Sarah saw the Asmadian Lord, getting up to get away from her, and her eyes burned in a fierce light, the poison being radiated by her, increased its intensity, so much that the ground below her feet imdiately lted away.
The Balax Lord who was about to scold Reed swallowed his words, because Sarah's one edged sword suddenly cut through the armor of his Battle Avatar, but that wasn't the main problem, the strength behind Sarah's slash was high enough to slash Byron's battle aura protection, that was sothing he knew since he took a punch from the crazy girl earlier.
The problem is that before the sword sliced through the inner part of the Balax Lord's battle aura, the whole right arm started to lt in fractions of a second, just due to the proximity to Sarah's battle aura.
'No way, how high is the damn corrosiveness of her poison elent!', inwardly exclaid Byron, as he imdiately severed the connection between his Battle Avatar's body an its right arm, just in ti for the thing to lt and fall down to the ground, turning into a puddle of black liquid.
His wrath nether is incredibly tough and though on the negative side of the energy spectrum since he is a nethereal, it's not on the extre end, which is why he has been more or less holding his ground against Jasmine's light.
So, his nether is not at disadvantage against the one of the crazy girl, or that is supposed to be the case, but it got corroded just like that, what Byron didn't know is that Sarah had refined a lot of poisons which she obtained at Kerrol, in her normal state she could poison an Arch rank with direct contact, but when stimulated like she just did… her poison would affect her vicinity just with exposure to it.
And so, after having lted away the right arm of Byron's Battle Avatar, Sarah turned into a purple cot that shot towards Reed who had managed to put so distance between himself and the crazy, thanks to the Balax Lord's interference.
"Royal Decree!!!", the Asmadian Lord saw the wild crazy girl coming at him, with that slightly corroded sword and he once again shouted, unlike earlier, this ti there was a visible result.
A half black and half dark pink emblem with a mask whose right half is laughing, while the left one is crying, appeared above Sarah's head, the crazy girl was then forced to descend from the air, to heavily land on the ground.
"Crack!", a visible "blur" surrounded the purple haired girl, who just by standing there was making the solid floor of the throne room crack and sink.
Daimon who was observing the three sisters fight's, found his attention being drawn towards the crazy girl's battlefield once again, because there was sothing new being used there.
'That guy was already using his Domain to apply pressure on her, but that's on another level, also that emblem looks like the lust version of the "Seal of Greed" I obtained thanks to Agrak, so that must be a royal innate ability of the highest grade', thought Daimon to then chuckle.
Because even then, Reed had to cast it twice before he was able to affect the crazy girl, and that wasn't the worst part of it, the murderous glare in Sarah's eyes, vanished as if it wasn't there to begin with, as she was "forced" to stop her charge midway.
"So, this is "Royal Decree", it's not as amazing as its grand na would suggest, it took two shots to be restricted to at a similar level as what I was when cursed, did you beco so weak after all these years, or perhaps… you don't have it as easy when it cos to harm soone that isn't unable to resist~", playfully said Sarah.
Naturally, Sarah was referring to Reed's cowardly thod to curse Bell and herself, when they were under the effect of an illusion, and were really slowly affected by the Asmadian Lord's nether, Sarah was more than five years old when things blew up on Reed's face, so the pair of mother and daughter were being poisoned by him for years, before he managed to curse them.
"Still, I have to give you so credit, this is not a curse so little Jas's blessing doesn't block it", said the crazy girl in a voice that was loud enough for both of her sisters to hear it, the result was the light princess raising her staff and letting go of Gram, which blocked the attack Byron's Battle Avatar that was missing an arm, to then point her now free right hand at Sarah.
"Silver Fortress", Jasmine casted her spell with each of her hands, one flew at Reyne while the other was absorbed by Sarah, resulting in crackling sounds coming from the crazy girl as she stretched her body, which dispelled half of the "blur" that was surrounding her.
"Mmm, it looks like it won't be dispelled so easily, but it's not like this much is a problem for , especially because I won't have to worry about my cute sisters being affected by it~", mockingly said the crazy girl, making Byron grit his teeth.
'That fucking idiot, he was led by the nose so easily and now "Royal Decree" won't work on the ones we needed it to!', inwardly cursed the Balax Lord.
