[Keltic_Spirit: Counting tally: 4 Non-barrier barriers. Original. I do have 1 question though, do all powers eventually encompass 'everything'? Ie, storage ability evolved to store anything attached to that item like momentum…read more.]

…

"Hahahaha! I'm going to be the fortress. Come all of you!" Luca walked forward.

Whenever there was a blood servant coming toward her, they would end up getting sliced by the blades on the outer circles.

There were a total of five circles that rotated at different angles, protecting her from all directions. Even if they tried to attack from above, she could take care of them too.

With her manipulation ability, she could actually change the angle of the circles.

However, the blood servants didn't know this. The high level blood servant noticed it and tried to attack her by shooting a volley of fireballs.

Luca simply pointed her palm toward those lightning balls that came from above.

She slightly lowered the angle of one of the circles and lined up the blades, turning them into several small fences. The fireballs ended up hitting these blades and exploding without even reaching Luca.

Still, Luca could feel the hot breeze coming from the explosion.

"Oh! It seems I can still be injured by an attack like that. The blood servant that enters my attack range is also still carrying the momentum, so it's not like they are just going to stop after getting cut." Luca furrowed her eyebrows.

As if realizing Luca's weakness, another high level blood servant placed her hand on the ground.

Suddenly, the ground underneath Luca trembled before suddenly shooting up into the sky.

"Wha—?" Luca looked surprised, finding the high level blood servants waiting for her to be in the sky. The fire witch seemed to have made several fireballs that she could shoot. The same applied to the plant witch, who had started growing a few trees that gradually reached the sky.

Luca furrowed her eyebrows. She pointed her palm forward, positioning the blades to receive the fireballs.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

She managed to block them, but the trees became a bit tricky. Because she had positioned several of her blades, she only had another ten blades that were closer to her to cut down the trees.

The plant witch skillfully controlled the growth of the trees in all directions, as if she were trying to trick Luca.

It was proven to be extremely effective. She cut down the branches one by one, but her ten blades had a hard time following the growth of at least fifty branches that came in all directions. She even had to constantly adjust her blades' positioning.

In the meantime, the branches kept growing, no matter how many times she cut them.

She could jump off, but she was afraid that the branches would grow fast enough to reach her. At that time, those branches might end up piercing her body.

'Kh. Did I become too excited because of this new way of utilizing my barrier? No, did I become too complacent? I was just exploring what I could do with this new utilization of barrier, but I ended up finding all kinds of weaknesses.' Luca gritted her teeth.

But all of a sudden, there was a shock wave produced from the ground. At the same time, everything was actually trembling, whether it was the ground that put her in the sky or the trees that were about to reach her.

In fact, they all started falling down as if something had cut them at ground level.

"Waaah?!" Luca panicked as she fell down along with the dirt tower. At that time, she actually found Lucas with a very long blade made of his barrier.

"!!!" Luca gasped. 'Is that blade… No, wait. Lucas is able to create a long wall… He can actually expand a blade made of barrier to create that long sword. In addition, the barrier we have is weightless since it's made of spiritual energy… I mean, essence. Does that mean…'

Lucas smirked while looking at his twin sister. "It's unlike you to be careless, Luca."

"Lucas!" Luca smiled as if she had just found her answer.

Theo observed their movements the whole time, ensuring that nothing went wrong.

At the same time, he noticed the comment.

He first glanced to the side, muttering inwardly, 'That mysterious guy seems to be observing for the time being. In that case, it must be because of what Agata has given me. I should still have some time.'

With that, Theo decided to reply to the comment first. "First of all, we need to agree with the definition of everything. Everything means all the things.

"In that case, I shall change the example this way. The Sword Saint's ability is to cut everything. On the other hand, what kind of everything are you talking about? People? Fate? Or even things at molecular level? You're saying something like momentum or natural energy…

"How about kinetic force? Gravitational force? I think the answer is no. In that case, that 'everything' is invalid. I believe that 'everything' is just a way to simplify the entire explanation for someone who is extremely strong.

"The same applies to Oliver's storage ability. For example, he is unable to store momentum unless it's actually attached to a tangible thing. Then, what if it's a photon? Or something close to the speed of light? Gathering it inside a storage ability and releasing it at once is going to be an extremely powerful ability.

"But the question is… can Oliver reach the atomic level? Even I am not sure about that. That's why I believe that reaching the peak is possible no matter the power, but I won't deny that some powers need more creativity or more hard work to do it. That's all it really matters to be honest."

Theo let out a long sigh. He had talked a bit too long for this one. As if noticing it or maybe trying to prevent him from talking, Theo suddenly noticed something from the left, the direction where the intruder was hiding.

"Oh! They are finally here. It's time for me to make my move as well."
