Chapter 627 Monster Of Learning
Eris lunged forward, sucking the blood sword back into her veins and conjuring a long spear. "You'll run out of mana first!" She thrust at his face. The spear burned with divine magic, ready to deliver a divine piercer.
Arad smiled, clenching his right fist. The scales on it turned into stone as the curse of petrification engulfed it. With a burst, he uppercut the spearhead.
Gravity magic prevented direct contact, and the curse of petrification nullified the secondary blast, shattering in the process.
Eris gasped, unable to believe that she had just seen someone punch a divine piercer out of the way, and he was a vampire on top of it. If she told the church, they'd call her a heretic.
She used the momentum left from Arad hitting the tip of the spear to spin it, trying to smack him on the side.
Arad swung his left hand down, smacking the spear away and deflecting a divine crusher.
^He could have tried to petrify me and end the fight quickly, but he's intentionally choosing the hard way. If I were the target, I'd just nullify the curse and make it useless. But he's choosing to use it on himself and manually block all the attacks since there is nothing I can do about it,^ She took a step back and swung her foot at him, her nails crackling with plasma.
"How about this?" She cried.
Arad stepped forward, hugging her with her leg up, pushing her knee into her face. The force of her kick has all disappeared.
Eris tried to move, but in that hug, she had no way of overpowering Arad's might. She stared at his passive face, terrified, ^This man is something else,^
Her whole body flashed with plasma and holy magic, burning like a flare.
Arad let go of her and jumped back, shaking his hands with a smile as he looked at her, "That burns," He then opened his arms, "Come for a second hug," He said.
Two veins bulged on Eris's forehead, ^He's mocking me?^ Her right fist blazed with plasma. As she burst forward, she swung at his face.
Arad ducked down, taking a step forward and hugging her from the stomach, lifting her up.
The plasma in Eris's fist burst forward as she missed Arad's chest, exploding far back and shaking the whole cave.
Eris growled, swinging her fist repeatedly at Arad's back with holy and plasma magic, but nothing got in. The scales on a dragon's back were the hardest and by adding his gravity and curse, she couldn't damage him at all.
"Ok! This is getting embarrassing." Eris growled, her whole body bursting with holy and plasma magic in a massive burst, sending Arad flying back, his face charred.
"Do you like that?" She stared at him, "Stop hugging me, keep that for the bed."
Arad stood, his face healing as he smiled, "Yeah, I like this," He cracked his neck, his eyes glowing, "When you expand so much mana and holy magic to get me off you,"
Eris could feel her knees growing weaker, her chest tightening as she started feeling her mind dazing away. ^I see, he was taunting me to expand massive amounts of mana and stress my body with a lot of holy magic. He can recycle mana, he'll never run out, and only he knows how much blood he has stocked up for heals.^
"Noticed?" He took a step forward.
"Late, but I did," She stared at her shaking palm, ^I already stressed myself with holy magic, I'm not used to it since I only got it.^
"Clench your teeth," Arad looked at her, his eyes glowing purple and he disappeared from her vision, for her to see his fist at her face.
^He can use time magic again,^ Eris gasped, taking his fist to the face. But at the same time, her foot dug into his side, exploding with a massive burst of plasma.
Both of them got sent flying, and Arad smiled, holding his bleeding side. ^She tanked that and countered? Did she give up on trying holy magic and return to using raw power?^
He stared into the distance, seeing two purple plasma wings glow. [Death Butterfly] Eris stepped forward, wearing her plasma and holding a massive purple spear in her hand. Each step she took melted the ground beneath her feet.
Her face healed as her eyes dripped plasma like tears, "That hurt, you know?"
"You kick hurt as well," Arad walked toward her, his body healing as he expanded his wings, his tail flailing around like a whip, ready to strike. "But I like women who can kick me back,"
"Lower your standards. There aren't many who could do that," Eris stared at him with a smile, "I too like those who I can't kill," Her spear scratched the ground, leaving a long melted line.
In the blink of an eye, she threw the spear at him aiming for the torso. Arad dodged, and Eris flew straight to him, her fingers flashed with plasma.
Her palm struck Arad's face, and he kicked her at the side. Both tanked the hits, swinging again and again at each other.
^She's holding to the ground by melting the stone around her feet, and on top, healing with both blood and what remained of her holy magic. I can't shake her off,^ Arad smiled, taking plasma-infused punches and kicks from left to right.
^He's heavy,^ Eris growled, ^His leg claws are fastening him to the ground, and his weight, magic, and bulk are sucking most of my attacks. I can't move him,^ She thought, taking hits left and right.
The cave started cracking as the two clashed, each hit sending a shockwave powerful enough to crack the walls.
BAM! The two lunged back, bleeding with smiles. "My holy magic is back," Eris smiled, lifting her hands.
"And so is my time spell," Arad put his hands together.
Putting her hands together, her nails flashed with plasma, blood, and holy magic, sparking into her eyes and back.
The void started rushing out of Arad's back, crackling into his hands, infused with gravity magic and the petrification curse.