Earlier Jasmine blocked the possibility of them using curses to weaken Reyne, and they wouldn't work in Sarah to begin with, so the idea was to use Royal Decree which isn't a curse, but a lineage ability linked to the rank they have been "officially" granted.
The three sisters might be on par with them, who are princes from their respective families, but they don't have any noble ranks, so Royal Decree would work on them, or that would have been the case, if their magic defense didn't just triple right now.
In other words, Sarah baited Reed into using Royal Decree on her, so that she could analyze how it worked, and prevent her sisters from being affected by it, and it worked, the Asmadian Lord was afraid for his life by the crazy "act" put on by Sarah and rushed things up, thus crewing up Byron's plan, well she wasn't really acting, Sarah was furious after seeing Reed attacking Jasmine earlier, but she used even her own anger to trick Reed.
Of course she did have to pay a little price, since Royal Decree would be affecting her, but she is the strongest among the three sisters, so if soone can fight one of the Lords while being restricted, that is Sarah, not to ntion that the effect was halved thanks to Jasmine's spell.
Reality hit Reed like a truck after a second of contemplation, he was toyed with by Sarah, without the need for any mind tricks, she simply put on a play and he completely fell for it, because… he is afraid of her.
"Tsk, this surely has beco a problem, perhaps "soone" could give materials that are unaffected by poison to reinforce a sword for to use~", playfully said the crazy girl as she kept the sword, she was using which had been weakened by her poison, into her storage ring to take out another one, to then cutely flutter her pretty eyelashes at Daimon.
'So that's the reward she wanted, I would have given her so of my claws without any need for all this drama… but I guess that wouldn't be Sarah-like', thought Daimon as he sighed.
His claws are immune to poison to a certain extent, so he simply had to pluck out a few of them and the crazy girl will get a material that should work for her sword, they'll grow back in a second so Daimon didn't mind doing that much for Sarah.
"Ahem, eyes on the enemy", he limited to say, that being said, the crazy girl smiled knowing that her petition would be granted for sure, and with a brightened mood that was like poison for Reed, she happily said.
"If you have any other secret techniques, feel free to use them~", the Asmadian Lord saw red on the spot, his body was literally shaking due to anger at the sight of the crazy girl using him to flirt with the masked silver haired youth, had he been a normal human he might have suffered a stroke at this point.
However, Reed had no ti to be angry, since the crazy girl turned into a purple flash that appeared in front him, the next second, her sword which was burning in poison and darkness battle aura, slashed at the Asmadian Lord's chest, seeking to split him in half.
But this ti, Reed managed to react in ti, he blocked the incoming sword with his own magic treasure, that bow which was cladded in his darkness nether.
"Clang!", surprisingly his bow wasn't lted away by Sarah's poison, but that's because Reed was fighting corrosion with corrosion by using his darkness nether, that being said, his darkness was being lted almost as soon as it gathered.
Had it not been for the fact, that he has way larger energy reserves than Sarah, his bow would have been corroded by the crazy girl's battle aura, as for the physical impact, he was barely holding on thanks to Byron's buffs.
But it's not like Reed had gotten stronger, it's just that Sarah was being restricted, even then, he had to do his best in order to not be directly crushed by the fierce crazy girl, like earlier.
Speaking of fierce girls, a few monts ago at the center of the throne room, Byron who was fuming at the sight of Reed, putting the last nail on his plan, saw Jasmine change her focus from himself to her sisters and anger filled his chest.
Let's not forget that Byron is from the Wrath faction, and while he is composed and acts more like a commander than a warriors, his roots are those of a fighter, so being looked down to the point of not paying him attention in a direct confrontation, when the enemy is not even an attack type mage, surpassed the limit of his patience, add to that the fact that Reed kept screwing up his plans and you get a really angered Balax Lord.
"How dare you look away when fighting !", he shouted, only for Jasmine to softly snort at him in response.
But things didn't stop there, while Gram was stopping the left arm of his Battle Avatar and his great sword, Jasmine pointed her now free hands at him.
"Silver Shackles", the first spell resulted in Jasmine's body lightning in a white-silver light, as that was a buffing spell.
"Light Sealing Chains", the second one manifested in the form of thick light chains suddenly restraining Byron's Battle Avatar, very much to the Balax Lord's surprise, because he realized that he actually couldn't move, no matter how he tried, but the drop that broke the cal's back was that the light princess didn't use this chance to attack him, no, she used this chance to make sure her older sister was in a good condition even after being restrained by Royal Decree, with the help of her spell.
