Chapter 202 - Siena's Strength
"Why are you staring at me with that face?" Siena was furious. Due to him, everything had become a mess.
"Is what he said true? Are you really that weak?" Davion wanted to confirm it from her own mouth.
"What weak? Although I may have just entered the Domain Realm, I can easily hold myself against a late-stage Domain Realm expert." She indirectly agreed.
Davion shook his head and suggested, "Little girl, how can you run away from home with your weak cultivation base? You should return back. I believe your parents might be worried."
"You.." She couldn't believe that he dared to belittle her in this way just because of her cultivation. Who did he think he was? A Saint?
Thus, she was triggered. So, in a fit of rage, she pulled his collars and spoke straight to his face, "You sure talk big when you aren't even any better than me. Furthermore, when I go all out, nobody here can be my match and that includes you."
"Humph!" She pushed him away and didn't say anything more. It was useless to argue with him any further. However, his next words flared her up again.
"Did you think that I would believe this bullshit?" He mocked her.
"You are really getting on my nerves. Tell me what you want?" She guessed that he must have some reasons to rile her up like this.
"Not any in particular. I feel annoyed whenever I think about how timid I acted when I first met you considering you as a Venerable stage expert. In the end, you were only someone who acted mysteriously like an expert using a fairy artifact." He thought for a while before replying. After all, he didn't have any grudges with this woman.
"Is that it? Are you even a man? How can you be so petty?" She scoffed in disdain and added a few more words.
"Besides, even if you knew my cultivation base, would it have changed anything?"
"Tsk, tsk..."
"You are too naïve. I would have definitely captured you the moment you exposed your beauty…hehe." He cracked an evil smile sending shivers down her spines.
"You rogue." She immediately backed a few steps away fearing that he might really strike.
Seeing this, he smirked, "Consider this as a payback for interrogating me yesterday."
"Damn, you are infuriating and have a twisted personality at the same time." She cursed.
"Whatever, I will leave you at that. First, we need to deal with them." He set his sights on Hector.
"What makes you think that I will help you? After all that you said to me." How can he still have the face to request something from her?
"Because you owe me one." He firmly replied, surprising her.
"When did I?" She was puzzled.
"It's when I was caught due to the red barrier you used not long ago. If you hadn't used it, we might have left this place already. So, you have to make up for it." He reasoned.
"Moreover, why do you think that they brought so many experts here in the first place? I don't think they need that many to take care of me." He had a serious look on his face.
"Are you telling me that they are here for some other purposes?" She understood something.
"Yeah, I believe it is for your fairy artifact. The golden light that fell from the sky earlier should be for this purpose. That's why there are no other options for you besides fighting." He explained.
"It makes sense." She nodded.
"Can you handle Hector alone? I remembered you saying that you could beat everyone here." He asked while taking out the sword given by her.
"I can." She also took out a sword similar to Davion's from her spirit ring. Nonetheless, it didn't appear in her hand but rather circled around her head. The other astonishing thing was that it began speaking.
"Siena, it's been a while since you used me." A childish male voice was heard from it.
"I had no other choice. This battle will be tough." She answered.
"Hehe, I am getting excited to fight. Let's cut everyone into pieces." The sword descended allowing her to hold it.
"Is this your fairy artifact?" Davion observed it carefully.
"No, it's my Natal Core Artifact that grew up with me from birth." She slid her two fingers throughout its surface giving chills to Davion.
"My God! Is she someone from the big clan?" He became speechless seeing her wealth. Not only did she possess the rare Natal Core Artifact, but she also had a fairy artifact that she hasn't exhibited yet.
"I will strike now. But what will you do? There are lots of enemies here. I can sense at least three late-stage Domain Realm experts except for Hector." She asked.
"Are you concerned about me?" Davion gave her a warm smile contradicting the wicked smile he had made previously.
"Keep Dreaming." She unleashed every bit of her aura causing the surroundings to look distorted and the temperature to increase at a rapid rate. In addition, it felt sharp like something poking at you from all directions.
"Isn't this sword intent?" He muttered. The last time he felt it was during his time in Mulberry City. A young disciple from the Divine Sword Sect had shown it. Nevertheless, it was too weak compared to this one.
Although this whole argument between them seemed like forever, it only took a couple of minutes. During this time, Hector was not idling around. He had signaled his troops to surround them from all sides and make preparations.
However, his expression changed at once when he sensed her sword intent. "She is a sword cultivator; a strong one at that too. Despite her puny cultivation base, her aura is somewhat comparable to me."
Next, he glanced at the merchants lying on the ground and kicked them.
"Ouch! Where am I?"
"Fuck"
"Those bastards are still alive."
Naomi and Logan woke up instantly and observed their surroundings recognizing Davion and Siena straight away. Also, they slowly recalled their memories. They remembered being abruptly struck by a ball of flames when running away from them.
"Are they your friends?" Hector inquired.
"How can they be? They killed our brother," Logan yelled in anguish. He didn't even bother to know who the person ahead of him was. Or you could say that he didn't have the guts to ask. The same goes for Naomi.
"Is that so? Then why did I see tons of pills in your spirit ring?" This was why Hector thought that they belonged to the same group.
"We bought them from him," Naomi interjected.
"Humm, it looks like both of you are of no use to me." Hector declared coldly.
"No, Lord. Let us live." They slammed their heads on the ground and started pleading.
"Ok! I will give you two a chance. Bring their heads." He commanded.
"I...," They swallowed their saliva and couldn't make a decision. They clearly knew that they were not their match.
"Why are you two looking scared?"
"You won't be alone. My guards will be following you." Hector didn't want to waste this extra manpower. After all, they had decent cultivation.
"We will do it." They stood up and took out their daggers getting ready to fight.
"Andreas, you will be joining them. Don't make rash moves. I want a clean victory." He reminded him.
"Yes." Andreas nodded with a heavy lance in his hands.
"Shall we begin?" Hector was about to raise his hand indicating his subordinates to strike, but he wasn't able to as he saw that woman making her move.
Two beautiful long wings made of white flames popped out from Siena's back and dangerous heat waves radiated from her. Then with the flap of her wings, she was propelled forward at the speed of light.
"Make sure you survive." She vanished so fast that Davion could only hear her voice.
"Back away." Hector jumped ahead and greeted her attack head-on.
"Clang"
The sound of two swords clashing was heard, and Hector could be seen smashed far away.
"Bang…Bang…Bang…"
Since the battle was occurring in the city, buildings after buildings were destroyed one by one due to his body. Only after being flung a mile away, was he able to resist the impact.
"Woman, you dare to sneak attack." He released his full cultivation and the flame particles in a mile radius started gathering around him. Thus, a gigantic domain made from golden flames came into existence.
To withstand this, Siena also did the same. However, her domain was far smaller than him, and it appeared white as it was made from her unique flames. Nonetheless, this domain didn't lose out to his golden domain in terms of power.
"It should be due to the quality of her flames being better than the golden flame." Davion understood it.
"Hehe, now it's my turn. I can't show that I'm weaker than her, can I?" He flew straight into the sky unnoticed since everyone was absorbed in the battle of Hector and Siena.
Next, he channeled a large part of his flame energy into the sword and slashed it down vertically with all his might.
