Page 378 of Heaven, Earth, Me

Meanwhile, Angel, Andrea, Evelyn, Cecile, Kali, and Sierra were walking down the street and looking at the foreign architecture.

Sierra's huge body would generally be an inconvenience and very eye-catching. However, there were plenty of giant races and beasts in this Continent full of exotic variety.

From time to time, they could even spot creatures larger than her, humanoid people that would make Sierra look small, and flying beasts that glided above their heads with massive wingspans.

Angel couldn't help but mutter, her voice laced with awe. "This place is impressive. So many races and creatures. It is very different from our cities."

Evelyn commented. "Visually, it is enjoyable for the eye. However, I'm unsure how the establishments in this city work with such discrepancies in size."

The others were also curious. Even though they'd walked the city before and entered some shops, they had only entered normal-sized stores.

Andrea commented. "How about we enter one of the giant buildings? I'm rather curious. Also, it would be interesting to see a master in our professions to compare with our work. What do you say, girls?"

Kali nodded, her tails swaying as she walked. "I thought we would receive Mirrory's guidance today, but I didn't expect Yasenia and Tatyana to fall asleep like that. Seeing workers in action is a good thing."

Mirrory commented. "I want Tatyana to be present in the demonstration. However, I can tell you that now that you are in the Unification Realm, you will have to work in the soul aspect a lot more, and consequently, you will begin your understanding of the laws."

Cecile raised an eyebrow, interested. "Laws? We'll learn laws soon?"

Thankfully, Mirrory wasn't materialized, or Cecile would have received a glare full of disdain. However, her tone could actually make them imagine her current expression. "Laws? Youngsters like you learning laws? Not even Tatyana's main body has a real understanding of the laws. What can juniors like you do?"

Cecile wasn't offended; this archaic mirror had all the right to be as arrogant as it wanted since its real strength was something unimaginable to them. "Then, what do you mean?"

Valeria took the conversation, explaining more patiently and gently. "You girls have to remember that understanding a law entirely is similar to becoming a god. If you comprehend a law perfectly, everything that doesn't understand them is like an insect in front of you. A thought, and they are gone."

Their face became serious. Such a terrifying power was scary. Valeria chuckled. "Don't worry; only creatures in a high-rank world, stronger than even the Sky Continent, can comprehend complete laws."

Angel suddenly asked. "But I heard senior Tian Long using them before."

Valeria asked Kali. "Can you show me that memory, Kali?"

Kali did so, and Valeria observed the eternal chains attack. Then, she commented. "That's bending the laws, not using them. If that dragon had known how to use the Death Law, he wouldn't have had to materialize to deal with those Demon Monarchs."

They were somewhat speechless but nodded in acceptance. Valeria continued. "However, laws are not learned so easily. There are various steps to take."

"You first must understand an [Intent]. This can channel some concepts into your attacks. For example, if someone had learned about the [Wind Intent], that person would be able to control all wind around them to a certain degree. A person with an Intent is also much more powerful than one without it since Intent is the first step toward learning a law."

Andrea asked. "How much stronger?"

Valeria thought for a second. "Following the previous example, if someone without an initial level of Wind Intent attacks a rock and can cut a tenth with wind blades, someone with it can at least cut one or two of those rocks with the same strength."

They were surprised. Such a high advantage was not a joke.

Valeria commented with a chuckle. "Your dear dragoness already understands an intent, but she hasn't used it actively ever because she didn't reach the Unification Realm."

They were stunned. "Which Intent did she learn?"

Valeria said. "More than one. The one I can actively sense is Sword Intent. However, I don't know when or where she did learn it because she already had it when she met Kali for the first time."

Their expressions became heavy. Yasenia had once again taken a giant step forward before they could realize it. Moreover, it had been a long time ago. 'Wasn't Yasenia a level one Mental Nourishing Realm at that time? How could it be?'

While Cecile thought about it, a scene flashed in her mind.

She remembered that after Yasenia got [Draconic Heart] for the first time, their master Madeleine took them on a training journey. At that time, Yasenia was very unused to the giant sword and kept failing to cast her skills.

However, one morning, Yasenia's aura seemed to change as Madeleine and Cecile observed her. Her cumbersome swordplay felt like it had taken a giant leap forward, and her movements became smooth like water.

She also remembered Madeleine's shocked expression when Yasenia broke through that invisible barrier. Cecile's heart became even heavier. "I think I know when it happened."

Cecile explained the situation, and Valeria and Mirrory nodded. Valeria said. "It must have been. Sword skills can't be suddenly increased without learning the essence of the sword [Sword Intent]. What level was she at that time?"

Cecile said. "Body Modification Realm."

Valeria and Mirrory became silent. Then, Mirrory said. "I will be blunt, so don't take it badly. But the only ones that can compare in raw talent to Yasenia are Cecile, Kali, and Angel."

Andrea and Evelyn nodded. Andrea smirked and said. "I knew about that. That's why I'm always trying to improve. Moreover, Evelyn has inherited a Thunder God's legacy, so she isn't that far away from the others. If it weren't for the Heaven-born flame I got, I would have probably been unable to keep up. Even with Yasenia's nourishment."

Andrea clenched her fist and said. "However, I won't give up. Even if the world doesn't want me to become someone exceptional, I'll carve a path myself. I refuse to be left behind by her."

The others saw Andrea's light green eyes shining with determination and felt admiration. Even before the abnormal Yasenia, Andrea's will to improve and be a step before Yasenia had only been strengthened, resulting in her being the person with the highest Cultivation Level.

Valeria and Mirrory looked at Andrea thoughtfully for a second. However, they didn't say anything more.

Mirrory commented. "Speaking is easy. You'll have to probe those words with actions."

