Chapter 1401 1258: Yama's Eye
Let's us rewind time back a bit. It happened before the matriarch's meeting. Sakuya who had finished massacring the dark elves. She got an epiphany on the moment.
An unfamiliar sword technique appeared in Sakuya's mind, that was slowly being comprehended and grasped by her. She gained a special attribute related to her left eye.
[Yama's Eye: Level 1: Iris Sword, Instant Ability]
[Instantly unleash 36 consecutive sword attacks; if it gets blocked, then unleash 72 consecutive strikes; if it gets blocked, then unleash 144 consecutive strikes; so on and so forth. Every Iris Sword will be stronger than the last, continuing until 1000 strikes]
[Indefinitely flows]
Sakuya was a bit surprised.
She was trying to create a new sword's skill related to Sakura, unexpectedly she gained another skill an awesome special eye ability.
'I wonder how powerful this Sword Skill is.'
Right as Sakuya was thinking that, she heard the fully-armored dark elves shout:
Somehow, she was surrounded by some brain dead dark elves who couldn't differentiate between pebbles and mountain.
"You muderer your death is imminent, stop resisting and surrender!"
Sakuya blankly turned to that dark elf.
——there's a perfect target right here, isn't there?
With that thought in mind, she triggered the sword skill, her special ability as her left eye gave off an immense flow of sword phantoms.
Instantly——
A total of 36 sharp fluctuations appeared at the same time, slashing towards the armored dark.
The wraith was caught by surprise, but he still hurriedly wielded a quarterstaff to protect himself.
Clang clang clang clang clang clang!
The sound of numerous strikes hit the quarterstaff, sending the wraith spiraling backwards as if he was struck by a huge impact.
——there was truly some merit to him, being chosen as the wraith's leader during such an operation, as he actually managed to stop 36 strikes in a row.
Unfortunately…
As soon as the first 36 strikes faded away, another 72 sharp fluctuations manifested and violently slashed towards the wraith.
The dark elf was frightened, but still swung the war hammer in his hand and shouted: "Petty tricks——-"
Bam!
The first fluctuation struck the war hammer, this time giving off a resounding noise.
——the strikes were stronger this time!
Instantly, the wraith's figure was sent flying towards the distant horizon like a small black dot.
At the end of their visions, countless sword phantoms struck the war hammer one after another.
The war hammer was finally unable to endure the impact and broke in half.
The dark elf was instantly slashed into a mist of blood by the invisible fluctuations before being blown away by the night wind.
Complete silence.
The dark elves didn't even see Sakuya.
They only heard the their completing one sentence before being sent flying.
On the other hand, Sakuya silently nodded.
After unleashing this Iris Sword Divine Skill, she instantly understood.
'This Yama's Eye ability is very powerful but its consumption is also considerable, using up 20% of my magic power power in an instant.'
Sakuya silently nodded and muttered to herself: "He's quite strong, being able to stop 107 strikes from me, he was certainly qualified to lead your group of losers."
As soon as Sakuya said that, the numerous dark elves around snapped out of their shock.
"Detestable, kill him!" one of the them shouted.
"Charge!"
"Kill him!"
Right as they were about to attack, Sakuya appeared as if she sensed something and firmly shouted:
"Wait—— everybody halt! Stop your hands!"
And those ouldn't help but pause.
Sakuya's expression was extremely serious as she shouted to everyone.
"Listen carefully! You definitely cannot attack me all at once!"
She appeared extremely anxious as if there was some sort of severe issue with doing that.
Everyone couldn't help but think.
Could there still be some sort of unknown circumstances?
One of the dark elves couldn't help but question: "Why can't we attack?"
Sakuya looked up at the numerous enemies in the surrounding, answering them with a serious expression: "Because if you all attack me at once, I will die"
The dark elves froze, their minds quickly turning.
What he said… was true.
But we're here to take your life.
Damn
it!
Do you not understand your situation!?
The dark elves were enraged and attacked all together but Sakuya smiled before unleashing dimensional slash. Killing most of the enemy with one slash.
