Chapter 203. Death Empress vs Demon Empress. (2)

*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG*

Spatial rifts appeared around, followed by an extremely loud explosion. There was a humanoid, winged creature receiving sword strikes that carried enough strength to crack space around, blasting it flying without control.

If you observed closely, the powerful sword strikes cracked her armor as cuts appeared in the unarmored parts. And even when the humanoid, winged creature was blocking some of the attacks, the attacks were increasing in power and were almost unavoidable, injuring the female Demon badly.

The attacker, Tatyana, used her powerful Death and Fate laws with her sword strikes, making it more difficult for the Demon Empress to regenerate herself. After getting thrown around like this, the seeping Death attribute made her more sluggish and worsened her injuries. However, if you looked at the Demon Empress, her face wasn't worried but mostly annoyed.

Nonetheless, the Demon Empress was becoming a little restless as more time passed without being able to break Tatyana's combo. If she were on the same cultivation level as Tatyana, she would be almost defeated by now. 'I have to stop this! I will try to break her connection with fate for a single moment, that should be enough.'

The Demon Empress was having so much trouble with this because Tatyana's sword strikes carried Death and Fate laws, altering fate itself to make them land no matter what the Empress tried, and carrying an overwhelming death attribute, damaging the Demon Empress continuously.

Suddenly...

*SLASH!*

Blood poured everywhere as one sword slash separated one of her four wings from her body! The pain attacked the Demon Empress's brain and made her realize she was in a worse situation than she thought. The pain, even if it was extremely high, only made the Demon Empress grunt. As time went on, she felt the Death Energy killing her inside out.

However, it wouldn't be that easy.

During this time, the Demon Empress had been gathering energy, and now it was time to release it. The Demon Empress' aura swelled and exploded, "ENOUGH!"

*BOOM!*

The aura explosion hit Tatyana just as she appeared beside the Demon Empress. Moreover, just before that, Tatyana felt her connection with fate being cut for a moment. That moment was enough for the Demon Empress's aura to hit her squarely without letting her time to protect herself.

Tatyana felt like a steel wall slammed her with trampling might and was blasted away, stopping her combo attack. Tatyana flew for hundreds of kilometers until she managed to stop the momentum around her. As her red imperial dress fluttered with the wind, a small trail of blood dripped from the corner of her mouth. Tatyana used her hand to wipe it as she looked at the Demon Empress with indifferent eyes.

The Demon Empress's aura explosion was so powerful that it interrupted Tatyana's fate-altering skills for a moment, making her receive her attack head-on and without protection. So even if she seemed outwardly fine, that aura blast had turned her lungs, stomach, and other internal organs to mush.

Tatyana's expression was serious as she looked at the Demon Empress. 'Her raw strength overwhelms me… Thankfully she is quite average in strength for her cultivation level, or my chances of winning would be even slimmer. A single attack without protecting myself and my internal organs are like this...'

After receiving Tatyana's combo attack, the Demon Empress had a battered body with countless cuts on her armor, body, and even some slashes on her beautiful face.

The slashes were black-colored and pulsated, showing that the strength of Tatyana's Death-law was extremely high even for someone at her level. The Demon Empress looked at Tatyana with rage, 'Such a blunder, this happened for underestimating her. If I didn't have previous experience fighting against fate-attributed experts, I would have been in danger.'

The Demon Empress looked at Tatyana and said with anger in her voice, "Good, very good, Tatyana. I was going to kill you, but I changed my mind. I will make you the eternal plaything of my army. Your holes will be filled and full all day long for the rest of your life with demonic flesh!"

Tatyana smirked and said, "Even if they are filled, do you think that a disgusting demon cock can satisfy me?"

Then, as if that phrase was an important realization, Tatyana said with fake worry, "This is bad; if I fall into your hands, I may be unable to orgasm for the rest of my life…."

The Demon Empress' veins almost popped out of anger. However, then she smiled fiercely, "I will see what you will say after your daughter also joins you. Do you know what I commanded to do to all the demons that entered the secret realm?"

