Chapter 889: Black Sparks
Matilda lunged forth, cracking the ground as her father yelled, "STOP!" Arad flashed to his side, dragging him out of the way.
Zank smiled, "So you're coming for me!" He shouted, pulling his claws back and clenching a fist. "Fine, I'll put you back in your place." He threw his fist at her, aiming for the face.
Matilda lifted her shield with a passive and emotionless face, deflecting the punch aside as she swung her claws, aiming to rip his side open.
Zank dodged to the side and swung a kick at Matilda's thighs, "Get down!"
Matilda lifted her knee and lowered her elbow to block the kick, but due to the weight difference, she ended up getting thrown away with a blast.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zank looked at her as she got thrown over a house, "You're lighter than I expected, but to think you blocked that. I heard you were a failure, what was that all about?" He jumped after her, lunging into the air, and leaped over the house.
Zank landed in a garden and looked around, "My little mate, where did you go? Hiding won't save you." He looked around, sniffing the air but couldn't detect her. "Strange."
Keeping her position and the wind's direction in mind, Matilda was prowling through the vegetation of the garden, keeping her eyes firmly on Zank, looking for an opportunity to attack.
The moment Zank took a step, Matilda lunged at his back, swinging her claw at the back of his neck. Due to the large strength difference, she can't hold back and is going for the kill.
Zank's eyes quickly turned back, "So you were there?" He stepped aside and avoided her strike with ease. Almost immediately, he swung his foot at her stomach.
Matilda lifted her shield to block, but due to her already accelerating forward, this attack would be painful. Zank's foot smacked into her shield and sent her flying back through a window, coughing blood.
Zank stopped and started looking at his foot, weirded out. "What?" For some reason, he felt like he kicked a pillow or something, not a hard shield. And then from the side of his eyes, he noticed Arad standing at the side of the garden, watching with glowing purple eyes.
Not having that much time, Zank ignored him and rushed after, Matilda, thinking that he was just watching. But what he didn't know is that Arad did jump between them and cushioned the impact with his palm, and retreated back to his standing spot without them even seeing him. Compared to them, he was that fast.
Zank lunged into the house and looked around, "A direct flow? We're on the northern part of the village after all." The house had two windows facing each other going from one side to the other so the northern breeze could pass through the house, bringing fresh air. Matilda seems to have flown into the house through one window and escaped through the second.
Zank coughed blood as he got thrown away with a thunderclap.
Serba gasped as he saw Zank's massive body flying through the air, and Zara looked with a gaping mouth, he could see her mother in her.
Zank grabbed onto a tree with his claws and glared back at Matilda with a growl, "You little girl! Hiding all of that magic." He jumped back at her immediately, this time intending to
give her a bloody beating.
Matilda charged at him, teleporting left and right with sparks of lightning roaring from her claws. He landed on the ground and swung his claw at her while throwing a kick to the back.
As Matilda teleported behind him, she lifted her arm and blocked his kick, jolting him with the black lightning at the same time as he cracked her forearm.
Matilda landed on a tree, her left hand had become useless, she couldn't even move it. But the same could be said for Zank, his left foot had burned to the bones, and he couldn't even put it
on the ground.
She clenched her fist and the black lightning flashed from her right arm as she got ready for one last punch. Zank leaned forward and stood on all three, ready for a charge. He'll rush her as fast as he could, and finish the fight in the coming attack.
As the two jumped at each other, Arad caught Matilda's fist in his palm, the black lightning didn't even phase him. On the other side, a tall, large-breasted woman with pure white hair and nine fluffy tails stood, blocking Zank's attack with her fan.
"I've seen enough." Hati said with a smile, "I can't have you kill him." She slowly looked at Arad. "He's quite important, you know." In the blink of an eye, she smacked Zank in the face with her fan and sent him flying into the forest.
"Aron?!" Matilda gasped, unable to believe how fast Arad was, and how he didn't seem to be affected by her black lightning.
Arad turned toward Hati and glared down at her as she looked up at him. "I was going to kill him anyway." He said, the magic rushing from his body far surpassing anything that Matilda
ever felt in her life, and the same came rushing out of Hati.
At that moment, Matilda knew, that Arad and Hati were in their own league.