"You, arrogant bitch!", Byron's eyes turned completely red, similar to what happened to Aslan earlier, a sign that he was now using only royal nether, following up, his Battle Avatar's color went from dark red, to a much brighter color, and that wasn't the only change.
His already quite tall Battle Avatar, which had reached half a kiloter of size, grew a whole one hundred ters, which might not sound as much at the bigger picture, but don't forget that Byron is an early stage Archknight as of current, and normally at that level one's Battle Avatar would be considered outstanding just by surpassing the three-hundred-ter mark, and he doubled that as of current.
"Crack!", also, just by this sudden outburst, Byron broke out of Jasmine's, which put an end to the light princess's free ti, but she had already confird that Sarah was perfectly fine, she saw her flirting with Daimon a second ago after all.
"Unlike you pieces of trash, we didn't band together out of selfishness, and while I might not be as smart as my oldest sister nor as strong as my older sister… thanks to Daimon I learned what path I wish to take, I will protect my sisters so that no one will be able to take anything away from us ever again", mumbled Jasmine.
A white-silver sword and a white-silver spear manifested behind of the light princess, she actually used both Silver Sword and Silver Spear without any chant!
Jasmine then extended her right hand and Gram flew back to her, while she grabbed her staff which was cladded by the White Heavenly Javelin, to then point both of them at Byron.
The light princess's slender fra exploded in bright white mana, which was then poured into Gram and the Heavenly Spear, making a certain sword girl nod in approval.
'This light is different than earlier, I like you so let lend you a hand', said Narasha, for the first ti she directly spoke to Jasmine, whose eyes sparkled as she answered.
'Thanks', the light princess then glared at Byron as she said.
"Radiant Step".
The result was that the light princess flashed from her previous position, she turned into a white star that appeared in front of Byron the next second.
"Damn it!", the Balax Lord used the right arm of his Battle Avatar which was just reconstructed after Sarah lted it down, to block the light princess, in order to prevent her from approaching him more, however the hand of the Battle Avatar was pierced through by Jasmine's White Heavenly Spear, which was buffed by the Silver Spear.
That wasn't a spell, it was just the strength that her thrust had gained thanks to her buff, which allowed her to blast a hole on the armored hand of Byron's Battle Avatar, even now that he was using royal nether.
And now with a clear sight of her objective, Jasmine tightened her grip on Gram's hilt, everything was reduced to this mont, the opportunity that Sarah purposedly created for her by taking the initiative to be hit by Royal Decree.
"Royal White Heavenly Slash!", with a fierce yet llow voice, Jasmine's words made Byron's eyes contract like needles, the last of the three sisters managed to use royal nether for a spell, without the need for her crown to manifest!
And so, Jasmine who had copied the basics of Daimon's swordsmanship in order to create the White Heavenly Sword spell, plus Narasha guiding her to make up for the lack of experience she had at going for the offensive, the light princess slashed Gram at Byron's avatar.
"Boooom!", as a result of the previous, a giant white half moon stream of mana, cut the upper body of Byron's Battle Avatar, directly slashing through it to then slash Byron all the way from his abdon to his chest.
"Aghhhhh!", the wound on Byron's body was shallow, because he was both protected by his Battle Avatar and he also was wearing armor, however before Byron could react, his wound exploded in white light, which caused him excruciating pain, that forced a scream out of him, whether he wanted it or not.
The Balax Lord imdiately poured a whole ton of battle aura into the wound to force the pain down, while he tried to reconstruct the area of his Battle Avatar which was cut, but realized that he couldn't, there were white marks on his Battle Avatar which were preventing him from closing the gap that Jasmine slashed on it.
'What the hell, wasn't her damn nether based on protection, even if she used royal nether, how the hell did she managed to cut !', inwardly scread Byron as he jumped out of his Battle Avatar, he had to manifest it from zero due to those white marks, which were caused by Gram's "Light Branding" skill, but the Balax Lord has no need to know that, on the other hand, Jasmine was kind enough to explain him, why she could cut him.
"Defending is my preferred thod for sure, but if I were to behead you… wouldn't that also be protecting my sisters", said the light princess as she pointed Gram at Byron.
