After receiving this message, Freesna and Blake didn't rush to set off but found Tingyun, who was resting in the inn.
"Miss Tingyun, the chance for revenge has come."
Blake didn't forget the main business. They not only wanted to help the Xianzhou Alliance destroy the Lord Ravager but also wanted Tingyun, who had suffered because of this, to take action personally.
"This matter started because of this humble girl, and it shall end because of this humble girl. Many thanks to you two for granting Tingyun this opportunity." Tingyun bowed deeply to Blake and Freesna. A few words couldn't express her gratitude.
"So... Miss Tingyun, are you ready to set off?" Blake tossed the ambiguously meaningful soap in the air, just like that day in the Church's sanctuary when deciding who should go see Adrian.
"Last time on Jarilo-VI, failing to let the Astral Express see the Church's best state truly damaged our reputation." Blake couldn't forget that day at the Restricted Zone frontline when he got carried away playing and fought those Fragmentum creations while carrying Sampo.
The result was being seen by Adrian's group who arrived later, ending awkwardly. He left a deep impression on them in a pyrrhic victory kind of way.
This time... not only for Miss Tingyun's revenge, but he, Blake, also wanted to wipe away his shame!
...
After viewing the Vidyadhara murals, everyone quickly unsealed the three seals of Scalegorge Waterscape.
"The three claw marks have struck. Next, it's time to head to the [Ambrosial Arbor's] mystic roots. I can feel... the roots of the [Ambrosial Arbor] growing constantly."
"It's Phantylia... we must hurry."
Quickening their pace, Dan Heng led them to the end of the Dragon Palace. "We've reached the end. Here lie the [Ambrosial Arbor's Mystic Roots], the location of the Abundance miracle."
"[Three claw marks strike the water, to appear before the Arbor's wood] refers to this place. Contained by the dragon's power, the mystic roots of the Ambrosial Arbor have taken the form of dragon-shaped burls."
"Now, I will unveil this final seal..." Dan Heng channeled his power secretly, waiting only for Jing Yuan's command.
"Everyone must be ready, right?"
Stelle and March 7th took out their weapons in advance. After the battle with Cocolia on Jarilo-VI, they gained a lot of combat experience to prevent Phantylia from launching a sudden sneak attack.
Especially March 7th, who hugged her chest tightly, afraid of a hidden sword striking and giving her a chill through the heart.
As Adrian erased HIS own presence, they officially stepped into the [Ambrosial Arbor's] mystic roots.
"Hmm? Hee hee, is the visitor the General of the Luofu?"
Phantylia's mocking laughter came from all around. March 7th stayed alert to the surroundings, not forgetting to taunt back:
"That bad thing! Sure enough, waiting for us here. Come out, Phantylia!"
"Oh? The [Benefactors] have come too? Do not be impatient; [This Humble Girl] has not finished dressing up yet."
"Addicted to acting as Miss Tingyun, are you!" Hearing Phantylia imitating Tingyun's verbal tic, March 7th got even angrier, charging up an ice arrow and shooting it at Phantylia.
Unexpectedly, the ice arrow created from Six-Phased Ice didn't even touch Phantylia, melting midway by a mysterious force.
"Hehe~ The benefactor has quite a temper. The Xianzhou has an old proverb: Anger attacking the heart may harm the body."
"No wonder the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus believe they are superior... This Ambrosial Arbor miracle indeed has the power of creation and reconstruction."
"Everyone, be extremely careful. Dan Heng, I entrust my back to you."
"Understood." Dan Heng nodded. The next goal was very clear: defeat Phantylia who had usurped the Ambrosial Arbor.
A dull roar came from deep within the earth veins. The world suddenly changed color, the surroundings like an earth dragon turning over, dust flying.
Cracks bloomed on the delve's dome. Thousands of falling yellow leaves drifted with the gusts of wind. In the blink of an eye, a silhouette majestic as a mountain appeared before everyone.
"This, this, this... she became so big!"
"March, forgot the [Engine of Creation] at Everwinter Hill?" Stelle showed no fear; she had seen bigger.
"Benefactors, do you see this beautiful body... The miracle of [Abundance] lives up to its reputation."
Phantylia showed off to everyone incessantly: "Hmm~ Let me see what I can do with her."
"Very well. I shall use this power granting longevity to the Xianzhou to bring [Destruction] to you!"
Looking at the lotuses suddenly popping up, Jing Yuan reminded:
"Phantylia has seized the power of the Ambrosial Arbor for her own use... Everyone, try your best to exterminate these phantom flowers. I will break her body."
"Leave it to me. If the General suffers the slightest harm... I'll perform swallowing the Ambrosial Arbor raw on the spot!" Stelle pulled off the necklace, shielding everyone behind her.
"Haha, no need to be so exaggerated."
"Teacher Adrian, watch my performance!" March 7th took out her water gun, filling it with Six-Phased Ice before the fight, lest she fail to release skills mid-battle.
Dan Heng and Welt wasted no time, directly starting a righteous two-on-one against Phantylia.
"The General truly speaks boastfully, delusionally thinking of destroying this noble body born of the Ambrosial Arbor." Phantylia easily broke the moves of Dan Heng and Welt, continuing to mock:
"In Phantylia's eyes, you are all as insignificant as ants right now."
With a flick of her finger, a gale rose within the Ambrosial Arbor, almost making March 7th lose her footing.
At the same time, the branches of the Ambrosial Arbor grew from the ground, controlling Stelle and Jing Yuan.
"Hehe~ Benefactors, your General just said... to have a fair and just battle, don't be impatient~" Phantylia, having been baptized by [Eternity], knew well that she absolutely couldn't let Stelle get hold of the hourglass necklace.
"Now... try to break free from this cage."
"Mere vines, severed with one sword stroke."
"Bravado." Phantylia's contemptuous laughter echoed in the delve.
"Hey, treating this young lady as air! Don't get distracted!"
Very quickly, March 7th used the water gun in her hand to fire a burst of ice bullets, severing the vines binding Stelle.
"Good chance!"
Stelle quickly took out the reserved soap. This thing was much more useful than a baseball bat—a Noble Phantasm against [Destruction]! Direct ranged attack!
Phantylia almost jumped out of her skin. When did this soap appear?!
Not good! The situation has changed!
Watching the soap coming straight for her, Phantylia was still thinking about how to deal with it, but on second thought... she seemed to have the dual blessing of [Abundance] and [Destruction] now. Why should she fear an inconspicuous soap?
So, Master Phan, who had been busy for a few seconds, gave up struggling and planned to tank this hit.
Yaoshi help me... oh no, Lord Nanook help me!
Boom!
The moment the soap collided with her, the number of ten cups of milk tea she had pocketed clearly decreased by one, canceling out the violent Imaginary energy generated by the soap explosion.
Seeing herself unharmed, not even a speck of dust left on her, Phantylia couldn't help covering her face and laughing.
[Elation] really didn't deceive her!
...
Meanwhile, as Phantylia fought fiercely with the Astral Express, the invisible Adrian was hiding somewhere, conversing with an equally invisible Mask.
"You're saying... all ten cups of special effects milk tea were fed to Phantylia?" Adrian's mouth twitched. Are you kidding me?
Drinking HIS [Eternity] milk tea to beat HIS people?
"Aha~ How about it, old friend, isn't it a surprise? You know... to crush an ant, nothing is more suitable than dropping a star."
