Chapter 701 Congregation of the Divine Senses! Part 8
By killing the irritating Beatrice, Alina’s mood obviously had improved, and the fact that she had obtained Beatrice’s corpse seed to have made her even more happier.
This could be related to the words that she just said, although Alina herself did not explain what she ant by obtaining the Omniscient Skin.
Alina just kept her expression neutral as she employed a tighter hold on the body.
"Oi, you two. I already helped you out with the Talisman of Deprivation already. Since your enemies are already bound, you should be able to win this ti." While still hugging Beatrice’s corpse, Alina said these words imploringly to both Professor Frances and Queen Mother, who seed to be at loss on what to do this ti.
"...."
"...."
"Hey, what are you being silent for? Co on, just do your moves already!"
Even though Alina had succeeded on restraining their enemies, the professor and the tree woman seed to be surprised with the skill that Alina used, to the point that they montarily stopped attacking.
And this reaction got more pronounced when these two won saw Alina’s action with Beatrice’s corpse.
"Seriously, don’t give those looks. Now is not the ti for that..."
To say that these two won were shocked was an understatent, as nothing about their reaction can be considered to be mild.
Even when their opponents were currently restrained, both Queen Mother and Professor Frances did not attack as they just stared at Alina, with their faces full of questions ant for Alina alone.
Both won looked unsure on why Alina is acting this way, and they don’t appear to be interested on moving until they received an explanation from Alina herself....
"Co on, don’t just stare at like a madman. Sure, I might look crazy hugging this corpse, but you can judge later. For now, finish your opponents before the effect of my talisman ends!"
Alina was of course unhappy with the reaction of these two won, as she had expected these two to have already defeated their assigned foes.
Why would these two won even be doubting of Alina right now? They should have defeated their enemies first before they can start getting distracted by other stuff!
"If you don’t attack that robot and that fairy, they will get free in a matter of seconds. Once that happens, you two will just have difficulties winning again. So don’t stare at for now! Just do your tasks!"
"..."
"...."
Fortunately for Alina, after a few more sentences of admonishnt against them, the two won had finally listened to her.

"Tsk, thanks for the help, Alina. But I really do not need your help actually. I am halfway through deciphering the life signals from inside this robot’s body... Just a little more and I can kill him permanently." The disgruntled Professor Frances said these words unwillingly to Alina, as if she was blaming Alina for helping her.
This insult was obviously not sincere, as inside the professor’s eyes, true gratitude towards Alina could be seen.
"But I am still grateful that you restrained this robot, Alina. If it were not for that, my newly created Soul Arrow will have a hard ti hitting it... But really, I do not need your help at all."
The professor seed to just be shy on thanking Alina, with her resorting to both complaining and praising Alina’s actions.
"Seriously Alina, you did not have to use this talisman of yours to help . I was able to create an attack that can kill this robot after you used the talisman, which ant that I could have killed this robot without you actually restraining it..."
With her voice sounding both relived and peeved at the sa ti, the confused Professor Frances shook her head sadly as she gave Alina another disgruntled stare.
"Sigh, if you just waited for a few more seconds, you could actually have seen prevailing against this robot....."
"Well, what’s done is done now, so I just had to make do with what I have...."
"...."
"...."
Professor Frances could have continued complaining this ti, but with Alina’s bloody image and the fights around her, the professor had no choice but to get back into action.
"Tsk, I hope that one Soul Arrow is enough to kill this robot. Because if it needs two, then I might need so serious recalculations regarding my powers...."
"Slick!" With a grace comparable to that of a gunman, Professor Frances fired a Soul Arrow straight towards the robot, releasing large ripples of soul energy that stirred the whole place.
"Swoosh!"
This Soul Arrow sliced through the air like it was nothing, creating whistling sounds that sounded more like the wail of death as it got nearer and nearer to the fearful robot.
This arrow seed to have the ability to pierce through anything, a quality that it displayed as it had reached the robot’s head.
"Slick!" Upon seeing the arriving Soul Arrow, the robot of course tried to stop it, but just like Alina’s move against the already dead Beatrice, this attack was nigh unblockable.
"Thud." Without any suspense or surprise, the Soul Arrow easily buried itself on the robot’s head, with almost half of its length now inside the robot’s seemingly dense skull. The tip of the Soul Arrow even protruded on the robot’s back, showcasing the power that is packed in this attack alone.
"Whirr..."
Once the Soul Arrow had landed on its mark, the glowing eyes from the robot suddenly dimd, with its body quickly turning as limp as a vegetable. All the glowing apparatuses currently attached on the robot had also ’died’ along with his eyes, making the robot look nothing more like a hunk of junk.
