The Heavenly Martial Empress Returns: An OP Xianxia Returnee LitRPG Chapter 223: Arrival

-----

After realizing that Caesar might have figured out the reason behind the spreading laughter, Atticus started running away, controlled by sothing, or soone else, that wouldn’t easily allow him to get caught. After all, the fun was just about to begin, and ending things too soon would only be la in comparison to this person.

“Co on, run quicker! With those little legs you’ve got, sir knight! I want everyone here to begin laughing as loudly as possible! Only then will I finally feel like there’s sothing to be happy about!”

“Hahaahaha!”

As the voice whispered inside his mind, Atticus laughed maniacally. The battle going on through the battlefield rapidly began shifting, as more and more soldiers started laughing only after hearing the laughter for a bit and from quite far away.

“Guahahaha!”

“Gyahahaha!”

“W-What’s- Haha… HAHAHAAH!”

The laughter continued spreading, and everyone that laughed beca friends; they no longer attacked each other; they were allies, family even.

“Yes! That’s it! Through laughter, through smiles, we can finally move past our differences! We are all family now! Friends! Please smile forever!”

The voice kept rejoicing as he saw through Atticus’ eyes, the knight running wild through the entire battlefield, turning the war upside down by completely changing how everything was happening.

Those that weren’t infected in ti were quickly attacked by both friends and foes; the ones that resisted the laughter beca enemies that had to be eliminated.

FLUOSH!

But in that mont, several golden portals opened through space, revealing several figures erging out of them, glancing down into the battlefield. Their appearances could be recognized by any citizen of the United States of North Arica.

They were famous hunters, popular and strong, each one a Guild Master commanding a big guild in their city, even outside of New York. They had beco popular because they were the disciples of the world’s strongest human, Bing Xue.

“What the hell is going on in here?!” The first to ask the question was Aiyana, her appearance having beco even larger, taller, stronger, and bulkier, although her feminine beauty had beco wilder as well, giving her the appearance of a lioness or an Amazonian queen. “They’re all freaking laughing?!”

“It seems we’ve co a bit late; we were just teleported here though, so the battle started even before our Master stepped out of her Divine Realm…” Jackes said, his now long black hair waving by the wind as his rogue-like clothes and armor, completely black, seed to ld with his aura of pure darkness. “We have to hurry and take care of this; we can’t let King Caesar die, as much as I would rather have him gone.”

“Hah, well, he saved our country from dying; despite how much we dislike having a King, he isn’t a bad person… Or well, he changed, so he’s not too bad now,” Aiyana laughed. Her forrly short brown hair had beco blonde after going through a tamorphosis of her Physique, even her eyes had beco red and fierce, with slit pupils; her hands now had sharp claws; and fur quickly grew across her hands, arms, and then at several areas of her body. “I’ll start rampaging… Where’s the girl and the boy at?”

“We’re here,” a young teenager boy spoke, with short red hair and clear skin, looking down at the war with calm eyes. His body had beco much taller and slightly stronger after his training with Bing Xue, but what was truly impressive was his massive quantity of Mana flowing through his body, which seed endless; he was Francisco. “Sara, do you think you could do sothing?”

“I think I should at the very least try,” said the youngest of the four, a girl no older than fourteen, wearing a white cloak and black cloths that covered her hair. With her clear brown skin and adorable silver-colored eyes, she held an almost angelic appearance, her aura of light only increasing this belief about her, and many religious people in her country believed her to be so sort of Saint sent by their God, she was Sara, the Holy Child. “It seems everyone is being affected by so kind of ntal attack; a little bug inside their heads is forcing them to go crazy.”

“Then we should go find the King and the Queen for now, and the princess too,” said Jackes. “Well, I’ll go on my own; I doubt Aiyana will- Ah, we lost her already.”

BAAAM!

Jackes facepald as he saw Aiyana descend into the middle of the battlefield, an area where the clowns had yet to spread. There, the army of King Caesar was being pushed greatly by several thousand soldiers and magicians.

“Alright fools, you think you’ll get away with invading freaking Washington DC? You’re lunatics!”

She rushed forward; Claudius’ army soldiers panicked as they unleashed powerful weapon attacks at her. Several thousands of levels above her own, they would be simply unparalleled against her strength!

Of course, that is, if only the System’s powers were calculated!

“{Spiritual Beast Totem Embodint Arts}: {Six-Limbed Heavenly Golden Lion}!”

With a furious roar, Aiyana’s entire body transford, as her body grew three tis as big. She gained golden fur across most parts of her body except her breasts and a bit of her neck and face.

A second pair of arms sprouted from her shoulders, muscular and as huge as her original arms; her blonde hair turned even longer, wrapping around her neck, resembling a beautiful and glistening mane.

She gained a black-colored lion snout, lion ears, and also a long tail; her eyes beca golden with black slit pupils.

And above all, her Aura exploded, Primal Power, Ki, Mana, and Spirit Energy intermixing together into an imnse strengthening effect.

Her Physique reacted; the tattoos she had even before beginning to cultivate had been rged into her Physique, as she further specialized into their power.

“RAAAAHHH!”

With a ferocious and monstrous roar, Aiyana released a shockwave, sending dozens of soldiers flying away the mont she did so.

The allied soldiers gasped in disbelief before her mighty roar, stepping back in surprise. Many of them were wounded as well, unable to even fight properly anymore.

