Chapter 441 Flames
"Alice was still smiling to herself when her instincts suddenly had her looking at Dorian and it wasn't because it felt threatened, but rather because it felt challenged.
At first, Alice hadn't bothered much with Dorian's thoughts and actions.
Intuitively, Alice could gauge Dorian's strength, and from what she could feel, the woman who once terrorized her dreams was far from being a match or a threat to her.
With a sense of superiority already bubbling in her, Alice sought to mock and break Dorian.
She perceived the woman as a toy for her to play with, however, with the feeling she was suddenly getting from the woman, it seemed her plans would have to be changed.
Looking straight into Dorian's eyes, Alice saw a flame lit up, one which actually contained a rather fierce confidence, but rather than being angry, Alice instead smiled.
'The dog decided to bare its teeth, too bad you're still a foolish puppy.'
'Enough with the talking. If you've turned masochistic and now enjoy being beaten, then I won't deny you your pleasurable pain,' Dorian said with a sneer.
'Good,' Alice replied with a smile and took a step forward, then bent her head to the side and tapped her neck.
'Here, drink some blood and get yourself a new arm. I would prefer you don't have a reason to console yourself after I beat you.'
'Ballsy,' Dorian said, but then she shook her head. 'I would rather you remain in tip-top form. Keep your blood, I'll go get something better,' Dorian said and shot off, speeding her way towards the group that had been watching them, and the next thing everyone knew, she was kneeling beside the sitting Seth, holding his arm like it was some rare treasure, and sinking her fangs into it.
This series of events had Sonia and Adriana looking at Dorian, and then a sceptical Seth also looking at Dorian.
'When did I become a blood bank?' Seth grumbled, but no one paid attention to his plight, their eyes instead were on Dorian, watching as flesh began rapidly growing from the stump of her right shoulder, a fresh new arm popping out within a minute.
'Not bad,' Seth said, nodding his head in acknowledgement of Dorian's regeneration abilities, though in the end, he couldn't be awed by it, considering he was already growing body limbs while still at that soldier-level stage, and that was with the blood of low-level cultivators.
Seth said nothing to the woman, letting her have her fill, and then watching as she shot back towards Alice with an aura that sent the air churning.
'Seth, you're just going to let this happen,' Adriana said, her mind running through several scenarios, the woman looking hysterical but unable to do anything, especially with Seth's hand still gripping her chest."
"Yeah, I mean I know you don't particularly have a lot of care for the people, but we're still talking about lives here. You can't just throw them away because of a disagreement between two people."
'Perhaps, but you're not thinking about me. Perhaps it just isn't because two people are squabbling, it could also be for my entertainment.
I want to see Dorian pushed to her limits and go beyond, while for Alice, I want to see just what this transformation of hers is capable of. Now, both of you be quiet and watch.'
Sonia and Adriana, who were both beside Seth, completely disagreed with his words, but what could they do but do as the tyrant said?
........
Clenching and unclenching her fingers, a fully healed Dorian sped towards Alice. Seeing the woman send her a wide smile, she returned it in kind.
As she rapidly closed the distance between them, just a few steps away, she smashed her feet on the ground, sending the land around them shattering and flying into the air.
Alice, who was taken aback by Dorian's move, was left looking around, wondering what Dorian was up to, but before she could do anything, Dorian's umbrella appeared in her hand, and she then swung it at Alice.
Her action dislodged more of the ground and sent it and the rocks already in the air hurtling at Alice.
'Hmmph, just what does she think she's going to accomplish with this?' Alice thought. Sending the boiling energy within her body flowing out and creating a powerful wind in front of her.
'Oh, a dust cloud, is she trying to hide her movements inside one?' Alice thought when she noticed Dorian's aura suddenly disappear.
'How do I find her? Ahh yes, my soulsense.'
Dorian had just gotten this thought when a feeling of danger suddenly hit her, the shock of such an emotion engulfing her in a? second of shock, then panic as she began trying to look through the dust with her eyes for it.
Before Alexia could remember to use her soulsense once more, she swiftly turned around to face a sudden danger, her eyes picking up a wave of red scorching flames, which towered over already close to and speeding towards her, leaving her only able to cross her hands in front of her in defence.
For a moment, there was silence from both the observers and Dorian as they watched Alice being consumed by what was the strongest flame the earth might have ever seen.
A huge explosion rose into the sky from the collision. Its sound thundered for miles and shook the earth, seeming like it would last for eternity.
Seconds and minutes later, when the effects of this world-shaking attack calmed down, everyone was left having their soulsense out and sweeping.
'Though he could have stopped her, Seth only sighed as Adriana broke out of his grip and stood up. "Where are they? I can't see anyone," Adriana complained, her soulsense unable to pick up either Alice's or Dorian's signature from inside the dust cloud.'
'Don't worry, Dorian is okay,' Seth said and then went mum.
'And Alice...,' Adriana worriedly asked.
'Well, the woman is,' Seth began, but then he paused, his eyes narrowing at the dust cloud before him and grimacing as groans, screams, and heavy punches began emanating from it.'