The Machinery Army behind the robot seed to have t its end too, as they all disassembled into thousands of pieces after the professor’s attack.
"....."
"..."
_____________________
Even without using her power, Alina could see that the robot was already dead. Professor Frances killed it without any hesitation or tricks, and she just used her most straightforward attack to end its life.
Such decisiveness was to be expected from the professor already, but seeing it with her very own eyes was still enough to satisfy Alina.
"Good. At least Professor Frances is still the sa old her. She’s still vicious to her enemies, and she still had no qualms on playing for her advantage. I like that she had retained these qualities, and I wish that she will stay like this on the future..." Alina said these words with delight as she gave the professor a pleased nod, making it seem as if she was genuinely satisfied with what she saw.
This satisfaction was of course rited, since it was obvious that Professor Frances had created a new ability in order to kill the robot.
Such ingenuity is good for the team that Alina was in, and she hopes to see more of this in the future.
"Speaking of ingenuity, there’s soone here who did not get that point..."
But while Alina was happy with Professor Frances’s results, her feelings for Queen Mother was the opposite.
Instead of being satisfied with the tree woman, Alina felt disappointnt and confusion in regards to Queen Mother, as what the latter did right now had just confounded Alina more.
Sure, Queen Mother had also attacked her opponent, who was defenseless at this ti.
But instead of using any special attacks or abilities, Queen Mother just used her whips once more.
No powers, no vitals spells, or special abilities.
Queen Mother just whipped and whipped her fairy opponent, until the latter turned into minceat.
That’s just it. All whip, no other skills.
"Sothing is really wrong with Queen Mother. If it were her before, she could have used her nature-related or strength-related skills to kill this fairy. She would never resort to whipping a creature to death, as Queen Mother is soone who respects life."
"If Queen Mother were to kill soone, she will kill it in a way that will make the death of that opponent worth rembering."
"Killing an opponent through whipping is not a good way to kill soone, so Queen Mother should have not done it."
"But she did it right in front of my eyes, and she did not even seem fazed by it!"
"Ugh... this is just wrong. This is not how Queen Mother should be!"
Alina was full of uncertainty in regards to how she should deal with Queen Mother, but since the latter did not do anything drastic yet at this point, Alina had decided to deal with the tree woman’s matter later.
Well, even if Alina wanted to talk to Queen Mother now, she has no ti to do it since their problems for today are still not done.
The three opponents that they fought might have been dead already, but there are still more opponents for them to face.
There are the Travelers who are few seconds away from escaping from the Event Loop, and there’s still Alex who’s bound to co to this place any second now.
"Hmm... so after those Companions, the next ones that I need to face are the Travelers. Sigh, this is bound to be hard, but fortunately I prepared for this...."
"Now, my chance to win will depend on how well the Church of Wisdom exerts its will here. Will they be willing to release so of their Divine Artifacts just to fight these Travelers? Or are they willing to just see , their Divine Maiden, risk her life against these enemies?"
With the matter of her allies placed on the back of her mind, Alina adjusted the target of her focus.
Now, she had already forgotten about her forr enemies as she focused on her new ones.
"Hmph, it is hard to know what the Church of Wisdom will do, but given my status, they might try to assist ."
"And they better do that, as that is what they should do for soone like ."
After staring at the trapped and injured Travelers for a second, Alina let out a sigh before she gave a discreet look to the mbers the Church of Wisdom that are here in this venue.
All of them were also trapped by the event loop, but they all observed Alina’s battle in a calculated way, as if they were asuring her worth.
They seem to not be worried about what is happening to them, as they seem to treat Alina’s fighting ability with more importance.
"....." This naturally irritated Alina, as she realized that even though she was the Divine Maiden of the Church of Wisdom, these old fogeys were still testing her, even up to this ti!
Such stubbornness from these people made Alina sigh, but given her current state, she really can’t afford to be angry with them.
"Hehehe, they may not want to help before, but now that I easily killed these three Companions, so of these Elder Priests will surely try helping . Now it’s just a matter of who and how many..."
"Well, even if they don’t help , it won’t be a problem as I now have another variable that will allow to win..."
The situation about these priests observing her had fouled Alina’s mood once more, but it was not enough to make her fully unhappy of herself.
In fact, in ALina’s opinion, there is no way that she will feel unhappy right now, as she had just obtained a great treasure unlike any other.
This treasure of course pertains to the Omniscient Skin, the Divine Sensory Organ that Alina had been coveting ever since she saw it.
