1101 When did you become our Leader?
"This place is definitely different from the previous dimension we were in," Allura commented as she looked around with a curious look on her face.
"Mhm, the air here feels more...
suffocating?" Evane muttered.
"This Dimension feels like a Dead one compared to Veiled Eden." Ember nodded as well.
The rest of the women all had the same opinion, this wasn't their first time in the Waranal Dimension, however, they landed on this land where Nux had fought, the entire land was already turned into a wasteland because of the Devouring Mist Nux used, the women thought that the gloominess they felt was because of the Devouring Mist.
Now however, when they arrived in another side of the dimension far away from the place Nux had fought in, they finally realized it was not solely the Devouring Mist's fault, this entire dimension had a gloomy air around it.
This was especially true when they compared it to the Veiled Eden.
"It doesn't matter."
Suddenly, Astaria spoke up.
Then, she glanced at her sisters and took out her sword.
"We are not here for sightseeing.
We are here to battle beasts and get used to being Complete Cultivators.
So take out your weapons and get ready for the battle.
Also, as Master said, this place is dangerous, although Nux and Master would be here the moment we get into trouble, I would if that does not happen. There are little to no 11 Star Beasts here so we won't be running into them.
There are chances that we might run into 10 Star Beasts, since they are Phase 3 Beasts, even with our Complete
Foundation, we are still not their match, especially considering that we are not used to our new strength yet.
So at first, we will only be targeting 9 Star Beasts on lower, fight as many beasts as you want, tiring yourself out isn't an issue, however, make sure you have enough Mana left to use [Husband's Beacon] and teleport to Nux the moment you feel that you are in a sticky situation.
Another thing, try not to fight like you used to, all of us have been Mana Cultivators from the start and now that we have become Complete Cultivators, fighting like Mana Cultivators is still an option and won't feel uncomfortable. However,although comfortable, this method would waste a major chunk of our potential and will hold us back in the future.
The best way for us to continue from here is to approach the Beasts like Body Cultivator, fight closed-distance battles, create a new battle style, then include our spells into that battle style and continue to upgrade our battle style to make it more and more efficient.
Remember, we need to mix up our raw strength and Mana together in order to fight like actual Complete Cultivators, don't focus more on one and ignore the other. I have also made a clear plan for the next 50 years we are going to spend here, so I hope you all follow my arrangements."
Astaria spoke as she glanced at her sisters.
"I get everything you are saying... but..."
Suddenly, Melia stepped out. Then, with her usual expressionless face, she looked into Astaria's eyes and,
"Why do I get the feeling that you are trying to lead us?
Who made you the leader?"
Melia questioned.
She was the Princess of the Bloodheart House, against Nux, she understood, that man was stronger than her, as for being the Vice Leader of the Clan, that too, she realized that Amaya was much more suited for the job than her, however, right now, Astaria taking lead didn't sit well with her.
When she joined the clan, she joined as the strongest woman since she was the only Great Sage in the Clan, now, however, things have changed.
She wasn't the only Great Sage anymore, however, this didn't mean she was willing to give away her spot as the strongest woman. Just like Astaria, Melia was a woman with strong aspirations as well.
Astaria glanced at her Vampire sister, and without trying to hide anything, she replied, "Isn't it obvious that the strongest takes the lead in these situations? Why do you seem so surprised?"
"And since when was it decided that you were the strongest out of us all?" Melia questioned back as she narrowed her eyes.
"I agree with Melia." Suddenly, another woman spoke and stepped forward.
It was Thyra.
"I can't say anything about earlier, but I highly doubt anyone of you can defeat me right now."
Thyra declared with a confident look on her face.
"Hey? Have you all forgotten me? I don't remember anyone of you defeating me in a duel ever since I returned." Allura stepped forward with her usual playful smile on her face as well.
She didn't really care about who gets to be the leader, however, if it was about the competition about being the strongest, she believed that she had a big chance.
Other women all narrowed their eyes as well, honestly, most of them knew, after changing their Bloodlines, Allura and Thyra had become absurdly strong, Melia was quite strong to begin with, and Astaria... She was a woman crazy for strength.
Even the women didn't like to admit it, they knew that these 4 women were far stronger than them.
Well, not all of them, Lane, for example, had the ability to go against them, however, Lane was already satisfied with her role as Nux's shadow.
Honestly, the only reason she was here was because she wanted to get stronger for Nux and explore her abilities as the Shadow Demon, who knows? Maybe she could find something that could get her even closer to Nux.
Astaria raised her eyebrows as she glanced at three women challenging her, narrowing her eyes, she pointed her sword at her sisters,
"I guess there is only one way to figure th-"
Stab
Before Astaria could complete her
sentence, a sword pierced through her heart, her entire body froze from the sheer shock, and soon,
"Khawwkk!"
She coughed out blood.
