Once Luna was done berating Nyx, she equipped a stance with the blade behind her as if she was preparing for some samurai-style quick-draw attack. It didn’t take her more than a fraction of a second to channel her storm powers as she unleashed [Thunder Slash]. A glowing and crackling shockwave of storm energy burst forth from her blade, slicing through the air in a brilliant streak of lightning. It hit one of the creepers, and the resounding impact detonated, leaving the creature convulsing before falling to the ground. The remaining two creepers retaliated by whipping their tentacles toward her in a wild frenzy. Luna smirked, "Aww… They’re kinda cute, maybe we should keep one as our pet. I bet the submissive bimbo would love it." She then sent a meaningful glance toward Kaiden, in which she wordlessly asked how he felt about using his [Monster Girl Subjugation] on one of them. This skill of his required him to sexually dominate a monster into complete submission, and it only had three charges, meaning he could only subjugate three monsters. Not only was this one too weak for Kaiden’s tastes, but their ugly mushroom-like appearance didn’t manage to get him going, to say the least. Thus, he could only eye the purple-haired beauty wryly, letting her know that her suggestion was denied. Luna giggled, "Well, then…" She activated [Lightning Step], which caused her body to vanish in a flash of light as she zipped past them, leaving behind faint traces of electricity. The enemies twitched and hissed as the charged trail seared them, however, that was the least of their problems because Luna appeared behind one with her blade being mid-swing already. The creeper let out a screech just before it was sliced into clean halves. The final creeper activated its defensive measures. Now that its enemy was in melee range, it could bring out more of its abilities. The glowing of its body intensified significantly, flooding the area with a blinding light, after which a sickly green mist began to seep into the air. The aura of poison was unmistakable. Luna desummoned her blade, and with a snap of her fingers, she conjured [Aero Repulsion], materializing a powerful gust of wind that roared out from her to disperse the toxic cloud and shove the creeper back. She was not the Electro Valkyrie but the Storm Valkyrie. Lightning was merely part of the storm, not its entirety. Wind played a major role in storms, which was reflected in this wind elemental spell of hers. The monster was blasted into the air, and before it could land, a silvery projectile shaped like a crescent moon whizzed through the air, piercing the ugly monster cleanly, resulting in a big gaping hole appearing in its body. Luna’s head snapped in Aria’s direction, who still had her staff aimed directly at the monster she had killed. The purple-haired beauty accused her instantly, "Kill steal!" "I’m the ranger of the group. You pushing the enemy away from yourself was you asking me to step in, as far as I’m concerned," Aria defended herself. "Damn, I hit the nail on its head when I cooked up the title of chaos gremlin for you, bestie…" Nyx giggled amusedly while observing the chaotic destruction her friend had caused. She could only imagine how much of a menace Luna would end up becoming when she got stronger. Before Luna could retort, a new monster’s roar sounded from dangerously close. <Silverback Mauler - Level 6> It was the same monster that nearly ended all three of them when they chased after Theodore, who kidnapped Luna. "Perfect, I always wanted to murder a few of these disgusting creatures…" Aria murmured ominously. Her usual, cheery attitude was nowhere to be seen, replaced by the aura of a bloodthirsty demoness who bore such a great grudge against this entity that it could only be repaid in blood. "How dare you almost kill my boyfriend?! I’ll make such a nice coat out of your silvery fur Bal*nciaga will come begging me to sign a designer contract!" The fact that it was a different monster of the same kind didn’t seem to bother the girl at all. The Moon Valkyrie’s unexpected shift in her demeanor made both girls reluctant to intervene in her fight. Aria unleashed [Crescent Volley], which saw her release a machine-gun-like barrage of small silvery moonlight projectiles. The rapid-fire assault pelted the silverback mauler endlessly, each strike leaving minuscule scorch marks on its thick hide. However, the monster’s tough exterior, which had previously repelled even Kaiden’s axe slash that was bolstered by [Doom Strike], held firm once again, showing only minor signs of damage. The silverback growled with fury before its bloodshot eyes locked onto Aria. The monster charged forward like a freight train. Despite its intimidating, rapidly encroaching large frame, Aria didn’t falter; her barrage continued without pause, filling the air with streaks of luminous projectiles. Crescent Volley was a unique spell in the sense that it could theoretically go on forever. The only thing that prevented that from becoming reality was that each second it was active, it would cost its caster mana. It became evident she couldn’t stop the monster in time, thus, she activated [Lunar Glide]. Her body lifted ever so slightly off the ground, letting the girl hover in the air an inch or so above the surface. She began to glide backward while still facing the charging silverback. Aria’s movements were graceful and fluid as if she were skating on an invisible sheet of ice, and throughout it all, her unrelenting volley of projectiles continued, assaulting the enraged monster. Its fury only seemed to grow as a result, evidenced by the fact it completely ignored the three observers as it rushed past them to catch the annoying little fly that was the Moon Valkyrie in its eyes. "Hmm..." Aria mused as she analyzed the beast’s sturdy hide. "Its defenses are truly annoying… No wonder we struggled so much back then. However, times have changed." Her [Crescent Volley] ceased abruptly when she raised her staff, and an intense force began gathering at its tip. The glow kept intensifying from one moment to the next, pulsing with power as she concentrated her mana into her upcoming attack. The silverback mauler showed no signs of care or sense of danger as it kept charging toward her, determined to reach its prey. Lacking ranged attacks, this was the only combat style it knew. But before it could get too close, Aria cast the charged-up spell, "[Lunar Overload]!" The spell erupted from the tip of her staff in the form of a massive beam of pure moonlight. The radiant projectile tore through the air and struck the bear square in the face. Its skull immediately shattered on impact as the powerful energy obliterated its head. The force behind her attack didn’t stop there; the beam barreled through the rest of its body, leaving a gaping hole through its chest and reducing much of its flesh to ash. What remained of the monster collapsed in a heap. Its body was destroyed beyond recognition. Aria’s hovering maneuvers came to a halt, and she lowered her staff with a condescending grin visible on her face. She observed her enemy’s gored corpse with hateful eyes for a few seconds before scoffing, "Hmph! This is what happens to bitches who dare hurt my Kai!" A great deal of venom brewed in her voice as a possessiveness gleamed in her eyes. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
