Chapter 606: Chapter 606. Cecile's, Andrea's, and Kali's Speech, I mean, skills.

After Angel asked, Cecile flapped her large silver wings once, making a small jump to the open space, and summoned her bow. "[Moon Chasing Bow]." From her inner fist, two plumes of white fog shot in both directions because of the freezing temperature of the weapon.

In an instant, Cecile's bow materialized. It was white, with beautiful trails of white smoke on the tips, intricate craftsmanship, and at least half her height.

Cecile commented while looking at the bow she created indifferently. "My physical bow is good, but I like to practice with bow creation skills. I think relying on a weapon that could break is not the best. After all, once I'm at melee range, battling a powerful sword like Yasenia's with my bow could destroy it."

The shape was intricate, and there was something Evelyn noticed quite soon. "Oh? The edges are sharp."

Cecile nodded and continued. "As I said, I want to make close-range combat a possibility, not a weakness. Giving up on melee combat and saying it is my weakness doesn't sit right with me. So, I've created skills for melee combat besides refining my movement techniques."

Her cold voice continued to spread. "My usual attack, without using skills, is to create the [Lunar Space Arrow] and shoot continuously. They are quick, ignore the wind, and can even slightly bend space to be even faster, and when impacting, the Spatial and Moon energies inside it explode. After trial and error, I learned that adding Wind energy complicates things and limits my arrow-making capabilities. Although it is one of my elements, I'm much more attuned to the Moon and Space elements."

Kali asked. "Did you give up on the Wind Element?"

Cecile shook her head. "Not at all. However, you are right if you are asking if I have stopped using most of the skills I learned in the Academy."

Andrea pondered. "So, you've created your new skills?"

Cecile looked at Andrea and nodded. "I think most of us have created a good array of skills. Thankfully, we had Valeria, Mirrory, and Tatyana to help us refine them and avoid many detours we would've taken otherwise."

Evelyn smirked. "You are quite chatty when speaking of these things."

Cecile tilted her head, curious. "I'm not a silent person."

The others blinked a few times, and Yasenia laughed. "Sweetheart, remember that you are most of the time speaking to me via our soul bond."

Cecile nodded, indifferent. "I see. Either way..."

Evelyn's lips twitched. 'She is quite eager to continue.'

"... the intents I've learned are [Bow Intent Level Two], [Void Intent Level One], [Phoenix Intent Level One], and [Harmony Intent Level One]."

Andrea asked. "Not archery intent, but bow intent?"

Cecile nodded. "I think my knowledge in bow making influenced it. The one I'm still confused about is Void Intent. I was trying to learn space, but I learned void. They are not the same, right?"

Mirrory theorized. "I think that happened because you absorbed the [Void Soul Phoenix Tear] that you found in the middle of that Tear Lake in the Secret Realm."

Cecile tilted her head. "It might be possible. My soul grew at least ten times after I absorbed that thing. To not feel changes should be rather difficult."

Cecile continued. "Anyway, my attacking skills are the following. [Moon Freezing Catastrophe], [Moon Phoenix Feather Rain], [Flashing Moon Arrow], [Lunar Fire Storm] [Moon Shredding Shot], and [Moon Phoenix Meteor Shower]."

Evelyn commented. "Oh? They are not that many."

Cecile looked at Evelyn weirdly. "Why would I lose time in useless skills? My kit is good against powerful enemies or taking out armies. The one-against-one potential is also extremely high. Moreover, I've learned healing skills since I've tapped into the truths of being a Phoenix with an intent."

Valeria commented. "Even while mainly being a Fire-attributed creature, Phoenixes are one of the closest creatures to nature between all beasts under the heavens."

Kali smiled. "Maybe that's why I get along with you well, Cecile."

Cecile smiled thinly. "Perhaps."

Yasenia asked with a smile. "So, which healing skills did you learn?"

Cecile shook her head. "I only have two of them for now... Don't you already know them?"

Yasenia laughed. "I just wanted to ask again, sweetheart."

Cecile nodded and explained. "[Phoenix Celestial Harmony] is the first one. It is an arrow that harmonizes with the heavens and gives every person I consider an ally a part of my physical defense and regeneration skills."

"The other skill is [Lunar Yin Phoenix Fire Regeneration]. It is a self-healing skill that increases my regeneration factor at least fivefold. It synergizes well with [Phoenix Celestial Harmony]."

Yasenia pondered. "What about that other skill?"

Cecile blinked. "Do you consider that healing?"

