BXBX NOVEL 134 Chapter 134
The speed at which they moved was beyond what any human could even imagine. It was just like seeing a flickering image that only appeared in one position for a tenth of a second before disappearing and reappearing in another location almost instantly.
Scarlett was not capable of following their silhouette but she was able to rely on her senses to fight. So, without any hesitation, she ignited a fire ember in her hand and pointed it in the direction she predicted it would appear from.
Then, she fueled that flame and blasted it, creating a strong flame wave the size of her body.
The flame flew a few tens of meters and then dissipated without hitting anything.
*SWISH*
Almost at the same time, the Nightingale member appeared behind her with the katana making an arc in the sky to slice her horizontally.
*Cling*
Scarlett didn't even think about turning to face them since it was basically lethal. So, she grabbed her sword and put it behind her back.
The clinging sound of the two swords clashing violently like two tidal waves echoed in the streets.
Then, Scarlett jumped in the air with a backflip and threw multiple fireballs at them.
*Swish* *Swish* *Swish*
The balls kept hitting the street as they followed the person's
trace, leaving behind charcoal black spots.
*ZZZZ*
As she landed on the ground, she heard the sound of electricity coming from ahead of her. When she looked up, she found the other person charging a lightning attack in their hand as they charged at her quickly.
She was already aware that this person was a lightning element user. They were quite rare since this element was very strong.
It was one of the closest elements in terms of power to the lost elements, just falling short because, in the long run, it can't evolve much in contrast to the lost elements that could evolve constantly and create new things for the user to try.
The attack got charged completely in a matter of moments before it was blasted towards her.
"Fuck." Scarlett cursed as she jumped in the air.
The lightning attack hit the spot where she stood previously and created a hole in the ground.
'I have to end this quickly.' Scarlett thought to herself.
Keeping this fight for long is very disadvantageous to her for many reasons. The main being Acht who can't stay in that ambulance for long. It was prepared to hold him in there for a few hours at most. She still had a lot of time but she didn't want to play her cards like that.
So, she pulled out her sword and touched the blade with her hand, tracing its shiny steel slowly. Her hand turned bright red as she left a trace of flame on the blade.
Then, that trace of flames grew bigger and bigger, covering the whole sword in a matter of seconds.
"Haaaaaahhhhhh!!" She shouted as she aimed at her enemy with her sword.
*BOOOOOOMMM*
The moment her sword made the impact, a hexagon-like chain of flames dispersed around her, creating even more destructive power that rendered the street into an inferno of death.
She then stood up in the middle of this sea of flames with her cold gaze. She looked like a goddess of fire standing in the middle of her own domain.
"They dodged it. Fuck." she muttered quietly.
She looked around her, searching for the enemy. They probably slipped through the waves of flame that were still raging around and burning whatever they found in their way.
Meanwhile, Leislet, who was not that far away, was also having a deadly fight of her own. The other member of Nightingale who seemed to be using some kind of illusion element. They kept appearing and vanishing like mist. Whether it was walls, streets, or even a lightbulb, they could attack from any angle at any time.
"Hah…This is not good." She muttered as she avoided another hit from a dagger that they threw at her from somewhere.
She couldn't detect their presence until they appeared so that gave her a small margin of time to react properly to it.
So, she had no other choice but to keep dodging and dodging until she found an opportunity to attack too.
"You really can't attack what you can't see. So why the long wait?" The person asked again from an eerily close distance to her. They kept doing that continuously for the past few minutes. It was very effective to slowly destroy the spirit of the opponent and make them lose the will to fight by being constantly close to them.
This, however, didn't seem to be working against Leislet who kept herself calm and waited for her opportunity to attack him like a patient predator.
*BOOOOOMMMM*
The moment the explosion caused by the attack coming from Scarlett's sword reached her ear, she unconsciously looked there. This was her biggest mistake so far.
*Swish*
"Ugh!!!!" A strong pain in her back followed by a loud impact made her mind stop working for a second.
She had been sent flying and hit a rough surface that knocked the breath out of her body.
"See, any small mistakes could make you bear huge consequences. Isn't this something you should be aware of, Mrs. Hunter Association Président?"
Then, they grabbed her head and threw her again, hitting another wall strongly.
The attacks didn't stop, as they sent a barrage of daggers after Leislet.
'This should be the end. Time to finish her off.' The enemy thought as they gazed at the other fight happening.
It seemed that their companion was still struggling with Scarlett since the fight was still ongoing. They could see from not so far away, the hexagons made out of fire that kept appearing and disappearing every now and then. It didn't need a genius to know who was at an advantage.
Suddenly, before they could even look back. A blinding light assaulted their eyes as they felt a burning pain take over their senses.
"See, any small mistakes could make you bear huge consequences. Isn't this something you should be aware of, Mr. Nightingale member?" Leislet repeated the same words for them with clear mockery in her tone.
