Chapter 399: Disgrace and Immolation
The unGodly friction of her dark blade and Chu Cheng’s fiery lotus caused an ear-splitting screech It was eventually the e into oblivion
Chu Cheng thrust a palan to shed petals These petals were black as the world around theh the air toward the cloaked lady
She brandished the rapier in her grip, and executed a series of rapid swiped all around Crescent-shaped waves of energy spread out like ripples, leaving behind theh ed and weaved a them like a shadow – no, like a host of shadows, too quick to fix your eyes on In truth there were, for several shadowy clones had clawed free froh the dark
Metatron watched fro platform He turned his eyes to Lucifer beside him In a voice flat with indifference he said “Well, it appears the deep pockets of our affluent colleagues have purchase another unholy masterpiece”
“That is Dracula’s daughter,” was the tepid response from the Dark Citadel’s second in command There was no attempt to hide the cloaked lady’s identity, there didn’t appear to be a need to The two citadels butted heads often, and if they didn’t learn about her now then it would be soon She was strong enough now to get their attention
There was a sniff froel “It’s unfortunate! She’s come across one opponent that may be more than a match Unless I’m mistaken, that’s the Northern successor to the Hades bloodline”
While he spoke to Lucifer, his eyes sloent to the Gourmet in the row ahead Especially after the Gouron, no one was unaware of his history
Lucifer didn’t react to the taunt He gave his Pontifical counterpart an adrin then returned his attention to the field
Metatron smirked back, then followed his eyes to the cloaked woman
The there at the cligering speed and power, but the Hades scion had replied with power to match Now as the petals fell and she weaved, another surprise ensued Theflames as they were destroyed That was part of what erous – his poere sinister
This here the gap between thean to show The cloaked woman was blessed with two Disciplines, and even still couldn’t e, she was starting to look sluggish
Chu Cheng curled his body in like he was preparing to jump Then, with claw-like hands, he pulled his arround rumbled as a column of hellfire erupted from the earth, directly beneath the woman’s feet
She ed to leap out of the way half a moment before the fires consumed her But while the attack didn’t hit her, it did suck in the orbiting lotus flowers surrounding thereith every addition, until another flower, larger and e More than three ti at toward the cloaked woman
Lit by the hellish fires, the cloaked woman let loose a beastial roar Her whole body shook, and the cloak flapped as a pair of giant leathery wings sprang frouine cloud of red surrounded her, and set her shadow blade ablaze with crimson fire
She took a step forward, then launched herself directly toward the enor watched with a dark grin, and when she began her approach hevortex of fire and brimstone crackled to life before him
Just as the croondering why he’d waste tie strike, the cloaked woht in front of Chu Cheng’s vortex and that’s when it turned a boundless grey
This wasn’t just power It was forethought
The cloaked wo to cut through lue Her interspacial powers seemed useless The vacuu a lithe and beautiful young woman
She was as beautiful as she was dangerous Tall, with dark tights covering and outlining her athletic figure Her face was pale, and cold, but beautiful Like gazing on an iceberg Dark red hair framed her black eyes
Chu Cheng reacted immediately As soon as her face was revealed, his vortex weakened As it did the wo her shadow rapier back in to herself Ablade, which she used to try and destroy the vortex holding her
Chu Cheng released a gentle sigh, and ain A second vortex appeared, adjacent to the first and rotating in the opposite direction The two crashed into each other, and the resulting explosion sent waves of feral power tearing out in all directions The blade-woh the air, and the strike caused her to return to her human form
When she hit the floor vestiges of the grey energy congealed in to shackles They pinned her to the ground, stretching her catsuit even tighter
Chu Cheng sed and offered a chuckle “Coht?”
