The battle ensues, as Inoue mercilessly slash and strike Delfin, While Delfin is keeping her pace on defending and blocking, Inoue gains the upper hand in this battle situation, on the contrary to the situation of Delfin who is having a hard time to defend herself in those ruthless assault and attacks of Inoue, she was mesmerized in the Odachi blade that Inoue using, especially this blade that she have is very sharp and dangerous.
It was very deadly blade, much sharper than her wind blade wave, she can even see the cracks and wedged part of her violet Mistral scimitar, she felt irking in disappointment about her weakening state, how many moments she can last on, if she can win miraculously? Can she defeat a powerful and mysterious individual in front of her?
Regardless of the situation, looks like Delfin’s luck is almost running out, there isn’t available option for her to make any moves, risk is great, she is having a bad day or whatnot, while Yinhua is having the opposite of her, eating some food then sip some tea like a casual people who are just watching an intense fight like a movie or theatre.
“Seem’s you are becoming duller in our duel, hiyyaah!!” Inoue said as she charge her odachi to make a rising arc slash that cuts through the ceiling of the room, leaving a crumble of pieces of rubble and dust.
“Woaah!” Delfin dodges as she maneuver her whole body and make a back flip with her one arm.
“Slippery tick!” Inoue said as she makes a sliding dash and made a swift motion of slash.
“What the!” Delfin eyes widen in surprise in Inoue’s reaction speed.
Delfin got hit by the slash as the slash marks through her back, she was stumbled on the floor and gritting in pain, Inoue walks forward and then look to the frail Delfin as she move herself to stand, Delfin was shook and trembling, she already reach her limit, she felt that her veins about to pop up, as the sorrowful expression can be seen in her face as she witness the incoming death in front of her, Inoue, yet masked and unknown to her like Yinhua.
She felt fear as her body shrivelled, she want to fight back, but her body wouldn’t listen and head to her control, almost her time stopped, images of Sena suddenly formed in her front as she saw the slow moving of Inoue’s walk, although it was a illusion but still look real to her.
“Well, hello again, Delfin” Sena’s apparition talk.
“Se-sena?” Delfin replied in shock and bewilderment as she saw again her fallen comrade.
“I’m sorry that I failed my wish to fight by your side and survive this battle though” Sena said as she look to Inoue.
“T-that, is not your fault, we battle till the end, I’m totally happy even though we made this far, we face much worse than what we expected” Delfins said to Sena as she look to her right hands.
“Hey Delfin, are we strong?” Sena ask as she still staring to Inoue who is moving slow as she wants to land a killing blow to Delfin.
“Yes we are, but in this very wide world, there are many individuals who always surpassed us” Delfin smile as she saw Sena facing her again.
“I see, so this girl here who about to kill you is stronger than the three of us combine?” Sena as she looks to Inoue again with a smile can be seen.
“You can say that yes, these two intruder are powerful, I think they can take down our Leader Archmage Ditas in one go” Delfin replied as she closes her eyes and stand firm.
“You think so? Well you know, I wish you can join me again in a new adventure somewhere” Sena said as she glitters in light and turned into bubbles.
“Yes, you are right, I think I’m about to join you now and leave this cruel world of us” Delfin said as she open her eyes and returns to reality and saw Inoues blade approaching to beheaded her.
Delfin lower now her guard and dropped her purple mistral blade and accept her defeat, she then smiles as she welcome the approaching death that will succumbs her entirety, as the tears flowed in her eyes, this is the end of all, this is the time to rest, this is...
Suddenly a figure emerged at her front and stand at her side and blocked the hilt of blade which leaves a wind debris and pressure to their feet, She was dazed for a moment when the figure stand at her front appear all of the sudden in a flash, to her surprise it was Yinhua, that mysterious visor lady who just seated at the side while eating and drinking tea and watching her being pulverize by her servant , what the hell is she doing? Even Inoue was shocked to see her master stop the blade by her two fingers.
“You saw it right? You saw her? The figure of death and images of your fallen comrade?” Yinhua suddenly ask as she pressed her fingers in the odachi and break it into pieces like a shattered glass, creating a sonic dissonace screeching sounds.
“Ma-master, wha-what are you doing?” Inoue said in shock to see how her very durable blade was break into pieces as were it was like pieces of crackers.
“Do you see it too? But how? That’s not possible!” Delfin said as she surmises the events as she regain her concentration.
