Chapter 83: Chapter 83. Yasenia's limits, Cecile's despair.

Assuming he was someone important, Yasenia changed her direction toward the voice. She left the leafy forest, and what greeted her was a clearing. There were 15 cultivators where she was running, and on each side, there were another 10.

Nonetheless, this small army didn't deter our dragoness; on the contrary, the battle-crazed dragoness smiled excitedly.

Her golden draconic eyes focused on the man that seemed to be giving orders and charged toward him! The leader shouted, "NOW!"

All the cultivators attacked simultaneously, and a myriad of attacks went her way. Yasenia smiled, and her charming lips opened "[Full Moon]."

Using 10% of her energy, she stabbed the sword down, piercing it on the ground. A silver dome grew exponentially fast from the stabbing point, meeting with the incoming attacks.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

The attacks landed on the shield, making it wobble dangerously and almost destroying it; however, it fended them all! This was the reason that she was using [Crescent Moon] against the cat-kin.

Besides the powerful ranged attacks that [Crescent Moon] offered, Yasenia used it to accumulate energy and release a powerful [Full Moon] when she arrived at the ambush location. It worked perfectly.

Now that Yasenia set the battlefield, she unruffled her domain with a circular swing of her sword! "[Moonless night]"

Before they released the second wave of attacks, Yasenia charged towards the side with most cultivators and where the leader was. Ten of the 15 lunged toward her, armed with different melee weapons. The strongest was a level six cultivator.

Yasenia used the same tactic that she used with the cat-kin, and while approaching, she spun around once, using her sword and tail to release [Crescent Moon].

In turn, the cultivators tried to block them head-on. Bad choice!

On this night with a crescent Moon, her skill was a lot stronger than normal. The first crescent impacted, and some weren't strong enough to block! They were either sent flying, grievously wounded, or directly killed. Only the first crescent put five people out of combat!

The next crescent arrived faster than they expected since she launched it with her tail. This attack took by surprise two of them and killed them! The other three managed to dodge and continue their charge.

Yasenia didn't want to clash with them since she wanted to avoid what had happened before.

The cultivators from the sides and others that appeared on her back were approaching her while she charged forward. If she clashed, she would be surrounded and killed easily.

'Kill the general, then attack the disordered troops!'

Yasenia thus made a faint call pointing her sword forward without stopping running. "Sun charge!"

The cultivators in front stopped and readied their defense, only to see Yasenia jumping above their head and continuing to run towards the leader! They hastily turned and followed after her.

Yasenia looked towards the calm level nine cultivator. 'Even if I hurt myself... Kill him! Only then will I have a chance!'

For the next seconds, time slowed down! Yasenia's pupils thinned into lines, and her irises became completely silver. She pointed her sword forward as her leg muscles inflated, and she stomped hard, "[Lingering star step], [Moon charge], [Celestial coat]."

The floor sunk under her leg strength, and she catapulted herself forward like a sliver meteor extremely close to the ground!

With his more advanced mental prowess, the ninth-level cultivator started dodging the fast charge to the right without becoming nervous. He sneered on the inside, 'You won't hit me with something like that.'

However, Yasenia wasn't done yet! When she was 100 meters away, she stomped the ground again and used her tail to change direction. Her leg and tail muscles ripped, trying to abruptly change the direction of her monstrous charge as her meridians pumped energy crazily. Blood splashed from her legs as the stars around Yasenia started rotating around the sword that shone with silver radiance! "[LUNAR STAR CHARGE]"

*BOOOOM!*

The ground beneath Yasenia directly exploded as Yasenia blasted forward, becoming a silvery-white beam of pure destruction!

With his vision, the ninth-level cultivator saw Yasenia go from a fast-running speed to becoming a blur. He hastily used his life-saving technique, "[Nature's protection]!"

It was a technique that could block one attack, no matter the strength. The limitation was that if the opponent were five levels or above, it wouldn't be able to stop it easily.

The roots covered him in an instant, making a cocoon. Since Yasenia couldn't control herself, she couldn't react to that instantaneous defense! The sword tip crashed against the wooden cocoon.

*BOOOM!*

The result of this catastrophic clash was that the sword rebounded! Yasenia felt her entire arms fracturing because of this rebound and the friction of her grip skinning her hands.

