Volume 6, Chapter 32 – Awakening

Wrath.

Back then, when Samael still held primary control over Tianyin’s body, she had already used it once.

Its effect was that combat power doubled.

Of course, Tianyin herself was not very clear on the exact details, but she clearly remembered the state of Wrath when it was activated.

After all, back then the Black Dragon King had almost lost his old life to a single sword strike while Samael was in Stage of Wrath.

So the fighting strength of Wrath definitely was not weak.

But if Tianyin wanted to borrow the power of Wrath to help herself, there was another problem.

That was that she had to let herself get hurt.

That was right, the trigger for Wrath really was rather bizarre, but once Wrath was activated, Tianyin’s own combat power really could multiply at a geometric rate.

『So… Wrath, Samael… lend me your strength!』

She silently spoke this sentence in her heart and, at the same time, in the outside world, the spell that had been blasting toward her finally struck her.

With a muffled groan, Tianyin, who was not a player that could adjust her pain sensitivity, took the magic attack head-on. It not only dealt damage, it also brought pain that made her unable to hold back the sound that escaped her lips.

Flames scorched her, frost covered her, lightning crashed down.

All kinds of magical attacks landed on her body. Besides bringing pain to her body, Tianyin also felt the blood inside her growing ever more boiling, and the power inside her gradually starting to awaken.

Wrath.

This Original Sin was the first Original Sin power that Tianyin had obtained, and right now it was also the method that Tianyin instinctively wanted to use to deal with Seles.

The HP value at the edge of her vision had already dropped by about half. Although taking attacks like this head-on was very stupid, Tianyin could indeed feel her power increasing.

Power.

With this power… she could do it.

『Even though this is a move that hurts the enemy a thousand while hurting yourself eight hundred, Samael, in Stage of Wrath I suddenly feel like the Seles in front of me is nothing special.』

「Well, Wrath is one of the Original Sins after all. If it was not powerful, how could it be a power of Original Sin?」

Samael’s voice sounded faintly.

「But Xiaoyin, you absolutely cannot let your guard down in battle. The enemy also has the power of Original Sin after all.」

『Mm, I know…』

On the other side, Seles, who had personally watched Tianyin endure her magic attacks, also turned livid.

“Why did you not dodge? Xiaoyin, at your speed, you should have been able to dodge it, right?”

Doubt, confusion, bewilderment.

Seles’ heart was filled with these complicated feelings, and in her sight, Tianyin, who had just endured the magic, suddenly moved.

Bang—!

A sonic boom that tore through the air suddenly rang out. The ground under Tianyin’s feet cracked and sank in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, Tianyin, who had been standing in place, had already vanished.

“Teleport?!”

Instinctively, Seles assumed that Tianyin had used a space spell similar to those in magic. At the same time, Seles hurriedly tried to evade.

“Too slow, Seles.”

Tianyin’s voice sounded by her ear. The next instant, in the air, a sharp slash suddenly appeared, then swung straight toward Seles.

“When did…”

She could not figure it out. Seles simply could not understand when Tianyin had appeared at her side. Other than magic that could traverse space in the spell system, Seles really could not think of any other technique that could pass through her magic array and appear at her side.

At the critical instant, Seles subconsciously tried to dodge, but in Tianyin’s eyes, Seles’ movements were unbelievably slow.

“Too slow…”

She silently muttered this sentence in her heart, and the slash finally landed on Seles’ body.

Psh—!

Bright red blood spattered with Tianyin’s attack, and Tianyin’s sharp blade directly sliced through Seles’ flesh.

Blood poured without stopping.

She drew back her sword, Tianyin’s body leaving Seles’ side in an instant, then appearing very far away. In the place where Tianyin had just been standing, countless spells instantly shrouded that spot.

“I miscalculated…”

Watching Tianyin, who had already appeared far away in an instant, Seles spoke in a self-mocking tone, yet no pained expression could be seen on her face.

If not for the arm that had already fallen to the ground and Seles’ only remaining arm still pressed to the wound Tianyin had cut open, Tianyin would almost have thought that the one who was hurt was not Seles.

“Looks like… this is your real strength, Xiaoyin?”

Even though the wound was continuously pouring blood, Seles still spoke in a tone as if she did not care at all.

“This kind of strength… Honestly, in the end I really was just too careless, was I not?”

“As expected, only you, Xiaoyin, can hurt me. Obviously you are so tiny, yet you have such a powerful strength that makes people envy you, that makes people look up to you…”

“In this world, only you can so easily cut off one of my arms like this… Xiaoyin.”

Saying this kind of thing with her mouth, in Tianyin’s sight, a slightly excited smile appeared on the girl’s face.

“Come, Xiaoyin, kill me… or be killed by me!”

In response to Seles’ words, Tianyin curled her lip to show her disdain.

“You are so long-winded. Even if you don’t want to die, I am still going to find a way to kill you!”

Her longsword pointed straight at Seles, and on the face of the silver-haired little girl there was a dignity that allowed no doubt.

“Seles, only I can deal with my subjects. For someone like you who overstepped and hurt my subjects, the only thing I can give you is death, nothing but death.”

“If you want to repent, then repent to me in your next life!”

At this moment, Tianyin finally possessed a trace of the dignity and resolve that a monarch and a leader should have.

The idea of running away again, the idea of wanting to rely on others, was gone.

As a ruler, being able to command subordinates was one kind of ability, but at crucial times, taking responsibility was also indispensable.

Part of the reason Julius and Orgum had died lay with Tianyin herself.

But Tianyin had also already understood that as a monarch she could not let herself grieve over the deaths of her subordinates.

She was in the wrong, but knowing she was wrong was secondary. What was most important was still that she had to properly maintain the whole of Dawn and protect the whole of Dawn.

Drowning in grief was only a cowardly escape. When facing a powerful enemy, if she sank into sadness, she would only bring even greater harm to Dawn.

And at crucial moments, nothing was more effective and more inspiring than standing out in person.

“Seles, I am definitely going to kill you.”

“I will kill you…!”

Her resolve was already set in her heart, and after figuring it out, Tianyin once again launched an attack.
