This time, Yvonne was genuinely astonished. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect Konrad to possess G.o.d-Meridians. And from their confrontation, she could sense three!
How did he obtain them?
As for Konrad, better than anyone, he understood the meaning of G.o.d Meridians. Therefore, he couldn't understand why those would appear on Yvonne's body.
"It is indeed what I feared. When I saw her Supreme Overlord Physique, I already doubted this, but now, I'm thoroughly convinced. That woman must have refined a large quant.i.ty of blood from a Divine Ascension expert from the Infernal Realm.
The Supreme Overlord Physique is the trademark of h.e.l.l's most dreadful family. In this world, only the founder of the Infernal Cult possessed this physique. She must have chanced on his corpse and refined his blood.
That is how she established her Supreme Foundation."
Konrad recalled that the Tower of Rebirth concealed the corpses of all the leaders of the Celestial and Infernal Realm throughout history. Was it possible that Yvonne went through the trials of the Tower of Rebirth and obtained such a chance?
But he wasn't given time to pursue his thoughts that Yvonne's voice echoed.
"You were right, I underestimated you."
There were only two sources of G.o.d Meridians in the world, the bodies of the Infernal Cult and Celestial Church's founders. If Konrad obtained his from them, it meant he went through the Tower of Rebirth and found the current location of their corpses.
However…
Although she'd only taken three steps back, Yvonne could feel her right arm slightly trembling. With the gap between their physiques, that was completely abnormal. And from his G.o.d-Meridians, she felt a degree of purity that completely surpa.s.sed hers.
Unless he was a peak stage Divine Transformation expert in disguise, the only explanation was that he was born with those meridians.
But how could that be? What would the son of a G.o.d be doing on this world?
Her mind overflowed with questions. However, she set them all aside to focus on the fight at hand.
Even the son of a G.o.d would have to kneel in front of her!
As Konrad steadied himself and activated his Origin Sight, Yvonne's eyes shone with unprecedented battle intent.
She stretched out her hands, summoning a longsword which she held within her two hands while adopting a fighting stance.
Within that stance, Konrad could see absolutely no flaw, and it was almost as if Yvonne became one with her sword, making it an extension of her body.
The vast killing intent coating her at all times exploded alongside that unparalleled aura of martial excellence as she shot toward Konrad. He dared not meet the blow head-on, using his full speed to step out of her range, but to no avail.
Wherever he went, she would greet him as if her peerless fighting instinct allowed her to predict his moves before he could make them.
Her sword came cras.h.i.+ng from the side, Konrad turned into three afterimages to evade the blow; however, Yvonne spotted the true among the fake and drove her sword through him!
Purple light burst from Konrad's body, and he turned into light particles, avoiding the blow, and reforming a few steps away.
Yvonne gave him no time to breathe. Before he could regain his foothold, she was again on him. Konrad used his light attribute, bloodline, physiques, and meridians to push his speed to the limit and evade another three blows.
However, he was constantly on the defensive, unable to find an opening to strike back. Yvonne's blows were masterful, her swordsmans.h.i.+p having long since reached the pinnacle. There was neither waste nor excesses, and each stroke aimed to destroy the opponent.
"At this rate, before I can establish her pattern, I will lie on the floor. Moreover, her style is ever changing. There is no definite pattern. "
Yvonne had yet to use an attribute, spell, or one of her physiques' special abilities. Yet, Konrad had already been pushed back to this level, even resorting to his light attribute. If things carried on in this way, it would be a miracle if he could take a hundred moves.
Konrad spun, summoned a war hammer, and rotated to crash his ma.s.sive weapon upon Yvonne's sword slash.
*CLANG*
His hammer blow met Yvonne's sword in a loud ringing noise, the sheer force of the collision pus.h.i.+ng them both back. However, Yvonne took seven steps back while Konrad only took two, and in a flash, he was upon her with his hammer raised for another smas.h.i.+ng blow.
The blow came from her left. Yvonne didn't evade, doing something Konrad had failed to expect. With her sword, she deflected his blow, making his swing go wide and letting his own strength turn against him as he lost balance.
Then…
*BAM*
