Executioner''s de!
Lunging out from the mirror, Alice recalled every moment she saw Allura use her famous technique. The power of severance behind her strike.
While she didn''t have the blessing, she could replicate the attack with her Void Flux – Cleave. The only requirement is for the speed and power behind it to match the strike.
But now that she''s drank Allura''s blood, it was possible!
*BANG!!!
Landing in front of Velouria and forcing Enris to jumped back as she thought it was Allura, Alice snapped her finger and activated her first Resonance.
As the crown manifested above her head, violet mes danced across her body and de.
''You have eight Sigils to use. But the first four are still your own. Meaning you have ess to four of Allura''s Sigils, Berserk Force, Instant shes, her seventh Sigil that''s linked to her Seven Days of Execution and the eighth that she just got now, the power of Destruction.
I don''t know what she chose but we can try everything we saw Shura do.'' Alyss reminded as they''ve essentially made themselves a target for the three Gods.
''Keep all of them for now. The other Sigils we have ess to might not be a good match. Plus, I''ve seen Allura fight plenty of times. In terms of understanding, these are the best ones for me.'' Alyss replied as she took a deep breath and scanned her gaze towards the three Gods.
Her attack might''ve taken Enris by surprise but it still failed to hit and now, the three of them were scanning her in return, seeing if she was truly a threat. But the fact she now radiated the power of an Abyss Lord confused them. Thest time they saw her, she only had four Sigils!
Not only that, but she could also use Allura''s technique.
"What are you doing here?!" Velouria widened her eyes as this was too dangerous for Alice.
However, Alice didn''t have the luxury to respond right now as Lumiria sent spectral chains towards her.
Even without knowing its uses, Alice knew that getting hit by the chain was bad news and activated her third Sigil.
A swirl of blood and metal manifested around her beforebusting into a storm of violet mes.
Upon contact with the mes, the chains started to get burned!
Seeing this, Lumiria widened her eyes in confusion while Enris charged towards Alice.
In her hands, the Cleaver of Endless ughter hummed with excitement, ready to im its next victim.
But Alice felt as though the de was extremely weird. Fused with the metal was the souls and cries of countless lives, souls lost in battle. The blood they bled, the cries they screamed. Everything was linked into a single de.
Instinctively, she understood that shing her Void Fang with this cleave would instantly result in its destruction!
Gritting her teeth, Alice decided to go with a different method.
Snapping her finger, countless blood mirrors appeared around the area as Alice created one beneath Enris''s feet, hoping to knock her off guard as she jumped back and created a bow with Void Fang.
Void Flux!
Creating an arrow using Void Flux, she aimed for Enris before firing! The arrow of concentrated energy and mes roared towards Enris who simply shed towards it with her Cleaver. Upon contact, the arrow was drowned out by the malevolent energy and souls of the de.
Even though it was a single sh, the act of that sh was multiplied countless times as though each soul was doing the same attack!
Unable to stop Enris''s advancement, Alice wanted to teleport to safety when Lumiria stepped in.
Framing Alice between her hands, she narrowed her eyes.
Lumiria had just anchored Alice''s ''soul'' to this realm! Meaning she couldn''t teleport unless she was willing to leave her physical body behind!
''Twinnie swap with me!''
Without hesitation, Alice agreed as golden chainstched around her limbs.
Opening her eyes and revealing a wide grin, Alyss stood her ground and flooded the area around her with violet mes.
From her shadow, ck hands lunged towards Enris who shed towards it with her Cleaver.
*BANG!!!
"!!!"
Widening her eyes, Enris realised she couldn''t sh through these hands and frowned.
Rusted spears rained down from the sky as Alyss took a step back and transformed Void Fang into a spear.
Adjusting her posture, she swapped with Alice.
Absolute Zone!
Knocking aside every spear that entered her optimal range, Alice wanted to counter when Sris appeared above her.
Unable to counter, Alice moved in a way that would minimalize the damage she would take.
But that proved to be unnecessary as Velouria stepped in!
Blocking Sris''s spear jab, Velouria pushed Sris back as the five of them were stuck at a standstill once more.
After using his Night Piercer Spear, Sris had exhausted roughly 80% of his power while Enris and Lumiria could still fight.
Velouria was running on fumes while Alice was using eight Sigils to fight against God level beings. Had it not been for Ca''s boost in kic vision and Allura''s Sigils that heavily boosted physical prowess, she wouldn''t have been able to keep up with Enris''s movements.