“I’ll take care of this small fry! I wanted to test my power after all!”

Aiyana infused Primal Power into her legs, which were already incredibly muscular, with her feet becoming like the paws of a lion with sharp claws, and then she leaped into the skies.

RUMBLE!

The ground beneath her foot was destroyed, leaving behind a large crater as she rushed down once more, resembling a teor. Her Aura alone spread golden flas as she impacted the ground, right in the middle of hundreds of soldiers.

BOOOMM!!

“Uuaaggh!”

“Aaargh!”

“Hyaaagh!”

The screams of dozens of soldiers reverberated at the sa ti, as their bodies were sent flying everywhere. Aiyana was rciless, quickly aiming her claws at anybody nearby.

“You want to fight?! Have it!”

CRAAASH!

With a furious swing of her claws, several soldiers were instantly blown away, their bodies twisting in the wrong direction. The difference in stats they possessed against her had already been evened and then surpassed.

“K-Kill her!”

“You damn woman!”

“How dare you!”

“Die!”

The soldiers rallied together at once, attacking Aiyana from every angle; most of them wielded long, golden-colored spears, infused with their Magic Auras. They tried to impale her from every direction, despite being a beast of over five ters of height.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Their attacks weren’t weak at all; infused with powerful Spear Techniques and various Skills, these soldiers had been trained their entire lives for long battles and had managed to not only learn how to preserve their energies but also how to use them to deal the most damage, targeting vital areas and also trying to destroy the girl’s pressure points.

And yet…

Crack, crack…!

CRASH!

Despite their attacks coming from every angle, Aiyana seed fine, her fur and her skin becoming so tough their weapons shattered the mont they used their full power trying to pierce through it.

“Our weapons…?!”

“Shattered?!”

“Impossible!”

“Aren’t they made out of Golden Arcanium?!”

“It’s one of the strongest tals!”

Golden Arcanium, a powerful gold-like tal mined in the depths of Floor 73, where these soldiers originate from. It possesses incredible toughness and malleability, surpassing Mithril, and an even greater ability to gather and harness Magic Power and Skills.

Above all, it could also be enchanted with powerful magical power, which Claudius, their King, has done before, making the weapons almost at the sa level as divine weapons or holy weapons.

With these weapons, they even went against armies of Divine Beasts and helped their king slay a God!

And yet…

“Hehehe, pretty weak little sticks you got here…”

Aiyana didn’t waste ti, swinging her long lioness tail around her and sweeping away the knights one after another; it wasn’t a gentle blow though, as their armor shattered into pieces and several of their bones broke.

CRAAASH!

As she swept away her attackers, she quickly opened her jaws, harnessing Mana and Ki and then releasing them at once, blowing through their army with ease as a gigantic beam of golden light began to burn through anything!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Dozens of explosions reverberated everywhere the more the laser beam spread through the battlefield. And any soldier trying to sneak behind her was quickly slamd into the ground by her tail or her legs, which she used to slash through their bodies with her big and sharp claws.

“Haaahh… Haahhh… Haahh…”

Aiyana gasped for air, feeling rather euphoric as she saw the destruction she was causing and the hundreds of soldiers rushing towards her. At the sa ti, magic spells ca down from above.

After her long and arduous training, she was definitely not the sa, at least not on the battlefield. She had beco much more ruthless and wilder; her instincts beca sharper like a beast, and her bloodthirst only increased.

“Anyone that dares invade my fucking country, no, my world… Will be crushed… like a bug.”

As she spoke, her giant claws began moving, her bones cracking as she suddenly disappeared from where she was, moving at lightning speed and arriving near the magicians, whose spells were only reflected by her skin and fur.

“You’re going down first!”

She swung her giant claws again, this ti using a specialized, new technique of her own creation; her claws gained golden auras as she unleashed a barrage of slashing attacks that rapidly generated a tornado.

“{Blazing Golden Claw Inferno}!”

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

FLUOOOSH!

The magicians were unable to defend against so many attacks from every angle. Their powerful magic barrier shattered into pieces, and their magic was unable to save their lives as they burned and then were sliced into pieces.

“What a monster…!”

“How is this possible?!”

“And she’s… a human from this world?!”

“Impossible, the people of this world cannot be this strong!”

“T-They’re stronger than us; we are from over seventy floors above them!”

The soldiers gathered, talking to one another while their despair grew. Aiyana glared at them, her totem tattoos glowing brightly, as she began to rapidly shapeshift once more.

“Hehehe… You haven’t seen anything yet!”

She roared as she suddenly began pulling out her fur and then transforming, as a black exoskeleton started growing through her body, and then yet another pair of arms grew out of her torso.

“{Spiritual Beast Totem Embodint Arts}: {Divine Abyssal Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle}!”

Instead of fur, she gained insectoid armor now, which covered mostly her entire body; her helt resembled the head of a huge rhinoceros beetle, with a giant horn, constantly charging with black sparks of electricity, which also spread through the rest of her body.

“Oh yes, this is it!”

With a prideful smile, the girl stepped forward, unleashing a devastating thunderstorm as she moved through the battlefield, black lightning engulfing her foes into pure agony as countless explosions spread everywhere.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Hundreds of soldiers were dying rapidly, and dozens of magicians were losing their lives! And all provoked by a single Earthling.

The monsters that Bing Xue had created, the new Guardians of Earth, were finally debuting their true and awakened powers.
