V3-C12: Aqua’s Duel She would not allow that man to brutalize Azure so badly. His power reeked of godly filth despite using mana. I need to test if he is really using divinity or if it was mere inspiration . He stood in opposition to Aqua. A former enemy, yet a reluctant ally. However, even now, he was a slave of divinity, much like many mortals, but one thing separated him. She frowned, and her fists clenched. A spark of flame flickered from her hand. “Begin!” The mists overtook the arena, and they grew in density. Unlike with Azure, Fang had not intended to hold back against Aqua. After all the glare she gave him, he would have been dead if he had done so. “[Crescent Moon Barrage]!” The spell rushed toward Aqua, yet it was as slow as a child attempting to throw rocks at an adult. Without a single movement, the barrage dispersed before ever making a hit; however, it was never meant to hit. Fang had used the moment to appear behind and strike. [Midnight Reaper], The shadows coalesced into his hands and soon formed a purple glowing blade. He charged forward, yet instead of hitting soft Flesh, the world spun as he found himself flying into the arena’s ceiling. Aqua teleported above him and swung her hands together like a hammer into his spine, sending him hurdling toward the ground. However, unlike most who would crash into the ground, his body dispersed into dark mist and coalesced on the other side of the arena. The ground below him seemed to melt as a hand of earth materialized around him. His body struggled, yet the earth of Aqua’s Spell was far too tough. Instead of breaking out, he turned to shadows and escaped its grip. His eyes darted around the arena. While he had many abilities and techniques he could use, he could not foresee any way to even land a hit on Aqua. [True Dark], The sky darkened, and a pillar of darkness descended upon his opponent. He is not using divinity at all, even if it carries the taint. Good. She let the spell hit and disperse harmlessly against the [Temporal Barrier]. Her vision was obscured for a moment, yet the veil did not last long as she was barraged by tendrils of shadows that were as sharp as any blade. Yet they stood no chance against a [Temporal Barrier]. Golden Fang, despite being very skilled compared to most in the new world, still had no counters to any kind of time manipulation. After all, how would one hurt something that does not obey the flow of time? It was only the supreme God that was able to punch through it, and it was only due to his knowledge of time. The man before her knew he was outmatched; however, he also understood that Aqua had fully planned to beat him to a pulp to vent out her frustrations. She stood still on the sandy arena and let Fang dart around her; she had no openings for him; however, it was necessary to bait an opponent into a false entrance. Thus, she exposed her back and let her opponent charge forward. However, he materialized multiple meters ahead of her and took a defensive stance with his hands in front of his head. “Well, Lady Aqua. Color me impressed. I knew it would be hard even to scratch you, but for my spells not to even touch you, that is very impressive.” “I have no need for your praise.” She frowned and launched herself forward. Many would expect a caster not to get close and personal, and while it was true that it was not her specialty, she could hit hard enough to shatter mountains. Fang’s eyes widened in panic, [Sanctuary of 7th Moon]. Shadows condensed in front of him, forming an impenetrable shield of tangible black and silver. Aqua’s fist connected to it, and without any resistance, she passed through the barrier as if it were made of paper. Her fist connected with Fang’s face, sending him flying back. Every spectator grimaced at the gruesome scene as a trail of blood followed Fang’s body. Aqua disappeared in a flash and appeared just above Fang. She drop-kicked the man into the ground and landed on top of him. She grabbed him by the co