''Hahaha! Come some more let's color the earth with your blood.''
The frightened dark elves escaped, two of them stayed behind to buy others some time. He attacked but Sakuya put away her sword and responded with a martial arts. She used Chorea-Crava.
Chorea-Crava is a offensive martial art that focuses on clobbering your opponent by patiently waiting for an opening before unleashing your power swiftly. The primary focus lies on both pressure points and punches and it often relies on the strength and agility of the defender.
The biggest strength of Chorea-Crava is the high amounts of energy put behind every single strike. By capitalizing the pressure points of both fighters your opponent can be thrown off balance, allowing you to become an overwhelming force.
On the other hand the biggest weakness of Chorea-Crava is that it often requires the opponent to make the first move. If you're facing an opponent that doesn't your own strengths may prove to be lacking.
''!"
Bam!
Bursts of tearing pain pulsed through their head. Their head felt heavy and they could feel dizziness starting to kick in. Every part of their being ached for an answer to this feeling of misery and any answer that could bring relief was one worth considering. Several voices echoed through their head. Some telling them everything will be fine, others telling them it won't be.
It became harder and harder to swallow the pain, to ignore the sensations and the voices telling them to stop. However, there wasn't much they could do when facing the devil incarnate in the form of black haired beauty. She wouldn't let them take out medicine to treat themselves.
As expected Sakuya wouldn't let them go.
''Boring!"
Sakuya performed a QuickDraw beheading the two with a single slash.
''Tch!"
She clicked her tongue before vanishing to go join the others.
°°°°°°
Soon the quarrels between the three parties reached the point where they were about to break into a fight. They didn't even think that their actions had shattered everyone's morale. The dark elves who were stationed in the family premises were already feeling anxious over the constant reports of failure. And now, after learning just how terrifying and powerful the enemies were, they turned as white as a sheet. If it weren't for the exceptionally stern rules of the dark elves, perhaps they would have already made their escape. Even though they stayed around, their morale dived. It was almost certain that if the three parties were to break out into a fight, perhaps many of them would turn around and flee right away.
"Alright, shut up, all of you!"
Nilerea returned to her senses and snarled, realizing that the situation was far from good.
Fortunately for her, she was the matriarch of the fifth family and her prestige hadn't completely gone down the drain yet. Upon hearing her rage, the dark elf mages in heated arguments and about punches at naysayers to protect the image of their idols.
But the problem was that they had no form of 'worship' toward to roll up their sleeves for a fist fight closed their wide-open mouths. They looked at one another anxiously. After venting their frustrations, the dark elves also knew that they were wrong to behave this way. They acted simply like moronic fans who hurled punches at naysayers to protect the image of their idols.
But the problem was that they had no form of 'worship' toward those enemies at all.
'What should we do?'
Nilerea kept considering this question. She hesitated whether she should pull out her forces, but even she wasn't aware whether she could do it in time. She also didn't know whether she held the authority to negotiate with the enemies because they were simply too powerful. Besides, judging from the situation, negotiation didn't seem to be able to bring the enemies any benefits. So what if she were to give them countless compensations? The enemies were still capable of barging into the treasure house of the fourth family and pillaging everything inside, wasn't it?
No matter what the situation seemed helpless. It was then one of the matriarchs opened her mouth and suggested.
''Let's just have them go to that 'place'.''
Red, straight hair tight in a ponytail reveals a thin, frowning face. Glinting blue eyes, set gracefully within their sockets, watch enthusiastically over the wildlife they've been isolated from for so long.
An old tattoo of a bear paw is subtly placed on the side of her left cheekbone and leaves a painful burden of redemption.
The is the face of Faith Evatt, a true pioneer among giants. She stands common among others, despite her delicate frame.
There's something obscure about her, perhaps it's her sensitivity or perhaps it's simply her odd friends.
She is the matriarch of the seventh family.
''You can't be seriously suggesting that?" Another matriarch shouted.
