Chapter 455: Keira Vs Alice

"Is she the one who messed up the plan last time?" Troy asked, finishing his push-ups.

He could see the split haired girl blocking attacks by sending them to the Void while firing off blasts with her fingers.

Each blast that collided with the barrier caused it to tremble and drain more energy in order to sustain itself.

Not only that, but her appearance didn't stop the northern barbarians from stopping their onslaught either. Countless abilities still rained down from above. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, this time it was harder to fend it off since the girl was keeping them occupied so more attacks managed to get through their counters.

If this were to keep up, it would only be a matter of time before their barrier falls.

"Yes, she's the b*tch that should've died but instead lived after blowing herself up." Keira narrowed her eyes.

She wanted to just rush out there and tear off her head from her shoulders but she couldn't disobey orders. Her value had already dropped because of the mess up at the port. Even though it shouldn't have been her fault, she was still there when the watchtower fell.

If she had sorted it out silently, their deal wouldn't have fallen flat.

"We can make a move right? The family ordered for us to take care of the barbarians if something abnormal happens." Keira glanced over to Troy.

"I believe they meant it looks like our side is about to retreat. It's still up for debate but seeing as how the barrier is faltering, it shouldn't be an issue so long as you don't reveal your beast form." Troy shook his head.

As long as their nature as hybrids wasn't revealed, they could do whatever they wanted on the battlefield.

If anything, he felt grateful to the split haired girl. If it wasn't for her, he might've needed to keep hearing about how Keira was bored.

Cracking her knuckles, Keira grinned.

"Great! I can finally vent this anger in my chest. Just make sure the soldiers don't interfere with my fight, she's mine." Keira stretched her body before jumping towards the battlefield.

Letting out a light sigh, Troy passed on the message to the commander and had him focus on preserving the barrier first.

Glancing up, Alice tilted her head in confusion as the barrage of attacks suddenly stopped.

"Did they get bored?" Alice muttered in confusion and annoyance. Right when she was getting excited, they decided to give up.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a familiar aura approached her at rapid speeds along with a thick killing intent.

Widening her eyes, Alice's smile curled up into an excited grin as she created a spear and twisted her body.

*CLANGGG!!!!!

Colliding with Keira's arm which was covered by obsidian and lava, Alice let out a laugh.

"Yo! It's been a while hasn't it? I'm glad someone knows how to keep the fun going instead of stopping!" Alice greeted, kicking the spear and pushing Keira back.

"Didn't think you were a fun lover you rat! Weren't you so scared of fighting last time? Are you gonna blow yourself up again?" Keira taunted back, slamming her foot down as an arena of flames was created in an instant.

"Don't worry about an arena, I'm not planning on cutting the fun short." Alice chuckled.

Since a hybrid decided to bring herself to her doorstep, she was going to make it worth her time. A perfect target to limit test the powers of her current Sigils and her body.

"I wouldn't be so sure. If you're not going to cut the fun short then you don't have to worry about it." Keira flipped her hair before snapping her finger.

At that moment, a crimson circle appeared around Alice's body before locking down and fading away.

Furrowing her brows, Alice was about to say something when Keira jumped out of her shadow.

Bending her body back, Alice countered by creating a blood blade but Keira was one step ahead.

Flames coiled to life above her palms as she stabbed a flaming lance down.

*CLANG!!!!

Forced to use her shard to guard, Alice rolled to the side.

"Hah! Dirt fits a rat like you after all." Keira sneered.

*BANG!!!

Stomping down with her foot, inferno chains shot out, seeking to restrain Alice.

Now that it's come to this, Alice snapped her finger and created several portals into the Void before cutting it off, forcefully severing the chains.

Wiping the dirt from her face, Alice narrowed her eyes and created a spear in hand using her third Sigil.

Seeing that Alice wasn't retreating, Keira grinned as she entered a slightly relaxed stance before taunting Alice to make the first move.

Since she was humiliated by this rat last time, she was going to pay it all back and more!

'So you want to be arrogant huh? Let's see how you can keep this up later.' Alice rolled her eyes as she dashed towards Keira while keeping her body as close to the ground as possible.

