Pillar of Yita

However, it obviously forgot there was someone else nearby.

Fang Hong pressed his hand against the crystal on his chest, and a glowing array unfolded above Princess Rupert and the bird siren. The Energy Angel descended vertically from mid-air, slicing off one of the bird siren’s wings with a sword, then turned and pierced it through with a sword in its left arm.

Fang Hong waved his hand, and the Energy Angel swung its blade to fling the bird siren’s corpse away, with a ’smack,’ it landed on the steps, rolling several times.

Princess Rupert took a step back to steady herself, and quietly thanked him.

But Fang Hong seemed not to hear the thanks, looking a bit surprised at his own hand. The bird siren was merely a level twenty-two monster, something he could handle, but it shouldn’t have been this easy—

The Energy Angel’s movements seemed significantly faster in this world than outside, about thirty percent faster. Otherwise, his previous swing should have parried the enemy’s attack, and there wouldn’t have been a second stab to finish it.

He simultaneously had a faint feeling—his ability to observe, analyze, and judge the battlefield through the Energy Angel’s video crystal had also improved significantly.

The agility of an Alchemist was generally quite low, but when sensing the battlefield through a Flexible Construct’s main crystal, they gained reflex abilities identical to the Flexible Construct’s. This capability wouldn’t manifest in themselves but would be effective when controlling the Flexible Construct to face the enemy.

The reflex abilities he gained while controlling the Energy Angel had evidently far surpassed his usual perception. In short, the Energy Angel’s abilities seemed greatly enhanced in this world.

But what is going on?

In the moment he was distracted, a bird siren screeched and flew down towards them. Rupert saw this, ready to face it with a longsword, but before the bird siren reached them, it seemed to pass through an invisible barrier.

The instant it passed through the barrier, the air seemed to ripple, and within the distorted ripples, the bird siren’s body fell apart as if disintegrating; claws, wings, and feathers scattered, yet before the falling feathers touched the ground, the next moment they disappeared like sand blown away by the wind.

She was a bit stunned as she turned her head, just in time to see Ye Hua walking forward with a longbow on his back, holding a black crystal.

The Ranger King raised his head to the sky, the crystal in his hand radiating a circle of dark light, forming a light shadow behind him.

The silhouette had graceful curves, like an elegant woman, who also lifted her head. At that moment, Fang Hong snapped back to see eyes like glittering sapphires.

Under that gaze, the bird siren in mid-air melted like mud, falling from the sky, turning into rustling sand, scattering on the ground.

Instantly, the wings that had blotted out the sky vanished, as if they never existed in this world.

Fang Hong watched this scene, dumbfounded.

What kind of ability is this?

Seniman observed the scene, finally speaking with a cold face: ”Your Dragon Soul is much stronger than an average person’s, but still that’s about it; challenging my deity here is truly overestimating oneself—”

Fang Hong was slightly taken aback and couldn’t help but look at the shadow behind Ye Hua, realizing it was a Dragon Soul.

The external form of a Dragon Soul is often closely related to its strength attribute. Among Artificial Dragon Souls, beast forms are common, while humanoid forms are relatively rare. And Miss Tata is a very special category of humanoid Dragon Soul, Fairy form; Fang Hong knew this was likely linked to the Fairy Dragon Soul’s own attributes.

This Ranger King’s Dragon Soul appears humanoid, also a special category among humanoid forms, outwardly resembling an elf. Such Dragon Souls typically relate to agility-related abilities and often carry archery lineage, which aligns well with this Ranger King.

There’s rarely mention of the lineage of this Ranger King’s Dragon Soul externally, usually, well-known Dragon Soul inheritances are common knowledge. For instance, Odin’s Dragon Soul came from the previous warrior chairman before Ragnarok. Hence, Ye Hua’s Dragon Soul might have been acquired by chance.

Such luck is truly one in a million; to become one of the Ten Kings, one indeed must be both fortunate and powerful. It’s known that Miss Tata, he actually obtained from Miya, which comparatively, is much easier than finding an unclaimed Dragon Soul.

Ye Hua listened to Seniman’s words but did not argue.

He raised the crystal high in his hand, softly addressing Fang Hong beside him: ”Ade, remember what I’m about to say.”

Fang Hong was momentarily stunned.

Regardless of whether Fang Hong understood, Ye Hua continued: ”Remember clearly, this concerns whether you can prevent the rebirth of Dika... Do you remember what I previously mentioned about the information in this world?... This world lies between the main world and the Ether Realm, it’s a projection of the main world, possessing different, unique laws compared to the main world—”

”Here, the spirit triumphs over matter, the soul replaces substance. In the main world, one’s strength and power quantity are determined by ether, by elements, but here, it’s by mind and thought.”
