Multiple trees crashed down, creating a pathway of hell as crystal spikes shot up into the sky from the force of the trees falling to the ground. Hana tried hard to find her feet on the ground, the trees acted like barriers to prevent the crystal spikes from impaling her. Sachiel moved quick, as if vanish-stepping 10 times in a second to clear the distance. Sachiel then appeared just meters above her, raising his leg up to kick her. Hana dodged, responding with the same amount of speed, grabbing Sachiel's face with her left hand and punching it with the other. Both were now exchanging kicks and punches while they were moving in ludicrous speeds. It looked like they were dodging and weaving while dealing successful hits but upon a closer look, it was Sachiel that was dealing successful hits. Hana's punches and kicks seemed to miss the angrier she got. How dare Sachiel? How dare he best someone that was free? How dare he make a mockery of someone who was free while he was a slave to his own curse? A pawn to Him, what seemingly all Soul-Wielders are. She was trying to prove that the path she took to become one of the strongest individuals in the entire galaxy without a Soul was the right one. She was trying to prove that living without a Soul is a freedom that not even Sachiel can comprehend. You can have no Soul, no Soul-Energy and yet become the strongest. Moving by your own will and not be limited by the symbiosis, a master-slave cohabitation that all Soul-Wielders have. That is free. That is freedom. Sachiel was the opposite. A prime example of this. But as the fight went on, Hana started to realize she was not the one who was dominating. It was him. Hana yelled in anger, dodging the next hit and appearing above him. Sachiel took notice of his fast and swung a side hand toward her, a slash projectile traveling through the air in a curved way. If it hit Hana, it would cut her in half. She heard a branch of a tree breaking, tapping the tree bark with her foot to confirm it was a tree and jumping from it to dodge the slash projectile. She landed on the ground, quickly launching forward towards Sachiel. "HM!" Sachiel moved his own leg forwards to eliminate her momentum, though did not expect Hana jumping above his kick. Hana kicked Sachiel in the face, forcing him to the ground for the second time. Hana then used that momentum to jump off of his face towards the sky, throwing a tree branch that she saw falling towards him in a long-range stabbing attempt. The tree branch was cut in half before it hit Sachiel. "What?" Hana was perplexed. It didn't sound like stabbing, more like something was cut. That's how she know the tree branch plan failed. She then deduced it was a Soul-Technique at work. She didn't really know if he was holding a Signature Weapon... Oh, the woes of being blind. .:. How many Soul-Techniques does he have in store? .:. She thought. .:. He was able to detect a tree branch falling and cut it in half mid-air while being on the ground! He couldn't possibly have more Soul-Techniques than Kaioshun does. That's impossible... Kaioshun has accrued so many Soul-Techniques that you couldn't even count... Or is it... .:. Hana's blind eyes widened in shock. .:. Sachiel's Soul is... not an ordinary Soul. .:. The realization dawned, chilling her more than the perpetual ice. .:. I see... I see how it is. It's just like how Kaioshun read it to me in the Library of the Souls... Kaioshun-Rymela, Sachiel Eria is a bigger problem than you think it is. .:. Hana then chuckled, backflipping on a tree bark and launching herself at Sachiel. Again, Hana was but an arm's length away from Sachiel. Sachiel lifted an arm, trying to punch Hana's face to force a concussion upon her. However, Hana ducked in the same margin of a second, grabbing his arm with her left hand while kicking his ankle with both her legs. As Sachiel lost his balance, she then twisted his arm, rolling him over to the ground and laying him on his back. Hana then kicked h
