The showers of blood rain spilled on the scene. My target was unharmed behind the thin filter of her mystique.
"Blood Aegis."
But can the attack i gave be easily be stopped with this meagre technique?
"SLASH!" The shock waves of my punch shattered her beautiful face to a gooey mess.
Her tiny body fell into the rivers of blood below but in an instant, the same essences helped her form up to project another one of her guises. This time the vision that presented before me was that of a teen.
Perhaps 13 or so and along her transformation was the jump of potency that she was releasing. Comparable to a Soul Creation Realm of peak strength.

"I don't think that's enough power for you to escape death tonight, Nafia. Show me more!" i taunted and charged once again.
My form radiated like a sun in this dark world and with my movements came the discord of valor as we exchanged thousands of attacks in just a blink of an eye.
I could have crushed her easily but since i don't want to spoil a tasty treat prematurely, i decided to give and take a taste of her proficiency in battle.
"Kiss of the Defiant." i heard her intone and the entire world joined her in the technique.
Her form vanished before me and what i perceived next was the gargantuan mouths that threatened to devour me whole. Their teeth were sharp and merciless yet their sizes even dwarfed their monstrosity.
Same as everything else in this planet, all of her conjured power took the guise of the darkest nights. About 30 feet tall of countless horrifying jaws of death.
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
"BANG!" teeth were misplaced and ghastly apparitions of bloody lips borne back to their liquid form.
I did not use any technique of my own but only resisted the crowded offense with but the hardness of my physique alone.
It was a good time to do some heavy lifting and i rejoiced in the fact that i could unleash a portion of my power to a barely passable adversary.
"BOOM!" my body vanished from the spot and flew directly at Nafia's body. A gigantic claw barred my path as she hastily withdrew from my pursuit.
But alas, her speed was comparable to a turtle against my own.
"WHOOSH!" Nafia disintegrated with one fist of mine. So did the oversized chicken hands that affronted my sight. I knew that with every death of hers, pain was definitely not absent.
But the bold woman never echoed a sound of suffering and took it all in silence.
"You are a great warrior, Nafia." i commented above. The world darkened and i heard the crying lament of the multitudes. They did not come beneath my form but of everywhere else around me.
I reckoned that her kin would have wanted to help her but was strictly denied of their wishes by their one and only queen. The one they knew only as Alexis Blight.
"That is indeed a compliment coming from you." i heard Nafia's reply before i even saw her body. And within moments of the last echoes that died down, she had reappeared in a grand display of splendor.
The unquantifiable crimson liquid that comprised her domain was sucked out into her physique. Gone was the teen and what replaced her previous guise was her truest form. The Monarch of Shadows.
She was tall. Perhaps even comparable to my height. A full 7 feet creature of the dark.
The garments sway beautifully on the windless night but what was more alluring was the otherworldly charm that she had exuded in my eyes. This was a classical woman who abided by the creed of her past.
And as more time had flown between us, my desire to make her live increased even more. She would be a good addition to the collection of my pets indeed.
"Why do you fight?" i asked her. Though she was effectively an existence equal to an Immortal Sovereign by the temporary boost she had borrowed, but even that was a paltry waste before me.
"What do you mean? You and my kind have always fought since time immemorial.
Blood had separated us by the oceans that we created with it in our long history of conflict. It is only natural that we fight." Nafia answered with that unperturbed voice of hers.
She was calm even in the face of certain death and i applauded her all the more for her bravery. Or stupidity. There was a thin distinction between them.
"You could have run away but you didn't. Very unwise don't you think so, Alexis Blight?" i smiled before i continued.
"Or do you think too highly of the namesake that you have been forced to carry as your own? Nafia."
"BANG!" The world shook and the landscape changed with the sudden outburst of power. Even the majestic fortress below us crumbled to smithereens with how thoughtless Nafia was wielding her might.
And in her eyes flowed the bloody tears of hate and of her resolution. I wandered my eyes around and observed that the world was emptied out of her kin.
Agile twinkles in the horizon towards the embrace of the ever darkness of the void happened in but a flash. It seemed that this bitch was going to end it all in one unstoppable strike.
With it would undoubtedly follow the total annihilation of her world. Suits me just fine. Not my world to begin with. I smiled and waited for her final act.
"Stay your hand, Alexis. You have done well enough already." and here came an aged voice. I tried to find the location of the speaker but alas, my vision turned upside down after another breath.
"BOOM!" i barreled down to the sticky fields and flattened mountaintops with my uncontrolled descent. And after an indeterminate while, there was a strong iron flavor in my mouth.
It was the taste of my own blood. Sticky and copious. How long has it been since i had last been wounded? Eternities and eons past.
"Finally, someone capable has appeared." i thought elatedly and stood up from the ruins that entombed my body.
