The Northern Sea (4)
In a world where time seems to move slowly, two enchanting figures are fighting fiercely while seemingly unaffected by the flow of time.
As the fight continue more blood started to drip down from my body as I fought.
-Drip
-Drip
Looking at my condition the white haired woman Infront of me smile and spoke.
"Even if you are stronger then before you are still weaker then me" (Elizabeth)
"..." (Laila)
Ignoring her, I started to gather mana into my rapier. Unsatisfied by my lack of respond, Elizabeth dash towards me and swung her blood scythe.
-Swoosh!
With the sound of air being cut, the scythe quickly move towards me at a terrifying speed.
Without panicking, I focus more mana into [God's Eyes]. My eyes started to glow brighter as the already slow world slowdown more significantly.
Quickly dodging the attack, another blood scythe appeared behind my back. Realizing that I'm unable to dodge, I quickly materialized ice on my back and tried to offset the attack.
-Ting!
A metallic sound resounded. The collision between the two spell caused a part of the frozen sea to be cut and destroyed.
Because of the unexpected force, my balance slightly crumble as I lost my footing on top of the frozen sea.
Not missing the opening, Elizabeth quickly gathered her mana and rushed towards me.
[Blood Technique: Scarlet Judgement]
Arriving Infront of me, she swung her scythe with unimaginable force. The scythe seems to cut space it self as it move quickly towards me.
'I don't think I could block this unscathed' (Laila)
Giving up her safety, she countered the attack.
[Sword technique: Penetration Form
Using the aura of void, she launched an equally powerful attack. Contras to her usual destructive attack, the attack was calm and soundless like a lake without any ripple.
Boom-!
When the two attack collided, a huge shock wave resounded throughout the slowed world.
"..ugh" (Laila)
Coughing some blood, she groan in pain while panting heavily. assessing her body, she concluded that her right arm is now unusable
'It's seems that my right hand broke' (Laila)
Unlike her, Elizabeth seems to be more or less fine as she receive less damage. Completely disregarding the damage done to her, she had a surprised look on her face.
"You used 'his' technique" (Elizabeth)
Smiling at her expression, I spoke
"I learned it form him" (Laila)
"That's impossible, you are the holder of [Absolute Zero] your body is incapable of holding the power of Void like him" (Elizabeth)
"Is that so? I guess I'm the living prove that you are wrong" (Laila)
"If I kill you, then there is no proof!" (Elizabeth)
Suddenly, Elizabeth appeared Infront of me ready to attack.
Calmly analyzing her attack trajectories, I focused my mana on my eyes slowing the world even further.
In the slowed state, I dodge every of her attack and block some of them using my rapier that is now held by my left arm.
'I can't find and opening' (Laila)
failing to find any opening, I retreated back. Not wanting to give me time, she shot some blood in the shape of javelin in my path.
-Swoosh
With the sound of the air being torned, the javelins move towards me with insane speed. Failing to dodge properly, one of the javelins manage to properly hit me. Even after coating my self with aura and mana I still got thrown to the air, the damage dealt is very significant.
While still in the air upside down, Elizabeth finished charging her attack
[Blood Technique: Red Flash]
A powerful dark crimson beam was shot.
Seeing her attack, I instinctively dodge to the side forming ice in the air as a foothold. Expecting my reaction, another powerful beam shot out from the ground.
"!!!" (Laila)
Surprised by the sudden attack, I sacrificed my left arm to block the attack.
-Boom!!
Further knocking me in to the air, I felt immense pain spread through my body. bitting my lips, I endure the pain and stabilized my self in the air.
Seemingly not satisfied, Elizabeth gather an enormous amount of mana forming a giant crimson red energy melting the sea around her in the process.
'Shit!!' (Laila)
Activating my soul weapon's first function which is temporarily buff by [Realization], my silver hair turned light blue and glowed brightly.
Soul Weapon
Amplify Ice attribute 6 times by default
>Function one: Using this function, the user will merge with the power of ice Increasing the strength of mana related attack by 60 times and mana cost by 5 times for 120 seconds.
Cooldown: 500 seconds
Using every energy in my body, I gambled everything to my next attack.
On the ground the giant crimson energy in Elizabeth's hand suddenly turned black evaporating the sea kilometers around her. Pointing her finger to my direction she coldly spoke
[Ultimate Blood Technique:
In the air an astronomical cold energy began to gather in my hand forming a giant bright blue energy. Focusing, I controlled the giant energy ball and spoke
[Ultimate Magic: Absolute Zero]
Two attacks met
Boooooooooooooom!!!
The world dyed in white, the temperature around area instantly drop.
Falling from the sky, I could feel my consciousness slowly slipped away as every sense in my body became dulled. Forcibly moving my body, I stabilized my self and landed on top of a pillar made of ice.
Landing on the ice pillar I looked at Elizabeth who is still standing seemingly unfazed. But judging form her energy level, I could tell that she is not in a good state.
'She had around 60% HP left' (Laila)
-Tap
-Tap
-Tap
Walking towards me slowly, she spoke
"To think you could damaged me this much, I'm genuinely Impressed" (Elizabeth)
"Ha... Ha.... Ha...." (Laila)
Catching my breath, I looked at her figure walking leisurely.
"Sadly our fight can't continue for long, but don't worry I will kill you very slowly and make you suffer" (Elizabeth)
"..." (Laila)
Smiling at my silence, she dash towards me and swung her scythe. Barely blocking her attack with my broken arm I stagger barely keeping my self from falling.
Smiling at my persistence, she focus her mana on her fist thrusted her fist forward hitting my stomach.
-Boom!
With a loud sound, my body got flung backward hitting a pillar of ice.
"Cough! Cough! Ugh...." (Laila)
Coughing some blood, I groaned in pain. Using my rapier to help me stand up, I smiled brightly.
Seeing my smile, Elizabeth frowned
"Did you go crazy in despair" (Elizabeth)
"I didn't, why would I despair when I had fun?" (Laila)
"Ho? To think you could say that even in the verge of dying, I will give you mercy and kill you quickly" (Elizabeth)
Before she could raise he scythe, a subtle voice echoed through the world. Hearing this I closed my eyes and said
"You're late Idiot...." (Laila)
[Environmental Domain: Absolute Void]
The world suddenly change, turning into pitch black
Feeling a warm touch on my body, the wound I receive quickly healed. After healing my body, his gentle voice entered my ears.
"Sorry for making you wait" (Rayford)
With his word my consciousness slipped as I began to relax.
"Sleep tight" (Rayford)
That was the final word I hear before falling unconscious.
