Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation(Vol 5)

Vol 5/ Chapter 74: Strengthened Camille

"It's you! So you came to Earth too!"

When I heard that, my face turned dark. Talk about bad luck! I've dealt with her many times before, so I couldn't forget her easily!

This succubus was Camille, the one I met in the Dark Continent! Even though it was too dark to see her face clearly, and her dark element energy was much weaker than before for some reason, I could still recognize her voice right away.

They say Camille was always very "trusted" by Michelle, so it's possible she brought her along in the last fight for the Cycle of Rebirth.

When the portal connecting the two worlds opened, Sheryl did mention that a few monsters got sucked into it too. Looks like Camille got lucky - not only did she dodge Reed's forbidden spell, she also snuck into Earth.

Nobody on Earth can sense dark element energy. If she just hid quietly, no one would've found her. But for some reason, she decided to come make trouble for me instead.

"What happened? Was there a gas explosion?"
"Look, that woman has wings on her back!"
"What's that weird thing standing on the wall?"
"Is someone going through a heavenly tribulation?"
"Looks like they can't hide what happened in 1999 anymore..."

...

The thing I didn't want to happen most still happened. The big commotion here quickly caught the attention of the neighborhood. Lots of residents came out of the buildings nearby. When they saw me and Camille, everyone started gathering around to watch. My parents, who just escaped from the stairway, were among them too.

Since Camille destroyed the floors where they lived, the people in that building felt something was wrong right away and all ran out.

"What do you want?"

This situation was giving me a headache. My power has grown a lot, so I'm not afraid of Camille anymore. But this area has lots of people, and there are many civilians in the buildings. Plus, I don't have much outside element energy to use. If she causes too much trouble, it'll be hard to clean up.

"Of course I want to fight you!"

To my surprise, she boldly challenged me, looking weirdly excited. "Bet you didn't expect this, huh? At first, even I couldn't believe it. After landing in this strange place, my power got way stronger! And then you, the one I can't stand, showed up. Perfect timing for me to test my new powers!"

"Her power got stronger?"

I looked at Adrian, confused. Judging by her current energy, Camille's power should have gotten weaker, right? She seems to be barely at level 4 now. But why does she look more confident?

But just one second later, I got slapped in the face...

The dark element energy coming from Camille suddenly jumped up at least 4 or 5 times! Her power seemed to be cheating, quickly passing the level 5 I saw before, and rushing towards even higher levels!

"Can monsters hide their power?"

I've never heard of such a thing! Or is it really like she said, that she got new abilities on Earth? Adrian and I watched in surprise. Then we were shocked to see Camille surrounded by black smoke, charging at me!

"Alright then..."

At this point, I couldn't care about being low-key anymore. I snapped my fingers right away.

To be safe, I started with my strongest move! A huge, blinding pillar of light came down from the sky, swallowing Camille's whole body in an instant.

The most effective way to deal with monsters is to use light magic. Plus, after I upgraded to eight wings, the power of my "Paradise Lost Shockwave" is even stronger!
