Tatyana and the others saw from inside the dome as a wave of attacks that hid the sky for a second rained on them.
Small rocks, magma bolts, light beams, vines, and countless other attacks approached the formation quickly.
Of the one thousand people, two hundred and fifty prepared to run after the projectiles to attack the dome in close-quarters combat.
Ghana's face became ashen, but she didn't move because she could do nothing to stop it. Her eyes followed the trajectory of the attacks as she angrily thoughts inside her head. 'That stupid brain-muscles general. Why did I come here if not to take things slowly!? Did I give the attack signal!?'
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
Explosions filled the area around the house, covering the dome with the blasts occurring almost constantly.
Ghana and all the spectating powers looked closely, expecting the house to be in rubles.
Nevertheless, when the dust settled, the runic dome appeared completely intact before their eyes, as if nothing had landed on it.
The spectating powers felt their heart chilling. 'Who is their formation master? Can a formation set up in a week resist an attack like that?'
Yasenia was semi-conscious. Therefore, the loud explosion startled her.
Before the girls could tell her something, she forced her hurting body to stand up and asked in a hoarse voice. "What is happening? Are we being attacked?"
Hearing the cracking sounds of her body and the feeble voice as Yasenia forced herself to stand up made our girls anxious. Cecile hastily flew before the giant dragon's head and said. "Lay back down, my love. Don't worry, and leave it to us. You just have to focus on your transformation and not move. Otherwise, you will hurt yourself."
Yasenia frowned and was about to speak, but an electrifying pain weakened her legs, and her body slammed back down onto the ground quite loudly.
*Bang!*
The sound of Yasenia's body falling was like a hammer to their hearts, making their body twitch in pain.
Yasenia closed her eyes and said. "I'll trust you... But be careful... We can always choose another city... Also... Try not to kill as much as possible..."
They all comforted her while a silent wrath burned in their hearts. The fact that Yasenia stood up because of the sound made them irrationally angry at everyone outside. 'How dare they make our dragoness stand up when she suffers so much because of it!?'
They looked outside, and the previous hesitation about killing disappeared amid their bloodlust.
Thankfully, they heard Yasenia's words, so they didn't act rashly.
Even then, they wanted to slaughter everyone on the outside and allow their dear dragoness to rest assured and have a peaceful environment for the transformation.
Ghana sighed in relief and was about to order the soldiers not to charge when Tatyana's soul-chilling voice spread in the zone. "I've told you, don't force us. I've warned you we can't stop the ritual. I promised you'll regret it if you challenged my bottom line."
Tatyana floated on top of the dome and looked down at all the people.
The moment the Death Empress appeared, it felt as if the temperature in the surroundings had dropped, and the place around them looked more dark and ominous.
Amidst this dark feeling, the red eyes overflowing with red light felt like the gaze of death itself.
Tatyana's lips arched in a sneer. "I can't use my original summons because they are too strong. How about I make some new ones."
Then, she extended her hand, and Death Energy rushed toward her like crazy.
Black energy streams rushed toward her hand, creating an intricate, elegant, powerful-looking sword.
While looking at the white-dressed woman holding the black Death sword, the powers spectating clearly felt, for the first time, that they might have underestimated the unknown force.
Tatyana slashed her sword toward the one-thousand-creature army without saying anything, and the air before she exploded with a grating sound as a black crescent zoomed toward two hundred of the soldiers.
Before anyone could react, the sound of flesh being cut sounded, and the bodies of those who were touched by Tatyana's energy blade exploded in fleshy bits.
She had used a powerful [Death Intent] and [Slaughter Intent] in combination with an energy slash to create that effect.
The eyes of everyone present widened with pure fear as they looked at the messy and bloody part where people previously stood.
However, this was just the beginning. "[Death Absorption]. [All-Encompasing Undead Resurrection]."
As soon as Tatyana's phantasmal voice spread, all the energy from the people she had just killed rushed toward her, entering and nourishing her body. Then, death energy spiraled around the place of the massacre.
Meat chunks and blood seemed to go back in time as they reformed the people who had just died. However, their hair was white, and their eyes were a ghostly green.
Then, they all kneeled on one knee and shouted. "Long live the Death Empress!"
Following that, the meat of all of them fell from their bodies, only leaving a skeleton behind with phantasmal green flames int he empty eye sockets.
However, the aura of death in them increased, strengthening the creature.
The only creatures that could remain as fleshy creatures in Tatyana's army were those with great potential or those resurrected in the general rank.
Tatyana saw that all of them were useless in the long run, so she lost interest.
Then, her eyes turned toward the other petrified people.
If the instant assassination of hundreds wasn't enough to scare everyone, the subsequent mass resurrection and flesh loss were enough to plague the spectating creatures with nightmares for years.
Ghana had a small impression of this woman. Although her sense of presence seemed concealed, she was eye-catching, and her temperament was always gentle and tranquil.
However, looking at the floating Death God before her, she couldn't help but swallow, trying to moisten the throat that had become dry because of fear.
The girls inside the dome looked at the powerful Death Empress in awe.
Tatyana looked around and said. "We arrived in this City with good intentions. My masters don't want to be disturbed during this delicate time. We also didn't expect the ritual to get so out of control, so we intended to compensate the powers in the future."
