Chapter 181 - Spike Vs. Sandra

"Where the hell did that girl disappear to?! I can't allow her to escape from this place if it's the last thing I do-" Wilson began to speak only to get knocked out with a single attack by Rosie.

Right after Rosie had gotten close enough to Wilson, she used a secret art know as "flashing kicks". Using it, Rosie disappeared from Wilson before using her legs midair to kick away his golden helmet and make direct contact with Wilson's head. As such, Rosie had brought a swift end to her battle with the king of the kingdom of war hammers, Wilson.

…

Right as Rosie had brought her battle with Wilson to a close, Spike finally arrived at his own destination being a large kingdom that looked magnificent but Spike knew that he had a job to take care of and was not there to sight see. As such, Spike crash landed into the castle of the respective kingdom's castle he was sent into just like Rosie and Liam had done.

…

"I've been awaiting you, Julius!" Sandra said out loud before the dust had even cleared as she was so sure that Julius himself would come to fight her. However instead, another body had come to fight in his place.

"Huh? Who are you supposed to be?" Sandra said in a tone which made it seem like she didn't care in the least as to what Spike was planning as in her eyes he was just an insect.

"I see you're the type to underestimate their opponent and overestimate their own strength. I guess I'll just have to demonstrate the power gap between us," said Spike in a calm tone as he cast his first secret art.

<<Secret Art: Divine blade>>

A large spatial gate in the sky opened as it began to allow a large blade which was easily the length of the castle began to fall on the exact spot where Sandra was standing.

Even though Sandra knew that Spike had cast a secret art, she didn't bother to do anything about it as she was still inside the castle and didn't know what kind of threat was actually approaching her.

"Anyway, I'm getting quite bored of this so I think I'll just end the battle right now. Say your final words you ignorant kid," said Sandra as she prepared to use her golden katana with engravings that gleamed the colour pink.

<<Special Trait: Flower Garden>>

Rose petals began to rain all around Spike as they created an illusion to which Sandra could disappear without Spike ever realizing it.

"A special trait huh? I guess monster core use has evolved to the point where weapons could incorporate the monster cores without making them very visible. Soon, monster cores might even become invisible and you won't know that someone has them in their weapons. Although we're not at the point yet so I'll take advantage of the situation to defeat her," Spike said to himself.

"From what it seems like, I'm starting to panic which means that it's a special trait that controls the phycological behaviours of the target. Knowing that, I only have one way to escape from it," said Spike as he closed his eyes.

"Secret Art: Afterimage Barrage"

Using this secret art, Spike was able to move so fast that they were multiple afterimages of him which caused Sandra to hav an impossible chance of actually making contact with Spike's body.

"Dammit! I hate secret art users! That's why I was so excited to go to war with that stupid meditation army and wipe their people from the face of this planet!" Sandra complained as she brought an end to her weapon's special trait.

Seeing as Sandra's petals stopped falling from all directions, Spike stopped with his secret art as well as he prepared to head towards Sandra at the max speed he could travel at.

"Oh I see. I think I have a way to defeat him after all," said Sandra with a sinister grin as she plunged his katana into the ground.

"What the hell is she doing? Does she want to die that badly? I guess I'll grant her the wish she wants so badly," said Spike as he prepares to slice of Sandra's head with his bare hand. However right before his attack landed, Sandra let out a smirk before activating the special trait of her weapon once again.

<<Special Trait: Flower Garden>>

"You might be thinking that my special trait is only one which allows me to hide myself in the shadows but that's only a side effect of my blade's actual special trait. Now watch as you get enveloped by my petal tornado!" Sandra yelled out as a late tornado which started at where his blade was plunged into the ground began to swallow Spike as it left him he took to counter attack or escape.

The petal tornado which was in front of him not only lifted Spike from the ground so that he couldn't move but also slashed him dozens of times so that we would slowly be weakened.

After a few minutes of torturing Spike, Sandra finally brought a stop to her flower petal tornado as e finally allowed the dizzy and exhausted Spike to fall on the ground for the first time in a while.

"How nice. Look at you now. You're at the mercy of my hands. Although I truly feel bad as for a moment I believed that you had a shot at defeating me because you outsmarted me. I guess it's even so long since I used the full capabilities of my blade that I nearly forgot that I had it in the first place," said Sandra as she slowly walked towards Spike.

"I guess this is how you'll go out. You should be honoured that I allowed you to survive so that I could kill you with my very own hands. That's more than a moron like you deserves," said Sandra with an evil smirk.

"Aww, what I shame. You had nearly killed me," said Spike with a smirk of his own.

"Now, FALL!"
