Raya, Myst, and the rest of the Regis Elite almost popped their eyes out at As's display of strength.
It was not as if they had never witnessed an overwhelming strength that could reduce soone to nothing before because when they underwent training in the Tower of Tribulations, they were among those who survived plenty of near-death experiences, which involved getting caught up in a battle between Sovereigns, or a Sovereign going on a rampage and massacring a city in one of the unclaid planes.
Still and all, there was a huge difference between those Sovereigns' display of strength from As. One was the target of their display.
As did not simply kill a Sovereign of the Lower Realm but from the Higher Realm. Raya, Myst, and the rest of the Regis Elite also sensed that the mage she killed just now was far stronger than a Sovereign. The Higher Realm was still unknown to them, but one thing they were sure of was all of its inhabitants were definitely superior.
If this was the case, just how powerful was Lady As?
On another note, Raya, Myst, and the rest were worried about what the mage said about the situation in the Dragon plane. They were told that the being after their young master was a big shot in the Higher Realm. That being also managed to connect their young master's relationship with the Dragon Clan.
From this, it was not hard for Raya, Myst, and the rest to conclude that that being had ordered the siege against the Dragon Clan to ensure they could not send soone to protect their young master.
Fortunately, Lady As was already in the Lower Realm before that happened. Unfortunately, the being's appearance had been so sudden that she failed to stop their young master from encountering the forr. If she did, their young master would not be on the run.
The Emperor's Elite Mages were stunned at As's move. They did not expect her to kill one of them when they barely arrived. If the mage who killed their fellow mage were from another clan, they would not have stayed frozen in place and already attacked. Unfortunately, they were before the daughter of the Dragon Emperor.
They were already aware of her presence in the Lower Realm and made preparations to deal with her. None dared underestimate her, which was why several of The Emperor's high-ranked elite mages had gathered to detain her.
Apparently, their supposed number advantage was useless against As because she could easily dispatch any of them with a re glance.
That was right.
As simply looked at the mage beside the one she killed for speaking in such a condescending manner.
"Coward," As growled when the mage beside the one she killed did not respond to her provocation.
"It seems like the Dragon Clan has truly gone against His Majesty for you to attack one of His Majesty's Elite Mages blatantly."
The voice ca from a new distortion that appeared several ters above them. Soon after, a golden throne erged from the distortion, where a woman clad in golden armor with blade-like wings made of diamond hovering a few centiters on her back.
The woman had a youthful face, which seed to be carved from jade, with eyes that looked as if they were made of rcury. She was beautiful in a warrior-like way. Nonetheless, there was nothing beautiful in the way she scanned rcurial eyes at As and her people.
"Lady Raelia!"
The Emperor's Elite Mages let out a sigh of relief at the woman, Raelia's arrival.
Truth be told, the order the Elite Mages received from The Emperor was to find As and keep her 'entertained.' However, they were aware of the latter's strength. After all, she was not only a Dragon, but the daughter of the Dragon Emperor. It went without saying that the Draconic magic coursing through her veins was far more potent than the rest of her kin.
Thus, when they gathered their mbers, they also sent a ssage to Lady Raelia, who was known as Lady As's rival in the Higher Realm, for assistance.
Unfortunately, they could not get a hold of Raelia. They had no choice but to leave the Higher Realm and search for As. Nonetheless, they continued to send out updates to Raelia in case she decided to co.
The Emperor's Elite Mages had first gone to Somuli and did not sense As's presence. However, they managed to find traces of her aura and imdiately went after her— all the while sending updates to Raelia about their current location.
Luckily, Raelia managed to follow their trail just as they encountered As.
As narrowed her eyes while looking at Raelia. Ignoring the rising confidence coming from the Elite Mages, she addressed Raelia and said, "You're saying that after The Emperor attacked my clan? It sounds to like you, The Emperor, are just looking for a reason to wage war against us. And you, his loyal hound, is no different."
"I would watch my words if I were you, As," Raelia growled, her brows furrowed slightly.
As chuckled at her words and said, "Ah~ fortunately, I am not you. I don't want to be soone else's dog—!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The blade-like wings on Raelia's armor disengaged, turning into two-ter diamond blades that flew toward As while she was still talking. However, As was not soone to let down her guard. Thus, she easily deflected the incoming blades with a flick of her hand.
What happened next was a joint attack against As by The Emperor's Elite Mages and Raelia.
It was quite unfortunate that even if Raya, Myst, and the rest of the Regis Elite were there, they could not provide any assistance to Lady As. As a matter of fact, they were worried that they would beco a liability if they stayed there.
"Do not fret," As's voice seed to shake the Regis Elite's core. "I am here. Go and do what dragons are known for."
The Regis Elite were shocked at her bold words. Nevertheless, they did doubt her. They even had an inkling that they could take on the mages before them.
As this thought crossed their minds, they were reminded of the things As told them about the Sigil.
Was it truly possible for them to use Dragon magic energy and amplify their innate magic?
This question only fleeted through their minds for a mont before they felt a burning feeling coursing through their veins.
anwhile, The Emperor's Elite Mages scattered as soon as Raelia launched her first offensive. As they did, they attacked As with concentrated magic energy attacks from different directions.
As's eyes glowed silver as she activated the Dragon Eyes. Using her eyes, she was able to follow the trajectory of every attack launched by the Elite Mages. Her magic energy erupted, forming a translucent image of a silver dragon that covered her like armor.
As As made swiping motions with her arms, the clawed arms of the translucent silver dragon also moved. They collided with the incoming magic attacks, forcing them to explode before making contact with her.
Raelia, still sitting leisurely on her throne, willed her diamond blades toward As. They flew around, avoiding the Elite Mages's magic attacks while also aiming at As.
Swiping the magic attacks aid at her was one thing, but it would be different when it ca to Raelia's diamond swords. Although As appeared to have deflected Raelia's swords with relative ease, she was actually employing more than thirty percent of her magic energy with that move. That was because, if she was careless, those blades could cut through her.
Fortunately, Raelia was not an assh*le who would take hostages to ensure As would not be able to fight back. If not, As would have had trouble protecting herself and the Regis Elite, who had yet to retreat to safety.
The Emperor's Elite Mages, however, tried to attack them. Fortunately, the defense chanism of Loar's ship was nothing to scoff at.
In any case, Raelia's mistake when she attacked As was ignoring the Regis Elite. As for the Elite Mages, although they would aim at the Regis Elite every now and then, they lowered their magic output compared to those aid at As. This was the reason Loar's ship managed to defend against their attacks with no problem.
As to why it was a mistake to leave the Regis Elite alone? It was quite simple.
The Regis Elite were As's descendants. They were no pushovers. With her presence and the first seal of the Sigil being unlocked, the effect of the Sigil's Blessing would be imnse.
The mont Raya, Myst, and the rest of the Regis Elite heard As, they knew at once what she was trying to tell them.
What were Dragons good at?
Destruction.
Chaos
And with that, the Regis Elite roused their magic energy, triggering their dragon blood.
They then joined the fray.
