Chapter 1318 The Matriarch and Yoruichi part 4

The gush of Spiritual Power originating from a few points of Yoruichi's body transformed into an almost tangible force. This force weighed down directly on everyone's souls and instantly broke several seals that protected the room from outside influence.

"So she can release this much... Have you seen this?" Corvina calmly asked Gwenn while gesturing to Adrenna to shield Stralit and herself in the corner.

[Yes, but the same as the first time, I'm still in awe now that I'm seeing it again.] Gwenn replied with her eyes shining.

Corvina glanced at Gwenn for a few seconds before returning her sights to Yoruichi, "I see. And what did you see back then? Knowing you from the stories I heard from your father, you probably kept this a secret because it's interesting, right?"

[...I don't know what that nosy old man told you, but you're partially correct.]

And while they were talking, Yoruichi finally fully released her seals, giving her access to her entire strength, "Shunkou, Raijin Senkei(Flash War Cry, Thunder God Battle Form)."

Corvina and Adrenna's eyes went wide and the both of them hurriedly dived into their shadows, escaping the vicinity.

The next instant, a large column of lightning engulfed the whole room, eradicating it down to its foundation.

A few seconds later, Corvina, Adrenna, and the unconscious Stralit reappeared a few kilometers away. Since the security features of the room were already broken before Yoruichi completely exploded, they were able to travel through the shadows. And even though they managed to get away, they still could see the large column of lightning that pierced through the sky and could feel the immense pressure she was releasing that no normal being could stand up against.

[...A radically different way of Spiritual Power utilization.] Gwenn's voice rang out from Corvina's terminal, [I've seen it twice but I still can't believe that something like this is possible. It wasn't just absurd, it was completely idiotic, inefficient, and frankly speaking, suicidal. If an Etoulde tried that method, their own Spiritual Power would burn them to a crisp before they could even make use of it. Of course, I'll keep this a secret! Forget about explaining it to anyone, I'll completely lose my reputation if I even alluded to this fantasy-like situation!]

Having to listen to Gwenn's rant while watching Yoruichi emerge from the disappearing column of lightning with a circle of dense electrical energy behind her, Corvina replied, "Now that I see it too, perhaps you can now tell me what you're seeing?"

[There seems to be gateways that allow her to release her Spiritual Power like this on her wrists which is probably directly connected to her soul.]

"What a surprise to hear that from you. Probably?"

[Her Spiritual Power is moving too fast for my eyes to see anything clearly. I can't even estimate the amount of Spiritual Power she has but if I were to guess, just a bit less than yours.]

"Hooh?" Corvina let out an impressed tone as there are only a few among the many Etouldes that match her in terms of Spiritual Power.

[Not just that, she's also utilizing Ki which, I'm just guessing, is what's keeping her body intact.]

"Is that clever or her just forcing it to use Spiritual Power this way?"

[That I can't make an assessment. These two types of energies are intricately woven together so it must be doing something more. As I've said, I'm just guessing and to add, trying to make sense of what I'm actually seeing.]

Yoruichi was looking around, observing her surroundings. Corvina knew that she wouldn't be attacking immediately because instead of her home planet, they were actually on a completely different one. A rocky and barren planet perfect for hiding things underground, 'That room and Shadow Gate was an expensive investment and it was destroyed just like that.'

"So I just have to block her wrists to completely stop her?"

[Nope. If it was that simple, then there's no way she'd be doing this. Besides, I'm still trying to figure out how she's manifesting this phenomenon. It's completely opposite of how we-]

At this moment, however, Yoruichi is done observing and suddenly appears in front of Corvina via a bolt of lightning.

"!?" Corvina jumped back but the speed that Yoruichi showed was unexpected so she couldn't completely dodge and could only cover her skin with her shadow.

With a fist containing dense lightning, Yoruichi burnt Corvina's shadow itself and sent her flying back while also obliterating the terminal in her hand.

Yoruichi didn't immediately follow up and instead asked, "Still not convinced?"

The arms that Corvina used to block Yoruichi's fist were scalded, nevertheless, it was not even a minor injury and her shadow soon regenerated to cover her skin, "Interesting and intriguing to say the least. However, still far from satisfactory."

Yoruichi couldn't feel Corvina's Reiatsu like she normally would with other Spiritual Power users. The movements of her Spiritual Power were very subtle, almost to the point of perceiving it as completely inactive. Even then, Yoruichi knew that something big was coming.

She tried getting away, but the darkness was faster. It was already too late for Yoruichi to realize that Corvina's shadow extended all around her, painting her entire world black. Much worse, Yoruichi was actually already acquainted with this darkness, 'How the hell could she just explode like this!? This is cheating!' Yoruichi internally screamed as she tried regaining her senses back but to no avail. It was the same darkness that she went through to reach the secured room, but this time, the guide was actively trying to harm her.

Yoruichi completely underestimated Corvina after seeing Stralit and Grenlan's files and how they use their [Shadows].

'She might be a monster on the cusp of reaching Transcendence.'
