Chapter 1684 Intense Battle

Chapter 1684 Intense Battle

-----
Yuki reminisced the words told to her by the two powerful Venerables that had trained her. They were harsh, but completely true, and Tisha's words about fighting being an Art, deeply impacted her.
"You're too pesky and annoying, you should work on your personality, little lady," the vixen often said. "Your soul… it clearly shows that you're always scared, actually. That personality is a shell, isn't it? But it won't protect you, it will one day become your doom."
"Your divinity wavers the more you overthink things," said the ice queen. "Yuki, was it? You must concentrate in what lies within your inner self, the core of your very being. Do not let unnecessary thoughts cloud your judgement. Concentrate in what makes you what you are, don't worry about anything else."
They were slightly cryptic at times, but after hearing Tisha…
Yuki kind of understood a bit more what they meant.
"Don't overthink it…"
As Yuki started to realize what they meant, and to be enlightened little by little, the intense battle against the two Demon Generals raged.
Tisha and Pekora combined their strengths, complementing their weaknesses and rapidly chasing against the two annoying Steel Demons.
Their delicate-looking, yet powerful bodies clashed against Tisha's blade techniques and her Domain, explosions of frost and pink flames erupting with each clash.
At the same time, Pekora constantly conjured powerful masses of vegetation with her abilities, which were imbued with the vegetation of Muspelheim, who were highly resistant to fire, or completely immune to heat.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Explosions and eruptions of frost and flames continued across the skies, as Yuki continued trying to concentrate, the powers within her body clashing and instead not working as she intended.
"Come on, why is it not working? What else do I need for this to work?" she lamented.
"You're too much in a hurry…" the tiger spirit said.
"Stay calm, sit down, trust your friends," said the phoenix.
"Trust them…" she sighed.
She sat in the middle of the skies, Tisha and Pekora noticing, but not getting mad at her. They knew what she was doing, and decided to also trust her.
"She's beginning to get a grasp of it now," Tisha said.
"More or less! T-Though, I don't think we got the time to talk casually, Tisha!" Pekora cried.
"You two girls are quite the pesky little flies! Isn't it right, brother darling?"
"Indeed, might as well be time for us to finish this with a grand finale!"
"Grand finale?! What are you two talking about?!"
Tisha rushed towards the two demons, her aura erupting with tremendous force as giant draconic blades made of frost and her divinity flew towards the two demons.
"Hmph, can't you let us finish what we were talking about?!"
"You are such a gross woman! All muscular disgusting! Women must be delicate little princesses instead!"
The demons mocked Tisha's appearance, the ferocious Ice Elf roared back, swinging her blade against the endless bombardment of heart-shaped pink fireballs.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As Tisha was engulfed on countless explosions of pink flames, the two demon generals rushed into he skies, charging their demonic powers together to unleash a devastating beam.
"Tisha!"
Pekora quickly went to help Tisha, who was clearly being completely overwhelmed. Her vegetation growing around her and tanking the incoming attacks, while she fused with her Lightning Spirit, Aki, to gain a great boost to her movement speed.
"&123;Divine Lightning Bubble&125;!"
FLUOSH!
A bubble of golden lightning materialized around Tisha, tanking all the flames, and then releasing a powerful shockwave, destroying the floating metallic drones constantly conjuring them.
TRUUUM!
"So they had those things summoning them all the time?!" Tisha asked.
"Seems so! Ah, shit, they're doing it again! Tisha, your shield!" Pekora said.
"Yeah!"
The two quickly noticed the massive beam rushing down right away, putting themselves in front of Yuki and placing the shields in front of their bodies, the powerful black beam of pure corrupted infernal energy reached them.
BOOOM!
The beam clashed against both shields, Tisha and Pekora were being constantly pushed down more and more.
The shields held on just fine, but the enormous force released by the beams couldn't be absorbed, eventually, they could even be crushed by its power alone!
"S-Shit, this is bad!" Tisha cried.
"That beam, we need to stop them!" Pekora cried.
The two quickly unleashed flying projectiles against them. Divine Frost Blades and giant Divine Spirit Wood Spears flew towards the Demon Generals, yet the two of them easily destroyed them, summoning more of their Metallic Drones.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Hahaha! Oh darling, I think we finally got them!"
"It seems they cannot go beyond this? A shame, truly!"
RUMBLE!
The two kept being pushed down more and more, the two Demon generals had saved all their power to this ultimate beam, to take care of these two immediately.
"Shit! Should we just avoid the beam?!" Tisha wondered.
"But Yuki's right behind us!" Pekora said. "If I break her concentration…!"
"Dammit!" Tisha roared. "Then it's all or nothing!"
She quickly started pushing upwards, her muscles bulging as her arms, legs, and biceps all tightened and tensed up, her Divine Aura continued to surge from her body, resembling a half-dragon elven giantess.
"RAAAAH!"
She continued singlehandedly pushing upwards, the two Demon Generals slightly panicking, and quickly imbuing even more power into the attack.
"Hah! Don't think you'll just overcome this, darling…!"
"We have endless energy unlike you, thanks to our dear creator! Hahaha!"
RUMBLE!
The beam continued growing larger and all-encompassing, the shields were both already shining bright yellow, having reached the limits of their energy-absorption.
"Tisha, release the counterattack!" "But doesn't that attack have a long cooldown?!" "Do you think we have any option right now?!" "Dammit!" Tisha and Pekora unified their Divine Auras, as their two Tiamat's Scale Shields unleashed rainbow-colored beams against the Demon generals combined attack.
BOOOM! BOOOM!
The combined attack slowly started being pushed back towards the Demon Generals themselves! However, their Metallic Drones quickly channeled their power, combining it with their auras.
"Don't think this is all we have!"
"You're going to die no matter what!"
Their attack became even larger and more intense, even the shield's counterattack was being slowly dwarfed!
"YUKI! COME HELP!"
Tisha called for Yuki, something she didn't thought she would do at all!
And surprisingly enough, she answered.
"Very well."
Her eyes looked different…
