Chapter 964 Liliana
Running through the forest, Misu had a frown on her face since the relic appeared much sooner than expected. With where her camp was located, it would not survive a battle so it was best that she left the place for now.
'Thankfully the humans I saw earlier have retreated a safe distance away. With the Dragon Empress guarding the perimeter of the relic, she should be occupied for some time if the other Queen attack her all at once.' Misu thought to herself since the most dangerous person here is Syradil. If she gets the relic, everyone here will die.
Just as she was about to leave the area, she noticed that there was a Queen following her.
Furrowing her brows, she didn't hesitate to slam her hand down against the floor.
A circle of shadows exploded out as skeletal hands erupted from the ground.
"Che, I knew there was something disgusting about you. So you're a controller of undead." A hostile voice rang out as a woman revealed herself on a tree. She had blond hair that fluttered behind her as her crystalline blue eyes glared at Misu.
[Liliana LVL 630 Celestial Lightning Queen]
"And that makes me someone evil?" Misu replied with a smirk however she was worrying in her mind.
Since the enemy was a controller of lightning, her undead are going to be at a disadvantage against her.
"Yes. Anyone who defiles the circle of life is evil." Liliana retorted as she swiped down with her hand
Suddenly, a tier 6 magic circle appeared above Misu. Dark clouds instantly formed as Misu widened her eyes.
Slamming her hands together, layers upon layers of skeletal hands bloomed around her.
*BANG!!!!!!
Lightning flashed as the bones were shattered to ash without any resistance.
Gritting her teeth, Misu's body was flung back as she flipped in the air and drew a few runes in the air.
Spectral spears appeared as Misu sent them flying towards Liliana.
Narrowing her eyes, Liliana ducked down and dodged the spears.
Muttering a word under her breath, her body disappeared and appeared above MIsu.
There was an orb of lightning in her hands as Misu had a bad feeling about this orb.
Without hesitation, she spread her hands out in front of her as a gate opened between the two
"Jorna! Protect me!" Misu shouted out.
*URAHHHH!!
Letting out an ear shattering roar, a skeletal dragon head appeared from the portal as it tried to bite Liliana in half.
Clicking her tongue, Liliana redirected her attack towards the dragon instead.
*KSSHHH!!!!
Decimating the head in an instant, the body of the undead dragon slumped down for a moment before runes appeared in the air and it was repaired.
"Well aren't you hostile. Do you attack everyone you see?" Misu asked as she opened more portals with undead familiars surrounding her.
"I don't attack everyone I see. However, I cannot accept a hedonistic power like this to exist. As long as I'm around, I won't let you rest easily." Liliana replied as she stomped down.
Raising her hand into the sky, a tier 6 magic circle appeared as lightning flickered on her body.
"Stop her!" Misu commanded as she summoned a dagger and cut it across her palm.
Slamming her hand down into the ground, the blood started to spread out into the shape of a magic circle.
Seeing this, Liliana frowned as a lightning serpent coiled around her arm.
"Kill them quickly." Liliana ordered.
*HSSS!!!
Lashing towards the skeletal familiars, the snake enlarged its body as it swallowed all of them into its stomach and disintegrated them.
Flinching slightly, Misu gave them a silent prayer in her heart.
Before the snake could reach her, bloody chains erupted from the blood magic circle as Liliana felt disgusted at the sheer amount of miasma being released by Misu.
The tree's started to wither away as the area surrounding them started to change.
Realising that she was being dragged into a domain, Liliana clicked her tongue.
"I'll retreat today. But I'll be keeping an eye on you heathen."
Calling the snake back to her hand, she disappeared from her location as Misu sighed in relief.
Removing her hand from the ground, the chains started to disappear as a figure appeared behind Misu.
"For you to have tried to summon my true form, you must have been quite pressured huh?" Her subordinate asked as the shadows returned to his body.
"Well she was my direct counter so there wasn't much I could do. Setting that aside, did you manage to do what I asked of you or did my summoning stop you?" Misu apologised as she walked towards where her familiars were destroyed.
Waving her hand, small pieces of illusionary fragments of them gathered towards her hand as she couldn't help but feel her heart ache.
"May you have a better life next time. Thank you for your service." Misu sighed as she let the fragments drift off in the air.
"Your summoning did stop me but I was able to find out some information." The man shook his head as Misu raised her eyebrow.
"Oh? What did you find out?"
"Gods are involved. There are quite a few crests etched around the mountain and some of them are rather familiar. They're also the ones placing the corrosive aura around the place that prevents us from entering. Even with my current body, I wasn't able to stay in the aura for more than 10 minutes. If I was in my true form, I'd say I can stay for around 30 minutes since this is a zone with multiple gods working with one another." He replied as Misu furrowed her brows.
"That serious?"
"Mn. Though none of them have noticed me yet." He smiled as she sighed in relief.
"That's good."
"However, there's something else I found that's rather interesting. It was only a coincidence since I noticed a spike of divine energy before it disappeared or rather, was camouflaged."
Bringing his hands together, a tier 6 magic circle appeared in front of them as he raised it above Misu's head.
Snapping her finger, the magic circle became a lens of sorts as Misu glanced up. Seeing the weapon that was in construction, she widened her eyes as her breathing halted for a moment. Seeing the amount of energy being gathered towards the chambers, she felt cold sweat fill her back as she couldn't even begin to imagine the destruction this weapon could cause.
"Is she crazy? That'll destroy the continent!" Misu shouted out in surprise but the man shook his head.
"Nope. I'm afraid she needs a bit more power if her goal is to destroy the relic. You have to remember, a rainbow relic is something that is equal to the domain of gods. If she wants to destroy this relic, she has to essentially kill a god." The man narrowed his eyes. Noticing a few flickers of light, he paused in surprise before smiling.
"Though it seems like she has quite a bit of help."
"Anyways, this little expedition has me feeling quite exhausted. Unless the situation is dire, 'I' won't be appearing for a while."
"I see… Don't worry, I'll try to keep out of danger." Misu nodded.
Closing his eyes, the mans' aura seemed to weaken for a moment before opening his eyes again.
"Eh? Wasn't I dealing with a task that your highness had given me? Why am I here?" He furrowed his brows but Misu shook her head.
"I have summoned you since I was attacked by the Lightning Queen but the danger's over now. Let's evacuate a bit further from here, it's going to get dangerous." Misu said as he nodded.
"Understood."
Leaving the area, Misu couldn't help but glance towards the sky once more and marvel at how much power Shiro was about to control at this moment of time. To make matters more surprising, it hasn't even been long since the start of the new age and she was already capable of creating a weapon that can potentially 'kill a god'.
Of course, using the weapon in combat was a whole another question in itself since no god will allow this but the fact that she could have this kind of power now was the surprising part.
'She's just tier 6 right now. I wonder how much power she'll have if she reaches the demi god tier. Though she'll need to discover her own divinity first.' Misu thought to herself, unaware of the fact that Shiro had already reached Demi God Status.
