Chapter 97 Dark Elven Guests
"Since you don't want to share, I won't force you then. Let's end this by both going all out?" Enigma closed his eyes while regulating his breathe. Bright light burst from his body and obscuring his true figure.
Within the light, Enigma's body glowed like a light bulb, but his tied up long silver hair spread out and began glowing brightly, like the glow of a supernova, making him look Supreme and Sacred.
[Transcendental Bearing(Unique) - Using Source to shape oneself into the image they deem sacred and celestial. Within this state, regardless of who or how many, as long as they are within the same realm, will always be below you. 50% Immunity to stronger Being's powers and influence]
"...."
The beggar gazed up at Enigma like he was looking at a monster. He couldn't help but retort to himself, with bitterness and unwillingness within his heart;
'You're kidding me right? I've been going all out here, and you've been holding back? You don't really expect me to manifest my domain and destroy this entire Continent do you? You can't really bare the wrath of my identity!!!'
Regardless of that, manifesting his domain or his true identity or his true body were impossible for now. He would have to just admit defeat then. But not after a stubborn fight, "You impudent brat!! You weren't born when I started killing and destroying, what gave you the cour—"
Enigma swept his hand before himself, creating a powerful gale, capable of pressurizing space itself that cut off the beggar's words. "Like I said, let's end this senior."
And just like that, another great battle began.

Sion and the others flew threw the 500 mile range at constant speed, appreciating the view of the sorounding landscapes. Due to this, the time it took for them to reach the designated area was increased from a few minutes to slightly over ten minutes.
But the three girls did not regret it. The sorounding landscapes of the eastern hemisphere of the World Forest were quite artistic. There were not a lot of trees around.
The place was just open, vast and free, with springful breeze and a grassy scent. The mountains were situated at the edges, and the space between was only free, with few trees here and there.
The peacefulness was broken due to the battle earlier, thus there were no beasts nearby. In fact, aside from the three of them, there was no other Beast within a mile radius.
"It could've been more beautiful with the beasts though." Sion thought out loud while looking at the picture square scene of Nature at its fullest, without the tainting of human hands.
"Agreed." Both Soquel and Sear agreed as they flew after her in silence. In no time at all, they managed to reach a tall mountain that was out of place.
Unlike the mountains at the edges, this one started at the middle of the plain, and spread out on both sideways as if creating an isolation ground. From up above, the mountain looked like a large donut, with a large area of space inside.
With one glance, Soquel, who was good with geography could tell that the area within was probably not any less than that of the area outside.
It was as if space was tinkered with, as the area there, was quite large, despite the mountain seemingly small. But no one would know unless they jump in.
"Tall..." Sear murmured as they gazed up at the mountain that reached halfway through the sky. It had to be known, Terra was probably a large celestial body within the universe.
Just the distance between the sky and land was as great as millions, if not billions of miles away. The mountain was one of a kind to be as tall as more than a hundreds of thousands of miles. But compared to the rumored Mother Tree, it was just a child.
Perhaps Allen was not the only one with a horrible sense of direction. For it was strange how Enigma crossed something so grand without even realizing it himself. Unless he initially fell within the mountain.
"Soquel, we'll have to rely on you from now on." Sear turned to look at Soquel. Soquel did not reply and instead flew up and led the way. The other two looked at each other and soon followed after.
[Earth Detection(Extra) - User can sense the presence of earth and other "earthen" elements and possibly gain detailed understanding about the Earth they are sensing, including the amount/size of the earth they are sensing and whether it is hidden]
This was one of the few Extra skills of Soquel. There were originally far less, but after Enigma's Blessing, one of them advanced to Unique while she recieved yet another two Extra skills.
Even with their speed, it still took them a couple of minutes to reach the top of the mountain. This amount disrupted their schedule. And the only thing they could see was endless white of snow and mist.
But they were unperturbed, they didn't even check out the area before they flew forward. The distance that seemed small to cross, actually took them a few more minutes to fly through at full speed.
"...This looks tougher than I thought it would be. Almost an hour of flight, and we just reached the edge of this place. There's a lot of Space particles around here." Sear commented out of genuine confusion and resentment.
"I'm not surprised. All together, we've crossed billions to trillions of miles within this hour." Soquel said without even looking back. Her gaze was directed at the beautiful area of green, spring and autumn below them.
She further added on after a brief pause, "And instead of complaining now, I'd do that after we've crossed another couple billion miles of distance going down and a few more before we reach that small village right there."
Her words were not targeting Sear, or teasing her, but were genuine as the Space particles and elements within, were more thicker and concentrated than above the mountain.
It seemed like a powerful powerful was responsible for this, or, maybe this mountain itself was far more special than it seems. To the point of being considered a pseudo-wonder.
"Even if you make it sound close by, it's still a billion+ miles away!!" Sear retorted with all her might. She was starting to admire Sara's decision for staying back.
As for poor little Sion, her eyes were bleak and hopeless. 'At least, this is all for Enigma. I'm doing this for the young lord, yes, for the young lord.' She hypnotized herself, and it worked.
Meanwhile, back at the village, Lulu sat at her throne all by herself. When she became a Chosen, she had gained two new Unique skills unlike Soquel.
Her Extra skills were now ten or so, and Unique skills were three. And as her potential increased, she could now carry more Extra and Unique Skills than before.
As for the new skills, one of the Unique skills was one that allowed her to send and recieve information through trees, plants and shrubs. Any greenery part of nature.
Unfortunately, the range was only within the area around the Green River and the Great Mountain. But today, for some reason, trees even tens of thousand of miles away were quite uneasy.
Even the birds and other lifeforms of nature had went into hiding. Even for herself, she could sense the aura from far away. One that was no different than hers, worst of all, they were three such auras, which was why she was having a headache right now.
Throughout the week of the battle, something strange occurred. The Great Mountain had I creased in length and thickness, as if to protect everything within from the battle.
The residential power from the battle almost 2000 miles away, was quite devastating after all. So the action was understandable. But the problem was, how did the Great Mountain do that?
It had to be known, despite being just a greater deity, she had far greater strength than just a greater deific being. But even she could not discern anything about the mountain.
But she did not put much focus into it. Another terrifying problem was now arising. And even as powerful as she was, Lulu still had a headache coming because of it.
The current her felt like she would not lose easily in a fight even against Nature Goddess. She had as much as 17 Planes within her Inner Realm after all. And more were still being birthed.
But she would still lose due to the realm suppression, but not after a hard and bitter fight. But now, all of a sudden, three pressures that are no different than hers were coming towards them?
"And they'll be here in no time at all." She sighed and stood up to head outside. Throughout the way, she met a lot of "temple maids" and "temple guards" who greeted her respectfully.
