Chapter 275 Crashing Waves!

"!!!" As the black ooze continued to expand outwards, everyone that was covered by the ooze started to notice something wrong.

The faces of those that had contact with the black ooze all paled, as they realized that they were unable to use any of their abilities!

No matter what way they tried to use their abilities, none of it worked! They were unable to do anything, not even just raising a simple defensive set-up!

"What?" Sounds of surprise could be heard by Delia all around her, as the victims of her black ooze slowly realized what had happened to them.

Naturally, most of them were horrified with what just happened to them.

A black ooze that prevents you from using your abilities? That was just too much!

Everyone affected by this black ooze started to look panicked, especially the Grand Symbolist, Grand Celestial, and the Grand Devourer.

Even these three, with all the power that they had in this world, were also rendered powerless by the ooze!

"Heh, you all look like sitting ducks to me now!" Delia thought to herself as she tightened her grip on the 8-foot long white spear that was being held by her right hand right now.

She held the spear with a grace comparable to that of a dancer, with its sharp tip pointed extended away from her.

"Anything that gets in contact with this black ooze will lose any of their supernatural abilities, and that also includes me. But in my case, it will take around 10 seconds for my abilities to disappear. After all, I am the owner of this black ooze." Delia thought to herself as the wings on her back began to slowly disappear, which undoubtedly was the cause of the black ooze.

The only thing that did not disappear from Delia was her clothes and spear, which were both real and not created by an ability.

With her losing her wings and her own powers, Delia started to shoot down towards the ground, which was due to the influence of gravity.

But even this had happened, Delia was not worried at all.

She had already positioned herself at the best place that she can be, and even falling down right now won’t affect her badly at all.

After all, Delia already had some countermeasures for her current situation.

The same thing however could not be said for the Grand Symbolist, Grand Celestial, and the Grand Devourer.

Their faces looked to be extremely unfocused and lost, which was normal since they just experienced an unexpected power deprivation.

To make the matters worse, all three of them started to fall down too, as all of their powers aiding their flight lost their effects.

"!!!" They all let out muffled shouts as their bodies got nearer and nearer to the ground. With the original elevation that they were in earlier, these three will not actually die when they hit the ground.

However, these three will surely suffer injuries, and that was already enough for Delia.

"Thud, thud, thud." Their bodies let out low thudding sounds as the hit the sandy ground.

Fortunately for these three, the sand had absorbed most of the impact, although pained expressions could still be seen on their faces.

Delia smiled upon seeing this, as she knew that she definitely managed to injure them.

Speaking about Delia, she was not falling down right now.

Delia’s body, which was free-falling earlier, was now placed atop a flying vehicle that the Celestials were using earlier.

With the aid of this vehicle, Delia was able to arrest her downwards momentum, allowing her to stay afloat.

historical

The driver of the vehicle, who turned out to be Tong’er, just gave Delia a nod as she stabilized the positioning of the vehicle. As for the little boy, he could be seen sitting on another vehicle, which was just behind Delia.

After seeing that it was only their enemies that fell, Delia started to relax her tense body as she tightened her grip on her spear.

"My black ooze might look to be extremely superior, but it has two weaknesses." Delia thought to herself as she ordered Tong’er to lower the vehicle.

"Its first weakness is that it is unable to nullify anything that was produced by technology. This vehicle that I am using right now was a product of an advanced technology, which meant that it won’t be affected by my black ooze." Delia mused as she patted the vehicle with slight affection. "As for the spatial weapons that we used earlier, its too bad that they had a mix of esoteric magic inside them. That makes them useless right now. Well, I am not really worried about being unable to use those weapons now. Just my spear alone is enough to let me win here!"

"The second weakness that this ooze had was its time limit." Delia thought more as her vehicle touched down on the ground.

Her foot then started to trudge through the red sand as she slowly sauntered towards the downed Grand Symbolist. "The effects of the ooze will only last for 5 minutes, which meant that my enemies will only be powerless for around 5 minutes... Right now, 30 seconds have already passed since my ooze has affected these three. That just means that I have 4 minutes and 30 seconds left until I can finish them off!"

"Schwing, schwing, schwing!" Delia waved her spear with an enthusiastic expression on her face.

Even if she was currently powerless now, Delia seemed to not have lost any of her confidence as she seemed to be even more fearless now.

"In my original world, I was touted to be the greatest spear user ever." Delia said as she got nearer and nearer to the Grand Symbolist, who was slowly standing up right now. One of his arm was twisted in the wrong direction, while some blood could be seen seeping through his clothes.

The Grand Celestial seemed to have fared better, as in his case it was only his left foot that was twisted.

The Grand Devourer on the other hand, did not even look like she was injured.

