Chapter 167: Nadia Alneith [2]
****
As Amon kept his gaze focused on Nadia, he saw the silver glitter turn into a crimson and red shade.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
And in the next second, a wave of water and a ball of fire shot out toward him.
But he didn't back off.
Even if he wanted to, the stair was the only place to back off to.
Summoning his nodachi, he gripped it in his hand and shot forward.
A wave of blood also appeared behind him, which was quickly manipulated into multiple threads that looped around his arm.
Coming before the ball of fire, he did a quick slash at the ball, slicing it in half.
Clenching his hand, he weaved his blood threads into a web of blood that collided with the wave of water.
Passing through the wave of water, his eyes widened as he saw a sword of fire inches away from him.
Twisting his torso, he quickly reflected the sword using his nodachi.
But it wasn't over just yet as he saw a barrage of tridents heading his way.
Amon clicked his tongue.
Manifesting blood swords as well, he launched them forward.
He knew what Nadia was trying to do.
She was using more and more mana to make more projectiles.
This would in turn make him use the same amount of mana.
And in terms of a mana battle, Amon would undoubtedly lose.
At least as long as kept using blood.
She was still stronger than him in terms of rank.
But there was still a way to win. A guaranteed win.
He just needed to get close.
Manifesting blood chains around his hand, Amon wasted no time launching himself forward again.
There wasn't much distance left between them now.
He just needed one hit.
One single hit.
But unlike last time, Nadia seemed to have learned her lesson from his fight with Cleenah as she leaped backward.
Amon grits his teeth.
A wave of fire hit him from the side, burning his bodysuit a little.
Clenching his fist, he manifested two more blood swords, throwing them at Nadia.
But they were quickly sliced by two more water tridents.
Fortunately, Amon had expected that from the start.
The true purpose of the swords was.
Splash-!
They exploded into blood, blocking his view from Nadia.
'Now!'
Shooting his threads forward, Amon looped them around two of his blood swords in the air.
He pulled himself up in the air, away from the ground.
And it worked as Nadia was left confused when the blood fell, not showing Amon there anymore.
He couldn't fail and get pushed back after coming so far now.
Letting go of his nodachi, he looped multiple threads around his fingers before shooting
them through the flames.
Nadia, who was confused after just getting out of the ability, was taken aback as threads
looped around her body.
With full force, Amon pulled her toward him while shooting forward as well.
The threads dug into her suit, making blood trickle down her arms and waist.
Gritting her teeth, she put her arms to flame, burning the threads.
But it was enough.
The threads had served their purpose of pulling him close to him.
But Nadia didn't back off as well, as if she had expected it.
She smirked as she clenched her hand before opening it.
A glittering ball of pure energy was on top of her palm.
It was tiny but ready to burst like an explosion.
And immediately, the ball started to turn crimson.
Amon's expression, however, didn't change.
Rather, he smirked back.
"You think I haven't been through something like this before?" He asked.
Of course, he had been.
How could he forget Michael's final move in the FULLDIVE?
And it was much more power-packed than this as well.
But this time, he was prepared.
He brought back his arm, covering it in a solid sheet of blood.
And then, he smiled again.
He knew Nadia was much prepared this time but he only needed a subtle moment.
And it worked as her eyes suddenly flashed pink again, making her lose focus.
But due to her losing focus, the energy ball in her hand wavered, and almost lost control.
'Now!' Amon clenched his hand and immediately the destructive energy-packed ball in her
hand wavered.
And then, disappeared into nothingness.
Nadia's eyes widened but Amon gave her no time as he manipulated her blood again,
snapping her face hard to the right.
Before in the next second, landing a clean punch to the side of her face, coated in a sheen of
blood.
CRACK~! SPLATTER~!
The sound of blood splashing and bones cracking was heard as Nadia shot across the stadium,
crashing into the wall, and leaving rings of air in her wake.
Blood gushed out of her mouth and she lost unconsciousness, leaving the crowd in the
railings completely silent again.
Just like before...
Amon had won, once again, with a single hit.
