Bernard couldn't help but frown, just from how long she had managed to prolong the fight with her strange symbiote ability so far this was already bad, it was not just because none of his attacks could hit her but because his energy points were gradually going down even his health point was also being reduced, which was not good considering if any of them reached zero he would be out of the game, although he didn't mind losing his health bar in the game, but that couldn't be said for his energy points so far his energy point was like his main health inside the game.
While Bernard was throwing Meow Meow Cat Strike non-stop at these thousands of white pieces of paper, Konan then spread out a part of her body that were currently pieces of white paper, as Bernard saw this he tried to dodge but just like what happened before it was useless even if his perception could cover up to four meters she could just fill up the entire space his detection range covered, and even with that there would still be more than enough to fill up more spaces.
As she sent those pieces of white paper at him, they began to fold themselves from just ordinary papers to arrows, however, this was just a decoy because the moment they got so close to him they began to wrap themselves around his Bernard's arm and as if they were spikes they change their form once more, to barb wire and with her other hand she also sent another round of white pieces of papers towards him and wrapped around his other arm, after she did this just like before she change it into a barbwire and began to weave it around his arms.
However, that wasn't all because, in the next moment, she began to wrap herself around his body in form of white paper barb wires, the tighter she clung herself to him the more his health bar was reduced, while she was doing this she couldn't help but stare at his expression, and wonder what Blood_Of_Damocles would do at this point since she had managed to wrapped herself around his upper body to restrict both his arms what he do next?
And how was he going to activate that his blood-related ability now?
Even though she seemed like she was putting her best on the surface, the truth was Konan wasn't, instead she was purposely using barbed wires instead of just straight out piercing right through him, although if anyone got to know this they might find it strange but then Konan felt like Bernard was hiding something up his sleeve, for him to stay this calm at least on the surface, and not freak out.
She wanted to prolong the fight and also wanted to know just how strong he truly was, she had heard of symbiote users who were restricted on the game but a lot more powerful in the outside world.
Besides that, she couldn't help but wonder why he wasn't cursing out loud insulting words to her, considering he was being beaten by a girl.
In the meantime, instead of Bernard to be angry for some reason he was feeling ecstatic, although it had been a while since he felt this weak and was beaten or wounded like this his blood and his heart instead were boiling and racing in excitement, it was for none other reason than the thrill of the match.
All the match he had fought recently had been so easy that he felt like he wasn't getting any experience, but now through the fight, he felt his fighting experience was gradually building up, but then the downside was that his energy points were also reducing along side his main health bar in the game.
Bernard suddenly thought if he didn't do anything his energy point would still likely be reduced to zero and at the same time if he did something as well his energy point would still reduce to zero, then what was the use of saving the energy points anyways since they would still become zero eventually, besides it was not like he like receiving beatings, and with this thought inside his mind there was only one thing left for him to do now.
"Meow Meow Cat Strike!!!!!" Bernard lifted both his hands, and immediately after blood began to flash on his ten fingers extremely fast, the moment Konan saw this she immediately let go of him and began to retract herself like an angel floating in the sky with the large wings made of pieces of paper flapping slowly behind her.
She could feel this particular attacks he was about to throw at her were stronger than the previous ones, for some reason each time he shouted the name of his attacks they seem to become stronger she didn't know if it was just her imagination or not.
Konan kept floating in the air, meanwhile, there was one person who knew whenever her sister decided to use her angel form she was about to do something crazy, after watching the match for a while, Kate had managed to calm herself down watching her sister give that Blood_of_Damocles guy a run for his money had subsided the anger she had in her, so now she was just waiting for sister to win the match.
After freeing himself Bernard didn't charge at her immediately, instead he stood where he was and took in a deep breath, and began to walk towards her in slow stride while he did this he kept throwing Meow Meow Cat Strikes at her, however, he wasn't calling the names to make them more powerful, since it was only meant to serve as a distraction anyways while floating in the air she kept blocking the attack he threw at her easily, however she could feel something wasn't right but she didn't know how.
When Bernard eventually got close enough within five meters distance, Bernard lifted his hand and began to activate Blood Bending, as she saw this she couldn't help but shook her head, if the feeling she was getting earlier was because of this then it was as good as doing nothing, she thought to herself it wasn't that she was trying to look down on him since she knew just how powerful it was and knew perfectly well what would happen to anyone who got hit by it, however, it was still useless.
Konan had prepared for it, so the moment Bernard use it she was already flying backward and was spreading out her body into white pieces of paper, but then something strange she had never expected happened, right in front of her Bernard suddenly disappear into empty air and space, not just that she could also not see him she would have thought that the match had ended or he had given up on the match, but then she could clearly see the match was still on.
"Meow Meow Cat Strike!"
Just as she wondering what was happening, that was when she heard a voice that made her hairs stood on ends, and from behind her five claw strikes struck her making her body quiver and stopping her from fully shattering, immediately reducing her health bar by 50%, then a second one and third.
And just as he was about to finish her off with another Meow Meow Cat Strike, his knees suddenly caved in and he fell on the ground, with a blur expression and blood could be seen coming out from his orifice, although his health bar was currently displaying 40%, his energy points were the opposite.
