Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 96

Angel prepared her shield and used [Prismatic coat], putting some [Glass Nodes] around. However, this cultivator was fast! Before she could complete a single formation, He was already in front of her.

Yellow electric arcs covered his spear as he thrust forward. Angel hardened her [Emerald Mirror Shield] and blocked, *Bang!* The impact moved Angel back some steps. ‘Whoa, he is much stronger than me!’

The male cultivator didn’t let her recover as he began attacking her continuously. Sounds of the spear and shield clashing resounded in the arena as they moved around. The man was surprised, ‘What a tight defense! Even if I’m dragging her around, I haven’t injured her yet.’

Meanwhile, Angel was biting her lips and trying to control where they moved so that she could continue placing her [Glass Nodes]. *BANG!* A big hit to the shield made Angel grunt and slide back. She took advantage of the created distance and charged light energy in her shield, “[Focus Light-Beam].”

The cultivator was about to close the distance when the green mirror shield shone brightly and fired a thick beam toward him. It was so fast that he couldn’t move out of the way.

*Bang!*

After regaining this slight advantage, she continued shooting light beams from her shield, moving around and keeping the cultivator away from her. ‘Come on, a little more, and I will create the first formation!’

The lightning cultivator regained momentum and pierced through the next light beam, “[Lightning Unicorn Charge].”

Angel smirked and said, “Too late! [Golem Formation]!” Her body shot myriads of Prismatic lights toward the different nodes, activating the formation. The level six cultivator saw something appearing in his path toward Angel.

*CRACK!*

A three-meter tall glass golem that appeared in his way was what stopped him. He sped up his mind and looked around, spotting three more golems running toward him. ‘Four golems, and the one that blocked me had its chest cracked by my charge. I can best them easily.’

With heavy steps, the four golems ran toward him and started fighting bare-handed against the lighting cultivator. However, they weren’t strong or fast enough to damage him.

The cultivator dodged a punch and thrust with his spear, hitting its chest and making it retreat a single step. Then, he jumped and kicked another in the chest, forcing it back. He used the strength of the kick to approach another one and his spear struck the head, cracking it.

He continued fighting with high mobility maneuvers and destroyed two of them; nonetheless, they managed to stall him enough time for Angel to chain into the next formation, “[Glass Prison Formation]!”

A dome covered the two golems and the cultivator, reducing the cultivator’s maneuvering space. He ran toward the dome and attacked once, “[Lightning Unicorn thrust].”

*Clang!*

His spear rebounded powerlessly, doing nothing more than a scratch to the dome. He opened his eyes, surprised, ‘Solid defense! Impressive.’

Angel, however, wasn’t done yet! “[Light prison formation]!”

A prismatic light covered the glass dome and fused with it, creating the [Laser prison formation].

He frowned, feeling danger from the new dome. This fear came into being fast when countless lasers shot from the wall!

Now, the cultivator had to evade the last two glass golems and be careful of the lasers. The worst part was that the golems could channel the lasers that hit them and redirect them toward him.

The battle continued, and he managed to destroy the two golems while receiving burns from the lasers. He was about to get to work with the formation when he heard a silvery voice chanting gleefully from the side, “[Golem Formation].”

When he looked at the side and saw another six golems coming his way, he chuckled, ‘Little girl, Could you not be so gleeful about this?’

He then said, “I surrender!”

Angel instantly stopped her skills, detonating the [Glass Nodes] supporting them. Angel smiled and jumped happily, “I won! I won!”

The cultivator approached and said, “Nicely fought, little girl! To be able to create formations mid-battle, you are going to become someone powerful in the future!”

Angel bowed and said, “Thank you for the praise, senior brother! It was a good fight, and I learned a lot.” He smiled and nodded. Then, both returned to the stands.

Yasenia welcomed Angel with a hug and showered her with kisses, “My baby is so strong! I’m so proud of you~.”

Angel laughed and hugged Yasenia while receiving her kisses. Tatyana said at the side, “Angel, we will work with instant-activation formations. You only have big formations, which is a big weakness if you don’t have teammates that give you time to set them up.”

Angel, who was still being showered with love by the dragoness, nodded with a smile. Yasenia stopped kissing her and sat. Then, she buried her little head between her breasts, making Angel straddle her. Angel rubbed her head on the softness and relaxed in her embrace, surrounded by her scent. ‘So comfortable~.’

Shortly after, Evelyn, Yasenia, and Andrea were called. Yasenia and Andrea entered different arenas and fought against a level seven cultivator. The level sevens didn’t even stand a chance before Andrea’s scorching attacks, and Yasenia’s overwhelming strength destroyed them completely.

Evelyn was lucky in her first battle and got paired against another level two cultivator. The senior gave the start sign.

Evelyn used [Thunder Light coat] and charged forward. She put the spear aiming at the sword cultivator, and blue electric currents surrounded her body, activating [Thunder charge]. Her speed soared.

