Chương 308: Chapter 291. Round 2's Ups And Downs

With the high speed of him flying away from me and crash landing on the cold hard ground, I was given a second to catch my breath. Most likely, with his Enhancement Spell, his physical abilities have reached somewhere around where my Father is in terms of physical abilities... no I'd say he's probably above him. But he's not so far above that I can't follow him with my eyes. This isn't going to be like when he first appeared.

The amount of mana that he's used against all of us throughout this fight has to have him fighting against time at this point. /THOOM! /"!" Bend! /CLANG! / But just because he's on fumes doesn't mean that I can drop my guard, a wounded and cornered animal is still a dangerous animal. Thankfully, his habits haven't really changed. That teleport that he loves to use is still readable, once I hear the sound I just need to guard from behind. His swing may be heavy, but I can handle it. /WHOOSH! / Lighten...

And thankfully I'm not alone. This time, a blade of wind flew at his arm and made contact. It did no damage, but it did lighten his blade against my halberd. /Swish! / Swing! /Thump! / I moved my halberd swiftly and tripped him with the tail end of it. Punch! /BANG! RUMBLE! / I thrust out a fist full of killing intent aimed for his skull, but I missed as he dodged at the last second. My fist hit the ground and I could already tell that he was looking for a killing blow to land on me.

"!!!" Raise! /Thump! / Pressure! A kick was aimed at my throat, but I blocked it with my forearm. He jumps up to his feet in the time it takes me to retake my stance." Well, well, well. Who would've thought that you'd take my kick like it was nothing? I guess I am a little tired." He spoke nonchalantly, but I was quite glad that I took that kick. Since now I know I don't need to fear his unarmed attacks, I just need to watch for his sword now. /WHOOSH! / Kick!

Another fireball aimed for his head; this time he swatted it out of the air with his sword. That gave me enough time to run at him. I aimed my halberd for his chest, right where I made that giant crack earlier. Swing! /CLANG! / He tries to raise his sword to guard, but it's too late, I make contact right on the crack of his armor. It doesn't crack, but it didn't crack the first time I whacked him anyways.

"!" Jump! /Swish! / I dodge a sideways sword strike aiming to cut me in half by jumping away sideways. The air made a cutting sound as I did. Anna warned me that his sword was able to make deep cuts into the ground when he first brought it out. I decided to stay away from his swing arc just in case." Just you wait, that armor is going to be destroyed soon enough." I decide to see if I can throw him off his game again with a threat. /SHING! / Whether it worked or not, I couldn't say.

But he did just try to attack me with a flying slash attack, so that's something, I guess? Either way, I dodged it, landed on the ground and I proceed to do the only thing I know how to do, I rush forward. /SHING! SHING! SHING! SHING! / More slashes come my way, but dodging isn't difficult compared to the hell my Father put me through during our training sessions. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there."

You think running at me will be enough!? Die!" He yells again, but I continue on. If he thinks it's so useless, he should do something about it then. /SHING! WOOSH! /"!"

"!" Swing! Another sword slash that sent a wind blade after me. Dodging it again wasn't very hard, but it was the blast of wind that came from behind me that seemed to surprise both of us, Lady Diana certainly picks her moments for when she attacks. Her wind blast gave me just enough time to swing my halberd with great strength. /CLANG! CRACK! / Another strike landed on the chest plate of his armor and another metal cracking sound was made. I would smile if not for the fact that the armor still didn't break.

The crack that's formed has made the giant crack down the center of his chest plate into a Y shape now instead of just a line." Y-You! WRETCH!" Raise! /CLANG! / His anger gave away where he would try to attack me, I blocked it fairly easily. Let's see if I can make him lose even more of his focus." Wretch? I'll have you know, I'm quite happy. Only a few more swings and I'll be tearing your lungs out of your chest. I wonder if My Husband will want to keep your heart? Maybe your head?""

You think you'll be able to kill me!?" It worked! /CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! / He's not aiming his attacks, he's just attacking like a rampaging child. The heavy swings are easily blocked by me. The issue with the swings is that I can't risk being hit by them and with my being so close to him, I have to block with my halberd. But I have a strategy for that. /WOOSH! / A fire ball hits the idiot in his back and that creates another opening for me. However, you'd be a fool to fall for the same trick 3 times. /CLANG!

