1812 Chapter 1604: War upon them 2
Swoosh! Slash!
Alice who disappeared, left an injury on the seventh apostle by attacking with both sword and a ghastly looking dagger.
She narrowed her eyes while looking at the injury she left on the seventh apostle.
'It could've been better. It wasn't deep enough.'
The seventh apostle managed to avoid a fatal injury by bending himself backward the moment that ghastly dagger was thrust at him. He even lowered his posture after that while stopping the bleeding on his chest to prepare against the next attack.
'He isn't going out of control. He has a better control facing a provocation.'
He was agitated for sure, but he still remained reasonable. He must've learned from the previous fight that losing his mind would lead to his loss.
"I have to confess."
The seventh apostle nodded while pressing on his wound to stop the bleeding. He must've been feeling extreme pain because of the weird sword energy even if he managed to stop the bleeding, but he wasn't really showing it on the outside.
"I didn't expect you to stab me like this. This is rather original."
"You talk too much for a man, are you perhaps a politician?"
Alice snorted and twirled her sword.
"I don't need your acknowledgement. I just want your head."
She caught her breath and crossed her arms while holding the two weapons.
'I should finish him off quickly.'
Alice was trying to pretend she didn't, but she had to spend a lot of aura to destroy the Ghost Blood Array. She decided to quickly finish the seventh apostle off without delay.
"You are just an insect..."
The seventh apostle frowned heavily as he raised his saw sword towards Alice. Alice's blatant mockery was apparently more irritating than the blow he took. The bloody energy burst from the saw sword was threatening enough to make his hair stand on end.
Alice violently kicked the ground. She used her movement skill to charge at the seventh apostle from the front like lightning.
"You bastard!"
He must've thought she was underestimating him because she was attacking from the front like that. He swung his saw sword.
The deadly blade, surrounded by powerful bloody energy mixed with a chaos energy, reached right in front of Alice's eyes. It was fast, heavy, and sharp at the same time.
Alice turned her left foot slightly to step forward. Her smooth step made it look like she was walking on water as dhe brushed the atmosphere with a beautiful sword slash.
Clang!
The silver blade, incorporating icy cold energy, flowed like a constellation to block the seventh apostle's saw sword.
She leaned forward. It was time to attack, since she managed to defend. She grabbed her dagger lightly to use the Fire skill.
Crimson Slash!
A line of raging fire dashed over the blade like a ray of light to smack the saw sword's tip.
Clang!
The saw sword was violently bounced back despite the tremendous power it contained.
"H-How dare you, you bitch?!"
The seventh apostle tried to slip away like a loach, and Alice used the Supreme Steps
(A/N: Her self-made movement skill combining Wind and Space.)
She folded the space to catch up to him and swung down with the ghastly dagger, aiming for his shoulder.
Crack!
The seventh apostle's collarbone was torn apart, and impure blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Gaguah!"
He grasped his shoulder and screamed in pain while stepping back.
"H-How did you manage to shatter the Chaos Demon's Blood Art?"
"..."
Alice didn't respond, instead using the Supreme Steps once again. Her advance looked like she was riding the tide as she pierced into his left side.
"Get away!"
As expected of a demigod level warrior, the seventh apostle quickly stopped his panic and swung his saw sword. His strike was almost as powerful as the previous one.
Alice didn't withdraw. She used her Flames Art to create a sphere on top of the ghastly dagger, which she was holding in a reverse grip.
Cring!
It was Firewall of the Flames Art. The raging heat emerged like a shield to fend off the seventh apostle's saw sword. She followed up with her gift, her sword, brimming with coldness as she used the Ice element.
Claang!
The saw sword was trembling violently in between the two swords, and it looked like it could break at any moment.
Pssh!
Blood gushed from the injuries on the seventh apostle's chest and shoulder, which he'd barely managed to stop from bleeding earlier.
"Argh!"
Things have started to become problematic for the new apostle, he had the feeling that he might die here and fail his first real mission.
