blood.
"Deary!"
Lilian approached in a panic and quickly activated one of her artifacts to heal him, however again he was rejected by Arthur ...
"Not yet... I can't heal ... Yet"
Taking big breaths, Arthur felt that his brain was going to explode, controlling a matrix is not easy, even using his second innate ability Lever Upper, it takes a lot of effort, these Matrices are something that Margareth created and was passed to him in his memories of the legacy, these Matrices are very strong for their level and using it requires great calculation processes, fortunately, Lever Upper decreased the load and the artifacts, as well as the royal guards, provided the magic power for its activation, however it is still a great pain.
"But ... Deary ... Your wounds ..."
Arthur was already dripping blood when Lilian found him and yet he refuses to be healed, Lilian did not know that she had Arthur in mind, however, she did not like me.
"Don't worry ... You will know very soon"
Using his blood again, Arthur continued to draw another matrix.
* BOOMMMM
Another explosion was heard and the fan broke, likewise, the royal guards fell to their knees, Veronica was no longer holding back, she was attacking with all her power.
"Deary, don't worry, I'll protect you!"
With her magic power activating, Lilian patted her chest and promised, her gaze changed and her dominating aura was sending out bloodlust, this was her chance to win Arthur's heart, demonstrating her power and bravery, no matter if she is a Transcendent or not, Lilian wouldn't let her adorable fox kidnap ...
"Don't worry, our reinforcements have arrived ..."
"Arthur !!"
At the same time as she said these words, a voice was heard and several figures fell from the sky ...
"This annoying fox!"
Lilian's expression sank and her previous mood faded, she was now staring at the newcomers with fury.
After all, Ludi had arrived and next to her, were her guards ...
