Chapter 284 What about that? My bird is even better than yours!
At the moment that her powers came back, Delia started to celebrate, as she was confident that she can win this fight.
As she jumped towards her clashing opponents, Delia let out a bright smile as she circulated the power in her body.
"Boom!"
Delia’s two powers, which she had painstakingly cultivated during her journey on different worlds, started to erupt out of her body as she did not do anything to suppress it.
Her Spear Qi, which already reached the Sage Level, and her Holy Energy, which was at Grade 6 already, both emanated out of Delia in powerful waves, making the people below look at her in awe.
Delia ignored these looks as she focused on the fight in front of her.
With one slap of her wings, Delia redirected herself at the exact moment that the demon and Traveler Alex exchanged their attacks.
Once both of them were preoccupied with each other, Delia’s eyes let out a glint as she swung her spear down.
"Wind Spear: Torrential Tornado!"
Delia’s extremely rich Spear Qi rushed out of her arms, filling her spear with its power.
A massive tornado then materialized at the end of the spear, which hit the unsuspecting demon head on.
"Yes! That’s what you get for offending me!" Delia though to herself vindictively as she felt satisfied with what she did.
Delia’s Spear Qi was the first power that she had as a Traveler, which made her extremely familiar with it. All of the techniques that she can use with her Spear Qi were all extremely powerful, as they were the product of her intense training and her imagination!
The tornado that Delia manifested just now was a proof of that.
As for her second power which was the Holy Energy, Delia was also extremely confident with it, although she had decided to use this as a trump card if the demon pulls out something ridiculous out of his ass.
"Hmm, serves you right, you asshole." Delia thought to herself as she watched the demon slowly getting up from the rubble on the ground. "Come on, stand up! I am already waiting here for you!"
After feeling satisfied with her successful attack for a few more seconds, Delia was forced to look at Traveler Alex, as the said Traveler offered an alliance to fight against the demon.
Delia, whose tongue was giving her warning signals against Traveler Alex, was about to say no, but her attention was cut off when she saw a massive chicken silhouette behind Traveler Alex.
Delia ignored the suspicions that she had against Alex as she asked him,
"Holly molly. Is that a chicken behind you?"
****************
"This accursed brat!" Emperor Litch thought to himself angrily as he could barely stop himself from pouncing at the kimono woman. "Even you also disrespect the symbol of our Empire? If it were not for my need to ally with you now, I could have attacked you already!"
"Huff, huff, huff..."
The Emperor then took some deep breaths to calm himself down, as he repeatedly reminded himself to not attack the kimono woman for what she just said.
historical
Once he was sure that his hands won’t slip, Emperor Litch opened his eyes as he said,
"Yes, that is a silhouette of chicken behind me. Why, do you have any problems with that?"
"Oh, I have no problem with chickens! In fact, I love chickens!" The kimono woman suddenly said as she stared at the chicken silhouette intently. "They are one of the best creatures in the entire universe!"
"Oh, so you understand the importance of the chickens!" Emperor Litch delightedly said as his look at the kimono woman started to change. "I thought you will be another heathen, but as it turns out, you were also-"
"All kinds of chicken-oriented dishes are always delicious!" The kimono woman shouted in glee as she interrupted Emperor Litch. "Fried eggs, chicken soup, roasted chicken, all of them taste good! Mmm... just imagining that roasted chicken right now makes me hungry again. Oi you, did you bring any real chickens with you? I want to eat one later!"
Delia then proceeded to pant in front of the Emperor with her tongue wagged out, as her face became red and her eyes turned misty with pleasure. "Mmm... actually, eating fried chickens will be even better!"
"You c**ks**king, son of a b**ch!" Emperor Litch thought as he almost lost his composure. "You think chickens are just lowly food! You, you do not understand their high status in my Empire! You... you are one of these heretics who only treat chicken as food! The-the-there is no way that I can just let you leave this place alive!"
At that moment, Emperor Litch’s rage shifted to Delia, whose blasphemous words cannot be tolerated by him anymore!
"Hm?" Delia, who was busy on observing the demon below her, suddenly felt a chill as she felt someone attacking her from behind.
She looked behind, her, and she saw the Emperor, who was approaching her with a murderous expression on his face.
"You, what are you-"
Delai was forced to stop talking as the Emperor suddenly slashed his golden sword towards her!
"Boom!"
Delia’s instincts screamed at her to stop the golden sword from hitting her, as if this golden sword was an extremely dangerous object!
"Water Spear: Omni-Directional Blast!"
Delia then hurriedly waved her spear all around her, producing massive jets of water which flew out in all directions.
The Emperor’s Golden Sword, which was en route to plunge on Delia’s heart, shook a little as these water jets managed to redirect it!