Tatyana's expression disappeared as she looked at her. The Demon Empress laughed as she said, "Children of a dragon of her bloodline level should create quite strong demons. Don't you think, Tatyana?"

Tatyana's aura began swelling as her voice was accompanied by a phantasmal tone that sounded like a whisper and a lament at the same time. This made her voice sound extremely ominous, "You've been provoking me again and again; if your objective was to make me angry, congratulations. You've done it."

Tatyana's face turned cold, and her eyes began glowing crimson, and she chanted. "[True Aura Assimilation: Eternal Energy siphon]."

Her aura manifestation exploded and sunk in her, making her aura even stronger. Then, even the hair of the Demon Empress moved toward Tatyana as a literal hurricane of energy rushed toward Tatyana, drying the surroundings of it. The Demon Empress's face became solemn, and she used a skill to regenerate her wounds and expel the damaging Death Law inside her before charging toward Tatyana. She wanted to be in top condition before stopping whatever Tatyana was doing.

Tatyana's red dress weaved around imposingly as she called for her other summons that were waiting for her orders. "Ying Yue, Hui Zhong, Lauren, protect me. I'm summoning him."

The ones who appeared were the [Undead Empress], [Undead Emperor], and [Undead Grand Marshal]. They looked at the Demon Empress, who was regenerating her wounds. They had been watching the battle and didn't interrupt to analyze her as much as they could before their Empress called for their aid.

Then, they communicated in an instant that was too short to even perceive. Ying Yue said in her ethereally beautiful voice, "Empress, we can only stall her for so much. How much do you need to summon the venerable one?"

Tatyana said, "Give me ten minutes."

Hui Zhong frowned, "So little? Why so much haste, Empress? If you summon him so fast, it may damage you permanently."

Tatyana took a deep breath and relaxed; she had become a little angry with the Demon Empress's previous statement and said. "Then, give me one hour. Although I will still damage myself, I should be able to heal completely in two or three years. Can you stall her for so much time? I was creating a formation before, so Ying Yue should be able to use it to let you three stall time."

Lauren, the [Undead Grand Marshal], who was clad in a full body black dragon armor, said, "We will do our best for the Empress. Just focus on the summoning!"

Tatyana nodded, and time began ticking again.

Suddenly, the Demon Empress saw with wide-open eyes as that hurricane of energy rushed toward Tatyana many times faster than before. Tatyana's aura swelled exponentially, surpassing hers in quantity, quality, and pressure. The world was literally trembling before Tatyana's presence, and even the Heavens were gathering Tribulation clouds on top of her. The thing Tatyana wanted to summon was that powerful. However, Tatyana ignored everything as she continued gathering insane amounts of energy.

Until now, the thing the Demon Empress lost compared with Tatyana was only quality of cultivation, so she wasn't too worried and was confident in defeating Tatyana. However, with this amount of aura release coming from the Death Empress, the Demon Empress realized that if she let Tatyana finish whatever she was doing, her chances of winning would become extremely slim. The Demon Empress still had some tricks in her sleeves, so she was still confident that she could put up a fight and damage Tatyana grievously, but most of the superiority complex she had before disappeared.

Even if she didn't know what she was going to do, she wouldn't let her continue. With her wing already half-recovered and most of the important injuries healed, she charged straight toward the three summons. 'I will eliminate these three and force Tatyana to stop her energy gathering, a skill of that level should take between thirty minutes to one day, so I have time.'

When they saw the powerful Demon Empress charging toward themselves, Lauren's aura exploded, and an enormous portal appeared behind him. Through it, a twenty-kilometer-long armored black dragon appeared with a roar that shook the heavens. It had ghostly green eyes and was extremely bulky. Its armor was filled with pointy and sharp edges in places it could attack with, like the claws, horns, tail, wings, and shoulders. Lauren mounted it and charged toward the Demon empress with a three-meter-long lance in hand. "[Phamtom Dragon Ride]."

