All the sixth-ranked phoenixes channeled energy through their meridians crazily as they used their strongest defenses to protect them. Between the nova and the lower-level phoenixes, giant ice domes, walls, pillars, and other defensive structures formed. Feng Guoshi, Anna, and Eve joined the defensive team, summoning an extra Ice dome and mountain-sized roots surrounding the Ice phoenixes' defensive measures.
The Fire Nova collided with their defenses in an explosion that dimmed the heavens!
"BOOOOM!!!!!"
The world trembled and cried in agony as the enormous explosion changed the landscape.
When Yasenia and the others opened their eyes, they saw half of the phoenixes with burned wings and feathers; four of the Legendary ranked phoenixes died in this explosion.
Anna, Eve, and Feng Guoshi came back to Yasenia's side with similar injuries. Anna and Eve had lost an arm and had more than half of the body with badly burnt marks. They both picked a transcendent ranked pill and consumed it; they still had to protect their miss!
Yasenia looked around, and her eyes opened wide with fear. Everything around turned into a hellish landscape. The fire nova was so strong that it had changed the snow-filled mountains into a crater tens of kilometers deep and so wide that Yasenia couldn't see the end.
The previous snowy landscape was now a bubbling magma ocean, the mountains in the surroundings were evaporated, and the sky had changed colors to red. It was like an abyss to hell had opened in front of the Phoenix Mountain. Yasenia's body couldn't help but tremble in fear, 'T-This is the strength of Transcendence realm cultivators? They are basically walking Natural disasters!'
The sentence that Tatyana said to her came to her mind again, and she couldn't help but say it out loud with a trembling voice. "All under transcendent realm are ants."
Seeing the obvious shock on her face, Anna and Eve went to her side and hugged the more than one head taller dragoness, ignoring their injuries. "Don't worry, young miss; we are here to protect you. Unless we die, young miss will remain unscratched!"
Yasenia hugged them back and took a deep breath, trying to relax, but this filled her nostrils with the scent of burning flesh, land, and air. However, she managed to put her body reactions under control and looked at her dears. All of them were still registering the catastrophic consequences of that attack.
With now confident steps, trying to hide her own fear, she approached them and hugged them all, using her tail and arms. Andrea and Cecile weren't that affected, but the same wasn't true for the other three. Trying to change their focus to something else, Yasenia said, "Look, it seems that mom is about to start fighting-"
However, countless howls and roars interrupted her. The mass of demons that were on wait far away charged forward without giving Yasenia and the rest a chance to relax. On the battlefield, the only way to relax was death! The rest of the maids prepared to defend their mistresses.
Since the explosion happened on the mountain's north side, and the demons were positioned south, there was ground to walk toward the Ice Nirvana Mountain.
The sheer quantity of creatures made the earth tremble with their steps. They had a single high-level Demon Queen in front of them, using her powers to solidify the ground and make it easier for the army to reach the Phoenix Mountain. The only mountain that was still standing.
The mass of creatures was so dense that they seemed to consume the land as they approached the mountain.
The fourth and fifth-ranked phoenixes prepared to defend their home.
The Demons prepared to attack their would-be home.
The hundreds of thousands of ice Phoenix cried in unison, filling the air with their melodic voice.
The tens of millions of demons howled and roared, answering with their own battle cry!
The mass of demons and phoenixes approached. Then, the armies collided.
Ice and wind spells appeared everywhere, consuming the demons, and the demons answered with fire, darkness, and magma spells, creating explosions through the battlefield. The demons overwhelmed the phoenixes in numbers, but the overall strength of the Phoenix was higher.
The phoenixes managed to form a defensive perimeter with the use of defensive skills, Making use of this discrepancy in strength. However, this didn't lower the brutality of the unfolding chaotic battle.
A demon jumped on a Phoenix's back, ripping its wing off and making it cry in pain. But another Phoenix defended it, hitting the demon with his wing and blasting it into bits. This was followed by a demoness that appeared below the injured Phoenix, piercing upward with a spear and carrying a geyser of flames, charring that Phoenix's chest. However, before the spear delivered the final hit, the sharp talons of another Phoenix pierced her chest, ripping her into pieces.
A big Phoenix on the verge of advancing to the sixth rank was using a breath attack on another place, freezing hordes of demons, and other phoenixes flapped their wings, creating ice vortexes and gales.
The strong Phoenix suddenly got tackled by the side, making it fall toward the demon mass below. It got swarmed by the demons, and blood splashed everywhere. But with a mighty cry, its aura exploded, blasting the demons away, showing his now injured body.
There were also strong demons. However, they aimed toward the biggest phoenix present, Feng Guoshi. He was locked in a fight against the high-level Demon Queen and other strong demons, careful not to kill Yasenia by mistake.
Moreover, since he was near Yasenia to protect her, a lot of the battles happened near them.
Anna and Eve joined the fight, showcasing their transcendent power. Giant laser beams and enormous roots lashed everywhere, destroying hordes of foolish demons that tried approaching their young miss.
A demon aimed directly at Yasenia with a claw and-
*SLASH!*
Anna bisected the demon and shouted, "Filth! How dare you aim your claws at my Young miss! [NAUTRE'S EMBRACE]!"
Ten titanic roots grew from the floor, trapping a ten-kilometer area filled with demons, then they collapsed, flattening every single one of them.
Eve coldly chanted, "[Thousand Devouring Flowers]."
One-hundred-meter tall plants with mouths filled with serrated teeth grew around, devouring the demons. They feed on them to multiply and spread at terrifying speed around the battlefield, creating an absolute massacre. Then, Eve and Anna used their light attribute to make the plants' metabolism kick in and reproduce at a much higher rate.
