Chapter 647 - 623: Lightning Goddess

On the sixth floor, amidst a snow land, stood a blue-haired beauty with ocean blue eyes; behind her back were crystal wings. She appeared like a fairy.

This beautiful woman rubbed her hands together as though feeling cold; however, it was just an unconscious gesture; with her strength, this amount of strength should not be a problem, but she still did that because her body feels like doing something like that. 

''Seriously, to think that I escaped that hell to end up as the temporary guardian of this area. I wonder what this tower is thinking about. Well, I'll do my job because the reward is worth it after all. I wonder how the others are doing; I wish Lilith or Alex would be the ones to come first. The surprised look on their face should be worth something.'' Artemia mumbled with a bored look on her face. 

After leaving the fourth floor, she ventured into the fifth floor was she easily win against the Boss over there, and as a reward, she was sent into the sixth, into this location where she would act as the guardian; her role was to at least send two challengers back if they lost, the reward would be some extraordinary but the consequence for falling would be dreary as well she would be sent to the fourth floor where she experienced hell, for once Artemia did not believe that she would lose, she just wanted to make things more interesting by facing enemies such as Alex or Lilith, the challenge would be fun, crushing them with the privileges she got would be worth it.

Just as Artemia was getting bored as nobody strong came for an eternity, a small portal appeared, and from this portal, a man walked out; he wore a white robe and had a plain white mask on his face. 

The moment Artemia saw this man, she immediately identified him.

''Hoh! Finally, someone strong has come. Welcome, Ô worthy Challenger I'm-" 

Leonardo violently cut Artemia as he was not in the mood; he experienced a tough fight on the lower floor, so he was not in the mood. 

''Shut up bitch!" He shouted, not holding back; he was angry to see someone related to Alex and that bitch who discarded him so easily just because she wanted to get on Alex's good side; he would teach her sister a lesson, he would vent all his frustration on her. 

Artemia, who was making the atmosphere a bit lively before crushing this damned bug she had never loved, especially now that he got that disgusting scent on him, became angry. Still, she didn't show it on her face; she decided to trample on Leonardo so hard that he would never dare even to think of going against her in this life. 

Meanwhile, Leonardo, who didn't know the reason for Artemia to be here, decided to go all out since the beginning; golden lightning exploded from his body to momentarily block Artemia's vision while he unleashed his strongest ability. 

Upon seeing Leonardo's childish tactic, Artemia chuckled; she patiently waited for him to unleash his strongest attack. 

Leonardo, who was sure of his success, shouted shamelessly. 

''Come forth, Purgatory!!" 

Swoosh~!

Following Leonardo's declaration, the surrounding turned pin-drop silent and turned blinding dark. Every source of light lost its function. 

A sense of helplessness tried to grip Artemia's heart. But failed due to her strong mentality.

RIPPPPPPPP

In such this cold environment, just a mile behind the Artemia floating in the sky, a slit violently ripped open. 

The slit was not even as thick as a hair. Still, it was too bright, radiating glow of countless colors swirling as if it was the insides of a kaleidoscope tube.

Artemia, who sensed something malicious, hurriedly jerked her head at the slit. Some unwanted memories that were suppressed in her brain were forcibly awakened; she remembered what Lilith had told her and realized where the slit had led.

"Purgatory, huh? I wonder if it's the true one.'' Artemia mumbled, full of doubt.

Whoosh!

Before she knew it, ghost-like and demon-like figures appeared in the swirling colors, their expressions filled with hunger as they stared at Artemia wanting to devour her, leaving nothing behind; even though she was looking at them, it was not without precautions, her eyes were protected by a strong layer of lightning making Leonardo's purgatory to affect her mind, at least not easily as it would with the others that would face it. 

''Die!" 

Leonardo, who didn't lose his mind nor fainted after activating purgatory, immediately declared the ghost like a demon, and the ghastly chains tried to swallow Artemia. Truth be told, if she didn't go all out, she might die even with the privileges she got. To completely crush Leonardo, Artemia decided to use the ability that made her one of the strongest, the most feared. 

[Eighteen layered Lightning Chain: Seventeenth Form: Lightning Goddess!] 

Rumble! Ziiiii! Ziiiii! BOOM! 

A single bolt of black lightning bolt descended from the sky and struck Artemia; her crystal wings was evaporated, her body trembled violently before getting covered in violent black lightning, this black lighting temporary turned her blue hair dark, one of her eyes turned dark as well, her clothing turned dark as well, black lightning bolts surrounded her making Leonardo involuntary take a step back.

''Destroy!" It was only one word, but this word carried so much power that it seemed it wasn't a human who said it. 

Zizi! Kabooooom! 

Artemia's black lightning attacks have enough power, around 200,000,000 volts, creating temperatures over 10,000°C. That's enough power to destroy an entire island, which she did in the current situation; the whole snow was turned into an ocean, Leonardo along his demons were instantly erased; it was instant death.

Looking at the destruction she had caused, Artemia sighed, not happy with the result. 

''It's not enough; I should be able to destroy the whole floor if it was at my peak form.'' 

She forgot that this amount of damage could be considered exceptional for her current level; she was not even a demigod yet but could deal such level of damage.

Artemia quickly calmed down before restoring everything. 

''Let's wait for the next climber..'' She mumbled before closing her eyes.