“Don’t underestimate my capabilities of detecting spirits and aura, when the two of you clashes, I saw in your eyes the presence of the afterlife event, in this serious case, you will look like losing hope and will to live as you face the apparition of someone important for you, like you can talk to them, this was the manipulation of our mind when we face death, like the time is been slowed in front of us until we face death and everything will be darkens, but as for you who manage to survive and live despite that you want to end yourself to die in shock, I manage to stop Inoue to land a killing blow to wake up your senses, seems effective” Yinhua said as she thought of something and then return her vision and point to the broken blade.
“Well this blade is very precious yet the materials is weak potential, I think I need to find more specific and powerful materials for this blade, gladly because of the dessonance, I made you awaken, thats good” Yinhua said as she stared down to the broken metal pieces of the blade she destroyed.
“That’s impossible! Breaking a metal with bare hands without applying magic corrosion? That’s lunatic!” Delfin said in shock as she witness the broken metal pieces falls into the ground.
“The world is very vast, and countless powerful people are scattered, hiding and travelling, as you can see, this is the true foundation of pure power, not fused in magic, but within our souls, Lady Delfin, didn’t you notice since the brutal fights we have earlier, even though you are in crucial situation that your body cannot do anything for you, you push yourself to exceed your limits, it is because of your passion, courage, strength of foundation of mind, body, and soul, and more importantly, a loving ones” Yinhua explains as she walks at the side and picked the cut and lifeless left arm of Delfin.
“Since magic in here gives possibilities to topple up the reality, that means the miracles are quite a feat in hear too” Yinhua said as she moves towards the two who still recovering from the shock about what happen to the powerful odachi that Inoue uses.
“Lady Delfin, it was an honour to fight such powerful mage like you, even though you use some underhand tactics with your comrades, as token of gratitude, I will heal your sliced arm” Yinhua spokes with sincere as she move closer to Delfin.
“Are you out of your mind? I’m your enemy, just let me die and everything will be fine!” Delfin said in deep anger yet confused expression.
“Master,,,” Inoue said in low voice as she keep thinking what is happening on Yinhua.
“No, it is not yet your time to die, your friend spoke to you as if she wants you to live and venture the world, and motivates you to carried her legacy because she wants you to finish your adventure and search for the lost knowledge that she will never reach and through you she is deeply connected and rooted, so don’t let her hopes down, you will survive no matter what” Yinhua said as she clinks the arm to the left shoulder of Delfin and muttered a special chant of the “Phoenix Fire Drops Technique” to meddle the cut and torn apart skin, blood vessels, flesh and bones from being cut and worn out earlier in their fight.
Sooner after so much agonizing pain the Delfin endure, her arm comeback to life and she can control it once again, she was so happy again that her lost arm back, she then look to Yinhua whose identity hidden in the visor with those confuse yet satisfied eyes, just what kind of person is Yinhua, she is not an evil nor good person like she is between dark and light side.
“Regardless the matter, I’m so indebted to you, but don’t think I just sliding this matter of my hand, you are still my enemy and you know it right?” Delfin said as she picks her purple Mistral Blade.
“Oh! before I forget” Yinhua ignores as suddenly thougth as she then move closer to Delfin and pressed her index finger on her forehead and muttered a chant, she then use her other hand to touch the healed slice arm of Delfin as she concentrates her energy through her fingers and allow it to flow the spots of her touched.
Delfins arm whole body glows in bright light, she felt intense heat and pressure flowing through her veins, lots of memories of Sena is surging to her mind, everything that is happening to her is being recorded to the brain of Delfin, after the light diminishes, Delfin regain her consciousness as she sweat heavily and panting, she then found out that her left arm is emitting electric pulse element, through her shock, she never anticipated this before, she manipulates the static energy?
The spells, chants, runic notes, magical casting and formulation of glyphs that Sena current practicing to master the Lightning elements is revolving through her mind and thoughts, she felt connected to the power and soul of Sena, the power she have is bursting forth through her left arm as it sparks and release a lighting blast to the ceiling of the room, she was totally shock about the sudden outcome
“This is…” Delfin was dazed for a moment as she regains her senses, asking herself why she can manipulate the lightning element even though she fully mastering the Wind element control.
“Consider it a draw, just for you, but for now, the monster is here” Yinhua said as she step back a little and look to the mutated plant that starting to buldge its body, and releasing some plant vines.
“I will not interfere in your fight, and leave you here for the sake of living for my dearest friend Sena, Greenie is very powerful, don’t think any parlor tricks would be easy to take her down, she is the most strongest captains of us five in here” Delfin warns as she leaves the two and Greenie’s mutated plant monster.