Yasenia shrugged. "More or less?"

Cecile nodded. "I was going to go on my defensive and movements techniques now, so it doesn't matter."

Angel was curious. "Which skill is Yasenia speaking about, Cecile?"

Cecile explained. "[Moon Phoenix Resurrection]. I can ignore one attack that would kill me and instead heal all injuries while my strength is boosted."

Evelyn exclaimed. "That's sick! So, to really kill you, a person must kill you two times, the second time being harder than the first?"

Andrea sighed. "That skill is truly heaven-defying. Is it an innate skill?"

Cecile nodded flatly. "Before going deeper into innate skills. I will tell you about the others. First, [Moon Phoenix Flame dress]. The elemental coat skill's evolution. Nothing much has changed about it."

Cecile summoned it, and white flames surrounded her. When the white fire disappeared, a gorgeous and elegant white and blue dress appeared on her. The long skirt, with long sleeves made of white phoenix feathers, complemented her two large wings and three phoenix tails behind her.

Cecile twirled once, making the flowing cloth move ethereally. She blinked and smiled, looking at Yasenia. "I'm glad you like it."

Her smiling face was like the blooming of flowers after winter, vividly lighting up her usually cold and peerlessly beautiful facial features.

Evelyn tilted her head. "She didn't say-. Oh!"

Yasenia coughed, her cheeks a bit rosy. "Sorry, I became a bit mesmerized."

Andrea giggled and hugged Yasenia from behind, placing her chin on her shoulder. "So cute~."

Yasenia gave her a coquettish side-eye with a bit of reproach. "Silly darling."

Cecile continued. "My main movement skill is [Spatial Distortion]. I developed it after my previous [Blink] skill. With my new space and void understanding, I can move myself much quicker and further instantly... For example."

Angel blinked and saw Cecile disappear. 'Where is she?'

Mirrory smiled. 'Behind you, silly.'

Angel turned around and fell into the cocoon created by the Phoenix woman's hug. 'Wow~. So comfy and refreshing.'

Cecile laughed. "A shame. I couldn't take you by surprise."

Angel looked up and admitted honestly with a smile. "Mirrory warned me! I lost sight of you for a second."

Cecile bopped her nose and used [Spatial Distortion] again to return to her previous position.

Cecile added. "Besides that skill, I have [Hollow Moon steps], a movement technique; [Spatial Moon Freeze], a space and moon attributed barrier; [Astral Shift], a way to twist space and redirect attacks that are not too strong; [Moon Phoenix Sight] a dynamic vision enhancement that allows me to look very far away and feel energies around; [Moon Feather Enhancement] a speed enhancement; and [Lunar Void Flame Enhancement] allows me to surround all my attacks in my Phoenix Fire, freezing everything they touch, including space to some extent."

Andrea admired. "So many enhancing skills. Killing you must feel like a nightmare."

Tatyana agreed. "With her skill set, defeating her might be the only option unless the person fighting her is much stronger. Killing her would be almost impossible."

Cecile smiled. "I'm a mainly ranged attacker, so making myself as slippery as possible is advice I received from Clara."

Sierra commented. "Another of the personal maids?"

Cecile nodded.

Evelyn asked. "So, what are your innate skills?"

Cecile explained. "Besides those skills, my innate skills have evolved a lot. First, [Frosted Skin] became [Lunar Phoenix Body]. It increases Moon and Space affinities and further enhances my regeneration and defense. Then we have [Moon Phoenix Resurrection], as I explained before."

Cecile smiled thinly. "Next, [Chilling Ashes] became [Moonlight Ash Domain]. I'm happy with this one; it summons an ash domain that makes space unstable and applies Wind and Moon attributes. Plus, it also damages people over time if their defense is not high enough. They can breathe in this domain, after all."

Kali exclaimed. "That's dangerous!"

Cecile nodded. "Then, I have my transformation skill that changed from [Phoenix Plumage] to [Moon Phoenix's Dignity], and lastly, [Moon Phoenix Lonesome Elegance], a battle dance skill, became [Moon Phoenix's Lunar Grace]."

Evelyn laughed. "Another battle-enhancing skill?"

Cecile nodded.

Andrea sighed. "Just thinking of fighting you is making me annoyed."

Yasenia rolled her eyes and kissed the heroic face leaning on her shoulder. "You are not much better, Darling. Each time I spar against you, I end up with burns everywhere."

Andrea smiled guiltily. "Sorry, love."

