to understand why alexandra cursed a second ago, we must go back in time a couple of minutes, when she was still clashing with the genesis core of the fritz elder.

the male elder from the pleasure palace was being blocked every time he tried to either kill on of the three girls that were fighting him, or when he tried to leave to support the female elder.

he has tried everything so far, using his yang radiance to burn the women resulted in a clash between some kind of blue flames that came from the light blue haired girl, what surprised him more was that in a direct confrontation, his yang radiance which should be at the middle void manipulation level actually lost.

not only they lost but somehow, they became fuel for the blue flames that started advancing towards him creating a path through his radiance.

naturally aria was using rigel''s flames since she didn''t learn how to use yin radiance, she had her own reasons naturally, her ice fairy state used yin as fuel and it was way stronger than yin radiance when it came to enhance her ice, so there was no need to use a weaker technique.

also, her rigel''s flames might not be the purifying type like aster''s, but they kept the property of propagating by burning away what they touched, or in this case freezing away the yang radiance of the dual cultivation elder using his own yang as the fuel.

of course, it''s not like aria could do this infinitely, to use rigel''s flames one needed to consume soul energy after all.

after a couple of times of trying the male dual cultivator gave up in using his yang radiance, and instead tried to use his genesis core to force the girls to retreat, since each millisecond that passed, he felt the unsettledness in heart increasing.

but then he found himself with the ridiculous scene of his genesis core being punched away by the girl with silver hair.

''impossible, my bright flame core''s outer layer is made of concentrated fire spirit energy how can she punch it with her bare hands and not get burned or anything!'', he inwardly screamed.

he had no way to know that tiana had the innate ability of repel anything which either had spirit energy of was touched by her soul energy, she really didn''t punch the genesis core, but it looked as if that was the case.

the moment her little fist which was cladded in soul energy, that was invisible for the elder who only cultivated in the energy and body paths, touched the genesis core, the latter was repelled, including the flames, if tiana managed to master sense enhance to time her attacks like this, she''ll become the nightmare of any energy path cultivator, as their attacks will be pretty much useless in front of her, pretty appropriate for someone with an energy constitution like her.

as for the genesis core it was as if a gum ball was thrown around, the dull yellow sphere was smacked against the ground, maybe it didn''t cause that much real damage, but the sight of his core being so easily deflected took a toll on the mind of the elder.

still, it''s not like he was powerless without his yang radiance or his genesis core, he still had his attribute which is one that goes pretty well with his dual cultivation manual, fire that can be enhanced using yang energy.

"let''s see how you little bitches block this!", the dull yellow genesis core shone and became lively, the elder felt a bit of pain, he had a wild night with the female elder so he had already lost some yang, which he barely replaced thanks to draining the two women that he stole from the disciple that the female elder killed earlier.

so, with his "fun funds" spent, he had to put some of his vitality into it, but after seeing the blue flames of the light blue haired girl, he supposed she must have a decently pure yin, so he could always recover using her as a cultivation furnace later.

the genesis core then started radiating yellow waves of flames, the nearby ground became bright red and started releasing steam, the effect was slightly similar to the yang poison vivian once used to demonstrate her ability, but on a much larger scale.no?v(el)b\\jnn

the male elder expected to see the three girls suffering, maybe their clothes will burn to give him a nice view, before they surrendered to avoid the destiny of being boiled alive, but his smile froze as he saw a huge wave of water appearing out of nowhere.

no to be more accurate it was a wave of water of two different colors, one light and the other one was darker, there was a woman riding on top of the giant tsunami.

"nine sea sword, rising tsunami!", nerissa slashed frontwards and the giant tsunami clashed against the yellow genesis core.

for a split of a second steam was released and both the water and the flames exhausted each other, but then a mellow voice marked a big change in the situation.

a pilar of golden light raised from the ground all the way into the sky, this was aster''s strongest technique without using any of his special powers, in other words he didn''t use annihilation, nor the paragon body or anything related to that.

he used half of his reserves of spirit energy and his half step third level sword intent compressed into a single attack.

compared to that time he nearly blew away everything within a few dozens of kilometers back at esmeralda''s secret realm, he restrained the area of affectation but increased the power of the attack, resulting in a controlled explosion in the form of a pillar.

he reduced the amount of spirit energy but increased the strength of his sky rendering, even the sword survived with just a few cracks, and it wasn''t just because his swords had improved after the previous mission.