These two transcendent level women were a big reason the demons didn't overwhelm the phoenixes yet.
Meanwhile, the personal maids weren't left behind!
Selena was carrying a giant shield and sword. She slithered rapidly toward a demon charging toward them. The five-meter-tall demoness swung her giant Ax!
*CLANG!*
Only to be repelled badly by Selena; Selena didn't even move! Then she lashed with her red-colored tail, hitting the demoness's side and bending her body with a sickening sound of flesh exploding.
Countless projectiles fired toward Yasenia's group rapidly. Selena flashed and appeared before them. Her shield hand blurred as she blocked every attack, avoiding any damage to befall them. Another demon approached, and she just rammed it with her shield, literally exploding it into fleshy bits!
Selena slithered through the rain of flesh, reaching a group of ten demons that were nearing them. They sent ranged flame attacks, but Selena's body flashed as she blocked with her shield or resilient scaled tail.
*CLANG!* *CLANG!* *CLANG!* *CLANG!*
Selena swung her sword, sending a horizontal glass crescent that cut the demons in half. A ten-meter demon approached, and Selena slithered toward it, blocking the hammer that was bigger than her human half.
*BANG!*
The ground lifted, and Selena smirked. While she was smirking, Alaia appeared from behind Selena, like a bolt of yellow lighting, and pierced through the demon's chest, making an "Alaia-sized" hole through it.
The dragoness extended her left wing and made a sharp turn, charging through other demons and creating wide holes with her spear.
Alaia spun the spear and landed it at the side of another demon, creating a sickening sound of bones breaking. She flew above a big group and opened her mouth; an obscene amount of energy gathered and then released in a devastating attack.
*BOOM!*
Her light and lightning dragon breath scorched kilometers in front of Alaia. She flashed toward another group being retained by Selena. It was clear that her speed and strength were absurd as she sent her opponents flying. She continued coordinating with Selena, and the duo harvested lives left and right without letting a chance to the demons retaliate.
Flora walked slowly as she summoned an army of plant creatures, from bipedal to quadrupedal, human-sized to sky-scraper sized, and sent them to assist Selena and Alaia. They multiplied endlessly as they swarmed the demons and consumed them.
When any of the maids got injured, she would send a life energy wave, healing them over time. Her battlefield control and awareness were on a superior level as she timely helped with defensive root walls, avoiding most of the damage.
Clara used Flora's summons to move around with her bow in hand, delivering lethal arrows to the heads of one demon after another. Then, she charged an attack and shot an arrow upwards; it exploded and made the sky darker as countless arrows rained on the demons. While the arrows rained, she shot, jumped, and spun in the air, raining death from above with cold eyes. Her kill count was second only to Flora.
Meanwhile, Leila walked with a gentle smile toward a group of demons and summoned her weapon, an ominous black halberd. The demons charged at her.
Leila stomped the ground, and it sunk several meters in front of her, elevating the ground that the demons were on and sending them flying. While they were in the air, her eyes flashed as she jumped toward them, making the ground below her explode. Flames danced around her halberd, and her arm moved, making it disappear and appear again. In the next second, all the airborne demons split into flesh bricks and then became ashes. She saw another group approaching, and she waved her left hand, sending a one-kilometer tsunami of molten metal.
Yasenia and the rest watched in awe as the maids dominated the battlefield, fighting off the hordes of demons fearlessly and harvesting lives left and right.
Tatyana and the other 30 Demon Monarchs were in the air, watching everything unfold. After seeing that Yasenia was still safe after that formation broke, Tatyana looked at Horux and asked, "You won't attack? I've been waiting here quite some time already."
Horux was also observing the battlefield and frowning slightly. 'Those maids are killing too many demons... And Guriosha seems on the losing side against that Phoenix.'
Horux communicated mentally, "Rorosh, go fight those two transcendent level maids; they are causing too much damage. At this pace, we won't have low-level demons even if we win."
Horux turned toward Tatyana and said, "I don't know how strong you are. Attacking you blindly would be stupid."
Tatyana looked at the demon King that shot toward Anna and Eve and smiled, "Where are you going big guy? [Fated Death]."
Tatyana cut a white fate string and turned her attention toward Horux. Horux didn't understand what she did, but Rorosh was able to go and start fighting with Anna and Eve.
Tatyana nodded at his previous comment and said playfully, "That is why you are trying to build a trapping formation around me sneakily? It is not a bad-"
Horux had appeared before Tatyana almost instantly, but Tatyana took out her [Death Dragon Bone Sword] and blocked it.
*CLANG!*
The collision of the five-meter longsword and Tatyana's longsword created a shockwave that moved all the ash flying around.
Tatyana looked at him and said with a smirk, "So hasty~. I was about to compliment the formation~."
Horux's sword blurred as he repeatedly slashed toward Tatyana. Tatyana blocked all his strikes without moving from her floating place. Horux frowned, 'Even if I'm not going full strength, she is blocking too easily.'
Tatyana swung her sword a little stronger, and *BANG!* After a heavier collision, Horux was sent flying backward 10 km with hurting arms. Tatyana stopped her games, and her disposition changed, releasing a tyrannical aura fitting of a ruler.
Her aura washed over the 29 demons before her as she said coldly, "To be honest, I wasn't going to participate in this war. I was going to bunker up in the Academy and see the events unfold without interfering. However, you had to target my little treasure's [Soulmate]. Death is too cheap for you."
