As Alex's body regenerated once more, he turned around quickly, trying to see if it was really who he thought it was.
Far away, next to the corpse of a giant bird with bones on its outer body, Death stood perfectly still. Her black hair flowed down the side of her head, completely unkempt, and her face was white with no tan whatsoever.
It was unclear from the distance what sort of clothes she was even wearing. Her entire body was covered in blood that had hardened over the many years, making it look like she had black armor.
Her arms weren't covered, however, showing the white skin again. And in her right hand, she held a black sword.
Alex barely saw the sword flicker when his head flew off once again.
It took him a mont to realize he had died again. When he ca back, he was in bated breaths. A chill went up his spine as he failed to even understand when she had attacked him at all.
He couldn't see at all.
There was but just a single flicker, and—
He was cut once again.
As he ca back again a mont later, breathing even harder. "Wait!" he shouted. "I'm not—"
He died again.
When Alex regenerated again, his body had fallen off the side of the stacked corpse, onto another beast corpse a step lower. He quickly got up, but before he could turn around, he was cut away once again.
He regenerated once more, and even without turning, he began shouting. "I'm not an enemy. Don't attack . I'm not—"
Words couldn't stop Death.
As Alex ca back to life again, a portion of his Qi had been spent already. At this rate, he could maybe die 30 more tis. After that, he wouldn't co back to life so easily.
'Does she not understand ?' Alex thought. 'Or is she just not listening?'
He had barely moved when he was cut once again.
The next ti Alex ca back to life, he remained perfectly still. However, that didn't work either. The mont he was back to life, it was almost as if she knew he was alive again and killed him imdiately.
The next ti Alex ca back to life, he chose to fight. He reached for his storage bag—
He died.
When he ca back to life, Alex imdiately brought out the sword. At the sa ti, he dashed away from where he was in an attempt to dodge the attack.
A slash landed where he was previously, carving the corpse up in perfect half.
Alex turned around, ready to attack, only to be cut the mont he faced Death. When he ca back to life, he moved instantly. Given how far away Death was, he couldn't possibly attack her from where he was.
He had to get close enough so that she would be under his sphere of influence. He was only halfway to her when Alex died again.
Alex tried 3 tis to approach her during which he died. Each ti he ca back to life, he got one step closer.
This close, he could see more of Death.
Death had no emotions. There was no anger or bloodlust or any other feelings that could be read on her face that could be making her do what she was doing. Her eyes seed vacant, simply looking at things and never taking them in.
He sensed no killing intent from her. To her, she was just crushing an ant beneath her feet, no reason to think about it.
Her hand moved imperceptibly fast and Alex was cut into 10 different pieces in a single strike.
When Alex ca back to life again, he knew he had to give it his all. Instantly, blood armor ford around him. At the sa ti, he reached for the power deep within his Spiritual Sea again.
The irregular rhythm took over his heartbeat and soon, redness covered his body.
Alex spent no second in a single place. He moved, going around Death to try and catch her from the back. As he did, Alex sensed sothing happening around him.
Before he could even tell what it was that was happening, his body was suddenly cut into a hundred different pieces.
When Alex ca back to life, the blood techniques had vanished. The blood armor was destroyed and the blood devil had retreated.
He was on his knees, trying to even comprehend how he had been attacked when she couldn't even see him, when he died once again.
After coming back to life, Alex saw that Death had turned toward him. This ti, he saw her sword make a simple swing.
He imdiately put all of his power into his sword, retaliating at the incoming attack with the greatest attack he could make.
True Immolation Strike
To his horror, it did nothing.
The razor-thin attack was cut in half along the long way, instantly bursting out into a blaze. And the cut continued on, cutting Alex perfectly in half.
He died, unable to stop her attack even the tiniest bit.
After so many deaths, Alex understood that this woman was not soone he could even consider fighting. Victory had never been a possibility at all.
This woman wasn't a human at all. She was a monster.
Death personified.
He understood now why people always seed to fear the re word used to describe her. Why his own skin and hair scared so many. The re possibility that he was her had been enough for people to be prejudiced against him.
The only thing he could do now was try and run away.
Alex instantly dashed away, but the sword cut reached him.
When he ca back, he turned invisible to try and sneak away, and yet the sword cut reached him again.
When he ca back again, he tried to teleport away, to dodge any attack that may co toward him.
He was cut into a hundred pieces.
Dead. Dead. Dead.
No matter what Alex attempted to do, his only fate was Death.