Andrea nodded, her back straight and with a fearless smile on her charming face. "I know."

Valeria explained a bit more about the path toward understanding laws. "Well, intents also have different levels, and after perfecting an Intent, you must comprehend domains. Only after perfecting domains will you be able to start trying to understand laws."

They couldn't help but clench their fists; the path of cultivation was very long. When they feel they've reached a small height, an enormous mountain appears every time on the horizon.

Valeria saw their expressions, so she said. "The path is long. I won't explain more of it for now. We'll continue the conversation when we return to the house and Tatyana is present."

They didn't have any objections and continued walking around. Although, at first, they were a bit distracted by their thoughts, they soon became calmer.

After a while, they decided to enter a smithy. However, the doors were almost twenty meters tall.

The building was truly imposing, making them feel truly small. If it weren't because the readable sign on the side of the building, it wouldn't have been possible to know it was a smithy.

Andrea stepped forward and placed her hand on the door. However, a humanoid giant with four arms looked at them with a sneer and mocked aloud. "What are you little ants doing here? Do you think you can open these doors? Hahaha, you should go to one of the small smithies at the side."

They all looked up at the fifteen-meter-tall man and blinked.

Sierra placed them below her and growled, lightning coursing around her white. The man saw the lighting and frowned, but he wasn't too afraid.

However, Angel scrunched her nose and walked forward.

The people around looked at the pouting cutie walking out of the protection of the beast and shook their heads. 'Does she think those doors are made of hay? What can she do with that little body?'

However, their eyes were bound to almost pop out of their skulls with Angel's following action.

*BANG!*

The door opened like a cannonball struck it when Angel kicked it with her short leg. Our group members chuckled and looked at the shocked faces at the sides.

"Sierra, relax. Let's walk inside." Kali walked forward after reminding them about their current identities via spiritual sense communication.

Sierra's expression returned to a cold and aloof one, standing behind them again.

Meanwhile, Angel blinked, having forgotten completely. However, she was quick-witted enough to say with a cute smile. "Master, you can go inside now~."

Kali and Cecile nodded and patted her head one after another. "Good job, little slave."

Angel nodded with a smile.

Then, Angel looked at the giant man, making him flinch with lingering fear. "S-Sorry, miss, I was blind and failed to see your greatness."

Angel snorted and walked inside with a cutely proud expression.

Andrea couldn't resist pinching her gelatinous cheeks.

Meanwhile, outside the smithy, a certain brown-feathered harpy was hiding between the stunned crowd while sweating buckets. 'Fuck my life. I have to approach those monsters!?'

Shaking her head, she decided to try later. 'What if they are still annoyed? I don't want to become a punching bag!'

Inside the building, our girls looked around with interest. The ceiling was as tall as twenty-five meters. Many weapons, armor, and other items made for giants hung on the walls, and there was a counter in the far right corner of the room.

The counter was like a four-story tall building, and to their surprise, the side facing them was transparent, showing two floors inside. This counter was like a building inside a building, strange and innovative.

The creature standing on the counter was neither too small nor too big relative to the place.

It was a red-furred bear kin with a height of four meters. His similarities to a common bear were abundant, but his body was better suited for walking on two legs since the legs were longer and more muscular.

He was quite an intimidating creature.

However, our girls didn't fear him in the slightest.

Angel commented. "I feel like I'm in the lands of giants! Won't it be very cumbersome for people to jump onto the counter if they want to speak with him?"

Evelyn chuckled, "Look, there are stairs at the side. The shop is very customer-friendly if they have common-sized items. Should we take notes for our future shops?"

Andrea commented with interest, "We really should. Look, there aren't only stairs. Aren't the two counters on display like building floors?"

They focused on them, and Kali muttered with wonder. "They've got a building inside a building. I guess that guest of normal size can find their items there too. I just spotted a common-sized sword there."

While discussing the intriguing shop, the bear-kin jumped from the counter, landing in front of them with a loud bang.

He was a Low-level Spiritual King realm body cultivator, equivalent to a Mental Nourishing Realm cultivator, so that kind of feat was nothing.

He looked at our girls with an unfriendly gaze. Then, he spoke with his gruff voice while pointing with his claw. "Our [Father Bear Blacksmith] does not welcome humans. Less so those that damage doors in their entry!"

They looked at the door he was pointing at and saw a dent in the closed door. It seems that Angel's kick was a little stronger than she expected.

The blonde cutie couldn't help but blush. She generously said. "H-Here, mister bear, ten low-level Parus, this should be enough for the door, right?"

The bear sneered and clawed toward Angel.

Their faces fell, but thankfully, the speed of the attack was too slow for them.

Angel observed the claw getting closer with a confused look. 'Why did he attack me?'

Sierra calmly said. 'Don't counterattack. Leave it to me.'

Angel nodded obediently and waited in place as the claw approached her.

Sierra's body blurred when the claw was thirty centimeters away and didn't seem to have lost momentum, and her paw descended on the bear-kin with monstrous strength.

The bear-kin's eyes widened, and he jumped backward, dodging Sierra's attack. Of course, Sierra allowed him to dodge.

However, when the bear-kin had dodged the strike, Sierra didn't stop the descent of her paw and increased her strength.

*BANG!*

The smithy trembled under the Wolf Queen's monstrous strength, and the floor below her paw cracked. Then, she growled toward the scared bear-kin.

Cecile stepped forward and released her bloodline pressure on top of him.

If he wasn't scared enough before, when the low-level Ancient-ranked bloodline pressure slammed onto him, he almost pissed himself in fear.

Cecile's voice entered his ears with a tone that could freeze hell. "How dare you attack my person, scum!"
