Chapter 1025: Overwhelming Power (1/2)

”I shouldn't have allowed you to escape?” Raka grumbled as she smacked her hand on her body, enacting a flurry of hits, breaking off all the ice while increasing her body's temperature using the action.

”Allowed me to escape? Quite the interesting choice of words you have there.” Krune laughed, his expression still a smile as he asked, ”By the way, I was wondering why you tried to torture me instead of asking me about the details normally?”

”Shouldn't Gehen have informed you of my arrival?”

”Who's Gehen?” Raka was confused all of a sudden. However, she didn't allow herself to be distracted, thinking that everything he was doing was Krune's scheme to catch her off guard. Grabbing hold of her Demon Arms, an axe with a curved head, she watched it absorb her blood, injecting her with an energy that raised her abilities to a higher level.

She gently stomped on the floor, flashing before Krune to hack him. In response, Krune raised his hand, condensing a column of ice that blocked the attack. Even though it shattered in response, he continued to generate more ice, eventually stopping the axe before it reached his hand.

In exchange, his ice coursed through the axe, spreading over Raka's hand, causing her to retract the weapon in response. She then flailed it around a couple of times, hitting the walls when she noticed that the ice was stronger than she had assumed.

Left with no other choice, she smashed it on her knees, breaking it off eventually. Though, when she did that, Krune watched her actions with a smile. While doing so, Raka was able to perceive a formless killing intent envelop her, increasing in intensity as time passed. The killing intent was as if she was being boiled in a bowl of oil.

'This guy is dangerous!' She was assured of this fact now, seeping in even more of her blood into her Demon Arms, causing her body to emanate a tinge of blood mist. No longer able to hold back to prevent collateral damage, she unleashed her full strength, slamming a kick into Krune's chest instantly.

A layer of ice appeared in her way as she pummelled through it with her kick, eventually reaching Krune, sending him flying. However, she saw his hand flicker once again before she flinched in pain, watching the palm-sized Cloud Whale piercing the side of her neck.

Just like before, it burst before she could pull it out, freezing her to a certain extent. On top of that, Krune no longer seemed willing to give her time to get rid of the ice anymore as the Cloud Whale appeared one after another, piercing numerous places on her body.

And every single time, it exploded after injecting some Frozen Blood into her body. Around ten of such attacks later, even if she wished to move, her body had considerably slowed down. Even if she tried to move and increase her body temperature, a thin layer of ice began to form on her.

No matter how many times she broke it, ice continued to form on her body. It was being generated from within her. As if to mock her efforts, the Cloud Whale continued to pierce her body in numerous locations, eventually causing her to stumble to the ground, no longer able to move.

Her body was numb now. She was unable to feel anything, feeling her head spin as her blood wasn't circulating enough. As her body turned still, an air needle arrived all of a sudden, piercing her left arm first.

As the air needle slowly moved up and down, her left arm was fully severed.
