LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 1294: Emeraldine's Prowess
-----
Ching Xie's Earthen Palm was pierced by the Yggdrasil Arrow, which promptly reached his body! He shrank his staff and then made it giant, trying to evade the arrow by lifting himself up into the skies.
However, the arrow ended chasing him all the way up, ultimately clashing against him as he gritted his teeth in desperation, managing to unleash the power of Heaven.
"{Heaven's Fist}!"
BOOOMMM!!!
The arrow exploded, vaporizing his technique and then destroying the barriers of Earth and Sky he had created around his body, sending Ching Xie flying into the skies and then falling from above.
BAAAM!
"Ugh…!"
He groaned in pain, still alive. It seemed that his attack plus his several layers of defense saved him from being easily defeated, barely.
"Hahahahh…" he gasped for air while laughing a bit. "Amazing, Emeraldine! You're the real deal, aren't you?!"
Emeraldine only smiled at him, fully knowing that when she tried to speak, he didn't even let her, attacking her instantly.
He wasn't someone that let other speak, and when he spoke, it was to buy time, she noticed he wielded the power of the Earth and the Sky, creating a golden, spiraling essence that healed his wounds.
"{Spiritual Holy Yggdrasil Arrow Rain}"
She summoned a giant arrow made of holy Yggdrasil wood and fired it at Ching Xie at the same time as her divine spirits merged with it.
FLASH!
"Another?!"
He quickly jumped away from the way, only for the arrow to divide into dozens, then hundreds of them at once, falling over the battlefield like a rain.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Ching Xie desperately applied the powers of his staff, making it spin to block the incoming arrows with extremely precision, strength, and dexterity.
He stepped forward, regulating his breathing as his eyes glowed bright gold.
"Haaahh… I am not… done yet!"

He roared mightily, as his Dream Essence erupted, resembling an endless fountain.
Nobody in this entire academy had ever seen someone with such a vast amount of Dream Essence.
It quickly transformed, absorbing the power of Earth and the Sky elements that Ching Xie could summon through Magic.
"{Heaven and Earth Embodiment: Guardian of Heaven}!"
RUMBLE!
A giant warrior emerged from his very aura, holding the staff for him, and making it utterly gigantic, reaching the skies above.
It wore golden armor and had brown fur covering most of his body.
With eyes glowing with golden bolts, and a presence of legends, it was truly what everyone had imagined.
"He's always been my hero since I was a little kid, so at the end, this is how my Aura looks like now," smiled Ching Xie.
"Impressive…" Emeraldine gasped, glancing at perhaps one of those people amongst the "peak" of this world. "Although I had imagined you people were weak and not comparable to Yggdrasil, and worth protecting, I have been mistaken… there are incredible warriors among you, which could potentially, and truly protect this world."
"Whatever you say, I will not lose nor give up!" Ching Xie ignored Emeraldine's strange words.
"{Heaven's Punishment}!"
His Aura Guardian of Heaven moved, swinging his massive Dream Weapon for him, and unleashing a barrage of crushing attacks with it, each blow leaving a giant hole in the ground.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The attacks were powerful but too wide-ranged, Emeraldine didn't had a hard time evading as she used her Fairy Wings to move at lightning speed around the battlefield.
"S-She's evading my Heaven's Punishment?!"
Ching Xie was utterly baffled as he saw Emeraldine evading his strongest move like nothing!
"Now… How about this?!"
He pushed his hands forward.
"{Earth's Wrath}!"
RUMBLE!
The ground around Ching Xie trembled as it unleashed its fury, spreading giant cracks and massive swords made of stone, aiming for Emeraldine.
Yet…
"Root!"
"Yes, gyuh!"
Root spread out his powers, planting himself into the ground to grow into an enormous size.
BOOOM!
In a single second, he became a giant Yggdrasil-like tree, overflowing with the chaos element as well as the nature element.
With all his strength, he charged forward, clashing against everyone else, and constantly creating loud explosions with his holy fists!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Hahahah!"
As he laughed, he destroyed everything on his wake, the Guardian was unable to even hit Emeraldine at the end.
It quickly attacked Root though, swinging the massive staff to stop him!
However, this didn't end up working as he intended, Root easily grabbed the staff as it was swung against him, and then dragged it back towards his direction, aiming to rob it.
"My Dream Weapon, don't steal it… Ugh!"
Ching Xie grew frustrated, creating several chains of the Sky Element and wrapping Root with them!
"{Heavenly Chain Formation}!"
The particles of the element of Sky spread everywhere, creating a divine heavenly formation that trapped Root with golden and white chains!
"GYUH?!"
Root was shocked they were strong enough to stop him from moving, and he found them annoying, as they were constantly burning through his reserves of Mana!
"{Yggdragon's Breath}"
"Wha…?!"
Ching Xie gasped, noticing something out of nowhere.
The gigantic head of a dragon surging from Root's body, gathering energies and firing a massive breath attack his way.
BOOOMMM!!!
Behind Root was Emeraldine, of course, using her powers, she easily tricked him, making him think Root was a dragon or something, when this was all purely playing around.
Yet…
He was still standing after that!
"Hahh… Hahh… Ugh… Hahh…!"
His Guardian Aura had protected him from damage, but its very ethereal existence was also fading away, slowly falling and crumbling down.
"I-I can't believe how strong you are, Emeraldine… amazing, truly incredible!" he muttered. "Hahh… I am… loss of words."
"This isn't even my complete strength," said Emeraldine. "But yours… seems to be it all, right?"
FLUOSH!
Emeraldine charged another Divine Yggdrasil Arrow, this time fusing her Divine Spirits with her bow, creating a heavy-looking magic spirit cannon for her!
"This is the first time I am forced to use this technique… And I shall use it, because I literally have nothing else can use now!" roared Ching Xie.
The young man gathered the power of Earth and the Sky within the palm of his hands, as his staff, broken and shattered into pieces, was gone.
As Emeraldine prepared to shoot her Yggdrasil Cannon… just what was he up to?