The counterforce transferred to her body, and she flew backward at excessive speed! Her organs were tumbling, and her body was screaming in pain. You would expect desperation to appear on her face, right? Wrong! Yasenia was smiling crazily!

When her sword collided, the cocoon ripped open a big hole on its surface. The [Lunar Star charge] had the qualities of both together and amplified. Therefore, the 200+ rotating stars around her sword entered through the hole, following their momentum! While Yasenia flew away, the cocoon shone with a blinding white light, followed by a deafening explosion.

*BOOOM!*

On the other side, Yasenia had such impetus that she crushed three thick trees while she rolled and bounced on the ground before stopping. Even if her body hurt terribly, she focused on her points. While looking at them, she saw them increasing!

Defeating such a strong opponent in one hit made a crazy delight invade her body, "HAHAHAHA! *Bleurgh* Hahahaha!"

Even when she vomited blood, she couldn't stop this exhilaration she was feeling! Moreover, she has managed to combine two charges into one, and better yet, if it weren't because of that annoyingly powerful cocoon, she would have only been injured in the legs and tail because of the terrible burden they had to support.

Everyone stopped moving for a moment and looked flabbergasted at the destruction caused by Yasenia's attack.

She left a one-meter-deep hole at her starting point, and then there was a semicircular trail with freezing temperatures on its surface connected to another crater. This crater, however, was three meters deep! Another deeper semicircular path began from this one, wider and deeper, linked with the point where a devastating view could be seen.

They could see a cocoon that was forcefully ripped open from the inside and, below it, a six-meter-deep crater on the crashing point. There were body parts scattered over the area, confirming that their leader was killed by a cultivator almost a whole realm below him.

One awoke faster than the others and shouted, "With her level, It isn't possible to release an attack like this and not get severely injured! Let's go fast after her and kill her." The group reacted fast and moved toward the direction in which Yasenia flew.

Not to mention the ones inside, outside the formation, the people were freaking out! Especially the teachers!

"My heavens! What was that attack!? Isn't that dragon girl a second realm half-step level junior!"

"That attack was already inside the half-step Mental Nourishing realm...."

"Truly, there isn't a single person in the dragon race that is normal; they are all completely Heaven-defying!"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Although the dragon race is indeed strong, they can't make an attack more than a realm of strength above them! She is monster class even inside the dragon race! Completely abnormal!"

Tatyana had a face-splitting smile, the proudness and satisfaction she felt from the praises of the senior cultivators to her daughter couldn't make her happier! 'That's right, that's right! Whose daughter is the best? Mine, of course. Praise her more! Hahaha'

When Tatyana saw her daughter killing a cultivator, almost one whole realm above her made her feel happier than if she did it herself. She was so delighted that she started humming a song... The people that listened got chills on their backs, and they didn't know why! 'Why do I feel like I'm going to die when the tune is quite good!?'

However, Tatyana's smile disappeared shortly after, and her red eyes looked unblinkingly at the image showing Yasenia struggling to stand up. 'I have to prepare myself. With her current condition, surviving would be miraculous, to say the least; it seems that I'm going to see her dying. I have to control my bloodlust and remember where I am....'

Meanwhile, Yasenia, as Tatyana observed, was trying to stand up. However, after her body absorbed the counterforce of her crazy charge, her leg bones and arm bones were fractured and splintered in some places!

Just trying to move made her body scream in agony! She moved one leg, but burning painful waves invaded her brain, making her let out a short scream. Using her arms to grab the sword wasn't any better, as it was quite heavy. Worse, inside the formation, there weren't pills or anything like that to heal herself faster, "Come on, Yasenia, Stand... up...! ROAAAR!"

Yasenia roared in pain and defiance of letting herself wait for her doom! Yasenia managed to stand up, covered in her blood, but grabbing her giant sword tightly and with a straight back. Her [Celestial coat] was trying to heal her the fastest possible, consuming a lot of energy.

Yasenia checked herself, and she felt that she had 30~40% energy left after that series of events, diminishing rapidly.

Yasenia walked toward the city, 'I just have to walk, reach the city, and enter the springs! Isn't it easy, Yasenia? You can do it!'

