--- Chapter 131 ---
Once upon a time.
A young child was chased away by her father and watched her mother die in an incident. She survived and forged her path to a higher realm, surpassing limits beyond the world's standard.
In just seven years, she achieved a strength that tapped into the Realm of Gods. People say she was a genius, but none of these are possible without a particular person.
A person who saved her from an unwanted tragedy, the person she loved the most in this world. No amount of words could describe her feelings for this person.
Her Lord.
Her God.
Her Fiance.
Her Master.
"Huo Yuhao..." Qianye Ying'er breathed in and felt the atmosphere around her.
She gradually looked down to the ground and saw a handsome young man with black-framed glasses. It does make him look less attractive but adds a nerdy charm that she doesn't dislike.
A saint always prays to god.
However, now someone dares to steal God's affection away.
Blasphemous, it is.
That's why Qianye Ying'er will show the difference between a faker and a faithful follower of the religion.
"Are you ready, blue lizard?" Qianye Ying'er breathed out, igniting her spirit energy up to 50%.
"That should be my word, blonde bitch." Tiamat growled while manifesting a pair of leathery wings on her back.
"Huh??"
Tiamat blinked once and suddenly crashed on the mountain a mile away from the Astaroth Clan. She doesn't even know how this happens to her.
An intense sensation seared Tiamat's right cheek with a palm mark left behind by Qianye Ying'er.
"Damn..." Tiamat looked up.
She saw Qianye Ying'er casually hovering in the air with two beautiful wings with golden feathers. These wings are much different than the angel wings of this world because a draconic aura faintly emitted from them.
Not to mention the amethyst-colored eyes, which now have gained dragon-like pupils. These transformations complimented the half-angel white mask on her face.
"Why? Shocked?" Qianye Ying'er mocked.
"Then, let's see how you dodge this next."
A literal attack with light speed approached Tiamat, chasing the Chaos Karma Dragon. And that's just a concentrated ball of energy launched by Qianye Ying'er.
BOOM!
A pillar of light soared to the sky.
The mountain disappeared from the face of the Underworld.
"That attack was a surprise, but I'll get serious too." Tiamat sucked a cold breath and wiped the saliva on her lips.
Qianye Ying'er smirked and replied, "Do your worst."
BOOM!
The Dragon and Saintess clashed in the sky, causing a sonic boom and flashing shadows.
Qianye Ying'er amethyst eyes observed Tiamat and dodged every attack with ease. She could read the path of her attack and predict every incoming one, allowing her to counter everything.
Meanwhile, Tiamat was furious.
None of her attacks ever reached this woman.
Tiamat's punches and kicks are faster than sound, but no matter how much she tries, Qianye Ying'er evades them smoothly.
Qianye Ying'er is not a soft person.
She delivered her counter with scary precision and dealt internal damage with the Armament Haki. She has disabled at least 2 or 3 internal organs in the last few contacts.
BAM!
Qianye Ying'er kicked Tiamat's stomach and sent her down to the ground, causing web-like cracks over 500 meters. Unlike Huo Yuhao, she only has some seals.
Her strength might not be on par with people like Huo Yun'er and Scathach, but Qianye Ying'er was "firmly." regarded as one of the most powerful women in the Dragon Nest.
Cough! Cough!
Tiamat coughed profusely and groaned, "When did such a monster appear in this world? It isn't normal."
"What's wrong?" Qianye Ying'er lazily flaunted her finger.
"Are you tired? Why don't you give for being on Yuhao's side."
"A small lizard-like you would only hinder Dragon Nest. We raise a dragon, not a reptile."
"Hubby is the only reason I am still alive to this moment." Tiamat gritted her teeth. "I won't give up."
"My love for him is real."
"Hmph, you barely know him." Qianye Ying'er sneered in disgust.
Tiamat returned to her dragon form and released a piercing dragon roar that echoed everywhere. She inhaled air and magical energy, igniting them in her lungs.
ROAR!
A fiery breath spread over the sky and covered more than 1-kilometer square of land in hot temperature. It doesn't just burn but drowns horrible things into a karmic cycle.
Qianye Ying'er looked at this attack and pushed her palm forward, "My lord, here I pray. Cover the earth and heaven with your light."
BOOM!
A series of Spirit Rings manifested in the red sky and was "immediately." followed by a golden cube that smashed the Tiamat's fiery breath down.
The shockwave flattened the land, causing massive destruction.
The land split into seven with a crater shaped like a squire in the middle.
"DON'T FUCKING LOOK DOWN ON ME!" Tiamat roared with all her might.
"I'M THE CHAOS KARMA DRAGON, TIAMAT!!"
CRACK! BOOM!
The light cube was shattered from the bottom, revealing a half-injured Blue Western Dragon. Despite the injury, Tiamat's face was "cheekily." plastered with a smug expression.
ROAR!
Tiamat jumped up and rolled her body, swinging the sharp claw at Qianye Ying'er.
Clank!
