267 True Spirit Body
"Here is my plan, Leoz and Anna will go rampage from behind as soon as both of you kill the Martial Lord. Fabio and Vera will go from their right flank. Jeanne and Greg will go from their left flank. I will approach them from the front."
"Alex, that is dangerous. Are you telling us to make you a bait?" Anna imdiately snapped.
Leoz and the others also wanted to say their pieces, but Alex stopped them. He said with a smile to calm them down, "I'm with Sherry and Kyle. And I can manipulate the array that I have placed. So, charging at is the worst thing they could do at that mont.
"I want this battle finished as soon as possible because this battle will attract the other two groups. We will reduce their number with the previous strategy. After reducing their number, I will lead them to all of you."
"Alex, this ti, I won't budge. The previous strategy succeeded because they didn't have Martial Lords. But now they have! At least bring so I can fend off the Martial Lords when they catch up with you." Anna glared at him.
"..." Looking at her expression, Alex sighed and said, "Leoz will co with . You will lead the others to a designated area. Alright, that's it. We don't have ti anymore. We are moving!"
Alex imdiately ran away. Anna wanted to complain because he chose to bring Leoz, not her, but she knew they didn't have ti for that. She could only accept it. At least, Alex brought Leoz with him.
They moved toward the farthest group. At least, it would bring them a bit more ti before the other groups caught up. All of them moved silently as Alex used his Space Door to move closer.
Anna and Leoz followed him to make a surprise attack. They looked at the Martial Lord that was examining the corpses before lifting them up. When he noticed there were arrays in that place, Alex imdiately activated it.
"Not good!" The Martial Lord rose from his position, but only to see he and his troops had been surrounded by an array.
"What is this?"
"There is also one beside you."
The soldiers started panicking. The 3-Star Martial Lord shouted, "Don't panic. Imdiately leave this place and ready for ba-!"
Suddenly he was restricted by nurous white whips that rose from the array. He imdiately struggled with all of his might. Luckily, the array was only a rank 3 array. He could break free pretty easily. But it was too late for him.
"Dark Curtain." Anna didn't make a dark sphere to trap the Martial Lord inside. She made a dark plate this ti. It was more befitting to her skill's na, 'Dark Curtain.' The plate was just above the wood and covered the moonlight, just like a curtain.
The light didn't co toward them as their vision imdiately filled with darkness. But because of their surroundings, they didn't lose their vision completely, as they could see their surroundings, albeit barely.
The Martial Lord imdiately broke free from his restraint, but it was too late. Alex's arrow, Leoz, had arrived to take his life. Leoz had been moving at high speed and locked him down after Anna used her Dark Curtain.
When Leoz arrived in front of him, he was finally able to see Leoz's figure.
"You!"
"Thunder Cut." Leoz swung his big sword that had been covered by thunder to cut his head, thus killing him.
"Enemy!"
"They killed our general!"
"What? the enemies are Martial Lords?"
"We are screwed!"
"Don't panic, we have our numbers. As long as we preserve, the other groups will help us!"
"Fight!"
The soldiers were in disarray. Leoz and Anna imdiately moved toward their back while the other spirits also moved to their designated spot.
...
In the right flank, Fabio and Vera crossed their swords and made the first move.
"Twin Elents Slash!"
"Gah!"
"Argh!"
"Enemies!"
"There are only two of them."
They killed a dozen soldiers with a single skill. Looking at the soldiers, Fabio went in front of Vera.
"I will go, you will cover . It's not like I hate to see you hurt, alright. I just need to do my duty as a husband," he said.
"Hmph, it's not like I'm moved just because of that, I just don't want to hurt your self-esteem as a man, Vera said.
They looked at each other and smiled. Fabio then covered his body with fla as he looked at the soldiers nacingly. He then disappeared from his spot to confront nurous soldiers.
...
In the left flank, it was also the sa.
"I will leave my movent to you, Greg! If it fails, I will punish you!" Jeanne said cheekily.
"Don't worry. I am not planning to get that torture." Greg shrugged his shoulder.
"It is not a torture, how many tis I should say this, it is playing!"
"You are the only one who is thinking like that. Anyway, we should do our job." Greg didn't talk much, so he stopped her and focused on the enemy.
"Hmph, I know! If not because I'm too weak, right now. I can kill all of them easily."
"Ethereal Thunder Body!" Lightning started covering her body before her body beca the lightning itself.
She suddenly appeared in front of the enemy's face.
"A kid?" When they saw her figure, they couldn't help but drop their jaw.
Jeanne grinned as her two short swords slashed a soldier's body to four. But she didn't stop there, she channeled the lightning to the ground. Her attack was like Charya's.
The lightning that channeled to the ground moved toward the enemy to spark them and immobilize them. If not because her strength was too low, they might die from that spark.
"Don't be fooled by her appearance. She is a Martial Grandmaster! Attack!"
