Divine Emperor of Death

Nora Alstreim took a deep breath as she recalled. She was somewhat aware that the Purple Yang Star Lightning was given to the Conferred Queen, but to think that the Conferred Queen gifted it to this person...

If there was a doubt if Logan was still the strongest among the Conferred Queen's subordinates, then there was no doubt in her mind anymore. Only the strongest would receive the riches!

"Do you know the origin of your Purple Yang Star Lightning?" She asked.

Logan nodded his head, "Of course, although the important details weren't written, the description included that its origin was at the Purple Thunderflame Mountain located in an island over the southeast of the Grand Alstreim Ocean."

"Am I wrong?"

"You are not wrong." Nora Alstreim shook her head.

"The Purple Yin Star Flame and the Purple Yang Star Lightning formed on the precipice of the Purple Thunderflame Mountain. Billions of lightning from the skies struck the opening all year long, and the volcano below seethed lava in response as it rose. It was unknown what kind of change occurred after a long time, but the lightning gave birth to what we identified from the records, the Purple Yang Star Lightning."

"As for the magma that came out of the Purple Thunderflame Mountain, previously, it nurtured another Flame Essence in the past known as the Purple Star Flame, which ranked nineteenth in King Grade Flame Essences Chart, but now, it recently gave birth to what we call the Purple Yin Star Flame which turned out to be far stronger than the Purple Star Flame in intensity and furthermore, it is more suitable to women like me." Nora Alstreim's lips curved in contentment.

"When we collected these two Spirit Attribute Sources, they were like yin and yang, two sides of a coin. Hence the name..."

Nora Alstreim became hesitant but still said, "Do you feel the familiarity to my power?" 

"I do..." Logan nodded his head without missing a beat, "And what do you hope to accomplish by telling me all this?"

"Information..." Nora Alstreim raised her finger, "Since you're probably from the large Territories, you would have more information on these two Spirit Attribute Sources. Our records just have the Lightning Elemental's name and the description of its general powers. As for the Fire Essence, we have a reliable collection, but there are no records on this newly formed Purple Yin Star Flame."

"You see, information on Fire Essences, which is rare and unique like mine ends up being almost impossible to obtain, so I'm just trying my luck." She explained.

On the elevated platform, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim nodded his head.

A Young Mistress should be like this, also requiring to gather information for the family. One shouldn't underestimate a single piece of information. After all, a single piece of information answers the existing doubt, but it also gives birth to more questions, which in turn causes the collective knowledge of the family to grow!

"Then I would have no choice but to disappoint you. I practically know nothing about your mutated Flame Essence." Logan spoke in a rather assuring manner.

He didn't possess the habit of lying, or neither did he see the enjoyment in dragging her around with vain words. All he wanted to do now is battle her and congratulate her for sending Claire to him in the past!

For starters, he felt that he could start with a slap to her face, literally.

"Is that so?" Nora Alstreim became disappointed, "Then if we would battle with weapons or with her bare hands, you decide."

Logan spread out his hands, "I prefer bare hands so that I can feel the impact."

Saying so, he clenched his hands two times as if he was grasping the air. He so much wanted to hear the sound of a slap, and perhaps, he can let her get away with this alone for now. After all, it isn't as if they could do anything in front of the Ancestor's watchful eyes. He felt that animosity should be avoided at the start.

Nora Alstreim's expression trembled as a slightly red hue appeared on her cheeks. She didn't feel good in front of all these viewers, and furthermore, she didn't think someone would actually dare to humiliate her like this!

Obviously, she misunderstood that Logan tried to feel her up!

"Hmph! You are a crass man!" 

Nora Alstreim shot forwards as she descended, her hand stretched out at him like the talons of a magnificent bird! Her impression of this man plummeted, and the feeling of wanting to tear apart that mask and slap his face brewed in her heart!

Logan blinked, but looking at the purple-flaming figure descending towards him, he readied himself to curb the impact but dodged towards the side at the last second.

*Sizzle!~*

The purple flames hit the surface and caught fire as if the fires got attached to the martial platform. Even though it didn't seem to damage the surface, it still held on, burning with a cold yet mysterious effect.

Logan managed to avoid her rush and his first crackled with the purple yang lightning. He unleashed his enclosed fist at her, and the purple lightning flashed as it shot towards her like a lightning bolt, leaving a searing kind of hotness in its tracks!

Nora Alstreim didn't stop in her tracks as she instantly dodged the purple lightning attack by ascending towards the skies. Once she ascended to a hundred-meter altitude in an instant, she launched a barrage of purple flames plumes at him.

Logan didn't look to dodge but unleashed his own counterattack. He moved with class, and with a single hand, pointed at her with his five fingers as purple lightning bolts shot like threads. It accurately struck the five plumes of purple flames, destroying each other's attacks as they sizzled into disappearance!

Nora Alstreim narrowed her eyes.

They were equals!?

How!? The Purple Yang Star Lightning was just a High-Level King Grade Lightning Elemental, a level weaker than hers, but that should help her constitute a huge difference in terms of strength!

Logan didn't stop as he unleashed another barrage of purple lightning bolts with his other hand. It flashed through the air as it buzzed before striking Nora Alstreim.

Nora Alstreim snorted and simply unleashed a decent purple-flame barrier in front of her that was supported through her essence energy. Her essence energy revolved in her dantian, making it surge out her pores through her meridians as she supported the barrier.

*Bzz!~* *Bzz!~*

*Bzz!~* *Bzz!~*

Purple lightning continually struck her barrier as if it were perpetual in nature, but with her purple-flame barrier being supported by her essence energy, she inwardly sneered as she felt there was no need to take this attack seriously.

"Putting up barriers would sometimes work against you..." 

Logan appeared ghostly beside Nora Alstreim and struck out with his purple lightning clad hand. 

'What!?'

Nora Alstreim's eyes abruptly narrowed into two tiny slits as she turned and curled herself into a defensive position.

Logan's hand sizzled through the purple-flame barrier and struck out Nora Alstreim's wrists. Borrowing the force of the attack, Nora Alstreim shot back with the momentum and only stopped once she retreated a kilometer away.

She took her arm away from her head, revealing her lovely yet offended face. Her hands were trembling, not from rage but the remnant purple lightning that managed to get into her arm through her pores. She took a second to eradicate the purple lightning with her purple flames, and in the end, she was not harmed much.

"I admit that I underestimated you a bit." Nora Alstreim unwillingly spat out from her mouth.