What was preventing her from using royal nether is that she was too focused in "defense", but just a mont ago she learned that protection is not tied to defending, she couldn't defend Sarah against Royal Decree with her buffs only.
And then she was reminded of Daimon, hasn't he protected everyone with a sword in his hand, if he was in her position, she was sure that Daimon would have beheaded the enemy before he had the chance to harm Sarah, and that would be protection as well.
That small detail which she was missing, allowed her to complete her understanding of royal nether, which is why the first spell she created to be used with it, was an attack type one, similar as to how Reyne's spell was flas, as in the fire elent of her human half.
"Did you see that, that's our little Jas for you~", proudly said the crazy girl as she clashed with Reed head on, with a wild smile on her pretty face.
The other one to imdiately notice the change on Jasmine's light, was the Bane Lord who was being forced backwards by Reyne's crimson flas, his skin had a lot of burnt patches as of current.
'There she reached it, can we finally fucking kill them!', he shouted at Byron who gritted his teeth as he answered.
'Yes, unfortunately Reed ssed things up, so we'll have to take a different approach, instead of weakening them directly, we'll beco stronger instead'.
"Red Glorious Crown", and with those words, a dark red spiked crown appeared above Byron's head.
"Royal Reinforcent, Royal Blood Glory!", as Byron's words echoed through the throne room, a red emblem with the form of a sword drenched in blood, appeared behind of the three Lords.
Contrary to what one would expect, their realms didn't increase, though that was definitely a buff type royal innate ability, but that's because the focus of it wasn't increasing strength… but lineage.
"We should have just done this from the very beginning, Dark Pleasure Crown!", shouted Reed as he blasted Sarah away with a giant wave of neon pink flas, the color of his nether had changed once again.
Similar to Byron, a crown manifested above his head, however his was more "refined" looking, also it was mostly black with so pink details here and there.
"Royal Reinforcent, Royal Mind Link!", that emblem with a pink mask which was half laughing and half crying, appeared once again, but this ti it was above the three Lords, who were obviously preparing sothing big.
"Humph!", the Nelapsi girl whose fight was suddenly interrupted, snorted, she pointed her lance upwards as she produced a giant sphere of crimson blood flas, why would she allow her enemies to charge their attacks, is what she thought.
Unfortunately, the Bane Lord knew that the sisters weren't greenhouse flowers, and his role was to buy ti.
"Black Death Crown", his crown was made out of black bones and had an ominous feeling to it, which provoked a certain head maid, since she found it offensive that the design had a certain resemblance to the necklace, she was so proud off, which was the proof that she belonged to Daimon.
'Humph, a cheap imitation, unlike Daimon who liberated us, that thing simply creates soulless puppets', thought Rita as she returned to her castle within Daimon's shadow.
"Royal Black Death Legion!", like Rita stated, Aslan made a large amount of undead raise from the ground, in order to block the sea of flas which Reyne just threw at Byron and Reed.
Of course, the undead turned into charred corpses in a matter of seconds due to Reyne's fierce crimson flas, but that was enough for them to finish what they were doing, which was basically Reed recovering his lineage to the level he needed for his innate royal ability to work the way they wanted.
Daimon who was observing the fight, frowned behind his mask as he saw strange symbols appear on the three Lord's bodies, they looked similar to the runes used for the Ancient Battle Armor technique, but degraded, as he was easily able to understand the purpose behind of them.
Also, they were carved into the bodies of the Lords, instead of simply appearing on top of their skin, like it would normally be the case, the result was simple but practical, the nether of the Lords shot through the roof on the spot.
A sudden surge of the three nethers of the Lords, advanced like a tsunami towards the three sisters on the spot.
The crazy girl's expression turned serious for a second, darkness gathered around her, but before she could take action, Daimon's voice made her stop in cold.
"They are acting as king pieces right now, so let handle this instead".
"As you wish, my beloved king~", cutely said the crazy girl, as she dispelled the nether she was gathering, she simply stood there with a confident smile on her pretty face and with sparkles in her eyes, because she could tell that whatever Daimon was about to do, it was sothing "different" than usual, her whole body which was trembling due to excitent, was telling her so.
'I bet not even the birdies have seen this yet~', she thought.
