Chapter 694 Congregation of the Divine Senses! Part 3
After saying these words, Alina began to grumble to herself as she observed the pristine white skin of the blond woman.
Alina took in the perfect appearance of this woman’s skin, along with the lines of power that subtly flowed along this body part. Her eyes then widened as she saw the well of power emanating from this woman’s skin, which released an invisible glare that almost forced Alina to closer her eyes shut.
"Hiss!!!"
Alina could not help but frown after observing this skin for a few seconds, as she could see that the skin was giving her more trouble than she expected.
"Just the robot and that fairy by itself are powerful enemies already, and then there’s this woman who’s giving me more headaches too. I mean, why would this woman have a Divine Sensory Organ while also being a Sixth Stage Being?"
"This is just so unfair, you know! It makes the feat of fighting you extremely difficult!"
Through the use of her All-Seeing Eyes, Alina could definitely say that her opponents are of high-caliber.
Each one of them possess abilities that only the elite have, and the killing intent on their bodies made it apparent that they will be extremely dangerous to fight against.
Because of this, Alina and her allies cannot slack off against this incoming trio, as being relaxed upon facing them will mean certain danger!
They have to be wary, or else they could die!
"Hm... as long as we give our all here, winning against the enemy is feasible. We just have to time our attacks right, and make them synch with one another..." With her mind certainly aware of the dangers surrounding her, the calm Alina talked to herself as she began to activate her abilities.
"Houm~"
Within her left hand, Alina slowly concentrated a large mass of her Mental Power. As for her right hand, she stored as many Time Essence and Dark Energy that she could inside it.
This storage of energy created a small maelstrom around Alina’s body, one that she ignored as she slowly brought her hands down.
"Huom~"
This deliberate hands-down motion of hers was attention catching, but it was what happened next that was more noticeable.
When both of her hands were already around her waist, Alina unhesitatingly grabbed her katana with both hands, and she then pulled it out of its sheath in one smooth motion.
This move allowed Alina to unleash a sword slash, one which she sent directly towards her target.
"Schwing~"
Alina’s Dark Energy, Mental Power, and Time Essence were fused with this sword slash, resulting in an attack that was infused with the concepts of Dark Magic, Space Manipulation, and Chronomancy.
Such combination created a brand-new attack that was never seen before, and it revealed itself in a way that shocked those who witnessed it!
"Schwing!"
Like a silent assassin that made its way through its victims, Alina’s sword slash created a crack that permeated through space, time, and dimensions themselves. This resulted on a creation of an empty, gaping area in front of Alina, one that engulfed almost everything near it.
This crack appeared to be both omnipresent and omniscient on the areas that it appeared, with its effects almost impossible to fight against.
"Swish!" Every objects, concept, and creatures that were touched by this crack were immediately shredded into countless tiny pieces, rendering intent destruction upon them. It was as if they were being pushed out of space, time, and existence itself, and those that tried to resist were instantly destroyed.
Some objects were flat-out disintegrated by the ravaging flow of Dark Energy while others faded under the presence of Time. Some objects were also compressed and stretched by Mental Power nearby, leaving them spatially compromised.
"....."
With such power released in this attack by Alina, this destruction obviously did not spare everything that it touched, and the ones who were able to resist it were only few.
"..."
Unfortunately for ALina, the blond woman, who was the target of this attack, had managed to survive from this onslaught.
"...."
This blond woman was sporting a large jagged wound on her left shoulder, one that almost revealed the bones and organs underneath it. Blood freely flowed from this wound, and the blond woman was clutching this wound with a contorted expression on her face, signifying the agony that she is going through right now.
This injury obviously made the blond woman weaker, but aside from this wound, she suffered nothing else.
All the other injuries that this blond woman had were minor wounds and scratches, all that seemed to just irritate her.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I already put a full power on that swing, and you still survived? Tsk, you really are as powerful as I expected..." Seeing that her attack did not work, Alina only sighed as she pulled her sword back. She of course did not think of stopping her attack, but she realized that she had to change her approach at this point.
"The combination of my Dark Magic, Esper Power, and Time Magic is still crude at this time, so the Dimensional Slash that I unleashed consumed a lot of my reserves. That means that I can only use this attack for a second time before I ran out of energy for myself..."
"...So basically, I have no choice but to hold back on using this attack, and I should only use it if I am sure that it will work..."
Alina was extremely proud in regards to the power of her newest ability, but seeing that its results did not end with the death of her target, Alina knew that she must adjust quickly.
If brute force won’t do, then maybe ALina should try defeating the blond woman in terms of sophisticated skills.
"Since this blond woman has the Skin of Omniscience, she could have used it to resist my attack. If that’s the case, then I must attack her in a way that will render her Skin of Omniscience useless...."
"But what kind of attack should I use in order to make her Skin of Omniscience useless?"
Alina bit her lips at this time, as she found herself at an impasse.
