Chapter 526 526-Going All Out.


    The room crackled with anticipation as N and I faced each other, the atmosphere electrified with the promise of a sh that would resonate through her history. She stood before me, a vision of power and determination, her gauntlets gleaming withtent energy. I gripped my bow, the edges razor-sharp and gleaming, an extension of my very being.


    "You ready?" N''s voice reverberated in the air,ced with confidence and the thirst for battle. I nodded, my heart pounding in rhythm with the energy coursing through my veins.


    N''s gauntlets hummed with power, her stance shifting as she prepared to unleash her monstrous ability. I felt a gust of wind as she closed the distance between us in a blur of motion. Her movements were a dance of lethal grace, each step calcted to maximize her strength and control.


    ''So we will be testing each other first?''


    Without a moment''s hesitation, she lunged forward, her gauntlet-covered fists hurtling toward me in a disy of sheer force. I sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the deadly trajectory. Her strikes were a symphony of destruction, each punch and jab a testament to her mastery overbat and her increased Origin level giving her a boost not to mention her battle dress adding God knows what level of enhancements.


    As she continued her relentless assault, I retreated, the wood of my bow feeling alive in my hands. I unleashed a flurry of arrows, each one a precision strike aimed at her openings. N deflected them with ease, her gauntlets moving with a fluidity that belied their weight.


    With a fierce grin, N unleashed a series of rapid punches, each strike generating a shockwave that rippled through the air. I leaped backward, avoiding the cascading waves of force that followed her every movement. The ground trembled beneath us, the room bearing witness to our battle of titans.


    In a heartbeat, N closed the distance once again, her gauntlets colliding with mine as I used my bow to block her attacks. The impact sent shockwaves through my arms, the force threatening to overwhelm me. But I held my ground, my muscles straining against the onught.


    With a deft twist, N disarmed me, her gauntlet-d fist sending my bow spiraling through the air. I rolled, narrowly avoiding a follow-up strike that left a crater in the ground where I had stood. I sprung to my feet, my bow forgotten for the moment as I met N''s unyielding gaze.


    As N advanced, her gauntlets aglow with energy, I focused on the bow in my hand. With a swift, deliberate movement, I snapped it in two, the edges now twin des that gleamed in the sunlight. N''s eyes widened in surprise, a momentary distraction that I seized upon.


    I lunged forward, my makeshift dual des meeting her gauntlets in a sh that echoed through the arena. The sound of metal against metal resonated in the air as ourbat intensified. Every strike I delivered was a testament to my training, my movements a dance of calcted precision.


    N''s gauntlets were a whirlwind of power, each punch a calcted attempt to breach my defenses. But I was relentless, my des a barrier that thwarted her advances. The sh of our weapons reverberated through the arena, a symphony ofbat that drew the mana into a frenzy.


    In a burst of speed, N unleashed a flurry of kicks, her movements a blur of motion. I deflected each strike with my dual des, my heart pounding in tandem with the rhythm of the battle. With a sudden twist, I seized an opening, my des finding purchase against N''s gauntlets, sending a shockwave of energy through her.


    She staggered, her momentum disrupted, and I seized the opportunity. With a fluid motion, I delivered a devastating strike, my dual des colliding with her chest in a burst of energy. N was sent flying, her form skidding across the ground before she regained her footing.


    Blood pumped in my veins as I pressed forward, my des a blur of motion as Iunched a relentless assault. N''s gauntlets met my strikes with renewed determination, the sh of our weapons a testament to our unyielding resolve. Sweat glistened on my brow, my muscles screaming with effort, but I pushed forward.


    The room seemed to blur around us as we fought, a vortex of power and intensity. N''s gauntlets were formidable, her skill undeniable, but I had the advantage—a bow transformed into twin des, a strategy born from innovation and necessity.


    With a final surge of energy, I unleashed a series of rapid strikes, my des finding their mark against N''s defenses. She staggered, her form weakening, and in a burst of motion, I delivered a final, sweeping strike that sent her crashing to the ground.


    Now a wide distance existed between us and in our little bout of just martial control I won. But this only seemed to make N more interested as a wide smile filled her face, the ''X'' shape in her eyes twinkling as she blurted out.


