Fourth Prince's Debauchery

Chapter 699 - Intense Battle

Chapter 699 - Intense Battle

Among my women, Saintess Safelia was a slightly special case.

We were enemies at the start. She was a loyal servant of the Goddess of Order and Lightning. A follower of her will.

Back then, I relied on my charm (?) and some tricks to pull her to my side and make her betray the goddess. And after that, I turned her into one of my dependents.

But to my surprise, I discovered that the way Safelia looked at me was different than the way I looked at her.

When she decided to betray the goddess completely, it was not because she looked at me as her lover.

No, she looked at me as her new lord. Her new god.

Normally, such a mindset would have made it impossible for her to become an Irregular. But Safelia's circumstances were very special.

Due to the link between our souls, she could feel my thoughts and abilities freely. This kind of link was many times stronger than the link between a god and a saintess.

And when I started to train her, she brought this link to a whole new level.

She strengthened this link time and time again, allowing her to use her strong belief to borrow a portion of my powers.

She used it to forge her path to become an Irregular.

As long as she believed in me firmly, she could theoretically use any of my abilities.

This path was called [The Will of God].

Of course, this ability had a lot of restrictions. Even if in theory, she could use any of my abilities, the truth was that there was a limit to the [Faith] that her soul could hold. Due to it, the powers that she could borrow from me were limited.

But even so, the fact that she could use the abilities of a powerful Immortal such as me was amazing.

Just like right now.

No matter how the beastmen Irregulars tried to advance, they could not move forward. In front of the ability to manipulate the space of an Immortal, they were helpless.

"Dammit!" One of the Immortals shouted in rage and tried to attack Safelia, but the attack never reached. Safelia had manipulated space in such a way that the beastmen Irregulars were millions of kilometers away despite it looking as though they were just a few meters away.

But–

"Hurry up and help Rose! I can't keep it for long!" Safelia shouted with a pale face.

The other girls nodded. They immediately directed their attention to Rose and Selena's battlefield.

"Hah!" Wielding her fire sword, Rose cut Selena's body, but the attack did not injure her.

Selena did not even bother to defend against the attack. Just the energy around her body was so powerful that Rose's normal attacks could not pierce it.

Instead, she focused only on attacking Rose.

"Die!" With a movement so fast that it seemed instantaneous, she tried to pierce Rose's heart with her right hand.

Rose did not bother to defend, though. Instead, she filled her fire sword with mana and slashed towards Selena's neck.

At the same time, a barrier of multicolored wind appeared around her, blocking Selena's attack before shattering.

It was Katherine!

She was aware that her attacks were not strong enough to injure Selena, so her sole focus was on defending Rose. As long as she was here, she would not allow any of Selena's attacks to injure Rose!

"Tsk!" Selena clicked her tongue and twisted her body to avoid Rose's slash, but suddenly, darkness surrounded her, and her movements were impeded, allowing Rose's attack to land.

"Argh! You again!" She glared at Doctor Elene in rage. Due to Elene's interference, Rose's sword had managed to injure her.

Even if the injury healed immediately, it made Selena angry.

It was the fourth time Doctor Elene interfered with her movements.

Doctor Elene's path was called [Lights Out]. This path allowed her to absorb light and wield it. She could use light as a source of energy and as long as there was light, her mana was inexhaustible.

It seemed like an overpowered ability, but there was a small problem.

Light in itself was not that lethal. I tried to teach Elene ways to use light in an offensive way, but the only offensive move she learned that could be useful against other Irregulars needed a lot of time and preparation.

However, she managed to learn a very useful ability.

[Lonely Night].

Through her control over light, Elene interfered with the particles in a designated place, extracting them instantly.

This action created a place without light, without heat, and almost devoid of energy. Due to it, that place fell to a temperature close to absolute zero in an instant!

Unfortunately, this was not harmful to an Irregular. The sheer amount of energy in their bodies could make them resist the extreme temperature easily for a brief time.

But it could freeze their movements briefly.

Moreover, because this ability affected the environment instead of an individual, it was very hard to guard against it.

During a battle, freezing the movements of an enemy could be the difference between life and death!

Unfortunately for the girls, Selena was very strong.

The energy of over one hundred irregulars was gathered in her body. It allowed her to escape the effects of [Lonely Night] easily.

Moreover, her dense energy granted her a very powerful defensive capacity. Even if the girls managed to land a blow on her, it was very hard to break through their defenses.

Due to it, even with Rose, Katherine, and Elene joining hands, Selena still held the upper hand.

But just then, another person entered the battlefield.

"Take this!"

With a shout, little Lina swung a burning sword towards Selena's head.

The wolfkin girl used her arm to receive the attack, but suddenly, she felt her mana being burned crazily.

In an instant, one-hundredth of her mana was burned by the flames.

"What is it!?" She shouted in panic and tried to retreat, but then, Rose attacked from the other side and Elene used [Lonely Night] again.

Selena tried to retaliate, but Katherine's cosmic winds stopped every one of her attacks accurately. It was as though Katherine knew her actions beforehand.

And actually, she knew them.

Because inside the command center, someone was instructing her about every one of Selena's attacks.

Alice!

Seeing that the battle against Selena was very difficult, she used a portion of her powers over fate to read Selena's movements and tell the girls about them.

With the teamwork of the girls, they were defeating an Irregular several times stronger than them. Little by little, Selena was being cornered.

"It's the end!" Rose stated coldly. Her flame sword burned more intensely as Dina poured her entire mana into it, and the mana of the entire world gathered around Rose to strengthen her next attack.

Then, Rose's raised her sword.

Elene froze Selena's movements and Lina used her laws of combustion to burn her mana. Due to it, Selena could only watch as Rose's sword was swung down.

"[Absolute Sword]!"

With a swing of Rose's sword, the entire world seemed to be cut into two.

But just then, Selena smiled.

"Na?ve."

All of sudden, her mana became several times stronger. It immediately broke Elene's restraint and blew Lina away.

Every drop of mana of over one hundred irregulars flowed to Selena's body. She had forced the formation to the limit, making the other beastmen Irregulars powerless.

But in exchange, her power increased crazily.

"You can't defeat me!"

Selena shouted and struck Rose's sword with her fist. Two powerful attacks collided, destroying everything in thousands of kilometers around them.

However, even the power of a world could not be compared to the power of one hundred irregulars.

In less than one second, Selena's fist started to gain the advantage.

"Ugh..."

"It's your loss," Selena stated confidently.

But–

"You are mistaken. I told you, it's the end." Rose smiled calmly.

At the same time, something appeared in the sky.

A huge tree made of lightning.

On it, a beautiful brown-haired girl looked towards the ground coldly.

"Burn everything to ashes, [Gungnir]."

Her voice reached to each corner of the battlefield.

And lightning rained down on the world.
