1895 Breaking the Compound Domain With Sin Series Authority
Mark of the Seven Sins: Domain of Lust.
Authority Domain.
Jolly spread out his hands and released the Sin Series Domain.
The layer of Lust Mana he summoned with his domain manifestation directly conflicted with the isolation barrier erected around the ruined castle.
Chi. Chi. Chi. Sparks flew, and two different forms of Lust Mana layers clashed against each other.
This was a clash between the two Sin Series Authorities.
Jolly could let Eren handle this matter. However, Eren would have had to use Sin Series Edicts to overwrite the Lust Domain cast as an isolation compound barrier.
An Edict would have turned the barrier cast by anyone using the Sin Series Mana, changing its ownership. Within a moment, it could have been turned into a barrier cast by Eren himself. From then on, it would only obey the rules set by Eren himself.
However, there was a huge drawbackâEren's consciousness would have to face the will of Asmodeus when he was about to use the Edict over the barrier.
This was why Eren had never wielded his Sin Series Abilities as Edicts. Doing so would have revealed a lot about him to his enemies. Unless he found a way to wield the Edicts conspicuously, the butcher had decided that he would not use the Edicts carelessly anywhere unless he absolutely had to.
The domain manifestation, or in better terms, domain expansion, was how one defined the space they wanted to exert their will on. A Domain Authority was when one established their authority in that defined space. This was when one could wield intent-based mana with such potency that it had the potential to break the rank restrictions.
However, a Domain Edict was the ultimate ownership of the space. It could allow the Edict user to rob the authority of other domain users of that particular intent-based path or Mana type.
Since Eren couldn't wield the Sin Series Edicts, there was practically no difference between him and Jolly when it came to dealing with the compound barrier cast as a form of Lust-Mana-driven domain. As such, Jolly didn't bother Eren for this job.
If Jolly couldn't overwrite someone's authority using the Edict, he would have to corrode the authority that someone had placed on the isolation barrier over time. The Edict represented the ultimate lordship one inherited because of their origins or penultimate status whereas the authority could be established after constant battles with one's opponents.
Jolly took a while to corrode the authority integrated into the compound barrier. But he still fared a lot better in dealing with the compound barriers compared to the other S-ranked entities.
After all, the damaged castle was only part of the ruins that Jolly and his two female companions had found. At this point, several other practitioners were exploring the other parts of the ruins, trying to get access to the forbidden zones protected by the compound barriers.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
The compound barrier shattered from multiple places like a glass dome being hit by stones hurled at it from various directions. Soon, the cracks spread and turned into the shapes of spiderwebs before the entire compound barrier was broken apart, dispersing into thin air as if it had never existed in the first place.
"Haah! Finally!"
Jolly took labored breaths, a wave of satisfaction washing over him when he realized he was finally able to crack the compound barrier open. He had exhausted almost all his mana reserves to chip away at the compound barrier's authority over time.
Thankfully, it was Jolly and not anyone else from Eren's pseudo-avatars who was put to this task. It would have been a lot more difficult for any of Eren's avatars to break the barrier if they didn't have the Mark of Lust on them.
"Almost two hours, huh? I thought it would take you much less time to get rid of this thing," Yona said with a voice tinged with dramatic disappointment as she looked at Jolly.
Veins on Jolly's forehead popped out in annoyance when he heard Yona's uncalled-for remark. "Yeah? I'd let you break these types of compound barriers next time we find one. Let's see how fast you are with your abilities," he said while looking at the goddess's incarnation.
Yona knew that Jolly had been very fast in getting rid of such a high-grade Sin Series compound barrier. What the group of S-ranked practitioners could do in a matter of four or five days was done by Jolly in just a few hours.
Jolly's feat was even more impressive because it was he who had gotten rid of the barrier, and not Eren himself. Even as one of Eren's pseudo-avatars, Jolly stood out with his talent in wielding the Sin Series Powers.
However, Yona liked to tease Jolly whenever she could, for some reason. It could be said that the friendly neighborhood witch-like aspects of the original Witch Goddess Two Lips had been transferred to Yona.
Yona of the Night could act coquettishly one moment before planning a murder the next. She would diligently do what was expected of her for some time before doing something completely unexpected.
If the Goddess Great Mother represented stability and nurturing of nature, the Witch Goddess Two Lips represented the chaos that one could find in their surroundings.
Both were completely opposite and yet felt like the two sides of the same coin, like two polar opposite aspects of a particular divinity.
"Hehe. I was only kidding," Yona said playfully and laughed. "Why do you get so defensive? It's not like I didn't trust you. You broke the barrier just like I thought you would. Shouldn't you be praising me for putting my faith in you in the first place?"
Jolly was about to say something to Yona with a frown on his face. But before he could do so, his wife interrupted.
"Alright. No time to waste. Let's get in," Shaai said before she walked into the ruined castle's main entrance. One could see that she didn't like it when Yona interacted with her husband in any way. Even arguments were seen as a form of flirting by Shaai.
"After you," Jolly said as he followed right after a visibly irritated Shaai.
He could only smile wryly to himself when he thought about how he was metaphorically getting crushed by the silent power dynamics between the two S-Ranked ladies.
'No wonder my main self is so focused on his path,' Jolly thought to himself and sighed.
