Chapter 696 Congregation of the Divine Senses! Part 5

"S**t!!" Alina was prepared for any move that Beatrice might do, but because of Beatrice's bewildering immunity to clairvoyance, Alina was still caught-off guard with what she just did.

"Did Beatrice just shatter 3 of my Ancient-Present Spheres? And she just destroyed them by channeling her Sword Will on her shouts? Dangerous… this woman is dangerous!"

With her battling experience related to swords, Alina knew how hard it was to create 'pure' sword abilities that can be used to counteract against other Power Systems. One has to be extremely talented with swords and have an enlightened mind if they want to soar on the path of sword wielding.

This kind of talents are extremely hard to find, and those who have this talent are usually killed or recruited by different groups.

Because of this factors, Alina did not think that she will meet a powerful sword cultivator on the early stages of her life.

But reality had exceeded that expectation of her today, and it even plunged her to her greatest danger yet!

"There are different paths in terms of Sword Arts, and all of them provide their wielders with different abilities. In Beatrice's case, she seems to follow the Sword Will Path…."

"Tsk, isn't that the technique where a person turns his/her 'Will' into a sword and fuses it into their body?"

"From what I can remember, users of this technique will have the power to unleash frightening attacks that can kill almost anyone, but at the expense of their attack range."

"That should not be a problem to me, since I can use long-range abilities that can slow down those people, especially Beatrice…."

"But this f**king Beatrice actually found a way to use it in long-range too! That makes this situation worse, and it makes me feel close to death again!"

With her heart as heavy as a dense rock, Alina could only feel disappointed to herself as she started dodging Beatrice's attacks.

Each of Beatrice's attack this time were just as lethal as the other, and if it weren't for the combination of Alina's Time Magic, Esper Power, and Dark Magic, she should have been dead already.

In fact, the next few seconds of the encounter between her and Beatrice had brought 25 near-death experiences towards Alina already!

That's already more than 20, and Beatrice is not stopping yet!

Shouts, flicks of her fingers, and unexpected strikes that came from unexpected angles.

These were all the bodily movements that Beatrice performed, and there were no hints of Beatrice caring about defending her body.

Beatrice just attacked and attacked Alina, which trapped the latter into a sensation of intense confinement.

As much as Alina wanted to attack Beatrice, the latter would just not let her do it.

"S**t! If this goes on I will be the one who might get defeated! S**t, what should I do!"

Beatrice appeared to have limitless stamina this time, as she did not show signs of fatigue or exhaustion after all the attacks that she did. Her attacks even increased in ferocity too, which was leagues different from Alina's attack that had began to decline in their power already…

Alina's energy reserves this time were not just enough, and the forceful attacks made by Beatrice had just reduced Alina's energy more.

This left Alina unable to do anything else but defend herself, and even that was becoming an undesirable option too as Beatrice just seemed to get stronger and stronger as time passed by…

"All of my attacks were getting dispelled by Beatrice's Sword Will and my energy reserves were being grinded down too… Sigh, my opponent is troublesome indeed."

"Tsk, this really is the worst situation for me, and if I don't do anything about this, Alex might be forced to live alone on his next missions…"

With the sudden reversal on their positions, the suppressed Alina could only feel sullen as she felt aggrieved with the sudden dominance of her opponent.

Alina tried to find something optimistic about her situation, but the loud laughter coming from Beatrice did nothing to improve Alina's mood.

And to make matters even worse, Alina saw with her own very eyes that it was not only her that was being suppressed like this.

"F**k!!!!" Behind Alina, the previously smug Professor Frances could be heard cursing, and this cursing was not the type that indicates the professor's happiness.

This cursing was instead that of anger, as Professor Frances found herself in a dilemma too.

"F**k this robot s**t! You have weapons solely focused on biological entities? And you have copies of your mind stored in an off-shore server? This is unfair!"

The professor's Soul Magic was still able to shut down the robot's consciousness, but because of the extra copies of the robot's mind hidden in a server, it can easily restore its consciousness even when it gets deleted by the Soul Magic .

As for the professor's Monster Army, their initial physical advantage over the robot earlier was gone at this point too.

Instead of having time to physically attack the robot, the Monster Army was forced to deal with an army of mechanical creatures that the robot had created on the spot.

These mechanical creatures were initially weak at the start, but they grew stronger and stronger after each fight with the Monster Army.

