Chapter 74 Overwhelming Strength!
Chapter 74 Overwhelming Strength!
Seeing that Tyrion had his saber raised, ready to slash down at any moment, he bellowed with all his might and charged at him again.
After catching her breath, Alicia likewise roared and dashed at him. Both of them knew that the battle had come to a head. Both of them combined could only barely hold their own against him. If either one of them were to be defeated beforehand, then the battle would have been over.
Tyrion had not expected Alicia to retain such a level of combat strength after suffering such mortal injuries.
Neither did he expect such a strong will to fight from Ligna.
Although neither of them posed much of a threat to him, their bodies were strong and they could ignore severe injuries and retain their strength even after greviously injured.
But then again, wasn't it better like this?
Unfathomably, excitement and exhilaration arose in Tyrion's heart.
It had been too long since he could rip and kill like this. For far too long he had been wary of this and cautious of that. Even though he had possessed mighty power, he had not dared to let himself go.
Opportunities to release his full might and kill, like the one before him right now, were too few and far in between. It was rare enough for him to cherish every single second of the present.
He felt as if he had been born to fight!
Fighting and killing was his blood. Pain was the embellishment on his dish. All his desires and cravings were satisfied in combat.
"CLANG!! BOOM!!"
Blocking Ligna's charge with his saber, Tyrion smacked him into the distance with his elbow and watched as he smashed into the skyscraper like a cannonball.
Glass, metals, dust and rods tumbled down into the ground continuously, splashing up waves of water.
"A pity…" Tyrion blocked the two consecutive strikes by Alicia on his flank single-handedly. With his shoulder, he rammed into her face, then spun to deliver a roundhouse kick to her bouncy chest.
"BOOM!"
For the umpteenth time, Alicia crashed into another building.
Unlike the previous times, however, she struggled hard to get up again this time.
Unfortunately, her injuries were too grave for her to even budge.
Dark matter erupted from her body like a foggy shadow, as she tried her best to heal.
.
Her organs had being injured; more than fifty percent of her blood was lost. Her muscles were torn in wide rifts and several crucial bones in her had been pulverized.
A blood-red crack had appeared even on her forehead and skull. Through the crack, her squirming brain matter was visible.
Given the extent of Alicia' injuries, had it been any ordinary mortal, he would have died several times over. But to a Devil worshipper, these were merely minor injuries that took some time to heal. The real pain was the force rampaging through her body.
Tyrion did not finish her off, however. Instead, he walked to Ligna, who was trapped and embedded inside the face of a huge wall, unable to budge.
In his eyes, Ligna, the weakest wouldn't provide much damage points anyways, it was alright to finish him off since he ad overstayed his usefulness.
Tyrion walked to the front of Ligna and extended his arm. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Smack."
Gripping his neck, he pulled Ligna out of the wall.
"If it weren't for the fact that my injuries have not recovered…" Ligna struggled to speak with a mouth filled with blood.
"If only my strength was complete, you'd be the one to lose… ARGH!!!!" Before he could finish, Ligna's neck was strangled tightly by a white muscular paw.
Copious amounts of moisture and blood evaporated into steam through the top of his head.
Suspended in midair, he writhed like a prawn. Yet no matter how he struggled and wrestled, he was unable to break free from Tyrion's vise-like grip.
"Let him go!!" Alicia climbed to her feet again. She, too, had noticed the dire straits they were in. The dark glow around her dimming as her milky-white body had its entire body changed.
Suddenly, the darkness she emitted got denser and denser, forming a huge shadowy fog around her and her dagger.
This was also the reason why Tyrion had left her for later. She seem to have nit used her entire strength.
Tyrion ignored her. In his grip, Ligna was choking tragically. The blood all over Ligna's body was dropping like tap.
"Eh?" Suddenly, Tyrion sensed something amiss. He tried to lift up his other arm, only to realize abruptly that his body could not budge a single inch.
"LION'S BIND!!" Without warning, Ligna's eyes burst open. Without warning, a stream of faint golden smoke shot out from his mouth and wrapped itself around Tyrion's waist.
"HURRY, NOW!!" he bellowed.
Alicia struggled to straighten her saber. The darkness in her dagger intensified to a brilliant climax in that moment.
"Attack Of The Dark Queen, Five Slashes Command!!" Channelling all her power to the blade, she leapt into the air. The brilliance of the blade was as blinding as an abyss . In the blink of an eye, she traversed the distance of several dozen meters and landed on the frozen Tyrion.
"CLANG!!"
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
The building which Tyrion had been standing before exploded in the shape of a fan behind Tyrion, as Shockwave blasted everything within a fifty meter radius to smitterrens, sending several dozen building sections, each over a dozen meter tall, shooting up into the sky.
Massive building materials evaporated into white mist and dust which enveloped the area.
The fog grew thicker and thicker, till visibility was virtually nil.
Just then…
"BAM!!"
Alicia screamed tragically, then flew backwards out of the fog.
A tall, massive figure strode out of the thick fog. It was Tyrion, who carried Ligna's limp and silent body in his hand, and it wasn't known if the latter still lived or not.
"What a beautiful strike," Tyrion exclaimed, caressing the wound on the left part of his chest. A huge slash wound could be seen and even his spinal cord was showing.
That was the spot where Alicia had struck with all her power.
"It's a pity now that I've integrated the tiger gene into my body. All that shockingly beautiful saber strike of yours could do was leave this mark. But this comedy ends here." Tyrion tossed Ligna to the ground like a piece of trash. "After I kill him, it'll be your turn."
