  Bing Xue had nicely arrahe teams for each pyramid and their bosses acc to what she learned about them and the challenges she wahem to gh. For a Venerable and Martial Master such as herself, assembling teams and giving trials and challeo her disciples art of the whole joy of being a Murim Master.

  From the very beginning, through her abilities and the informatio from Akhenaten, she khat the person in this pyramid and their Meical God, were a perfect match against Mursha. The orc warrioress, who now had obtained a divine fire ability and was developing a hot-blooded fighting ability, o temper her wrath by fighting someone who wielded water.

  And right now, Mursha fronted her: Hatshepsut, the spoiled young sister of the Pharaoh of the Empire of the Sun, pilot of Ahe Meical Goddess of the River Nile, naturally profit with trolling waters and creating them.

  And above all, her Golden Bloodline Ability, which had incredible affinity with A’s Elemental and Divine Powers,

  “I’ll make you pay for what you’ve done, you ugly alien!!!” she screamed. “I’ll drown you and your people!”

  FLUOSH!

  In that moment, A’s Divine Powers surged as endless currents of water materialized from its body oer another. Mursha’s eyes widened as she saw dozens of thick currents of water gather together into an immense being.

  “T-That’s…”

  As she g the se, Hatshepsut’s Golden Bloodline Powers bined with A, helping the Meical Goddess unleash its powers to a new level.

  “{Golden Bloodline Ability}: {Hapi’s Divine Flood}!”

  FLUOSH!

  The water suddenly took the shape of an enormous god, someoween a woman and a man, the A God of Nile’s Flood, Hapi. Known fing the floods to a Egypt and therefore fertile soil from the self.

  He was known as a God of Agriculture as well, but above all, of a God of Floods and Life, the same as Ahe Goddess of the self.

  Therefore, when both of these powers bined, an incredible synergy was formed!

  RUMBLE!

  A titan made of endlessly flowing water materialized, a walking o of its own; if they wished, the ey of Giza would be flooded pletely!

  “So this is why she told me to be careful.”

  Mursha smiled at the challenge, her entire body beginning to transform as she activated her Bloodfang Wolf’s Aura, unleashing her Spiritual Powers.

  Red fur grew over her arms, legs, and around her chest and back, while her hair merged with her clothes made of giant wolf pelt.

  Her eyes turned deep red, aeeth became sharp e fangs!

  Her axe also grew rger, twice as big as before!

  “Time to test how strong I have bee…”

  She stepped forward across the skies, resembling a bzieor, as she reached the titan made of water. A merely opes enormous hands made of water to reach Mursha.

  As she rushed forward across the skies, the water reached her, attempting to catd then simply drown her or crush her with enormous water pressure.

  However…

  “Tha ain’t happenin’!”

  As she roared, the orc warrioress swung her axe upwards, unleashing a huge wave of pure crimson fmes, and her aura emerged, sshing through the hand made of water.

  SLAASH!

  The sound of her attack slig through the water echoed across the skies as the titanid quickly boiled up and exploded into vapor faster than it could regee!

  BOOOM!

  “Not bad…”

  Hatshepsut seemed furious though, as she quickly tinued maniputing the titan made of water as she tried to make her way to Giza.

  “But is that enough to stop me!? I’ll drown that city of yours and everyone in there! This will be your end for daring te a goddess of water such as myself!”

  With a furious roar, Hatshepsut unleashed dozens of floods of water against Mursha; it was no simple water either, rapidly spiraling on itself, swirling angrily, and gathering rge quantities of divine power.

  Mursha had to rapidly swing her axe, slig through the water as it came. She rapidly focused, letting her Ki, Spirit Energy, and Mana flow through her body rapidly.

  And then.

  BA DUM!

  Her heart started beating faster as a fourth energy entered her body and started to rapidly enhance her physique and her senses.

  The Primal Power that Fiery Hair gifted to her!

  A bination of four different energies was harnessed as Mursha saw the ining floods one by oh extreme accuracy.

  “trate…!”

  BA DUM!

  “You do… this!”

  She swung her axe, slig through the ining flooding and spiraling water rivers that came against her, which suddenly started shaping like snakes opening their jaws, sometimes crocodiles, or fish.

