Chapter 226: "Bastards! How dare you kill our senior brother!" "Do you think that you own this place!?" "Die!" Angel, Kali, and Sarah were surprised and tried to react to their attacks. They turned around and tried to summon their defensive methods. Still, before they could do anything, a golden light shone above them, carrying a scorching heat and tremendous strength. Yasenia had already perceived their killing intent and was waiting for them to move. The moment they moved to attack them, Yasenia had already turned and was looking at them with indifferent eyes. She took a step forward toward the approaching attacker, her hand resembling the shape of a claw. Then, she swept it toward the group of cultivators. Her hand seemed to slash through a viscous liquid instead of air because of the strength as she chanted. "[Sun Dragon Claw]." A ten-meter life-like golden Dragon claw manifested above Yasenia's head. It followed Yasenia's movement as it descended on the five attackers with tyrannical strength. The heat it released made the attackers sweat even before it reached them, filling their faces with despair. The air ripped apart and burned, and the claw finally slammed the five of them. The five cultivators with cultivations between the seventh and ninth levels didn't even have a chance to resist as the claw exploded in front of them. *BOOOM!* Â golden fire explosion consumed everything before Yasenia, turning those five into ashes. The attack left fifty meters of scorched pavement before Yasenia. Yasenia said, reminding Kali and Angel, "Here, we can't act as brazen as we do in the Sky Continent, my loves. People aren't afraid of attacking us in retaliation. The only reason we could act without thinking a lot about the consequences was that mom always covered us." Angel and Kali were a little surprised because of the attack. However, after hearing Yasenia's words, they looked at Yasenia, filled with guilt. Angel said, "Sorry, I shouldn't have killed him..." Yasenia smiled tenderly and gathered both of them in her soft embrace. They sank into Yasenia's body comfortably as her mellow voice caressed their hearing sense. "Remember, baby, honey. When you deal with someone, you must take into account who is behind them. The only reason I acted rampant outside the secret realm is that I know Mom will deal with the things I'm not able to." Kali and Angel snuggled closer to Yasenia and sniffed her scent. "We will be careful." Yasenia kissed the top of their heads with a soft kiss and released them. Then, she ruffled their hair lovingly. "I know you will, you both are clever girls." Sarah was still in shock. Thankfully, the attack didn't leave evidence of the bodies of the cultivators, so it was easier to take than the brutal deaths she had seen before. Yasenia looked at her and patted her head once, "Let's go." Yasenia looked at the cultivators' resentful looks and said, her voice spread around and carried [Dragon Strength]. "I know it sucks, but this benefit is something I gained challenging the Heaven Gate and putting my life on the line. I don't mind betting my life again to gain the rewards I'm entitled to receive. If you think you are strong enough to stop me, I'm willing to fight with you in a spar, and not a life and death battle." Yasenia's pupils thinned, and she spread her aura, exploding like a dragon roar! *ROAAR!* As the phantom dragon behind her appeared, Yasenia challenged everyone present. "Let's see who dares stop me!" Yasenia said, "Leave it, they've just lost someone important. You've seen how injured and tired they were. Even if the monolith is healing them, the mental tiredness still remains." Yasenia looked at the three women and said, "Do not relax or hold back when fighting. If you have to use treasures to survive, use them. Remember that a treasure, no matter its rarity, is never as valuable as life." The four of them nodded and pressed their palm on the tall monolith. All the lines from the monolith lit up, and a white and blue sphere surrounded the four of them. Angel's eyes looked with wonder at the complex formation patterns. 'So similar to those outside.' However, before Angel could look more closely, they disappeared from their spot with a flash of light. When Yasenia came back to herself, she was standing in a rocky canyon. The canyon was at least two kilometers wide and impossibly tall. Behind her, an enormous wall, at least 200 meters tall, was blocking the wide passage. A shadow was cast on the whole canyon because the sun couldn't shine through unless it were the hours around noon. Yasenia observed the fortress. Artillery and other siege weapons were above it, each operated by five humans. Suddenly, she heard a man's gruff voice, it carried a commanding tone worthy of a General, and his aura was like a mountain, firm and unmovable. "Today, many of us will die! Today, our blood will flow like a river! However, today, we are here to protect our country! Today, we are here to ascend to immortality through our merits, making our country prosper eternally with our blood and sweat!" Following this speech, countless battle cries echoed in the canyon. Even Yasenia felt a rush of motivation. Then, she heard the general shout, "The enemy is strong. However, before us, there is a hero! She will hold on against the cruel beasts trying to rob our country of the peace we've fought for centuries! Our job is to help the hero kill, kill, and kill again until they don't dare take a step through here!" Yasenia nodded, understanding the setting. 'I'm the country's hero and about to defend against a powerful wave of beasts. Now... Should I follow the general's orders or use them as meat shields to be able to last more? I don't know how the monolith considers the trial completed. ' She didn't have to think about it much longer since she heard a voice in her head, the same aged male voice as before. 'The number of people in the fortress is 500. To pass the test, 100 people shall survive, and the wall shall not fall. If you survive but fail any conditions after killing all the enemies, you will not gain any Trial Points. Finishing with more than 450 People and eighty percent structure integrity will give bonus rewards.' Yasenia sighed, 'And there goes my plan... Crumbling down even before I could think about it deeply.' Yasenia then felt the floor trembling and looked across the canyon. There, at least 1 000 foot soldiers ran in coordinated steps. The frontline had shields and spears, and the others had a sword. They had a line of 80 archers in the back. One human rode a horse with full body armor between those troops and carried big momentum. Yasenia analyzed their strength and frowned. 'The weakest of them is at the initial levels of the Body Modification Realm, and the strongest, the horse riding man, is in the first level of the Mental Nourishing realm.' Yasenia made a plan extremely quickly. 'Break the frontline with brute force, kill the commander, and, if I had problems reaching the commander, move to the backline using the canyon walls and eliminate the archers. Then, slaughter the rest coordinating with the weapons in and above the wall.' Yasenia unfurled her aura and shouted. "Let the war begin! For our country, for our families, for ourselves!" Then, she gathered energy in her throat and roared with all her might! *ROAR!* The soldiers on the wall followed her. "RHAAA!!!!"
