Tatyana then asked Cecile to go with the two S.L.U.T. fans to find the others and see if they were still around.
Cecile nodded and left together with Kali. Kali was now one of the strongest combatants, as she had increased a level and multiplied her might.
Moreover, the recently nourished Valeria was extremely powerful. As she was now, she could best Tatyana or Mirrory.
"Kali, we need to exit from Torrent City stealthily. Do you or Valeria have any stealth spells? I can more or less distort the space around us, but any strong cultivators can see through my stealth easily."
Kali shook her head. "I don't have any. What about you, Valeria?"
Valeria commented. "I could summon a plant that's an expert in that if you want. However, if I were not here, how would you leave this City silently, Cecile?"
Cecile answered. "I have a few formations made by Angel. Even If there were no formations to help me, I've mastered my space skills enough to teleport to a distant point. I can't move other people with me yet, but I could move on my own."
Valeria nodded. "That's really good. What is the distance of your skill?"
Cecile commented. "If I'm mid-combat, my [Blink] skill can instantly move me between a hundred and five hundred meters. It depends on the energy fluctuations on the battlefield. With unlimited time, I hit my maximum distance in about five minutes, about twenty kilometers."
"Very good. Please wait for a second until I summon it. That way, you don't have to spend the stealth formations you have."
The two S.L.U.T. members behind them also stayed silent.
After a few seconds, Valeria's voice sounded like a distant yet all-reaching whisper. "[Nature Queen's Parade: Ethereal Blossom]."
They saw the space before their eyes fluctuate, but they felt nothing. It would've been impossible to sense if they weren't looking right at that point.
Cecile and Kali blinked and looked around, not seeing anything.
"Cecile, Kali, do you see anything?" Questioned fan number one.
"I also can't see anything." Commented fan number two.
Cecile asked. "Um, Valeria, are we hidden?"
"Hm? Of course, don't you see that little thing creating an aura around you two?"
They couldn't help but feel the enormous difference in strength right at that moment.
If Valeria used this thing to sneak attack them, they would be dead before they could have even reacted.
Kali coughed. "We can't see it, Valeria."
"Oh? Show yourself for them to see, child."
The space before they distorted again as a cute human-shaped grey plant monster appeared. It had a leaf-woven cape that hid its body, only showing its face.
The face was simple, with big black pearly eyes, a small mouth, and a cute bob of black leaves as hair. It complemented the grey body quite nicely.
It was a bit creepy but very cute. Kali wanted to pat it. "It is so cute~."
"Cute?" Valeria asked.
Cecile nodded. "Well, it looks good."
"Open your mouth, [Ethereal Blossom]."
The four of them saw the body tear apart from the middle as an enormous mouth filled with salivating razor-sharp teeth appeared.
Their hearts almost jumped out of their chest.
"[Ethereal Blossom] is a plant that hides and then swallows its prey whole, mincing them with their powerful maws. It can probably pierce through Yasenia's scales in her dragon form."
Kali's intention to pet the cute thing disappeared like smoke.
"S-Should we go, Valeria?"
"Eh? I thought you wanted to pat it."
"Don't worry. I don't feel like it anymore."
One thing was looking past appearances. The other was not feeling horrified when a horror out of a nightmare opened its scary mouth right before you.
"I see. Then, let's go."
They walked outside the inn and saw that everyone was ignoring them.
The [Ethereal Blossom] approached a few beast humans, making our girls sweat, but Valeria would summon a spectral staff and smack its head before it opened its mouth. "I already told you that they are not food yet!"
Kali blinked. "Yet?"
Valeria laughed. "Well, dear Yasenia seems to intend to kill many beast humans. They can become fertilizer later."
The four looked at the little thing and subconsciously gave a prayer for the unfortunate people that would die in the [Ethereal Blossom]'s maw.
"However," Kali trailed her words as they observed the cute little thing skipping as the cape and leafy hair bobbed with its cheery steps. "…When the mouth is closed, it is adorable."
"Hm, I agree." Answered Cecile.
"I can't say no to that, Kali. Look how its hair jumps up and down, quite a cute little grey horrific monstrous thing."
"I never thought anything would be described with the combination of those adjectives, yet the little thing before us fits it perfectly."
With [Ethereal Blossom]'s help, they just walked out of the city.
Kali turned around and stupidly looked at the giant gate that led inside Torrent City. "Just like that?"
Cecile sighed. "Well, they are not our seniors for nothing."
Kali nodded. "You are right. We are quite lucky that we can learn from such powerful seniors."
Valeria giggled. "Oh, you girls, if you praise me so much, I'm going to blush."
Cecile blinked. "Do you blush red?"
"No, I think I become greener. I don't remember, in any case. It has been too long since I last blushed. I don't even remember why I blushed…."
Kali consoled her. "Well, you'll have many interactions with Yasenia and me, Valeria. I hope we make your heart skip a beat and make you feel bashful sometime soon, hahaha."
Valeria smiled. "Yes, I hope so too."
Cecile and Kali took out their flying swords, and Kali picked [Ethereal Blossom] after Valeria said it wouldn't bite her.
The two fans stood behind them and hugged their waists.
Then, while Kali carried the adorably monstrous [Ethereal Blossom], they sped toward where the other fans might be.
After flying for almost an hour, they reached where they were hiding not too long ago.
After all, these two had been captured only a few days before, so they might still be around.
After they arrived, one of them asked. "Cecile, Kali, do you have any communication devices? The normal ones that are sold at the Academy's shops."
