"So, you are saying that we over prepared for this?" Jin asked as he folded his hands and leaned beside the jeep which they came out from, watching Peppers do her magic since there were basically no threats between them.

"I think the oversized robots in the Mecha World posed more threats than this. Though I honestly could not blame you for overpreparing." Peppers analysed the situation as the blackness of the beam that she cast out felt as if it was a spell that a Void Being would use. Space around it started to distort a little as if the beam was sucking not just any mana around the area but it was also sucking the reality around it.

"Considering the fact that if we did not attack when they had their armies separated, their overwhelming numbers were still a force to be reckoned with. And you know how Demon Rats can be. Even if I blast them all with one huge spell, the remaining could scatter and breed. Divide and conquer is still a relevant tactic which should be embraced." Peppers said as she could finally feel resistance against her black beam.

She smiled a little knowing that the Mage General Prideblood had finally decided to be serious in his fight and unleashed his lifestream energies that he had been hiding. He initially thought that the mage that was guarding Baal was using her ultimate skill and thus, decided to hold on until her mana expired.

Yet, the longer he held onto it, the more Prideblood realised that he had been toyed by her and the level of damage that the black beam had done could have annihilated him if he broke just one second of concentration.  Thus, he knew that he had to be serious in the fight if he wished to survive the attack.

He thought that Baal was the only magic user who could threaten him but this little girl had powers of magic that were beyond his expectations. However, Peppers did not have any quarters for him to rest the moment he broke the black beam of energy.

Once he had dissipated the beam away, Prideblood had been blasted with a series of black and white explosions which Peppers nicknamed the spell Salt and Pepper, where it was merely a series of manipulation of light and dark mana. She created that spell as a way to learn and understand the concept of Yin and Yang but as lazy as one could be hardworking, she got bored trying to understand the meaning behind it.

To her, it was merely a concept that worked because of limited resources and for her to have the entire universal mana pool, she could hardly understand why there was a need to have harmony between two elements. However, she continued her lessons because Lynn took time out of her busy schedule to teach her so that she could understand how cultivators truly work and how sometimes cultivators could excel at times when things became too difficult to handle.

But for now, Peppers was merely using the Salt and Pepper spell as a way to flaunt her results of studying to everyone in hopes that using the spell constantly would make her understand it someday.

On the other hand, Prideblood was trying his best to counter the Light and Dark Spell Explosions to the best of his ability. The only problem was that each time a pair of those spells exploded, the next set somehow got stronger and it became from \'troublesome to dispel\' to \'I don\'t think I will survive."

Still, the Mage General thinks that he might have the chance since he had the power of absorbing spells into his own… but that was assuming he was able to cast a spell of his own. Peppers had already prepared for that the moment she saw it at work when he and his Demon Rat Mages were fighting against Baal.

During her consecutive spell cast of Salt and Pepper, she purposely allowed Prideblood to have his own way by giving him a small window to cast a spell. Naturally, the Demon Rat Mage General fell for it and cast a wind arrow shower spell in hopes that quantity would beat the \'quality\' spells that Peppers had been dishing out.

Besides, those wind arrows would be absorbing those magical spells that Peppers released and they would be his revenge against the little mage girl. However, the more the wind arrows absorbed the mana of the Light and Dark elements simultaneously, the more it would negate the effects of spell absorption.

Prideblood was surprised by it as he saw his arrows merely dissipate the moment the light and dark element spells had been absorbed, forcing him to try again with another elemental spell. But even with earth arrows, the spells had been cancelled out once they absorbed both elements, making him confused why he could not counter attack.

"Hmm. I think I might start to understand a little bit of Yin and Yang." Peppers thought to herself as she saw the effects of those magic arrows being cancelled out. However such thoughts perished the moment she started casting more of the Salt and Pepper Spell.

Eventually, Prideblood lost all his mana just from defending and the black and white explosions killed him, without giving him the chance to retaliate using that lifestream energy bomb which he had kept as backup.

All he could hope was that the defences he had nurtured through the months of storing near the Lifestream Energy Bomb might prove to be useful against the attackers of his Undercity. "Besides, it will destroy them all if they aren\'t careful." Prideblood smiled to himself before his face got wiped off this world from the last pair of Light and Dark Explosions.

"Now all we are left with is the main antagonist." Peppers said as she floated up to the top of the car\'s roof and summoned out a bag of chips, waiting for the main event to start.
