Chapter 286: Chaos In Elf Kingdom, Destruction & Departure
The potential of any Super Exotic Element involving Life element was as expandable as it was compactable involving the Death element.
The Liviort element\'s base form was Liviort Sparks, bearing life-like tiny wispy spirits of ghastly white Mist and icy blue eyes.
They floated around Lily, their singularities hiding exotic combinations and potential of the Liviort element that Lily would soon explore, learn, and wield.
Amu also finished Maleina\'s training as she awakened her soul yesterday, and already being Royal-order halfway to the peak, Amu also got her to absorb the pool\'s benefits, granting her a total of 400 points of boost in Spirit stat.
On the other hand, Rin and Erix had the highest benefits from the pond as they got boosts in their Spirit stat and also progressed more in their elements.
They fully focused on their Super Exotic elements for the past two days, successfully reaching the 2nd realm in them from the 1st.
They were raring to begin their skill-creation training session by beginning their new adventure and going to the Pale Hunger Swamp but before that…
It was time to finish some business and cause the necessary chaos for their inner peace…right?
Inside the pond cavern…
"Some random baboon wanted to take the test, but whatever," Amu snorted. "I am starting. Can you hear me, Aria?"
Aria was at the Servant quarters in the palace where maids and other workers had their rooms for living.
She stood at the central hall and spread her spirit sense, sending her thoughts and calling everyone.
\'I am ready, Amu.\'
\'Alright,\' Amu replied before nodding at Erix.
Erix vanished from the cavern and appeared beside Aria since he had marked her with his Space Mark.
He gave her a thumb-sized silver cube with mystical white-blue patterns that he was preparing in the pond cavern.
"Here," Erix smiled and handed it to her. "Infuse your Prana, and it will activate. You know when to do."
"Mhm," Aria nodded, her eyes resolved.
Erix looked at her cute yet determined expression and laughed. Grabbing her waist and pulling her, he planted his lips on hers with a tight hug for a few seconds, kissing her intensely.
"Let\'s finish this and start your new journey," Erix grinned before he vanished, leaving Aria red-faced and heart-raced while also feeling all dippy and blissful.
"Young lady Aria, is there any special matter?"
"Why did you call us all here?"
Aria snapped out of her daze and coughed before she looked at everyone with a somber expression, "Everyone, please call other maids and servants that are not present here. This palace will be destroyed soon, within the next ten seconds."
Everyone was shocked.
"Hurry up. Nine seconds left."
…
Inside the pond cavern, Amu vanished while the pond started bubbling.
"You three, I know you\'ve gained significant power-up, but don\'t be reckless and hit someone you can\'t handle while you are causing wreckage," Lilith said with a serious expression.
"Just focus on those attacking you and ignore Empyrean-order hunters."
"Roger," Erix and Rin cheekily grinned with a salute.
"You also better not be late, sugar mommy," Rin added with a laugh before turning to Lily. "Let\'s start."
"Mhm," Lily smiled with a nod, using her new element right off the bad along with her \'Weave\' concept as she weaved a fine battle dress for her with wings.
Rin also entered her combat form before both of them left through the pond\'s entrance.
"Let\'s start," Lilith walked towards Erix as he grabbed her waist and side-hugged her before vanishing from the pond cavern and arriving on top of the palace, floating high up.
"Ten seconds up," Erix muttered before his eyes flashed, and he looked at the hill park ten kilometers from the palace, creating a five-meter diameter portal there.
Right as he created the portal, the maids and servers from the palace emerged from it speedily as they floated in the air, still confused.
But as they saw the palace from afar, their eyes widened.
*Trrr….*
A strange sound spread, signaling Lilith as Amu began to remove its foundation and shake up things from below the palace shook along with the whole city as an Earthquake started spreading.
Lilith\'s eyes flashed as she raised her right arm and conjured an orb.
That orb instantly became thirty meters in radius, gigantic and potent while attracting the attention of powerhouses.
But Lilith didn\'t hesitate as her eyes glinted. The giant dark red orb with sharp black patterns condensed into a palm-sized one before Lilith released it.
*Dhrrrrrr….*
The palace shook terribly as the surrounding ground crackled, and people panicked.
The tiny orb that Lilith released turned into a strange dark cloud that formed above the palace, covering it, and started unleashing constant sharp drills as if they were threaded together, but in the form of drills.
