Quite far away from Kali and Yasenia, Evelyn had opened her exotic violet eyes on a snowy area. She curiously looked around, and the snowstorm around was so strong that even her vision was somewhat impeded. Her long electric blue hair was blown by the wind, making it slightly uncomfortable.
Evelyn was wearing normal purple-blue robes named [Purple Light Electric Robe]. These robes were much better than the one she had before, being at low-level Heaven rank. She had managed to get them as a reward after completing some tasks from her tailoring teacher. But even with those high-quality robes, the temperature around was low enough to make Evelyn feel cold. 'Ugh, this area is going to be troublesome...'
She hastily made a layer around her with her energy, trying to block most of the freezing wind and snow. But Evelyn's face changed from frowning to a happy smile shortly after.
*RUMBLE!*
Evelyn looked up, and to her delight, a terrible thunder and lightning storm was ongoing just above her, together with the snowstorm. "I'm so lucky! Look at that thick lightning, spewing delicious energy~. I'm going to slurp you dry as I do with Yasenia's tits!" Said our overjoyed perverted little girl with a lewd smile.
Evelyn felt slightly uncomfortable not receiving a tail slap, and she muttered, "It loses the meaning of speaking about tits if there is no one that can react to it..."
Evelyn continued with righteous indignation. "It is like eating without salt, like drinking milk that doesn't come from Yasenia's heavenly breasts, like being spanked without having Yasenia's big penis or thick tail down my throat or pounding my holes!"
Evelyn looked at the horizon heroically with her violet eyes while her long electric blue hair waved with the wind. "In short, it is absolute blasphemy!"
As if timed by the heavens, a lightning strike landed behind Evelyn. *Bang!*
Evelyn looked at the big hole behind her with satisfaction and nodded, "Even the heavens agree with me; I may have advanced into my perversion Dao. I must find Yasenia and tell her about my achievements! I want to receive my punishment!"
Why didn't she think that the heavens were trying to smite her down before she got too out of control will always remain a mystery. Our little girl's perverted mind seemed to have evolved into a whole new realm.
Evelyn looked at the lightning storm above her head and said, "I should cultivate until I reach level nine here. It shouldn't take more than a week if lightning with that strength strikes me continuously. It also has an ancient aura that may benefit me...."
However, before doing that, Evelyn took out the communication devices to check where everyone else was. 'It would be good if Yasenia or little Angel were nearby~; having a big-breasted partner always makes things better.'
After Evelyn took out the communication devices, she poured energy into them. An invisible energy wave spread around. Seeing no reaction after waiting for some seconds, Evelyn sighed sadly, "no one around...."
Evelyn focused on the surroundings and suddenly realized that she wasn't in a flat area. Because the visibility was so bad, she didn't realize it, but she was at the base of a very tall mountain. 'Wow... I can't even see a quarter of it... Should I climb? If I go upward, I probably won't see Yasenia and the others for a while...'
Evelyn struggled to decide, but after giving it a few spins in her head, she came to a conclusion, 'We came to the secret realm to strengthen ourselves, not as a picnic or to be babysitted by Yasenia.'
Evelyn's violet eyes were determined and devoid of any joking feeling she had before. 'Although I will miss her, I may as well take the opportunity before me and strengthen myself. I think I share the feeling with the other girls when I say that the thing we fear the most is Yasenia leaving us behind without an option for us to catch up.'
Evelyn frowned slightly, 'Just thinking of staying home while Yasenia fights powerful and dangerous enemies makes my guts turn.'
Therefore, without a shred of hesitation, Evelyn began climbing the enormous mountain slowly and carefully, with firm steps and her spear, [Solid Thunder], in her hand.
Not long after she began climbing, a not very powerful lightning bolt zoomed toward her from the sky. Evelyn looked at it with a smirk and activated her constitution, [Lightning Devouring Body]. When the lightning was one meter away from hitting Evelyn, it seemed to smash against a transparent sphere and burst into light particles.
These particles didn't dissipate and zoomed toward Evelyn's body. Evelyn's aura wrapped around them and crushed it, devouring it and taking all the usable and tamed lightning energy into herself.
The lightning coursed through meridians as Evelyn lightly closed her eyes and sighed comfortably, nourishing her body. When the lightning couldn't nourish her more, it went toward her dantian and advanced her cultivation very slightly.
Evelyn opened her eyes and smiled confidently, "Let's see who leaves behind who, Yasenia!"
