Chapter 162 [Bonus] The Current Situation Of Alzania(1)
-Knock, knock
“It’s open.” Ashia’s familiar voice inside Alvine’s office, on the planet of Alzania, more precisely on the kingdom of the Elves.
Alvine and Sabrina had been absent for six months now. The war between both sides was as intense as each other. Just as Alvine had put things in place, Lord Valskar and the two low-ranking Magi confronted each other in a fierce battle that had made the whole planet tremble and even almost led it to its destruction.
But after ten days of non-stop battle, Lord Valskar finally had her victory by seriously wounding Grimor, the archdemon who held the philosopher’s stone in the battle against Lord Valskar. Bilmart, the human-divine mage had no choice but to retreat with his wounded comrade. Since Grimor was stronger than him, so even if he liberated his divine powers with the philosopher’s stone, he will not be able to defeat Lord Valskar who strangely, was able to use her divine powers.
But strangely, since the end of this battle, neither side had moved.
Empress Yury and her faithful subordinates were released by Alvine’s soldiers when the battle raged between Lord Valskar and the two divine Magi from the opposing camps. But the situation was not as desperate for Ashia who had taken command of the troops in the absence of Alvine and Sabrina.
Because apart from Yuer, Alvine’s contracted fox who had made her breakthrough with flying colors under Nicco’s supervision in the forest of the green hell, Ashia also brought a small gift with her when she was back on the planet of the Punishers. A scarlet red stone with greenish and archaic motifs on top was in her possession; which was none other than another philosopher’s stone that Sabrina had personally given her before sending her back to Alzania.
As a result, the third camp that is considered the weakest would wreak surprising havoc with the strength of two divine mages; a divine mage who had just reached divine rank at just three months, and a divine goddess who is now at the height of her power after seeing her powers unsealed by the obsessed with seals, Sabrina. Not to mention Valskar Lord who is an intermediate divine magus at the top, even a high-level divine mage will not be able to defeat the empress of the celestial demons, Ashia Sabar.
“General Gamma greets the mistress.” A guard who was recently promoted to general of the Gamma troops greeted Ashia by kneeling in front of her.
“Talk.” She ordered briefly without giving him a look.
“The queen of fairies, Lilias, the queen of the Elves Cheera, and the bloody Empress Yury are all waiting for you in the meeting room to plan the future steps of the war.” The middle-aged man with thick muscles who stood out under his thick armor like an artistic sculpture delivered the message he had collected from the leaders.
Ashia slightly nodded her head with imperturbable air. “Very well, tell them that I’ll be there in less than ten minutes. I have to take care of some tasks of the utmost importance before joining them.” She ordered him with a placid look while consulting the documents.
“It will be delivered according to your desires, mistress.” The general greeted her once again before going out into the room leaving Ashia with her occupations.
‘Sigh, I hope you’re doing well, master.’ She whispered to herself in a nostalgic tone while her ruby red pupils fixed the pure white ceiling with drawings of magical beasts.

Meanwhile, Nicco was with Yuer on the Brisht Academy training ground to teach Yuer to better use her divine powers. Celestia watched the two fight in a duel with mixed expressions in her heart.
What she was currently seeing was far beyond her understanding. A divine magus was intimidated by a simple empress mage who seemed to give her advice on what to do.
-BOOM!
A ball of scarlet fire hit Nicco’s shield without causing any damage. “It’s too weak! This attack is not even worthy of a holy rank mage. When you fight against an enemy, learn to find feints and exploit them. The battle is not only a matter of power and rank, it is also about knowing how to act at the right time and know how to channel your energy to a specific place. Stop throwing messy spells and on a large scale, you will only give your enemy the chance to shoot down a bear that will exhaust all its magical energy shortly.” She thundered nonchalantly inside the shield while she floated nonchalantly in the air.
Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!!
“Tsk, you are the worst instructor who has ever existed in the world by hiding behind a magic shield.” Yuer gasping fiercely as if she were going to die from one second to the next by suffocation replied her words with irritation while her body was bathed in an intimidating golden aura.
She had been fighting against Nicco for more than three days in a row without restraint but she was still unable to defeat her. Worse still, she can't even push her to her in her limits.
“Stop complaining if you can. Anger is indeed a good weapon on a battlefield if it allows you to subdue your enemy, but it is also a double-edged sword if your enemy uses your anger to mentally unbalance you. So be sure to use it only if it helps you otherwise, never use it! In a battle, it is killing or being killed. Regardless of the means used, victory is the only thing that matters.” She continued her words with a gracious and dignified air.