“Don’t worry about us, my master is very capable of extreme talent, this monster is nothing to us!” Inoue proudly said as she look to the mutated plant of Greenie.
“You should go now, find your new opportunity and achieved more knowledge without falling in evil; I guaranteed that good things and fortunes will rain upon your new conquest, oh! Chotto matte kudasai! Please take it with you as a farewell gift” Yinhua said as she tossed a small bag to Delfin which the latter catches and open it, to her surprise, the special materials for breaking through archmage level, high graded relic weapons along with Sena’s Electric Gloves, and lot’s of potions and gems are inside.
“Hey, this is too much, aren’t you considerate for this kind of special things?” Delfin replied as she put the gloves in her hands and other protective relics in other required part of her body.
“These things are nothing useful for me but just a disposal materials, on the counterpart, this things is needed for your new life and adventure, Lady Delfin, keep it” Yinhua replied as she turned her back from Delfin and them step forward as she summon her Naginata.
Inoue summons her sword wings along her broadsword and obsidian dark blade and then command it in sword formation array which Yinhua taught by her in their training session last time, Delfin on the other hand smiles as she leave the scenes and fate to the two, she can’t believe that she is still alive and facing such strange and bizarre people like the two, she then looks to her left arm and suddenly she hear Sena’s voice behind her ear and stopped.
She looks around for the apparition of Sena, but nothings appears, maybe she just having misheard something, but yet she feels that Sena is watching over her, Delfin smiles, and proceed her walk as she went outside and witness the falling grounds of the underground base which she was served before, she just chuckled and step on as she find her way out of the collapsing headquarters.
<<<<====/////░░░▒█▀▀█▀▀█▄▄▄█▀▀█▀▀█▒░░░\\\\\====>>>>
Meanwhile, Yinhua makes a martial form and start to activate the Chants of the “Seven Foundations Divinator Supreme Technique” as the seven spheres of element revolves around her, The spheres formulates and encircle her like an orbiting earth to the sun that revolving to its own axis, After she finishes the compelte chant that boost her whole body and element control, she then activates the Chant of “Heavenly Resonance Guiding Supreme Technique” as the five Chi prowess starting to flow through her body as it empowered the seven spheres.
Inoue was impressed in sudden powered up of her master, so this is Yinhua when she is fighting serious and all out, but Yinhua was not finish yet, she then proceed to unleash the power of the “Intent Chant of Four Divine Beast Ruler” as she connects their power within her soul realm and strengthen and boost her battle prowess and performance, she makes an intimidating aura and overwhelming presence, even Inoue can feel the pressure and intense power.
Inoue’s eyes widen as she saw Yinhua’s massive transformation, as the light imbued Yinhua, her whole body transformed, as the radiance glows in the whole room, Inoue shielded herself from the wind pressure that pushing her back from Yinhua, the current clothing that Yinhua used is being torn apart and disperse in the air, as she display her whole nudity with bewitching and charming allure.
“I, Huaban Yinhua, from Branch of Petal Family, bearer of the title of Mistress of Knowledge and Curator of War, being the guardian of the Great Dragon Dao Library, henceforth facing a mere insect who dares to stand in my path, shall perish before my feet and glorified my name, you were nothing but just an empty dust in the air, disperse from where you came”
“The dragon of heavens flew to the sky”
“And meet the little butterfly”
“from their stand, grows a tree”
“A perfect foundation of divinity”
“Answer my prayer, answer my call”
“Hence forth I summon you, Petal Fall!”
Yinhua finishes executing the chant formation as she performs a massive array of soul power around the vicinity of her area, Yinhua transforms, as she formulates her clothes and making the whole ground into brim of darkness, Inoue watches her master suddenly change, she even gulp an amount of saliva in excitement as she now witness the true form of Yinhua, a huge sakura tree arise from the ground and spreads it’s charming branches and flowers, Inoue was amazed and can’t stop staring at those beautiful petal falls.
Yinhua finishes her transformation as she now dressed in authentic long dress with magnificent linen silk, adorned decorations and with elegant metal regalia floating at her back, spiritual energy spinning around her in every different direction, Yinhua’s clothing produces a magical butterfly wings, Yinhua raise her naginata, at her back the four petals turned into huge fan and spread beautifully, butterflies start to flew in every direction and leading them to the fan.
“Master,,, amazing” Inoue can’t help being stare to Yinhua’s appearance, she is like a fairy with an ethereal beauty beyond compare as those silky dress she wearing are truly perfect fitted for her, even though her bust keep taking shape from bound of tightness, her high heels is so pretty gallant too, as they are looking perfect made and sculpted from gemstones as they shine and glittered perfectly.