Then, she bent her knees a little, and in the next second, she activated her movement technique, [Flash Lightning Steps]. Like an electric blue spark, Evelyn rushed forward with extremely high speed.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
Evelyn flashed through the environment at tremendous speed, parting the snow in her wake as the lightning bolts kept hitting her. However, they all burst into light particles only to be absorbed by Evelyn's aura ravenously. Evelyn wasn't holding back her strength as she ran upward because the lightning replenished her energy.
In this environment, Evelyn was extremely monstrous strength-wise. And although she wasn't at Yasenia's, Andrea's, or Cecile's level, she would be able to fight Kali and Angel at the same time without major problems.
But this amount of lightning falling down was quite eye-catchy even from a distance. Because the sight was also impeded for most cultivators that appeared here, they saw this phenomenon of lightning striking as flashing lights signifying the birth of a treasure. Therefore, a lot of cultivators shot toward Evelyn's location.
Evelyn didn't know that people were going after her and continued climbing the tall mountain with relative ease.
On the way, she heard a roar from a beast. Moreover, she realized that this beast was coming her way. She stopped running and prepared herself.
The creature that appeared was a giant white wolf with blue eyes and yellow electric sparks coursing through his body. Its body was at least 4 meters in height and 7 meters in length. Evelyn and the wolf stopped 500 meters apart.
The distance wasn't long nor short for people of their current strength. The wolf was showing its fangs with a deep growl in its voice, and Evelyn was expressionless looking at it with her spear pointing 45 degrees toward the ground. Both of them had wide lightning arcs around them that connected the ground with them.
Evelyn observed the surroundings because she knew most wolf races were pack animals. But after looking around, she didn't see any more wolves around at a single glance. 'Maybe they are camouflaged with the surroundings? If this one weren't all sparkly with electricity, it would be hard to spot it in this snowstorm. But, even if there aren't any more wolves, this one is at the peak of the third rank. Let's go easy and slow.'
Evelyn first used her elemental armor, [Thunder Light Armor]. She had managed to complete it during these months, and its strength had also multiplied. From all of Yasenia's group, the only one without the coat evolved was Kali, but she was getting there.
When Evelyn used her armor, blue lightning warped around her body, twisting like snakes and solidifying into an electric blue light armor with a white core in the middle. That core was made with her light energy, which could potentially create different effects.
However, for the moment, it only served to enter her strongest state easier and channel her deadly white lightning better. The armor made her strikes slightly slower, but it multiplied their strength and also hardened her almost nonexistential defense to a high degree. In short, it covered Evelyn's weaknesses without sacrificing her advantages.
Evelyn crouched slightly and grabbed the spear with both hands. The wolf saw Evelyn entering in an attacking position and felt her aura increasing, so it howled, making the snow blast outward from it.
Evelyn became even more serious, 'This wolf isn't normal.'
The wolf then took a step forward and shot toward Evelyn at the same time that Evelyn put strength in her legs and shot toward the wolf.
A yellow and blue lightning bolt approached each other at tremendous speeds, colliding in a big explosion. Evelyn grunted in pain as she felt her feet leave the ground. Then, the strength of the wolf blasted her flying.
The wolf pounced forward rapidly, chasing after Evelyn.
Evelyn wasn't worried as she expertly used her spear to stop her momentum easily. 'I can't compete strength-wise, and my normal attack didn't even leave a scratch in his fur.'
Evelyn used [Light Overcharge]. The core in her chest shone with yellow light as her body began glowing, assimilating some light attributes in her armor.
As soon as she stopped sliding, she saw the wolf already before her opening his giant mouth with extremely sharp teeth toward her. However, Evelyn moved like a light streak and appeared beside the wolf instantly. Then, she swiped [Solid Thunder] in a descending motion toward its side. Blue electric arcs coursed the two-and-a-half-meter-long spear as she chanted, "[Thunder Swipe]."
The wolf had already sensed the attack, so it hardened the muscles on his side, swiping a claw toward Evelyn. However...
*BANG!*
The four-meter tall wolf's body bent as the spear's strength sent it sliding in the snow. Using its claws, the wolf stopped itself, feeling slight pain from that hit. It was prepared to charge toward Evelyn again, but it saw that Evelyn was already on its side again!
Evelyn had used [Light Charge], reaching his side extremely fast.
*BANG!*
The wolf slid again in the snow as it gritted its fangs. Thick yellow electric arcs ran along its body. It knew its adversary was someone strong; therefore, it began using more strength.
When Evelyn was about to charge toward it again, she saw a white and yellow shadow approaching from the side extremely fast. Evelyn was surprised, but she managed to use [Thunder Light Shield], spinning her spear in that direction and creating a circular blue and yellow shield before her.
Then, a big paw with four sharp claws slammed on the shield.