  “{Divine Bloodfang Axe Arts}: {Abyssal Crimson Fangs}”

  SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

  Each of her sshing attacks became a huge crimson fang, biting and cleaving through the floods of azure water as they came, making them erupt, explode, and sptter across the skies like rain.

  SPLAAASH!

  As she tinued fighting, A quickly jured several floods of water—rivers that merged with one another and became even thicker, rushing down from above.

  And the same happened from below as well, and the and right. Each of these floods ended with ferocious snake heads.

  “Don’t think I don’t have other abilities!” roared Hatshepsut.

  “{Thousand River Snakes of Nile}!”

  “Ah!”

  Mursha quickly enhanced her body with her Divinity Aura and Spiritual Aura, rapidly strengthening her body, and then tried to take oacks as they came.

  But it was futile!

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  “Graaarrgghhh!”

  Mursha screamed as the water spiraled around her body and shaped into tless jaws, trying to bite through her entire body, pierg through her defe the same time as drowning her.

  Even as a goddess, filling her lungs with too much water and then losing the oxygen she o breathe was bound to kill her!

  “Nnnggh?!”

  She held up her breath as much as she could, but the water was alive; it was stantly trying to arouomad her chest, f her to open her mouth.

  It also tried to coil inside of her noses, ears, and even other orifices!

  “Shit, this thing… too much!”

  As Mursha struggled to evehe and move, Hatshepsut ughed, smiling furiously at her.

  “See?! This is it! This is what you get for destroying my fleet and daring to e at me like a beast! I am the UNTOUCHABLE princess of the Empire of the Sun!!!”

  As she roared furiously with a vile smirk, the princess rapidly closed her fists, intensifying the power of the water around Mursha. The pressure became so enormous that it felt like Mursha was being crushed by tens of thousands of tons.

  “Uuugghh?!”

  She pahe flow of energies around her body halted, and she suddenly couldn’t hold baymore, opening her mouth as water erying to destroy her from the i.

  “Y-You’re kidding me?!” she thought. “Am I really going to die right now? so easily?! After... After I avenged my family, after I finally saved Elios with Bing Xue…”

  BA DUM!

  “After I promised her I would help…”

  BA DUM!

  “And after I told her to leave this to me!?”

  BA DUM!

  “After I got so cocky and said I could do this on my own…”

  BA DUM!

  “Nnggh…! e on…!”

  Suddenly, as she was drowning and being crushed by the immeer pressure, Mursha started trolling her internal energies even faster than before.

  BA DUM!

  The Primal Pathered within her heart only, pumping blood through her entire body at lightning speed with hundreds of heartbeats per sed.

  BA DUM! BA DUM! BA DUM! BA DUM!

  Her green skin suddenly started growing red as her tattoos spread further through her body. Spiritual Energy, Mana, and Ki theo her heart.

  “Like this… e on!”

  And then the energies merged together, being refined by the Primal Power and being a single, crimson-red energy of divine power.

  “I … do this!”

  As the refined energy tinued flowing through her body, she noticed something!

  Suddenly, two figures emerged from across the skies after seeing Mursha in danger.

  A tall Native Ameri woman with a muscur body and long bck hair, covered in white tattoos shaped as totems, held a gigantie axe. Her aura transformed into that of many Totem Beasts.

  A slender man wearing bck clothes and holding two bives, spinning across the skies like a tornado of darkness, attacked Hatshepsut with everything he had.

  “What…?!”

  Hatshepsut was shocked as she was suddenly attacked. A third of the Water Titan quickly colpsed as the tornado of shadows engulfed the water a it flying elsewhere!

  BOOOM!

  However, that wasn’t all. As the native Ameri woman smiled, the beasts she summoned tinued multiplying, turning into a stampede of animals that sshed, bit, ahrough anything.

  CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

  “Hang in there, Murshaaa!”

  It was two of Bing Xue’s disciples—people Mursha had little time to even know but that she realized were friends that would put their lives on the lio help her.

  “Jackes…! Aiyana?!”

  “Unnggh?! You pests!”

  Hatshepsut furiously swung her tless water hands against them, pushing them away with the power of a small tsunami.

  SPLAAASH!

  Jackes and Aiyana were strong, but against someone like Hatshepsut, they had little power to go against. Endless water flooded it all, regeed endlessly, and could also easily dampen most attacks.

  However, evehey quickly attacked bayway! Jackes harnessed all the darkness and shadows he summoned into his body.