Sure, the Grand Devourer looked like she was in pain, but she seemed to not have suffered any injury that might impede her from moving!

Delia took note of these peculiarities as she continued talking.

"In my reign as the number one spear user, nobody was able to survive against my spear. Not even my master managed to survive against me! The only one who managed to do so was an old woman, who was the one that forced me to start my journey. Since then I have been wanting to face people who might force me to use my skill to its limits. I wish... that you three will be those people that I am looking for!"

By this point, Delia could notice that even though the three people in front of her were hurt, they seemed to be still full of fighting spirit. Their eyes were still razor focused, and the way that they positioned their bodies made it apparent that they were still intent on fighting Delia!

"Good, good, good!" Delia shouted as she saw this exciting sight in front of her. "This is just how I like it!"

After saying these words, Delia looked at the red-skinned humanoid, who had also fallen towards the ground.

He seemed to be uninjured too, and an irritated expression could be seen on his face.

Some curse words could also be heard coming out from mouth, which even for Delia was just too much to hear.

"..."It was quite obvious that his plans to fuse with his True Body had been impeded by Delia’s black ooze, which had made him this angry.

As she stared at the red-skinned humanoid longer, Delia started to feel unsettled, as she felt something unsettling coming from the humanoid.

This feeling was too much, that Delia realized that something must be up with the humanoid right now!

Her tongue, which she had been using since earlier, suddenly noticed that the air around the humanoid was starting to taste bland!

For Delia, who had always used her tongue everyday, this bland taste that she just detected was a major red flag for her!

"Tsk! I am originally planning to fight these three first before killing the humanoid. After all, 5 minutes are enough to kill them all." Delia thought to herself as she narrowed her eye. "But from the looks of it, it seems like I have to change my target first!"

Upon having this realization, Delia let out a deep breath as she made her decision.

"Angel, my Companions and all of you Celestials! We have a change of plans!" Delia shouted as she raised her spear. "All of you, go and attack the Grand Celestial, the Grand Symbolist, and the Grand Devourer! Do what you want with them, as long as you manage to incapacitate them. Oh and I don’t care if the Grand Celestial was your leader. If I said that you will incapacitate him, you shall do so! You know what will happen if you disobey me!

The Grand Celestial, who heard what Delia was saying, could only twitch as fury appeared on his face. It was quite obvious that what Delia just said managed to set off his ire.

And to make matters worse, there were no complaints or resistance from the Celestials themselves even when Delia just told them to attack him!

"You scum!" The Grand Celestial growled as he stared at Delia angrily. "Just you wait! Once this weird effect of your abilities disappears, I shall be the first one to make you suffer! So, you better be-"

Delia promptly ignored the curses that the Grand Celestial said as she changed directions.

"Boom!" By using her legs which had been strengthened through countless trainings, Delia blasted herself forwards towards the red-skinned humanoid.

Even without her powers, Delia’s movement through her normal body was just outstanding!

In no time at all, Delia found herself face to face with the red-skinned humanoid, who was just staring back at her with a smirk on his face.

"What the hell are you smirking for? Don’t you know that I am about to bring you your doom?? Delia said as she brought her spear crashing down on the red humanoid. "If you can still smile like that in this situation, something must be wrong in your mind!"

The whole space around Delia started to tremble, as the sheer power of her strike seemed to have bled out of the spearhead.

Whistling sounds could be heard as her spear descended, as the very air around it was being split apart by her attack.

As her spear approached the humanoid’s head, Delia’s focus sharpened, as she dedicated her concentration on her current attack.

"Water Spear: Crashing Waves!"

"Boom!"

The sand all around Delia and the red humanoid were thrown into disarray, as the sheer force of Delia’s attack had forced the sand to be scattered everywhere.

The bodies of Delia and the humanoid were covered by the red sand, making it hard for the others to see what had happened next.

"..."

All the spectators of the clash waited with bated breaths, as they all wanted to see the results of that exchange.

Did Delia manage to kill the humanoid with her powerful spear attack? Or did the humanoid pull out something ridiculous to save himself?

As it turns out, it was the latter that happened.

"Impressive, young woman. I never expected you to have an ability that nullifies other powers. It defiantly caught me by surprise. However, you seem to be under the delusion that something like that will be enough to take me down. You are really mistaken this time..." "The one who said these words was the red skinned humanoid, who had caught Delia’s spearhead with his right hand. He gripped it tightly, never letting it go even when Delia did her best to pull it out.

You never had fought a demon before, right?" The red humanoid said as he gave Delia a mocking smile. "Hehehe, don’t worry, this time, I shall personally give you a hands-on lesson regarding demon combat! You should be thankful about this!"