Cecile asked. "What are your skills, Andrea? You've been quite busy with Body Cultivation, so we didn't spar in a while."

Andrea smiled. "Well, my skills are much more straightforward, so I'll tell them as they are. We can always fight together if you want to know them in depth."

Cecile nods.

Andrea started. "My Natural Treasure is called [Star Born Searing Flame], so I created a ranged skill called [Star Born Searing Flame Explosion]. Then, I developed a martial art called [Warring Sun Battle Art]. I have developed the first three stances. [Foundation Crumbling], [Unwavering Barrage], and [Molten Landscape]."

Cecile nodded. "That's really impressive."

Andrea smiled. "Another attack I have is [Sun Explosion], which is the skill to blow up my elemental coat. Then, [Solar domain], [Solar descent], [Sun Molten Pillar], [Sun Obliterating War Dance], and [Sun Burning Palm] are other skills with varied offensive effects."

Kali snorted. "And you were complaining about Cecile."

Andrea smiled and raised her eyebrow. "Oh, but my offensive abilities are worse than my defensive ones."

Evelyn laughed. "Say them, and don't brag."

Andrea rolled her eyes and felt Yasenia kissing her cheek. Yasenia smiled. "Bragging suits you a lot. You look very handsome~."

Andrea softly chuckled. "Well, [Obliterating Chromosphere] is the evolution of my elemental coat. [Sun Obliterating Armament] enhances all my weapons, armor, and accessories by a level and gives them the Sun attribute. Then, [Blinding Flare] is a sight-harming skill that affects the spiritual sense slightly. Next, [Searing Solar Prominence] summons molten arcs around me, [Sun Obliterating Charge] gives me a burst of speed, [Sun Chasing Steps] is my movement technique, and [Star Born Searing Mantle] creates a molten cape and aura that increases my defense many times."

Kali sighed. "Just being near you would burn fifty percent of my plants."

Andrea smiled. "Make it eighty percent because my innate skills have evolved from [Phantom Light], [Solar Skin], and [Light Absorption] to [Molten Sun], [Solar Body], and [Sun Devourer]."

Valeria commented. "A devourer skill? That one will help you massively in later stages."

Tatyana commented. "Her bloodline is called [Sun Eating Tiger], so it must be from it."

Mirrory asked. "What about intents?"

Andrea answered. "[Alloy Weaving Intent Level 1], [Battle Intent Level 1], [Perseverance Intent Level 1]."

Tatyana laughed. "Kali is right. You would be extremely annoying to finish off. Battle intent and Perseverance intent only make you stronger as the battles go on, and your insane defense is already difficult to overcome."

Andrea smiled. "That was my intention. I want to be the frontline and hold off the enemy while all of you do the damage."

Mirrory praised. "A very suitable skill set. Moreover, the continuous damage created around you is very high. Not to mention, your body cultivation technique adds to everything else, increasing your toughness further. Congratulations, child. You are at the level of the others without a doubt."

Andrea laughed happily.

Yasenia's tail wagged, seeing her darling smiling happily. 'Her hard work will reward her, I know it. After all, my darling is exceptional~.'

Yasenia walked toward Kali and hugged her. "Only you are left, honey."

Kali returned the hug and smiled. "I also have a lot of skills depending on the injury, so I will speak about general skills."

Valeria commented. "No need to explain them much; do as Andrea has done. You have plenty of time to spar between each other before the secret realm opens."

Kali nodded and explained. "Well, my skills are [Fox Root Entanglement], [Ironbark Treant summoning], [Verdant Dryad Superior Summoning], [Life Sucking Man-Eating Plant Summoning], [Fatal Parasitic Thorn Field], [Nature's Embrace], [Living Forest], [Ironbark Tree Slicer], [Spirit Severing Sword], and [Nature Spirit Sword Strike]."

Evelyn asked, unsure. "I understand most of them, but Living Forest and Nature's Embrace, what do they do?"

Kali smiled. "Nature's embrace summons massive roots to entangle something and also slap it around. Living Forest is very straightforward. I make the forest around me come to life and attack everything I consider an enemy."

Cecile muttered. "One woman army."

Angel nodded in agreement.

Kali smiled and continued softly. "Then, I have [Three-Tailed Nature Fox Aura], my elemental coat evolution. It's really strong, boosting my life influence, defensive, and offensive power, among others."

Yasenia kissed her forehead and commented. "What more?"

