Chapter 188 (Fight)

Hahaha 😂😂 why are you guys so negative, saying things like dropping. Just be positive!! This won't drop. I just have a line up of novels to read, so my time is a bit...

_____________________________________________________________

Tiamat step through air as if it was land, propelling herself further, increasing her speed.

In an instant Scáthach met up with Tiamat, thrusting her spear forward. (Oi, it's not what you're thinking about).

Hundreds of attacks rained upon Tiamat, Scáthach was really fast to attack. Every thrust were filled with explosive power.

However... with a calm smile, Tiamat parried all of her attacks as if it was nothing, Each of Scáthach's thrust were deflected by Tiamat's long sword.

Tiamat was like a piece of art, with her sword in hand. It's as if she was dancing on the battle, her sword skill were so elegant and refined as she moved.

"[Sword Dance]?." Scáthach's eyes shined as she grinned.

Suddenly, Scáthach's movements changed, just like Tiamat. She was as if a war maiden on the battle field.

Hundred of moves collided, It was absurd, each collision cause the very air itself to crack.

[Wind Slash], Tiamat used her skill, her long sword shined with grey as it created a terrifying force of air, that can even cause that space to distort.

Slashing her sword multiple times, sending several tens of wind slashes.

Scáthach snorted, it was child's play for her. Magical based attack were nothing in front of her. Moving her spear at the sides, as she gathered strength.

Fwoosh*

With one swipe, the several tens wind slashes got destroyed. Kicking on the empty air, Scáthach's spear covered with a red ominous aura, she pierced forward.

Tiamat smiled looking at the oncoming attack, she put a weird kind of stance. Holding her long sword with both of her hands, straightening it.

"[Void Cut]." Tiamat dashed with her long sword covered with silvery like aura.

Boom*

Two sides collided.

"What the..." Tiamat's attack had more power in it, causing Scáthach to get knock back, ruining her posture, with this, Tiamat had an opportunity to hit her.

Not wasting this opportunity, Tiamat kicked the empty air, as she quickly lunched towards to attack.

"[Condensed Air]." Her sword was covered with wind element.

Scáthach who was showing her weakness, she of course sensed that Tiamat was already onto her. Scàthach's face was full of panic, kicking the air on her front, so she could take distance.

With Tiamat's of course she couldn't let her escape this situation.

The moment Tiamat got closer, she quickly took the opportunity and slash her sword that was filled with terrifying power.

With her experience in battle, Tiamat sensed that something was wrong. Since she knew that it couldn't be this easy, as she deemed Scàthach as someone who is experienced in battle. However, even though she sensed it, she was confident that she can stop whatever it is.

And... just like she thought, Scàthach grinned. Scàthach's spear suddenly burst with ominous aura, and the pressure was different than anything before. It was more destructive.

"God Slayer Art: Heaven's Fall."

"Oh?... You think that would work?." Tiamat smiled as she continued her attack but her sword suddenly shined with blue.

The thorns that was designed on the long swords body suddenly got out of it's body, stretching towards Scàthach, the air around changed to an Icy hell.

Ice! That was the embodiment of this sword.

"Ice Cage."

Several tens of thorns collided with the aura of Scàthach's spear, sparks appeared, as the aura of Scàthach's spear were not like air at all, it solidified. The spear and the long sword also collided.

As if it was a snake, the thorns slithered around to strangle the aura and the spear itself. Encaging it with frozen water, or ice.

But, on Scàthach's side she didn't feel any pressure at all. As the two sides were equal in strength, every time the ice thorns tried to slither around, it got destroyed but the devastating power of the art.

Regeneration and Destructions. It repeated in a cycle. Both of them were on a dead lock with no sides having an advantage at all.

The current situation, this was what Scàthach was aiming for. As before every time they exchange moves, she can't restrict Tiamat's movement at all.

If the situation ever finds itself to be on a dead lock just like the present situation, Tiamat will quickly back off, and another exchange of attacks will happen.

Although, there was no one winning on both of them. Scàthach can't keep that status quo at all. Her strength and skills were limited, as she was just an Immortal, she can't continue the activation of her abilities.

Tiamat on the other hand, she has a vast amount of advantage in terms of magical power and strength, so a prolonged battle was ideal for her.

That's why knowing Scàthach situation, she was just waiting for the right moment to strike, when the time that Scàthach was exhausted. Although, it's a bit unfair but this was how one use her own advantage.

Even Scàthach herself couldn't complain, Tiamat was just fighting like any ordinary powerhouses do.

Scàthach agreed with her method. One should use her own advantage on a lift and death battle, any attack or abilities will do, even if you choose the most disgusting and evil ways. As long as you win in the end, that's all that matters.

That's why, Scàthach also used her own advantage, and that was... the fact that it was not a 1 on 1 battle and is instead a 2 on 1 battle.

As her aim of restricting Tiamat succeeded. Because if Tiamat ever dodge or teleport several miles away, it wouldn't do anything at all. The concept of the power behind Scàthach's spear and god art can't be explained on any ordinary means.

If ever Tiamat teleported using the space law, she will still get hit as even space itself distorted being exposed by this destructive power.

The only way for Tiamat to stop this was to face it head on.

He appeared above Tiamat, with the dark-violet scythe on his hand that is even taller than him.

Tiamat all this time was keeping an eye on him, but she didn't really attack him or anything, as even though he showed his overwhelming killing intent in front of her, it doesn't change the fact that his power all amount to nothing. Of course, Tiamat didnt underestimate him, as she keep remaining vigilant, watching his moves.

"Hmm... I should just slash this right? I don't really know how to use a scythe." As he wondered, he slashed downwards.

Tiamat's eyes constricted when she looks at the oncoming attack, as it gets closer and closer, there was a trace of panic in her eyes.

Death!

That was she felt when the scythe was getting closer. All this time, she found it weird that he switched his weapon. But... she couldn't feel anything or power at all when she looked at his spear before.

Although she found it weird that she couldn't sense anything from it. As even the most weakest of weapons, she could sense or know it by it's aura or power.

She decided to ignore this... but she still kept in on her mind. But... facing it now she didn't expect that the power behind it was so terrifying.

She couldn't get hit! That word keep screaming on her mind. Her senses, her instincts, her soul, screamed of the oncoming danger that she was facing.

It wasn't just death, she even felt that her soul will disappeared together with her existence. She couldn't hold back anymore, or else she will really vanish in existence.

Use anything, everything, as long as you can't get hit by this reaper of a scythe.

"[Divine Possession], [Primordial Dragon's Blood], [Absolute Speed], [Absolute Defense], [Divinity of Fire], [Divinity of Water], [Divinity of Wind], [Divinity of Lightning], [Divinity of Earth], [Five-Elemental Domain], [Ice Castle], [Isolated Space], [Time Manipulation]..."

Almost all of what was on her arsenal was used.

A huge Ice castle got summoned up above the sky, her strength rose to a terrifying level. She quickly overpowered Scàthach, kicking her, sending Scàthach to the ground.

Turning her body with speed that was so fast that it couldn't even be described anymore, dodging the scythe that almost reaped her life away. Grabbing his hand that was holding the scythe, with all her strength she throw him to tbe ground.

"Phew* This queen saw her death." Tiamat sighed in relief.