The people gulped, but no one interrupted this person. Who knew if her sword would be directed at them the next time she swung it?
Tatyana continued with an eerily calm voice. "However, I see that the hospitality of this City is just this much. Forget about compensating. If any of you dares interrupt again. I'll massacre your powers in this City, leaving no one alive. This is our last warning."
Then, without waiting for an answer, the skeletal creatures dissolved into a black mist, floated inside Tatyana, and then the Death Empress re-entered the dome.
The spectators took a deep breath, only now realizing they had been holding their breath. Feeling the cold sweat and their sticky robes, all of them began trembling. 'T-That human is too terrifying. H-How strong must her masters be to control something like that?'
Ghana was hit the hardest since she had seen how tender and peaceful Tatyana could be. After understanding her powers, she felt like she had been walking around death closely this time.
Meanwhile, inside the dome, Kali asked with a respectful tone. "Mother-in-law, can we hold on until Yasenia finishes her transformation? Your deterrence might work on most of them, but larger powers might come later to bother us."
Tatyana answered with an eerily calm tone. "Unless a Dantian Spiritualization Realm expert comes to their aid, they can dream of scratching my formations. If such an expert comes and insists on bothering my little treasure..." Tatyana sneered.
They all looked at Tatyana and gulped.
Her posture was calm, but those eyes appeared to hold oceans of blood and massacre, giving them a strange feeling of fear, respect, and, let's be honest, arousal for a few of them.
Outside, Ghana came back to her senses and frowned deeply. She observed the trembling soldiers and sighed. 'As I expected, we can't deal with them. However...'
She looked at the energy rushing toward the Rune Dome and frowned. 'I just can't allow them to continue... What should I do?'
Ghana's eyes flashed with an idea and muttered. "Well, it's better than nothing."
She turned toward the remaining eight hundred soldiers and mentally communicated. "Call the top powers of our City. Say that the people doing damage are too strong for our Koran City to deal with, and unless they want to have their items destroyed, they should come and help. Inform them of our losses to incur urgency."
Ghana looked at those near her and continued. "A small team should inform the City Lord that we should not interfere again if he doesn't want this precious little City disappearing from the map..." Then, remembering Tatyana's skill, she said with a somber tone. "...Or worse. Now, go."
The remaining eight hundred soldiers spread around the City to communicate Ghana's order faster than they cam. Who would want to stay in the immediate area of these frightening people?
Ghana's order was like music to their ears!
The Harpy looked at the mansion for a long time and sighed. 'Although I really want to stay on good terms. I am currently the first secretary of this City. I have to be loyal and stop whatever you are doing since I can't guarantee the compensation you speak about is real.'
Ghana's face became tired, and she leaned on a nearby wall. 'Will you still accept me if I want to join you in the future? Will you blame me? Will you... survive the nine sects?'
Ghana looked down, and her hazel eyes became dispirited. "I hoped to become friends with all of you, but this is going too far. The livelihood of many will be affected even if you stop now, not to mention allowing you to carry on."
Tatyana and the others looked outside and saw movement. However, they didn't take the initiative. Their current position was very delicate, so they could only act on cue of whatever they threw to them.
An hour passed, and soon Tatyana and the others heard a voice from an old woman in the sky. "Juniors, stop whatever you are doing."
After looking up, they saw five people floating above their mansion in different flying treasures. They were three men and two women.
They could perceive the characteristical aura of peak-level Earth-ranked treasures when they observed the items they were flying on.
The sword below one of them was even more mighty at the low-level Heaven Rank.
The one who spoke was an old woman in green cultivation robes and sitting on a flying cauldron. Her aura was profound and powerful.
Just a look, and they understood that these people were on the high levels of the Ethereal Soul Body Realm.
Before Tatyana spoke, Kali's eyes flashed with an idea, and then she threw a pill toward the female elder who spoke.
It was a low-level Heaven-ranked pill.
The elderly woman caught the pill and looked at it for a moment. Then, her eyes shone with interest and surprise.
Kali spoke respectfully. "Senior, I can guess you all are from a powerful force since you dared approach even after our previous threats. However, we don't have any bad intentions, and our ritual has just gone awry. Nevertheless, it won't last another twenty-four hours (Tatyana, Mirrory, and Valeria speculated the time)."
"Sadly, what we are doing is impossible to stop, or the consequences would be dire (She can imagine Tatyana's anger). However, we can create things like these. I hope we can reach an agreement and not become irreconcilable enemies. The short-term losses will be incomparable to the future gains we can offer."
Ghana's face was filled with surprise and praise. 'I thought they could only be forceful, but it is clear that they know how to adapt depending on the strength of their opponents.'
The old woman was clearly an alchemist, so she asked with apparent interest. "How many of those can you create each year?"
Kali's lips arched. 'Since they are interested, we can salvage this situation with easy-to-create items.'
Kali looked at the others and saw that they all had understood her intentions rather quickly. 'As expected of those Yasenia chose, none are short-sighted.'
Tatyana said calmly. "What you are thinking is good. However, remember that we must act like a strong party."
Kali and the others nodded and looked at the people in the sky.
