[author] Trigger warning (Especially ladies), brutal torture.[/author]
Meanwhile, Cecile was still fighting against the pain and using her energy to keep the cocoon up. After half an hour of fight, a warm current spread from her navel to the rest of her body. Then, an overwhelmingly powerful presence manifested in the spiritual world where her soul fought against that black-red miasma.
The thing that manifested was a dragon, an enormous blue dragon that seemed to carry the firmament inside its body.
Cecile looked at the mountain dwarfing dragon that appeared, mesmerized.
Its dark blue color with white shining lights and golden scales across its navel. The head had a pair of golden horns and heterochromatic silver and gold eyes.
Along its body's right side, silver-colored moons filled it with different forms and sizes. On its left side, golden-colored Suns of different sizes occupied it. In the middle of each of the giant wings, it had one Sun and a full Moon.
It was as if a piece of the night sky had taken a draconic form and appeared before her. It was an extremely beautiful dragon. Everything about this dragon made Cecile want to surrender her everything to it.
The dragon, Yasenia's soul manifestation, looked around and saw the black and red thing that was trying to attack her mate's soul core. Enraged, Yasenia dove downward with a roar that seemed to shake the heavens.
"RROAAAR!!!"
The miasma couldn't even react before the golden claw of the dragon pierced deeply into it, not giving it a chance to fight back. Then, a pulse of chaotic Yin and Yang energies invaded the miasma from the claw. The succubus that wanted to fight back didn't even know what happened before she got ejected from the shared vision with the miasma.
Moreover, after the claw pierced the miasma, where the succubus was, an agonizing scream echoed, accompanied by the sound of crystal shattering. Feng Yuan wasn't any better as he felt a burning pain invade his soul through his weak connection with Cecile, making him release a shrill phoenix cry.
Dragon Yasenia moved her claw with the miasma impaled and opened her maw, devouring it and transferring the entirety of the miasma into her own soul.
Cecile was still awed at her mate's dominant display, but when she saw her swallow it, Cecile got frightened. "My love, what are you doing!? Spit it out! I can bear the pain; you don't need to take it for me!"
Nonetheless, Cecile was stupefied at what happened next. The mountain-sized dragon shrunk and became tiger-sized, ignoring its belly's miasma and jumping toward Cecile.
Cecile, of course, caught her, embracing her with her arms and new silver feathered wings. Then, Yasenia started licking her cheek as her dragon wings flapped happily and her tail wagged. Cecile's face melted in a gentle smile, kissing the dragoness between her arms. But then woke up from the cuteness attack, still worried. While receiving her affections, she said, putting a hand in front of her maw. "Yasenia dear, spit out the miasma! Peh! Yasenia, peh!"
Yasenia blinked her dragon eyes and complied, "Peh."
Which made Cecile delighted, finding her dragoness extremely cute. But when she looked at what she spat, she realized how small and insignificant the miasma had become. 'So weak, did Yasenia digest it?'
Meanwhile, on the outside, when Yasenia started entering Cecile's soul. Tatyana and the rest of the transcendent level experts present looked at Yasenia, stupefied. Tatyana asked, with an incredulous tone, "Did my little treasure just use her soul?"
Tatyana had to ask out loud because of the absurdity of the situation. Normally, late-stage Unification Realm cultivators could begin to feel their souls, much less make use of them.
It was called the Unification realm for a reason; because the cultivator starts fusing their soul with themselves in a conscious manner and also starts being perceptive of the souls of others. Cultivators that got stuck in the Unification realm for life because the cultivator could not do this weren't strange at all.
Therefore, Yasenia, who had just done what she did while being in the first level of the Mental Nourishing realm, was a complete anomaly, to say the least. It was the same as seeing a mortal child use a sword to cut a boulder expertly.
Anna, who heard Tatyana sighed in relief, "Since Lady Tatyana also saw it, it means I didn't go insane. Thank the heavens."
Eve slapped the back of her head and said, "Thank the heavens, my head! What if she is also damaged by the... Miasma... huh?"
One Phoenix elder said, stupefied, "She glomped it."
Another parroted, "She totally did."
Feng Yuan's father laughed in disbelief, "Is she destroying it inside her soul? Am I seeing this right?"
Tatyana thought in that instant, 'I have to tell her not to destroy it completely so that I can track down the perpetrators!'
However, she then heard Cecile saying, "Peh! Yasenia, peh!"
Tatyana almost facepalmed, 'Do you think she is a child!?'
...But she then saw her dear daughter obeying her and spitting it out with a "Peh!"
Tatyana clutched her heart and fell to her knees. "How can my little treasure be so cute!? I love her the most!"
One nearby female Phoenix asked, "Can you tell me how you raised her? I can pay whatever you want! If my next daughter can be as cute as yours, I will smile even in my sleep!'
Tatyana ignored the Phoenix and decided to intervene before Cecile destroyed what remained of it. She opened a soul link with Yasenia and Cecile, "Little treasure, Cecile, do not destroy what is left of it. I can use it to track down the one that hurt Cecile."
Tatyana then spoke to Yasenia with a gentle tone. "Love, you can exit Cecile's soul. Nothing will happen with me here."
Yasenia licked Cecile's check one last time and exploded in shiny particles, disappearing from Cecile's soul.
