The fight hadn't lasted too long, but it was enough time for many people to come and try to help Vanessa, who seemed to be having trouble.
Matt then used his frozen time a few more times and appeared in a building near where Vanessa had fallen.
When his ability was cut out, dozens of bodies fell dead all over the place.
Most of them granted him power, so his base power was increasing. But his current battle power remained the same.
When Matt stood over that building, he frowned.
'Killing her with a sword is very difficult. Attacks given in Frozen Time come with a delay and even though it's milliseconds of delay, she manages to use that time to avoid serious damage. Also, her body is extremely tough.' He frowned and then felt movement, so he quickly jumped.
Several flashes then occurred in the building where he was, and several explosions caused the entire building to explode.
'I almost couldn't perceive it.' He did not hesitate to freeze time once again and launch himself at her at a great speed.
But at that moment, some of his attacks missed the exact spot, as she managed to break his ability before doing so.
Both of them were knocked back to two different sides. And Matt sighed. 'I can't close the power gap with frozen time, huh.'
After all, his frozen time used mental power mixed with his vampiric power. Not being able to use it in full glory, she could break it whenever she tried.
Still, she couldn't break it completely.
When they were pushed back to opposite sides, they stared at each other.
The one with the most visible wounds was Vanessa. Blood ran down her face, and a small drop of blood trickled down her neck. She had avoided a fatal blow, but that also surprised her.
"You are a monster." She said softly. She didn't know how she should act right now, but acknowledging her opponent was something she didn't mind doing.
Matt smiled a little. "Well, you seem to have noticed. That's right, I'm not only talented, I also know things you don't know and can't do. I can even counter almost everything about you. It's a pity our power difference is so great. Otherwise, I think you'd be in two parts by now." He said, scoffing a little.
But right now, his reasonable thoughts and calm mind allowed him to judge the situation clearly at all times. It was a remarkable change in him, though somehow he hadn't realized it.
He deactivated his sword domain and stared at the people before him. He could feel that they all outnumbered him in power by more than double. It was an absurd difference, one that his domain alone should be able to counter.
Still, he wouldn't use it this time.
"Oh, you give up, vampire?" Vanessa asked in surprise, seeing the reduction in Matt's power. While she was surprised that he had a way to increase his power twice as much, she was more surprised that he had stopped using that ability.
And he smiled.
"Give up? Such a word is not written in my books, Human. I just want to try one more thing before I go." He said, smiling softly.
That surprised Vanessa, but one of the Grand Sorcerers scoffed before she could speak up to question him.
"Leave? Hahahahahaha, well, let me see how a measly vampire like you can leave here today."
Vanessa shot him a furious look after hearing him say this, which caused him to shut up. Then she looked at Matt once more.
"If you show me something exciting, I can choose to have you as my slave. So, if you want to keep your life, you'd better try a little harder." She smiled after saying this and prepared to strike.
Matt shrugged his shoulders. "Hahaha, you're not worthy of me being your slave, human woman. I'll just show you what it means to have a power capable of freezing reality itself. So come, attack me with everything you have." He said, smiling softly as he waved his fingers at Vanessa to provoke her.
In power, he is at a disadvantage, even if he were to use his sword domain. But the 200 meters of sword mastery is annoying; every now and then, he gets out of it and has to activate it again.
Having that 80,000 power was not so good for him then. His attacks were limited anyway, and his range even more so.
But, if he used his Icy Curse, such a situation would not be seen. He would be at a greater disadvantage around power, but there is a clear reality in this world.
Sometimes, abilities can break a power disadvantage.
Matt, being the biggest believer that a weak person can kill a strong person, provided the circumstances are met, how could he not show it?
This was the time to use, for the first time in this world, his Icy Curse in its base state, but also the most important state of it. His Reality Freeze.