"Fast." Qianye Ying'er summoned her battle flag and parried the claw away. "And heavier than before..."
"Well, in that form, understandable."
"You're talking too much!" Tiamat's massive figure vanished.
BAM!
Qianye Ying'er returned to the Astaroth Clan and got struck in the main castle where all pure-blooded Astaroth lived. She was surprised because Tiamat's speed increased abruptly.
Drip!
Fresh blood fell from her left ear.
"Haa..." Qianye Ying'er touched the warm blood and smiled because her opponent wasn't so bad.
"Brahma Soul Bell is useless in this kind of fight."
"Well, the Holy Dragon Battle Flag is enough."
She stepped out of the rubble and glanced at the trembling young-looking devil. "Ah, you are..."
"Diodora Astaroth."
"Take your time there. I'll be back in a few minutes."
"Also, don't run away... I have placed a holy field in this castle."
Qianye Ying'er quickly flashed out of the Astaroth Castle and faced Tiamat again. The Chaos Karma Dragon has never been so solemn in her entire life.
Before this woman, Tiamat didn't want to lose.
"Universal Breathing Technique, 100% Spirit Circuits." Qianye Ying'er appeared with a full white mask. It's still the same angel mask but with twisted wings spread out a few inches.
Dragon scales grew under Qianye Ying'er eyes, developing on her chest to the end of her fingers. Sharp claws reformed as her entire left side dragonized.
She picked the Holy Dragon Battle Flag and swayed it around, forming an untangled thread of lights in the sky. It kept expanding until the blinding golden shine covered everything.
The devil felt searing pain just staring at this scene, so Huo Yuhao had to take this matter with his hand and formed a barrier with the Primordial Rune.
"How terrifying..." Kuroka solemnly commented.
"Is this the power of Darling's homeworld?"
"Still, to think such a playful-looking and flirty girl has this side."
Grayfia heard Kuroka's comment and released a cold sweat, remembering her first encounter with Qianye Ying'er. At that moment, the golden-haired lady could have burned her devil's body with this intense light energy.
"She hasn't gone all out. I could feel something is missing," Ophis commented while chewing her candy.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "All Dragon Nest members who entered this world with me are "primarily." equipped with a tool. A tool to kill a god."
"It's not a Sacred Gear, but it could act like one. It doesn't have flashy ability except granting the wielder a power beyond the mortal standard, reaching the Realm of God."
"Qianye Ying'er doesn't want to use it."
" And she wouldn't use it."
"This battle, our breathing technique is more than enough." He looked at the beautiful lady shining in the sky. She looked like the incarnation of the Goddess, descending to the world.
Tiamat roared and bashed her body against Qianye Ying'er, causing a booming sound.
BAM!
It washes everything outside of Huo Yuhao's barrier into a hurricane.
"ARRGGHHH!!" Tiamat felt a pain in her wing.
"A mere lizard..." Qianye Ying'er finger dug deep into Tiamat's flesh and lifted it above her head. The Dragon rolled over the Astaroth Castle and was thrown away like a ragdoll.
The force one had to possess to lift a living dragon is insane, but Qianye Ying'er did that so casually. Is this the true power of the Universal Breathing Technique coupled with Spirit Circuits?
Qianye Ying'er kicked the air and leaped toward Tiamat, clenching her hand into a fist. Her Conqueror Haki and Armament Haki melted into one, creating a unique golden color when meeting with the light element.
Tiamat fought back and flapped her wings. She looked at Qianye Ying'er and opened her for the second time, but now with greater firepower.
She stored enough energy to blast a part of the earth away.
"CHAOS KARMA FLAME!"
A bright blue flame exploded from Tiamat's mouth.
Qianye Ying'er brushed her Holy Dragon Battle Flag and brandished the flag to its full glory. She summoned a massive white-scaled dragon and flipped the pole in her hand.
"El Cero..." A technique Qianye Ying'er learned not too long ago. It combined her spirit skill and natural light in the atmosphere, causing a rapid reaction to the light wave.
A brilliant golden wave escaped the summoned white-scaled Dragon's mouth and crashed with Tiamat's final attack.
BOOOOOM!
El Cero pushed the blue flame away and swept over Tiamat's dragon body. She couldn't even react and got swallowed by Qianye Ying'er new attack.
Tiamat landed on the lake with a scorched body and fainted from the excessive damage.
"Not bad. I shall take you as the new member of the cult." Qianye Ying'er commented while deactivating her transformation. She breathed out to calm her Spirit Circuits because she hadn't reached the last stage like Scathach and Huo Yuhao.
She flicked her finger and healed Tiamat's body, "You still have a lot to learn, young follower."
"Anyway, Let me handle that bastard." Qianye Ying'er moved her gaze back to the Astaroth Clan.
Diodora shivered in fear and felt a tap on his shoulder, turning around to find Qianye Ying'er.
"You're dead, Mr. Trash." Qianye Ying'er punched him twice. Diodora would get judged by the Vatican for his wrongdoings in the last couple of years.
