The explosion from his fall on the wall was short-lived, as someone else took it upon themselves to disperse it. Still, Matt was already floating in the sky when it did.
"Tsk, this annoying woman again." He grabbed his shoulder to straighten it out.
He managed to hit one and killed it instantly, so the increase in his power had been remarkable. But he couldn't hit the other one, as that woman's fist managed to send him flying backward.
She didn't bother to look at Matt's condition; instead, she looked at the Divine Knights behind her. "Go somewhere else; I'll take care of this guy personally," Vanessa said coldly and turned her gaze to Matt.
But in that instant, all she could see was Matt's fist, and soon, she felt a hard blow to her face that sent her slamming into a townhouse.
The impact also carried all of Matt's power currently, so it created destruction when she fell.
She was stunned for a brief moment. 'That was fast.' She thought and jumped upwards once more.
But Matt frowned and looked down at his fist. "What do you have that nose made of? Are you a dragon or something? It's so hard." He grumbled a little.
Instead of breaking her nose from a full-on attack like that, he ended up with a slightly sore hand. That was absurd and showed that this woman was armored all over.
'Maybe that's why she's so respected. With a nose that hard, anyone would be.'
Vanessa frowned and moved at high speed toward him. "Why don't you ask your dead ancestors? Maybe they can give you an answer, you bastard." She said, instantly arriving before him and punching his stomach hard.
*BOOOOOM*
*BREAK*
Two sounds rang out then; one was an explosion that somehow felt cold, and the other was the sound of ice breaking.
And Matt's body was pushed back, but not as much as Vanessa thought.
"You should know that we humans tend to awaken a Domain when we reach a certain amount of power. The vast majority only awaken one Domain. Even at the time, it was like that for me, though I awakened additional abilities still." What she spoke of seemed of no value to Matt, but he listened to her intently.
"But things changed once I overcame one of the insurmountable barriers for everyone. Perhaps it was my tenacity or my talent; perhaps it was also my courage that allowed me to awaken one more Domain. Why was I able to do it? Why couldn't others? These are questions I keep asking myself, but I honestly don't care right now." She said and raised her hand upward slightly.
"That is why now, I, Vanessa Cromwell, as a human who has surpassed 100,000 power, am going to show you what it means to be a human at the apex of the chain." She said, and then a spear appeared in her raised hand.
She began to lower it slowly then and looked at Matt. "And I'm going to kill you. I will prove to the vampires that, under my hand, even their most talented heroes can die." The sinister grin on her face rose as the spear hit the air hard as if it were solid ground.
"Welcome to my most powerful Domain, Vampire!" Just then, the spear slamming into the air caused strong waves of wind to slam against the surroundings.
Matt was surprised by this. '100,000 power!? Holy shit, this woman is absurdly talented!' He felt his heart shudder, and the power he felt was terrifying.
'A domain of someone with over 100,000 power... This will be dangerous.' He wasted no time and immediately summoned his saint sword on his back, thus activating his Sword Domain via the disembodied spirit within.
But immediately, Vanessa Cromwell spoke.
"Time to die, vampire." She forcefully leaped towards him then, strongly swinging her spear, and her speed...

'Isn't she fast?'
Though she was fast, it wasn't the speed he expected. That confused him, but then he felt the shiver run down his spine.
Intense pain hit him then as he felt a powerful attack slam into him from behind. 'Too fast to see her?' Although it was painful, he could think clearly as he was sent through the air towards a 'Vanessa Cromwell' standing before him.
To Matt, clearly, this Vanessa was a clone, so he didn't plan to defend himself. But as he approached this 'clone' at high speed from the earlier impact, he realized he had made a mistake.
'This isn't speed... It's an ability to control time!'
