"Whoosh!"
The piercing chill descended like a heavenly river, freezing the atmosphere at the very mont it sliced through, leaving a stunning trail of ice crystals in its wake.
Wielding the Inheritance Sword that carried such a chill and trailing ice crystals, Charity struck with a swift motion, aiming at Reiger, who was retreating and holding "Kiloton" by the collar.
This sword strike was beautiful.
This sword strike was powerful too.
With her waist-length ice-blue hair swaying, and eyes of the sa hue filled with resolute determination, Charity charged at Reiger without hesitation, delivering a strike that embodied her entire fighting spirit.
The breathtaking slash seed capable of freezing the entire world, both beautiful and dangerous.
Regrettably, in the face of such a magnificent strike, Reiger’s heart remained untouched by any combat fervor.
"Snap!"
In an instant, Reiger snapped his fingers.
"Swish!"
The mont the snap resounded, Reiger and Charity’s positions instantly swapped, from facing each other to having their backs turned.
"Boom!"
Charity’s stunning sword strike fell, unleashing waves of cold, causing a flurry of ice blossoms to bloom mid-air.
However, the strike predictably missed.
"...!"
With the missed strike and her position swapped, Charity’s eyes showed a slight tremor, yet her actions did not falter.
Relying on instinct, she turned without seeing Reiger clearly and had already swung her second strike, once again sending ice crystals and chilling air slicing through the sky.
But by this ti, Reiger had already turned around, reaching out towards the approaching Inheritance Sword and its frigid onslaught.
"Boom!"
A grand display of ice blossoms blood once more, crafting a realm of ice and snow high under the moonlit sky, with moonlight cascading down, ice particles drifting within it, creating an enchanting spectacle.
Yet at the heart of this grand icy display, Charity’s expression involuntarily changed.
Before her, Reiger was not only unhard but also completely unfazed by the chill and ice; instead, it was as if an invisible barrier enveloped him, keeping the chill and ice several centiters away.
The hand he extended collided with the blade of Charity’s resolute Inheritance Sword, unhard.
A closer look revealed that between Reiger’s palm and the blade of the Inheritance Sword, there was similarly a gap of several centiters.
It was this gap that Charity, no matter what, could not overco, as if it was not rely a short distance but a vast chasm.
"Is it enough?" Reiger asked indifferently, "If so, then leave while I still have not changed my mind, as far as possible."
With "Kiloton" in hand, Reiger no longer worried about obtaining the Sanctuary’s information and naturally did not want to be entangled with Charity further.
The grudge between him and Charity was not deep, and since the other party was valued by Yanifet, as long as things did not go too far, Reiger did not plan on doing anything.
So, Reiger bounced Charity’s Inheritance Sword away, just as he had ntioned before, not intending to engage in a sword fight with her.
Who would have thought, Charity did not let go but instead charged towards Reiger again, her pupils sharp and focused.
"Snap!"
Reiger snapped his fingers, activating the [Unjust Ga] spell, swapping their positions again to face away from each other.
Without a word, Charity suddenly turned and continued her charge towards Reiger.
In response, Reiger kept snapping his fingers, continuously activating the [Unjust Ga] spell, swapping their positions each ti, rendering Charity’s pursuits aningless.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...
Repeated position swaps.
Repeated instantaneous relocations.
Reiger and Charity kept flickering mid-air, their figures never intersecting.
Every ti Charity rushed towards Reiger, he would invoke the power of the [Unjust Ga], changing their positions from facing to back-to-back, turning her charge into a forward sprint away from him.
Even so, Charity was unwilling to give up, attempting again and again to approach Reiger, turning around each ti but to no avail.
Every ti... every ti... every ti...
Charity could only ever see Reiger’s back; whenever she tried to charge, the snapping sound would imdiately change their positions, causing that figure in her vision to disappear only to reappear behind her.
In this way, Reiger silently expressed refusal, always presenting his back, keeping a distance that even Charity’s proactive closeness could only result in this outco.
This gradually replaced the chill in Charity’s eyes with frustration; the usual coldness was no longer present as she bit her lip, a sight that evoked more sympathy than interest.
Charity also attempted long-range attacks, slashing to release a stream of icy currents, freezing everything, creating a world of ice and snow, but whether it was cold air or ice, none could approach Reiger; it seed that as they got closer, a distance beyond infinite still separated them, unable to reach or touch him.
Even as Charity, with her extraordinary intuition, began to grasp the rhythm of [Unjust Ga] activation, swiftly turning and charging backwards before Reiger could activate the spell, hoping this way she could reach him imdiately after the position swap, she sadly realized each ti she did so, Reiger could always halt his spell in ti, leaving her efforts fruitless.
