Chapter 1817: The Crimson-Haired Huntress
Benladra found herself cornered by the mysterious woman, someone that claimed to have come for revenge after Benladra and her family slaughtered "her boys" most likely referring to the thugs and bandits they had hunted.
"Is she really the boss of all those thugs?!" she wondered. "But what kind of ability does she have? She can even trap me within something... My mom is still fighting, as if unaware I"m away from her. This is odd!"
As Benladra struggled to realize what was truly happening and the nature of the powers of the red-haired alien woman, the woman walked towards her, pointing her rifle at her.
From within her body, a powerful crimson red aura surged, encompa.s.sing her entire body and reinforcing it with greater strength and power.
Her body grew stronger, faster, and more durable within mere seconds. She wasn"t just a mere Esper, but someone that had reached an even higher level of power and control over psychic powers.
"You"re a tough nut to crack..."
The red-haired cowboy woman walked towards Benladra calmly and composed, she smiled at the dragon girl, as she pointed the rifle at her.
"Well, I like having my fun."
BAAANG!
Another shot came forward, only a couple of meters away from Benladra! The girl rapidly prioritized protecting her chest and her head, encompa.s.sing herself with her living Domain, Starly.
FLUOSH!
Once the bullets of the rifle reached her, however, a huge explosion of crimson light and flames engulfed her completely, burning through her surroundings and everything else. BOOOM!
Starly, however, managed to protect Benladra even if her own ma.s.s became thinner and smaller, the living Domain quickly feed on her energies and regrew its gaseous body anew.
"An interesting little pet you"ve got there..." the woman smiled.
"Just who are you?!" Benladra asked, trying to protect the unconscious Emil at all cost. "How come mom doesn"t realize I"m away from her?! She doesn"t even realize we"re fighting...!"
"It"s part of what I can do," shrugged the woman. "One of the reasons n.o.body has survived fighting me ever since I awakened as an Esper is because of this ability. You"re within an endless cage made out of my own mind. You will never get out. The only way they"ll find you is dead, girl."
"So this is a Psychic Ability...!" Benladra thought. "Could it be some sort of domain that simply blocks our existence from the minds of anybody within a certain range? But even our presences and physical matter, even the sound we produce, everything is nullified and made completely invisible?! This Trial is going from pretty easy to super hard out of nowhere!"
FLUOSH!
Her entire body erupted with tremendous amounts of Holiness and Starlight Energies, transforming and then expanding into a huge domain.
"Hmm?!"
The woman quickly stepped back as she evaded the incoming light, pointing her rifle at Benladra and firing several bullets at her with explosive flames.
BAANG! BAANG! BAANG!
The bullets pierced through Benladra"s expanding aura and domain, but that didn"t stop her
as she quickly summoned dozens of miniature stars and beams of light, unleashing an all-out
magic attack.
"What kind of Esper Ability is this?!" the woman screamed.
"RAAAHHH!"
Benladra didn"t even respond, opening her jaws and releasing a blazing breath against her while she distracted her with her magic.
BOOOM!
"Ngh?!"
The woman"s entire body suddenly changed appearance as reflecting, almost transparent scales appeared across her skin, protecting her from the damage.
"This power is not... enough!"
With a furious roar, her crimson psychic aura erupted into the ceiling, transforming into
gigantic crimson spikes.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
