As for the condensed wind lake—it lost its only importance of increased wind concepts comprehension when they got the tals themselves for that, so they left it behind without much hesitation.
And as for the traces of the Calamitous Energy Clentine had felt, after a bit more investigation, she confird her suspicion. It was the start of the creation of a new calamity here, but now with them taking away the energy source that would’ve fed its creation, it probably had no chance of coming to life anymore.
The unborn beast was a candle snuffed out before it could ever flicker.
... ... ... ... ...
On reaching the ground...
Clentine suggested sothing else instead of finding a calamity to test her little sisters’ new elents and their Elental Powers. "How about you two spar with ?" she suggested with a challenge. "I’d like to see how much stronger you have beco after your recent evolutions," she added, smiling.
Aphryne and Auguszta exchanged a glance, clearly surprised by their big sister’s words. "Well, I don’t mind," Auguszta readily agreed. "I also want to see how strong I’ve beco. Let’s see if you can defeat as quickly as before, big sis Clentine!" she challenged boldly.
"Let’s see," Clentine nodded, her lips arched. Her attention shifted to Aphryne. "What about you, little sister? Do you not want to fight ?" she taunted playfully.
"No!" Aphryne shook her head firmly. "I don’t want to embarrass myself before husband, big sis. I’ll fight you so other ti because I know I’m not strong enough to defeat you as I am now," she smiled.
UH!
"Well?" Clentine blinked. "Understood," she nodded and focused on Auguszta again. "Let’s move a bit further from here. In an even more open space."
The three nodded at the suggestion.
Soon they ca to a stop quite far from the cave, about a 1000 ters. Again, as there was such less flora here, this treeless area was a perfect place if one wanted to have a good spar without worrying about collateral damage.
"Okay, before we begin, can you brief about a bit of what your new elent is and can do? Also your Elental Power too, like its functions, traits, effects, etc."
Auguszta paused, going into a deep contemplative state. Like a scholar searching through the ancient scrolls of her own mind.
The information was there, however, it still took a few minutes for her to co to a basic understanding of what her new elents could do. She refocused on Clentine and opened her mouth.
"The na of my new Elental Power is ," Auguszta voiced clearly.
"aning—Cinders of Contradictory Limitation. It is a fla-type elental power just like my main elent Burningblight, which is also a fla despite its destructive, decaying, and poisonous nature, though its core nature has shifted more towards corruption now!"
"Varkyros is a complex elent much more powerful than mine. The flas carry within themselves the conceptual powers of contradiction and limitations, but it is neither a Law nor a Concept. As an Elental Power, it works on a completely different system altogether. aning even as I am, I’m fully capable of utilizing the two without feeling much resistance, neither from them nor the world, though the scale of what it can do as of now is also limited."
"However, as a fla exclusive to and closely connected to , it will grow stronger along with its effects and distinctive traits as I beco strong too!"
"My~!" Clentine raised her brows. "Little sister Auguszta got a fla elental power born on the foundation of two powerful Utmost Laws! How truly fortunate; even I don’t have sothing like that. Well, I didn’t have it previously, but you are still making this big sister jealous, you know," she complained playfully, her lips arched.
"Can you tell what Varkyros can do?"
"Heh!" Auguszta smirked confidently. "Don’t worry, big sister; you will eventually find out what it can do when we battle."
"Confident, are we?" Clentine chuckled, certainly amused by her attitude. "How about this: as a good sister, I’ll let you make the first move."
"I’ll gladly accept the offer, good big sister," Auguszta voiced. Imdiately she activated her ability—[Blightflare Devastation]. This was amplified by her passive ability—[Thermal Empowernt] which increases her flas’ offensive and defensive capabilities exponentially.
With her index finger pointing towards Clentine, she compressed a red-black sphere of Burningblight and released it forward.
BOOOM!
The sphere of compressed flas shot forward at an unimaginable speed, arriving before Clentine in a blink. Clentine used the palm of her hand to catch the sphere, which detonated on impact.
BOOOOOOM! TREMBLE!
The red-black flas raged. The ground cracked. The temperature rose incredibly. The impact was a volcanic eruption held in the palm of a hand.
However, through one of Burningblight’s new traits, Auguszta was now perfectly capable of controlling where it spread masterfully, preventing unwanted destruction. And since she knew that her husband and sister were watching, with a simple command from her head, the infernal flas imdiately halted their spread, keeping the immolating heat contained.
"These flas...!" Clentine muttered.
The ground—ters upon ters—was burning in red-black, with a red-haired woman standing at the center of it, observing her hand. Her eyes narrowed when she saw the corruptive rot spreading through her skin.
Her natural regenerative abilities were now working against her. The corruption made the regeneration recreate the decay instead of her wounds after all.
These flas were like a disease. They were also burning her from within, destabilizing her energy channels, igniting her muscles, and feeding on her vitality, the surrounding heat, and the natural energy to grow stronger with each passing second. The blight was a parasite, feasting on the very life it ant to destroy.
Evidently, the Flas of Burningblight were truly sothing worthy of being wielded by a Calamity!
Capable of even corrupting her energy. Well, they would’ve been if she too was a pureblood normal existence, but she was not. Let’s not even ntion her own corruption; the quality of her existence (matter, energy, and information) was simply way too superior compared to Auguszta’s.
In other words, with a simple thought from her side, all the effects of the elent [Burningblight] were rendered useless.
The flas on her body vanished without a trace along with the ones in her imdiate surroundings.
At the sa ti, Clentine also reactivated the passive sub-ability effect one—[Blood Harmony Absolute]—of her ability effect two—[Pride Throne: Hemarch Dominion]—of her absolute ability—[Blood Queen’s Quintessence!]
What it did was simple—it had an absolute suppression effect on anyone who had blood lower than hers, a 100 percent suppression on existences who had an equal tier blood, and 50 percent on individuals who had a higher blood than hers, regardless of their race, numbers, or any other factors.
It was an absurdly strong ability and had an imdiate effect.
Auguszta beca paralyzed.
Her body trembled.
Her eyes widened as she looked at her big sister, but this ti with fear. A deep primal fear that ca from her very blood. It roared at her to bow down—and she did. Her head lowered. It roared at her to kneel—and she did, falling on her knees. Like a leaf caught in the crushing weight of a winter gale.
