The Form was the most powerful trump card that every creature had, especially the Fifth Chronicle ones, as their Beyond and the Form became one.
In most fights, the proper use of the Form, at the right moment, could completely change the course of the battle. So, very often, fighters used their Form only in the most critical situations, as this trump card cost a lot of energy and strength.
If a fighter used his Form, then after a while the one would be exhausted, so great power was given only for a certain period of time.
Also, many people did not want to use their Form too often, so that their opponents did not know about their strengths and weaknesses. Progenitors, on the other hand, only used their Forms when fighting against opponents equal to them.
Polosa would never use all her trump cards against someone weaker than Sven, and neither would he. With such strong fighters, the Form had a different meaning than those who had just revealed their power.
When persons first unleashed their Form, they wanted to use it as often as possible to better experience their power as it was an achievement for them.
However, for those who were in the Fifth Chronicle or Transcendence Stage, the Form had a different meaning. If they used their Form during battle, it meant that their opponent was strong enough and they were in a deadly situation.
Thus, what Liang had just done could easily be considered as an insult towards Nitra. She had raised her power to 100%, and used her the Form, it was putting her body under serious pressure.
She had no more than ten minutes to use her full power after which she would struggle to even move around for several hours.
"Hey! You promised! Quickly use your the Form! I want to see it!" Nitra exclaimed, with puffed-up cheeks like any resentful girl.
"Hah, do you really think lying to someone like me isn't acceptable? I tricked you!" Liang smirked, echoing his joyous laughter throughout Zero Area.
"You!!!" Nitra clenched her fists tightly as the space around her trembled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLiang smiled predatorily, "Come on. Didn't you just become significantly stronger? I'm not refusing to show you the Form, it's just that you'll have to make me use it. If you can't, you have no one else to blame but yourself." novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet
Nitra frowned, "Fine, in that case, I'll do it in the most painful way possible! You'll remember not to cheat on me!"
Then, Nitra gripped her spear tightly, tilting her body backward and staring intently at Liang.
The lightning dragons continued to swirl around her, and at her will, they headed towards her hands. The dragons became much smaller, condensing their energy to become like a piece of armor, protecting her arms from her wrists to her shoulder.
As it did, each dragon constantly infused her body with energy, allowing her to fight at her peak, every second, until her body could no longer withstand the pressure.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Discharges of lightning traveled down her spear, causing a powerful shiver in the air.
"Well, well, this looks powerful. Go for it! Surprise me!" Liang confidently said while pointing his sword at Nitra. Her muscles were strained to the limit, so her spear throw must have been incredibly fast.
The Guardians were puzzled, they didn't expect the situation to suddenly change like this.
"So... Are we allies now? We are now siding with the Nameless King?" One of the guardians muttered in confusion.
"It seems like but... Liang killed one of us...? Shouldn't we take revenge?" The man uttered with a great frown.
"Khm!" The man with a bushy beard coughed, drawing attention to himself, "Ynez was the one who was responsible for this mission. She understood the risks as well as we did. We watched and tried to control Liang, The Strongest One, so we knew what the consequences could be."
The man continued, "Every one of you is the smartest and most experienced Construct. Surely you realize that there is no point in retaliation in such a situation because both sides have the right to anger. In fact, we are fortunate that Liang was reasonable. Moreover, he is right."
"Hm? What do you mean?" The woman crossed her arms over her chest, staring at him intently.
"If we actually become allies, or at least partners, then a few worlds will be more than enough for experimentation. Also, obviously after their fight, we should spend more time studying the battles. As strange as it may sound, Mrs. Nitra was able to go through eternity in just a few hours. It's anti-scientific, but it's a fact." The man calmly explained.
The Guardians fell silent, contemplating the situation.
They were unhappy that Liang had killed many of their residents and one of the Guardians, but they realized that it was mostly their own fault.
Moreover, what could they do? Were they capable of defeating the one who was the strongest?
"I hope you don't die from this!" Nitra exclaimed, violently throwing her spear forward because of all her strength.
In a heartbeat, the spear turned into a dark flash, quickly ending up right in front of Liang. There was still a confident smirk on his face as if he had yet to realize what had happened and react.
However, as his pupils narrowed he quickly tilted his head, letting the black flash pass beside him.
Liang's gaze shifted to the side, looking at Nitra, but she was no longer where she had just stood. Then, Liang turned around sharply, realizing what Nitra was about to do.
Whoooooooooooosh.
Liang's eyes went wide when Nitra was right in front of him, and the tip of her spear was moving straight towards Liang's chest.
'I'll make you sorry for deceiving me!' Nitra exclaimed internally, launching high-powered electrical discharges along the spear.
Liang only had a few moments to react, otherwise, he might get seriously injured, but it was not a serious problem for him as his sword quickly came into motion.
At the last moment, he deflected the attack, and behind him the ground was covered in cracks, and ash was blown aside. Nitra's attack didn't hit Liang, but the power of its swing was enough to destroy something.
"Not bad. You've definitely become much stronger." Liang uttered with a serious expression. That look had only appeared a few times during their fight, and Nitra had learned to appreciate it. However, it wasn't enough for her now, she had to make Liang use his trump card!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"This isn't over yet! This is just the beginning and you better get ready!" Nitra exclaimed, quickly swinging her spear.
Then, the real hell began for Liang. Nitra was weaker than him in physical parameters, but considering how much energy she used, she was now superior to him, if only temporarily.
A hail of powerful attacks rained down on Liang, preventing him from even breathing. Nitra attacked as fast and as hard as she could. In one second, she attacked more than ten times, and Liang somehow managed to react to her every move.
"Damn... She's actually gotten stronger. In this shape, she can easily handle me, that's for sure..." Osvald muttered with a dazed expression. After all, even in the Transcendence Stage, some were stronger, and some were weaker. There was no equality anywhere.
"Yeah... Even though it's only temporary and her body is already starting to approach its limit, but it's actually impressive..." Marlis said in disbelief, then she looked at Sven and Wain, "Would you be able to handle her?"
Sven and Wain exchanged glances, then sly smirks appeared on their faces.
Wain replied, "Of course. I doubt I could have done it without my Form, though who knows... In any case, Nitra still has room to grow. If she were to face Arox or the Dragon Progenitor, they would destroy her. However, Liang can do that too, but it's already a non-lethal fight, so she's safe."
The Guardians were surprised, they had faith in Nitra but didn't expect her to become so powerful.
Alucard seemed to enjoy it the most. There was a fire in his eyes and a crazy smile on his face.
He enjoyed the fact that Nitra was suppressing Liang. This was an extremely rare scene.
"Hehehe, it might be hundreds more years before I see such an expression on your face. But what will you do? Will you remain arrogant or will you still show her your Form? Though then the situation will become quite dangerous for her." Alucard chuckled evilly.
Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.
Every time Liang repelled Nitra's attack, something was destroyed near them, craters were left on the ground, and even they were already covered in cracks.
'Hm... She's trying her best, but I'm afraid it's not enough for me to do it. Perhaps next time.'' Liang pondered for a moment before reaching forward.
Nitra's spear pierced his palm, as scarlet drops of blood rushed out, but Nitra quickly realized that Liang had done it on purpose since his sword was already bearing down on her.