The mutated plant produce some tiny buds as it release a smoke screen and covering the whole area of its range, Yinhua already knew what will happen next, as she deduct the next attack of the enemy, Yinhua command all the butterflies to move to the smoke screen, and the butterflies start to flew to the smokescreen direction.
“Inoue, there is no point in holding back, time to show what are you capable off!” Yinhua ordered as she chants for magic shield for the two of them.
“As you wish, my master!” Inoue obeys as she release her true potential and power, Inoue summons her Strange sword "Eien No Ten" as she felt somewhat anew to her new achieve power, this was so intense as she release a powerful pressure that almost match to Yinhua.
“You have improved, that’s a good sign, keep it up” Yinhua said as she felt the powerful aura lingers within Inoue.
“Thank you, my master, your servant do well to meet your expectation and training so hard and not dare to slack off for a minute!” Inoue replied with proudness in her face and boastful stature.
“I see, then let’s proceed!” Yinhua finishes as she flicks her finger, and from the smokes screen, explosions appears.
Because of the sudden high detonating explosion, the smoke screen of mist disappears as it reveals the burning vines of the plants that wants to get the two of them, lying lifeless and toasted in fire, Inoue shook in her master early advancing like she can predict what will happen to the future, looks like Yinhua is more than a woman that meets the eyes, she is truly a treasure of Lightenguard Kingdom, a rightful lady that has the acknowledgement of all Lords and nobles.
“Trying to do another tentacle vine rape, not a chance, you dirty sex plant, not tonight!” Yinhua taunts and made a funny face as she wiggles out her tongue on her enemy.
“Ehehehe, master, you are so funny, ahahaha!” Inoue laugh as she saw her master taunting face even in amidst of the battle, she can pull a carefree stunt for a serious situation like this, that’s awesome.
“My turn!” Yinhua said as she raised her hand with a fan and the four fans at her back shines greatly.
The fans release a barrage of laser like blast as it incinerate the poor parts of the mutated plant, as it’s flesh burns and starting to make a smoke from being toasted in heating plasma, Yinhua still firing it wildly while maintaining distance and keep a secured surveillance around her surroundings, she already know that her enemy is not just simple and looks like it is hiding it’s special and hidden trump card so she must be careful.
“Inoue! Give a poweful blow at the trunk, ten seconds on count, be careful in steps and watch for the vines, seven seconds ons truck and immediate retreat, now move!” Yinhua ordered as she start thinking what will be her concrete plan to destroy this huge living thing in front of them.
“Yes master!” Inoue obeys and move so fast like a bullet grazing speed, as she reach few meters on count, she heighten her senses and follow her master’s instruction very well.
She struck a hard blow at the trunk, as Yinhua’s expected, vines are now chasing her, with the capable of three seconds mark, Inoue dodges and outran the pursuing vines, Yinhua launches another swarm of explosive butterflies to the mutated plant, as the butterflies proceed to their target location, Yinhua launches another laser blast coming from her four huge fans in her back, after a few successful explosion and blasting, Yinhua orders again Inoue to launch an assault as she made a cover fire for Inoue.
Inoue commands her sword wings to slash the impending vines as she made a series of slashes in every part of the mutated plant, even the plant monster who is growing at the side of the mutated plant that is defending is being takedown by Inoue’s broadsword and Yinhua’s explosive butterflies or her laser like blast special fan array, because of their synchronized and simultaneous combo coordination, their attack lands a successful hit.
“This is the end!” Yinhua raised her Naginata and the Sakura tree release a numerous petals that turned into swords and Yinhua commands it to point on the mutated plant.
“Master allow me help you, Celestial Ultimate “Soul Blade Of Divine Sky “ go!!“ Inoue roars as she summons a countless swords around her and followed the pincer direction of which Yinhua’s pinpoint target.
“If that’s is your wish, then do what is must” Yinhua replied as she signals her blade on release as it starting to dashing through the winds and speeding up for a piercing stab to it’s target.
“Time to die, impudent insect” Inoue said with overbearing tone as she looked down to her enemy and signal her blades to release, following the swords of Yinhua to pierce her target and take it down once and for all.
Both master and servant release their ultimatum of unstoppable raining sword arrays as it pierces the mutated plant along with the bud which Greenie resting off, it was a total massacre and blood hell, as the blades keep piercing and some of it are able to pierced through to the plant, even the vines and plant monsters are effective less to defend it’s trunk, one by one they are both down by the unstoppable force of speeding and dancing blades.