She used her tail in the barbed spear form as a third leg. After two minutes, she could now walk while gritting her teeth without her tail. 'Thankfully, I was blown away quite-'

Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her, and Yasenia's face grimaced. She chuckled lowly, stopped walking, and turned toward the approaching foes. Yasenia spoke to herself, "You won't be able to run with this body. How about making one last stand?"

While her body screamed, she lifted [Draconic Heart] horizontally. The giant sword almost fell from her hands because of the pain she was feeling from holding this enormous weight with her fractured arms.

Meanwhile, Cecile couldn't help but have a bad premonition and sped up ahead on her own, leaving her group behind. 'My love, please resist until I reach.'

Yasenia looked at the sky and smiled gently at the crescent moon; her voice was peaceful as she chanted her skills.

"[Wanning Moon]."

Her sword became covered in silver radiance, adding chilling energy to her attacks.

"[Starry sky]."

White lights started gathering around her.

"[Moonless Night]."

Pivoting in one leg, she did a full circle around her with the sword and splashed blood on the grass around her. As her silvery domain unfurled, she turned towards the 27 approaching cultivators and continued with her gentle tone.

"[Celestial coat]."

The coat became stronger, maintaining her bones in place. Then, she took one step forwards, and while her nerves shrieked in pain, she did a horizontal slash.

"[Crescent Moon]."

The 150 m wide crescent shot speedily and clashed with the distant cultivators. Even in her state, the attack hit heavily, freezing two of the weaker ones to death. She aimed at another group of cultivators, and her voice continued chanting with the same soft tone, "[Crescent Moon]."

She swung her sword, making blood spill, hers and her enemies. The crescent hit as hard as the previous one, killing another one.

"[Shooting star]."

She aimed at an injured cultivator, killing them on the spot.

The fastest lightning and light cultivator closed on Yasenia. Yasenia prepared as the lightning cultivator attacked Yasenia with a spear. She used her sword as a shield,

*Clang.*

Her body screamed in pain, but her mind commanded her body to use the momentum and dodge the light cultivator sword. While she was dodging, she moved her spear tail swiftly and managed to pierce the head of the light cultivator she had just evaded.

Another three cultivators arrived. She moved her body and did a horizontal strike.

"[Crescent Moon]" *Bang!*

The crescent hit those three cultivators at point-blank, and they perished. She blocked the lightning cultivator spear again, sliding backward.

"[Crescent Moon]."

Her tail transformed into a sword as she slashed behind her, decapitating the darkness cultivator trying to sneak up on her.

Then she moved to the right, avoiding a sword aimed at her shoulder. She turned her head, dodging an arrow, and let herself fall to the left, avoiding another incoming sword.

Yasenia started doing a death dance. She dodged, parried, and used their attacks to move and drag her body around the battlefield. Her sword blocked the attacks, and her tail attacked her enemies. After two excruciating minutes, her body had gained new wounds, and her energy was diminishing rapidly. Of the 27 cultivators, 16 remained.

However, *SLASH!* One cultivator managed to cut Yasenia's left arm off!

A little earlier, Cecile was running full speed towards Yasenia's direction, following their connection. She was so worried that she didn't even realize that she had left her teammates behind. Moreover, the stress of possibly losing Yasenia have made her forget that they were inside the formation.

Cecile used one of her skills, [Spatial vision], enhancing her vision as it extended a lot forward, even seeing through nearby objects.

She saw a battered Yasenia with a fatigued expression while doing a death dance, fighting against a group of cultivators.

Cecile's heart hurt with each beat as she accelerated even more, 'Come on, Cecile! You are close! Do not lose someone important to you again!'

When there were only ten kilometers left between them, she saw Yasenia's arm cut off. A scream escaped her throat "YASENIA!"

Yasenia only had 5% of her energy left when the cultivator cut her arm off. She was about to continue fighting when she suddenly felt someone calling her. She dodged another incoming attack and looked in that direction. Seeing Cecile come, she smiled gently.

However, she saw Cecile's face take a horrified expression, followed by a pain in her back and the appalling sound of bones breaking.

*CRRACK!*

Yasenia's chest bones broke open, and the lightning cultivator's spear that impaled her appeared in her vision.

Yasenia spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Cecile, this time with a forlorn smile. Cecile watched in horror how a hammer hit Yasenia's face from the side, exploding it into fleshy bits, killing Yasenia on the spot.
