Chapter 840 Uncontrollable Burst Of Energy.
While she had been given free rein to take any Haron experts she believed would be useful, Tanya had of course not called on the top of the Haron family echelon such as the Elders of the family.
Rather she had her pick of the many generals of the clan many of whom were at or were close to the peak of the Cosmic Saint realm and put themselves under her to the point where they acted mediocre and looked mediocre just to draw out the Doxon Elders.
The plan of action was to cut down the Doxons and while that surely involved killing the average Doxon experts, the deaths that would truly have an impact were the deaths of Elders, Kirill Doxon, and the Duchess herself, Svetlana Doxon.
The strongest Haron experts, imbued by power from the Monument-gem struck at the Doxon Elders and quickly pushed them into the defensive with the outlook not looking good.
It became an unspoken rule of sorts that this battle only involved Cosmic Saints because any Doxon not at the level and tried to get involved would get cut down by the many Haron Experts who had not gone after the Elders.
Kirill's sons, Kohen and Elian, brothers of Svetlana, were one of the Doxons who actively tried to avoid crossing paths with the Harons and if they were already that way, then, of course, their sons Ivan and Artyom who were weaker were the same.
However, while Ivan and Artyom hid away, their colleague, Elora, who had once been in their group and completed the 'Doxon Trio' charged into combat.
Elora Doxon had had the pleasure of sharing Hal's bed and had long been indoctrinated into Hal's cause and had been the one through which Hal had begun creeping his influence over the Doxon family and eventually taking it over.
Anyway, like other members of Hal's harem, Elora had benefited from the hundred years of cultivation seclusion through a seemingly never-ending Orgy.
Elora was now at the Cosmic Saint realm and while the Haron forces were bolstered by Tanya's Monument-gem, she was bolstered by the vastness of Hal's battle Prowess which he had granted her access to the bit that she could manage.
Elora joined up with the Doxons resisting the Harons and she conjured her chains with the use of the skill she had created long before she met Hal but now the chains were no longer just a skill. She had made it a part of herself... A pseudo-bloodline ability in the process of synthesizing her own bloodline from the inspiration she had derived from Hal.
Her blue eyes were bright with the fury and intensity that was warranted from any member of Hal's legion of women and her very first target found himself wrapped in the chains which instantly locked up his ability to harness cosmic energy which left him vulnerable for Elora to finish the job.
Elora's presence somehow bolstered the confidence of the Doxon forces for some reason. She exuded an Aura as belonging to Hal and that aura instantly granted her respect, but as she battled, Elora paid no attention to them but rather called on other members of the legion to come to the Doxon family's aid.
The Doxons were capable but there was a certain quality the Harons had thanks to Tanya's Monument-gem that made the Doxons look pathetic in comparison. While the Doxons had indeed surrendered to Hal's rule, they were not a part of his force and were not a party to various advantages.
Meanwhile, Tanya floated up to be on a similar level as Kirill while she activated multiple rose-red Rune circles she had imprinted all over the Doxon Palace grounds to form a massive multicolored Dome meant to keep out all interferences that she knew were sure to come.
Without taking her eyes off Kirill, Tanya could tell that many Doxons had fallen already whether through direct assault or collateral damage and it brought a smile to her face.
The fact that a lady had joined the combating Doxons and made them much more charged to do battle was of no consequence to Tanya who directed her attention to the Haron Experts battling the Doxon Elders.
"You're the strongest Doxon. The first Demi-god the Doxon Family has had in hundreds of thousands of years" Tanya told Kirill.
"Does that make you rethink this obvious ridiculous decision you have made?" Kirill asked in a gruff voice.
"You are a challenging prospect, I'll give you that but your defeat is possible and will happen at my hands. For too long, the infestation of the Doxons has lasted, it's about time we cut you off and raise a truly loyal family in your stead." Tanya said as her Monument-gem flashed and Kirill felt contained and unable to move. He broke out of the uh hold through sheer power but not before Tanya closer in on him with a blow to his face.
