Saintess? Not Anymore! I'd Rather be a Destroyer-Chapter 363 - 300: Berserk Half Regal

"Ahhhhhh!!"

A bone-chilling scream tore through the air, so loud and raw it made the ancient buildings below tremble and groan as if mourning in response.

"What was that scream?!" Zeche gasped, eyes darting toward the source.

"...It’s Master," Penma whispered, her voice tight with anxiety. Her gaze was fixed ahead, unblinking.

They now floated above the rainbow domain colors shimmered in every direction like oil on water, distorting the sky into a prism. A rainbow-like domain stretched around them.

Carol wasted no time. She conjured her own barrier within the group’s protective shield, layering it with additional magic. Without hesitation, she stepped inside the sphere and say with the others.

But they weren’t alone.

Archeons, snapped their heads toward the new intruders. With a shriek, they surged forward, sensing fresh life.

Panic surged through the group.

"Stop," Carol said calmly. She extended a single hand.

At once, the Archeons halted mid-charge, their limbs twitching. A breath later, they turned away with dazed expressions, retreating into the land as if they hadn’t noticed them at all.

Before them was Aurianna’s singing parade domain. And even though they were extremely far away they could still see that the place was dangerous. At its center stood a towering, grotesque black and rainbow being, explosions bursting around it showing that someone was fighting it.

"As I thought. She’s fully transformed into a Regal," she added with a sigh.

"Aurianna’s Singing Parade Domain," Carol confirmed solemnly. "Even from here, we can see it. Ahh my students had gotten so strong. I’m so happy for her." she beamed but the others didn’t share the same feeling.

Peter squinted at the scene beyond. And over there, a majestic white dragon flew through the air, itss wings cutting through the Archeons like butter.

"Is that... a dragon?" he asked.

In the distance, the dragon reared its head and released a massive breath of white flame. The fire roared across the domain, slamming into the grotesque being at the center. A thunderous chain of explosions followed, and the creature screamed, a sickening, distorted sound that sent shivers through the group.

"We’re staying here," Carol said flatly. "She’s not going to recognize anyone in that state. It’s not safe to get closer."

Suddenly, Leila flew forward.

"Hadina, Kisho, Boara, Dokgil, handle the Archeons," she commanded, her tone sharp. "I’ll deal with Aurianna."

"Right!" they shouted, immediately springing into action.

"Master!!" Hadina cried out as she hurled herself at a cluster of Archeons, her tentacles wrapping around several before tearing them apart.

Boara swooped low, opening her jaws to release a devastating wave of dragonfire that engulfed a wave of enemies. Still, more kept coming, a never-ending tide of light and limbs.

High above, Leila flew toward Carol, shifting mid-air into her dragon-human hybrid form.

"Carol!" she called out.

Carol touched the barrier, making it transparent so Leila could see through.

"How’s Aurianna?" Carol asked.

Leila smiled wryly. "To stop her transformation, I’d probably have to kill her. So, want to lend a hand?"

Carol grinned wickedly. "No way. I want to watch you two duke it out."

"How cruel," Leila said, shaking her head playfully. Then her gaze shifted to the others. "You all are Aurianna’s friends, right?"

"Yes, Lady Leila!" Kiana blurted out, bowing quickly.

"Hm. Looks like you entered the domain by accident," Leila mused.

"Smart," Carol added with a smirk. "You’ve got good instincts."

"I see everything my sister sees, so I get the picture." Leila chuckled. "It’s amusing."

Batholem tilted his head as he observed her more closely. She looked almost exactly like Aurianna, same sharp eyes, same beautiful appearance. The only difference was her brown skin and her white hair, styled in a flowing water-like ponytail.

"Are you... Aurianna’s sister?" Elena asked, eyes lighting up with curiosity.

"Twin sister, to be exact," Leila said with a wink.

"But how come we’ve never seen you before?" Zorian asked, frowning.

"Well, I wasn’t raised in your world," Leila replied simply.

"No need to answer them, Master!" Penma interjected sharply.

"It’s fine, Penma," Leila said with a light laugh. "I don’t mind."

She glanced once more at the area where she was fighting. "I’d love to stay and chat, but I’ve got to knock some sense into my sister. See you all soon!"

With that, she flew back into where the monster was at.

"Where’s Aurianna now?" Peter asked worriedly.

Penma raised her hand and pointed at the grotesque figure that they were watching from afar. "That... that thing is her."

