This time, Blood Nether didn't lose her composure. On the contrary, as she pictured the fate she envisioned for Konrad, she couldn't help but smirk.
"I know that in your hands, the stability of the opponent's heart is a formidable tool. Therefore, I've been preparing against your venomous tongue. Try as you might, you won't achieve anything."
Blood Nether replied. Alas, the words merely pulled a snicker from Konrad's lips.
"Very well, show me what you got."
As the words left his lips, Konrad lowered his sword to give Blood Nether full access to his body. Seeing him bare his openings for her to exploit, it would be a lie to say Blood Nether didn't feel incensed. However, believing this to be another one of his ploys, she kept her cool, adopted her battle-stance, and freed her mind of all unnecessary thoughts.
With her focus reaching the acme, blood-red flames burst from her form alongside the swirling tendrils of red light. Putting her weight on her left, Blood Nether stomped her foot and hurtled at Konrad!
To the onlooker, even those hiding Primordial G.o.ds, that move was akin to teleportation. But in Konrad's eyes, it couldn't be slower. Landing at Konrad's right, Blood Nether swung her greatsword at his neck, drawing a blood flame arc as her blade gashed the very fabric of s.p.a.ce.
Still, Konrad didn't budge. But as the blade neared his neck, it just kept moving forward, never reaching its target despite the infinitely small distance separating them! Instantly, Blood Nether's eyes widened in disbelief!
"Profound Infiniteness Insight…"
She realized in a stupor and attempted to pull back her blade. Alas, the same process worked in reverse and no matter how fast she was, her move just kept extending! But as she wrestled with that infinite loop, the s.p.a.ce between Konrad and her compressed into a singular point that gathered all the energy and matter in the surroundings before spitting it out!
A white hole opened, generating a dazzling blast that hit Blood Nether point blank, sending her hurtle in the sky before cratering on the ground!
*Puh*
As her armored back crashed on the ground, she spurted blood!
"The conceit of ancient rulers is indeed astounding. Do you think I need my sword for you? Blood Nether, you are nothing more than a dish I out to consume. Painstakingly flavored to my taste due to your innate deficiencies.