She currently looks like another person, contrary to her joyful and carefree habit. Her eyes shone malice and her sharp look constantly launched spiritual attacks on Yuer who constantly cashed for sharpening her soul and spiritual power.
“Sigh, we were really ridiculous thinking we were strong. She, who is an empress mage, is not only able to stand up to a divine mage, but she actually manages to subdue it so easily as if nothing had happened.” Celestia murmured to herself while watching these two monsters fight fiercely inside a golden barrier that had been set up by Ashia. No matter how powerful Yuer had put into her attacks for more than two days, she could not make the slightest scratch on the Ashia barrier.
Seeing Yuer panting, Nicco became a breeze of fresh wind and appeared instantly in front of her and gave her a fist in the face without restraint.
Two BANGS were shaking the whole arena when Yuer received Nicco’s punch and the second was when she smashed against the Ashia barrier.
“Never show your weakness in front of your enemies even if you are on the verge of death, you must always stand proudly like a bloodthirsty warrior with unshakable eyes. Maybe, Only in this way will you be able to deceive your enemies and have at least a little rest time.” She gave an additional course with the costs of paying for her punch.
-Koff, Koff
Yuer, who had a bloody face, began to heal at sight as if nothing had happened. She got up proudly wiping the trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth before repositioning herself in a defensive position.
-Shwooosh!
The surrounding air blew under her feet and she flew like a hateful ghost to Nicco with a flood of murderous intention that could subdue any normal emperor mage. His palm fell on Nicco’s chest who strangely remained in his place without moving a single toe.
Her Neko ears trembled slightly while a Machiavellian smile adorned her pink lips. She grabbed Yuer’s wrist and smashed her to the ground by exercising all her power on her.
-Akkkh
“What did I tell you earlier?? Don’t let your enemies use anger to make you do anything. Keep your cool by forgetting that you are a girl who had just been disfigured. Be a warrior and not a girl.” She continued by twisting Yuer’s hand and immobilizing him on the ground.
But a mysterious smile appeared on Yuer lips and even before she distanced herself, her hand began to age at a glance and aging continued to rise tone along her arm until she reached her shoulder.
-Slash!!
Seeing that she had fallen into Yuer’s trap, she decapitated her arm by stopping corrupt cells from venturing further into her body.
Plop, plop, plop…
“Hmm, was it a trap? Did you want to have physical contact with me to let your temporal affinity invade my cells and accelerate their corrosion? This is fantastic. But it’s still not enough. You are lucky to have a rare affinity but your control is too mediocre.” She continued her role as an instructor by leaving her arm to Yuer while her shoulder bleed profusely before suddenly stopping bleeding.
Then, in front of the wide-open eyes of the spectators, her shoulder regenerated and another arm came out into her pulpit as if it were an illusion. “You see? Just like hybrid foxes that have hereditary abilities, my lineage also has one; endless regeneration. You’d better aim for another riskier part next time. If I were your enemy, sacrificing my arm to cut your head was not a high price. It only takes a second of doubt to see your life passing before your eyes. The next time you hesitate, I’ll twist your neck. An incompetent and gentle person such as you does not deserve to be our master’s contracted beast.” She says by tightening her fist perpetually as if she wanted to get used to her new member.
“Don’t talk to me as if you were the person who decides that!” His golden aura poured out like a destructive hurricane and a crater formed under his feet while the debris broke into nothingness. She was like a berserker who had just lost all her reasoning.
Her body gradually began to increase in size while snow-white furs covered her, and her nine gigantic tails began to grow accompanied by a tenth tail she had recently obtained after reaching the divine rank. She turned into her bestial form as a celestial fox six meters long.
Her real shape was larger than that, but to maintain her mobility in the small 50m arena, she had no choice but to restrict herself.
“Very good decision. Never underestimate an enemy, no matter its strength, always be on your guard.” She gave a positive argument before she began to become serious too by letting her bloody red aura come out of her body like a sorry pond that had taken billions of lives with her.
“The fifth round can now begin. You still haven’t won a single round, so try to change the result this time.” She says by taking out two red daggers in her shadows. She was Sabrina’s subordinate who mastered more the affinity of darkness that went well with her class as an assassin. But unlike her, Alvine’s affinity for darkness was very different from the affinity for the darkness that she and others used.

In the imperial courtyard, A girl with honeyed red skin, a face that seemed to be sculpted by the goddess of beauty; wore an expression of unprecedented ferocity. In front of her, two thousand men and women of the three races were lined up in line. Her predatory green eyes captivated the thousands of soldiers who were in front of her while her little scarlet horn above her forehead proudly stabbed the sky.
“I’m going to be brief, you are weak; so weak that even you don’t deserve to be called soldiers.” Nelda began her speech with these words while her smooth red tail split the air after every movement on her part. The warriors of elves, humans, and fairies of the three kingdoms were under her jurisdiction to better train them. Since she became the supreme leader of this army of ten thousand men, she has properly separated them to use bestly their skills. She was currently with Squad C (two thousand soldiers), which was soon to fight a battle against demons next on Nizu Hill in the east of the planet.
“You are weak, it’s true, but you are here to make you more powerful than your enemies. This is what gives you the right to deserve your title as a soldier. I hate the weak, I hate the fear! I do not ask you to be fiercely women, nor men without fear, but I command you to be warriors who do not never tremble in front of their enemies under any circumstances. Making unnecessary speeches is too much for me. So form two camps and massacre yourself until the last breaths until fainting! Those who will die in this exercise did not deserve to be soldiers. Those who hold back their blows, I would personally take care of their cases! Is that clear?!”
-Toud toud toud
“Yes, matriarch!” They responded in unison after hitting three of their torsos!
“I didn’t hear correctly. Is that clear?!”
“YES, MATRIARCH!!!”
“So what are you all waiting to look at me like fucking idiots, moves your asses!! You have two minutes to form two fair camps, execution!!”
