Chapter 665 Soul Battle I (Agnes’ POV)

'I knew.'

**BOOOMMM!!!!!

Slamming through the roof of the high-rise building, and crashing through all twenty floors down into the ground was the frail-looking body of a teenage girl.

'I knew he had gotten stronger.'

A golden serpentine dragon smashed through the walls of the collapsing building and snapped her up in its jaws, biting down on her body as it carried her out at supersonic speed all while charging up energy within its maw.

'I could see the power his soul held; I could see he had many more skills.'

***BOOOOOMMMM!!!!!

A deafening explosion, a cacophony of destructive force, echoed through the empty city as the serpentine dragon released a blast of power that exploded upon contact with her body, erupting in a spectacular display of magic energy.

The shockwaves rippled through the urban landscape, shattering high-rise buildings like delicate glass sculptures. The city's towering edifices succumbed to the whims of this fantastical force, disintegrating into cascading showers of shimmering debris.

'But to think it was to this extent!!'

In a mesmerizing display of prismatic flame explosions, vivid hues of magical energy engulfed the skyline, refracting in a dazzling array of colours.

Such was the sight I was greeted with as I felt my body crash to the ground, beaten and battered all over.

A person appeared in my field of view, and though he was very high up in the sky, I could perceive his appearance as clear as day.

Since this was my Soul Realm, I could give myself normal 'sight', allowing me to see how he looked without having to read his soul's metadata.

Black hair with a few white highlights, a handsome face that I was sure made girls all over swoon when graced with a smile, and striking grey eyes that resembled my own.

His whole body was coated in a thin layer of crimson gold light, and this light caused the surrounding space to distort.

'He's damaging my soul realm with his mere presence...it's interfering with my control.'

"So even an explosion with the force of a nuclear weapon couldn't take you out, huh? Well, that's expected, considering you're a grandmaster as well.

I need something more concentrated to kill you."

The moment those words reached my ears, my instincts screamed at me to get away from where I was.

I obeyed them, forcing my wounded body up and rolling out of the way, just in time to avoid the dozen or so holes that were suddenly blasted open on the ground where I was a second ago.

The shockwaves knocked me aside and sent me flying, but I exerted my control over the surrounding space and stabilized my body before landing on my feet.

"Burst Cannon + Concealment and you still detected them? This ability to see souls that you have is quite annoying."

**BAMM!!

He dropped to the ground in the same spot he had just rained down 'something' on, kicking up a cloud of dust and dirt in the process.

"?!"

I immediately leapt into the air the moment I saw his Soul glow slightly, avoiding the condensed beam of prismatic flames that were released from a portal right in front of him.

'I cannot sense his skill activations. The only thing that lets me know he's using a skill is the fact that I can see the glow of the runes on his soul.'

Deciding that grounding myself wasn't exactly the best idea now, I stayed airborne and kept my eyes trained on him while noting my current energy levels.

He easily neutralized my spells and I had no time to conjure up another one.

My body slammed into his, and almost immediately, I felt his arm wrap around my waist and pull my body even closer to him as if he were trying to glue us together.

'Ah, his chest is...firm...'

*BA-THUMP!

'Huh?'

Although I was confused by this sudden strange sensation that filled me when I felt my chest press up against his, I did not forget the fact that currently, Evan was trying to kill me.

So, I deployed multiple barriers at my back to block the dagger which he was about to use and stab me in the heart, though that did little other than slow him down.

'He seems to have some sort of skill that lets him penetrate barriers...'

In the same moment I thought that, I quickly cast a dual lightning magic spell, with rings of white light manifesting around my wrists and crackling white lightning bursting forth from my palms.

**BOOMM!!

I sent one lightning strike to hit the dagger and knock it out of his hands, while the other was fired towards him to knock his body off me. His vice-like grip on me seemed to have loosened up when the first bolt hit his wrist and the dagger, so I was able to easily escape and warp myself a good distance away.

"That feeling...I liked it...OW!"

A sudden surge of pain snapped me out of my daze and I looked down to see that parts of my clothes had been 'destroyed' and I was bleeding on my skin.

'He did pull me close while having that destructive aura around him. It makes sense I took more damage.'

I quickly healed myself with Soul Power, 'recreating' my 'clothes' as well in that same moment. Since both Evan and I were here with Spiritual Bodies, our 'clothes' could be very easily manipulated like this.

His clothes appeared to have changed from what he was wearing outside as well, and he was now dressed in a black dress shirt tucked into similarly coloured suit trousers.

Mine remained the same, but they not only served to cover my 'body', but as an armour to protect me from his destructive energy.

'That isn't working out well though...'

Evan jumped out of the cloud of dust he created when he crashed to the ground, before charging straight at me with his sword in hand.

In response, I crafted a blade of soul power and law essence, kicking off the ground and leaping up to meet him.
