Chapter 1320 The Matriarch and Yoruichi part 6

The two combatants got close and it ended up a full-on barehanded fight.

Yoruichi, with a small smile displayed on her face, was feeling the immense pressure that her opponent was giving her, 'My Shunko is already fully committed but I can't gain any ground at all.'

On the contrary, she's actually losing her edge because she has been going at her with full power, and the lightning cladding her body that's enough to melt almost anything is already damaging her body. On top of that, Corvina has these almost unpredictable shadow tentacles that would attack her at the most opportune times. While she could detect her and her shadow's movements in complete darkness through electrostatic charges, Yoruichi was only able to block the fatal ones and smaller attacks started accumulating causing detrimental effects to her movement, 'And there's not a change in her expression at all! I didn't expect that she's such a monster.'

Yoruichi was really happy that she challenged her like this as this is the first time she managed to get baseline information of a prominent Etoulde combatant.

But different from how Yoruichi was thinking, Corvina was not as calm as she's showing. With her deadpan expression, Corvina is hiding her nervousness, 'Someone like her came from Draconic Deus? Is this why the Holy Mother is keeping others away from that place?'

Unlike Yoruichi's sharp and explosive attacks, Corvina's movements are slower but a lot more flexible, making it possible to deflect most of the strength of her opponent. In addition to her unexpectedly hard shadow armor that protects her even from the heat of Yoruichi's lightning, she was able to stand her ground against someone known for her close combat capabilities.

Despite this apparent strength, under her armor of shadow were multiple burns that even charred some of her flesh, 'She's strong... Not even Adrenna would be able to deal with her. And since her lightning is mostly made out of Spiritual Power, it could momentarily pierce through my shadow.'

However, that's not the most terrifying thing about her is the martial technique she's using, 'Seriously, where did something like this come from?'

Each hit that Yoruichi gives her rattles her soul directly. Since Spiritual Power came directly from the soul, it's disrupting her ability and if she gets a direct hit, it could even directly hurt her soul, 'It's easy to chalk this lightning up as her unique ability, but this martial technique could be learned! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this an anti-Etoulde art!'

Corvina also noticed that Yoruichi was fully capable of escaping from the barrier she created and the reason for her unwillingness to do this was, 'She's also gauging me. If this technique was created to combat an Etoulde, she wouldn't be testing me like this. That would mean that this was developed for a different purpose.'

After a bit more contemplation, she figured that she'd be at a disadvantage in terms of information gathering as she didn't have enough context to pull out any conclusions. So when she found a chance, Corvina met Yoruichi's fist with her own, causing a huge explosion of power from both sides and forcing both of them to take distance.

Yoruichi coughs out blood and can tell that more of these spears are coming, 'I can still detect them, thankfully. But I can't react in time. They're too fast.'

While preparing the next volley of spears, Corvina suddenly heard Yoruichi chuckling and she couldn't help but frown.

"Bankai... Kyo no Kougou, Byakko!"

As fast as Corvina spread her light, the dome that was holding both of them burst open without any resistance. Seeing this and feeling the massive pressure that is incomparable to what Yoruichi had released before, Corvina could only smile wryly, 'I have to meet lady Chimune Chipaoti. To think she's hiding this monster.'

The lightning on Yoruichi's body disappeared and her defenses weakened considerably due to that.

Corvina was confused and wondered what sort of transformation she went through next. Nevertheless, that didn't stop her from shooting out the next valley of lights that looked like lasers when they traveled instantaneously.

Since her aim was to incapacitate Yoruichi, she didn't aim at any important parts and it also helps to hide her attacks if she didn't have any killing intent.

Those beams of piercing light that melded into the blinding surroundings soon reached Yoruichi within a fraction of a second but to Corvina's surprise, these tens of attacks all bent around Yoruichi causing all of them to miss, "Huh?"

The next instant, the image of Yoruichi from the distance warped strangely, and before Corvina knew it, she was already standing in front of her with a very thin, almost translucent single edged short sword drawn and ready to swing down, "!?"

Corvina hurriedly put her right arm in front of her to block the sword. Compared to when she was in her 'Shadow Form', her 'Light Form' boasted several times of its raw defensive capability, making her a walking and flying fortress. She intended to make a counterattack after blocking the sword but the moment its blade connected to her armor of light, her instincts screamed at her and she hurriedly flew back off.

Even faster than a hot knife through cold butter, Corvina's arm was instantly lopped off by Yoruichi's sword.
