Chapter 220: After nuzzling with Angel a little bit in a lovely exchange, Yasenia said, "Although this is a guess. It is quite easy to see that the Mortal Gate shoots one lightning, the Earth Gate shoots two, and the Heaven Gate shoots three. Which one will you choose?" Angel looked at Yasenia and said with conviction, "Since external aid is okay to use. I will go to the Heaven Gate." "No." Was what Yasenia wanted to answer. How she wished Angel and Kali wouldn't take the high risk that the Heaven gate posed and entered through the Earth Gate. However, she knew that they were their own person, and they were also strong. Yasenia said as a last desperate attempt at changing Kali's and Angel's intentions. "I know you are strong and you want to prove yourself, but remember that demon. Are you confident in defeating him? You are not, right? The Heaven Gate was able to kill him." Angel frowned and said, "But that was because he was weakened! Didn't you also say that he would be able to pass without problems with the proper preparation? If he can, then so do I." Yasenia shot herself in the foot with her previous comments! She looked at Angel and sighed, defeated by those determined big blue eyes. "Well, you are not a weak woman. First, see if your summons are allowed. If they are, then you can try the Heaven gate. Kali, I will tell you the same; unless your summons are allowed, you can only go through the Earth Gate." Kali and Angel nodded seriously. They have been training these months, and although they can't win against Yasenia in a spar, they aren't weak by any means. Moreover, if their summons couldn't accompany them inside the Heaven Gate, they would be the first to change their objective toward the Earth Gate. Even if they had their own pride, you have to ask yourself this.; what is more important? Being able to impress Yasenia, showing their courage and strength by passing the Heaven Gate? Or being able to remain alive to receive Yasenia's pampering? That's right, that isn't even a question! When they approached the Heaven gate, the people surrounding the gates observed them. Besides that man Yasenia helped, there haven't been many more people entering. Those that managed to enter went through the Mortal Gate, and there were even some people that passed through the Waste Gate. Yasenia had seen through her periphery that there wasn't a trial for those that crawled through that Gate or, more appropriately, that hole in the wall. Kali summoned five dryads and commanded them to enter through the Gate. The Gate didn't react and let the summons pass. But when they were about to pass without a trial, an invisible aura burst the five dryads into pieces. They didn't even have a chance to resist as their bodies exploded. Yasenia nodded, "So you can fight with them, but if the summons tries to advance past the Gate, they will be eliminated." Angel golems had a similar reaction, letting Yasenia be at ease. Yasenia looked at them and smiled, "Baby, Honey go for it. I will be looking from here." They both nodded and prepared. Angel summoned ten Glass Golems and strengthened them all she could with different skills. Kali summoned a total of ten treants and five caster dryads, all led by the [Golden Crown]. She also used her reinforcement skills on them, but she reserved some for later. The reasons they didn't summon more were two. The first and less important one, because the Gate's corridor wasn't too wide, but they could have summoned double the summons to enter without a problem. The second and most important one was that their reinforcement skills couldn't be applied to many summons. Their current summons already occupied a big part of their meridian energy flowing capacity, so summoning more and buffing them will only increase their energy consumption and meridian strain. This was one of the reasons that people didn't just spam skills in combat and used attacks. It was like lifting a weight, you can do it continuously, but even if the weight is small, it will eventually lead to the person's incapability to hold them longer. The skills also had their own "weight" when they used them. Then, they went forward and entered the wide and tall Heaven gate with confident steps. Yasenia's whole body was as taut as a tensed bow, prepared to shoot forward at any moment. Even Sarah and the other woman could feel Yasenia's tension and aura. The moment they stepped into the corridor leading toward the inside of the town, two lightning bolts charged and shot toward Angel and Kali simultaneously. Angel and Kali weren't stupid, so they didn't waste their summons with the weak lightning, tanking it themselves. They rather become somewhat injured than lose one summon to this relatively weak lightning. Angel didn't do the same with the second one and reinforced it with all her strength. The rest of the lightning landed on the Golem standing before herself. The power was too great for the reinforced Golem, bursting it into pieces. Angel observed the lighting becoming weaker but not disappearing. Angel prepared her shield, and like before, she parried the lightning masterfully, sliding even less than with the first. Angel thought, 'So exploding them is more effective than letting them block... Good to know.' The quick-witted little Angel sent the two golems instead of only one for this reason. She wanted to test which method was more effective to counter the third bolt better. Meanwhile, Kali used a new skill she acquired called [Overgrowth]. The skill would make one of her plant summons berserk, increasing its strength exponentially. Kali had tested that a single Treant with [Overgrowth] could fight against five treants without it. However, the cost was that the summon would die after using it for a short while. [Overgrowth] was created after her recent research in life energy; it ignited the life energy inside the summon to strengthen it temporarily. The other limitation was that she could only strengthen two summons simultaneously, similar to the previous limit of her skill [Nature's Blessing]. Even so, after ingesting the [Attribute enhancement pills], Kali had more mastery over the Life and Nature attributes, elevating [Nature's Blessing] to five summons. However, even if the summons would die shortly after the activation, in this case, it was worth it since the powerful lightning would obliterate them anyway. The lightning bolt smashed the first empowered treant, blasting it into pieces, and continued forward. The second treant's fate wasn't any different as the bolt's power crushed it and zoomed toward the remade wooden walls. Then, Five continuous explosions signified the destruction of five out of the six [Root Walls]. The weakened lightning bolt managed to smash through the last wall and rapidly approached Kali. It was clear that the difference in strength from the first to the second bolt was high. Kali took out her sword and swung it toward the lightning bolt with all her strength. Sword and lightning clashed, creating a shockwave and moving Kali some steps back. However, the lightning was so weakened that it only did slight burn damage to her skin. Kali didn't even flinch at that level of pain. The people around went crazy with excitement! "They are so powerful!" "Worthy of Academy students. Even if they are in the eighth level, they aren't any weaker than a half-step!" "I really want to see that veiled woman's face. With that much talent and elegance when waving her sword, she must be fairy-like under the veil." Yasenia's smile was now wide and prideful, and her tail wagged happily. 'Of course they are excellent! Praise them, praise them more!' Yasenia really wanted to shout to the world that those excellent women were hers, but Yasenia knew that it was far from over, and her body was still extremely tense. At this moment, the third lightning came into being and rumbled with terrible momentum, making Yasenia's tail stiffen together with the rest of her body. Her pupils were thinned to vertical lines as she leaned forward. The accumulated strength inside of her was so high that the floor under Yasenia was cracking slowly, her toe-tip sinking into the floor slightly. Just a small trigger, and our dragoness would become a literal arrow as she zoomed forward. Angel had placed the remaining eight golems in front of her, ready to blow all of them up. However, this wasn't all. After training a lot with Yasenia and Tatyana, their battle approaches have become cautious but proactive, which means that no matter the strength of their adversaries, they would always assume that their opponent is stronger than what appears on the surface. Slowly but surely, they are becoming people that would hunt a rabbit with all their strength before confirming that it was indeed a normal rabbit. Therefore, Angel had prepared another formation for this last lightning. It was her reliable [Laser Prison Formation]. As Angel chanted, the glass nodes in the surrounding lit up and shot colorful lights in different directions, creating a beautiful geometrical pattern. During these months, Angel improved this formation and was able to skip the combination step, making its creation much swifter. The third lighting shot out with a terrible rumbling sound! Kali and Angel looked at it with serious gazes as their used their resources without holding back!
