Chapter 20
Tatyana heard Rita speak her last words, “How did you become…so…str..ong?” Tatyana smiled at her.
When Tatyana extracted her hand, Rita’s body turned to dust and her soul got absorbed by Tatyana creating another general for her army! Tatyana spoke “If only you knew that the reason is related with whom you tried to harm… Maybe, you wouldn’t have done something so foolish?”
What Rita nor anybody knew was that the gains she had in that ancient tomb were astounding. She was trapped inside for more than 200 years. Almost every day was a struggle against countless enemies, be it golems, undead, or some unknown civilizations with similar tails to Yesenia. She tried to communicate with these civilizations, but they weren’t sapient so she killed them all.
After studying the texts left behind in these cities, it seems that their state was the result of a failed ritual, they were trying to forcefully change the innate attributes of their civilization using the Moon Goddess’ and the Sun God’s blood.
The reason she wasn’t overwhelmed by that “Tomb”, to which the word “World” was more appropriate because of its size, was for the most part because of her three innate skills. [Death phantom], [Death absorption] and her ultimate skill [Fate calling song].
The [Death phantom] saves the soul of anybody that has a deep connection with Tatyana with the help of the fate energy. The other condition is to kill without remorse. If these two conditions are fulfilled the general class undead will be created.
The more resentful Tatyana is towards the person who once had a deep connection with her, the stronger the phantom.
This is the reason the commander is her first love, who betrayed her when she didn’t have much experience in the love affairs, and thus when she killed him, and all her previous “sisters” she also did it with a twisted amount of resentment. At that time she almost was consumed by her heart demons!
Her constitution [Death devouring seer] has a special space for these souls and she saves them there, be it to consume them or transform them.
[Death absorption] This ability also comes from her constitution [Death devouring seer] it was simple yet strong! It let her absorb the energy from her slain enemies unless they are constructs. The things she can absorb are life and death energy.
For Tatyana, it doesn’t matter if she fights against the living or the undead, she will be able to replenish her energy! Moreover, she can use that energy for upgrading her cultivation!
Finally, [Fate calling song] is a song to summon everything that has died by her army and she has saved in her constitution space, it cost 2% of her gigantic energy pool. For reference, cultivators like Tatyana could fight for some weeks continuously if not being pushed.
However, Tatyana can consume her whole energy pool in 3 hours of continuous singing! On the other side… If enough targets combined with [Death absorption] she can sing endlessly!
She has a great variety of skeletons, some, although very few, are even stronger than her generals, for example, that Bone Dragon. In this fight she didn’t even need them, so, she didn’t summon them.
The downside is that after an undead is destroyed, and it wasn’t added to her army by the [Phantom Death] skill, it is completely destroyed they can’t be reused.
This song, however, not only summons an army but also strengthens Tatyana and her undead the longer she sings. Finally, the most important effect! The song creates a zone where the enemies listening to her voice can’t even escape! Truly abnormal!
That is one of the reasons that Tatyana won’t use the [Fate calling song] normally unless she won’t let anybody that has seen it alive. She didn’t want people to prepare antilocking artifacts against her… Chasing her prey was very tiresome.
Tatyana looked towards the distant sect. She started guiding her army there without using her song. now that all the strong people were dead, she killed everybody else easily… except one boy who seem to have a teleporting life-saving treasure!
Thankfully, he was in the middle of closed-door cultivation and didn’t see her! He just left when he sensed something wrong and saw an undead army attacking! She looted the whole branch sect and took the spatial rings of all the people there.
Tatyana looked at the pile of spatial rings in front of her and said with a sigh “What a mess, I will have to order all these things… Can they not have so many treasures? This is the part I like the least about fighting…”
“Hmmm, I will go to my faction headquarters and send it to that woman who was in charge of my treasury, She wouldn’t mind doing these boring things! Right?’
A woman far away cursed reflexively. She did not know why, but she felt that the madwoman will put her in charge of something troublesome soon.
Tatyana then crouched with a pout thinking of the amount of time that she will need to tidy these things.
She poked at one corpse that was near and said with a coquettish smile “Do you think that I gained a refill on Yasenium? I did a good job so I should get rewarded, right?”
Then she stood up and looked into the distance “Hmm… should I visit her? I should not but…Thinking about that deliciously sweet and thick white substance… *Slurp* Let’s go visit her!”
Tatyana smiled mischievously “Yasenia, I hope you have already some daughters-in-law prepared or mommy will punish you without leaving the bed for a week! Fufufufu~” Then she took her flying boat and disappeared from the spot.
The next week, news about the destruction of one of the demonic sect branches spread through the Sky continent and its surroundings! The death energy there was so thick that only cultivators of the Unification realm and above could go there.
