'Moon Goddess Spear Art Second Form: Moonlight Serenade'",
The second her words fell, Ruyue swept back into action. Moonlight Serenade was a dance similar to Damien's Dance of the Void. In fact, the two were so similar it was strange.
Ruyue's figure turned illusory. Instead of blending with space, she blended in with the sky itself. Her spear beca a shadow that looked like the blade of the reaper.
She appeared next to the 12th Elder in an instant, heavily swinging her spear to slash her opponent. However, the 12th Elder was no longer treating her as a casual opponent.
A small hexagon made of ice appeared where Ruyue's spear was going to strike, imdiately offsetting all the force that she mobilized. At the sa ti, another small shard of ice shot toward Ruyue's stomach and pierced through.
Puff!
A spray of blood mist left the wound on Ruyue's stomach, freezing into crystallized blood shards the second it did. However, the 12th Elder wasn't showing any rcy. As the blood shards ford, their direction changed, following the previous ice shard and piercing through Ruyue's abdon.
Spurt!
A fountain of blood threatened to spurt from the wound, but there was no way Ruyue would give the 12th Elder more ammo. She directly slapped her own stomach, forcing it to freeze over using her mana.
'My mobility will be limited with a wound like this. Looks like I can't use my spear anymore.'
Ruyue sighed to herself. She wanted to compete using ice and lunar techniques only. Perhaps it was a lingering desire to prove her worth that made her do so.
But a 4th class was a 4th class after all. Ruyue didn't have the freedom to hold onto such petty thoughts.
'Burst.'
Ruyue appeared back in front of the Blood Moon as if she teleported, but her spear remained in the air where she was once standing. A familiar lunar white glow emanated from its body as it hovered.
'i, can you help out?' Ruyue spoke inwardly.
'Mm! Finally, I can show big sister how powerful I am!' An enthusiastic response greeted her, making her smile despite her current situation.
'Good, then. Let's show them the power we have when we fight together.'
A frightening black mana suddenly encompassed Ruyue's body and spear. Mixing with the lunar white mana of her Moon Affinity, she looked like a being who represented Yin and Yang.
'Death Goddess' Descent'
It was a variation of her original Moon Goddess' Descent that she created after bonding with Lily and i. Ruyue's shining white hair turned black, her irises and sclera followed the sa pattern.
Deathly mana surrounded her body and turned into a rain of spears, joining Ruyue's main weapon on the frontlines.
'Moon Goddess Spear Art Third Form: Drifting Moon'
The hundreds of spears in the air began vibrating rapidly. A horrific screeching noise was emitted from their movents.
The 12th Elder frowned. Even she could feel a slight tinge of nausea ford by the sound impacting her eardrums. But before she could complain about it, the spears suddenly shot out like shooting stars.
They streaked through the sky, creating countless complex patterns as they did so. Without suspense, the 12th Elder was surrounded by Ruyue's barrage of spears.
Ziu! Ziu! Ziu!
The spears slashed through the air as if they had minds of their own. In response, hundreds of small hexagonal ice shards appeared around the 12th Elder to counter.
But the spear rain was nothing more than a diversion.
'Strike!'
Oh Ruyue's command, her main spear shot out of the crowd unnoticed. A beam of red moonlight shot from the Blood Moon behind her, covering its movents as it did so.
Bang!
The spear rapidly penetrated the 12th Elder's shoulder, finally drawing blood. But Ruyue wasn't content because of this.
'I aid for the head. In that split second, she managed to dodge. Is overcoming the class barrier really sothing I can't do?'
Ruyue furrowed her brows. Although she was confident in winning this fight, she didn't think she could do so in a short amount of ti. But as if the heavens were answering her worries…
"Yo! You look like you could use so help." A cheerful voice resounded from behind her. Hearing it, Ruyue's body subconsciously relaxed.
"Your speaking tone mirrors his so much that I almost mistook you for him. If you don't work on that, I might accidentally pounce on you one day." She joked.
Rose smirked at her words. "If you think you can take this big sister of yours, then feel free to try. But…I think you'll be the one that's defeated."
Ruyue shook her head wryly. In the week she spent with Rose, the thing she noticed that stood out the most was the latter's shalessness. It almost trumped the most shaless person she knew, which was saying sothing.
"Forget about that for now. Let's take this bitch down together so we don't waste too much ti. There's plenty left to do after this."
Rose raised her brow. "Hm? Aren't the others dealing with the more powerful ones? I don't think we have more work to do once she dies."
Ruyue shook her head in response. "No, that bastard of a Clan Head, Xue Yebai, still hasn't appeared yet. Even if I can't deal with him personally, I want to be there to see him fall."
"Understandable. Well then, we just have to kill this bitch quick, right?"
"Right."
Rose cracked her knuckles and grinned. "Good. I'll take support while you attack. Now that your big sister is here, you don't need to worry about dodging anymore."
Ruyue rolled her eyes. Rose's obsession with being the "big sister" really shone through in monts like this.
But that didn't matter. After all, Rose was indeed as reliable and understanding as a big sister should be. Knowing this, Ruyue clenched her fists and roused her mana.
"Let's get to it then."
'Drifting Moon Second Phase: Rotate'
Ruyue's spear pulled back and began rotating in the air. It soon turned into a blinding white disc that seed like it could cut through anything.
The 12th Elder scoffed. Her fingers spread and tapped in the air. The icy mana around her coagulated into a small lotus flower that stood on her palm.
"Ice Lotus."
The ice lotus drifted through the air unhurried as if it wasn't an attack at all, but the effects it had on the surroundings told a different story.
The winds were frozen into a tunnel of ice, ambient mana turned into a raging blizzard that surrounded the lotus. The movents of Ruyue's spear were becoming slower and slower, forced to co to a halt by the raging Ice Laws contained in the lotus.
But at that ti, Rose finally made her move. She waved her arm casually, but that casual movent carried a frightening amount of mana.
"Shoo."
With a single word, Rose released her mana. It dispersed into the atmosphere, creating a relatively anticlimactic effect. But before anyone could question her actions, the ice lotus beca hazy.
"W-what did you do?!" The 12th Elder stamred, finally acknowledging the existence of her second opponent.
The ice lotus soon turned ethereal. The effects it had on the environnt faded, and Ruyue's spear was able to move freely once more.
Seeing this, Rose grinned lightly. "Hehehe, don't worry about . My second sister is the one who wants to play with you."
And confirming her words…
BOOOOOM!
Ruyue's spear made a blazing trail straight toward the 12th Elder's flabbergasted face.
