Village Head's Debauchery
chapter-1079

Research Centre

Within a room designed with enchanted Vylkr alloys, Orion, the Key Leaders, the leaders of the Healers Association, and the Primserions' Divine Apostles stood side by side beside a massive, magically reinforced glass window displaying the vast room beyond it.

The other room was artificially made to mimic the dead, rocky plains of the earth below. The sleek walls were adorned with various runes flickering on the surface, while the ceiling radiated light, mirroring the yellowish-orange hue of the outside world's sun.

A woman clad in a full-body suit of armour, radiating the aura of a seasoned warrior, stood on the vast rocky plain. Through the visible gap in her helmet, a One-winged crest shimmered with divine light on her forehead. Her expression was stern, fixed on the woman before her.

The second woman, in stark contrast, wore a long skirt that stopped just above her ankles, with a daring slit rising to her waist. A piece of cloth was wrapped around her chest and back, tied securely at her neck.

On her feet were brown slipper sandals that complemented her attire. An inactive Gear Devourer was hoisted on her back, its straps fastened around her shoulders for support, while a Vylkr Fusion Armlet was on her left wrist.

The armoured woman was Iris, and the woman before her was Kaslaya, one of Paradise's new Four-star warriors.

"I can handle any damage you deal, so don't hold back. I want to feel your true strength and confirm if the rumours are true," Kaslaya said.

Iris nodded in understanding. She had trained with the warriors long enough to undertand that it would be foolish to underestimate their strength.

Kaslaya vanished from her position and, in an instant, appeared above the armoured figure, her leg slicing through the air, targeting Iris's head.

Star Guard Shadows!

A burst of divine light shone outward from the One-winged crest on her forehead, transforming into a divine barrier that instantly enveloped her entire form.

As the foot collided against the divine shield--

BOOM!!

The impact created a shockwave that shook the atmosphere, stirring up winds that spread within a 10-meter radius of the ongoing battle.

Despite the force behind the attack, the divine barrier remained intact and spotless, effortlessly resisting the impact.

But as Kaslaya's feet collided with the barrier, another terrifying force surged from her feet, smashing against the divine barrier a second later.

BOOM!!

Shockwaves spread over tens of meters as three tremendous forces erupted from Kaslaya's feet in three seconds. It was as though Kaslaya was immune to the repelling force of her own attacks, instead utilizing the kinetic energy to deliver consecutive, terrifying blows to her opponent.

Alas, her attacks were still ineffective, barely scratching the surface of the barrier. Kaslaya's smile tightened before growing larger. She immediately activated her Vylkr Fusion Armlet, and almost instantly, countless strands of Vylkr energy spread from her left wrist to every part of her body. The Vylkr energy flared brightly as she spun mid-air before her feet could touch the ground, her other leg targeting Iris's neck.

BOOM!! CRACK!!

This time, she unleashed four consecutive strikes in four seconds, shattering the divine barrier.

Witnessing this, Iris jumped backwards, distancing herself from her opponent.

The entire confrontation had occurred in just ten seconds.

Within the suspended room on the side of the wall, Zogar observed the battle below. "It seems that any energy except Vylkr energy will be ineffective in breaking the Divine Barrier," he remarked, nodding in approval at Kaslaya's method of attack. He didn't mention Primordial energy, as it was in a class of its own.

The others nodded in agreement as they watched the ongoing battle.

The rest of the Prismerion Divine Apostles sighed inwardly, realizing that even with their newfound power, they could still not compete against warriors adept in utilizing Vylkr energy. However, they didn't feel too discouraged. With the recent discovery of the Divine Apostle Crest capabilities, they were confident they could increase their strength and eventually catch up.

Orion also nodded, though a frown creased his brow.

The BEM (Base Energy Measurement) of both combatants below was displayed before his

eyes.

Kaslaya- [ Energy Level-2,430 BEM]

Iris - [ Energy Level - 2,278 BEM]

After devouring the spirit beast's essence, Iris gained a 280 BEM increase, which was astonishing given the medium she had utilized to attain it. They had agreed to take time later

to research and uncover how the process worked.

They had wanted to find an opponent on the same level, but it was impossible. Since they received their Vylkr Fusion Armlet, which allowed them to break through their limitations, this thirst for power surged to even greater heights.

Orion knew the power of divine skill since it protected the Prismerion Divine Apostles from White Flame's onslaught. He couldn't help but wonder why it had broken so easily.

Or was it a one-time occurrence? Its initial strength might have been explicitly amplified to deal with White Flame.

He made a mental note to remind Selene not to use her divine skills unless necessary, even as their powers grew.

Outside the room, Kaslaya spun effortlessly in mid-air and landed on the ground, her eyes fixed on Iris. Her stance remained unchanged, as though she was anticipating an attack from

Iris.

Iris nodded and swiftly activated another of her divine skills.

Light Strength Growth!

A surge of immense power erupted from her Divine Apostle crest, filling her entire being with overwhelming strength. Her magikal energy, infused with incredibly dense wisps of divine energy, surged and wrapped around her body.

[ Energy Level - 2,340 BEM]

[ Energy Level - 2,580 BEM ]

[ Energy Level - 2,900 BEM ]

Her body glowed with a brilliant aura, transforming her into a war goddess poised to triumph

in any battle, contrasting sharply with the Kaslaya, who seemed ready to destroy everything

in her path.

Soon, her aura wholly stabilized.

[ Energy Level - 4,278 BEM ]

A frown formed beneath Kaslaya's mask as she witnessed Iris's current BEM, which had skyrocketed to a terrifying 4,278 BEM from 2,278 BEM-a staggering increase of 2,000 BEM.
