An unknown colossal beast surged into midair. Amid everyone's shock, its massive body, over ten ters long, suddenly flipped!
Its mountain-like form twisted into a circle, swinging its tail hamr downward with world-shattering force!
“Impossible— !!!!”
The third-stage Ascender's skin flushed crimson, veins bulging on his neck as he roared upward. Brilliant light erupted from his body, forming heavy armor on both sides of his fra.
It was clearly the sa ability as Gravilier's!
He had tested it before, his spirit-energy armor could withstand boulders launched by catapults!
Although he didn't know what exactly was happening with Kaelis's attack, surely its strike couldn't possibly surpass...
Just as this thought crossed his mind, the tail hamr descended!
“Boom!”
The collision exploded with dazzling light!
The sound rang like thunderous temple bells, making everyone's scalp tingle.
The horned dragon's tail hamr shattered with a crack!
Yet the third-stage Ascender's body was also sent flying off the wall.
But before that, his eyes had already gone blank.
He had been instantly killed by the horned dragon's blow!
“┗|｀O′|┛ Aaaah~~, !”
After landing, the victorious horned dragon raised its head and roared toward the sky, making nearby' internal organs tremble soldiers and their faces twist with terror as they stared at this unpredictable, ferocious giant beast.
Yet in the blink of an eye, its body began to dissolve.
“So, I can perform over-summoning, but only unleash a special single strike?”
Watching the horned dragon gradually disappear, Kaelis seed already prepared.
She now roughly understood her four summoning thods.
[Ink Drop, Basic Summoning]
[Pignt, Support Summoning]
[Sketch, Advanced Summoning]
[Detailed Drawing, Special/Over-Summoning]
These abilities could complent each other. Normally, she'd use Ink Drop for instant basic attacks; Sketch and Pignt can be pre-prepared as main combat skills, while Detailed Drawing will serve as her ultimate move.
“Wait... Isn't this just skill one, two, and three?”
Kaelis suddenly realized...
Skill one automatically recovers and has fast cooldown. Skill two is the main combat ability. Skill three is the ultimate decision.
Then... how strong does that make ?
Kaelis smirked faintly. But at that mont, the enemy soldiers nearby snapped back to awareness.
“She... she seems to have no more power left?”
“Go! We absolutely cannot let the gate open!”
“Kill, !!!”
With the greatest threat gone, these fighters were still formidable.
Among them, hidden experts erged.
Soon, one man burst with white mist, leaping several ters high as he lunged straight towards Kaelis!
“Go join our captain in death!”
He roared, gripping his spear tightly with both hands!
Yet Kaelis rely cast a cold glance, then suddenly switched her footing!
Flower Step!
A flash of light slashed his throat!
Instant kill!
This sharp, decisive attack stunned everyone who assud Kaelis had no strength left to fight.
“I'm not just a summoner, you know.”
Silently lifting her standard-issue longsword, Kaelis casually kicked the corpse off the wall. She smiled sweetly at the soldiers who now looked at her with fear in their eyes.
Blood splattered onto her dress, resembling a blood-stained lily...
Watching the fleeing soldiers, Kaelis moved at the restless troops and shook her head slightly.
“Everyone... hold your positions. Under no circumstances advance. Violators will forfeit all rewards!”
Her cold words ntioned no executions, yet the threat of losing rewards instantly cald them.
True enough.
After all, they'd already earned the major reward for being first to breach. There was no need to greedily pursue minor rits.
Although of course, small greed isn't really greedy...
Kaelis pondered, then flicked her wrist.
An unknown fluid, whether blood or sweat, suddenly splashed outward, transforming into a strange hound and a spiked, spherical insect creature.
They darted toward the fleeing soldiers. The insect suddenly reacted violently, glowing red.
Then...
“Boom!”
The explosion instantly blasted them all away!
Scorching Sourcestone Insect Hound = Self-Destructing Puppy!
The team wins again!
This pair required about thirty spirit points to summon...
Not too much, not too little, decent for clearing grunts, but insufficient against tougher targets.
Maybe later she could specifically develop cheaper self-destructing variants? Or try a mass-explosion strategy, pre-drawing a hundred sketches, then detonating them all at once...
A twenty-ter blast radius! Take this!
Kaelis raised her sword, lost in random thoughts.
anwhile, the enemy army outside began retreating in waves.
This ant the siege... was finally coming to an end...
...
“Is it dawn already?”
After a whole night of chaos, several hours passed before the battle situation stabilized and the sky began to lighten.
This made Kaelis suddenly feel reflective.
Ti had shifted.
In her previous simulation, the battle also began in the dead of night. But the Dias forces held firm, and without high-tier fighters intervening, the fight dragged on until long after sunrise the next day.
But this ti, thanks to Kaelis's surprise attack and the gate being opened, the Dias army suddenly lost their will to defend, though it was only a side gate, it was enough to shake their morale.
Deprived of their fighting spirit, they collapsed faster than before... yet not as completely as last ti.
At least this ti, the battlefield wasn't littered with corpses... though it wasn't far off.
Battle rits still needed to be counted and recorded, but Kaelis left that task to Seren. She wasn't skilled at such things, nor particularly interested.
But before leaving, Kaelis reminded Seren to distribute the final explosive kills' rits among all soldiers.
Kaelis was fulfilling her promise made before departure, every glory, shared by everyone!
This previously left grumbling soldiers both shocked and delighted.
They had assud Kaelis stopped them from segueing so she could claim the kills herself... though they understood, it still felt slightly uncomfortable.
They thought she stopped them so she could grab the rewards more easily.
But now, they suddenly felt ashad of their own pettiness. Kaelis was truly thinking of everyone! A sudden charge would be too dangerous, better to hold position, let her use abilities to secure rewards, then share them all equally...
To have such a leader... is truly wonderful!
Their evaluation of Kaelis rose once again, especially among the first squad, the unit directly under Kaelis, who now beca utterly devoted to her.
As battlefield newcors, they could actually share such massive rits. As long as they survived, this was enough to ensure their comfort for the rest of their lives.
Their shouts of "Captain" beca increasingly natural.
The Captain's kindness can never be repaid!
And Kaelis was happy with this outco.
Returning to camp, she rested properly through the night. Unlike her first ti killing, Kaelis didn't feel the previous discomfort or sleeplessness. She quickly fell asleep.
In her dreams, she recreated the world-famous masterpieces in this world, painting “Starry Night” “The Four Seasons”, becoming the most famous artist in this world, single-handedly advancing the civilization's aesthetic developnt...
And when Kaelis opened her eyes again, it was already afternoon.
“Hey, ti to get up!” Kaelis sprang from bed, ready to find Seren for so food.
But just then, Kaelis suddenly noticed an old man with white beard sitting cross-legged with closed eyes inside her command tent.
So impatient commanders stood nearby. Seeing them, Kaelis blinked.
“You guys…”
