The Rise Of Calamity

Chapter 222 - Yuri Vs Pandora II (14/20)



Two wings suddenly sprouted out of her back as the white light of ice and light magic blended together beautifully. Yet, this did not stop me from seeing the fury and rage hidden deep within the demonic expression Yuri was currently directing at me.

With the single flap of Yuri's wings, she was instantly in the air. The next moment, her deep, threatening, and nightmarish voice echoed in the room, causing countless objects to begin to shake as well as causing the wind and water elements in the room to vibrate violently.

"THRONE WORLD!"

Before I even knew it, I was already in a frozen tundra with countless long trees covered in snow and ice covering the boundless planes. Looking around, all I could currently see was huge clumps of mana, ice elemental particles created after the air and water particles combined into one, and Yuri who stood there with a menacing aura ready to kill me at any second.

On the outside, both Rose and Olivia wanted as both I and Yuri were enveloped in white light and before being sucked into a brighter white light that radiated off a ball. The ball quickly stopped shining when we entered it and instead, looked like a normal 15-meter wide sphere of ice that would shine certain colors depending on the situation inside.

Olivia looked at Rose as sweat began to streak down her face.

"C-Can you save Pandora? They went into that thing and-" Before Olivia could finish speaking, Rose stopped her with the wave of a hand.

"Don't worry, I can see everything that is happening inside plus, I can easily enter it or shatter the throne world if I wanted to.

It was only then that Olivia's heart rate could finally become calm while at the same time, allowing her to let go of the breath she did not know she was holding in herself.

Back inside, I and yuri were having a staring contest, or what seemed like it anyway. Whenever I would walk to the right, she would walk to my left and we would start circling each other. Eventually, we would lose sight of each other since there were trees everywhere, but that was not a problem for me since I had the clairvoyance to help me out in situations like this. I could not use divine eyes because the trees were made out of mana, therefore I would not be able to see past the thick mana used to create them.

"You think you can win?" Yuri snorted

"Fiesty aren't ya'?" I chuckled 

"I know exactly where you are at all times as long as you stay in my throne world. The worst thing for you is that you can't even use that little trick of yours, what was it called? The lightning of absolution, right?" She smirked

"These trees are pretty cool, don't you think. They are made completely out of mana yet they look so real" I complimented making Yuri's frown deepen.

"This is not some playground for you to play in. This is a battle, and in a battle, you must fight to the death with your opponent. That is the way of a fighter." She growled in return.

"Hey hey" I raised both my arms "You are the one who chose to fight me. All I wanted was a spar" I chuckled 'nervously'

"NO! You killed my team, my squad for no reason. Yes, I might not know them that well due to me being a solo kind of person before being the regional guildmaster, but they were my squad and I will avenge them. Also, do not DARE disrespect them" Her hands began to clutch tightly and her aura had become more ferocious than before. 

It was then that I felt strong energy burst out of her and in the same instant, I saw an image of my heart being stabbed through by a knife made out of ice.

I quickly sidestepped and with blurring speed, throw an underarm punch towards where her liver would be in a split second. 

The moment she appeared and she felt no resistance behind her stab, she immediately becomes extremely vigilant, allowing her to jump back in an instant, therefore completely avoiding my punch. 

In response, I swiftly dashed backward, yet I was forced to lean back as I watched a knife slice at where my head once was, barely avoiding at a hair's breadth. 

Simultaneously, I threw a punch toward her abdomen, hitting her square in the naval and causing her to cough up a bit of saliva.

Again, I dashed back and clashed with her for a few more minutes until she was finally clutching at her knees while panting, unaware of the amount of saliva that was leaving leaking as she breathlessly tried to get up again to fight.

"I... Won't... Let... You... Get... Away... With... This..." She panted

"Really? Cuz' it seems like I am winning" I chuckled. In reality, I was barely winning. The combination of Throneworld and continuously clashing with me over and over again caused her to become extremely tired. And to add insult to her injury, the only thing that was currently keeping me from having my heart or head impaled was actually my clairvoyance ability. 

Without it, I would have died 500 times by now.

"You think this is... Game?!" Yuri gritted her teeth and looked at me with fiery.

The hateful expression on her face could not be described with words. I could not tell if it was anger, betrayal, or grief she was feeling.

"Yeah... I mean, you were the one who attacked me first, remember? This is a spar" I tilted my head a little and raised a brow

"Spar? SPAR!? YOU THINK THIS IS A SPAR?!" Yuri roared with some kind of newfound energy that exploded out from her.

"I WILL NOT FAIL THEM AGAIN! I AM THEIR GUILDMASTER! THEY PUT FAITH IN ME... AND YOU KILLED THEM!" Yuri flickered and appeared to my side while flailing around her hands as I barely dodge her attacks, getting only a few minor scratches and cuts that immediately healed.

Yet, with all the skills, titles, and powers I had, I could not see what she was about to do next coming.

Suddenly, as if my clairvoyance had stopped working, I felt an immediate threat from behind. It was then that she flickered, appeared behind me, and even though an image of her attacking me from behind flashed in my mind, due to her speed that was way above mine, I could not react in time.

Multiple images of all the places she could have stabbed started to flash in my mind.

My heart began to race while my mind started to go into overdrive.

*SLASH*

*Thug*

*Thud*

The sound of two thuds, one much lower in volume than the other, rang out in the violent winds of the snowy tundra.

My lifeless head lay two the side of my motionless decapitated body while blood began to spew out of where my head once was.
