Chapter 469: Keira's End

With the eruption of the singularity within Keira's body, both of them were launched from one another as Alice furrowed her brows and revealed a slight frown.

The initial stages of her skill were fantastic. To traverse all this space in a split second and hit her enemy with an attack that they practically can't dodge. However, the second half disappointed her. Too much of the energy was wasted and instead of harming her enemy, a lot of it took out the surroundings instead.

There were still plenty of improvements to be made to this skill before she could give it a name and use it consistently. But for now, this was enough since it achieved the purpose of breaching Keira's defences.

'I don't have the energy to use this attack anyway and it takes too long to charge. It's more of a skill to open a fight rather than be used throughout one.' Alice thought to herself as she stood up and created a blade from blood.

Even though Keira was missing a large chunk of her body, the flesh still writhed, aiming to regenerate.

"I believe this is our fourth meeting now isn't it? I don't think we should go for a fifth so why don't we end this here?" Alice asked with a smile, rushing towards Keira as she unleashed an upward slash.

*KRRR!!!

From her blade, a wave of energy tore forward towards Keira. Violet flame surged from the wave and crashed against her bleeding flesh, causing her to cry out in pain.

"YOU! F*CKING!!! RATTTTT!!!" Keira roared as her flesh bulged.

She refused to let a rat like this kill her!

"Why do you keep getting in my way?! Why couldn't you have just died at the tower!?!?"

*BANG!!!

Slamming down with her fist, a pillar of energy erupted from her body as her form began to shift.

Second Resonance! Human Beast Hybrid!

"Why are you able to survive my attack?! Why are you standing in front of me unharmed?! Why? WHY? WHY!?!?!" Keira screamed as the flesh bulged around her wound.

Purple veins reached down from the emptiness of the Void and melded together with her flesh.

Realising that this was the Void mutating Keira further, Alice wanted to step in but the tsunami of energy erupting from Keira prevented her from pushing ahead.

"I'm a member of the new glorious race! How dare a filthy rat stand before me!"

The spectral image of a beast appeared behind Keira as Alice understood that she too was using Bloodline Release.

'Did the Zenia's get a sealed lord to teach them?'

However, considering how Selen has the power of Miralith, it is only natural.

Each time she ran into a member of the Zenia's, the deeper this rabbit hole went.

However, with Keira's unstable state, her second Resonance began to break apart, revealing the purple spines digging through her flesh.

There was only one thing on her mind and that was to kill the rat in front of her.

*BANG!!! Sёarch* The nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Disappearing from her spot, she appeared next to Alice with her arm pulled back.

Flames erupted on her fist as she punched toward Alice who flipped over the punch with ease.

Her physical prowess had increased tremendously after unlocking a full Bloodline Release.

Right now, she was a bonafide five Sigil Hunter with the physique to match! Hell, she was actually stronger physically due to the passive enhancements that her Sigils granted her!

Twisting her body, Alice was about to release a Void Flux – Cleave when spikes shot out of Keira's back.

Abandoning her plan of attack, Alice released a horizontal slash and parried the spikes.

Digging her hands into the ground beneath her, Keira threw a boulder at Alice.

Furrowing her brows, Alice snapped her finger and warped herself away from danger. Right now, Keira was panicking and Alice could see that. It felt like a child throwing whatever she could at the danger she was perceiving.

Seeing that Alice had dodged, Keira snapped her head towards Alice's direction and cracked open her mouth.

A torrent of flames fired at in an instant but Alice wasn't phased.

Slamming her hand down, the Shards of Kara gathered as Alice funnelled her Bloodline Release into it as well, reinforcing the shield and blocking the breath without any issues.

"Is this all you've got? For a proud member of the new race, you are sorely lacking. But I suppose that's only to be expected when you're nothing but a cheap copy." Alice taunted while stomping down with her foot.

Briar thorns jumped out of the ground, whipping around Keira's limbs and securing her in place.

From behind her shield, Alice gathered her energy into a tiny spark in front of her finger and fired a Void Flux.

*BANG!!!

"ARGGGG!!!" Feeling the explosion on her shoulder, Keira let out a cry as her arm was torn off.

