The Spirit Kings are powerful spiritual beings from a higher dinsion, controlling the elents with authority. However, there's a surprising twist: despite their great power, they aren't at the top of the spiritual hierarchy. In fact, compared to other spiritual entities from higher dinsions, Spirit Kings are considered low-tier.
So, who reigns at the pinnacle of spiritual power?
The answer is *True Dragons*. These creatures stand far above the Spirit Kings in terms of strength and supremacy.
At this mont, the Spirit Kings, who were summoned into the mortal world, had no clue about the opponent they were about to face. They wore casual, confident smiles as if victory was already theirs. But their expressions changed dramatically when they spotted Scarlett standing up from the ground. As soon as they sensed the overwhelming aura of a True Dragon emanating from her, their entire deanor shifted.
The once-proud Spirit Kings were suddenly paralyzed with fear.
The Wind Spirit King's eyes went wide with terror, her voice trembling. "W-w-what's a Supre Being doing here?"
The Fire Spirit King didn't even wait to process the situation. "S-shit! I don't want to die! Run... Run!" he scread, frantically turning to flee. Despite floating, the panic in their retreat was obvious as they bolted through the air. In re monts, all of the Spirit Kings had vanished, leaving nothing but thin air in their wake.
Even Warlord Beatrix, known for her own strength, was left utterly stunned by the sudden turn of events. Her face turned pale as she muttered, "What just happened?"
The sheer presence of a True Dragon like Scarlett was enough to terrify beings who were once believed to be nearly invincible, showcasing just how terrifyingly high True Dragons rank in the spiritual hierarchy.
Even though Spirit Kings wield great authority over the elents, But if we take "Elents " As an company. Their control can be compared to the role of a manager in a company, while humans are like regular employees. They command respect but still operate within the system. However, when it cos to True Dragons like Scarlett, they are akin to the CEO or owner of the company. This distinction in power hierarchy makes a world of difference.
At the academy, when Scarlett placed her hand on the elental affinity test, she registered as having no affinity with any elent. But the truth was much deeper. Humans and demons, having mortal bodies, form natural bonds with elents—like friendships that grow stronger with ti and practice, which allows them to use elental magic. In Scarlett's case, this wasn't necessary.
Scarlett, as a True Dragon, doesn't need to form a "friendship" with the elents. The relationship is vastly different. How could sothing as insignificant as an earthworm be friends with a king? She is the owner of the elents. She can command them as she pleases, treat them like re tools, or even crush them with ease if she wanted to. For this reason, no elent would dare show an affinity for her—they simply exist under her will.
Unlike humans or demons who need to build a connection with elents to use them effectively, Scarlett can use any magic, any elent, without needing that bond. She is beyond the limitations of affinity.
The first Demon King, Avion, was aware of Scarlett's power over all elents. However, he advised her to focus on using fire elent magic. Though he had crucial reasons for this suggestion, he chose not to explain them at the ti.
As the battle intensified, Scarlett's voice cut through the air like thunder. "Cryptus, I'm going to end this. Prepare a soul barrier—don't let Lórien's soul escape!" Her shout echoed across the battlefield, reaching Cryptus and the others watching from afar. Without hesitation, Cryptus raised his hand and conjured a shimring soul barrier, ensuring that Lórien's soul wouldn't slip into the cycle of reincarnation or rebirth.
anwhile, Warlord Beatrix's face twisted with anger, a fierce determination burning in her eyes. "This isn't over yet!" she roared, ready to unleash all her strength. But before she could act, Scarlett was already in front of her, moving faster than Beatrix could react.
Scarlett's fist shot forward with trendous force, connecting squarely with Beatrix's chest. The impact was devastating.
**BAM!**
The punch sent out a deafening shockwave that rippled through the battlefield. The sheer pressure forced everyone to cover their ears, so even buckling under the weight of the shock. The ground shook violently as dust and debris swirled into the air, montarily obscuring the view.
Li Feng, watching from a distance, stood frozen, wide-eyed at the raw power on display. Cryptus, still focused on maintaining the soul barrier, glanced up and muttered, "That's… beyond anything I've ever seen."
As the dust settled, the battlefield was unrecognizable. A massive tunnel-like path stretched for kiloters, carved through the land by the force of Scarlett's punch. Trees, mountains, everything in its path had been obliterated, and no one could even see where the destruction ended.
Those watching couldn't believe their eyes. Li Feng's jaw dropped, while others stared in stunned silence. Beatrix's whole body blasted into pieces and insides of her body was on ground mix with dirt looked extrely unsightly and many broken bones, Even gender was unrecognizable.
Suddenly, the sound of rushing water filled the air. A river, once far away about 20-40 KM. now poured through the hole Scarlett had created. It was the border between the demon realm and the human realm, and Scarlett's punch had connected it directly to the outskirts of Dreadhaven. The water rushed in, creating a new river that flowed through Scarlett's territory.
Cryptus, trying to process everything, shook his head in disbelief. "She... she just created a new water source with one punch."
Scarlett stood amidst the chaos, her expression calm, as though everything had gone exactly as planned. "Well, that takes care of the water shortage," she muttered to herself, already thinking ahead.
Li Feng, still watching from afar, couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and fear. "What kind of monster have we been following?" he whispered, eyes locked on Scarlett's figure.
Cryptus leapt down and landed softly on the ground, his small skeletal fra surprisingly agile. His tiny bones clicked with each step as he scurried towards Scarlett, his bony hand extending forward, revealing a floating, colorless orb that shimred like a translucent balloon—Lórien's noble soul.
Scarlett sighed, her breath heavy with the weight of the battle. "Take it with you," she commanded,"Resurrect him. He doesn't deserve an easy death like this." Her voice held authority, leaving no room for argunt.
Cryptus nodded but hesitated for a mont, his glowing eye sockets dimming slightly. Despite his skeletal appearance, there was an undeniable sadness radiating from him, sothing Scarlett noticed imdiately. She tilted her head, puzzled by the sudden shift in his deanor. "What's wrong?" she asked, her tone softer but still edged with curiosity. "Is sothing bothering you?"
Cryptus stared at the ground, his bony fingers twitching as if contemplating whether to speak. After a long pause, he raised his head and, with a voice that sounded both delicate and sorrowful, asked, "Did you really… kill Tiatht and Lunaria?"
The question hung in the air, charged with emotion. Scarlett blinked under her blindfold, understanding at once. She crouched down to his level, her lips close to Cryptus's ear. In a low whisper, she recounted the events of the war, explaining how Tiatht and Lunaria had not died but had fused into a single being—Lunatic, the new queen of succubi.
Cryptus's eyes widened in shock, but as the truth sank in, relief washed over his skeletal face. A bright, joyous smile crept across his bony features, his earlier sorrow fading like mist. His sisters were alive.
