''Hmm? Are you going to help me at all? Instead of this silly talk, you''d better think of something! I already know I have a lot of energy! You''re just so obvious!'' Nicole eximed grudgingly as she looked reproachfully at Erder.
Step. Step. Step.
Gaur paced slowly in her direction, spinning his sickle in his hand. The currents of wind swirled around him, preventing any sudden attack Nicole might have made.
"Well, well, it looks like your powers areing to an end. I''ve never seen anyone lose so much blood but still stay on their feet, it''s actually amazing." Gaur said calmly as he pointed at Nicole.
A small puddle of blood had already umted beneath her feet, splitting into several pieces, and flowing among the ck earth.
Nicole didn''t say anything, she just prepared to fight, putting the scythe out in front of her.
"You don''t say anything? Looks like your business is really bad... Agh, you were a worthy adversary anyway. I didn''t think that a mere girl would be able to bash me so badly." Gaur looked at his shredded torso before lunging forward.
In instant, their weapons collided as Nicole felt the powerful pressuree down on her.
''Shit! Shit! Shit! It''s too hard!'' Nicole inwardly eximed while her hands shook violently.
"Can''t handle it, right? Well, that''s not all." Gaur muttered with an ice-cold look before taking a deep breath.
Streams of wind headed toward him, filling his chest, then he released all the wind right into Nicole. Gaur''s energy changed the wind turning it into hundreds of sharp des that swept through Nicole, leaving many cuts on her body.
"Argh!!!" Nicole cried out in pain as scarlet blood gushed from her wounds.
"Fine, now it''s time to end our fight. I will make onest attack." Gaur said confidently, plunging the de of his sickle into Nicole''s shoulder.
Her eyes went wide with the painful shock and waves of agony that went through her body time after time, making her feel an intense heat.
Crackling.
Gaur stepped forward as the ground beneath him cracked, then to his outstretched palm headed a wind that turned his hand into a deadly weapon, a spear that was ready to pierce Nicole.
"See you in the next life, a mad beast in a girl''s disguise." Gaur muttered as his hand turned into a blur.
Crackling.
At the same moment, the white de of the scythe rose in front of Gaur''s palmpletely blocking it when Nicole''s face changed.
"What the hell...? How could you calcte my blow in your condition...?" Gaur muttered in disbelief.
"Hehehe... Did you really think I wouldn''t be able to withstand a few more attacks? Though I''ll admit, it hurt like hell before." Nicole smirked as she looked at Gaur like a predator who had trapped his prey.
Gaur flinched, his instincts telling him that something very bad was going on, especially for him, so he hurriedly pulled his sickle from Nicole''s shoulder and repeated his attack.
Crackle.
Nicole squeezed Gaur''s hand tightly, not allowing him to move, so hard that she heard the crunching of his bones, which seemed ready to break at any moment.
"You''re tough... tougher than I am... If we keep fighting further you''ll definitely win, but I have no way to win since I''ve already lost too much blood..." Nicole muttered while her aura grew stronger and the darkness thickened around her.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Space trembled as the scythe''s de was covered in a denseyer of energy, so powerful that the mere pressure caused some of Gaur and Nicole''s wounds to reopen.
"However, I can''t let you be the one left standing when I''m lying in a pool of my own blood. If I can''t win then we''ll both lose!" Nicole eximed thunderously before unleashing a scythe on Gaur.
She used two hands, so Gaur was finally able to pick up his sickle and try to defend himself when Nicole''s attack was already right in front of him.
Their weapons shed, a dense darkness with a cruel wind as well as two sharp des with the fierce stares of their owners.
In the wake of their collision, a ck, hollow sphere appeared at the tips of their weapons, which trembled violently. In a heartbeat the sphere erged a hundred times, covering everything within a hundred-meter radius like a sh.
"Here we go." Wain smirked as the pressure in the sphere reached its limit and there was an explosion.
All the energy burst out with streams of ck energy as well as wind des flying off to the sides.
The darkness destroyed the ruins, and the dry trees and swept away the ashes, exposing the mistynds. The wind des as uncontroble weapons left random cuts all over the area, some of which were truly enormous.
Nicole and Gaur were in the midst of the st, so each of them had to take full damage, now it was up to whichever attack was stronger.
"Shit... I can''t see anything... What happened out there?" Reto muttered with his arms out in front of him to protect him from the wind currents. He tried to make out their silhouettes, but the thick fog prevented him from doing so.
"She used as powerful an attack as she ever could... I can''t say I wasn''t expecting it, but it looked too careless to even for her." Wain said with slight concern, keeping his arms crossed over his chest.
"You think she won?" Felix asked as he shook his hand.
Wain didn''t answer anything, he just looked ahead with the hope that Nicole''s fighting style had once again led her to victory.
Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.
A massive silhouette with thick ck fur tried to rise, but as its chest lifted to the ground blood gushed from it and the silhouette fell. At the same time, a second silhouette, much smaller, slowly moved forward, grasping the ground with its hand and crawling forward.
"Agh... Bastard... Don''t you dare get up... I''ll rip out your shitty tongue as well as your heart with my own hands..." Nicole mumbled with difficulty while everything in front of her blurred.
''Nicole...'' Erder muttered, ''Stop, he''s already dead...''
