Jason looked around with a condescending look on his face, and he made sure that all the Machina around were paying attention to him before he spoke over the loud sirens.
"Rejoice, Machina, for today you find death at the hands of Queen Gillian, the one true Queen of the Vympir. You have been chosen as the privileged first to gaze upon her majesty, and you will show your reverence!"
Jason’s power surged across the world of the Machina, and the full force of a TITAN Rank II slammed into every single Machina in the vicinity! The force was so intense that everyone was immediately thrown down to their knees, and Jason’s lips spread into an even wider smile when he saw this! Yes, this is exactly the position they should be in! This is where they belong! On their knees before the majesty! Jason finally opened his Alternate Dimension to allow Queen Gillian to appear, and Gillian slowly floated out from a ripple in the air and into the world of the Machina! Gillian took in a deep breath and closed her eyes with a heavy sigh as she felt a sense of accomplishment settling over her. It had been more than two hundred years since she dreamt of this moment! Two hundred years since she had been trapped within the [Cage of Eternity], dreaming and scheming for what she would do the moment she was released! Two hundred years of nurturing this hatred in her heart! And now she had finally arrived here, and she could feel her destiny arriving quickly!
"There is a creature known as the Chimera Slime. He has taken control of this world and made it into his domain. Find him for me."
Gillian’s order was simple, and Jason immediately took it to heart as he called on hundreds of subordinates! His subordinates flashed out from the Alternate Dimension in a wave of endless monsters, and they quickly began to make their way towards the seat of the Overlord! Jason sent another group of subordinates towards the Machina laboratories on the other side of the city, and he bowed his head to Gillian and responded.
"I have ensured that this scum will have no place to escape to, my Queen. On this day, you will find your revenge, and it shall be swift."
"Good. But I will not be content only with his death. I have suffered greatly at the hands of the Machina, for no fault of my own. It is only right that I bring them the same level of despair that they had once given me."
Gillian suddenly began to release her magic as she saw a large group of Machina soldiers approaching from the distance! Multiple long tendrils of dark shadow began to flow out from her body like tentacles, and they twisted and writhed in the air like snakes as they waited for her command! The pressure in the area suddenly tripled in intensity as Gillian’s magic joined together with Jason’s own to exert even more force on the people around, and Jason watched in awe as Gillian sent her tendrils out towards all the pedestrians and soldiers around her!
WOOSH!
The tendrils flew forward like arrows and stabbed into thousands of people! The Machina were all stunned by the attack since none of them felt any magic from the shadow tendrils! The reason for this was because the attack Gillian had just used was not magic at all! This was the same power that allowed Gillian to speak to Jason even when she was trapped within the [Cage of Eternity], and the final Attribute of the [Lord of Shadows] Arcane Art! This was the [Hands of Providence]!
Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!
The [Hands of Providence] stabbed thousands of Machina through their hearts, and Gillian raised her hand with a scowl on her face as her tendrils lifted the victims into the air! The Machina screamed and they tried desperately to break away from the tendrils as they felt themselves bleeding out! Gillian brought one of the Machina towards her, and she grabbed the woman by the hair and tilted the woman’s head to one side before she bit into her neck and drank! The Vympir were a race that could turn anyone they bit into Vympirs as well, but they had the freedom to choose whether or not to release their toxin anytime they bit anyone, and right now Gillian wasn’t interested in making this woman a Vympir! She just wanted enough blood to replenish her strength! The Machina woman’s body began to lose color as all the blood inside her was drained out, and it wasn’t until her body fully withered and she went still that Gillian pulled back and licked her bloody lips!
Gillian felt a great amount of energy flowing through her body as the blood rejuvenated her! Even though the Machina were known for replacing most of their body with machines, the woman that Gillian had bitten was just a civilian, so she only had minor mechanical augmentations, and her blood was more than enough to fill Gillian completely! Once Gillian was sure that she had gained back enough strength, she threw the woman’s dead body to the side, and her shadow tendrils flung away all the Machina that she had stabbed! As the Machina flew, Gillian let out a calm breath as that familiar sensation of absolute power came over her! It had been a very long time since Gillian used her abilities, but she could never forget what it felt like! That addictive feeling of knowing that you held the life of your enemy within your palms and that you could take that life at any moment you wished, was something that nothing else could replicate! Gillian focused on her connection with the bodies she had stabbed, and once she was sure she had her magic under control, she called on her mana and activated her innate [Blood Arts] technique!
[Blood Bomb] has been activated!
KA-BOOOMMM!!!
Massive explosions suddenly erupted across the world of the Machina as all the bodies blew up! Blood and metal rained down from the sky, and the Machina on the ground began to scream in fear as they ran away! Gillian threw her head back and laughed in pure ecstasy! This was the skill that had given Gillian such a dangerous reputation on the battlefield! She had killed so many enemy soldiers that her enemies became too scared to even call her name on the battlefield because they believed using her name would bring her wrath upon them! Instead, the enemies learned of another title that Gillian had earned, and it wasn’t long before every soldier referred to Gillian as the Blood Angel of the Battlefield!
Gillian’s ability allowed her to fuse her magic to the blood of any enemy she injures! And once her magic was inside the enemy, she could remotely detonate the enemy’s blood at anytime she wished, killing them in a massive explosion! On its own, this was already one of the most dangerous abilities on any battlefield since Gillian wouldn’t need to finish off any enemy before she was guaranteed victory! All she would need was a little cut, and any enemy would die a horrific death! But what Gillian had done with her ability was beyond what anyone could have predicted! After Gillian gained her shadow skill [Hands of Providence], she found a way to combine the two skills into one deadly ability that no one could escape! Gillian could reach out to thousands of enemy soldiers on the battlefield and injure them using her [Hands of Providence], and that injury alone would be enough for Gillian to activate her [Blood Bomb] skill and eradicate entire Legions of soldiers in one attack! This ability was so dangerous because no one could predict where it would come from! The [Hands of Providence] was an Arcane Art that did not need magic to be activated, so there was no way for the mages to track its movement! It could come from anywhere in the shadows to attack you, and once you were cut, there was no escaping your death!
