Getting spoiled in a woman dominating world
Chapter 210: The Empyrean [4]

Chapter 210: The Empyrean [4]

A spatial fissure formed, ripping left to right... like the dungeon itself had been sliced open.

From the spatial fissure, a foot stepped out and Brandon blinked his eyes in surprise.

His mind struggled to process it until the rest of the figure followed through the breach.

"Aunt... Elize?"

Elize looked at Brandon and her eyes shrunk in horror, seeing the bruises and the arm he is missing.

"...Kael."

She hurriedly rushed to him and dropped to her knees beside him "Darling..."

Her soft hands, trembling faintly, hovered near his face, afraid to touch the bruises and burns.

However, Brandon grabbed her hand and pleaded "Aunt Elize, what are you doing here? Leave... How did you come here?"

Elizabeth has already lost her powers. If she is here, she might also lose her life.

He glanced at the spatial fissure behind them "Quickly leave, Aunt Elize.. we need Charlotte...."

His voice trembled more with fear for her than the pain that wracked his body.

But his words faltered as the wounds on his body began to repair and the arm he lost instantly grew back.

As the pain disappeared, he blinked his eyes and looked at Elize’s hand glowing in blue energy.

His gaze trembled ’Ether...?’

H-Huh? He looked at her calm blue eyes "Aunt Elize?"

She smiled gently, brushing her hand along his cheek as the healing glow began to fade "Good thing you called me as soon as possible."

Her gaze then flickered to Yverine who was kneeling beside half naked "Look after him for a while, would you?"

Yverine snapped out of her daze and slowly nodded her head "O-Okay..."

Elize stood up and Brandon hurriedly grabbed her hand "Aunt Elize, no wait-"

Elize showed a smile and patted his hand "Don’t worry dear, i got this."

With that, she disappeared from there, leaving Brandon in shock.

He stared at the spot where Elize had disappeared and his mouth opened slightly as if trying to call her back, but no words came out.

"...Aunt Elize?"

The wind howled quietly through the broken buildings, dust rising and falling like mist.

He turned slowly, and beside him, Yverine was kneeling, her chest heaving up and down.

She was half-naked, covered by ragged scraps and layers of blood and grime.

She looked... exhausted.

Yet her eyes were still sharp.

Brandon opened his mouth, and asked in a hoarse voice "Are... you alright, Sister Yve?"

She didn’t answer immediately.

Instead, she exhaled slowly... a long, pained breath and sat back against a chunk of concrete, one hand gripping her side.

"I should be dead. Twice."

Brandon blinked in shock "What?"

"I saw the light both times," she said with a tired chuckle. "Saw my Master getting destroyed... Saw you bleeding out... Thought that was the end."

Brandon frowned, eyes narrowing as he sat up a bit straighter and pain flared up in his ribs. "But... how?"

Yverine looked down at her blood-streaked palms and then, from behind her, seven silver fox tails emerged, flowing like embers in the breeze.

"I had nine tails," she muttered.

"Each one represents a life. That’s how my Aspect works. One death, one tail. Now..." she looked at him.

"I have seven left."

Brandon’s lips parted and his gaze lowered "Sorry, it’s all because of me, Sister Yve."

He clenched his hand into a fist "I’m sorry. I wasn’t strong enough..."

Seeing this, she reached out and patted his head "You’re not there yet. But you will be."

Her eyes softened slightly as she looked at him "You made the right call, Brandon. She wouldn’t have come if you didn’t call her."

Brandon looked down at his hand and it still glowed faintly from Elize’s touch.

Her ether and somehow, she had restored his arm.

But more importantly, she had ether again.

Real, functioning ether.

"...How is she using ether again?" he muttered.

Yverine didn’t answer as she didn’t know either.

She turned back to the spatial rupture which is still pulsuating "From the looks of it, it seems like she is still in her prime."

*THOOM*

Naevora’s body arced through the air, crashing into a broken stone pillar before collapsing on one knee.

Her chest heaved as she dug the butt of her spear into the cracked floor to stop herself from falling further.

Another mouthful of blood stained her lips.

She coughed again and her vision blurred as she looked up at Ji Lingsha.

Ji Lingsha who was about to make a move, suddenly stopped as she felt a new presence entering the battlefield.

Huh?

Naevora also felt the presence and turned her head toward Brandon’s direction ’Another Empyrean beside Brandon?’