"Attack!"
The enemy started surrounding her. But that was exactly her plan.
"tal Ground!"
Greg also followed her with his own skills. His armor turned into green as he made a thin layer of tal above ground. This layer of tal connected Jeanne with the soldiers.
She grinned as she pierced the tal with her two swords. "Ethereal Lightning Body, First Charge. Spark!"
The tal was conducting the electricity from Jeanne to the soldiers. But, the electricity was also supposed to go to Greg since he connected with the tal.
Greg's armor changed its color again. It was turning into silver. When Jeanne's attack ca to him, he was unhard. It seed the silver tal didn't have that much conductivity.
"Argh!"
"Gh!"
It was different for the soldiers. They didn't have anything like that. For Martial Masters, most of them were roasted by electricity. For Martial Grandmasters, so of them were killed, so of them were immobilized, but there were so that managed to block the attack.
It was especially true for high ranking Martial Grandmasters.
"You B*stard!"
"Attack!"
The remaining soldiers imdiately let out a cry to attack Jeanne. But she moved around them with lightning speed and killed them one by one. Greg also helped her with that.
"Why didn't you fight like this yesterday?" Looking at her rampage, Greg shook his head and asked.
"You alone should know why I decided to use this technique. I can only maintain this for a day. After that, I can't use this technique again for a week.
"Our Master wants to be the bait but, I'm sure none of us will let him do that, including you. We didn't say anything back then because we know he will object to it. But, this is us, we follow him to be his sword and shield. If we can't even do our job well. How can we face him?" Jeanne said while killing the soldiers.
Even Greg smiled behind his armor as she was indeed right.
...
On the back where Leoz and Anna headed, the soldiers were confused by their sudden appearance. Even more so with the sudden appearance of butterflies.
The butterflies were black colored with blue circles in their wing. They were perfect to be night butterflies. The butterflies flew toward soldiers, and the soldiers were confused by that.
Leoz looked at Anna, who was the controller of the butterflies. "Anna, are you sure you are using this?"
"Yeah. I need to finish the battle as soon as possible. Why are you not using your true power too? If you use your True Spirit Body, you should be able to kill the entire two thousand easily."
"Nah, I felt Jeanne also activated her True Spirit Body, Ethereal Lightning Body, as we have the sa elent. And according to the situation, between that Tsun-Tsun couple, one of them should also use it.
"Although we didn't voice our concern. We are really worried about him. And you know about the condition for using our True Spirit Body. The ti limit is one day, and you can only use it one day per week.
"According to Nelson, the number is far beyond this. If I use it now, I am afraid I can't do anything if sothing happened later. That's why I never use it before because the future is scary. After all, I don't know them.
"I'm surprised to see you use it here. Are you sure you can show yourself to him after using your True Spirit Body?"
Anna only glanced at him like she heard the most foolish question.
"Oh, scary. Well, the way Young Master now, he will only say you are beautiful." Leoz shrugged.
"I am afraid that Alex will hate if I show my wings in our first eting, and I couldn't throw that doubt away, thinking that he might only love humans as in this life he is also a human. But now, I am also his woman. I can't let him bear the burden alone. That's why I don't mind if he sees him in this form. After all, I am a Dark Butterfly Spirit."
Anna flew above the woods while raising her scythe upward. A mont later, a pair of black butterfly wings appeared. The wings were beautiful. The wings were black, with two circle patterns of yellow and blue as butterfly wings should be.
She soared to the sky freely. With her wings wide open, she didn't look ugly at all. In fact, all of it only enhanced her aura and beauty. She let go of her veil and looked down on the soldiers.
"What is that?"
"Look, that woman. Who is she?"
The soldiers were captivated by her looks as they looked at her dumbfoundedly.
"True Spirit Body. Dark Butterfly."
Anna looked at her controlled butterflies from earlier and let them stuck on the soldiers. She raised her hand,
"Dark Butterfly, First Order. Marionettes!"
The butterfly suddenly exploded. Surprisingly, it didn't do any damage to the soldiers. But if one saw it, they would notice the part where the butterfly exploded was dyed black.
It was Anna's attack. She corroded their spiritual energy and attacked their mind. One of the reasons Anna didn't use it until now was because it didn't have any effect on monsters as they moved using their instinct even if she attacked their mind, including the high intelligence monster.
But it was different for humans. If the humans moved with their instinct, they might only move with their instinct to mate.
Because of that, Anna could easily attack the Human's mind and control them.
The soldiers killed themself in Anna's control. Leoz only shook his head helplessly. As he knew because of their difference of strength, Anna could easily control them.
"Foolish Human. If you didn't take sothing that corrodes your energy, even I might not be able to corrode all of you. But, that energy is intriguing. I felt the presence of hundreds of humans inside of that energy.
"Don't tell the ingredients for that is human's blood?" Anna suddenly realized sothing off.
