"Hey, Corey? You alright?" I called out in concern. A mont ago she had been cursing soone under her breath, and the next her face turned grim. I kept a patient eye on her, guessing it had sothing to do with mories from her past life.
Corey finally opened her eyes and looked at her boss. With a challenging glint, she said, "Wyatt, let’s fight. I bet I can defeat you in one move!"
"Looks like you’re doing alright. I’ll take my leave now. I have other matters that need my attention," I replied, turning to leave the card lab and ignoring her challenge.
I didn’t bla Corey for overestimating herself. After every major breakthrough, it was natural to feel like you were the strongest person in the whole damn world. I had felt it myself before, and there was no rush quite like it.
"Wyatt, don’t be scared," Corey taunted when she saw leaving without responding. "Don’t worry, I’ll go easy on you."
Shaking my head, I walked out of the card lab. Sure, there was no high like ascending to a new major realm, but that didn’t an you could go around challenging people. Fortunately for Corey, I was used to this kind of obnoxiousness from her. If it had been soone else, they would have definitely put her in her place.
Corey followed close behind while the white snake coiled around her wrist, raising its head to glare at my back with a sinister look. One word from its master and it would lunge at without hesitation.
I honestly didn’t know what to do with those two. One mont they were adorable, and the next they were downright obnoxious. I figured Corey hadn’t co out of inheriting her past mories completely unscathed this ti either.
Or maybe her past self had simply been soone too powerful and glorious, giving her the confidence to think she could clown from behind. Without turning around, I warned her, "Cut it out, Corey. It’s just the rush from ascending. It’ll wear off soon, so don’t do anything you’ll regret later."
"As if you’ve got what it takes to make regret it," Corey shot back, deliberately provoking her boss. She knew he wouldn’t accept her challenge unless she gave him a reason to. When it ca to her, he was always patient. It was both reassuring and annoying.
"Fine, you asked for it," I said, turning around.
But the mont I did, I felt Corey’s ntal field spread across . At the sa ti, several dangerous rule-power fluctuations shot toward the vital points of my body. I didn’t bother dodging them. Instead, I walked straight through.
The rule power sliced into a dozen pieces, but my celestial force imdiately pulled back together. In the next mont, I had my hand around her neck and slamd her to the floor before she could react.
anwhile, the sinister white snake only glared at . Lil’ Baem made no move to protect her mommy or attack , clearly restrained by her mother’s command.
"That was a neat trick, cutting at the cellular level," I said, still holding her by the neck. "But I’ve long since learned how to suppress that. Now, are you satisfied?"
I stared into Corey’s eyes, only to realize she was getting excited. Before I knew it, the hand gripping her neck slowly began to disintegrate. Taking advantage of the mont, she kicked off, rolled away, and sprang back onto her feet with a quick sorsault.
"Far from it," she said with a grin. "Let’s take this sowhere more spacious."
"No need for that. I’ve already won," I said. "I can’t believe you didn’t notice, even after inheriting your past life’s ntal field. It’s an excellent sensory field with all kinds of versatile applications."
I kept talking while Corey stared at in confusion. Then her expression suddenly shifted to shock as she realized what had happened. My blood plague had already spread through her body, paralyzing it and taking her titled demon core hostage.
I wasn’t afraid of going a little overboard with her. She possessed the average mastery in Blood Rebirth aning of the Blood Rule and had recently awakened the Deathless Soul trait. As long as her titled demon core remained intact and there was little bit of blood, she would recover no matter how badly I damaged her body. Her mind, however, was a different matter.
"Oh yeah? Watch prove you wrong," Corey shouted. She imdiately used Conjoin on the blood plague infesting her body and even on the energy binding her titled demon core. The unstable fusion caused the plague to collapse and disintegrate inside her.
With the paralysis gone, she straightened up and walked toward the exit, remarking cooly, "Follow . Today I’ll show you that I’ve finally surpassed you."
"Hahaha, surpassing ? So that’s what this is about?" I laughed, finally understanding why Corey had been so headstrong about challenging . "Honey, get ready to learn what despair tastes like."
With that, I activated the special move I had been preparing for the new Three Mischief, "Double Celestial Domain: Limitless Celestial & Celestial Blood Fate."
In an instant, Corey, her baby snake, and I were pulled into a point in space that stretched infinitely in every direction. At the sa ti, it was reinforced by Celestial Blood Fate, flooding the domain with power and turning the entire space a deep crimson red.
I imdiately used Celestial Blood Fate to plunder everything she had, her prowess, soul energy, physique, rules, every damn thing. Within the Double Celestial Domain, she was reduced to nothing more than a mortal, helplessly suspended in the endlessly stretched crimson space aimlessly, with no power to move about, let alone fight .
I appeared before her and staring into her eyes, I asked, "Had enough?"
