I dodge a sword strike as my arm regenerates, realizing that without my divine weapon the disadvantage will be imnse — Elysia’s sword is strong, far stronger than I expected, and it cuts through my Mana armor as easily as if it were a thin film of paper.
So I turn the [rcurial Hunter] into a large blade to match my ten-ter size. Elysia looks so small compared to , but that’s not sothing I can underestimate.
Our blades collide, generating a wave of magic so intense that the "environnt" cracks around them, releasing bolts of pure black and pure white while the light hitting my eyes stings a little.
’The sky elent?’ I don’t know. I’ve never seen the elent that makes up those white bolts, but everything the white bolts touch disintegrates into dust instantly.
"[Divine Devastator]" She leaps back, aiming at , and uses magic. Three hollow white circles appear behind her and fire three white energy beams. I aim at her and fire a completely dark red beam of the Doom elent.
Unlike what I expected, the attacks cancel each other out, so I use Ti Zero speed by marking the area around Elysia as Point B and keeping it constantly in motion. Ti "stops" as I circle around her.
But it lasts only a fraction of a mont, and Elysia moves within the stopped ti. Her body slowly gains mobility, catching by surprise. I attempt a quick attack, but she blocks with her sword and fires a beam of light at the giant eye behind , burning it.
"Tsk..." I spend so magic to regenerate the eye. Using Point B as sothing mutable, I keep shifting positions to maintain the stopped ti, but Elysia uses a strange magic that generates a large white flash, catching in the area of effect. I feel everything beginning to darken, so I stop moving in Ti Zero and everything returns to normal as ti moves forward.
"You think a novice like you can beat in ti magic? Don’t be so conceited," she says with anger, kicking in the stomach and launching far back. I barely defend against a downward vertical sword strike that would have split in half.
"It’s an insult that you think ti magic works against , especially one that stops ti!" She strikes directly at one of the fears I had about moving in Ti Zero — if I lost consciousness, I might never wake up inside stopped ti.
’I don’t feel the effects of that white flash anymore.’ It seems it only worked while ti was frozen. I nearly lost the battle instantly because of that.
’If Elysia tried to knock out, it probably ans it’s true. If I passed out inside Ti Zero, I’d never wake up again.’ When she charges at , I kick at her.
She tries to strike with her sword, but the [rcurial Hunter] extends down to my leg, forming a blade and colliding with hers. Taking advantage of the size difference, I lean fully forward and punch her, slamming her into the ground.
Imdiately, I start punching her with all four arms, unleashing an imnse flurry of blows until all four hands break, and she jumps up with a double flying kick to my chest, launching upward.
’No damage...’ No damage again. Only a faint golden glow emanates from her body. She flies up to try to impale . I begin to float and fire an imnse Doom-elent Mana beam, which she evades.
I aim at her, tracking her movent with my hand as the beam tries to hit. She spirals around the beam to close in, but I cancel it and throw a punch when she gets near. She uses her hands to withstand the impact and spins around my arm.
Then she uses so magic that makes my entire arm dissolve into particles of white light. She quickly swings her sword at the black spiral on my head, testing.
I twist my body, throwing her downward, and fire thousands of knives at her using the rcurial Hunter. She dodges everything, but I control their movent, driving the blades forward against her.
For now, we’re assessing each other’s strength. From this, I deduce that Elysia has a fighting style close to mine. Elysia uses barrier magic, stopping my blades by a very narrow margin as the tallic screech shows that her barrier is physical.
While she’s distracted by that, I create an enormous hundred-and-nine-ter axe. I bring the blade down violently toward her. She notices, and instead of retreating, she leans into a lying position in the air and turns the flat of her blade, gripping the hilt and the broad side of the sword as she lets the axe blade strike her weapon.
Initially, she’s pushed downward, but soon she stops my attack. For such a tiny little body, she’s far too strong.
PSSSHH
A kind of yellow laser is fired, piercing through my stomach near my chest instantly and creating a hole in my belly. The speed exceeded what my eyes could perceive.
My body regenerates quickly, and I create a wall with my divine weapon, defending against multiple shots as I hear the sound of impact against the weapon. I end up losing all visibility of Elysia, and she’s very quiet.
