Divine Path System

"Holy Shit!"

Varian abruptly turned his head and stared at Sarah blankly.

Realizing what she just blurted out, she blushed lightly and glared. "What?"

Varian fell silent for a moment and his eyes alternated between the giant snake and Sarah.

Should he first attack or talk?

He knew the answer.

"You curse, it's very cute." Varian smiled.

"?!@#" Sarah opened her mouth but no words came out. Stomping in frustration, she turned to the giant snake.

"It's all because of you. Why did you grow to be so long?" She cursed and covered herself with water mana.

Even in the light blue water, with the addition of mana, she glowed like a goddess in blue.

"Haa~" As Varian sighed, Sarah, clenched her fist and stirred the water mana around her.

Whoosh!

Like a missle blasting water, she reached the giant snake.

"Roooah!" The backwater snake was startled by a strong aura approaching it and was now completely awake.

By then, Sarah was already above the snake's head—the head which was as big as a fucking house!

Shuaa!

With a twirl of mana, she conjured a long but thin ice spear. The spear was mostly white except for the tip—the tip exuded an almost blinding blue light and it was also where most of the mana was concentrated.

To put it into perspective, that tip was enough to blow up a hill.

"Haa!"

Moving a foot back, Sarah forced all the strength in her body towards her arm. As a body awakener, the force she applied on the ice spear was so enormous that it started to shake violently.

If she applied the same force on anything else, it'd have broken to pieces. If the material subjected to the force was durable, then if Sarah throws it, that material would also have the power to bring down a hill!

As she stacked her water and body powers, Sarah shot the spear at the giant snake's head.

BOOOM!

Water was blasted out of the area and a null zone was formed in the surrounding five hundred meters.

Varian watched in shock as he felt the enormous power reaching the complete peak of level 6. Even though it was amplified by the environment, Sarah's power was truly terrifying.

'Let me see if we can end this here.' He thought and used his telepath powers.

"Kree!" The giant snake's eyes turned red as a severe pain stuck its head.

Whoosh!

Right then, the shiny blue light quickly reached the snake's head. To be precise, it reached the area between the snake's huge eyes.

"Roaagh!" Rather than hissing, the snake roared with red eyes and Varian had an ominous premonition.

Without hesitation, he teleported to Sarah in an instant and grabbed her by the shoulder.

Boom!

The moment he teleported away, it happened.

The area where Sarah was previously standing was suddenly filled with icy spikes and exploded violently.

Boom!

Water from the surrounding mile was blown away.

"Gulp." Sarah gulped nervously and stared at the monster.

The shining spear was about to strike down the snake.

Just one more second and it'd be dead.

Sarah's eyes however had no expectations. She and Varian knew from its previous attack that it wasn't going to be killed so easily.

Hisss!

With a sharp hiss, the black scales of the snake turned into ice-blue. Then over the scales, another layer of thin, but mana-rich ice armor was formed.

The spear struck the armor.

Boom!

Kacha!

The ice armor was instantly broken but the price was a significant drop in the spear's momentum.

Pa!

By the time it reached the snake's ice-blue scales, the spear was only able to leave a bruise.

"Really…" Even though she expected it, Sarah couldn't help but sigh.

Her amplified attack would've seriously injured, if not killed any peak level 6, but unfortunately, it wasn't her own power that was amplified.

"Atta—" Varian was about to say when he teleported them again.

Boom!

The location they were standing previously was instantly frozen and exploded with such a force that it'd have seriously injured any peak level 6.

"Cough. Cough." Varian and Sarah appeared a few hundred meters away.

Unlike the last time, they weren't unscratched now.

Their bodies were covered in a thin layer of ice and a few ice spikes were embedded into their body, causing them painful and chilly bleeding.

"Mana…shit." As the water mana wreaked havoc in his body, Varian flinched as his face instantly turned pale white.

He forced down the blood in his throat.

Feeling an imminent danger, he was about to teleport them gain.

"Let's attack separately," Sarah said and once again shot towards the giant snake.

As the stronger of the two, she decided to take attract the main focus. If she was with Varian, he'd be facing more risks.

Boom!

Varian teleported away, but due to the thin but potent layer of ice covering him, his movements were a bit slow.

So, he was a bit late.

Like a flood devouring a village, the violent water which glowed blue enveloped him.

"Grehh." Varian braced himself as he hurriedly covered himself with a barrier of lighting and telekinetic powers.

But both his lighting and telekinetic paths were far weaker than the giant snake's water path.

Boom!

The glowing water shrunk unto itself and exploded with an intensity enough to injure a peak level 6.

"Fuck!"

Varian appeared a few hundred meters away and clutched at his injuries…but realized that he was bleeding everywhere.

The cuts of ice spikes, the lightly broken bones, and the crushed muscles…it was a bad injury that could've been avoided.

As water filled in the null zone created by the fight, his blood mixed with the soft and cool liquid dying everything around him red.

Varian learned his lesson and didn't waste a moment before he teleported away once again and again and again.

His delay increased, but despite that, his quick action saved him as ice spears pierced through the area he previously stood.

Varian kept teleporting near and around the giant snake. He attacked it multiple times with separate powers to get an idea of his own power, but soon realized it was a bad idea.

By relying on only one path, he couldn't even break the ice armor.

So, Varian started using two powers, then three, and kept increasing the number.

Boom! Boom!

Meanwhile, Sarah's figure flickered as she moved at fast speeds around the humongous snake.

With each step, she'd attack the creature with a combination of water-body attacks.

While Varan's strength came from six relatively weaker paths, Sarah's came from two strong paths.

Considering that she was practicing them for years, she was significantly better than him at using them together.

Kacha! Kacha!

The ice armor always broke, but at the price of its own existence, prevented Sarah's attacks from having any obvious effect. The best she ended up inflicting was a larger bruise.

But without a shred of doubt, perhaps on herself or perhaps on him, Sarah kept dodging the ice attacks. But from the way she moved, she was under tremendous pressure.

From time to time, one of the attacks would brush past her and cause a cut on her skin.

'I should change the dynamic.' Varian muttered as he once again escaped from an attack using teleportation.

'Status'