Their utterly devastating power pierced through the barrier that activated in an emergency, but Amu readily sucked the barrier\'s power from its formation\'s source…which was none other than Amu itself!
The Ancient Spiritual Nature Pond!
Although Amu detached away from the land, its spiritual owner was still the cute golden slime!
The palace started breaking as the deathly rain broke its structure, piercing and decaying everything while the Earthquake and Amu destroyed the palace\'s foundation from the bottom.
"Be careful," Erix kissed Lilith after pulling her into his embrace, his voice slightly severe.
Lilith smiled after the kiss and flicked Erix\'s forehead. "Let\'s meet up at the decided location. I\'ll be waiting, unharmed and…thirsty."
Erix grinned and gently bit her lips before saying, "I\'ll quench that thirst."
After saying that, Erix vanished from his spot and joined up with Rin and Lily who were wreaking havoc inside.
"She is the one! Kill her!"
"Why did you do this?!"
Four Empyrean-order powerhouses, all elves, emerged and rushed towards Lilith.
"No hard feelings," Lilith shrugged. "Just do your job like I\'ve done mine."
After saying that, a pair of demonic black wings with dark red runic patterns unfurled from her back and glowed, releasing ethereal darkness akin to a shadow, but those shadows bearing dark red patterns of Death and Blood, affecting all enemies and causing their faces to change.
However, Lilith suddenly escaped after debuffing them and marking them instead of attacking them.
This baffled the powerhouses, but they understood the reason next second as they sensed two presences approaching.
"Who was she?!" King Leim shouted while waving his hand at Lilith\'s dark cloud.
Elina gritted her teeth and hissed, "That bitch, she is in the group that passed the test recently."
\'How?! What the fuck is going on?!\' Elina thought furiously. \'Did he find out that we were behind the assassination?\'
\'Was that why he lied to us saying they would leave tomorrow?\'
"Mother, Father! We need more reinforcement!"
Runia arrived while panicking and injured. "Rin, Lily, and A-Aria are destroying everything from within!"
"What do you mean?!" Leim shouted and grabbed Runia\'s shoulder, shaking her, "Why would they do all this?! Why is Aria with them?!"
"Let\'s stop them first," Elina said as she put her hand on Leim\'s shoulder. "Quick, Leim."
"Damn it!"
Leim angrily shouted as he saw the devastation in the previous majestic palace and dashed inside.
Inside, Erix also joined them as he had a job to get everyone out after finishing the destruction.
They floated in the middle floors amidst the destruction as the whole palace was breaking down and falling.
"Let\'s leave a gift to your father before we leave, okay?" Erix said as he held Aria\'s hand.
"Aria!"
The man of the topic arrived King Leim tracked his daughter\'s familiar aura and saw her with three strangers.
"What is this nonsense, Aria?" Leim asked, his expression dark.
"Wait, y-you…" However, Leim was soon shocked to feel Aria\'s bloodline completely different from before and sensed her potent soul and spiritual presence.
"The great father is here," Rin\'s mocking voice rang as she and others finally saw Aria\'s selfish father. "Too busy with everything that you know nothing about your daughter, except for just giving her orders."
"Take a look at her one last time," Erix said with an icy smile, pulling Aria gently towards him by wrapping his hand around her shoulder.
"She will live her way and in complete freedom from now on."
Leim\'s fists clenched as he uttered between his teeth, "What did you do to her?"
Suddenly, the golden slime popped before Leim\'s face a meter away with angry eyes.
"Shut up, you piece of garbage! They did nothing! You did!"
"Erix, hand him over the gift," Amu turned to Erix and looked at Aria with a firm nod.
"Father. I know you took care of me out of love when I was small….at least, I hope that was the case," Aria said with a bright, happy smile. "But I am leaving with Erix and others to live a life I decided for myself."
"Bye."
Erix threw a mirage crystal at Leim while a devilish smile spread on his face, "Enjoy."
Leim grabbed the mirage crystal with veins popping all over his head.
But he was powerless to stop these Royal-order hunters as an Empyrean order.
In the next second, Erix snapped his finger, taking Rin, Lily, Aria, and Amu with him as they vanished.
On the other hand, a cold light flashed in Leim\'s eyes before he put away the mirage crystal and called Elina, who was chasing Lilith with the other Empyrean-order hunters.
Since these Empyrean-order hunters and Leim couldn\'t touch Erix and others, their only target remained Lilith.
