What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?

(Lian Li POV)

I deflected the multiple waves of meteors that were being thrown at me by redirecting them at my other opponents.

Unlike earlier where I could end all my fights in an instant, the people left in this competition were no slouches and could fight me evenly.

They either were really that good or they had been spending the last few hours observing me and learning how to counter me.

I manipulated the concept of space around me and deflected the multiple beams of energy blasted at me before blinking myself higher up into the sky.

Looking down at the three opponents below me, I struggled to think of a way out of my current predicament.

If it was only one of them, I could still possibly hold my own against them, but not when the three of them were working together.

For now, the only two choices that I have were to continue fighting defensively against them while hoping one of them would make a mistake for me to exploit, or else I could choose to escape from here.

The only problem was that neither of these choices would be beneficial to me, especially when Master was potentially watching me… There's no way I would show such a disgraceful sight to Him.

"Careful, we are dealing with a goddess here. Remember to maintain your domain to ensure her domain does not affect us!"

"Be careful of her lightning! The last one she fired had the concept of destruction behind it! Layer your shield against that as well!"

"Maintain your distance! Don't overextend yourselves!"

Why are all of you so annoying?! Everyone here was supposed to serve as our stepping stones to show off to Master! How dare you make things difficult for me?!

If I had my way with you… I definitely would skin you alive and cut off your fingers one by one!! Arrgghhh!!!

I fired another lightning towards them out of frustration, only to have them dodge out of the way and return my attack with energy blasts of their own.

Once again changing the concept of space around me, I blinked myself a short distance to the side from where I had been, avoiding all the attacks thrown at me.

I almost threw another destruction lightning at them but held myself back at the last moment.

That's not good… I have to compose myself again…

To show such an unsightly side of me to Master would be just as big of an embarrassment for me.

Remember my own training with Master… Remember His gentle words, His calm demeanour and His loving warmth.

Yes… I must conduct myself as befitting of Master's first disciple!

I focused my gaze on the three Origin Wielders again, this time more determined than ever to defeat them.

You are all nothing but my stepping stones, so start behaving like one!

I expanded my domain of Conception once again, focusing on gaining control over this space.

"She's using her domain again! Break it, hurry!"

My brows furrowed as those three meddlesome idiots used the power that they undeservedly gained from Master to try and dismantle my domain.

I strengthened my will and demanded the space to obey me.

Unfortunately, the three of them proved to be too strong for me and my domain was quickly shattered once again.

Truly annoying.

As Muon and Lilith had warned me, our domains were pretty much useless against Origin Wielders especially when they are prepared to defend themselves against it. But that doesn't make me powerless.

They may be able to break my domain and prevent my power of Conception to affect them directly, but as long as I materialise an object and clad it with the concept I wish, then I can still affect them indirectly.

Like my lightning that I had been enhancing with the concept of absolute destruction for one.

But as they had shown, even if I were to fire my lightning at them like that, they can still avoid it easily, all three of them being able to think and act faster than lightning itself.

I did not want to show my trump cards so early especially when I'm saving them to deal with my sisters and Brendan later, but I suppose I will need to show at least one now or I may risk losing to them.

This was something I had prepared in the event I was facing off against Manami, where I would alter the air around a certain area to form into Divine Clouds that would have the concept of destruction imbued into them.

They will then fire destruction lightning at my target continuously from every direction, so even Manami would be hard pressed to defend herself.

With this, if Manami were to create a star to try and burn me, I would be able to destroy it before she can fully materialise it.

Alright… I shall use that trump card of mine right here. Rejoice, for you have actually forced me to this stage.

I took a deep breath and tried to breathe out to relax myself, only to suddenly have the wind knocked out of me when one of the Origin Wielders had blinked forward to punch me in the abdomen.

Intense pain wrecked through my body as my vision blurred, only to refocus as I crashed back into the ground.

"Piyaaah!"

A weird sound reached my ears, only for me to realise that the incredibly embarrassing sound had come from me.

I rolled onto my feet, looking down at my hands in shock.

Did I… Did I really just let out such a sound? That incredibly unladylike sound? Which was most definitely heard and seen by Master no less?

How dare you… How dare you?! HOW DARE YOU?!!

What if Master starts hating me because of you?! What if I lose the number one disciple spot because of you?!!

Absolutely unforgivable!!

I reached out my hand towards them, willing the concept of absolute death to befall upon them. Something as unforgivable as this… They must not be allowed to exist anymore.

"Strengthen your domains! She's trying to crush us with it!!"

Crush you? Oh no, no, no… I will erase your very existence with this… I will END YOU!!

DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!!!
