Chapter 116: The end of the battle (1/2)

The sound of explosions made the dimension tremble. Edge and the Goddess were exchanging blows with their swords, every time the two swords made contact with each other an explosion equivalent to an exploding star would happen. The Goddess who was exchanging blows with Edge continued to be surprised.

She was sure that Edge's body despite being stronger than most was still a mortal human's body, and no matter how powerful the human body was it had its limits. So it wasn't possible for him to display so much power with his current human body, yet despite that, he had exceeded his very limit and kept on moving.

Each strike they made should've shattered his body, yet he continued to swing his sword. Not only that but for every strike he made it felt like he was getting faster and stronger. As she was baffled by the absurdity of the human in front of her, she saw his smiling face.

At first, that smile made her feel irritated as if he was looking down on her, yet now that smile was making her feel unnerved. The moment she noticed this feeling she became even more infuriated.

'I'm scared?... I who has existed for eons am scared of a mortal man?' While she was stunned by the revelation, the Goddess heard Edge's voice.

”Don't get distracted while fighting!” She saw Edge's sword nearing her neck, she had no time to dodge so she used her blade to block. The Goddess was able to block in time but was still blown away. Her body was blown away at Mach 5 and she got quite far before stopping.

She gritted her teeth and dashed back towards Edge and did a piercing attack with a speed that was faster than light. Yet even with that attack Edge was still able to respond and deflect the strike.

It was then that Edge could finally feel the pain of his body being crushed by his own power. He felt that his internal injuries were no longer being healed by his mana.

'Tsk, I wanted to have some more fun, but I guess I need to end it now.' Edge who was in the middle of an intense exchange of sword strikes with the Goddess suddenly backed away. Seeing what Edge did the Goddess was dumbfounded.

Throughout their entire fight not once did Edge backed away. Even though his body was clearly breaking the mad man kept on fighting without stepping a single step backward. So seeing him take his distance truly surprised the Goddess. She then noticed that Edge had changed his stance and was now at the same stance he takes when he uses the Moon Edge Style [Cresent Moon]. As the Goddess was still confused as to why Edge suddenly did this, Edge spoke to her.

”Heh, this was a wonderful battle. It was the best battle I had in both of my lifetimes. As expected of someone that calls herself a Goddess.”

”What are you planning?” The Goddess became extremely wary as Edge started to praise her.

”I'll be straight with you. I'm sure you already noticed but my body can no longer keep on going. So these next few moves will be the last. If you survive then victory will be yours.”

Hearing what Edge said just made the frown on the Goddess's face grow even deeper. She then saw Edge about ready to strike so she quickly got in the position to defend.
