Yao Yao And Miriam
The moment that Diana threw herself and instantly initiated a fight against Sylda one-on-one, the rest of both sides that were all around the two of them also sprung up to action. Some of the Imperishable Guild members went to help Sylda deal with the genius combat-master that is Diana but were sent easily away by a flick of Sylda's head which they then obediently left her side to combat the others.
In but a mere few moments, members from both Associations were now heavily engaging against each other. There was one clear notoriety, that was; The Order's side had much more elite-level of players and, couple with those elite players having such precious and attractive equipment that all radiated a slight ethereal aura of golden-violet, it made it all harder for the Imperishable Guild to maintain their foothold.
On the other hand, however, there was the skill that Sylda just used from her Legendary Hidden Class on all of her people which that alone made it so that her players were actually able to 2v1 the Maidens from The Order while some of them were grouped against to and only lasted for about 10 seconds before their HP reached 0; not before lowering so much HP of their killers though.
Fortunately, there was Sash who jumped and dashed around to aid those Maidens who were the next victims of the grouping Imperishable Guild players after the initial few 7 Maidens died. Even then though, if it was already difficult to deal with so many opponents on their own in which they couldn't deal barely much damage due to the limitations of the tournament, Sash could only deal with 2 at the same time but she was also being capable of killing them at the same time with how she danced around and dodged, feinted and accurately hit her opponents in ways that they couldn't expect it. Even going as far as to use her Dragon Inspired Lord Spear as a stick to spin around a few times some times and to push away enemies as if she was trying to group them right before delivering a fatal bout of AOE basic attacks in front of her.
Miriam was hiding somewhere atop the walls of the citadel while Sammy had already taken out 3 of enemy players, blinking in and out of existence without leaving a trace of her movements once she went dark, unlike before without the Dark Enshrouding Armor Set and both her Dark Fang, Bloody Vendetta daggers. Capable of moving very fast while in her dark hiding-like skill, Sammy moved faster than what she attacked, and that was a lot to say considering she could kill any enemy one-on-one in just 3 seconds despite the severely limited damage situation.
Itnia and Natalia were hard at work, keeping those with the best chances to win a fight alive and free of CC effects; Itnia's buffs were making the lives of The Order Maidens' much more tranquil even when facing 1 extra enemy player or even 2 momentarily. Leaving only a few seconds left for them to be rescued by one of The Order's lone wolves such as Sash or for another group of The Order to finish up their enemy group team to help them up swipe the rest of Imperishable Guild enemy players.
Yao Yao was too busy to keep the Godly Elemental Divine Citadel still at 'work' by having some things about to be finished up, so she was basically absent from the fight but was obviously not counted as a default by the system due to the execution of her Godly Elemental Divine Citadel skill.
At the same time that the battle had been ongoing for 50 seconds though, all the way back to where The Order had left those 'missile launchers' and an Elements Prodigy and two Otherworldly Elementalists, were also now finally getting to work. After standing still or seated on the floor for a good while, seemingly in some kind of meditation, they sprung to action as they went towards each improvised missile launcher and began to coat them with their own colorful energies.
The Elements Prodigy was using mostly light green and a metallic-grey energies to coat the improvised missile launchers themselves while using some fiery energy to coat the 'missiles' instead. On the other hand, from the two Otherworldly Elementalists; one of them was using bright purple energy that would sometimes travel as and with the shape of a snake towards some smaller parts of the improvised missile launchers and then fully coating the improvised missiles. The other Otherworldly Elementalist was using a dark, strong grey colored energy to seemingly instill it deep inside the improvised missiles, taking her job of doing just that extremely carefully and with even the other two Maidens worriedly glaring at her; working.
Back to the battlefield, as Itnia was proud to see a little grin and a pair of acknowledging eyes from Yun Beishang, and then went back to look at the extremely long TV screen; she then finally saw one of the most deciding moments of the battle that she herself -obviously- experienced with complete actual time shock!