    "Yes! This is what I want! I knew you won''t go down like this!"


    Her scream of hysteria shook the room, the mana around her trembling in delight as her gauntlet lit up. She didn''t give me any breathing space as her first punched forward at least a hundred times! Just as I blinked my eyes, hundreds of powered fists were on me, the sheer power of N''s punch materializing powerful fists, which soon covered my body.


    <TriComb Barrier>


    Yet they didn''t touch my body as a powerful barrier in the shape of a grid appeared in front of me, blocking that attack. As it hit the barrier, it trembled, cracks appearing on it yet it withstood the hundreds of punches that reached me. Then with thest fist, the barrier broke and our eyes met.


    "The ability to insta cast? Just how much more will you show me?!"


    As she asked this, N licked her lips in delight, a unique red color energy starting to cover over her as I saw ck thunder soon covering her body.


    <Bloodline Release: Reckoning Of ck Thunder>


    The sound of thunder was heard across the room, and even before I could react, I felt a hit on my stomach as I flew across the room. The impact was powerful, the force of her strike sending me crashing against the wall.


    ''Tsk, this is getting annoying''


    With a grunt, I pushed myself off the wall, my muscles protesting as I struggled to regain my footing. N advanced, her gauntlets gleaming with energy as she prepared for another attack. The reason that I am taking all these attacks is to first get an idea about all her cards but the more important thing is to get her fully tired so that when she drinks my bloodter it will be all the more explosive.


    As N closed in, her gauntlets crackling with energy, I took a steadying breath.


    "Don''t tell me you will go down with this, show me everything you are hiding!"


    As she finished, the lightning around her sparkled brightly. Thanks to my tough defense, nothing happened to me; otherwise, those dark lightning could havepletely fried my insides from the attack earlier.


    ''So that''s the special bloodline power of the vampire royalty.''


    As I thought so, N disappeared again, but this time I stayed in my spot. My hand rose as I stopped N''s attack with one finger.


    The sound of thunder once again filled the ce as tendrils of ck lightning tried to go through my body. A small pressure was felt on my finger, a testament to the power coursing through N''s body. Soon, only the sound of thunder kept filling the room as N kept shing around. Her body disyed extreme levels of martial adaptiveness as she tried attacking me from all sides with speed beyond the norm.


    But unlucky for her, I am done ying. If I want toter conquer her, then I need to set the power difference between us at ayer she will never be able to ovee.


    An attack came from the left which I once again blocked, just as I did N disappeared again and appeared on my right. Her foot aimed for my head. With light movements, I easily dodged her, and before she could react, I got her leg and threw her away. She flipped mid-air as she leaped in the air, the sound of thunder still filling the room.


    "Just what kind of monster are you?" N asked.


    "I could say the same about you," I responded as I saw the smile spreading across N''s face, one filled with pure happiness at the battle. Soon another sound of thunder was heard, but this time, it wasrger and much stronger than the ones before. In front of my eyes, the ck lightning around N started to get brighter and heavier, the room soon filling with a sizzling sound.


    The sheer amount of lightning coursing through her body filled the room with the brightness of a star. And then N moved, her speed crossing a threshold that breaks all mortal limits as she unleashed her own technique.


    <N''s Third Form Of Lightning: One Inch Punch Million Burst>


    A heavy pressure fell into the room, and just as N finished her attack, everything in front of her disappeared. The very room that was meant to take the attack of an Origin level 10 was destroyed beyond words. All the lightning around N started to slowly sizzle out as heavy pants left her mouth, yet her eyes stayed front, focused on me as I stood amidst all the destruction, without a single injury on me.


    "H-How?" N asked, the scene I was disying being too much even for the battle-hungry princess. The process was pretty simple, actually. All I had to do was cover my total frontal area with destruction energy, and all the attacks around me just disappeared.


    "You had your fun, now it''s my turn," I said, disappearing from where I stood and appearing right in front of N in a speed she couldn''t believe. I punched her stomach, causing her to fly across the room. As she did, I looked at my hand.


    ''Damn, just what kind of protection is that battle dress giving her?''


    Cause I felt like I punched a steel wall.
