Chapter 145 - In The Shadows Of Oukiwa (Part 3) (2/2)
The mysterious woman didn't show any expression or grimace, which irritated Alexis even more, who threw the woman into the water. Before even touching the water, the enemy disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Somehow, she managed to be much faster than the S-Class and didn't seem to be making any effort to do so because her movements were minimal.
To make matters worse, the half-dragon's more firepower abilities were impossible due to the terrain, because a simple <Torden Scintillans> could demolish the entire neighborhood, not to mention the fact that Matthew was still there.
This situation was irritating the S-Class even more, who began to charge non-stop in the woman's direction, who gradually began to feel pressured. She couldn't dodge all of the half-dragon's blows, and with each hit, she seemed to feel less pain.
”I can do this for a whole week if I have to! Just say something!”
The chamber walls in less than five minutes were about to collapse. Even from that far away place, it was still possible to hear the crowd's euphoria in the Municipal Arena.
However, as soon as the half-dragon grabbed the collar of the black jacket the woman was wearing, a palm struck her right rib, and then another palm struck her left shoulder, pushing her away. Both blows were powerful, and from the way the woman took severe impacts, Alexis already knew that this was a formidable opponent.
As soon as she had enough space and time, the black woman slammed both her wrists twice and then spun her hands counterclockwise. The water she was treading on immediately moved away from her feet and off the ground.
Within moments, all the water in the sewer gathered around the woman, who trapped herself in a bubble.
'Tsk... among the elemental gene abilities, <Vann> is the most annoying.' Alexis Dmitry mentally admitted.
The mysterious woman formed three water horns with her powerful rare-level ability and hurled them at the half-dragon, who, despite hating to get wet, charged towards the horns. The half-dragon's trunks shattered when the water hit them with a colossal rotational force, creating a parry effect that scattered the water particles.
Soon, Alexis came face to face with the woman again; only now did she have time to use the <Fist of Life>.
”Psst!” The enemy whispered next to the S-Class' ear, startling her, and before Alexis had time to strike back, the woman used a device in her hand to splash a gas in Nathalia's face.
The moment Alexis smelled the gas, she backed away with a backward leap. ”Cof! Cof! What the fuck is that!? Cocof!”
The little blue gas she inhaled quickly spread through her respiratory system, and by the time the S-Class realized it, her vision was blurred, her mind clouded, and all the noise of the crowd in the stadium was closer, more distorted than it should have been.
In those seconds of agony, she saw her past as a maid in the Dmitry household and blurred memories of her life in the Cardinal Kingdom. Her instructor, the school, the university, Ayumi, Sarah, Luke...
Just before her mind blanked out, the half-dragon heard the mysterious woman declare: ”You are strong.... very strong.”
