Chapter 438 Elite (10), Ayaka the Nine-tailed Golden Fox
-Type: Offense.
-Stage: 5
-Power: 589,398.
"Not bad!" Nira exclaimed with shining eyes. "Erix, this attack is good. And Rin, you are also close."
The other stones showed numbers a bit later, but they were close!
-Type: Defense.
-Stage: 5
-Power: 586,982.
"Well, we didn't use Regalon Transformation," Erix laughed. "I'm sure it would reach stage 6 if we did."
"True, we didn't use our full power," Rin wryly smiled.
'Oh yeah. They also have the Regalons like Aria,' Nira remembered.
"Check out our skills next," Kenshin said with a grin as he smashed his fists together and stood before the offense stone.
"Alright," Nira smiled and nodded. "Hit it with your full power."
"What's the name?" Erix curiously asked.
"Torrential Shred," Kenshin said with a laugh before his aura burst out and gathered in his right palm which was covered in a strange black glove with eccentric colorful patterns.
His concepts and Super Exotic Element's offense aspect were designed with Aethir to the extreme as his palm released a straight torrent of sharp glowing shards, oozing out extreme black heat and sharpness.
"My Sharp concept is the main focus with my Seigmox Super Exotic Element's pure offensive aspect, while other concepts work to complement the Sharpness, including the Shatter concept that acts as a vanguard force," Kenshin grinned. "I want this attack to shred and melt through anything."
The stone glowed and soon showed the evaluation.
-Stage: 6
-Power: 638,546
"Stage 6! Great," Nira's eyes sparkled. 'If they continue this way, they'll have a proper set of skills by the time War of Thrones starts.'
'I guess we won't fall behind initially if everyone has a set of Stage 6 skills.'
"Next is mine," Sameira said as she arrived before the stone next, anticipation in her eyes as stretched her hand forward and an exotic pistol appeared in her hand.
The dull golden-colored pistol had a long, unusual barrel. It had a beautiful, but deadly vibe exuding patterns of glowing blue and dark orange colors, pulsing with power.
"I call this skill, Dawnbreak Flash."
Her Super Exotic Element, Mairglave (Radiance + Inferno + Lightning) was geared towards pure offense and she had heightened it to extreme levels to her capabilities.
Sameira's aura faintly glowed before she pulled the trigger.
But all everyone could see was a faint light that caused their visions to be disabled, including even their senses as a faint bullet stuck the stone before covering it in a barrier and exploding.
"If you felt blinded, then good," Sameira grinned. "The skill just got more power from it."
The stone glowed before it showed the evaluation, shocking everyone.
-Stage: 6
-Power: 698,390
"Holy shit," Erix was dumbfounded.
"Mom, this is crazy," Rin was flabbergasted.
But Nira was most shocked, "Y-You…what is the skill's cost? How many Vices? And how it works?"
"I'm pretty sure this bullet didn't travel all the way from the pistole to this stone."
Everyone looked at Sameira, awaiting her response as she chuckled.
"As long as there is even a minuscule of light or brightness, my bullet can materialize there. Its weakness is glaring too, as it won't activate in darkness, but that's why it's powerful."
"I've used my Super Exotic Element's aspect to its maximum potential with my current capability and applied all Concepts. I also need a certain state of mind before I can execute the skill."
"And well, the overall minimum cost of skill with six bullets is 38,000 Prana, 35,000 Aethir force, and I got 4 Vices so soul energy accordingly for boost."
"Aethir Force's cost is high, but it's worth it," Nira nodded with shining eyes. "Alright, this is good."
Suddenly, Tenebria's avatar appeared.
"Isabella woke up. Bring her here."
After saying that, she vanished.
"Alright, let's get back to work!" Erix rolled up his sleeve. "We gotta create better and more skills with practice."
…
An hour later, Lily and Lilith also finished with their nightmares, winning and awakening.
Nira was already numb to their feats, but she could feel there was a positive sync in the group that pulled each other up. Nobody wanted to be left behind, hence their willpower was more powerful and oriented enough not to lose against mental obstacles, which were tough for most.
The whole gang finally gathered in the Shadow Bamboo Realm. Amu also arrived, but only its avatar since its main body was merged with the core of the Blessed Island.
Isabella, Lily, and Lilith also started learning and creating skills after Nira got them their badges and assessments. Nira imbued the information directly in their mind before showing practical usage to save time.
…
Tenebria was in a peaceful office with magical papers floating before her, and cloudy screens that showed scenery of places with people.
She appeared busy, but an uninvited guest still materialized before her.
Tenebria sighed and looked at the figure with 9 golden fluffy tails. The figure adorned a loose light-pink kimono with beautiful flowery patterns, showing her shapely figure and pale peach-skinned breasts' cleavage.
Her fluffy golden-tipped white ears moved as she chuckled and took a puff from her smoke pipe before saying, "Come on, don't look glum while being so glamorous.
Her violet eyes were filled with amusement.
"Why are you here, Aya?" Tenebria asked with a wry smile.
"Your group is participating in War of Thrones?"
"Stupid question," Tenebria rolled her eyes. "Of course, we are. War of Thrones is one of the top games where individuals can progress fast." Find more chapters on empire
"That is if they have a brain to accomplish things," Ayaka said with a grin.
"Speak already, what's the matter?"
"Alliance for War of Thrones. Between our groups," Ayaka smiled. "I am not talking about teamwork as this would not be beneficial for individuals in our group."
Tenebria's eyes glinted, "You mean helping each other when necessary?"
"Exactly. Although each group will spawn randomly, they can stay in contact with one another. I have someone proficient in Space element in the group to make things easier."
Tenebra smiled and replied, "Plausible. I also have someone proficient in Space in this group to make this even easier."
"Great," Ayaka grinned. "I'm pretty sure other groups will also use this method because it was used in the first War of Thrones a month ago. We also have to prepare, hence my visit here."
Tenebria nodded. "My group is currently in training. Let's have them meet each other at an hour before it begins and explain this."
"Alright."