  “{Abyssal Shadow Knight Sentinel}!”

  His entire body absorbed the shadows, being a teer-tall giant made of darkness and shadows that were enpassed together into the form of an a, armored knight with sharp red eyes.

  His knives fused into a giant bck sword as Jackes rushed forward, attag Hatshepsut with everything he had, slig through the river snakes oer arying to free Mursha!

  “Mursha, hang in there! Don’t drown!” he said.

  SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

  However, as many as he cut, the river snakes would simply regee once more, ing around his giant body and beginning to quickly spread cracks through it!

  “Ugh! Dammit!” Jackes screamed.

  “Jackes!”

  Aiyana screamed as the A Beast Spirits within her many tattoos emerged. These spirits had ion to Elios, as they were inborn from her own family’s totem guardians.

  “{Divi Totem Spirit Fusion}!”

  Aiyan activated her special teique she had refined by fusing her Mana and her Ki together. As her entire body trembled, her tattoos materialized into giant body parts, transf her into a humanoid female beast chimera.

  Her arms were like those of a lizard, her legs like those of a lioness, her head like that of a deer with enormous antlers, her torso resembled a wolf’s body, she gaihree snake-headed tails, and she had four wings, those of a crow and an eagle.

  “{Chimera Totem Embodiment}!”

  Being fifteeers tall, Aiyana reached the endless water rivers and sshed them apart oer ahe snakes, which were made of this water, hissed in agony before disappearing oer another.

  CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

  As all of this happened, Mursha trated, closing her eyes and even ign how her lungs were full of water and about to burst.

  Her heart tinued beatie all odds, enhanced solely by the abilities of her Primal Power, all while stantly refiniher three energies together.

  “e on… trate…”

  BA DUM!

  “Reach the deepest of powers…”

  BA DUM!

  “You breakthrough, Mursha!”

  BA DUM!

  And then, she heard something.

  “I believe in you, my daughter.”

  Perhaps it was an illusion, a livid dream, or whatever else, but Mursha heard her mother.

  And then, the fme of her heart bzed through.

  “All my powers so far were different; I couldn’t quite bihem together…”

  Yet she realized something in that moment.

  What was giving her so much power wasn’t just Primal Power.

  But…

  Hope!

  “I have hope.”

  Hope ects all people, all things, and all dreams!

  bining hope with everything else, Mursha created a proper fusion.

  tless winged wolves made of divine golden, red, e, and bck fmes surged from her body.

  FLUOSH!

  The wolves opeheir jaws as she swung her axe, dev and splitting apart the water.

  The structure that kept their atoms together lit apart too, and the water instantly…

  BOOOM!

  Evaporated.

  “Wha…?!”

  Hatshepsut gnced in utter disbelief as the bubble of water she had Mursha trapped in instantly exploded into vapor, disappearing.

  “Thank you, Bing Xue.” Mursha smiled. “You were right! This is what I o reach a new level!”

  RUMBLE!

  With a siep into the skies, Mursha appeared in front of Hatshepsut, and the water titan ed around A instantly evaporated.

  POOOF!

  Dissipating into nothing but vapor!

  “How did you…?! HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!”

  With a scream full of disbelief, Hatshepsut attacked Mursha with A’s hands, which quickly gathered water and froze it into sharp cws.

  “I don’t know what name I could even give it…”

  FLUOSH!

  Mursha’s Aura erupted as a giant winged wolf emerged, merging with her body and giving her both the wings of the phoenix and the fur and strength of the wolf.

  FLASH!

  She rushed forward, her wings giviremendous speed, and the frozen cws of A...

  There was no problem!

  “{Divine Bloodfang Axe Arts}: {Abyssal Blood-Winged Wolf of Hope}”

  “AWOOOOOO!”

  Each of her cleaving attacks created the illusion of an enormous wolf made of blood, darkness, and fire, cutting through all things in front of her with its cws and fiery wings.

  SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

  “A-Ah…!”

  Hatshepsut realized too te that her entire Meical Goddess and herself had been cut down to pieces.

  “Eh?”

  She saw her hands fall apart into pieces, and so did her fingers.

  And then, a piece of her face...

  Then the rest of her body colpsed at the same time as her Meical Goddess.

  BOOOM!

  Crumbling into the sands below, her pns to drown Giza were thwarted.
