Chapter 55: Domain
"Your Highness Charlotte! It's dangerous!"
But Lupeta was not the only one who came up with this idea, since Charlotte walked steadily to the combat zone, while her guards did everything possible to stop her.
"I can't just stare while my older sister takes all the credit."
With those words, Charlotte ignored all comments and continued walking.
"That's how you talk my little sister! I'll accompany you!"
"Your Highness Carter!"
Charlotte's decision made Carter happy, he waits for the perfect opportunity to act as well, however, he was a little scared, but he could not abandon Arthur, only when Charlotte decided to help, he no longer doubted, is what he was waiting for, have someone accompany him.
Hatsumi opened her mouth when she saw these two crazy children, she thought that she was the crazy one for entering the disaster zone, but she did it by the system, now these two did it of their own free will.
(As you would expect from characters in a novel ... They are all brave!)
Unlike ordinary people, who when faced with a life-threatening problem, these children did not back down the way a fantasy character would.

* Bam
The disaster area continued to increase in amplitude, with Veronica and Beta fighting this was to be expected, what was left of the water park was destroyed as well. Arthur sighed.
His head ached, unfortunately, he could no longer activate Level Upper, he could only shrug his shoulders while he hid behind Lilian's back.
Since he came to this world, Arthur for the first time was doing what all men in this world used to do in these situations, hiding behind the back of a woman.
However unlike the other men, it is not that he lacks guts, he locked up a Transcendent so his guts are very large, but that he was weak and had no artifacts with which to defend himself.
"Nasty rats! How dare you oppose the royal family!"
Fortunately, Lilian's artifacts were limitless, so she kept the elemental rats out of the way.
However, what Arthur was surprised about was his cousin Ludi, he didn't know how she did it, but Ludi had pretty good luck.
(Is it her innate Ability?)
Arthur even began to suspect this, after all, Ludi was only equipped with a Legendary Artifact and the elemental rats couldn't even touch her, not to mention that her Artifact didn't have enough magic power like Lilian's or his own.
For example, a few seconds ago, Ludi was about to be stabbed, but by pure coincidence, what looked like a banana peel appeared on the ground, this caused Ludi to slip and the sword that was meant to stab her to be lost, but that It was not all, since the sword that could kill her ended up hitting another elemental rat, causing friendly fire, the enemies were falling by their own hands than by Ludi herself.
This was too strange, to be true.
But no matter if this was due to innate ability or something else, Arthur decided to entrust his safety to Lilian, who, unlike Ludi, was making full use of her artifacts and her innate ability.
He did not know how far this luck would take Ludi, but he did not believe it would be forever, so instead of relying on an unpredictable force, Arthur believes in his calculations, if Level Upper was correct, Lilian is the best option...
"This is getting complicated ..."
But everything has a limit, Lilian was going through a lot of pressure and was being overcome by the numbers, the same was happening with Ludi, the elemental rats decided to ignore her and focus on Lilian, thus causing the Princess to be on the ropes, no matter how much talent and how many artifacts she has in her possession if dozens and dozens of elemental rats pounced at once, Lilian would lose.
"Arthur! As promised, I'm back!"
But all was not lost, among the crowd of rats, Carter made the appearance of him, as well as Charlotte and Hatsumi.
The group did not stop and attacked the crowd of rats, reaching this point, nothing else mattered than to hold out for as long as possible for help.
"..."
With reinforcements on the way, Arthur smiled, likewise, he couldn't keep his eyes from staring into the distance.
(Cristie, Nora ...)
His two sisters hadn't appeared yet ...