Kali nodded. "I had to buy a few to test how to create ours. Here."
The woman smiled and took it. Then, she activated it and changed the energy signature to the one they used to communicate with each other.
After waiting a few seconds, the device's connecting sound was heard.
Kali smiled. "Oh, this is a pleasant surprise."
Cecile nodded. "Good news."
Then, the woman on the other side of the device said. "We love our Peerless Divine Dragoness."
Cecile's and Kali's smiling expressions broke, and they looked at the device, flabbergasted.
Yet, this was just the beginning.
The S.L.U.T. member beside them asked. "Do you love her, or do you like her?"
The other woman said with a solemn tone. "I want her children!"
Cecile almost broke something, and Kali began coughing.
Then, the person on the other side shouted. "Sister! You are back. I thought you were captured."
"I was captured, but a benefactor saved me. Guess who it is."
"Guess? How can I guess something like that? Are you stupid? Did they hit your head too hard?"
"Hahaha, today I don't care about your insults since it was Lady Yasenia herself who saved me!"
"…"
The other side was silent for a moment, and when Cecile and Kali thought the other person would scream in excitement, they heard a sniff and a person sobbing. 'What the hell?'
The woman cried. "Have they broken you so much during these three days that you started hallucinating!? Sister, come back to your senses! How could our Lady be here? We are not even in the same world!"
Then, while our girls were stunned, the woman said with righteous indignation. "Those bastards! I'm going to kill them for their sins! I swear on the Peerless tits of the Divine Peerless Celestial Dragoness of the skies that I'll cut off their dicks!"
Cecile's veins almost popped. "Shut up and quickly tell us where you are before I freeze you into an ice cube."
The woman said with a startled voice. "This cold voice that is enough to make oneself feel unworthy and also makes me want to end our miserable life… Cecile!?"
Kali burst into laughter and spoke softly. "Yes, we are here. Tell us your coordinates."
"Oh! This gentle and soft voice makes me want to be hugged and loved… Kali!"
Cecile almost threw the communication device flying. "Your position, quickly!"
"Right, right, we are hidden in a cave twenty kilometers in the direction of the fallen trees."
Cecile and Kali looked at the two fan members and saw them nod.
Then, they heard the woman speak. "By the way, we are fighting against a few beast humans."
Kali hastily asked for the two women to lead the way and followed behind. Then, she reprimanded the woman while running in that direction. "Why didn't you say it earlier? We are here to help you, not to speak about Yasenia's tits or anything like that!"
"Oh, we are holding up just fine. We should be able to kill them in another twenty minutes. Also, Kali, I know you can even suck them and drink from them, but her tits are a way of life for us."
Cecile was already numb and didn't react, while Kali looked at the device with a wry expression.
Cecile and Kali were surprised and arrived a minute later.
The scene was chaotic as a group of twenty-eight human women fought against five wounded Ape kin.
They had thick arms and strong bodies, and their cultivation was on the mid-level of the Ethereal Soul Body realm.
However, even before this strength, the twenty-eight girls worked with seamless cultivation as attacks of different elements flew and sliced into the five Ape kin.
The ape kin tried to punch a woman, but the woman jumped backward, another two taking her place to slip past the arm and swing their swords against his body.
The swords collided but only sliced superficial skin. The ape kin roared in anger and punched one of them when that one used a movement technique and easily avoided the hit. Then, another woman fell from the sky with fierce eyes as her sword shone with the brilliance of the light element.
The ape kin's face was sliced with a flash, but he managed to avoid losing his eye.
He was about to follow, but the floor beneath him sunk, making his standing platform collapse and his stance crumble. Darkness flowed from between the rocks and attacked the sliced skin, making the wounds larger.
The ape kin could not counterattack as a perfect combination of attack and defense interlocked into a beautiful constant assault.
Cecile and Kali didn't even hesitate to join the battle. "You two, hide and ambush from behind."
The two of them nodded and moved through the forest to a pincer attack them.
The five apes saw two beast humans, Kali and Cecile, approaching, and they laughed. "Humans, now you don't have a chance! With them added to us, you won't be able to last long enough."
Before anyone else could continue speaking, the forest's energy seemed to converge into a single point in the air as a three-meter-tall lady with a wooden staff appeared, wearing a gorgeous floral dress that showed her perfect curves without looking seductive.
She looked like the manifestation of nature, looking down at the world with her green eyes and golden slit pupils.
Her aura was gentle, profound, and all-encompassing but carried an undeniable majesty.
The staff she held with one arm looked ancient and elegant. It appeared like three branches coiling up and creating an open top with a golden sphere floating on top of it.
Valeria spun her staff as she flew down across the air. Then, together with her voice, a monstrous wave of Life energy covered the forest. "[Life Intent Level Nine], [Divine Spirit Empress Arts: Cradle of Life]."
The titanic wave of Life energy encompassed all twenty-eight women in an instant.
Their wounds and bodies instantly healed, and all the fatigue disappeared as all the girls fighting were bathed in the breath of the Spirit Queen.
Everyone but Kali and Cecile was so shocked that they stopped fighting momentarily.
The majesty and power Valeria commanded were utterly abnormal.
"Don't worry, children. With me here, you can't get hurt."
Valeria's voice seemed to encompass the world, making the twenty-eight women feel like they had a guardian goddess behind them.
"FIGHT!"
Their shout echoed as they charged toward the five Apes at fivefold their previous speeds, leaving behind green energy trails.
