Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 358: Defiling, Disrespecting, & Humiliating Empress Maria!?

With Elaine having defeated Mother's projection, she was promptly healed, and her Qi reserves were quickly refilled, only for a young woman's projection to suddenly manifest opposite of where Elaine was standing; however, the surprise of many, the young woman, she was an Angel, just like Lucifer.

'Hmm, that's unexpected.' Mused Elif lightly with a raised eyebrow as he gazed at the beautiful angel standing opposite of Elaine.

While surprising, Elaine didn't seem to care and attacked how she's always done, though her opponent managed to just narrowly evade her first attack, which makes her the only opponent up until now to do so, excluding Mother since she didn't immediately attack her. From the first few clashes, the opponent was stronger than Mother, but not by much, not enough to the point where I would consider her a challenge to Elaine, but it was evident she would take a little bit of time to defeat, which was fine by me; I quiet enjoyed watching Elaine fight.

"Mhm... Delicious." Muttered Elif softly as he licked his lips while staring at Elaine, her serious expression stirring waves within his heart.

Elaine truly was a one-of-a-kind woman; she was practically flawless, though she was my sister, so it was only expected. However, while I was imagining all the things she and I would do once we returned home after this, I noticed someone else had reached Mother's projection just shortly after she tasted her first defeat, though when I realized who it was, I couldn't help but click my tongue in annoyance.

"Tsk, it's that fool; Spica and Hayat have already been defeated by Mother; what makes him think he can defeat her?" Remarked Alexander lightly in slight annoyance as he rested his cheek on his fist while watching Comet fight Maria.

The bastard had gotten decently stronger since I lost fought him as he was actually able to give Mother a challenging fight, causing me to roll my eyes since even I couldn't tell who'd win this fight; however, while watching him, I furrowed my brows, finding something off about him.

"Idonea, look at Comet, and tell me what you see." Ordered Elif lightly with a slight frown as he narrowed his eyes at the spire, his words causing Idonea to raise an eyebrow before nodding.

"Hmm, his aura, your Highness... His aura it's different, though I can't exactly figure out why." Stated Idonea with a slight frown as she furrowed her brows in confusion, causing Elif to nod faintly.

"I thought so, though if even you can't figure it out..." Remarked Elif lightly as he rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression while gazing at Comet, who struggled against Maria, though she was the same.

Someone's aura represents many things, such as your personality, dao heart, cultivation technique, understanding of the dao, etc. There are many things, and a slight change in any one of those will cause someone's aura to faintly change, so it's not surprising for me to exit my room and notice Marley, Idonea, or Ember's aura has slightly changed. However, if it were just a slight change, I wouldn't have felt anything was off, nor would Idonea have said anything.

'Hmm, we'll have to wait until he exits the spire; I'll have Idonea approach him; hopefully, when up close, she'll be able to figure it out.' Mused Elif lightly as he tapped his chin before shaking his head, leaving that matter for another time.

Since Elaine was having an easier time against her opponent, she ended up defeating the angel first, causing me to smile as I momentarily forgot about Comet; with her victory, she would now be going to the seventeenth floor. With her injuries healed and Qi reserves refilled, Elaine promptly vanished from the room, confusing everyone watching since her opponent still appeared, and it just so happened to be a dragon, of course, in a more humanoid form.

However, Elaine didn't vanish from the room; she simply vanished from my divine sense as she entered deep within the void, concealing herself from everyone; not even I could pin-point her location, though if I focused hard enough, I would be able to sense her general location, and that's what her opponent seemed to be doing.