Whoosh, swish swish!
Suddenly, as Sylda barely managed to parry off the attack from Diana's right-handed Chemical-Tech Empowered Dust-Bombers, still receiving a small explosion on her shield as Sylda was forced 3 steps back by actually jumping backwards from the impact!
But, at that moment, Sylda suddenly frowned while Diana was still going against her with her entire concentration and without making unnecessary cheeky grins at Sylda from adverting her gaze. Because, right now, Sylda was flabbergasted looking at the top of the walls were dozens upon dozens of soldiers made of the same fiery energy that the entire citadel was made of now appeared on top of them and were all holding a mobile but huge and large cannon below their right or left armpit and, most important of it all... they were all aiming at her people!
Tshin, tshin, tshin~!!
At this time, as if that shocking sight wasn't enough, Sylda then instantly saw the incredible yet again. Glints of white lights appeared behind each mobile cannon being handled by each fiery energy figure, and at a certain spot in the middle of the citadel and right below Yao Yao who was impossible to reach by the attacks of the Imperishable Guild; Yunalesca finally appeared!
With her eccentric-lioness mask on her, she appeared graceful with her plain pure white tunic-dress, her feet were extremely slender that even below her dress's skirt, it could be easily seen how fair they were along with her legs. After she stepped for the third time, she stopped and looked directly at the Imperishable Guild's side, whereas Yao Yao who was right above her lowered her gaze and did the same; her palms connecting to each other as the fiery energy figures had their cannons begin to emanate an even more fiery and obscure energy from their mouths!
Miriam, at this moment, made a light graceful set of movements with her arms, bringing them from the center of her belly to above her head with her arms fully extended out in a diamond shape. Right after, the brilliant white glows behind the fiery energy figures began to merge with the back-shoulder that was holding the cannon and got immediately incorporated into the inside of each cannon.
To this, Sylda reacted by furiously stomping down on Diana's chest after Sylda made a sudden and forceful jump upwards and slashed at her and bashed at her with her sword and shield respectively to which Diana had to cover from the top of her head to her breasts with her Chemical-Tech Empowered Dust-Bombers.
Right after, Sylda reunited every single one of her people; to do that, most of those who were still fighting the Maidens chose to sacrifice themselves and allowed their teammates to go back in line along their Leader. Hell, some of them even managed to kill a Maiden before finally dying themselves, Yun Beishang had to train them his way if he wanted to fix those mistakes from his little maids and maids; ah.
In but 2 moments, all of Sylda's remaining people went back to their Leader and grouped up with Sylda at the center and everyone else forming an incredibly tight and amass of bodies but with yet leaving a 10cm space away from touching Sylda. As if, having took the formation of a ring made to fully protect but not impair movement to one sole person; which was Sylda.
Right after, she began to conjure with her hands a powerful energy that radiated a pitch-black color and a feeling of lost. At the same time, the cannons from the fiery figures were all ready to go, and some of them had even begun to shoot at the amassed pile of soon-to-become-corpses bodies of the Imperishable Guild players.
P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN! P-KAN!
Wong~, tsha-tsha-sheeeeeng~...
As those cannonballs were shoot, having a body radiating full fiery energy but also enhanced to become much sharper and even electric-like by the addon of Miriam's Light Core Element manipulation; time seemingly stopped and continued at an extremely slowed down speed with those cannonballs whose each speed was of more than the sniper rifles shooting semi-energy bullets from New Earth.
At such a moment, Sylda's hands became extensively covered by a pitch-black energy, looking to be both shadowy and fiery as well. In but less than an instant, the image of a huge thorax from an immense being wearing armor was created from bottom to top in an incredibly exquisite and thin manner. It covered 20 meters all around Sylda, more than enough to protect the remaining 19 players that were left from this battle and who still had 20 more seconds of the Imperishable low-incomplete mode from Sylda's skill.
