Chapter 260: A Dangerous End.

"What is this...?" Keele stared at Dina's appearance after acknowledging Sol's warning.

"What exactly did she do to achieve such power?" She wondered, but a moment later her vision was upside down and the ground was as far as the clouds once were, she blinked several times in shock trying to absorb the information to get a grip but before she could get her racing mind under control she felt an invisible force take hold of her and drag her towards the ground again.

"Focus, Keele!" She snapped at herself righting her body as she collided into the ground with so much force her battlesuit's legs shredded up to her thighs and the ground around her liquified into magma and then exploded outwards.

"What the hell?" Keele staggered forward and leapt out of the pool before the magma could touch her, but she was immediately met with a hand descending towards her face when Dina blocked her path.

"Did he mean take her down or survive for nineteen minutes!?" Keele spun out of Dina's reach and kicked her in her side gaining more speed as she leapt clean of the crater, but right at her side in the blink of an eye was Dina again, wordlessly pursuing her with pure determination and a rather static and unreadable expression.

"She's an entirely different being, what happened?" Keele arched and hit the brakes on her momentum causing Dina to race ahead before she turned and attacked again.

"I get the feeling that if any of her attacks connect, I'll die. Was I wrong to place my trust in Mr Vestic's hands?" The woman began questioning her decisions parrying Dina's hands away and spinning beneath her grab, kicking her in her chin and rolling out of the way, but without breaking stride Dina snapped downwards again and bit at her, almost taking a chunk of her leg in the process.

"She's gone wild!"

"Hraaaaah!" Dina's crimson irises flared up and she grabbed Keele's leg leaping into the air and spinning epically several times with her and then landing and slamming her into the ground so hard it sent cracks the size of fields in every direction, Keele, unable to bear the brunt of the attack screamed out in pain when she felt her leg muscles tearing beneath Dina's grasp, she flashed her leg desperately and thrashed spinning out of her clutches and kicking her in the side of her head with a roar, landing on her good leg and huffing.

Without the aid of her battlesuit, she wouldn't be able to heal herself, and the one who healed her the last time was her opponent, the woman accepted that this was a do-or-die situation and placed her leg on the ground again, taking a deep breath and falling into a stance through the pain of a severely bruised and torn leg.

"Seventeen minutes to go," Keele took a deep breath and released it as the shimmer from before appeared around her body again. "Come at me; come at me with everything you've got, you won't ever gain the upper hand again!" She straightened her fingers and went into an alternative stance almost taking the posture of a dancer. "I won't lose to you!"

"I never expected to win against someone that master intentionally put me up against," Dina finally broke her silence swinging her hand and causing a sudden change in the weather as the winds violently caught Keele and tossed her into the air, tornadoes began reaching for the ground and the land itself was being torn away from her powers taking root.

"I'm not stupid, he surrounds us with the strong because he wants to constantly test us, that's how he pushes us without getting directly involved," Dina raised her hands and opened them wide resulting in the annihilation of everything around her.

"Compared those of the past whom I have faced, your strength is laughable, until you are capable of besting them, I will not see you as a true opponent, you're merely a sandbag designed and delivered for me to test my wits against!" Dina dropped her hands and the atmosphere began screaming as everything came to a halt and her divine chaos began running rampant.

"Then I have no choice but to force you to see me as a threat!" Keele descended from the skies and punched just as she had done to shatter the moon, everything Dina had been cooking up til that point vanished in a massive gust of force that sent the mage tumbling uncontrollably while Keele closed down on her.

"You're relying on power beyond your control and you think you'll ever be my opponent!?" She leapt and landed in Dina's side only to dodge a second later when dinas hand swung at her cleaving and arc through the land around them as they both came to a stop.

"It won't work!" Keele slammed her hand into Dina's chest and flipped over her offensive strike kicking her across her shoulder and landing gracefully as the shimmer around her body became more distinct.

"This will be the hardest fifteen minutes you've ever experienced, Dina!" Keele exclaimed and then clenched both her fists and brought her elbows to her side.

"I don't need to butcher the innocent to become stronger than anyone else, I'm equipped with the greatest asset humanity has ever been blessed with!"

"Here it comes," Sol started paying keen attention.

"Hm?" Ikaris looked at him confused as did the others. Enjoy more content from m-v l'e|-NovelFire.net

"The utilisation of law like we've never seen before, Keele is the only one of her generation who figured out how to use the blessing granted to her by the high heavens and fate itself," he slightly chuckled as an excited grin crept across his face.

"Ah.... Haaaa!!" The clouds in the air created a circular ring as a massive tunnel of energy invaded Sol's collective bypassing his infinity and crashing into the woman creating a dome of flames and destruction that encompassed half of the planet in an instant and filled the skies with red and golden particles of energy Dina had never seen or felt before.

"LAW is my greatest weapon-"

"I don't need it, I am a Divine!"

The two of conflicting forces rushed in at each other and began trading blows rending the soil beneath them and ripping mountains apart as their fight mauled the very land it was happening on, what resembled a planet at first quickly became a barren red rock of molten death as their fight continued to raze mountains and evaporate the very oceans.

After a few minutes though with the two fighting on basically equal terms, Dina stopped and dodged Keele's last attack and then retreated several paces away, staring at her with a troubled expression; unlike herself, that couldn't force herself to get any stronger on account of her powers being so dangerous Keele was fine raising her strength, the clashed again and once more she felt like something was trying to rip her apart, and it was coming directly from the woman's fists.

"My time is almost up," Dina admitted and Keele stopped as well and retreated several steps. "I propose-"

"This fight will not end in a draw, Dina, either you fall, or I do," Keele objected when she saw what was apparently a smile on Dina's face.

"I don't want an unfair conclusion, I'm proposing one final move, a minute from now I won't be able to access this power, if I win before then you have to acknowledge divinity as superior..."

"And if you lose?"

"I will admit that LAW is humankind's greater ally."

"That sounds impossible to say for me," Sol spoke up. "But Keele's already right; LAW is undoubtedly the best thing that ever happened to them, I don't know why it happened and I doubt that the records of history have been kind to the losers of the war, I have to admit that LAW is something amazing, beyond divinity when used in the right hands such as hers," He nodded.

"I'll have to do thorough research, or at the very least try to get a grasp of it, according to Alpha it isn't impossible to learn LAW or utilize it, the fact that it just bypassed an infinity so easily is proof that it's not something that is purely human.

"Master..." Arla looked at Sol weirdly. "Are you going to use their only weapon against them?" She asked and Sol looked at her and shrugged.

"If that's what needs to happen then I absolutely will, we've met at most a Vatui woman who is almost as powerful as Ikaris, that Cecelia lady is broken, but General Flint is only the 100th captain, he's nowhere near the top of their echelon, I shudder to think of the people who occupy the top ten spots and just how powerful they are, for all we know they could all have power that can stop me without resistance, I've been thinking long and hard about such an enemy showing up..."

He watched the fight against Keele and Dina again as the two of them nodded, Dina taking the stance of his clockwork punch as mana circles appeared around her body and arm, and Keele going into an offensive start as the powers of LAW around her quickly vanished through absorption.