The other cultivator only saw Evelyn become a blur, so he raised his sword defensively. *BANG!* he felt like he was run over and shot backward. Evelyn didn’t lose the chance and used [Light passing strike]. Her movements became erratic and passed the cultivator. Then, five continuous hits landed on him. He shot back like a ragdoll, and the senior spoke, “Evelyn wins!”

Evelyn was surprised, ‘I’m this strong? Cultivating with Yasenia is making us monsters… To think that before, I couldn’t fight comfortably against someone two levels above me… Sigh, I’m blessed.’

Evelyn returned to the stands and looked at Yasenia, who had just arrived. She walked toward her and jumped into Yasenia’s embrace. Yasenia, of course, caught her mischievous spark. “What’s wrong, dear?”

Evelyn sighed and said, breathing her scent. “Nothing, I just wanted to let you know that I love you.”

Yasenia smiled happily and hugged her tighter, kissing her forehead softly. Then she whispered lovingly, “I love you too, dear.”

The matches continued. Angel got bad luck on her fourth match and faced a half-step cultivator of the Heavenly Sect. Angel saw that the woman had a righteous character. She was curious about comforting a half-step, so instead of surrendering, she chose spar.

When the “battle” started, for Angel, the half-step practically teleported before her, and *BANG!* she was sent flying by a punch to her chest, protected by the arena’s formation. After smashing on the arena’s invisible border almost a whole kilometer away, Angel began to sweat cold, ‘Andrea managed to beat one of these!? How!?’

When she reached the stands, still stunned, a distressed Yasenia greeted her, “What were you thinking, baby? Are you okay? Are you hurt? Any after effects?”

Angel looked at Yasenia, then Andrea, and frowned, “I wanted to know what you fought against… I couldn’t even see what he did… I’m weak.”

Yasenia picked her up and gave her a peck, “Baby, if you are weak, then the rest of the cultivators will have to cry to sleep! You won against a level six, being only at the second level! That is very, very impressive.”

Then Yasenia said with a completely straight face, “You had to listen to the audience saying things like, ‘That ultra adorable cute and endearing girl has a great future!’ or ‘The super mega beautiful and cuddly little girl is very talented!'”

Angel looked at her and burst into laughter. Then she thought with fluffy feelings in her stomach. ‘Do you want to make it impossible to be depressed when we are at your side?’ Angel just hugged Yasenia with a sweet smile on her face and relaxed.

The rest looked on with smiles, thinking, ‘Does Yasenia have a filter in the world? Only half of those sentences were true.’

Meanwhile, Evelyn had it worse than Angel. She got a level nine on her second match, another level nine on her third match, and a half-step on her fifth. She could only surrender and lose those battles.

The five battles finally ended. After today’s five battles, their points were like this. Evelyn had 6 points, Angel 9, Cecile 12, Andrea 12, and Yasenia 15. Cecile wasn’t strong enough to fight a half-step cultivator yet because she didn’t even have time to assimilate her changes completely.

She tried to fight back when she faced one, but the spiritual sense was a big advantage against her arrows, making her have no choice but to surrender almost ten seconds into the battle.

Andrea lost, surprisingly, against a level five cultivator. That woman used a combination of Earth, Nature and Wood attributes, overwhelming Andrea with countless plants and interrupting her steps with roots and the like. A very similar fighting style compared to Kali.

The difference was that this person was also an archer and used non-sentient plants. The ranged attacks ended up wearing her down and making her lose.

However, Yasenia wasn’t convinced because she saw that girl say something to Andrea before the duel. Sadly, she wasn’t able to hear what she said.

When the battle ended, Yasenia locked her gaze on that girl. Then she imprinted her in her memory, memorizing every single detail about her, from her face to her aura and scent. She will ask Andrea later, but if she is blackmailing her darling… Just thinking about it made the red inside her irises start growing.

That girl felt a chill run up her spine and turned. ‘Andrea’s current girlfriend? W-Why is s-she looking at me like that!?’

Even with all the people between them, she could spot her pair of golden-red slit eyes locking on her and the hostility in them. The feeling was like an ancient beast locked onto her as prey, unsettling her greatly.

Yasenia adverted her gaze, and her eyes returned to normal. Cecile felt Yasenia’s hostility and approached, whispering while looking at that girl, “What is wrong, Love? Why are you angry at that woman?”

Yasenia explained what she saw. Cecile smiled and tiptoed, making Yasenia lower her head a little to kiss her cheek, “Don’t worry, Love. We will also protect each other. If someone tries something funny with one of us, we won’t let it slide. Let’s ask Andrea later, okay?”

Yasenia nodded with a smile caressing her cheek. Feeling that Yasenia was happy again, Cecile was satisfied. ‘I will also have to remember that woman… Making my dragoness upset is not something I appreciate.’

It was already deep into the afternoon when today’s battles ended. They decided to go home, resting and not doing anything until tomorrow. On the way back, Cecile spoke, “Yasenia, do you remember what I told you before?”

Yasenia looked at Cecile while hugging a depressed Evelyn, “The thing you are keeping from me? Shoot, what is wrong?”

Cecile said, “I was thinking of speaking to you about Kali. I am sure that she is in love with you, and I wanted to know what you think about her.”