"!!!" I use Vital Matrix Unfolding to split my body into thousands of centiter-sized mini-Pandoras, narrowly dodging a strike from Elysia that I felt would have killed .
"...!?" Elysia looks at the many Pandoras before they all rge back into one and I throw a direct punch at her, launching her upward. I bring my four hands together and fire an imnse beam of darkness magic, hitting her head-on.
"You really are a grotesque aberration," she says as she reaches my front, charging through the beam with a slash of her sword. I dodge and form a spear, placing Violet inside the weapon to increase its strength.
"Oh, really? Thanks for the complint," I thank her with sarcasm, thrusting with the spear repeatedly and pressuring her while with another hand I create an axe and with another a sword. I attack skillfully with everything I can against her.
"[Stellar Collapse]" She uses magic against , creating a large sphere between us. The sphere expands, but before it grows too large, I advance and devour it, swallowing the sphere and grabbing Elysia by the arm.
CRACK
I squeeze her arm until it breaks, but she doesn’t even react, swinging her sword and making an extrely deep cut across my chest. The flesh on my chest writhes and twists violently, trying to regenerate.
’For now, the damage we’ve both taken is far too neutral, and the magic expenditure on both sides is more or less balanced too...’ I expected to be stronger than Elysia, but our power is more equal than I’d like.
"[Doom: I Sacrifice All Ambient Mana in Exchange for a 500-Tis Physical Boost]" As soon as I use the magic, all ambient Mana is completely erased. With that, only my Mana and Elysia’s Mana remain in the environnt.
"..." Elysia drops her sword and starts punching to et the punches I begin to throw at her. Our punches equalize, which catches off guard, because the force of each punch has increased by 500 tis, which shows she’s still holding back.
"Urgh." She’s hit hard and thrown backward as I advance with a kick. She grabs hold and spins , throwing down. My ten ters are unfortunately a disadvantage — because our strength is equal, my entire size just reduces the impact area.
Both our bodies are emitting a lot of Mana, a physical response to the stress of having such a strong enemy landing nonstop blows.
"..." She recovers and then stops a short distance away. She settles into a stance and tightens her fist with force. I realize what she’s about to do and also gather all my strength into my fist.
We both charge and collide again. Our punches don’t generate any impact, but the force of the blows makes us both stop completely in place, our bodies shuddering from the wave of Mana that distorts around us.
I pull my hand back in pain as she also retreats, shaking her hand in pain, and I see that her fingers have broken completely. The Magic that drips between her fingers in place of blood has a golden tone.
"You know, Pandora, I wonder why you were chosen as a goddess," Elysia says, pointing at . Hundreds of magic circles appear and are compressed practically touching one another.
’Is she serious? She’s so confident that she’s charging a slow spell even knowing I can attack her?...’
"Hahaha, you’re a very arrogant whore. Obviously your doubt is foolish. I am a perfect goddess," I say, pointing at her, not retreating or trying to stop her, forming a Doom Elent spell — not a Mana attack like always, but true magic.
A red and black magic circle appears in front of , charging the spell. Since there’s no more ambient Mana, my Mana and her Mana collide in a violent shock of energy release.
"Perfect goddess? What conceit. I’m just testing the waters here, and you will never be perfect. That word is entirely distant from a grotesque being like you."
"I’m just trying things out too. Don’t be so arrogant, pantyless slut." The waves of magic beco increasingly violent, nearly whipping at each other, which generates an unpleasant buzzing in the environnt.
She really isn’t wearing panties, but she doesn’t care about the insult, showing perfectly well that just as the fact that I’m naked doesn’t bother , her physical appearance also isn’t a valid distraction in combat.
"Perfect, then. Let’s see how you handle this, little monster. I’ll love hearing your screams of despair. An aberration like you shouldn’t be a goddess, and I’ll finally set the natural cycle of things right." Both my magic and hers are ready as we release the energy in an instantaneous discharge to begin the attack.
"We’ll see, Elysia. I’m the one who’ll watch you thrash and beg in despair," I say in a serious tone, activating the attack.