Delia took this as the chance to dodge, flapping her wings behind her as she stared at the sword and at the chicken silhouette with more respect now.
"What the hell is the matter with this guy?" Delia thought to herself angrily as she saw the sudden change on her fellow Traveler. "Did I say anything to set him off? Hmph, that does not matter anymore! If this guy wants to kill me, then he must go through numerous obstacles first!"
After she thought of these words, Delia’s eyes flitted to her left side, which allowed her to see the demon, who was now rushing towards them.
This time around, it was not only the demon and his weapons that were rushing at Delia and the Emperor.
The demon’s Demonic Tower, which he had left idle earlier, was now hurtling towards Delia and the Emperor too!
Once she saw this, Delia’s smile only widened as she realized that an exciting three-way battle was about to start.
"Hmph, if you think I will just cower from this, then I have to apologize to you two." Delia thought to herself as her wings glowed.
She then grasped her spear tightly with both of her hands as she filled it with more of her Spear Qi. "If you want to kill me, then expect my powerful retaliation!"
As the demon with his demonic tower and the Emperor with his golden sword approached Delia, she let out a deep breath as she pieced her spear above her.
Her spear then started to glow red and white as she fed it with both Holy Energy and Spear Qi.
Her eyes, which had been normal earlier, was now glowing like the stars on the night sky!
"Combined Original Spell! Holy Fire Spear: Descent of the Chaste Phoenix!"
A massive firestorm then erupted out of Delia’s spear, covering both the Demon and the Emperor with its blaze.
"Skriya!"
This firestorm then transformed to become a majestic bird, who then flapped its wings as it continued to expand.
"Skriya"!
This bird, which looked way more majestic compared to the chicken behind the Emperor, continued to expands its fiery body, which led to more and more areas getting covered by the firestorm!
At the center of this majestic bird, Delia’s voice could be heard as she said,
"Heh, how does my bird compare to your chicken now, Traveler Alex? It seems like your chicken is just so-so compared to my phoenix!"
***************
3 MINUTES LATER.
"Suit up everyone. We are about to arrive." Alina’s voice, which had been the only thing that her allies heard since earlier, pierced through everyone’s ears as the space around them continued to lurch. "I know that some of you are feeling sick now, but we just need 10 more jumps. Once we did that, we can start our mission!"
"..." Nobody from Alina’s allies gave any reply to her, as all of them seemed to be only waiting desperately for their current transportation to end.
"..." Alina looked visibly cringed by her allies’ lackluster comments, but she took no note of that as she could understand their pain.
After all, Alina just used her power to forcibly fold space and push everyone forward at extremely dizzying speeds.
For some of them to feel sick was already a given, so the only thing that Alina and her allies could do now was to accept their current conditions.
"Schloop."
Ten jumps later, and the lurching of space around Alina stopped, making everyone near her sigh in relief.
"Oh my goodness. That was the worst day of my life!" Astria, whose green face was almost close to puking, muttered out as she relaxed her grip on her chair. She then pointed a trembling finger at Alina as she muttered, "You-you-you fiendish woman! You really enjoyed making me feel like this, right?"
"I never thought about tormenting you like this, although I certainly enjoyed seeing your face right now." Alina replied smoothly as she sneered at Astria. "So how does it feel to ride Alina’s Express? Did you enjoy it?"
"Enjoy my ass! I prefer to just be left inside a dark room than ride on that accursed express!" Astria shot back as she glared at Alina angrily. "Oi, you woman, why do you still smirk at me like that? Do you want to fight with me right no-"
"Boom!"
Whatever Astria wanted to say was cut-off, as this sound of explosion forced Alina and Astria to stop.
Their heads swiveled as they looked at the source of the sound, and at the moment that they did, their eyes narrowed as their breathing started to hasten.
Queen Mother, Professor Frances, and all the Symbolists were looking at the source of the explosion too, and they also looked extremely serious, with some of them managing to forget that they were about to puke earlier.
"...."
Right in front of their eyes, what they could only see was a scene of apocalypse.
Numerous broken fragments of the Red Moon freely floated across the space, which was accompanied by bodies of people floating nearby.
The whole Red Moon was gone already, as its remaining parts were only small pieces of land, which looked pitifully small and rough.
Massive explosions filled the area, with the explosions looking not like the typical explosions.
Explosions laced with lightning, explosions laced with blue fire, explosions covered with deadly poison, and etc. appeared almost instantaneously, making Alina and her allies feel extremely wary right now.
"We... we just arrived four minutes since the Red Moon was destroyed, yet things had already become like this? I... I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing for us." Alina thought to herself as she gritted her teeth. "Our plan to save Alex depends on whether we can join in the fight... If things had already reached this state, can we still use our plan?"
"Boom!"
More explosions then filled the area, which just intensified Alina’s already bleak feelings.
