Every awakener has to go through high-intensity combat-related situations quite often in their life while conquering dungeons and fighting powerful monsters.
In such situations, communication between allies needs to be fast, efficient, and to the point.
Thus, all students of the academy and various other battle schools are all taught the skill of communicating in sign language and code words so that they wonât have to say long sentences mid-battle.
The same was obviously true for Lia too.
As a top scorer in all subjects and a top scorer in the entire class overall, Lia was perfectly capable of using code words too.
Moreover, she had established various kinds of code words according to her own unique circumstances and capabilities that would seem like useless words to others but would be very meaningful to her allies.
Kai was one of those close allies, and although the code word Lia spoke about seemed very difficult to understand from othersâ perspectives, it was easy to understand for him.
[O9, 34A, 52W...]
âOâ referred to âOrder,â and combined with â9,â it simply means âOrder No. 9.â
Kai was Liaâs servant and her companion both; she had long established a set of orders for Kai to remember, and he knew exactly what âOrder No. 9â was.
âWe will not retreat from this battle.â
Thatâs what Lia ordered Kai with that code word.
Then came 34A; the âAâ was referring to âAttack,â and â34â referred to âPercentage.â
âAttack with 34% of my mana.â
As for 52W, the âWâ was for âDefensive Wall,â and â52â was referring to 52 meters.
âCreate a defensive wall of 52 meters.â
There were quite a few more code words afterward that told Kai to see the opportunity himself and target the âdemonâ she had asked him to with his attacks.
Usually, Lia doesnât use these code words often, but with so many powerful demons and so much corruption in the area, itâs possible that their telepathic communication could be intercepted and heard by enemies with the power of miasma.
Although it was very unlikely for such a thing to happen, Lia liked to be cautious.
[Are you sure you want to do this, Lia? Consuming so much of your mana and energy just to save these fairies that are long dead in the past and have nothing to do with you at all?]
[To me, this seems irrational...]
Hearing Kaiâs question, Lia replied in a confident tone,
âI have a feeling... my âpredictionâ ability is telling me to keep fighting and not abandon the fairies...â
âMoreover, even without the urging of the prediction ability, I would have still not retreated... after all, I didnât come so far just to retreat in face of slight difficulty...â
Kai couldnât make sense of Liaâs so-called âpremonition,â but as she was his master, he dared not disobey her orders and got to work right away.
[Well, try not to faint; I am going to use quite a bit of power in this one...]
Kai looked at the massive tsunami waves rushing towards him with immense rage in hope of crushing him to death and sneered.
"Bad news for you, âDefective Pieceâ; I just got permission from my master to be reckless. Letâs see if you can withstand this one!"
[Cosmic Order Manifestation: Blessing of The Cosmos: Wall of Pure Divine Might!]
*SHIIMMMMM!!!!!*
As if the heavens themselves were split apart into two, a massive wall made up of pure golden light descended from the sky, split the dark clouds, and fell on the ground.
The massive wall made up of pure divine spirit magic was radiating with such dense divine purification magic that the moment the sea waves of the miasma-filled attack came in touch with it, they evaporated on the spot!
Rahnâs attack, which he created by sacrificing the vitality of hundreds of his own subordinates, was completely purified and obliterated by just touching that wall of pure divine might!
*AHRRRR!!!!*
A horrified shriek spread in the entire area, catching everyoneâs attention.
And those who looked at the source of the shriek noticed with shocked eyes that the massive wall summoned by Kai had fallen right upon the demon mage who had been bombarding Lia with dark magic spears until now!
"Hoho... it hit perfectly!"
Indeed! Kaiâs target wasnât Rahn in the first place! The main target Lia had asked him to deal with was the demon mage who had been floating near the temple of nature while bombarding Lia with powerful spells until now.
The massive wall fell right upon him with such speed and might that he didnât even get the time to cast a basic miasmic shield and ended up getting crushed and completely purified by the effects of the giant walls radiating purification magic!
Not only did the massive wall protect the fairies and the temple of nature from the dark flood, it killed the demon mage that was annoying Lia and completely nullified Rahnâs attack on the spot!
Seeing this, Rahn was so infuriated that he stomped the air, used it as a platform, and launched himself at Kai to fight him in close combat!
"I WILL F*CKING KILL YOU!!!! DIE YOU SH*TTTY LION!!!"
Kai immediately jumped aside to dodge the attack and then hit Rahn with his tail swing, which Rahn defended with another punch!
Rahn had already figured out that it was pointless to try to shatter that wall or use miasma against Kai, so he had no other choice but to engage in close-range combat.
Although he was not stronger than Kai in close combat and had no specific advantage, he was able to keep Kai busy because Kai was now even weaker than before doing this âwallâ attack.
While defending against several of Rahnâs sword attacks with his claws, Kai glanced in Liaâs direction briefly while thinking to himself,
âI leave the rest to your kiddo... donât die in a place like this; you have brighter future waiting for you after all...â
Kai and Liaâs telepathic connection broke the moment he used so much of Liaâs power; to save power, there was no other way but to close this connection.
It was risky, but there was no other choice left.