Eventually, this Mechanical Army reached a level of power so high, that the Mechanical Army's extreme anti-biological weapons has allowed it to fight toe-to-toe against the Monster Army.

"Argh! Why don't you just fall down! This is not what I want to see! Come on, die, die, die~"

With the professor's Soul Magic and her Monster Army suppressed, her enemy robot had a lot of freedom attack Professor Frances, which leaves the latter with no choice too but to defend herself.

This of course made the professor irritated, but just like Alina, she seemed to have no choice but to stay in this way for now.

"…."

"That robot might seem weak, but it actually has the power to create evolving machinery that can adapt against any opponents or obstacles… That is the reason why it has managed to essentially survive Professor Frances' attacks, and now it has the free reign to actually defeat her…"

Upon seeing the professor's condition, Alina could only let out a sigh as she had decided to let her deal with her problem by herself.

Since the professor has not yet died, this means that the robot is not stronger than her, and that the robot's peak power is only enough to match Professor Frances in equal terms.

Professor Frances still had some hidden cards that she can use against this robot, so her victory is still assured…

Speaking of hidden cards, Alina also had them too, but she's not yet willing to use them right now.

"Since I am not using my power fully, and since Beatrice seems to be expending all of her abilities to fight me, it's no surprise that she can suppress me." Alina thought sourly as she dodged an elbow strike from her foe, one that almost grazed her skin.

She was both bitter and irritated by this thought, although she did not let it affect her actions. "I could also unleash abilities that might insta-kill Beatrice too, but if I do that, I will not have enough energy to use against the Travelers and Alex later…"

"Sigh, that's the only reason why Beatrice is dominant right now, and quite frankly, this is making me feel irritated."

Alina dodged one more strike from Beatrice, this time coming from her knee that threatened to slam on her navel.

"Should I use a forbidden magic to end this fight already? This could be worth it, since Beatrice is using all of her powers to fight me already. But this will also leave me slightly weakened, which will not be good for later…"

"Argh! Don't be pissed off Alina! Just stay calm!"

The continuous attacks by Beatrice brought Alina closer and closer to the point of rage, and it took her a lot of self-control just to not recklessly use her hidden cards.

"Just calm down ALina. As long as you are calm, you can get through this without any difficulty. Be calm just like Queen Mother, and you will prevail. Wait, speaking of Queen Mother, how is the situation on her side? Is she winning or is she being suppressed?"

"Let's se- what the heck Queen Mother? What are you doing? You're not supposed dot do that!"

This method of coming herself down was extremely difficult for Alina given her current state, and this only got worse when she saw the situation of Queen Mother's battle.

In comparison to Alina and Professor Frances' situation, the current Queen Mother can be said to be unable to win against her opponent too, but unlike the first two, the problem in this encounter lies on Queen Mother herself.

"…."

Even if Queen Mother had countless openings that she can utilize in order to capture or even kill her fairy opponent, the tree woman does not exploit them at all.

She was just randomly lashing her whips, with the majority of course failing to hit the fairy. The ones that managed to land did significant damage on the fairy, but the fairy was able to use her power to heal herself.

This lapse from Queen Mother's offence allowed the fairy to attack the former, but fortunately for the Queen Mother, the fairy's attacks were like a pebble compared to her immense vitality.

At most, the fairy can only singe a small portion of Queen Mother's skin, an injury that was of no effect to Queen Mother at all.

"…."

This lack of enthusiasm from Queen Mother and the weakness of her fairy opponent had essentially turned their fight into nothing more but an exhibition match, one that had no clear winner or even a loser.

Having this kind of battle was something that Alina had never wanted to see right now, as such the mere fact of seeing it here was enough to make her turn red in anger.

"Tsk, so something has definitely affected Queen Mother's mind, to the point that she's not mentally fit to even defeat her opponent. As for that fairy, she seems to be just as useless as Asteria, as her attacks just do not work against Queen Mother at all…."

Alina's face contorted in disappointment upon seeing Queen Mother's stable but dismal state, and it almost made her growl in extreme frustration.

There is just no instance in this time that Alina is happy with what Queen Mother was doing, as her actions was just making the whole situation worse!

"If Queen Mother can just defeat that fairy quickly, then she could have gone towards Professor Frnaces and assisted her against the robot. But no, Queen Mother did not seem to be interested on doing that…. She's actually willing to just play with her opponents rather than help Professor Frances!"
