1111 You all look somewhat useful now.
'Get away!'
Melia shouted, then, a 100-meter-long giant Blood Spear that was hovering over her head shot forward.
Evane, Thyra, and Ember jumped back, and as if their minds were connected, Felberta, Edda, and Lane created Earth Walls in front of them, protecting them from any impact.
"RROOAAAAARRR!!"
The 5-meter-tall, rhino-like beast they were fighting roared in anger, however, before it could chase the three women, the giant Blood spear appeared in front of his eyes, a shield automatically appeared in front of the Beast, however, as if that shield was no different than paper, the Spear broke through the Mana Shield and pierced through the Beast's Skull.
"RRRROOOOOAAAARRRRRRR!!!!"
The beast screeched in agony. However, even after such a giant spear had passed through its skull, it still hadn't died.
'Now!'
Amaya shouted.
Skyla and Astaria moved, using the moment when the beast's automatic shield was down, both severed two of the beast's 4 limbs.
Thud
The beast fell on the ground, still screeching in endless pain, and with its limb severed, it couldn't even run away anymore.
The battle ahead was simple, the beast was strong, its skin was much stronger than any other normal beast, however, with 2 of its limbs down, the number of things the beast could do was limited.
Especially considering how the group of hateful women it was facing cooperated with each other, leaving no openings it could take advantage of.
Suddenly, the beast that hadn't even gotten used to the extreme pain it was feeling, dark mist covered its eyes, taking away its vision.
The Beast was confused, soon, however, it realized that the Mist was much scarier than it had originally thought.
It was Devouring its Life Force!
"RROOAAARRRR!" It roared in anger,
suppressing all the pain it felt, it quickly sensed the source of this Mist and locked that hateful woman.
Yes, at its level, covering its eyes was useless, it could easily sense its opponent's location without needing its eyes.
However, the Beast had underestimated the women it was facing.
While all its focus was on Amaya, Thyra, who had suddenly disappeared in the middle of the battle appeared right on top of its head, and gathering all her strength, she stabbed her two daggers into the Beast's eyes.
"RRROOAAAARRRR!!!"
The beast screeched in pain again, however, it wasn't yet over.
Two Huge Circles formed under its other two limbs and then,
BOOOOM
A huge explosion was heard, successfully destroying the remaining limbs as well.
Now, the Beast was no different than an open target who could do nothing but roar in pain. The women continued their assault, still not showing any openings.
5 minutes later, the beast took his last breath, the relentless moving finally ended as the beast rested in its place.
Amaya devoured the last of its Life Force left using her Devouring Mist and the beast died.
"Heeeh, this was the strongest 10-Star Beast of this region? It was quite weak considering it reigned over even the other 10 Star Beasts."
Aisha commented as she shook her head.
"It was quite disappointing." Thyra nodded as well.
"Should we... aim for an 11-Star Beast?"
suddenly, Astaria spoke up.
"I don't thin-" Before Amaya could say anything.
"Heh, look at you getting all arrogant just because you defeated some mindless beast."
A voice was heard, the women all turned around and their eyes fell on the Dragon Woman who walked towards them with a condescending smile on her face.
"Stop biting more than you can chew. You all are only Great Sages, don't aim for Beasts with similar power levels as Saint Stage Cultivators, even if they are mindless, their battle instincts aren't something to scoff at.
Someone as weak as you would be destroyed before you can even use most of your strength."
Vyriana spoke.
"Teacher, you are here." Astaria greeted as she bowed her head.
Vyriana nodded, then, she glanced at the 12 women standing in front of her and, "You all look somewhat useful now."
She commented.
"You are finally at the level where you can undergo my training. You all did well these past in these past 50 years, it is now time to Veiled Eden," Vyriana spoke.
Yes, 50 years had passed.
The women had now completely adapted to their new strength. Vyriana, who could sense that didn't wish to waste any time and continue with their training, however, "Where is Nux?" Amaya questioned.
"He is still training," Vyriana replied.
"Wasn't Master the one training him?"
Astaria asked.
"That doesn't mean that I am supposed to raise him, does it? I asked him to train alone for the time being."
"I thought he was coming with us..." Lane muttered.
"Well, the Veiled Eden isn't exactly a meaningful place for him. If anything, staying there is rather disadvantageous for him." Vyriana replied.
"Does that mean he would be staying here alone...?" Amaya questioned with a frown on her face. From her expression, it was clear that she didn't want this to happen.
And fortunately, Vyriana had the same thoughts as her,
"Of course not. He won't be spending the next 2,500 years in this place. I don't want him to lose his sanity by hunting beasts for so many years, especially after I have spent so much time and effort into making him a somewhat decent cultivator.
There are still a few more things he needs to do, once he is done, he will come to Veiled Eden to spend time with us."
Vyriana replied and hearing his words, Amaya and Astaria narrowed their eyes.
'Is it just me or does Master seem... different?'
Unable to contain herself, Astaria questioned. She couldn't put her finger on it, however, the way Vyriana was talking about Nux... Astaria could tell that it was different than before.
'Why are acting so shocked? She has spent more than 20 years together with Nux, of course, she would be different. I am rather shocked that she still hasn't become one of our sisters yet.' Felberta replied.
'Not like Nux had any time to make any moves. Has he not told you the hell he has been through? This woman is a heartless monster.' Thyra spoke as she glanced at the woman in front of her.
