Chapter 520 The Last Bout [Pt 5]

Belle Vanitas was filthy.

She was covered in blood and bruises, and she even had slight burn marks on her body.

Her dress was tattered, revealing an ample amount of skin and underwear. However, despite this crass appearance, she still looked incredibly intimidating.

Her long hair floated in the air as a deep, crazed scowl was seated on her pretty face. She had the gaze of a madwoman, and the tears that flowed down her face added a layer of sadness to her rage.

"You..." She muttered, her gaze directed at the trembling Ser'ith. "... Where do you think you're running to?"

As she took a step forward, the ground rumbled.

"You think you can just run away after what you did?" Her eyes glowed dark pink—almost purple—as she deepened the glare on her enemy.

Despite being surrounded by her unconscious allies—like Justin, Clark, Billy, and Trisha—and the conscious ones like Adonis and Alicia; even seeing new faces, like Brutus and Lucielle, while missing a few like Eric and Snow... Belle paid them no mind.

Her gaze was only on the Dragon Commander in front of her.

"I'll kill you... MOTHERFUCKER!"

**********

Ser'ith?trembled as he heard the human girl utter those words.

He knew, since it had been ingrained deep inside his body, that she was capable of those very words. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

'H-how humiliating. This is... this is not how things are supposed to go!'

He was the one meant to be dishing out the threats and looking down on his adversaries. In fact, he had done just that during their initial encounter.

'When I saw them rescuing those people, I thought for sure that they were easy prey.' His body trembled as he remembered how he approached them from his high estate.

He was still very bloodthirsty back then, so he was looking for any excuse to kill someone—or something. He would have killed the powerless denizens of the city, but what was the fun in that?

Killing defenseless small fry wasn't going to give him the satisfaction he craved.

Instead, the glare of the two humans who stood against him... now that was what he lived for!

... Not against this one.

'I don't know how she does it, but her attacks always land, even if I teleport or use Spatial Magic to warp space.'

It was almost as if her power ignored distance.

Plus, she always seemed to track him down no matter where he teleported to. Sure, he was able to land some hits in the beginning—hence the reason why she looked so disheveled—

but she quickly acclimated to his attacks and started dishing out counters.

'Her attacks are invisible, and they hit with scary precision. They're also too fast!'

It got so bad to the point that Ser'ith couldn't activate his Spatial Magic any longer. The moment he tried to, he would get hit by a powerful barrage that would completely ruin his actions.

'Spatial Magic requires incredible concentration. She's constantly overwhelming me, preventing me from using it properly.'

There was nothing in his arsenal that he could use to diffuse her. If he had a partner, sure, they could tag her and emerge victorious.

But alone? He stood no chance at all!

'Is this all because I killed that guy? Was he her lover or something?' Ser'ith didn't know the nature of their relationship, but he knew something for sure.

Staring deep into Belle's murderous eyes, and seeing how the overflowing energy around her kept undulating, he was well aware of his impending fate.

'I'm going to die at this rate!'