The others stared in horror. The creature there looked disgusting and weird, its body composed of shifting rainbow sparts, faces spinning around it, each one connected by heavy chains. Gigantic arms wielded an arsenal of guns, some mechanical, others were made of white crystal, and it fired in random directions, each shot causing shockwaves and destroying the land around it. A few even slammed into Carol’s barrier, though it held strong.

Carol snapped her fingers, and the shield floated backward, just out of range.

"What?!" they all cried out in disbelief, except for Carol, who seemed almost bored.

"I’ll wait for Lady Leila to bring her back," Penma said calmly, arms folded.

Above, Leila finally stopped mid-air, facing the monstrous version of her sister.

"Sister," she called, her voice rising above the chaos, "Are you really going to let yourself be consumed by your Regal side? We’re supposed to learn to live with both halves, remember?"

The creature twitched, its movements glitching unnaturally. Leila narrowed her eyes.

"And besides..." she called louder, "if you’re going to fight me, don’t do it hiding in a shell."

The beast let out a grinding growl. Then....m

**Shhhggghhh!!**

A strange sound echoed as the being’s core split open. Light poured from within, and a figure emerged.

There, suspended in mid-air, was Aurianna’s true body.

Her skin shimmered with rainbow colors, her eyes blazing with black sclera and shifting rainbow irises. Elegant, lightweight armor hugged her body, glowing. The armour covering her entire body as well. In her hands, two crystal sabers appeared.

Even in this form she still looked beautiful.

"Heheheheee..." Leila grinned darkly.

A blur of motion.

Aurianna vanished from sight, only to reappear above her in a flash of rainbow light, sabers raised. She brought them down with lethal force.

**CLANG!**

Leila blocked the strike with her broadsword, but the force was overwhelming. The impact sent her crashing into the ground below, shattering it on impact as dust and debris exploded around her.

Groaning, Leila stood and rolled her shoulders with a smirk. "Guess I’ll need to step it up."

Rainbow lines surged across her body, wrapping around her. They solidified into full-body battle armor. A long, flowing battle skirt fluttered behind her, glowing faintly with every movement.

"This is more like it," she muttered.

’Aurianna’s faster than me... but I don’t need speed. I just need to hit her hard enough to end it.’ Leila’s eyes flared as she tracked Aurianna’s movement, barely visible even to her enhanced senses.

Suddenly, she swung her sword through the air.

**BOOOOOM!!!**

A wave of white energy erupted from her blade, tearing through the ground and sky. The sheer scale of the slash was terrifying, stretching for miles, the shockwave alone could flatten a country.

Aurianna was caught in it.

Half of her body was obliterated in the blast.

But she grinned.

Her body began to reform instantly, the rainbow light knitting bone and flesh back together like liquid magic.

Raising one hand high into the air, Aurianna yelled, "Shining Star!"

**BOOOOM!!!**

Thousands of magic circles spread across the sky. A blinding column of light surged downward, engulfing the area. The blast erased everything in its path, leaving behind a colossal abyss hole.

But Leila had already leapt clear, dodging each strike, her armor scorched but intact. Even if she wasn’t as fast as her sister, she wasn’t slow.

Aurianna charged again, sabers slashing at impossible speeds. Leila met every strike with her sword, the air between them howling with shockwaves. Sparks flew with every clash.

Then Leila charged and landed a heavy blow.

**CRACK!**

A gaping hole tore through Aurianna’s side. Blood, if it could still be called that splashed across the land.

Aurianna didn’t even flinch.

In retaliation, she spun and slashed, her blade digging deep into Leila’s shoulder, piercing through her armor and skin.

Leila grunted, staggering, but refused to fall.

Aurianna twisted free, leapt back, and snapped her fingers.

**FWOOOOOM!!**

The sky above shifted, and over a thousand high-tech cannons materialized around Leila in a perfect orbit.

**Boom! Boom! Boom!**

A barrage of of blasts rained down.

Leila spun her blade in tight arcs, deflecting blast after blast, laser after laser. Light and smoke filled the air. But still, she stood her ground.

Then Aurianna made her next move.

The sabers dissolved into mist, replaced by a sleek, glowing sniper rifle. She fired once, Leila blocked it.

Twice, Leila deflected again.

But on the third shot, Leila’s eyes widened. ’These shots... they’re different. Stronger. Too strong.’

She tried to block the next shot.

**SHATTER!!**

Her sword broke in half.
