Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter III Chapter 93

Cecilion grinned broadly, his shoulders trembling withstanding the sound of his laughter. He glanced at Alice, saw the sword that pierced her and then he looked back at Alice and said "Is this all you have?" With a condescending look and a mocking sounding tone.

Alice knew what Cecilion meant and what happened. After entering the Divine Refining realm, his soul ability had already increased and he definitely knew that the Cecilion life energy was still so powerful even after being pierced by his sword Qi. Alice simply did not show any expression as well to make Cecilion off guard.

Cecilion raised one of his hands and pointed it at Alice's face. He then released blood magic that specifically belonged to his tribe.

Alice moved quickly, she twisted and stood behind Cecilion then placed the sword blade in her hand right at Cecilion's neck.

"You're nimble too apparently." Cecilion said praising Alice even though her tone did not sound like she was praising.

Cecilion's face did not show any fear as if he really would not die even though Alice sliced his neck veins. That sense of confidence was what Alice wanted to destroy.

[Blood Feast] So briefly Cecilion used magic. Blood fluid clots enveloped him. Alice moved quickly away from him.

Cecilion's blood magic protecting his body then gathered above his head into a large ball which then shot small balls at Alice.

Alice looked at the ball that came to her casually. When the distance was only a split second from his face, the sword blade made of Qi energy condensed so quickly and went back to protect him.

The little balls flying towards him are so dangerous. Alice looked at the smoky ground where the red liquid splashed. It seems that the little balls are corrosive which might be able to melt a steel. But what Alice was using was a sword that was layered with Qi so that the acidic substance did not work on her weapon.

Every time the Cecilion attack came upon her, every time it was also Alice dodged easily. The magic that was supposed to look so fast in the eyes of ordinary humans seemed slow to Alice, even if she wanted to be able to dodge just by shifting her footsteps.

Cecilion constantly created blood magic and attacked Alice blindly as if the Mana energy in her body had no limits.

"As expected of the vampire tribe." Alice's mind as she recalled what Rose had told her. Earlier when he was about to leave, Rose had told him about the vampire tribe both their shortcomings and advantages. Not only were they great at regeneration, their magic and physique were almost above the average middle-class deemon let alone if it was a vampire with a noble title. Their strength was normally equivalent to a level 7 mage.

Cecilion then created a huge red-colored wave so high that it could even swallow a horse carriage. Alice looked up at how high the waves were. He snorted with a small smile on his face. Alice reunited her index and middle fingers and placed them in front of her chest. A huge sword formed from the Qi before him and split the waves apart.

Cecilion was further irritated that all his magic was failed by the female deemon before him. He wondered in his mind about the deemon identity he was fighting against.

"I don't even feel that he has Mana in his body, but the energy he radiates feels strange and a little familiar to me. Who exactly is this woman? I've never heard of any such expert on this continent?"

Cecilion fused his hands together making a magic circle spontaneously surround Alice. Two giant hands stood up straight and squeezed Alice.

"Did it work this time? Cih, this woman is really hard to fight." Mumbled.

Unfortunately for the umpteenth time, Alice managed to break her attack. The two giant hands squeezing Alice split into pieces. When the hand was shattered, Cecilion did not see Alice who was standing next to him.

"It's time to accept your death." Alice said slowly.

"W-what happened? It hurts! These..It hurts!" His mind was astonished as he held the side of his chest that the sword had pierced through. Cecilion was made to lose words as Alice's attack suddenly felt sharp.

Alice turned around softly, her golden-yellow hair that was freely unraveling made herself look graceful.

"You may not realize it, but every slash from my sword will erode the path of Mana in your body."

Hearing that answer, Cecilion was wide-eyed. He only realized that all this time, he had only been played by the woman. Since when? Yep. Cecilion did not even feel that the woman had slashed at him.

"You! Since when do you do it?" Shouted irritated Cecilion while propping up his body that was still lying on the ground with a sword stuck through his chest.

"For the one who is about to die, there is no point in you knowing that." Alice replied so coldly. It was actually in the formation array of Tomb Of Thousand Swords. Alice could make a sword of any size and shape she wanted. When Alice dodged or dodged Cecilion's attack, the shadow sword she made moved to slash Cecilion's body very subtly without being noticed by him. Like throwing a small needle to lock her opponent's nerve point, Alice just did the same thing but in a different style.

[ The Immortal Technique. The Four Wind Sealing Sword ]

Just by swinging his hands sideways and forwards. Four sword blades were created before him and flew towards Cecilion. The immobile Cecilion could only accept reality as the four flying swords pierced him. The arrogance on his face from feeling that the swords would not be so influential on him that had a body with great regeneration ability vanished when the first two swords were stuck in his wrists.

The two swords dragged him to the rock. Then the next two swords came and stuck in his ankles.

"It's time to end this. You have to pay for what you've done. Not only my daughter but my sister. With these five swords, I will make you feel a pain that I have never given to anyone else in all this time." Alice said as she floated slowly closer to Cecilion.

Blood flowed from the corner of Cecilion's mouth. The five swords stuck in his body gave off a strange feeling. He felt like his energy was slowly thinning like evaporated water. The rebellious Cecilion tried to break away. He doesn't care if he loses his hand. But his efforts were in vain.

"First sword active!"

When Alice said that word. Cecilion's left hand began to limp and became helpless as he no longer felt his hand. And for the second, the third to the fourth sword is active. Cecilion began to know what it was called despair. The corner of her eyes began to get wet and tears flowed down her cheeks. He could not feel his hands and feet anymore, nor did he sense any Mana energy on his body. Right now, he was even inferior to the hyuman race he had always despised.

Alice went down, she walked leisurely near Cecilion who was bowed full of regret and sadness.

Alice placed her hand on the handle of the sword stuck in Cecilion's chest and pulled it.

"I didn't kill you considering someone who cared so much about you. It was also my promise to her and because I saw you as the older brother of my friend."

As he planned. He would completely destroy the pride belonging to that Cecilion.

Alice flicked her finger and made the illusion end. Those present in the room were silent in fear. Just now they saw Cecilion being defeated so easily.

Alice walked over to Iris. He rubbed Iris' cheek gently. Alice raised her index finger and placed it on Iris' forehead. He drained his Qi energy and released Cecilion's magic shackles.