That was when... the cannonballs finally hit, and before Sylda and her people could become hopeful with their hearts already planning of their next aggressive move as soon as these cannonballs landed on their Leader's impenetrable shielding-skill, the very first fiery-light cannonball to hit Sylda's shielding skill made big ass cracks with 5 meters of diameter all around it; mercilessly shattering their hopes and inducing them in a slight state of despair instead!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!...
CRACK-CRACK!!! CRACK-CRACK!!! Crrrrr~CRACK-CRACK!!! CRACK-CRACK!!! SPLASH!!!!
The armored thorax that Sylda put up was cracked, cracked and almost broken before it actually managed to resist it at last, allowing everyone inside her skill to know that at least 1 cannonball wasn't enough to break it; but there were dozens upon dozens of them. Another cannonball hit the armored thorax, cracking it even wilder as the entire thing was cracked all over this time as a result from the same king of power hitting it for the second time.
But just as the armored thorax was about to finally break, it healed itself completely back up in a moment. Like a roller coaster, once again before the Imperishable Guild 19 players could regain hope, they saw the next cannonball hit the armored thorax in the same manner than before, making many cracks with 5 meters of diameter each, and before long, the second one that was the most disastrous one hit...
Like this, over and over again, the people inside the armored thorax went up and down the roller coaster and felt their brains so numb that they could only wait for all the cannonballs to finish hitting the armored thorax. There was, however, a misconception. As the Godly Elemental Divine Citadel was only operated to the utmost basics from within the capabilities of the skill, it was more than entirely new for anybody and not just Sylda to witness its capability of creating little beings with large cannons that could shoot extremely powerful cannonballs.
As such, there was no information whatsoever about it, and in fact, only the crowd outside watching 8 different ongoing battles at the same time could discern this peculiarity of Yao Yao's skill not only being able to do just that; forming up some beings and cannons. But also, of shooting not just more than once, but multiple times in just a mere second!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Yun Beishang, just like the crowd at that time, was his first time witnessing Yao Yao's incredible capabilities with just one mere skill. But for him, it was to be expected for the skills of her All-Creation Fairy Universal Hidden Class to be so magical and magnificent, after all, it was given to her by his Little Rosey!
However, as far as Yao Yao's very own capabilities, though the actual Yun Beishang couldn't determine what was so special about her even on New Earth; seeing his little monkey be capable of such a thing amazed him and made him completely proud of her. Very fucking much.
Twenty seconds went out like that, Yao Yao obviously couldn't know when Sylda's skill would cool off, but she could sense anything inside her Godly Elemental Divine Citadel. It was more than easy to tell when each of the Imperishable Guild players' 'Imperishable low-incomplete mode' was finally over as they all lost their armored energy surrounding certain parts of their bodies without matching.
As such, when Yao Yao saw it come off at last, and as a little bit of sparkling blood came out of her left nostril, she finally separated her palms from one another slowly and seemingly hurting before abruptly separating them with her chest sticking out. Yao Yao felt the immense need to gasp for air as she felt her lungs suddenly come to life, as if they were all locked up and constricted against just a second before.
Naturally, Yao Yao slowly levitated down and as she did, a strangely worried Miriam touched Yao Yao's left arm and comforted her. To which a surprised Yao Yao smiled ruefully in thanks before stumbling slightly over, ending up leaning against Miriam's right shoulder. The citadel around them was already dissipated fully and only small flaming snakes remained dancing in the air for about 3 seconds before drifting into nothingness.
Miriam blinked and in Yun Beishang's opinion, she surely made a few billion more of fans right then and there even as he wasn't there nor was he interested in watching the crowds on the TV. But right at this moment as Miriam was slightly touching Yao Yao's right cheek as she sleepily had her eyes closed with her other left cheek against Miriam's fine and delicate arm; Miriam instead felt great danger incoming!
More than 100 meters away, where smoke was still slightly abundant and there was a small crater on the incredibly tough arena's floor; a sudden enormous sword's tip made of a dull grey colored energy was instantly sent forth towards both Miriam and Yao Yao!