Right before colliding, she adjusted her footwork and used the ground to her advantage. Sliding on her left foot, she ducked under Keira's counter before slashing up with her spear.

Dirt launched towards Keira's eyes as flames erupted from her body, burning the dirt away and then caught the spear between her fingers.

"Playing dirty now are we? As expected of a rat." Keira sneered but Alice didn't respond and simply smiled.

Void Flux!!!

*BANG!!!!!

A spark detonated behind Keira as her body was flung forward and away from Alice.

Crashing across the ground, she quickly got back onto her feet as veins bulged on her neck.

The blast had seared her outfit but her skin was unharmed.

"Seems like I'm not the only one suited for dirt." Alice stuck out her tongue, snapping her finger as Keira braced herself for the next Void Flux.

However, to her surprise, no attack appeared.

Instead, a portal opened under her foot, disrupting her balance as Alice twisted her body and slammed the spear shaft against Keira's head followed by a kick in the face.

Glaring at Alice with bloodshot eyes, Keira was about to use her flames when Alice jumped back and a Void Flux detonated beside her face.

*BANG!!!!

Watching the ball of flames do nothing to Keira's body, Alice couldn't help but whistle.

"You're one sturdy motherf*cker aren't you? Gonna make me break a sweat at this rate." Alice chuckled.

However, despite her confident words, Keira's toughness indeed worried her.

The Void Fluxes that she used, while not at maximum output, weren't something to laugh at either. It should've been more than enough to leave a mark but all it did was damage Keira's outfit.

Brushing the smoke aside, Keira stood unharmed with anger written all over her face.

Even though Alice didn't do any damage to her, all of her attacks only served to heighten her anger.

On the side of her body, Alice spotted scales that were glowing with a golden red hue.

Cracks appeared on the side of Keira's cheeks as she took a deep breath.

"!!!"

Instinctively, Alice felt the threat of death and opened a portal as fast as she could.

*BOOM!!!

A torrent of flames rushed towards Alice, colliding with the half opened portal and shattering it in an instant. What she couldn't teleport away using her fourth Sigil crashed against her left arm, turning it to ash as Alice gritted her teeth from the pain.

Behind Keira, she could see the visage of her bestial form as the air around her mouth sizzled from the heat of her breath attack.

"Tsk, I should call you a cockroach instead of a rat. Slippering f*cker." Keira growled in anger.

However, now that Alice had lost her arm and suffered mortal damage, all she needed to do now was to finish her off.

Creating a lance of flames beside her, Keira walked up to Alice who was clutching her shoulder while kneeling on the ground.

"It's over." Raising her hand, Keira stabbed the lance down.

"Gotcha." Alice grinned.

*KRRR!!!

Her flesh twisted as bones, flesh and skin reformed in an instant and Alice grabbed the flaming lance with her bare hands.

Even though her skin sizzled from the head, violet flames burst out and fought back.

Golden chains manifested across her body as her aura shifted into that of a more violent nature.

*BANG!!!!

Releasing a devastating right hook to Keira's body, Alyss twisted her body and sent Keira crashing across the ground as she shook her right hand.

"Ssss! You're not wrong twinnie, she's a tough motherf*cker! Broke my hand punching this b*tch!" Alyss complained, taking a sharp breath as she healed her right hand.

Glancing up, Keira was shocked speechless.

That speed of regeneration, it was absurd! Even amongst the hybrids, there were few who could match this speed. Hell! Even those focused on regeneration might not even beat Alice in terms of raw speed alone!

After seeing this, Keira made her choice.

No more playing around! Alice couldn't be allowed to leave today!

Her hair flared up as flames manifested on the edges of her hair. Around her, the ground began to crack apart as lava splattered past the gaps and the air began to distort from the flames.

However, Alyss was unphased. Summoning Ruinous Void, she transformed them into their gauntlet form!

The power of the Void surged around her arms as it condensed into a pair of purple crystalline gauntlets. Pulses of energy could be seen radiating from the weapon as violet energy exuded from the surface like mist.

Hopping on her foot a few times, Alyss disappeared from her spot and appeared right in front of Keira, her arm pulled back and ready to unleash a devastating punch!