She might be confident about her attacks, but the power of her enemy’s Skin of Omn iscience proved to be so great this time, that Alina can only use all of her abilities if she wanted to win.
If Alina whatsoever holds back right now, her opponent will surely seize the chance to win, even though she had been injured at this point.
Such dilemma drove Alina to the peak of her irritation, to the point that she found it hard to even relax.
"Tsk, why do I have to face a Divine Sensory Organ holder out of all the people today? This just makes my situation worse! Tsk, If I just- wait, Frances and Queenie looks like they’re winning..."
Alina’s mood was a little down because of her failure to end her enemy, but after looking at her allies, Alina’s mood began to be uplifted once more as she saw their success.
"Hom hom hom!"
On Alina’s left side, the maniacal-looking Professor Frances was unleashing numerous soul-based spells in a row, all which are headed straight towards her android opponent.
Behind the professor, her mighty and upgraded Monster Army were attacking too, and they did not let the android get any wiggling space as they bombarded it with life-ending attacks.
The combination of the professor’s mysterious soul magic with the overall Sixth Stage Power of the Monster army has created an inescapable net against the robot, and all that the latter could do now was to fight back.
"...."
On Alina’s right side, the lethargic Queen Mother was also having an advantage against her fairy opponent, although the way that she achieved this was far from normal.
Instead of transforming herself into her World Tree Form or using her body to fight, the current Queen Mother only used plant-like whips against the fairy.
These whips might look weak at first, but Alia could feel the inherent strength hidden with each whip, which gets magnified everytime the tree woman sends them lashing forward.
"Smack!"
The power of these whips proved to be so great, that Queen Mother’s fairy opponent was forced to dodge each whip, as if she did not have any way to deal with them.
"...."
*****************
Alina was naturally pleased with the progress of both Queen Mothers and Professor Frances, and it easily dispelled her worries for them.
Since these two can hold their own against their assigned opponents, Alina had no need to observe them. She can just let them do what they want as she deals with her own problems...
Ceasing her observation on her allies might be repulsive to Alina before, but right now, she had no qualms with it, as she realized that all of her attention should only be focused against her current opponent.
For her opponent to survive her powerful attack is enough to merit Alina’s worry, and the fact that this opponent was a Divine Sensory Organ holder too just makes this a greater issue.
"Sigh... since my opponent has the Skin of Omniscience, this fight is bound to be a hard one. I have to perform my next attacks with both precision and accuracy, and I must not miss even just once...."
With her mind fully settled on her opponent alone, Alina let out another deep breath as she pointed her sword at her wounded foe.
She reignited her intent to fight, and this time around, she made sure that her next attack will not fail anymore.
"Prepare yourself, holder of the Skin of Omniscience. That skin might be protecting you today, but your defense will not last that long! Just you wait! I shall unleash an attack against you... that twill topple that stupid defense of yours!"
**************
The Divine Sensory Organs all held important functions on their own, with each one optimized to enhance the sense of their owners to the limits.
The All-Seeing Eyes allows its user to see thorugh anything, ncluidng lies, illusions and even the visions of the future and the past.
The Ears of Divine Communication allows its user to hear anything, including the emotions and thoughts of another person. It can also be used to know everything about the opponent, essentially predicting its movements.
As for the Skin of Omniscience, its capabilities were just as mind-boggling too.
The Skin of Omniscience displays all the enhanced capabilities that other Divine Sensory Organs display, which include increased sensitivity to touch and vibrations.
This increased sensitivity allows the Skin of Omniscience to detect any enemies nearby and see them before they could even move. This organ can also predict the movements of the enemies along with their abilities, making it difficult for anyone to just sneak attack the organ’s holder.
That latest feature makes it so that any holder of the Skin of Omniscience are hard to kill, as they could ’see’ the danger coming even from a mile away. In fact, out of all the Divine Sensory organ holders, it is the holder of the Skin of Omniscience that usually survives the longest...
But aside from an early warning system, the Skin of Omniscience still has another property that makes it useful for defense.
The Skin of Omniscience also forms a powerful armor that cover the whole body, and this armor is extremely tough. As long as the attacks does not reach the level of Half-Step Transcendence, the Skin of Omniscience can weather the attacks with ease.
Repeated attacks on the Skin of Omniscience can reduce the armor’s durability however, so its defense still can’t be trusted this easily.
But even if the Skin of Omniscience’s toughness will go down with repeated attacks, its initial toughness alone is powerful enough to tank almost anything, even a full-powered strike from a maddened Peak Sixth Stage Being....
"...."
This defensive prowess of the Skin of Omniscience was the sole reason why Alina’s attack failed against her enemy, which was obviously enough to irritate Alina.
Just this attack of hers took out a lot of her reserves already, and it actually did not work just because of the Skin of Omniscience?
There is no way that Alina can keep happy, especially now that her opponent was urging her to attack again.