Kali snuggled between her arms and answered. "Well, I have my movement technique, [Flower Blooming Steps]. A defensive skill, [Living Nature Wall]. A boosting domain-like skill, [Fox Flower Land]. A healing aura, [Healing Life Aura]. A strengthening technique, [Fox Essence Boost]. There is also an army boosting skill, [Whispering Blossom Essence Dance], which boosts my plant creatures by summoning life and nature spirits."

Angel blinked and asked, curious. "You can summon spirits?"

Kali nodded. "Lesser ones, though. I'm still learning. Here."

She gathered energy, and a green puffy thing appeared floating about. Angel approached and poked it, making it bounce in the air. Angel giggled. "So cute."

Kali smiled. "Besides these skills, there are my [Life enhancement] skills, which are called [Life enhancement: Parasite Wood], [Life enhancement: Vitality], and [Life enhancement: Verdant Core. Finally, [Spirit Overgrowth: Berserk to one plant]."

Evelyn asked. "What about the Intents and innate skills?"

Kali answered. "My Intents are [Life Intent Level 1], [Growth Intent Level 1], and [Evolution Intent Level 1]. Then, my innate skills related to my tails are named almost the same, but stronger."

Ebirah, who had been silent, asked. "What are the names?"

Kali listed them. "[Nature Fox First Tail: Nascent Life], [Nature Fox Second Tail: Blooming Life], and [Nature Fox Third Tail: Developing Life]. Then, my [Myriad Blooming Flowers] domain skill changed to [Flower World Domain]. My transformation skill is called [Life Origin's Three-Tailed Fox]. Lastly, the skill to summon Valeria has become strange..."

Andrea lifted an eyebrow. "Strange?"

Kali nodded. "Yes, it is called [Draconic Fox Flower Queen]."

Mirrory was surprised. "Ho?"

Valeria blinked and commented. "Even my bloodline has become [Nature Fox Dragon Spirit Queen]."

Tatyana commented, unsure. "Maybe... After Yasenia had intercourse with her, she transformed?"

Yasenia was a bit stunned and pointed at herself. "Me?"

Kali rolled her eyes. "What other dragon is there that can make an effect like this one?"

Yasenia coughed. "Well, right."

Valeria looked at Tatyana and smirked. "Maybe I can evolve further if I have sex with Yasenia~."

Tatyana lifted her eyebrow. "No need to jump to conclusions."

Valeria pouted. The image of the voluptuous three-meter-tall green lady pouting was quite lethal.

Thankfully, all girls present were accustomed to Yasenia's involuntary displays of sexiness. So, they were immune.

You can imagine waking up, going downstairs the first hour in the morning, and seeing Yasenia skimpily dressed, with a breast almost out of the semi-transparent black nightgown and a lazy face reading a book or something while lying sideways on the couch.

The image was very stimulating. And although getting used to it was impossible, they could develop some resistance. If not, they would all jump on the seductive dragoness every morning.

Yasenia sighed. "You all have grown so much, dears. I'm very proud."

Kali, who was between Yasenia's arms, tip-toed and kissed her chin. "Not more than you, Love."

Yasenia smiled. "You will all catch up to me and overcome me! My dears are the best, after all!"

The girls laughed, and they all returned inside. While demonstrating and showing off a few of the skills, night had arrived before they knew it.

*************************

Author: FINISHED!

The girls: Clap, clap, clap.

Author: Ugh, my head hurts. I hope the chapters didn't feel too heavy. I've done my best to add fun interaction in between.

Tatyana: Well, you've done your best. Next, the equipment!

Author: ... No. I refuse. This will come much later!

Yasenia: Hahaha, well, we will improve our equipment during the one and a half years left, so it's normal not to speak about them now.

Author: Right. Anyway, I summon you!

WPOmega: Hello, again!

Kali: Hello!

WPOmega: Well, my question is for Tatyana.

Tatyana: Shoot!

WPOmega: Back in chapter 66, you ran into an old beggar selling powerful items on the roadside, except the items required Qi, mana, or a physical dantian to function. Were all of those items genuinely useless for anything in your world, or were you just preventing Yasenia from getting pulled into the fate of seniors from other worlds needlessly?

Tatyana: Well... Both. That Old Beggar is just a passerby in our story, but he might be a significant factor in another. Just an influential person doing whatever they want and trying not to be bored.

WPOmega: I see. I thought it would be like a super important person later.

Tatyana: Well, that's not in my power.

Author: *Shrugs* Who knows?

Author: Anyway, this is all for today! Thanks for reading, little lurker~.