Miriam saw it first and detected it even much faster before and was already condensing a Light Builder Creator - Dispersing Light; but it wouldn't be enough, and Yao Yao knew it. As soon as Miriam chose to 'sacrifice' Yao Yao a headache by letting her fall to the ground, Yao Yao struggled to stand on her feet and made a sudden quick rush at the incoming dull grey energy sword, shocking Miriam, Natalia and an exhausted Itnia to the core.
Little Yao Yao Yao, All-Creation Fairy Divine Apparition!
TSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING~!!!!!
Immediately after, Yao Yao's body was engulfed by a golden aura from the very center of her abdomen; then, right after, seven different colors manifested all around her out of nowhere and began surrounding her in a small manner. A moment later, with Yao Yao's body as the center, an enormous figure that reached to the skies and that wore an incredible-looking and conservative dress appeared in an ethereal form. At that instant, the remaining 3 survivors that no one could see, along Sylda; were suddenly struck completely out of sorts and had expressions of fear while a swamp-light green color emanated from their eye sockets.
At the same time, Yao Yao was moving in circles, also spinning her body nonstop but slowly as both her wrists remained adjoined to one another without separating one single tiny wee bit. And then, there was the dull grey energy shadow that was previously moving fearlessly and intelligently towards Yao Yao and seemingly getting a new direction to go for Yunalesca after impaling Little Yao Yao Yao; suddenly became rigid and followed one single direction, all while it began to slowly dissipate away amidst its traversed path.
A few tens of meters back, Miriam had created another 3 Dispersing Light besides the first one and was about to use both the Myriad Creations of Light and Remodeling of Light skills to have a stronger impact and even create additional True Damage respectively; but she was, as well, immediately shocked as she saw Yao Yao's HP lower by 35% to 6,500 and had her MP and Stamina lowered to almost 0%.
Not only that, but... as Yao Yao finished her dance, she glanced back at Miriam, and as her tired eyes landed on Miriam, the dull grey energy shield behind Yao Yao penetrated her abdomen from the back and sent some smaller little sword made of the same color and with a shadow-flame consistency towards her, making small wounds that burned out the blood that tried to come out of her body at an instant.
Yao Yao's HP ultimately hit 0, and she noiselessly disappeared from Miriam's eyes as she felt quite a bit touched, impacted and even thankful as; even though this was not 'just a game', it was only a tournament with no one's lives in danger. Yet Miriam was still touched by Yao Yao who never really contacted with her before, in a sense, it was cute but silly too.
Whistle~... whistle~... whistle~... whistle~...
At that instant, several dozens of objects with a cylindrical shape moved high up in the sky from the side that The Order came from and instantly became like a flock of flood dragons that left trails of Elemental and Core Elemental energy as they each directed themselves towards the remaining 4 players of the Imperishable Guild.
Hearing those, Sylda felt like she had already lost, she was almost fully without any resources left and her 3 remaining players were a bit low on HP as well. Naturally, however, the Imperishable Guild wouldn't just give up, even less so at this moment.
As Sylda closed her eyes instead of seeing the incoming 'missiles' come their way and as Miriam sent out her incredibly enhanced 600 weapons made of light; be it small spears, sabers, katanas and even javelins and arrows. At the same time, Sylda's HP that was around 80% full, suddenly drained to 10% of her total HP.
Whistle~, whistle~, whistle~... BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM-SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH!!!
The missiles finally landed, and they all created a different color of explosions as well as leaving a kind of secondary effect in the air, when several of them exploded so close altogether, a special new explosion resounded that combined more than 1 Element and even Core Element. There was, however, a discrepancy for as; Sylda and her remaining 3 players were fine under small dome-shaped grey colored energy 'thing' that was extremely similar to the armored thorax from before, but this time, extremely more powerful instead.

Let It Rain's Note: Guess I lied? Anyways, next chapter, for sure Q_Q .
