Chapter 390 Lurking Into The Mental Realm
"?! You! How did you manage to get here?!" A red-haired woman hissed at him upon his arrival. "This place should be my domain that allows no single soul to enter!" "Well, well, well. I did not expect that you are quite a beauty, but you are rather bad-tempered though." Probably due to the proximity between them, Melville's body, which was in her dragonic state, became visible, and her stunning appearance unfolded before his vision. Despite having a body that fit his preferences, Raphael maintained his composure and focused on inspecting the area without moving his head.
Nearby the position of Melville was where he found Edith's body, astral body, spiritual body, or something, being tied to a stake like an accused witch who was about to get burned. Since this was not the material world, no heartbeats had been detected since he arrived, but he was certain that she was somewhat alive. "Answer me, you puny human!" "I was not tasked to answer your questions. Well, then, in this plane, I'll make sure I will have you leave her body," Raphael said as he was brandishing his black sword. "Ha! Try it if you can!" She dared him as she cloaked herself with Purple Lightning to greatly enhance her speed, reflexes, and thought, and so did Raphael. Melville dashed toward Raphael as soon as she conjured her blades and aimed them at his vitals. Switching to the sword made Raphael move faster, and he was able to react in time in order to parry one dagger and then simultaneously block the other one. "Death by a Thousand Cuts!" "Thousand Slice!"
Clink! Clink! Clink!
They exchanged blades for a few seconds before Melville unleashed her technique, but Raphael countered it. Countless sparks temporarily illuminated the dark abyss, and once the techniques were finished, they stepped back in unison to provide distance for their next moves. Raphael went on offense and lunged forward at a high speed while performing Level 7: Fatality Thrust. Melville reacted to it by blocking his sword with Dagger Art Level 4: Cross Blade, the impact pushed her back by several inches. While struggling to maintain her form, Raphael used Instantaneous Movement to teleport himself into the air behind her. Raphael then conjured a Foothold and used it to plunge himself into her. His blade glowed gold before he performed his divine art. "Flash Strike." "?! Orbiting Blades!" Clink!!!
Instantly realizing the danger, Melville instinctively cast a Level 3 Divine Art technique. In less than a split second, her daggers quickly slipped off her hands and revolved around her once before automatically intercepting Raphael's ebony blade. The collision of three blades that traveled dozens, not hundreds, times faster than the speed of sound produced the most explosive shockwave throughout their entire fight. The shockwave was so intense that both of them were blasted away from their spot for dozens of meters, causing them to tumble over and over again on the surface. "Ugh..." Almost immediately, they picked up their weapons and got themselves on their own two feet. The shockwave inflicted a significant amount of damage on their bodies and tattered their gear, but they were still in condition to extend the fight. Little did they know, their next moves would be the final battle to decide the winner of this one-on-one war.
