Chapter 320 - The Queen's Heels
"Haha, I like her," A man with red scales laughed after hearing Xaya's declaration.
He was kinda different from all those people, even though his strength peaked at the 34th floor.
He wore royal red clothes that matched well with his deep red hair that flowed behind him like a river, wrapped in a hairband.
The man appeared from the orderly row and took the front with a mighty red aura, "You don't seem that strong, though? Are we going to finally see some proper teamwork? Because you know… These people were so disappointing I couldn't enjoy the fun at all."
Hiro and the rest growled a little at this man's words.
They were losing, that was the truth.
However, their spar wasn't life-threatening yet and it could end in many ways if all of them went all out.
The worst was that the elven forces were nowhere to be seen.
It was hard to tell how things were on the other side and whether these people were close to achieving their goal or not.
Hiro briefly summarized what happened here, "Miss Xaya, there are red scale people, the trickster gods' believers and… some fat fucks."
The first two were known, so Xaya waved her hand and asked about the last one.
It turned out that the 'fat fucks' as per Hiro's words were actually the people under red scale people. They had thick skin, round bellies, but unimaginable raw strength and tenacity!
They could withstand the hell as red scales people's flames were often going rampant at everyone including the allies.
"Hey, don't ignore me. Do you know who I am? I mean, can't you already guess my status from my appearance?" The red scale guy tried to get attention, but Xaya just sent him some menacing glare and spread more of her death energy.
She then asked Hiro, "Those tricksters' believers. What is their dominant ability?"
"I can't tell.. But they can take control over abilities and attack from different angles… At some point, they even began to use our abilities!" Hiro quickly explained, then took the front as the red scaled army began to spit flames straight at them.
Xaya thought about the concepts from Trickster Gods' collection, then clenched her hand, "We will go straight at them. There is nothing in this world that can stop the death itself!" Xaya began to spread her black energy as if it was the domain itself.
Her coldness matched those violet jewels that had been exuding a lot of threats from the very beginning.
In this black carpet, Noe and the rest felt like they got another portion of strength and threw themselves straight at enemies.
The one who looked different was Noe as she had the unique dark knight class.
Her armor-like body withstood the flames, protecting Xaya from it. The coldness then passed through her which was both additional black energy and Xaya's wolf ghost!
"Keep these flames busy, Noe," Xaya said, her ghost also raising its paw. The dark hand and ghost paw dug a little through flames, then Hiro's wives came closer with their ghostly bodies.
They coiled around Noe and ghost wolf, then also touched the flames.
Before Xaya's appearance, those flames would be the great source of death, but the queen wanted to make those freeze!
Their whole purpose was to analyze the flames and make a way for the death itself!
However, the flamethrower suddenly changed directions! It went up as if the red scale people could control it perfectly, but Xaya's violet eyes immediately turned to the side, "Tricksters… If you play too much with the fire, it will kill you," She threatened, then send her ghost straight at their group.
One of them disappeared in a flash, then appeared behind her, "If you pay too much attention to us, then you will pay a price too!"
"Don't touch me, filth," Raising her dark hand, Xaya stopped the knife! Her appearance slightly changed as wolf features appeared on her body! She then tightly grasped the man's knife and shattered it with her great will!
The trickser believer nearly lost his eyes from seeing this, "But you are too fucking weak-"
If Xaya was that weak, then she wouldn't stop this man's words! Her claws nearly tore through the man's face as he managed to take a few steps back!
"I see… Those ghost women are weaker, so you have taken over their strength?!" He quickly guessed the situation by looking around, but even though the math would surely make Xaya win through numbers, the accumulation of four women's strength around the 23rd floor shouldn't make Xaya strong enough to just beat him down!
He bit his lips, but then found out that something was holding his feet, "Bone?"
On her important step, Xaya was bound to learn something new. She found the dead bodies… No, their skeletons unconsciously, then awakened her skeleton abilities.
One by one, the bone hands began to pop off from the black carpet.
"Miss Xaya!" Hiro shouted from the side.
He had been protecting everyone from the red scale flamethrower. Since it just took a different approach through trickster believer's strength, someone had to take care of it before it fell on them.
As Xaya took strength through her queen's might, Hiro was the only one who could do it.
He used his fast speed to move his sword as fast as possible and somehow kept it busy.
Xaya knew that she had no time left, so she instantly pounced at the trapped man, then split his head from the body!
"It's the quality, Filth," To answer all his questions, Xaya uttered, "You use belief from the god, I use the raw energy."
Then, Xaya announced, "You can go help your husband. Noe, stay by my side."
-
"Why did you take control over our flames?" The man in royal clothes asked.
He, as the royalty, didn't like how those tricksters could just take his people's abilities and use them in other ways.
For example, they could change that flamewave into thousand fireballs and make them rain like acid.
Those trickster believers were kinda weird.
As if their ego was somewhat higher than the others, "She was about to destroy your flames anyway," One of them answered briefly, "You couldn't see through it?"
The royal man just clenched his hands, his teeth making some clashing sound. He then threw his head to the side and ignored those people…
However, the high ego of those tricksters believers was something else, "Look. That's how you kill your enemies," All of them said this and pointed their hands at Xaya and Noe.
The black energy began to move and wrap itself around these two ladies!
In one of those trickster god's hands, one could see a card. It was not a joker, but still a powerful card that allowed them to get control over her energy and just sent it back at her.
After Xaya and Noe disappeared, the black energy began to compress.
"Even if it's her own power that can boost others, it can still kill you if used correctly," The arrogance simply flowed off from these believers!
The red royalty scoffed, then ordered his fat underlings to crush down all the skeletons!
"YESSSS!" They loudly answered the order, then began to stomp on the black carpet.
Xaya's energy spread across most of this domain, so even if those tricksters used it against her, there were still a lot of skeletons appearing below the ground.
Boom!
The compressed energy soon exploded and turned into thousands of tears that descended across the domain.
A lot of people were wary of these and dodged, including the arrogant tricksters and red royalty man.
However, the one who spoke the most suddenly let out a loud groan, his lips spitting out a mouthful amount of blood, "UGHHH!"
He looked below and found out that dark hand pierced through his heart.
He could see his own heart!
It was still beating!
Boom!
But no anymore!
"For the arrogance you display, you seem pretty inexperienced in your concept," Xaya's words rang out from behind, "Since when do filth can just touch and move my energy? I was the one to move it."
"B-Bitch… You just… entered the den…" True. There were a lot of tricksters around Xaya as she entered the main line!
"It doesn't mean that you got 'tricked'. All of you got tricked by the true trickster god's wife… Disgusting."
These words stopped every trickster gods' believer, their eyes looking at Xaya with unexplainable emotion.
They should be throwing their abilities at her and yet all they did was just look. Their eyes were pulled to her violet jewels…
Was Xaya the queen who could kill with words alone or did she say something that triggered a fear in those believers?
"I didn't give you permission to look at me," Xaya glanced at every believer, then her cold ghost appeared behind the closest one.
Its paw slapped the man's face, then put him on the ground.
Looking at him from above, Xaya just raised her heel and then dug through his eye.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" What should be an awakening call just increased the fear more. The believers began to tremble, their strength gap non-existent.
Others were also shocked by this sight, but Hiro moved first and began to keep both red scale people and fat guys busy with his sword.
Since the momentum was on their side, his wives also felt a surge of strength and used Xaya's black carpet to their own advantage.
All while the screams continued to pop off!
"I love black color," Xaya smiled, her eyes looking at her heels with content, "It just doesn't get dirty."
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
