As the tension mounted, Superbia sprang into action and made the first move, spinning her spear across in her hand and hurling it up towards Luxuria with imnse force, a burst of wind erupting out of her hand and propelling the spear up with more force.
Luxuria quickly veered across to the right to evade it, grimacing slightly as a shallow cut appearing across her left bicep.
Her eyes then widened in alarm as Superbia created another spear to replace the first one and flung it up towards Luxuria with a rapid spin, the spear zipping through the air rapidly.
Luxuria ford a pair of Negative Energy blades and crossed them in front of herself, narrowly blocking the spear, which colliding against her shadowy blades and got deflected away with a sharp clang.
The force upon impact blew Luxuria’s arms back, before she gasped in pain as a third spear ca shooting straight up towards her, piercing through the middle of her stomach and bursting out the middle of her back.
So, yeah...while Superbia is the weakest of my Apostles in terms of Power Level, her high level of skill puts her well above both Luxuria and Invidia in terms of combat ability.
Both of them are extra cautious when they spar against her, I think having her instruct them should make for good training.
Initially, they both tried blasting her with volleys of Negative Energy, but her evasion and reflexes are really high level, and she’s great at defending with her spears too, so avoiding and blocking those attacks aren’t a real problem for her.
And unleashing barrages of blasts like that kick up a lost of dust, which Superbia makes great use of to attack them while she’s out of sight.
Her perception and instincts are amazing, she might the most skilled fighter I’ve ever co across.
Despite losing all the offensive Skills she possessed when she was alive, it doesn’t seem to have made much of a difference.
There’s the Javelin Skill, exclusive to Lancers, for instance, which involves throwing your spear at a target, it’s a Skill that sharpens accuracy and throwing power.
And even though she doesn’t have that Skill anymore, her throwing attacks with her spears generate a lot of force and she’s got pinpoint accuracy with them too.
Furthermore, the fact that she can generate an unlimited number of those spears so long as she’s got MP left, ans that she doesn’t have to be conservative with those throwing attacks.
If she had power on par with an X-Ace or Calamity Level Monster, she’s be absolutely unstoppable.
"," Pointed out Superbia, as Luxuria flew back down while staring at the hole in her stomach.
"," She responded with a huff.
"."
"," Complained Luxuria, as she flopped onto the grass with a huff.
"?" Responded Superbia in bemusent.
"," She sighed, as she glanced at Invidia.
"?!" He snapped indignantly.
"?"
"No idea. It’ll depend on several factors...how fast I can raise my stats to their upper limit, how soon we’ll be able to locate and capture Fenelza, and how effective Command will be on her.
I did use Command on her when I fought her on Earth, and she broke free before too long...but next ti, I’ll be a lot stronger than I was back then, so the effect will be stronger too.
But best not to get too far ahead of ourselves. Let’s just take it one day at a ti, it’ll all be for nothing if I get careless and end up getting captured myself instead," I responded with a wry smile.
"?" Luxuria sighed wistfully.
"Speaking of which, I wonder how people are going to react to you when we get back," I mused as I glanced at Superbia.
"," She laughed in response.
"I an, if you want to continue your work as Chairwoman, that’s fine by . I let these two out quite often, Luxuria is pretty addicted to digital entertainnt, and Invidia goes to hang out with so friends of his from ti to ti," I inford her, before adding as I glanced up at Acedia, "As for him, he prefers to stay dormant, so yeah."
"," She admitted sheepishly.
"Well, in that case, if there’s anything else you want to do whenever we have so downti, just let know."