/" You think I'll fall for something like that!?" He says, falling for a different trick than just slamming my halberd into his armor. /WOOSH! / Kick! /Thump! / I use Wind Magic on my right leg to increase the power of my kick and send it straight into his leg. The loud clash of our legs made a loud thumping sound like someone was hit with a club or a bat." WAA!" I didn't throw my kick to hurt him however, I used my kick to unbalance him, which worked very well.

Now, while his stance was broken and he was attempting to catch his balance, I quickly used a Demon Martial Arts Technique that Ruby taught me. Punch! /WHACK! /" GUUU!" It had a name like Devil's Thrust, but in reality, it's just a punch to the opponent's throat. Not an amazing finishing move, but its good enough to make him fall down and focus more on holding his throat than grabbing at the ground to escape my halberd's swing. Swing! /CLANG! / Another successful hit to his armor is great to have.

Admittedly, I'm somewhat let down that the armor didn't fully break, but another attack should do. I raise my halberd to quickly attack again. Swing! /Shing! / I grit my teeth as my halberd smashed into a black vine instead of his armor. The God Of The Blackwood scurried away on his back as I pulled my halberd out of the dense vine that I plunged it into. I couldn't help but smile at the image of a God scurrying away like a mouse or insect in a kitchen." What so funny, girl?"

He seemed a little embarrassed at his display. Like a child, he'd rather try and insult me instead of accepting he did something embarrassing." Nothing, just the idea of a God crawling around on the ground like a cockroach, I find it amusing." /Rumble! /" YoUUU DAaRREEE CAlll ME An INSEct!?"" Yes, I do believe I did, didn't I?" His mana begins to leak out of him, this is great, he's losing control of himself and his mana. I've noticed that the quaking effect when he releases his mana has decreased significantly.

I've already thought this, but it must be true, he's running on fumes, I just need to land the finishing blow once I break his armor. /THOOM! / Raise! /CLANG! /" Adding onto your somewhat insect-like movements, you attack like a coward as well, don't you?"" What!?" Again, he attempted to attack me from behind with that fast movement of his, but I blocked it all the same.

But I must say, after seeing this again and again, I've become extremely annoyed with the way he fights and the demeanor he's had all through the night.

"The only time that you teleported in front of someone was when you attempted to scare the children, right? Why is that? Are you so scared that a naked blade will be waiting for you if you teleport in front of someone? I'd be scared too, since it's been made quite clear to us all that you're not a Warrior. You're just someone on a high horse and we're going to tear you off of it soon enough." The twisted expression on his face was amazing to see after all of the hell he's brought to us tonight.

But maybe I went a bit too far in my anger than I should've? His body began to glow a stronger black and green color and I felt my halberd begin to creak and cry out from the spot that was in contact with that nasty looking sword. /CREAK! / My halberd cried and the shaft bent at the point that the sword was digging into. I jumped back as quick as I could." Where do you think you're going, You miserable reprobate!?" He caught up to me! How has he sped up? He was so slow a mom-"!" Raise! PRESSURE! /CLANG! POP! SMASH!

SWOOSH! / I fell on the ground and rolled from the momentum. I was able to block the sword strike he sent my way, but my halberd... It's been broken in half. That's a real shame. I still have more, but that one was the best one I had. /THOOM! /" What was that about appearing behind everyone!?" He appeared in front of me with his sword raised and he began to swing it down. Push! Fly! /SMASH! SHING! BOOM!

/ I was able to push myself out of the way of the angry strike he tried to throw at me, the sword cut deep into the ground and formed a crater, then the sound of that flying slash from earlier reared its ugly head and it caused the crater to collapse in on itself. He turned his head to look at me and he began to speak again." What was that about cowardice? This entire time, the only reason you lowly scum have lived is from you and your friends stopping me from landing the killing blow! Enough is enough!" /RUMBLE!

/ Large black trees covered the both of us as if they were always there to begin with." First, I'll kill you! Then that Paladin! I'll torture him first! Then I'll kill him after I make him renounce his faith to those traitors! You're all dead! I don't care if I need to wait for a new fool to take over!" His raving gave me a moment to get back to my feet, I took it and also took one of my halberds from my Mana Storage. This fight may have gotten harder on me, but I can still win.

I will crack through that armor and land the finishing blow if it's the last thing I do.