*BAM*
As the blow pushed him back, Kirill was a tad surprised that it had hurt him as much as it did especially considering he was a Demi-god but what was worse as a realization was how easily the multicolored energy Tanya was wielding entered his body and began to disrupt the normal flow of energy.
As Kirill was getting pushed back by the blow, Tanya pulled him closer seemingly by sheer force of will to sink a knee into his jaw.
*BAM*
*CRACK!*
Immediately after, Kirill appeared to get a grip on the movement of energy in his body and struck out at Tanya who smiled and warped reality to toss Kirill amid the battling Doxons.
Kirill realized two things immediately;
First was that he was unable to resist or avoid the reality warp used on him and,
Second, the energy he had tried to strike at Tanya was not coming out as a focused blast but rather an uncontrollable tsunami of energy that threatened to disperse in all directions like an explosion with him as the epicenter.
Kirill could not shut it down and until he let that attack loose, he was basically banned from trying to use his strength. He could not even fly away to try and take the situation away from the Doxons.
The Doxons had a split second to react and in that split second, Tanya shrouded the Harons in multicolored skins and grinned at the death of Doxons at the hands of their Ex-Duke.
*KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*
The explosion rocked the entire Doxon Duchy Palace grounds, caused a massive crater, and killed more than half of the battling Doxons many of whom had managed to use the split second they had to protect themselves.
Elora had been struck back but had survived the explosion mostly courtesy of the imbuement she had from Hal.
The Harons, while protected from death were all pushed away from Kirill the epicenter of the explosion but sporting the most minimal of injuries, they were back on their feet and ready to lay waste to the little injured fighting force that was left.
Buildings had been destroyed... Weak Doxons who had stayed well away from the battle had also been caught in the explosion and lost their lives.
Kirill's eyes widened at what he had done...
It had all happened so fast but he knew exactly what had happened.
Tanya had riled him up with her multicolored energy and then put a cork over the output just so it could be let out uncontrollably. Kirill wondered if this could have been avoided and no matter how hard he thought about it, he was still unsure.
At least four Doxon Elders had now lost their lives and the rest were only getting pushed back and at the risk of dying as well the longer things went on.
Kirill only afforded himself a second of moping and then charged at Tanya with his body shrouded by Nether and death energy and his face a mask of grief.
Tanya dodged the attack and kicked him in the face as she cackled,
"HAHAHAHAHA, Oh So what, You're serious now? You weren't serious before?" she asked in a mocking tone before she formed a massive hammer which she struck into Kirill's face with the obvious intent of bashing the man's face in.
As she did, a portal opened courtesy of Elora, bypassing the dome around the Palace, and it let in a good portion of the Blood Knights led by Karmen, Rita, and Emily.
The trio of Karmen, Rita, and Emily only spared a second to look at the many dead Doxons before they went right for the Harons attacking the Doxon Elders while the Blood Knights went for the others with them all armed with the large Fiendish Broadsword, Executioner.
"How did they get here?" Karmen asked with a frown as they closed in on their targets.
Last they knew, Tanya was at the Imperial City and should not have been able to lead an Army to Doxon in just a day even with the fastest Teleportation Circles.
"There is a question or two I would like to add to that" Rita said and one of those questions was how they had not immediately known of her arrival.
Had Hal known and just not bothered to warn them or the Doxon Family?
"All questions will have to wait though," Emily said as she hacked at a Haron Expert with her Ax.
The man tried to use his imbuement from Tanya in his favor but that meant next to nothing to Emily whose next swing cut off half of his right arm.
Anyway, Kirill received the blow to the face but used that to forge a connection between himself and Tanya who immediately saw two skeletal grey hands charging at her.
She blinked and the hands were gone but her next blink brought them back as they bypassed her body and grabbed her soul to pull her into a state between dead and living...
... A state in which she was at the mercy of a very angry Kirill Doxon.