<< Jump, Seventh Step >>

* CLANG
The fight between Beta and Veronica was reaching a climax, both of them were moving so fast that even the world around them seemed to have stopped.
Beta was kicking the void and likewise using her movement spell, the same was happening with Veronica.
The photon sword and a halberd faced each other, causing large craters, not to underestimate two Divine Artifacts, although they both belonged to the lower class, they were still powerful Divine Artifacts, whose power was dangerous even for a high-level Transcendent.
Fortunately Beta and Veronica mutually agreed not to fight in the area where Arthur was, Veronica not to harm her target and this could affect her mission, while Beta for the safety of her lord.
This caused their fight to be taken to the heights, to the limit of the barrier where without fear of disaster they launched their best attacks to kill.
* CLANG
Another shockwave devastated the area, unfortunately, Beta was most of the combat on the defensive, she is still a black core, even with the irregular core of her, she was still below a Transcendent.
"Hahaha I said it before, but a black Core is no match for a Transcendent"
And of course, Veronica was aware of this, she was a little surprised by the level of Beta's power, as expected of the strongest General, it was far above other black cores, we just need to see the state of CC-1 and her group, to know that they could not hold more than 5 movements of Veronica, however here was Beta, supporting each attack of her halberd with the least possible damage.
(Hee ~ but it doesn't matter, very soon this woman will fall and I will destroy her)
With how famous Beta is as well as the price she takes on her head, Veronica was more than pleased to finish off this Lady of War.
Veronica could already see it, without Beta the border will be a disaster, the Vampires will invade and the foxes will take a few years to recover, the best for these cunning foxes.
They deserve it for hunting their race ...
"..."
Beta didn't speak, but her mind was devoted to the fight and the enemy in front of her.
(More speed ... More power!)
Suddenly Beta's eyes shone, her hair turned crimson, her canine teeth lengthened, her tail and hair stood up like a porcupine, likewise, her white skin reddened, appearing various patterns in her body.
<< Blood Blast >>
Activating her innate ability, Beta entered Berseker mode, all of her stats increased by a large margin, as did her physical strength.
'Blood Explosion', as its name implies, this ability activates the magic power in its heart, pumping up to 100 times more blood, likewise its elemental core, it would go into eruption mode, giving it endless magic power for short time weather.
"... !!"
Feeling this explosion of power, Veronica couldn't help but open her eyes, this level of power was almost at the level of a Transcendent.
<< Jump, Eighth Step >>
<< 0.000000001 >>
* Bam
Sending shockwaves with her feet, Beta's speed increased sharply, with the eighth step activated, Beta of hers under her Photon sword.
* CLANG
"Guh!"
Again the sword and the halberd faced each other, however this time it was Veronica who was on the defensive.
Her hands shook as well, she was pushed back by force, but Beta continued her assault.
*Bam Bam
The incredible physical strength of her capable of knocking down a small mountain with one fist is no joke.
Veronica now understood why Beta was called the Crimson Blizzard, this Innate Ability was the reason for her nickname, her assault continued and multiple attacks, which did not let her opponent rest, was enough for Veronica to be overwhelmed, after all, it seemed that she did not was fighting with a person, if not a Beast.
Beta's speed was increasing, also knocking her down, but before Beta continued, Veronica's halberd caught on fire, which quickly covered the sky.
If she couldn't avoid Beta's assault, Veronica was going to burn her to ashes, unfortunately for Veronica, Beta was unfazed by this, and magic circles quickly appeared around her and the photon sword changed her color to white-bluish.
<< Polar Cold >>
The skies were filled with clouds and the snow began to fall, attracting the icy aura to the photon sword, the raging fire faced the snow, two opposing forces collided creating so that both parties shot out, falling from the sky.
* BOOM
"Curse!"
Veronica's face reddened in fury, she never thought that a simple black core would go to such extremes as forcing her to use her Divine Artifact and even reach a draw.
Veronica gritted her teeth, likewise rose again to the heights.
"I don't have time, I'm going to crush her in one fell swoop"
Taking down Beta took too long, at this rate the enemies from outside will open the barrier and it will be the end, without Arthur this mission was destined to fail.
Because of this, Veronica stepped into the air and likewise, her Spiritual core flashed.
<< Domain Extension: Infinite Darkness >>
* Bam
Beta stood up suddenly, even with the active innate ability of her suffered by the power of Veronica's halberd, she slightly shook her head and looked up at the sky.
"Not good!"
Seeing a shadow spread around Veronica, Beta tried to escape, unfortunately, it was too late, the darkness caught her, the extension of a domain was very fast and almost impossible to evade.
There was a big difference between a black nucleus and a Transcendent, but it was not only a great increase in magic power, there was something by which a black nucleus would not win against a Transcendent, this is due to the ability that they gain when they enter this kingdom.
The extension of a domain.
With the extension of these domains, the Transcendent were absolute kings, after all the domain is part of their being and it is also the materialization of their magical power to reality.
With a Domain, a Transcendent's attacks will always hit her opponents, in addition to having full control of the said domain, with all of his attacks and abilities receiving a drastic upgrade change to double or even triple power.
Due to these reasons, the black cores were unable to win against the Transcendents.
Even between a fight between Transcendents, the winner sometimes results in the one who traps her opponent in her dominance.
"Damn fox, prepare to die!"
With Veronica's voice heard in the infinite darkness, the pressure in the domain increased, the magic power turned liquid, and large amounts of black ink overflowed from the domain.
This time Veronica would no longer trust herself, her arrogance brought him to this result, if she were more careful, she would have stopped Carter in the tunnel, likewise, she would not be caught by the gravity bombs, if it were not for her excessive confidence, she would have stopped Arthur and Beta would not be summoned.
Veronica no longer wanted her arrogance to cost her victory on this mission.
"This time I will destroy all my power!"
Even a lion tries her best to hunt a rabbit.
<< Burial of Darkness >>
"Huuuu ~"
Sighing softly, Beta's hair and magic power returned to normal, she looked up from her, as gigantic waves of black ink threatened to swallow her.
"My lord Arthur ...."
Taking out a coin from her bag, this was an important Family Artifact from hers, as well as a memento of her mother.
Beta smiled and thought of her lord, just today she was hired and she was already facing a threat to her life.
However, this is what it meant to be a Lady of War, they would spend a lifetime with her lord and die if necessary, because of this Beta smiled as she threw the coin in the air, at the same time the elemental core flashed from her.
"I will borrow your strength, Lady Mother ..."
