Chapter 250 Gaining Control Over The Situation (Part 1)
"Amanda, you okay now?" The dean asked with her in his embrace. It had been around an hour since he came back to the city and ever since then, he had not moved.
He only had Amanda in his arms and kept on checking her condition. He was very worried for her. After all, he loved her from the depths of his heart. She was his only weakness and the only one for whom he would be ready to sacrifice everything. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶
"I am good," She answered. Her voice was still weak and her face was pale from the blood loss but the wounds had healed very well.
After all, she was still connected to the will of the world and it provided her with enough energy to bring her back to life from life-threatening wounds. So what was some full-powered attack by a Celestial?
"Good, you ready to have a check on the city?" Asked the dean.
"Why not? Let's see what they have been up to in our absence," Speaking, Amanda grabbed onto the dean's shoulder and smiled.
Seeing her reaction, the dean knew very well what she needed and he complied. Grabbing her tightly, he unfurled his wings and flew into the air as both love birds looked down at the city and what condition it was in.
Meanwhile,
Near the shore,
Silent Sword looked at the sea princess with indifference. His breathing was slightly unstable as beads of sweat had formed on his forehead.
In front of her, the sea princess also heaved slightly. Her condition wasn't any better and she even had more wounds than Silent Sword but even that was a big achievement for her.
After all, the sea princess was only in the later stages of the Calamity Realm while Silent Sword was someone in the Celestial Realm and had been for a long time.
"Time to end this," The princess spoke. Spitting a mouthful of blood on the ground, she raised her trident and tapped it on the ground.
Pressing her hand over her chest, she closed her eyes and chanted slightly,
"O' king of the waters. Allow me to use your sacred power and defeat this heathen. Allow me to follow your mission," As she chanted, the air around her changed.
A blue pendant on her neck gave off a dreamy glow as it floated in the air. The glow intensified as the pendant slowly merged into the princess's chest.
The princess opened her eyes. This time, an additional vigor shone in them as a blueish dreamy glint shone in her eyes.
Her trident also glowed. As if acknowledging her strength, it hummed in joy and flew by her side. Shiny patterns appeared all over her skin and faint glossy scales appeared as well.
"Now feel the power of a God," She spoke. Her voice was amplified and seemed to contain the authority of a king that had ruled for centuries. Just by listening to her speak, Silent Sword knew that she was unrelenting and won't give up.
"Guess I will have to show you my strength as well," He muttered and sheathed his sword.
Then, raising both of his hands into the air, he spoke out loudly,
"Rise, my domain. The world of swords, show them all the authority of a sword," He spoke and released his domain.
[World Of Swords],
A huge wave of energy spread out as a sharp aura was formed around the area it spread to. The sharpness was to the extent that the others present over there felt a knife to their throats and if they moved even an inch, they would be cut to pieces.
This was the horror of Silent Sword's domain which was completely based on swords and their authority.
Looking at the princess, he spoke calmly,
"Now this is the power of a real Celestial. Not the strength borrowed by someone else,"
"Hmph… how dare you condemn the King Of Waters. I will kill you!" The princess shouted back in anger. Her voice reached far and side as raging waves were formed in the sea.
"Hehe… it will be fun," Silent Sword chuckled with a smile on his face. He raised his hand as a sword appeared.
The sword around his waist had disappeared as it had merged with the domain. As for the sword that had appeared in his hand, it was a legendary sword "The Excalibur"
However, this sword was vastly different from the myths that had spread far and wide. This wasn't a sword for the just and upright but one with a semi-conscious state of its own.
And its consciousness was not good rather it was evil. It fought for blood, death, and for perfection. Only a seasoned warrior with the finesse could master this sword and use it to its potential fully.
"Zhinggg," A sword arc was released as the air trembled. Like a flash of light, the arc appeared in front of the sea princess.
Seeing the arc already upon her, the sea princess only had enough time to bring the trident in front of her.
"Clanggg," The arc was too much for the trident to bear. The sea princess flew in the air as she spewed out blood as well. Her consciousness started to fade as a light glow shone over her body.
It brought a strange coldness to her mind as her consciousness recovered.
"He is strong," She thought as a random attack from the swordsman in front of her had brought her so close to her knees.
"Humans really have gotten stronger ever since the advent of that dimension," She thought again as she called for her trident. Doing a backflip while in the air, she struck the trident on the ground as she stabilized herself.
Her body jerked from the inertia but it didn't matter to her. The natural armor over her was strong enough. Sliding across the ground, she stared at Silent Sword and smiled.
Her fighting spirit had flared up now and even if she died, she would die fighting with all her strength.
She raised her trident as the water behind her surged. Waves formed on the shore as she controlled the water around her.
"Heyaaa," She shouted out loud and slashed the trident at Silent Sword. A huge water blade was formed as it flew at Silent Sword.
"Hmph…" Silent Sword harrumphed. To a Swords Master like him, the water blade was just another form of a sword slash. He raised his hand and waved as the water blade was neutralized in the air.
"Hehe," A slight chuckle sounded in his ear as Silent Sword's eyes widened. He knew that he had felled for the princess's trick.
He had only raised his sword when the three-pronged trident was stabbed at him.
"Clanckk… Squelchh," Some of it was blocked but a small part of it pierced through his stomach.
Using the domain, he brought around the sword intent and stopped the trident from going any deeper. His figure flickered as he appeared a few meters away. He looked at the sea princess and raised his sword,
"Sword Intent:- Fusion Strike,"
He murmured and slashed his sword. From up to down and then sideways, he did a flurry of slashes as his figure kept on flickering. He seemed to have turned into a phantom as his body kept on appearing all over the domain.
Suddenly, he appeared before the sea princess and slashed. Multiple slashes were thrown at her as she tried to stop the attacks.
A couple of slashes were blocked but it was a whole flurry. The slashes kept on pouring on her as multiple cuts opened on her body. Blood trickled down her skin as she slowly retreated and then used the water around her to form a protective barrier.
She wheezed for air as she looked at the monster in front of her. Silent Sword still had a slight smile on his face as he pointed his finger at her and challenged her to attack him.
"F*cking Moron!!" She raged in anger at his provocation and then raised the trident. Her arms glowed a sapphire light as a ball of water appeared over the trident.
Pointing at Silent Sword, she released dozens of water balls at him as the balls flew at him at light speed.
This was the energy of a celestial backing the attack as it accelerated the seemingly simple water balls into a deadly attack.
Putting his sword in front of him, Silent Sword tried to block the attack. However, even for him; the attack was too much. The balls were numerous and too larger to block as each ball he blocked pushed him backwards.
"Have some more," The sea princess grinned as she slashed the trident yet again and released another flurry. Though, this time; it wasn't balls of water but water bullets that tore holes through Silent Sword.
After the attack ended, both of them looked at each other. Their bodies were bloodied and they had hatred burning in their eyes. The battle would only end when one of them died or accepted defeat.
