Chapter 333 Pink Lightning

A confrontation with Taylor was something Pearl was really looking forward to avoiding throughout her stay at Phoenix academy but it turns out her luck had already run out before she began to try.

The last time she had a confrontation with Taylor, it didn't end so well for the both of them and she didn't want something like that to happen again.

"Come on Taylor, we don't have to do this," Pearl said.

"Of course, we have to," Taylor said, moving closer to them as the pink sparks in her hands were getting brighter and wilder. "Last time I was so close to finally punishing you until that hotheaded friend of yours showed up but now she's not here with you is she."

'Now I know why she didn't want to go into the girls' dormitory area.' Luis thought slowly moving backward with Pearl as Taylor approached them.

'It was one person after all.' Lena said.

"There are other ways to settle things, Taylor," Pearl said, still trying to calm her down.

"I know but this way is the most satisfying of them all," Taylor said. "I am going to enjoy pounding you and your new boyfriend."

Luis knew she wasn't joking about that as he had read his mind to try and find out the reason why she hated Pearl but only she had in mind was beating the hell out of Tammy right now.

She quickly shot out a stream of pink lightning towards them but Pearl quickly blasted it with a water blast to take it out before it could get to them.

"Ummmm... quick question, what does that pink lightning do?" Luis asked, summoning his flaming sword.

"Apart from being very painful it also reduces the quality of your ability by some percentage with each hit," Pearl said. "The only thing you have to worry about is the pain, do not allow yourself to get hit by that thing."

She used another water blast to prevent another stream of pink lightning from hitting them before quickly sending out a water-blade slash towards Taylor.

[ Instant quest received ]

[ Defeat your friend's opponent before she achieves her goal ]

[ Quest rewards ]

[ ??? ]

[ ??? ]

[ ??? ]

'Wow, and her goal is beating Pearl up or even killing her.' Luis thought as he rolled out of the way before a stream of pink lightning could hit him.

Taylor may have said that beating up both Luis and Pearl was going to be fun but it was clear that her main target was Pearl as she wasn't even paying much attention to Luis.

'Mystery rewards means the rewards have to be something good.' The Angel thought as he equipped his anti-gravity boots and raced towards Taylor with them.

He got closer and tried to slash down on her with his sword but he saw him coming as she summoned her sword right on time and used it to block it before blasting the Angel back with a stream of pink lightning.

[ -20 HP ]

[ Your abilities have dropped power by 10% ]

[ Debuff will last for twenty minutes ]

"Owww." Luis groaned after crashing on the floor a little distance away from Taylor.

"Luis!" Pearl screamed as she turned back to Taylor with her eyes filled with anger now.

"Oh, I see, all I needed to do to get you angry was hurt your little boyfriend," Taylor said with a smirk on her face.

"You want a fight, Taylor? Then I'm going to give it to you." Pearl said as three large bubbles of water rose over her.

She didn't even wait for a second after forming the bubbles as she began to send large water blades toward Taylor.

'When did she learn that one.' Taylor thought. The bubble attacks were something she had never seen Pearl do before.

She wasn't fidgeting though as she did flips and jumps to block the blades and smashed the more difficult ones with her sword.

Pearl on the other hand knew that it was only a matter of time before she began to get overwhelmed as she began to send multiple water blades from all three bubbles at the same time and now it was getting really hard for Taylor to keep up.

[ Your abilities have dropped power by 10% ]

[ Debuff will last for twenty minutes ]

'What's the point when I'm not even going to use any of them?' Luis thought as he got up from the floor.

He had thought about running through the lightning and taking out Taylor like he took out Jaren but there was something about the pink lightning that seemed off to him.

Jaren's lightning wasn't that heavy when it hit him, the only thing that pushed him back when it hit him was that little force that came with it and the zapping effect of the lightning.

That was the reason why he was able to run through the lightning but he doubted that would work against Taylor's pink lightning as getting hit by the lightning was very heavy and also extremely painful just like Pearl said.

'I don't think you would need to think of a way to beat her because Pearl is doing a good job.' Lena said.

'Yeah but I have to be the one to get the last hit.' Luis replied.

'Then wait for the right moment and go for it.' Lena said.

Multiple blades being thrown at her at full speed at the same time was really too much for her to handle as she had gotten hit with two large blades on her thigh and on her shoulder and both areas were beginning to bleed now as she fell to her knees.

"I don't want to hurt you, Taylor, I don't want to do this," Pearl said as she had stopped firing the blades and allowed what was left of the bubbles to turn into water and fall on her hair.

Luis wanted to rush in at that moment and get the last hit but he had stopped after moving a few distances as soon as he had heard what Pearl was saying.

"That's funny," Taylor said with a chuckle. "You say you don't want to hurt me but you've done it emotionally and now you're doing it physically."

"You are not seeing things from my point of view Taylor, I really don't want to hurt you," Pearl said.

"Well, it's a shame you don't want to," Taylor said as she quickly pulled out both blades from her thigh and shoulder and quickly sent two lightning bolts flying towards Pearl.

Luis expected something like that to happen as he quickly equipped his Katana blades, rushed to the middle of the two, and used them to block the lightning bolts.

The gauge on both blades quickly filled up as the Angel quickly pointed them at the sender.

Since it was only two forms of attack equally absorbed by both blades, the blades shot out two forms of large pink energy which went straight to Taylor and hit her and since the attack was slightly increased, it was able to do its trick.

The Angel looked at her for a while before slowly turning to Pearl who looked like she had been holding her breath for quite a while now.

"Do you mind telling me why she hates you so much?" He asked.

"Right after you tell me how those Katanas are in your hands right now." She said, finally catching her breath.

My apologies for not being able to update yesterday, I was down with a serious fever and it was really bad because I also had a graduation to deal with but I thank God I'm getting better now.