After this, Cecile's consciousness returned to her body, and she opened her blue phoenix eyes. She saw Yasenia looking at her with a worried face and Tatyana by her side. Cecile said, "What a journey it has been; who would have thought...."
Yasenia lifted Cecile in a hug, passing her arms under her wings. Then she said with a brittle voice, "I w-was so worried. I thought I was losing you."
Cecile hugged Yasenia and covered her with her big silver wings in a protective cocoon. "I'm okay now, my love. Thank you for protecting me."
Yasenia's hug became tighter, and she sobbed with her head buried in Cecile's neck. Cecile moved her three feathered tails and wrapped them around Yasenia's long tail.
Meanwhile, Tatyana placed a hand between Cecile's wings and used her energy to capture that little miasma left inside Cecile's soul. Then, she easily extracted it. It tried to destroy itself when it was out of Cecile's body; however, was Tatyana someone that would let that happen?
Tatyana coldly chanted, "[Fate Weaving]."
Threads of different colors appeared before her, and she cut a black one. The miasma stopped its destruction and stayed still in Tatyana's hand. Then Tatyana sunk her hand in the apple-sized miasma and made a grabbing motion. When she pulled back her clenched hand, she was grabbing two threads, one light blue colored and another pink-grey colored.
Tatyana then chanted, "[Origin Soul Link]."
The two threads suddenly sped toward two different places at fantastic speeds. The light blue thread linked with Feng Yuan, and the other zoomed into the horizon, disappearing from their sight. Anna and Eve didn't even waste a second, shooting like a light beam after the pink-grey thread, their auras terrifying.
Meanwhile, the succubus was breathing heavily and almost immobilized because of the pain Yasenia's retaliation caused her. She took out a jade from an earring and activated it. Breathing roughly, she said, "The plan failed... I wasn't able to... Take over the objective. We will probably be discovered-"
*Cling.*
She looked at the side and saw a pink-grey thread that suddenly stuck onto her. She looked at it, confused, not knowing what it was.
Even if she didn't know what it was, the succubus was alerted and looked around, trying to find what latched it onto her. However, she didn't find anything.
Meanwhile, she was hearing the answer from the jade, "Can you retreat? We are sending our forces to the phoenix mountain anyway. We will take it by force if we can't take it sneakily."
The succubus spoke with doubt, "Sir, a strange thread latched into me out of nowhere, it is grey color-"
A female voice frantically shouted, "RUN AWAY RIGHT NOW! YOU ARE-"
*BOOOOOOOM!!!!!*
The succubus got blasted away by a shockwave.
*BANG!*
She struck against a wall and her bones cracked. Ignoring the pain, she looked up hastily, only to see two blonde women, and got scared. However, she wasn't scared because of them, but because the succubus was literally inside a mountain before, and now she could see the blue sky.
She looked up with trembling eyes and saw that the mountain had been literally blown into smithereens by an attack by one of these two women.
Anna's voice echoed around as she said, "Filthy demon, messing with our miss was the worst thing you could think of! You will pass the rest of your days praying for the sweet release of death!"
Eve blinked beside the succubus and grabbed her head with one hand, then inserted energy in some acupuncture points, making her faint instantly. While Eve did that, Anna instantly cut off everything that had a piece of jewelry, her ears, one arm, one leg, and two of her wings. Blood splashed around.
After analyzing her, Eve said, "She is a succubus."
Anna mercilessly lowered the succubus's lower garments and used both her arms to dig up her lower entrances. Even while unconscious, the succubus trembled in pain as Anna searched for anything inside the succubus. She even cut open her cervix with her nails, searching inside her uterus. She found something there, grabbed it, and pulled it down, reversing her inside-out.
With the sound of blood splashing and flesh tearing, Anna's arm went out of her.
Anna looked at her bloody fist and opened it. Seeing the bloody bead on her hand, she smirked. "A spatial bead; these bitches are crafty. It even has a teleportation talisman and some other life-saving treasures inside... It will be a nice present for young miss... If The Lady lets me give it to her."
Eve asked calmly, as if her sister didn't just do something completely outrageous. "Is something up her rectum?"
Anna kept digging until the butt entrance reached her shoulder and said, "Nothing here."
Eve said, "Then take out your arm. You are killing her, squishing all her organs like that."
Anna took out her arm, making the succubus blood pour through her hole and carrying her intestines out through it. "I had to be sure, so I pierced her intestines to enter her stomach. There wasn't anything there. She is completely helpless now."
Eve nodded, "I will carry her to the others, search for anything useful that hasn't been destroyed, and loot it. I'm going first; I don't want her to die of blood loss."
Anna nodded and waved her bloody hand, "See ya later, sis!"
Eve disappeared with a nod. Anna took out a towel and cleaned herself. "Let's see what these demons have over here~. Oh! A teleportation formation... Hmm? What is this? A communication jade?"
Anna's smirk widened, saying, "Then, you guys must know what I did to that filthy slut, right? I overturned her whole body inside out~. However, don't worry; my sister and I are great healers. We won't let her die... Even if she wants to, hahaha!"
On the other side of the jade, some demons of different sizes and forms were listening. Some female demons had ugly faces, and some of the younger ones were directly throwing up. One general that was going to direct the attack on the phoenixes asked, unaccustomed to this brutality from outside races. "Who are they? To be able to do that... That was... I didn't expect that."