Her flesh twisted and writhed before regenerating once more.

A forced smile appeared on Keira's face.

"You'll never kill me. I'll keep regenerating! This is the difference between us!"

Hearing this, Alice couldn't help but find it rather laughable.

But more than that, there was something familiar about Keira's body.

Now that she's been weakened to this stage, Alice could sense it clearly. A hint of her own blood inside Keira.

While it was present within her, it was extremely diluted.

"PFT!!! AHAHAHA!" Realising this, Alice couldn't help but let out a laugh, confusing Keira.

"Do you even know what they did to your body?" Alice asked curiously but her question only served to confuse Keira.

Ignoring Alice, Keira unfurled a pair of wings behind her as her speed increased drastically. Disappearing from where she stood, she appeared behind Alice and punched towards her head.

Tilting her head to the side, Alice dodged easily before creating a singularity in her palm. Slamming the singularity against Keira's elbow and ripping it off, Alice grabbed what remained of her arm and threw her away.

With Keira in the air, Alice snapped her finger and several sparks manifested around Keira's body.

*BANG!!!

An explosion of violet flames erupted as Keira's body was sent crashing towards the ground.

Her regeneration hindered by these flames as confusion filled her eyes.

But Alice wasn't about to give her a break.

Dashing in front of Keira, Alice swung her leg and kicked her in the face, breaking several teeth before grabbing her by the hair.

Creating another singularity in her hand, she jammed it into Keira's mouth, ripping off her jaw and throwing her away once more.

*BANG!!!

Crashing against the wall, Keira coughed up blood as she struggled to regenerate. She could feel the Void digging deeper into her mind and body, stripping her bare as tears ran down her face.

"Why!? Why couldn't you have just died!?" She screamed.

Flesh burst out from her wounds, transforming into the mutated flesh of Void beasts as Keira slowly lost her resemblance to that of a human.

The mass of flesh began to expand as Alice was silent. She watched as Keira became this colossal beast of flesh, bones and spikes. She had no distinct form as her mind was still wrestling against the influence of the Void but even Alice could tell that it was over.

If she was to leave now, Keira will devolve into a mindless beast with no future.

But that's not what she was about to do. After all, she promised that Keira would die by her hands.

Taking a deep breath, Alice activated her fifth Sigil as a crimson halo appeared above her head.

Scarlet wings unfurled behind her as she closed her eyes.

To release one burst with everything she's got. To exhaust the remaining time she had left of her Bloodline Release.

*BANG!!!

A crimson aura burst out of Alice's body as she aimed her palm towards 'Keira. Sparks began to manifest around her, transforming into large crosses of energy that circled the beast.

Fear dominated Keira's mind as the mass of flesh tried to escape but she couldn't move her body. It felt as though the weight of a thousand buildings crashed down upon her, securing her in place.

"No…" Her voice trembled.

She could sense the energy converging towards her location as the Void around her began to warp.

"NO!!! LET ME OUT!!!" She roared, realising her death was approaching.

The mass of flesh exploded into countless limbs that slammed against the barrier that Alice had put in place with the Shards of Kara but it was no use.

Artificial Resonance!

Motes of darkness formed around Alice as black blood began to drip from her eyes much like the image of her soul.

Reality began to distort. The space around them collapsed into a hybrid of three realms. Fragments of each warped and blended into one another as iridescent energy coiled around Keira.

"I WANT TO LIV-"

Before she could even finish her final cry of desperation, energy erupted into a brilliant display of armageddon. Energy collapsing towards a singular point creating a darkness that swallowed all. Lightning crackled down from above as the realms cried out in pain.

A swirl of violet, blue and red energy dyed the realm in stellar blaze as all traces of Keira was swallowed away by this attack.

What was left behind was only the phenomenon of Alice's attack. A symbol of raw destruction control over the forces of the Void.

Within this singular point, all uses of Abyssal Powers were stripped away by the violet flames, leaving one defenceless against the countless forces tearing against your body.

Having witnessed all of this, the woman who ruled the Void was silent. She contemplated a single thought after seeing the power that Alice wielded.

Whether or not she should get rid of this anomaly before she becomes the bane of the realms. The archon of destruction that brings about the end.