*BANG!*
The snow in the surroundings exploded with the shockwave from the impact. The claw broke the shield, and Evelyn had no other option but to block it with her spear. 'Shit!'
*BANG!*
Evelyn felt her bones fracturing as her body was sent flying without control. Evelyn's eyes hardened as she revolved her cultivation technique, making lightning slam against her from the sky. As she flew, the lightning bolts falling from the sky slammed her back down to the snow. Her aura devoured that lightning, and she circulated it in her arms, regenerating her wounds.
Evelyn didn't dare hold back anymore; a single misstep and this wolf might kill her. The world around her slowed down as her violet eyes focused on the approaching giant white wolf. Thick white lightning exploded from the core in her chest, devouring all the blue lightning around her. Her aura swelled as her voice echoed in the mountain, "[Thunder Light Overcharge]!"
The wolf felt danger the moment the lightning began falling on Evelyn, so it also brought out its real strength. The yellow lightning took a light blue color around its body, and its muscles bulged slightly, making an extremely imposing figure of beastly magnificence.
Evelyn pointed her spear at the wolf and chanted, "Let's decide a winner, shall we? [LUMINOUS PHANTOM]!"
Beside Evelyn, ten five-meter-long spears made of white lightning appeared, cracking with deafening sounds.
The wolf howled to the sky, "AWOOO!!" Its howl made the lighting in the surroundings gather around it.
Then, the wolf clawed toward Evelyn, and Evelyn thrust toward the wolf.
*RRRUUUMBLE!!*
The light-blue lightning claw and white lightning spears rushed toward each other with extreme speed, colliding in a violent explosion that blew everything in a 200m radius.
The shockwave impacted Evelyn like a steel wall and launched her backward into the snow, injured. Evelyn, made her aura burst, evaporating the snow around her and clearing her field of vision. She was prepared to keep at it with the wolf.
However, to her surprise, the white wolf was standing there majestically, looking at her with its deep blue eyes as if pondering something. Evelyn didn't stop her [Thunder Light Overcharge]; she now could maintain it for some minutes without any repercussion, so she wasn't hasty. Evelyn walked forward slowly, spear in hand, and asked, "What's wrong? You won't fight anymore?"
The wolf began walking toward Evelyn, and Evelyn couldn't help but feel as if the wolf had manners similar to Tatyana's. Even if the aura, demeanor, and everything else were incomparable to Tatyana. The essence of something was there. Evelyn thought, 'It is like... How to put it... Right. Like a king walking forward.'
The wolf kept walking and reached 10 meters before Evelyn. None of them moved, but Evelyn suddenly saw a mark appearing between its eyebrows. It was a single blue rune; however, Evelyn knew the meaning of this rune. The rune meant "Queen."
Then, from the "Queen" rune, a drop of blood appeared and floated in front of Evelyn. Evelyn looked at the drop at first with confusion, and then, after feeling the energy in that drop, she looked at it with an incredulous gaze. "You want to form a contract with me?"
The wolf nodded her head. Evelyn felt her heart pounding with anticipation, 'A beast as strong as this one wants to form a contract with me!?'
Evelyn thought for a moment and asked, "Why?"
Even if she was excited, Evelyn was extremely cautious. She couldn't think of a single reason for this wolf to make a contract with her. You must know that beasts always have the short stick in a contract with a human. That means that Evelyn will become the wolf's master, and the wolf won't be able to disobey her orders.
The wolf looked into Evelyn's eyes and didn't say anything. Evelyn couldn't help but feel the wolf's distress and sadness from her gaze. Evelyn frowned, 'Something must have happened to her; that is why she was walking alone around here... But, there is something that Tatyana has taught us, and that is that beasts don't have deep schemes. She must think that entering a contract with me, someone with similar strength, is her last option.'
Evelyn sighed, 'But which were her other options? If I accept the contract, I can already smell trouble coming my way. But...'
Evelyn determined herself, 'Danger and reward come to hand by hand. If I don't bet, I won't have big gains.'
Evelyn bit her finger and made a droop of blood from the blood essence pool in her heart float toward the wolf's drop of blood.
Then, their blood combined, and a golden chain with a spearhead shot from Evelyn's heart toward the wolf, piercing the wolf's chest. Then, this chain disappeared, and a connection was formed between them.
[author] I will explain more about the nature of contracts with creatures, what blood essence is, and other things related to this more deeply in the future, especially how it differentiates from [Soulmates] and [Interlinked Souls]. Don't worry about it for now; just know that the wolf now can't betray Evelyn unless something exceptional happens.[/author]