When he used the skill, a phantom image of himself, proportional to the dragon's size, appeared, mounting it on its back. The lance he held was kilometric, making the Demon Empress appear like an ant before an elephant. This phantom image was physical and a carbon copy of himself. Moreover, it moved with him, making it possible for the colossal dragon and undead to attack simultaneously, like a true dragon rider.

The Demon Empress saw the enormous claw and lance coming toward her with calm eyes. She waved her sword, and a phantom sword of similar size impacted with both attacks in a catastrophic explosion.

*BOOM!*

The air rumbled as the Dragon and Man were blasted away by the tyrannical strength of the Demon Empress. The Demon Empress didn't even move in that collision!

Seeing such a small creature blasting a kilometric creature like that was impactful enough to shake the hearts of even the most battle-hardened warriors.

However, to the undeads of the Death Empress, it was insignificant as their whole being was dedicated to protecting their Empress even if they had to immolate their souls to achieve it.

Ying Yue wasn't deterred and was already beside the Demon Empress the moment she finished swinging her sword and trying to take advantage of the collision to attack. Ying Yue's sword moved swiftly toward the cracked parts of the armor and with enough strength to make space tremble terribly.

The three-meter-tall Demon Empress used her leg to kick toward Ying Yue.

*BOOM!*

Both of them were repelled, showcasing that Ying Yue had a chance to fight back. Even if the distance was extremely different, Ying Yue could at least hold herself against the Demon Empress.

Ying Yue and the Demon Empress exchanged attacks, but just ten seconds later, Ying Yue began being overwhelmed. It was Hui Zhong's magnetic voice that sounded at this time, "[Emperor's Legion Summoning]."

Countless black cracks appeared in a 1 000 km radius, but nothing materialized from them. Then, Hui Zhong charged toward the Demon Empress to take Ying Yue's place.

The Demon Empress felt him and the dragon-riding undead coming toward her together. A powerful sword strike from Ying Yue made her lose balance for a slight moment, and the other two took the chance to attack. An enormous lance and powerful black sword came from her two sides.

However, the Demon Empress snorted with disdain. Her sword gained a corrosive aura as her speed increased in an instant, appearing as if she became two people instead of one.

*BANG!* *BANG!*

She repelled both attacks simultaneously. But her face didn't relax as she felt a dangerous energy wave coming from her right.

*RROOOAAAR!*

It was the armored dragon breath attack! From the dragon's maw, an enormous energy beam reached her side almost instantly, and she had no other choice but to use a defensive skill to block it. A green dome that dwarfed the dragon appeared around her in an instant. The breath attack collided and bent the dome inwards, cracking it badly.

The time the Demon Empress used to defend against the dragon breath attack left enough time for the two undead summons to recover their stance and launch more attacks, keeping the Demon Empress occupied.

While they were holding back the Demon Empress, Ying Yue had been gathering energy. Her ethereal voice echoed around like an enchanting spirit. "[Empress' Legion Summoning]."

Lauren ordered the dragon to tackle the Demon Empress, as his giant phantom also attacked.

The Demon Empress turned toward the colossal dragon and counterattacked, sending a green crescent that impacted the dragon's chest and creating a gash that corroded a big part of the creature. The dragon cried in agony, but it managed to maintain its standing place to let its rider attack with a powerful lance strike. The Demon Empress used her intact three wings to block the lance tip.

*BANG!*

The Demon Empress couldn't take this attack as easy, and she was blasted away by Lauren. This created enough time for Ying Yue and Hui Zhong to activate their combination skill, "[Regal Death's Procession]."

The black and green portals fused, and from them, countless undead dropped like rain from the cracks, filling the sky with different skeletal creatures. As the Demon Empress regained balance in the air, she saw a green aura explode from Ying Yue and a black one from Hui Zhong, covering the whole army that was dropping like rain on autumn.

These two auras combined and strengthened the summons and gave them the ability to fly, creating an enormous dome around the Demon Empress that was filled with undead of different sizes, strengths, and forms.

The Demon Empress looked around at the army surrounding her with a disdainful expression. "You are sending this trash to attack me? Foolish creatures! Let me show you how meaningless it is."
