Chapter 1104: The Awakening (8)
Somewhere atop an ice mountain, a blue-haired beauty stood, her beauty radiating both strength and elegance. Beside her stood another beauty whose green hair and leaf crown made her appear like a forest queen.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been here,” Anna said, and Lucy, who stood beside her, nodded…
“Same here.”
“I wonder if we can go back to the world of Ice after the domain evolves,” Anna said, recalling a moment from her past life memories she had recovered so far.
“Maybe we can go back. After all, aside from us two sisters, nobody else can go there.”
“True. However, a certain monk was able to go there, so it’s not telling if he can go there again.” The two ladies smiled, recalling Klaus’s 4th incarnation, the renegade monk.
“Ah, well, he is an anomaly, so we shouldn’t be surprised if he pulls off the impossible.” Anna looked into the distance, and her gaze fell on thousands of Ka’thorians struggling to survive in the bone-freezing ice.
“They are cooked, aren’t they?” Lucy asked.
“The more death inside this domain, the stronger it gets,” Anna responded with a proud smile. “The only downside is I can’t leave until they are all taken care of.”
“Then, happy hunting. I am going back to handle the rest.” Lucy grinned. “My forest could use some fertilizer.”
Anna also grinned.
“Take this. It will send you straight to my domain. Come help me after you are done here.”
Anna became puzzled. “What makes you think I will be done before you?” She didn’t understand how her terrifying sister would ask for her help when she was the freaking Queen of Vines.
“Stop protecting my feelings, Anna. We both know you are stronger than me, so don’t hold yourself back just to not hurt my feelings.” Lucy smiled and added another sentence before vanishing from the domain.
“The stronger you become, the happier I get. After all, who wouldn’t want their sister to become strong and badass?”
Anna was left stunned, unsure of how to handle this discovery.
In their past life, she had tried every day to hold herself back just so her sister would be seen as the strongest. However, if only she knew Lucy had always known, and since she realized her sister’s intentions, she knew disclosing it would make her feel guilty.
So she waited, and after billions of years, she finally let her know.
“She knew all this while.”
“Of course she did. Who do you think you were fooling?” Tess, Anna’s soul beast, said, appearing beside her.
“Tess, what are you doing here?” Anna asked, a blush on her cheek.
“Klaus wants you back on the battlefield, so he asked me to come sing for you,” Tess chuckled when she heard Klaus’s ridiculous request.
However, as a Siren-Banshee hybrid, her voice is her most powerful tool. And as someone who had the ’Tears of Eternal Grief,’ a banner that had been painted using the tears of the fallen sirens, he knew she would be a good addition to the Ice Queen team-up.
“No need, Tess. Since the cat is out of the bag, I might as well unleash my power.”
Anna smiled and stabbed her Staff into the ground. “Rise, souls of the slain. The Ice Queen commands.”
The moment she muttered that cold spell, the dead Ka’thorians started to stir, and each turned into an ice statue warrior. They moved, and before long, a huge battle was underway.
Inside the Ice Age domain, Anna was supreme, and thanks to the Paragon mark she and her sister had used to strengthen themselves, she was now using three times the strength she would have used if she hadn’t met Klaus in this life.
Back in the day, she would have struggled to hold this many enemies in her domain. But not anymore. This time, she was having it fairly easy.
Tess saw this and smiled.
She took out a flute made of ice essence. “Since I am here, I might as well make things fun.”
Anna looked at her soul beast and smirked. “Go ahead.”
Tess started playing the flute. The moment the music filled the domain, the Ka’thorians still alive felt their minds were being invaded.
It felt like something beyond their understanding was taking hold of their mind.
In no time, Tess had taken control of their minds one by one. When she had had enough, she commanded them, and they obeyed.
On the outside, Lucy appeared not that far from where her sister vanished and looked at the thousands of Ka’thorians locked in fierce combat with the Earth Alliance legion.
She was about to make her move when Klaus’s voice entered her head.
“Stand down, Lucy. Your time hasn’t come yet.”
The Queen of Vines nodded, and then she waved her hand, causing thick, metallic-looking vines to burst out of the ground.
What followed were thousands of screams as Nether Stage and below Ka’thorians started getting impaled, their life essence drained to feed the thousands of Life Trees growing inside Lucy’s soul sea.
Klaus smiled at Lucy’s antics and turned to his mom. “You ready?”
She nodded, her body covered in her armor.
“Good luck then.”
She flew toward the battlefield, followed by Klaus’s nine soul bodies and his four Flame Spirits.
“Lily, protect them for me,” Klaus called to the fastest lady on the battlefield to fight around his mom and his soul bodies.
Lily nodded and moved away, leaving Mason to handle the hundreds of Nether Stage warriors surrounding him.
In no time, the battlefield turned chaotic, but despite thousands of enemies still pouring in, Klaus didn’t deploy anyone.
Even the black panther was still standing back.
“There are more of them than I anticipated,” Klaus muttered, and Lord Trench nodded.
“I am afraid the entire planet will soon become a battlefield,” Lord Trench said, and Klaus couldn’t help but nod to that.
“Thanks to our lucky stars, we sent away the civilians.” In the end, they were their only weakness, and now that they were protected, he knew it didn’t matter how chaotic the battle became; they would be safe from harm.
On the battlefield, a figure clad in Neburian high-tech gear slowly made his way across the field, using stealth tactics to evade the thousands of Earth warriors within his killing range.
He had arrived five minutes ago but hadn’t tried to kill anyone.
As he moved, he could sense some powerful arrays embedded in the battlefield. However, he was doing his best to evade them, with his destination miles away.
As he looked at the Nine-Level Pagoda in the distance, he could only move slowly.
He was sent by King Archon to deal with the person interfering with his warriors. Naturally, the four masked men beside him were the ones who pinpointed Jane’s location.
They had the eyes to see through the void, and though they couldn’t see who it was, they knew the person was inside the pagoda.
So they sent someone to kill her.
This person had a reputation for killing even those protected by many powerful guards. However, on this day, as he managed to slip out of the battlefield and was about to make his way toward the pagoda, his surroundings changed, and he found himself staring at a blue planet.
Suddenly, a reddish-yellow beam locked onto him…
Before he could think of dodging, his body vaporized. The beam continued its descent, going through a dozen Domain Stage warriors who had miraculously appeared in space.