Meanwhile in the Rising Talent academy. Yasenia was walking towards her quarters. Right now, she was considered an outer disciple. The disciples were divided by, outer, inner, and core disciples, then there were the teachers, elders, and headmaster.
This was the core of the academy. Apart from these, there were mercenary groups, merchants, and of course some mortals in towns and cities nearby. The currency inside the academy is credits or contribution points.
Depending on the class you attend you will receive a different monthly allowance. From red to violet outer disciple the allowances are: 10, 20, 50, 100, 150, 250, and 400. To become an inner disciple, one must advance to the Mental nourishing realm before 30 years of age, to become a core disciple one must advance to the Unification realm before 40 years of age.
If you want to continue in the academy and become a teacher, you must be at least a Dantian transformation realm cultivator or above, although there are exceptions.
The outer disciples are separated into batches of 5 years old, which means that you can fight with people 5 years younger or older than you. Ellie, Yasenias opponent was a 23-year-old girl which is four years more than Yasenia. Of course, one could challenge someone 10 years older than yourself, but winning that kind of battle is normally very difficult.
Yasenia reached her sleeping quarters, it was a house with three sleeping rooms, one kitchen, one bath per room, and a living room. It also had a nice backyard with some herbs planted. Simple and cozy. She was expectant of knowing her roommates!
Yasenia started to plan her days, ‘I lack the talent for alchemy, formations, or blacksmithing… I should approach people of these branches and befriend them. I hope some of my roommates are studying this…’
Yasenia remembered the people of the arena, ‘Well, first let’s hope they aren’t like those discriminatory people. Most of the people I have met are good though.’
While she was waiting in the living room, she heard the front door opening. Yasenia looked towards the door that was carefully being open and couldn’t help but smile in amusement ‘She is like a small animal, how cute. ‘
What entered the house was a wingless little angel! It was a petite girl with a height of 155 but a contradicting body with big breasts, a slim waist, and a curvy yet athletic little butt.
She had a head full of silky Golden hair that almost reaches behind her knees. Her eyes were big and slightly moist resulting in a tender and innocent gaze, her irises had a beautiful sky-blue color. Both of them stopped for a moment and looked at each other.
The parents of this girl gave her a very accurate name, Angel. She is a rare talent in both formations and cultivation. Her personality is kind and soft, yet, secretly she admires seductive tall women, wanting to be like them who normally walk around confidently, something she had never been able to do.
When Angel returned from her formation classes, she saw that the lights were on. This was extremely rare because she lived alone! She opened the door carefully and looked inside only to see the most beautiful and sexiest woman she has seen in her life.
When she was a little dazed at the door, she saw that woman stand and her impressive height and voluptuous body made her blood go to her head.
Yasenia moved towards her, her sashaying hips and lazily swishing tail accompanying her tall frame. Looking extremely seductive in her [Blood flower spirit] cultivation robes. She looked down and used one hand to hold her hair behind her ear while smiling “I’m Yasenia your new roommate.”
Yasenia winked and continued “I’m very lucky to have such a cute girl like you as my new roommate.” Angel’s face exploded in red! “I-I’m Angel! I, uh, me…” Angel looked down nervous and thought ‘Why is my stuttering appearing now!?’
When she got so nervous that tears were about to fall, she felt a warm palm caressing her head softly. Then, Angel heard a small chuckle followed by a calming and gentle voice. “Don’t be nervous, let us go inside, drink some water, and when you relax, let us speak in the living room. We are going to be together from now on so we don’t need to rush our presentations.”
Then Angel felt something warm and soft warping around her hand and pulled her with Yasenia towards the sofa in the living room. Looking at her hand, she saw the golden tail softly and gently coiling around her arm.
She couldn’t help but caress it with her other hand and she felt it twitch! She found it amusing, so, she was about to continue caressing it, but a finger flicked her forehead gently. “If you are going to caress it ask me first, the tail in this soft state is a little sensitive.” Then Yasenia uncoiled it and went to get two glasses of water.
Angel seated on the sofa, and a faint sweet floral scent tingled her senses. ‘What is this fragrance? Maybe she uses cologne like mortals or something else?’
Yasenia returned and saw the little girl sniffing the air softly with her little nose. Yasenia did more noisy steps so that she knows that she is returning and asked again “Now that you relaxed, how about you tell me about yourself?”
Angel responded with her silvery voice “I’m Angel, and I’ve been in this academy for one year. I go to the violet classes in the formations and cultivation branches.” Yasenia was surprised, this little girl is a genius!
Yasenia answered, “Like I said before my name is Yasenia and I’m a freshman, I’ve been placed in the violet cultivation class”
Then she added with a raised eyebrow, “Unlike you, I’m quite average in any of the professions so I only concentrate on the cultivation path.” Angel thinking she offended her became flustered again!
