However, she merely moved her lips as a faint as Luna immediately disappeared from her spot and appeared right before Yohr as she sliced at Yohr's tail that was binding Damien.
Her sword severed through his large tail like butter as blood gushed out, making Yohr growl in pain and anger as he stumbled backward while Damien somehow got free.
"Is this how you treat your loyal servant?!" Yohr fumed as his tail immediately regenerated to form a new one and lashed at Luna.
Luna swiftly dodged his tail, but the next moment she found her spirit body getting sluggish and sensed an ice storm building up inside this cave that was slowing down her movements and even decreasing the visibility, though that didn't matter to her.
Yohr's eyes had turned a mystical blue as he summoned an ice storm that immediately blew through the entire cave and dropped the temperature even lower.
Damien couldn't help but hug himself as it was becoming too cold and even his ethereal energy found it hard to shield him from the cold. He never thought Yohr would be conjuring an ice storm right inside, and he could barely see what was ahead of him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Oh no! He created an ice domain!" Kalypso shouted in worry, and Damien, who heard her, became very anxious since he had heard from Luna before what a domain was.
And that was why he only had a bad feeling about this since even a simple domain was said to let a cultivator have absolute control over a certain area by releasing his elemental powers and controlling them in whatever way he wanted. They would be the absolute masters of that certain region and even allow them to have the edge over their opponents and suppress them gradually.
So he could only imagine the worst-case scenario if a god was to unleash his domain. And even if he knew it wouldn't be as powerful as Yohr's true domain due to his weakened state, he knew it was not something he could dare underestimate.
He lost sight of Luna and Yohr and had no idea if Luna was alright. He immediately spread out his spiritual senses and had his brows pull together when he sensed that Luna was trapped by ice. Her legs were covered by a layer of ice that forced her feet to stay on the same spot.
"You care about that mortal so much?" Yohr shouted, feeling indignant and jealous since not even in the past had she shown him a fraction of such favor no matter how hard he had always tried to please her.
He wouldn't even receive any kind of acknowledgment from her no matter how much he worked his ass off, and most of the time, he wouldn't even get to see her unless it was something very important that concerned a lot of worlds or other gods.
Luna didn't reply but instead scoffed as she made herself ethereal for a moment and phased out of the ice, "You are just an unworthy dog! Not worthy enough to be compared to a mortal."
Luna's cold and caustic reply made Yohr feel as if someone was tearing his skin out. However, what followed was an ethereal attack as she swiftly cut a semi-arc in the air, creating a large arc of sword energy that shot towards Yohr's necks.
She obviously wanted to cut all of his heads at the same time and get it over with. Yohr's eyes widened as he immediately used all his ethereal energy to defend himself but was shocked when he found out that his defense was crumbling like a paper wall as the arc of sword energy continuously closed in towards his neck.
He had no choice but to gather his own soul energy to reinforce his defense. This was a move he never wanted to use since it would mean that centuries of his hard work would go to waste. But most of all, his ethereal cultivation would drastically fall since defending against a supreme god who once ruled the universe was no joke.
This time Luna had used not only her mystical sword skills but also her own soul force so that she could end this once and for all. But she knew that with how stingy she was with her usage of her soul energy, Yohr wouldn't go down that easily, but she could at least weaken him to the point where it wouldn't be that difficult to kill him.
Despite using little to no energy for using her ethereal sword skills, it was not without a price. After all, her sword heart was resonating with her soul, which meant that in the end, her soul was manifesting her Sword Will into reality. It was also no ordinary Sword Will, but at a higher realm than Damien's, that was more profound and powerful.
There was a limit to how many times she could manifest them. Otherwise, she could have gone all out and chopped Yohr into mincemeat a long time ago.
The only advantage she had by using only her sword skills was that she could fight for longer while minimizing her losses, though it would still cost her a lot of progress she had accumulated all these months.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was why she wouldn't even help Damien unless the situation was too dangerous, where Damien would surely die without her help, just like the present situation.
Yohr's defenses still crumbled, and slash marks appeared on all of his necks, making his appearance look quite bloody and pitiful as he collapsed on the icy floor.
Yohr's eyes rippled with fury as he looked at the Ethereal One and said, "You said I am just a dog compared to that weak mortal. Then…let's see if you can say the same after he dies," Yohr sinisterly said as he immediately sensed Damien's location and made a myriad of ice spikes stuck to the cave's ceiling fall towards his head.
"No!" Luna never thought this measly god would be shameless enough to directly attack a mortal. But this wasn't surprising considering how he even took Damien hostage before.
"Master, look out!"
Damien was taken by surprise as he raised his head and saw dozens of sharp ice spikes falling towards his head. But the worst thing was that he could hardly move his body under this ice storm and was even unable to channel his ethereal energy to use his movement skills.
Luna immediately moved her hands in the air and disintegrated all the ice spikes that were about to fall onto Damien's head. But in doing so, she got momentarily distracted, and Yohr used all his ethereal energy and soul force to condense a powerful spirit beam from all his mouths and blasted them onto Luna, who couldn't dodge them because of being busy protecting Damien as Yohr was continuously sending ice spikes one after the other towards Damien.
Yohr held a great advantage over Luna in terms of his energy reserves, especially his ethereal energy, because of which he was able to make use of his ethereal arts to a certain extent without worrying about killing himself.
But by unleashing all these spirit beams, Yohr again had to sacrifice the majority of his cultivation he had saved up.
Because of this, Luna could only watch as all those powerful spirit beams struck her body and blasted her off by a few feet before, making her crash down an icy wall as the wall crumbled down with her beneath it.
"Luna!" Damien couldn't see what was going on, but with his spiritual sense, he sensed Luna getting struck by Yohr's attacks and collapsing on the floor.