She was already barely holding herself upright against Ji Lingsha and a second one would mean death.

She bit her lip hard enough to bleed and braced herself, muttering, "Tch... worst case, I’ll take both of them with me..."

However, she noticed that Ji Lingsha is equally shocked ’What?’

*flick* In the next instant, with a blur in space, a figure appeared.

Naevora’s eyes widened in surprise and a drop of blood dripped down her mouth "Miss.. Elize?"

Elize’s gaze flickered to Naevora and saw the body state she is in.

Her gaze softened, knowing that she endured all of this for Brandon’s sake.

"Rest for a bit."

Naevora blinked slowly ’The way she appeared just now... Don’t tell me...’

Elize then turned her head to Ji Lingsha who was still in shock and her eyes narrowed "What? Did the government order you to kill Brandon?"

Ji Lingsha gritted her teeth in anger "Elizabeth Fleurdys."

Elize’s eyes narrowed further seeing her reaction and she took a step forward "Since you dared to lay a hand on my boy..."

*swoosh* Ji Lingsha just blinked and in the next instant, Elize grabbed her face and slammed it down on the floor.

*THOOOOMMM* The impact caused a great ripple and a big crater formed around her.

The earth shattered under the blow.

A shockwave erupted from the crater’s center, sending chunks of concrete, steel, and dungeon stone flying into the air like missiles.

A deep crater formed beneath them, glowing faintly from the heat of impact.

Naevora instinctively brought her arm up, her body sliding back from the force alone.

’Holy shit...’ she gasped in her mind. ’That wasn’t even a skill. That was just raw strength.’

Lingsha grunted in pain, her face scraped and bleeding, her spine jarred by the sudden impact.

But she rolled out of the crater’s center, blood trailing from her lips.

Elize remained still, standing over the crater like it meant nothing.

Lingsha wiped blood from her mouth. "So you still have your ether core I see..."

She dashed forward, driving her heel into the cracked earth as she shot ahead like a missile.

Her fists blazed with condensed ether, shimmering with violet flame as she aimed a straight punch at Elize’s face.

CRACK!

Elize’s hand shot out like lightning and grabbed Lingsha’s wrist mid-strike stopping it dead.

The bones in Lingsha’s forearm snapped audibly under the grip.

Her eyes widened but then came the follow-through.

BOOM!

Elize’s elbow slammed into Lingsha’s chest like a piledriver.

"GUAAGHHHH!" A spray of blood exploded from Lingsha’s lips as she shot backward, crashing through a broken column.

The entire upper half of the stone detonated into debris.

Elize appeared behind Lingsha before her body could even hit the ground and kicked her spine, launching her further.

THOOM-!

Lingsha bounced across the dungeon’s stone plains like a ragdoll, her body skipping across rubble, stone, and steel before embedding into the side of a half-collapsed ruin.

RUMBLE-!!

The building cracked from the impact and partially collapsed on top of her.

Elize calmly walked across the battlefield.

Dust cleared and Lingsha stood up and her legs were trembling.

Her arms hung at odd angles and her shoulder was dislocated, with her jaw bleeding and cracked on one side.

But she was still standing.

BOOM-!

A wave of blue energy exploded outward from Elize’s palm.

"ARRGHHHH!" Lingsha’s ribs caved in as the ether blast hit point-blank.

She was blasted through the air and slammed into the ground with a sickening crack, leaving a long bloody trench.

Elize was on her in the next second and landed a downward punch.

CRUNCH!

Lingsha’s nose shattered under the strike and her head slammed against the rubble beneath, cracking the stone open.

Elize’s hand gripped her by the hair and yanked her back up-

SLAM!

She drove her face into a pillar.

SLAM!

Again.

SLAM-!!

Stone and blood scattered like mist and Lingsha’s face was a crimson mess, and her lips were shredded.

Elize spun and kicked Lingsha in the ribs and the sound of bones cracked as the Empyrean tumbled across the ground.

Naevora watched from a distance, blood still pooling at her feet.

’She’s... she’s destroying her...’

Ji Lingsha coughed, blood pouring from her mouth as she tried to rise and raised her gaze to look at Elize.

Just looking at her face made Lingha’s blood boil "I... I WILL KILL YOU! ELIZABETH!"

Her eyes blazed as purple flames seared across her body and she slowly stood up "I WILL TAKE MY REVENGE FOR KILLING MY MOTHER!"