"Since you''re here, I won''t ask you about why. Rather I can only hope you came here with a n that won''t end up with you being dead." Velouria forced a bitter smile as this was thest thing she wanted.
Even if she was to die, it was fine since this was a memory for her. But Alice? She was the sessor. She couldn''t allow her to die in this ce.
"Ehhh that''s debatable. But I can''t sit by and do nothing." Alice chuckled as she noticed something during that short exchange.
The ck hands that Alyss conjured, they were able to hold back Enris''s de even if it was briefly.
"Is it okay if I deal with Enris alone? As long as Lumiria and Sris aren''t there to stop me I should be able to handle it." Alice asked, surprising Velouria but she nodded her head.
"Alright, I''ll keep them off you."
Naturally, Enris heard this as a vein bulged on her forehead.
"The little girl who couldn''t even react to me using a bit of my power has matured huh? Thinking you can hold back a God. I don''t know where you got this sudden boost in power but you''re in way over your head!"
*BANG!!!
Bursting forth with explosive speed, Enris appeared in front of Alice in an instant. The giant Cleaver she held above her was swung as though it had now weight!
Stepping to the side, Alice twisted her body andunched a kick to Enris''s head who blocked with her arm.
Following up on this kick, Alice jumped up and mmed down with her heel.
''We need to force her into close quartersbat so she can''t use that cleaver of her''s.''
After the heel, Alice dropped to the ground and pushed against it with her hands,unching a kick to Enris''s chest.
With the sudden onught of kicks, Enris furrowed her brows as she tried to grab Alice by the ankles but Alice was ready.
Just as she was about to punch as a counter, she felt a tingle down her spine and she immediately shifted her body to the side.
From behind her, a spear erupted from the ground, aiming to pierce her back but she managed to narrowly dodge it!
mes gathered around Alice''s fist as she narrowed her eyes at Enris who stabbed the Cleaver into the ground.
Creating a set of spiked gauntlets, she punched toward Alice who ducked under the swing.
A quick one-two jab into the stomach before another dodge into a jab to the face.
Her attacks weren''t doing much damage to Enris but rather than damage, Alice wanted Enris to lose her cool.
Tilting her head to the side to dodge a forward jab, Alice followed up with a uppercut before ducking under an arm sweep. A kick to the back of the knee into jab to the sternum.
Partial Bloodline Release!
With things going in her favour, Alice activated her bloodline release to further boost her physical power.
*BANG!!!
Each of her jabs and punches sounded like cannon shots as Enris stumbled back only to have metal manifest behind her, disrupting her footwork!
Veins bulged on her neck as her anger reached its peak.
Just as she opened her mouth to shout, Alice jumped into Enris''s range and mmed her fist against Enris''s chin, forcing her mouth shut.
Jab to the throat into a three hitbo on the body.
Each movement of Enris''s muscles, her gaze and desperation became simple for Alice to read. Right now, she could see every movement that Enris wanted to do and counter ordingly.
"Enough!!!" mming her fists down, the blessing of Famine burst around her, draining the energy from everything it touched.
Jumping back just in time, Alice created a barrier of violet mes to counter this attack but her mes were overwhelmed.
Tendrils of energy burst out from Enris''s body as her form began to mutate and distort. Grabbing the handle of her Cleaver with this tendril, she swung the de towards Alice.
*CLANG!!!
Blocking the strike using the ck hands, Alyss took over and dodged the multitude of strikes. What she couldn''t dodge she would block.
mming her hand down, Enris dragged Alyss into her Divine Realm!
Shielding her eyes, Alyss found herself in a field of broken weapons, corpses, burning gs and ming skies.
Furrowing her brows, she could feel this realm slowly draining her energy. She needed to get out fast but Enris wasn''t going to get her escape.
Appearing above her, Enris shed down with the Cleaver as Alyss rolled to the side and tried to counter.
However, a de shot out from the ground in an attempt to pierce Alyss in the back, forcing her to cancel her attack.
"Tsk."
Clicking her tongue, she jumped back and took a deep breath.
While Alice could replicate skills, Alyss had a different idea.
Her eyes scanned the Cleaver in Enris''s hands. The way the souls melded with the metal.
She could see the strands of energy connecting them together, how power flowed from one to the other.
Allowing Void Fang to absorb her blood, the edge began to change as ck hands crawled across the face of the de.
[Replication – Void Fang of Endless ughter]