"this is better, my sword is meant to kill only my enemies and it should never negatively affect my family", mumbled aster, he was reckless when he used sky rendering back then, though none of the girls were in danger because he told them beforehand, the explosion resulting was out of his expectation, he even added annihilation to it after all.

that''s not the path he wanted for his sword intent, he already has i hard to suppress his violent impulses given by his dragon lineage, his sword must always obey him, if he wants it to kill it must kill, if he wants it to protect then it must protect, he was the one in charge not the sword.

and this is the change he managed to make to his strongest sword technique after seeing agnes''s third level intent, slowly but surely, he was polishing it and one day the mere sight of his sword will terrify his enemies but comfort his girls, that was the goal.

speaking of terrifying one''s enemies, the female elder was horrified, at this point she was burning away her everything, but the attack wasn''t ending, sure it has only been around a minute but a continuous explosion of this magnitude for a minute is ridiculous.

in fact, aster was as surprised as the woman, a nuclear bomb of 20 megatons produces a light flash that lasts around 20 seconds at most, so he has tripled that number at this point, as a proof of that wrinkles had started to appear on the face of the woman and her hair has also started to become white, she has converted a lot of her vitality in ying to reinforce her genesis core but was about to reach her limit.

"hey, let''s make a deal if you let me live, i''ll be yours, i promise i can make you feel really good, so don''t kill me", the woman tried to sound as gentle as possible, as long as she lived, she didn''t care who she had to sleep with, it was the same with the patriarch if she resisted his advances, then she''ll be ostracized and then maybe "disappear" in a mission.

just t be turned into nutrients for the patriarch''s cultivation, the same applied here, her body was her best weapon as she was able to gain the favor of the patriarch.

aster was about to slash his sword for a second time, if he didn''t want to test his adjusted sky rendering, he could have ended this fight with just one move of his sword, naturally that will leave him without any spirit energy left.

but then he felt his cute ice princess''s presence nearby and ha smile appeared on his face, even from afar the unmistakable sweetness of aria''s yin helped him forget the disgusting smell of the woman''s one.

aster snapped his finger and then aria who was gently carried by aster''s soul energy entered his embrace.

the woman who thought she had convinced aster of letting her live, and was proud of her charms, froze on the spot, that smile wasn''t directed to her.

aster didn''t even turn to see her; he just slashed his sword and not it only the sword broke but a wave of golden light was shot from it, this golden was different to the light pillar, not only it was brighter but the sensation was completely different.

the female elder felt a sensation of dread taking over her mind, she tried to run but her genesis core was still trapped within the pillar of light, the moment the wave of golden light touched her core, blood exploded out of her body.

her skin was blown away due to the backslash which is normal, aster''s technique had worn out her core already, and the moment annihilation touched it, it was destroyed on the spot, and the owner was hit with a huge reaction.

the elder didn''t even have time to scream her eyes exploded and she died, to be honest aster didn''t expect the reaction to be that gory, but he didn''t care, since he had the charmingly blushed face of aria a few centimeters away from his.

and this was the scene alexandra watched the moment she finished her fight, the sight of aster flirting with aria in the middle of a battlefield, a typical mistake of dual cultivators, who can''t control their impulses.

naturally she didn''t know that aria literally needed to be held in aster''s arms after using the special ice of her ice fairy form, so that she could ease her body.

aster who now carried aria in his arms flew towards the castle, the fights of the others should be finishing any second now too, so he didn''t need to do anything else, he won''t jump in unless the girls ask him for help, if not how will they become stronger, his job is to lead and care for them, not to prevent them from growing for auto satisfaction, not to mention he could see they were having fun.
