Book 6: Chapter 201: Demon Sage Tower (3)
As Dyon was beginning to unlock the locked floors of the tower, the war for Purple Flame Tower was still raging.
The forces of the Flame Rebirth and Fiery Lotus sect were being steadily pushed back. It had been nearly four hours by now had passed and the ground that the Flaming Lily Sect army had made up was nearly at 95% already. All that was left was to secure the entrance and claim dominance of the tower by taking its top floor.
Gale and Rubrum had long since lost their cool. It was clear to them that Caedlum and Arios were no longer trying to win, but were rather stalling.
At the same time, their 10th ranked juniors were in tough fights of their own. Ava and Thor took the front lines, eagerly seeking out fights of their own. Unlike the long time Demon Generals, the two of them weren’t very used to the battlefield, so the veterans had taken a step back for them. The more the new Demon Generals thrived, the better results they’d have in the future.
The 10th ranked disciple of the Flame Rebirth sect sweated profusely as she faced Ava’s twin blades. They were slightly shorter than her elder brother’s, but just as deadly.
The most shocking part about her battle was that body constantly shone a blinding silver light. At times, her body would become as reflective as a mirror, giving her an ethereal beauty that made those in the distance sigh with admiration.
Ava’s blazing red her danced as her body weaved, nimbly dodging the palm strikes of her opponent.
‘What is going on! Why does fighting her head on hurt so much!?’
Ava laughed happily. She hadn’t felt so free in a long time. For so long, her life seemed overcast by that horrible event in the Elvin Forest. Often times it would be made worse by people bringing up that she was fortunate, that somehow since she still had her virginity, it should hurt less. Those people seemed completely oblivious to the fact that to Ava, it hurt just as much. There was no silver lining.
However, Dyon had given her an opportunity to rise up. She felt like she had a purpose, that she could fight for the things she wanted and grasp them with her own hands. Dyon was the only person who never tried to explain away what happened to her, instead, he gave her the tools to better herself, to not ignore it, but to move past it.
A sudden realization hit the 10th ranked disciple. “Silver Mirror Constitution!” When she came to understand this, she could only grit her teeth in jealousy. Heaven level constitutions were rare, but ones as great as the Silver Mirror were even rarer.
It was no wonder fighting Ava was so terrible. Considering that she was a saint now, she could already reflect 20% of the attacks of her opponents at the same level. She would only lose a single percentage for every small stage her opponent was above her, and 10% for every large stage.
The best part was that when she broke through to the Celestial Stage, she’d gain the ability to reflect 40%. And when she was in the dao formation realm, as much as 60% was possible! Fighting someone with this constitution had to be among the most difficult things to do… It wasn’t known as one of the three greatest defensive constitutions for no reason. This said, the drop in percentages for fighting higher realms in the celestial and dao formation stages were even more penalizing.
This aside, the only reason Ava was still a King was because of the emotional barriers she faced. But, every day, she gained more and more confidence in herself. She felt like it wouldn’t be long before she felt confident enough to attack the Emperor trials.
Ava only smiled beautiful, her eyes becoming like beautiful carved glass as she struck forward again, pushing her opponent back.
Thor was fighting right alongside Ava, brandishing his spear as though he was a War God for the ages. Despite the complicated history between the two, they still fought shoulder to shoulder, giving the martial world a sight to see.
Alidor nodded to himself in the skies, ‘It won’t be long now. Delia, Madeleine, prepare for the final offensive. It’ll have to be your two who conquer the top floor.’
The two otherworldly beauties nodded. They were the most powerful warriors on their side right now. After all, unlike the Demon Generals, they hadn’t abolished their cultivation to practice the Inner World: Sanctuary technique. It could be said that if it wasn’t for this cultivation technique, the battle would have long since been over!
Just as Alidor was about to order the final attack, his ears twitched and his eyes narrowed. Despite Alidor’s very obvious soul talent, he had yet to break into the Celestial realms like Ri, Madeleine and Clara had. Currently he was still at the peak of the 6th stage. This wasn’t because Ri and Madeleine were more talented than him, but rather because Dyon would rather die than dual cultivate with him, not that he’d be willing even if Dyon offered. As such, he couldn’t gain the same benefits as Dyon’s wives.
However, this didn’t mean his senses weren’t incomparably sharp. His 6th sense was frighteningly sharp, in fact.
‘Enemy pincer attack incoming!’ Alidor roared into the communication device. ‘Prepare to rearrange!
‘Kaeda, reposition your medical squad to the center.
‘Gaylia, pull back your long-range squad to protect Kaeda’s units. Implement the Gorilla Formation.
‘Maaleshiira, Aredhel, Jassin … Position at 5:30 using turtle retreat method.
‘Ava, Thor, hold the front lines and keep pressing.
‘Halaena, Ithirae, Kuoronos … Position at 10:30 using spartan advance method.
‘Anyone seen retreating and not following orders will be beheaded on sight!’
