Chapter 55 - 55 (Stalemate?)

*steps* *steps* *steps*

The noises of footsteps reverberating about on the front. Added in with the crisp sounds of the dirt below.

Footed on with those slender legs of hers.

White like a jade... long and also curvy at the same time.

The fine ŀuster of the bright illumination from above. Bathing the land with its vitality. Power and might... what comes next before this planetary existence?.

*steps* *steps* *steps*

*Halted!*

The noises finally receded with a full halt.

At that... it was a loud and yet silent thud on the ground below.

Zooming about towards the peerless face of a woman. Swaying red hair on the back and an enormous amount of whirling energy encircling her.

Smiles of forbearance and also playfulness on her face. As she glanced indifferently towards the individual in front of her.

Her arms crossed with her hair growing longer and longer... accompanied with the sizzling noises of the red energy. Similar to that of electric sparks noises.

" Your mask is quite a special one huh?... it didn't break under my punch. Interesting... "

She slowly said...

And with that...

The figure before her could only remain silent under the invisible oppression emitted by her.

Not knowing what will happen next.

As for escape? No. He doubted it as a feasible idea.

' A strong physical power and also a corroding energy effect?... what type of spell is this?'

He silently thought inside with his eyes peering forward.

He noticed it already.

His energy was slowly eroding into nothingness even though it was still a little amount of it.

Though over time it might be a very huge problem. Since he bȧrėly could suppress 50% of this corroding effect.

' Can't do it with a simple means... I need to play the big card already '

His thoughts were running inside. Like a missile rotating around his brain.

And it didn't take long since his thoughts ran at such an incredible speed.

*tick!*

*BOOM!*

His energy directly rampaged on the outside as the ground below caved under into a crater. Dust flying around with his hair swaying under the influence of the gust.

"Hoo?... you finally want to play it seriously?"

Saya smiled as she was glancing at him.

The symbols inside her eyes gradually fluctuated from side to side as eventually, it altered into a blade-like one from above. Similar to that of a snake.

" I am no fool in terms of strategy. Judging by your energy. You are not the owner of that body... "

"You are a monster inside the human body... and I am quite surprised that your physical strength was brought over to the human body alongside your energy... "

*swoosh!*

*swoosh!*

And suddenly...

The wind raged above his palm as two ball-like energy finally appeared.

On both sides with two different colors. Floating an inch away from touching his skin below.

One of blue and the other of purple.

Twirling and rotating at such a terrific speed as the wind generated by it whacked around the area like a hurricane.

Rubbles and dirt drifted about into the surrounding with both of their clothes fluttering against it.

The earth began to tremble as the buildings all around them started to sway uncontrollably.

" So then... what will you do about it, human?"

Saya asked curiously. Seemingly to be interested in his so-called "plan".

Just so you know. Hiro himself doesn't know how the system operated his energy into Saya's body. All he knows was that the system are meant to serve every purpose that he asked for.

For example. If Hiro asked for an energy replacement after he had depleted all of his energy. Naturally, the system will comply though it will cost evolution points in exchange for it.

Back to the scene...

The dark fluttering hair and the cold-looking mask with a bloodstain on the edges. Looking over to the woman before him as he stood still under the raging wind.

Hearing her words...

"Naturally to defeat you in your advantage... Your strength is your weakness"

The masked man responded. Though within Saya ears, It sounded a bit ridiculous...

" Hahahaha!... defeat me in my advantage?. hahahahah!. Is this a joke?"

Defeating her of her advantage?. What kind of logic is that?.

But what Hiro doesn't know was that this logic has its power concept. Namely (Law sovereignty concept).

A concept of power that could rival the existing law of this world. Time, space, essence, and even creation.

Though what the masked man was currently using was a weaker version of it. A weaker version of a thousand times from the original one.

*clicked*

"Enough talking crap. Come at me already... "

She finally stepped forth to the front with one step ahead.

Cracking her neck slightly with those bones clicking noises... as she swung around her arms effortlessly. Seemingly to exercise her arms by doing so, that is...

"Humph! arrogant!"

*Boom!*

The masked man snorted as his figure flickered from the spot. Leaving behind a group of afterimages as he bulleted forward...

The spot where he was standing before cracked to pieces as the dust blew around from his terrible speed.

Rushing ahead towards Saya with those two energy balls inside his palm.

Glimpsing this...

"Hahaha come!"

*Swoosh!*

Saya chopped her left hand to the side as in the next moments the masked man figure could be seen emerging out of thin air before her very eyes.

And visible enough to her visions. Behind him, there could be discerned a group of after images trailing from his prior spot.

" Hahaha, such speed!"

*swoosh!*

She snickered yet again with her hands pivoted forward like a blade.

And with those two hands of his..., the masked man thrusted down those two energy balls towards her.

The time seemed to be decompressed a thousand times slower...

With the dust and rubbles flying around. Their gazes greeted each other as their hair crazily fluttered behind.

And finally...

Their attack connected...

*BOOM!*

A heavenly roar exploded from the clash. The wind blistered from behind as the buildings and also the whole 10km area was rolled upside down.

Layered against each other with those sizzling noises echoing about all over the medium.

" Wonderful!... I can feel that you are using a different power from energy spells!"

Saya said with her gaze peering forward.

And his face under the mask filled with panic after hearing her remarks.

' Bad... her energy essence can compete with law sovereignty?. That could only mean her energy is based on law already!'

He secretly thought with their hands conflicting against each other in between. Grazing against the texture of those energies as Saya grinned mockingly under the battle.

" It seems this new plan of yours has a little flaw, no?"

*Sizzles* *Sizzles* *Sizzles*

*Clash!*

He retracted his hand as he jumped back a couple of meters away.

Saya was still standing there without even budging... stretched her hand to the side with the visible smokes lingering from it.

" Flaws coexist in everything inside this world. Naturally, it isn't much of a thought behind it"

he retorted...

"But then... your flaws and my flaws are different... "

He continued with a confident look.

"How so?... "

Saya asked back with an expressionless expression. Bridging her arm as she played along with the masked man's plan.

" You are inside a human body that possessed conflicting energy. No matter how hard you tried to squeeze a mountain inside a cup. It will naturally break no matter how flexible it is... "

" And Your point is?... "

"My point is that... I will push that human body of yours!!! to its limit!"

*SWOOSH!*

Zapped.

His body shot forward like a cannonball. Both hands wrapped in a large twirling disk with his mask filled with green lines covering it.

His body flashed before her...

Punching downward with his right fist as his muscles tightened in blue veins.

*BOOM!*

Saya parried with her arms crossed.

Pushed downward into the ground with her face crammed with smiles of joy.

"Hahaha, how long has it been! the feelings of being able to perceive adrenaline as a human!!!..."

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

*Trembles* *Trembles* *Trembles*

Both of them traded fist after fist towards each other. And by each clash of their collision... the earth quivered tremendously with their footing below caved in inch by inch.

Rocks and stones were being flung around like toys. Added in with the cracked earth all-around their battle area.

The streets were plowed down into the ground,

Building destroyed under the raging wind and trees being uprooted one by one towards the surrounding.

A horrible fight indeed.
