Divine Path System

Not a single word was uttered between the princesses.

Samantha needed the Fortune Spirit to fulfill the dream of equal palarian society.

Xeola wanted the spirit to help the mysterious powerhouse so that her grandma's lifespan could be extended.

This wasn't a simple battle for either of them.

It's the fight that could make or break the thing they hold closest to their heart. They're ready to kill and get killed.

Kaa! Shuaa!

The glowing lights of aura overflowing from the two flickered and flared. Then they clashed. The surging aura soared and the sky was split into two, the colors way more intense than normal.

Prince Robert's arrogant expression subsided. He carefully stored away the head and narrowed his eyes at the two.

His chaotic emotions urged him to prove his dominance.

'These two should bow before me. I'm the strongest!'

The Prince took a step forward and a spear materialized in his palm. The aura flowed out of his fingers and enveloped the spear, preparing it for the tough clash.

But before he could strike, the two colorful auras leaped at him like wolves. The sudden and well co-ordinated strike sent him flying.

'Fuck!'

Not just the Prince, but Varian who was ready to take advantage of the situation, Fourth who was breathing his last under Enigma's sword and Fortune Spirit who was recovering and trying to sneak away, all gasped at the unexpected development.

But as if they had prepared beforehand, Samantha and Xeola worked together.

"Argh, you we—cough! Come at me one by on—argh!"

Robert shielded his vitals and tried to break away from the torrent but the attacks kept falling.

They both seemed to despise the man who took the easy route and climbed to their ranks without putting in the effort. So, their strikes showed no hesitation and were really intended to kill.

Kacha! Saaa! Crack!

The sound of bones cracking, organs rupturing and vessels bursting was all too clear.

In complete contrast to his imagination, the Prince was being dominated by the two.

He tried to tell himself that it was because he was injured. But the rational part of his mind knew that he wasn't strong enough to fight both.

When another punch landed on his jaw and nearly blew his head off his neck, the Prince's eyes, which were filled with chaotic emotions, turned calm.

'Oh fuck! Fuck! What was I doing?'

Like a drunk guy who suddenly got sober, the Prince's rational side took control.

Everything he had done until now flashed in his mind and Robert wanted to beat himself up.

'I should've just taken the spirit and left. And that bastard, he was lying. Varian didn't die!'

The realization set in a bit too late.

But the Prince acted without hesitation. Realizing he had no chance now, he kicked the ground and forcibly distanced himself. The prince to pay was a severed arm and leg. Yet, he didn't care.

"Fourth, I'll fucking kill you!"

Screaming like a madman, Robert retreated at his fastest.

Xeola and Samantha wanted to pursue him. But even though they cooperated for now, they didn't trust each other too much.

And…

"Hey!"

"Euk!"

Two powerful auras fell on the Fortune Spirit that had barely recovered.

The princess attacked it without any reserve. Unlike the Prince who could at least face them and escape, the Spirit collapsed.

With eyes tightly shut as if it's in deep sleep, the spirit resembling a 14-year-old looked like a doll. Her dreamy white skin blurred, as if she's about to be erase out of existence and her very existence was faint, like she was a flickering flame before a harsh breeze.

The princesses didn't show each other too much hostility and carried the spirit toward the center of the world together.

"What the fuck…"

Watching their silhouettes disappearing on the horizon, Varian came out of the valley and cursed in an exasperated tone.

Enigma and Sarah followed with disappointed expressions.

For now, Sonya was staying in a hidden place Sarah built using some precious treasures.

"If they really fought to death, Robert would come out on top. It makes sense for them to cooperate." Sarah remarked.

"…It's a bit too rational." Varian sighed, his shoulders drooping.

Enigma raised a brow in confusion before pursing her lips. "We'll have to ambush them. I got some experience, just follow my lead. If we can take one of them out quickly, then we might stand a chance against the other."

"Do we really?" Sarah crossed her arms.

"Well," Varian hung his head. "The distance between each sub rank is getting disgustingly large. Heck, the difference within a sub-rank itself is ridiculous. If we take one out, I can defeat the other. But it'll be a long battle."

Enigma's brows furrowed lightly and her voice, while still calm and composed like always, couldn't hide her anxiety. "Then our lives depend on whether that old soul can recover his strength quickly or not."

"A dangerous gamble." Sarah rubbed her forehead.

If the three of them fought it out, then they could've easily killed Robert, snatched away the soul from Xeola and took revenge on Samantha. But things didn't go as planned.

"It's dangerous to go. Our chances of survival are pretty low," Varian shook his head with a sigh. "But if we don't go, that old bastard will definitely kill us. Almost certain death or certain death."

A heavy silence ensued as Varian looked at his wives. There was a hint of hesitation and fear in his eyes.

He didn't fear for his life. Not much.

It's just that if one of them died, the other two would follow.

He didn't want them to die with him. But he knew they'd do it. Just like even if they persuaded him not to, he'd willingly go to hell with them.

So, he hesitated.

'If I don't want them to die, I better go alone. But if I I should go alone, my chances of death soar, which in turn will lead to their deaths.'

"Pfft."

A small chuckle escaped Enigma's lips.

"Huh?"

Stepping on her toes, the lady in black wrapped her arms around Varian's neck and kissed him on the lips.

"Why are you hesitating so much? Death isn't scary. Not living is. And I've lived a great life. I even got to be your wife."

Her usually cold expression was replaced by a brilliant, loving smile.

"If we die here, we die together."

Like a snow mountain that had melted, the Enigma in front of him was overflowing with emotions. "If we live, we all live."

It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"Let's go!"
