A sea of blood splashed into the sky, and all she could do was stare in disbelief.
But even that seemed denied to her when she saw him ripped through the scene of blood, formed from her Clan Elder’s explosion, and then—
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
A shockwave erupted as space itself collapsed.
A fist covered in squirming white and purple veins slammed forward with heaven-shaking might toward her face.
Reflexively, she reacted, her four wings instantly winding around her figure.
CLAAAAAAAANNNG!
It was like iron clashing against iron, and Ryuk felt a terrifying rebounding force knock into him.
The recoil forced him three steps backward, but on the fourth step,
RIII—KABBOOOOOM!
The sound of space being ripped apart was drowned out by another explosion as Ryuk pierced forward and smashed out with his other fist.
It landed squarely in the center of the golden wings, causing them to give way instantly as Morgaine was blown backwards, her wings forcefully spreading open.
DIIIIIIIIIEEEEE!
A roar blasted out as golden veins popped out from beneath her skin.
Her hands gripped tight against the spear, and she forcefully took a step forward, the world sinking from her step, and then,
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!
The edge of the spear pierced forth in unruly might, bringing with it the power of successive overlapping black holes.
It appeared in an instant before Ryuk, immediately drowning the entire space around him in their power.
WHOOSH
BAAAAAAANNNNG!
Morgaine barely reacted to the sudden attack, placing her spear to the side of her ribs, just as a scaled slammed into her from the side, forcefully blowing her away from where she stood.
"Tch."
A groan left her lips from the force of the attack, and her eyes widened when she turned her head to the other side.
He was already there, spinning in the air with blinding speed before his legs lashed out once more with terrifying precision.
She blocked with her spear, but—
CREAAAAK!
The sound of cracks spreading through her hand’s bones reached her ears in disbelief.
’So much power,’ she thought, blown back towards where she was coming from.
His image flickered once, and she raised her head, sighting a purple phantom pillar of a leg slamming toward her from above.
"Dominare War God Art: Radiant Warden!"
Immediately, time slowed down to a screeching stop, the phantom leg halting in place.
Morgaine swerved her spear behind her, as the collapsing black holes converged over her weapon, completely enveloping it.
RIIIIIIIIIPPPP!
RIIIIIIIIPPPP!
RIIIIIIIIPPPP!
She slashed out three successive times toward the phantom legs.
The first strike hit the phantom but was immediately obliterated..
The second followed and managed to create crack marks all over the leg phantom, with the third finally blowing it apart, sending a mushroom of energy into the sky.
It cleared up a moment later, but her eyes widened in shock as she looked into the sky and found him nowhere to be seen.
Immediately, she tried to recoil her spear to her side in a guard, but was shocked speechless when she felt a tight hold, and her spear refused to budge.
Turning to its tip, there he was, his hands holding onto the end of her spear.
The black holes raging on the spear were snuffed out by the divine white flames that covered his hands.
"Let go..." she said, but all of a sudden, she was forcefully jerked forward with power, and she flew uncontrollably toward him.
Clenching his fist, the space around Ryuk’s arm exploded into nothing, his fist clenched tightly.
Hurricane and White flames danced, a furious might that collapsed the space into a gaping black hole, and when she arrived before him
—
DROOOOOONEEEE!
The deep, droning sound of space being forcefully compressed echoed as his fist smashed forward with incredible power.
Morgaine’s eyes bulged when the fist slammed precisely into her stomach.
’Again!?’ she cursed under bulging veins, as her blood flew out from both nose and mouth.
A second later, and she was blasted backward, tearing open a massive black hole, which she disappeared into.
In Ryuk’s hands rested the 15-meter-long Divine Spear, and a rift of dark suddenly appeared, to which he tossed the spear before resuming his steps forward.
A moment later, Morgaine was thrown out of the black hole, slamming into the ground and carving open an abyss.
She rose to her feet, but then—
BAAAAANG!
One of her knees dropped as she remained crouched to the ground.
BLEEERRRRRRGGGGGH!
Golden blood gushed out from her lips, her eyes thickened with golden veins all over.
"So... so heavy... ACCCK!"
She remained there hacking up blood, with her body convulsed, muscles locking and trembling as her stomach twisted inward, crushing her breath into a strangled wheeze.
Her vision turned blurry, but she barely felt the slight rustle before he grabbed at her neck, wrapping tightly.
She gripped his arm, her fingernails digging into his skin, but they were for naught.
She only left white harmless marks on his draconis scales,
She was raised high into the air by him, his burning purple eyes staring so intensely they seemed to look straight into her soul.
"What happened to that confident grin of yours?" he asked, as her teeth ground together in fiery hate.
"Why not call upon your pride to save you from me?"
SHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNG!
The sound of a katana being unsheathed suddenly rang out, and an arc of light flashed with devastating speed.
SPLAAATTTERRR!
Blood splattered into the air, a severed hand suddenly flying skyward.
Morgaine felt the hold on her neck release, and instantly she backed off, flying into the sky, but she had not flown far away, when
BAAAAAANG!
She felt her back colliding against something, and she turned her neck to find an unbelievable scene,
Just behind her, both legs resting on her shoulders and stopping her in her tracks, was none other than the grinning demon, whose eyes burned with a sickening madness.
His right hand reached forward and grabbed the two left wings of hers.
The other hand, which she remembered having been severed earlier, instantly regenerated, grabbed onto the other two right wings.
"You’re nothing!"
