"Impossible!!! Only the Sun Family has such skill!!! How did you have it!!" He yelled, his composure cracking.
"Sun family?" Elizabeth was stunned, her eyes widening.
"I knew it." Zoginoi nodded his head slowly, his enhanced eyes tracking the flow of energy. "She is the only survivor from the Sun family... With her position, she is the current heir."
He swallowed hard. "If she really is the Sun family's last heir, and gotten the Sun family title, and also upgraded it... She is technically invincible, even to the Azul... With this skill, and her monstrous physical damage. She is untouchable." He muttered, looking down at his trembling hand.
"In all my lives, I have never felt this way."
Hitachi, Elizabeth, Cupcake, Grace, Carl, and their group stared at him in shock.
"Like I am a prey in front of an untouchable Predator... And she hasn't even gone all out yet." He said.
"Fufufu, that's Milady." Elizabeth said with a proud smile.
BOOOOM!!!
A wave of spirit energy burst out from the Crystal Emperor, shaking the very air.
"Your fucking Clan are the ones who trapped me for centuries!!! You will die!!!"
BOOOOM!!!
He shot forward, vanishing from sight entirely.
"This? I can't feel him! Not even his presence." Daniel gasped in shock, moving his Archer Gaze frantically over the battlefield.
"This battle is already decided." Hitachi dusted his shoulder, turning his back on the fight to look at Jessica, who stood some distance away, completely unaware of the chess game unfolding. "Just keep an eye on her." He added. The rest nodded, trusting his judgment.
In the battlefield, Mirabella moved her gaze calmly. She didn't need to see him; she saw the board.
The next moment, she threw her two swords into the air and slammed her palm on the ground.
"Pawns formation!! Horse formation! Bishop formation!! Queen Annihilation!! Start!!!"
The chess pieces she named instantly manifested around her, standing five feet tall and made of pure, condensed starlight. Four Bishops stood close to her in a defensive square, followed by four Horses behind them, then ten Pawns forming a phalanx, and lastly, the Queen appeared floating above her, majestic and terrifying.
"She... She is using the weakest attack formation? Does she look down on the Crystal Emperor that much??" Zoginoi was dumbfounded.
Mirabella smirked and closed her eyes.
"Tears of Swords."
One hundred swords instantly appeared, hovering in the air like a storm cloud.
"You!!"
BOOOOM!
The formations activated. Dark lines of binding energy shot out from all the chess pieces, converging on a specific empty point in space. They smashed into the invisible Crystal Emperor, binding him in place, revealing his shocked form.
"How?!!"
WHOOSH!!!
Before he could process the trap, the hundred swords shot forward, guided by the Queen piece. They slashed his body in a blur of motion, avoiding the chest entirely but shredding his limbs.
"Impossible!! I am immune to Physical attacks!! How can you??!!!"
The head yelled as it was severed, collapsing onto the ground and rolling to a stop, its eyes still fixed on Mirabella in disbelief. His body followed, crashing down and raising a cloud of smoke and dust.
"In front of the Queen, all immunity will be useless."
Mirabella raised one finger into the air.
"Annihilation Lightning!!"
BOOOOM!!!
Red lightning crackled in the clear blue sky and smashed into the ground, striking right on the severed head.
BOOOOM!!!
Smoke and dust rose into the air, obscuring the kill.
'Huh? Why can't I see through this lightning? What is happening in there?' Zoginoi thought with a frown, his vision blocked.
Inside the smoke, Mirabella swiftly extracted the heart from the fallen body, feeding it to the cocoon in her inventory before the lightning faded.
"Did she win?" Grace asked breathlessly.
The next moment, a blue screen appeared before everyone.
[WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: Spectral killed a Realm World Boss!! Gained 100% Neutral Reputation in all Empires and 90% discount in all Galaxy Fall stores.]
Mirabella's personal system log flooded her vision.
{Congratulations!! Host killed a Lv500 Realm World Boss, and gained two new titles: Unstoppable and Defender Of The Human Race.}
{Congratulations, Host copied all Crystal Emperor's skills.}
{Skills: Crystal Prison, Crystal Domain, Crystal Doom, Crystallization.}
{Congratulations, Host siphoned Crystal Emperor's complete health.}
{Congratulations, Host gained One Billion EXP.}
Mirabella moved her gaze around the smoke, her eyes glowing. She looked at her profile.
"Use all my EXP."
{Ok, Host.}
BOOOOM!!!
A terrifying aura burst out from the smoke, a shockwave of pure power that pushed everyone distance away, knocking them off the trees.
"This?!! Impossible!!" Elizabeth yelled in shock, shielding her face.
"She is advancing into a god level player!! Is that even possible! At such a young age?!" Zoginoi was horrified.
They all leaped from branch to branch, retreating until they were out of the forest entirely, landing on the sand of the lava fields.
"Her aura is this powerful?" Hitachi asked in disbelief. For the first time in his life, he felt truly inferior.
"Where?!! Where is Cupcake?!" Elizabeth asked in shock, scanning the destruction.
"Umm... Look over there?" Nina pointed at another beam of light, shooting into the air from the depths of the forest, right next to Mirabella's.
"I forgot that cat is her familiar. The stronger Mirabella gets, the stronger that Cat becomes." Elizabeth exhaled, staring at the two energy pillars piercing the sky.
"A new god level player has awakened, one who doesn't need awakening stones to achieve it. This hasn't been heard of before..." Janet said in a low, reverent voice.
"The world is about to change... With her, and her lineage backing her up. Mirabella will become a pillar in all worlds..." Zoginoi muttered. He waved his hand, his sunglasses reappearing, and placed them back on to hide his awe.
"Killing a Lv500 opponent without a single scratch... She is now beyond Lord Hayatobi." He added.
Everyone watched as the forest began to wither. The trees dried up, their life force sucked away by the intensity of the ascension. in less than five minutes, the lush forest was gone, leaving only skeletal, dried-up trees without a single leaf.
And beyond them, two figures walked towards the group, radiating so much spirit energy that the air itself seemed to bow.
"She actually succeeded."
