Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 49: Real and Fake, part 3
…Assassin Art: Concentrated Engulfing Silence, Vermyna's inner self together with the coming of the super powered blow of the nephalem.
He managed to thinly avoid the blow that shook the space that Fie lay. However, Vermyna was not given a chance to counterattack. Fie had already unleashed another blow. Vermyna tilted his head avoiding the fist layered in gray plasma flames, while his legs swiftly bent avoiding the back of the tent the nephalem lay.
Even though Vermyna had already coated her body with Concentrated Engulfing Silence, blocking Fie's punches and kicks still gave her a lot of pain. But this time, it was not only him who received the pain. Fie too. His gray plasma flame eroded as it clashed with Vermyna's hands or feet. Concentrated Engulfing Effect Silence—although not directly touching the skin of Fie— makes the skin of the nephalem like burning.
But Fie is nephalem – she is half demon half angel. Although angels have no ability to regenerate themselves, demons do. Moreover, [Celestial White Flame] could heal the body of its owner from even the worst of conditions. The wounds he received instantly disappeared as the gray plasma flames again enveloped his hands and feet. And Fie did not care at all about the effect; she continued to attack.
She was completely grim like a lioness, Vermyna's inner self while brushing aside the fist that Fie had laid. The intensity of the nephalem attack does not decrease even after a few minutes have passed.
Vermyna had already tried to use the Infinity aspect of [Limit Breaker], but Fie was able to break through it. At this point, Vermyna understood that such little tricks would never be used again in a fight. Now the fight is based only on their strongest physical strength, speed, and non-physical strength. Fie with her two offensive Supreme Magic, Vermyna with the utilization of her life energy.
In physical strength, Vermyna could not avoid Fie being superior. However, in a non-physical force, Fie could not put up a fight. Even as Fie dominated the fight by continuing to bombard Vermyna with punches and kicks, the nephalem also received more injuries. It was like someone was trying to hit a hot iron, his hand would definitely be injured no matter how hard he hit.
Vermyna screeched as Fie's punch successfully landed on his left cheek. The aggressiveness of the nephalem is completely unchallenged. Even he did not give Vermyna a chance to pause for a moment. No matter which way Vermyna bounced, Fie accompanied her like two magnetic poles that were always on the same magnet. He continued to attack like a child on a rampage. Incell is probably more mature than him.
“Dead and rot!” fie exclaimed along with the two fists combined that hit Vermyna's head.
Vermyna's head seemed to be circling after receiving the blow of Fie's two hands. The pain ran to the bottom of the head. He even got a little nosebleed. Fortunately, Fie did not continue his attack. He let Vermyna crash down to hit one of the many remaining arenas.
Fie sighed softly, eyes looking at Vermyna's fallen figure destroying a mountain. Then he turned his eyes to both hands that were like they had been burned and boiled at the same time. White flames wrapped both of his hands, and the burning and boiling conditions disappeared at the same time. Both of Fie's hands recovered as usual.
“The old granny..what did she eat until she couldn't get hurt?”
If Fie says he's not frustrated, it's a lie. He had done everything he could, but the effect was only limited to making Vermyna grimace. Even his punch on the old grandmother's cheek was unable to break her cheekbones. His blow to the head couldn't crack his skull. Fie had already put his full energy on the two blows, but the result seemed to have no effect.
If this was the case, how would he be able to finish off Vermyna? Is there any way he can destroy his enemy? How could Vermyna's body withstand the blow that she flew—
“…!”
Fie gasped when suddenly her left shoulder slashed and spurted blood. The wound quickly regenerated and the blood that had come out disappeared from burning. However, the pain is burning. He was struck by something he could not feel. Though he was enveloped in gray plasma flames, but the attack was unstoppable.
“I was also surprised when I first received such an attack.”
However, suddenly his right shoulder was hit by a slash like what had previously happened to his left shoulder.
“What you saw was me a few seconds long,” said another Vermyna who appeared exactly two meters to the left of Vermyna who was standing opposite her. “You focused [Anti Magic] on a five-meter radius of you. Before I couldn't take advantage of not having a long-range attack. But now it's different. This fight won't last much longer.”
Fie showed no reaction to Vermyna's words.
However, he did not avoid that what the vampire queen said was true. He combined [Anti Magic] with the gray plasma flame, making his range limited. Of course he could enlarge back the range of [Anti Magic]. However, if it did, the power of [Anti Magic] would weaken. If [Anti Magic] weakened, he would come back unable to hit Vermyna like before.
“It still doesn't change anything,” Fie asserted as he unleashed a wave of gray plasma flames in all directions. One of the Vermyna vanished, but the original Vermyna remained relaxed as if it was only buffeted by the night wind.
“Only you alone can use the energy of life,” continued Fie. “The other one can't. I just need to focus my eyes on you.”
“You sure? When we talk now, do you think you're talking to me in real time? What if you are now in the past, while you in the future are already battered?”
Fie grunting. [Anti Magic] ensures it is protected from the effects of the flow of time and space. So, everything Vermyna said was pure nonsense. Perhaps the second sentence contained the truth, but other than that it was just big talk.
“Serah,” response Fie cuek. “What is clear is that I will kill you even if I have to sacrifice my life. I will finish you off even if I have to fight for days or weeks. I'll wipe you out with all the cells that my body has, Old Grandma.”
“….”
“Oya, are you at a loss for words, Old Grandma? Are you senile because you have lived for more than ten thousand years? Forgive these ‘Small Girl’, Old Grandma. I should have weighed in if you were too old before I spoke at length.”
…When was Vermyna last upset? When was the last vein in the temple stiffened to form a crossroad?
“...You die,” said Vermyna with a slightly vibrating corner of her lips—blood came out of both her fingers and formed two red daggers that she immediately held tightly. “I will make sure you die.”
“Don't say much, Old Grandma!”
Fie shot back forward, and Vermyna did the same. The long battle between the two continues.
