Chapter 457 Letting Loose And Subduing
Shooting towards Basco with nothing but the intention to oust the life out of him, Alice ran until she was but a few meters from him, and then without a pause, she puffed her mouth and then blew.
With the speed with which she performed her actions, it was clear that Alice wasn't trying to spew out dragon flames, but that still didn't stop a torrent of flames from shooting out of her mouth and raining on Basco.
Still standing in place, Basco's qi, which had been bubbling beneath his skin, blasted out, and in no time, a cloak of blue light surrounded his body, piercing cackles sounding from it as he stood there and watched the flames fall on it.
Alice's flames fell on Basco just as how water spewed from one mouth would fall on the ground, only that this time the range of her attack was extremely wide, turning the area around Basco into an inferno.
As Alice spewed flames from her mouth, so did she also take several steps backwards, the woman intending to bathe Basco in flames.
Alice's eyes were filled with madness, as she could imagine Basco within the burning flames, struggling to protect himself, but then, she proceeded to stop her attack and send out a punch which immediately countered a palm strike, showing that Alice, far from being delusional about her abilities, was aware.
Though she behaved crazily, Alice was more than aware of her opponent's strength and had been more than prepared for him to escape her attack, as it was all part of her plan.
Rather than run in headfirst and try to punch Basco to pieces, a tactic which Alice found herself loving to employ, considering her insane strength, Alice decided to instead bring Basco to herself.
The thing was that while Alice, in her transformed demon-like form, possessed monstrous physical strength, one that surpassed every other Supreme other than Seth, she couldn't match up to Basco's speed.
With Basco also being a Supreme, the large power gap that should have existed between the two of them after she became a Supreme was closed, and now with the fact that Basco was a genius taken into consideration, along with his fighting prowess and experience, something Alice had a long way to go before reaching also being added, the man was a tough opponent for Alice.
To deal with his speed, which even she could not keep up with, Alice had decided to have him attack her, a strategy that would give her ample time to ready herself to defend and then destroy him.
Comfortably stopping Basco's lightning-filled palm strike with her left hand, Alice's right hand flexed, and a huge red heavy sword appeared in her hand, and then not wasting a moment, the woman swung it down on Basco.
"Die, you traitor!" Alice cackled as her big sword blurred through the air to take her ex-lover's life.
Without fear, Basco stared at the approaching sword, more of his qi bursting out of him, and with a flick of his hand, a white staff appeared in his hands. Basco deftly swung the staff to block the heavy sword that was falling towards him.
"Boom" was the thick, heavy sound that resounded as both weapons clashed, and though Basco succeeded in blocking the attack as he held his staff with both hands, his feet sank into the ground, and a bit of strain shot into his arms.
"Such monstrous strength, and she doesn't even look like it," Basco cried, his words spoken in relation to Alice's still, curvy, and slim figure.
Though having gotten the short end of the stick in this challenge, Basco didn't wait for Alice to act first after blocking her attack.
Riling up the qi in him and buffing up his physical strength as much as he could, Basco pushed against Alice's great sword, managing to send it a few inches away, and then with expertise, his figure blurred, and his right leg shot out to deliver a kick to Alice's gut.
Though Basco carried out his movement with finesse and zero delay, Alice was still able to follow his action and bring her heavy sword to the side, using its flat edge to defend against the kick.
As Basco's feet smashed against her sword, an explosion of lightning occurred at the point of impact, and though Alice had to grit her teeth, she was able to remain standing.
Withstanding this thunderous impact, Alice immediately sent her dantian churning, and qi poured out of her into the surroundings.
"Come into my embrace, Basco," Alice said, her voice soft and enchanting like the words from one lover to another.
As Alice spoke these words, for ten meters around her and Basco, the ground ripped apart, and pink and red ribbons made of nothing but pure qi rose into the air.
"Damn," Basco muttered and tensed his leg to move away, but having already gotten him this close to herself, Alice had no intention of letting him go.
Just as Basco moved to retreat, Alice also shot after him, her steps shattering the ground as she recklessly poured out her qi and chased after Basco.
Though she had been working on the finetuning of her ability since she was turned into a Supreme, the desire to let loose and rampage around, letting out the humongous amount of qi within her, was just too delicious and as she pursued and locked down on Basco, Alice wondered if this was the reason why Seth was always itching to carry out some massive level of destruction.
Though Basco was significantly faster than Alice, with the reckless pumping of her qi into her body and using it to empower her already out-of-this-world physical body, Alice closed a lot of the distance between them and unless Basco was given a significant distance or was ready to receive one of Alice's ruinous attacks, there was no way he was going to escape her.
Seeing the hundreds of ribbons Alice had summoned beginning to twine and build a wall both above and on all sides of him, Basco knew Alice wasn't going to play around this time.
"This woman, I don't want to be the test subject of whatever special abilities Dorian said she might have, I better end this now."
Having no desire to continue playing with his extremely hazardous opponent, Basco immediately retracted all of his qi, taking away even his cloak of lightning and making himself vulnerable to any attack that Alice would throw his way but this only lasted for a second, as the next second, his fluctuation occurred once more.
With Basco's next fluctuation, his qi exploded out of him, a loud crackle sounding as pure white lightning wrapped around his body and just as Alice was still trying to understand what he was doing, a fist smashed into her chest, and then darkness took over.
