Year 31 of the Human Calendar - Holy Land of Xue - In front of the statue of the goddesses of life and peace

(Mai Lynn POV)

I really would like to be there fighting...

But I have my own work to do.

“Song of Mana - Heroic Song“

*♪♪♪*

“Come on everyone♪“

“Your heart becomes a wedge♪“

“Come on everyone♪“

“Words are made of steel too♪“

“If you continue to believe♪“

“The wall will definitely break♪“

“Within deep thoughts there's an answer for sure♪“

“There is here as well♪“

“That will shine brightly through the darkness♪“

“You can give birth to love♪“

“Because you fight for love♪“

“Come on everyone♪“

“Strength is not power♪“

“Come on everyone♪“

“Weakness can save you too♪“

“The next beginning♪“

“Coincides with the end of the present♪“

“Try to go one step ahead of just wishing♪“

“That is an undying thing♪“

“That will slowly change the world♪“

“You can give birth to dreams♪“

“Because you fight for dreams♪“

*♪♪♪*

Someday I'll be there on the front lines.

(Benjamin Lynn POV)

As my niece's voice fills the air

*♪♪♪*

The tallest cultivator I have ever seen approaches walking, unfazed by us.

“Water Manipulation - Water ball!“ Benjamin

[1 MP CONSUMED]

Since I have the longest reach of manipulation in the party, I start.

The water surrounds him, but...

*Splash*

He undoes it by swinging his left arm.

“Useless!“ City lord of the west

Crap, my awareness isn't enough.

As I thought that, he entered the range of others.

(Yue Lynn POV)

In range!

“Water Manipulation plus Wind Manipulation“ Yue

“Water Manipulation plus Wind Manipulation“ Hikari

My daughter casts at the same time as me.

“Water Slice X“ Us

[1 MP CONSUMED]

The three meters cross cuts through the earth and the air as it heads toward him.

“Presumptuous!“ City lord of the west

He forms a cross with his arms and moving them back to the sides of his waist, creates an air pressure that destroys the combined ability.

It is not enough!

“Water Manipulation...“ Yue

I focus on everyone and...

“Water Armor!“ Yue

The water version of the Master's armor now covers us.

[14 MP CONSUMED]

I should use it while I can.

[MP + 20]

I drink an Ether as the vanguard approaches him.

(Qianshan Seong POV)

With the water armor of Yue covering us, we approach the city lord.

“Spear Art - Blue Fang!“ Qianshan

[1 MP CONSUMED]

“Sword Art - Blue Sword!“ Tang

“You are getting too bold!“ City lord of the west

He was about to counter his his arms when...

“Sharpshooter - Blue Sparrow“ Hom

“Arghh!“ City lord of the west

A blue arrow appears behind me as I move and pierces his left eye.

He staggers and an opportunity appears.

“HAA!“ Tang

“WAA!“ Qianshan

We both go for the neck, he tries to cut it from the front while I try to pierce his back.

“Hmp!“ City lord of the west

But he dodges it by jumping at the same time someone jumps using my back as support.

(Qianxun Alaslamia POV)

“Cell Duplication plus Caring Touch - Negative Mutation“ Qianxun

With his back in front of me, I use my personal ultimate skill.

*Slap*

My palm makes a sound as it hits his arm, tearing some of his robe off.

“!!!“ Mushu Tung

My attack connects because of two reasons.

First, because it came from the left side , his side without vision.

And second, because cultivator are accustomed to fight while sensing spirit energy, something I don't have.

The impact makes the two of us fly in different directions.

On his landing zone, there is Benjamin preparing itself.

“Sword art plus...“ Benjamin

“Commoners should know their place!“ City lord of the west

He jumps in the air and hits Benjamin before he could use his skill.

*Crack*

“Benjamin!!!“ Yue

“Brother!!!“ Hikari

He rolls on the ground several times before regaining his posture.

“I am... fine!“ Benjamin

He used his now broken sword to defend himself, but even so, There is blood coming out of his mouth.

“To think that I, the great Mushu Tung, would one day be injured by commoners“

He takes something from his pocket.

“But it is useless, these scratches will disappear under the Thousands Years Ginseng Pill!“ Mushu Tung

Lets see if it works.

“*Glup*“ Mushu Tung

Immediately after he uses the pill, the arrow in his eye moves out leaving behind a perfect eye.

“...Impossible!“ Mushu Tung

But his left arm did not heal, on the contrary, it got worse.

“Trash, What did you do to me?!“ Mushu Tung

Negative Mutation.

Using the ability to manipulate DNA, gained after maximizing the Cell Duplication, I create malformations on the cells under the reach of my palm and after I utilize Caring Touch to make the body accept these cells as the new norm of that part of the body.

Usually, this skill is called Positive Mutation and is used to cure people, but it can also be used in this way.

“WHAAH!“ Mushu Tung

He cut off his arm and eats another pill.

“This is too much!“ Mushu Tung

It does not matter how many times he tries to cure it, his arm will never move again.

If my palm has reached his torso as planned, he would have died or worse.

“How dare you! I will beat you all to death!!“ Mushu Tung

Tang and Qianshan leap towards him brandishing their weapons.

But a shockwave forces them to retreat.

“Boundless Baihu form!“ Mushu Tung

The appearance of the City lord changes.

His eyes turn white same as the hair.

Bones come out of his body creating a cage-like full armor and a Lord symbol formed by bones appears on his face, although probably of those present here only I can read it.

“!!!“ Qianxun

He moves fast in the direction of one of us, this is bad!

“Hikari!!“ Qianxun

(Hikari POV)

He disappears from my sight for one second.

“Hikari!!“ Qianxun

And I feel him behind me with the sensing technique of Benjamin.

“Die, Unpleasant thing“ Mushu Tung

He is too fast I am going to...

*Cruush*

...

I hear Earth defending me, and before I know it, I was in someone's arms.

(You have done well, residents of the Holy Land of Xue)

A voice sounds inside my mind.

(Retreat to the walls, I will take care of this from now on)

I recognize this voice!

“G...“ Hikari

Tears come out of my eyes.

He opens the face part of his Earth Armor and smiles to me.

“That speed... Who are You!?“ Mushu Tung

He is...

“Master!“ Yue

“Master Linjian“ Tang

“Anointed King!“ Qianxun

“Anointed King!“ Hom

“First king!“ Benjamin

“Anointed King!“ Qianshan

“GRANDPA!!“ Hikari

He looks at the strongest lord of the continent and answers.

“My NamE Is LinjIan Campbell and I am the The Anointed King... of the Holy Land of Xue!“
