Chapter 38: The Powerhouses

"Impossible!" Tania shouted in shock. "How can you have collected 9 blood essence already?"

"Simple, the rebel alliance does not deprive us of resources unlike that hell house of yours." Rubert said mockingly. "Fall! Memory: Unending Storm: Lightning Rush!" Countless lightning fell onto Tania from all sides of the storm. The thick thunder brought down all its might upon contact.

"World Energy: Perfect Manifestation: Divine Protection!" a golden shield covered the entirety of her angel body as she desperately tried to protect herself against the lightning.

Tania fell down crashing into the ground killing people on both sides upon impact. Her eyes could not help but be filled with fear as she looked at Rubert. 'I cannot win this fight.' she thought. There is an overwhelming gap between them. Completion of 9 blood essence gives bloodline users a significant power spike similar to the evolution of summons. This means that she is one tier below Rubert at the moment which causes her inevitable loss.

"Die! Memory: Unending Storm: Judgement of Thunder!" an enormous strand of electricity gathered on the part of the storm directly above her and swiftly fell down ready to kill her. Strength difference is absolute. Amidst the fall of lightning, the space it is falling to, seemed to sway. The interaction caused an enormous explosion mid air.

A red haired gentleman could be seen floating in the air after the smoke cleared.

"Pifo, to think that a figure such as yourself would appear here." Rubert said in a solemn tone. 'Why is that monster here? Our plans just got foiled.'

"You picked the wrong place, Rubert. Prepare to die." The teacher of Z said it softly but the feeling of suppression is still evident. "Space Element: Release: Collapse!" space around rubert seemed to crumble and compress with him as the center.

"Lightning Gryphon: Memory: Blitz!" Just like lightning, Rubert dashed away from the crumbling space.

"There is no escape!" Space explosions are happening mid air as Pifo tries to hit the lightning fast Rubert.

"Fine, I admit I cannot accomplish this mission by myself, why don't you come out now!?" Rubert shouted to the air.

After a moment, a sweet and gentle voice could be heard. "Haha, see?" an extremely seductive lady in pink hair and black clothes appeared out of thin air. "Ice Element: Perfect Manifestation: Ice Domain!" Suddenly, the entire field was covered in thick ice. Countless people around the area turned into ice sculptures. Fortunately, Z and Lily were far away from the scene.

"Seems like the rebels are serious this time. Are you sure you wouldn't rather stay home and 'mingle' with your toys, Breeder of Ice?" Pifo taunted.
