Chapter 316 Fighting A Succubus (Part 2)
"Ughh..." Amanda groaned, annoyed by the fact that not a single one of her attack managed to go pass through the succubus. Not just that, there were several instances when the succubus got too close to Amanda and a few of this times, she even took the liberty to tease her.
Amanda tried her very best to control herself and she did so very well. She treated carefully and didn't dare fall into the trap the succubus had laid down for her.
Trusting her instincts more than her eyes, she evaded an illusion or two but she was still unable to fight the succubus at her full strength. After all, the staff allowed for area of effect attacks while her sword demanded melee combat to show the best of it.
Of which both were nearly impossible as the staff and it's energy was being used to enhance her mental fortitude while if she got too close to the succubus, she was afraid hat she might fall for her charm and if that happened for even one second, Amanda was sure that she would be done for.
Therefore, the fight soon reached a stalemate. Both parties had tested the waters and Amanda decided that she had to take some risks after all. She didn't have the liberty to wait around the whole day and had to trust her mental fortitude that was being strengthened by the world spirit.
As for the succubus, she smiled slyly. The battle had been going pretty well so far and she believed that soon, she would emerge victorious. Not to mention that the succubus was greatly underestimating Amanda, not knowing that her opponent was holding herself back.
In short, the succubus would be dealing with some great shocks of her own.
On the other hand,
The dean sensed the entry of another Celestial in the battlefield. However, since he was in another dimension, the situation was very strange for him.
He wanted to go out and help Amanda but the dean wasn't in the condition to do. The previous fight had drained quite a bit of his mana while changing dimensions served to increase the drain. Right now, the dean was only at twenty percent of his total strength. Therefore, he knew that if he participated in the battle, he would at most serve to be a burden on Amanda.
"Guess she will have to deal with it herself or at least stall the enemy for half an hour. By then I will have recovered half of my strength," The dean thought as he hoped for Amanda's safety while still trusting in her ability to at least hold her ground.
Back at the battle field,
Amanda charged forward as her figure turned into a blur, she appeared besides the succubus as her weapon flashed. The light glinted over the milky white sword as it left multiple after images.
The succubus moved her tail as she redirected the momentum of the strike, only causing a thin cut to appear on her lithe waist. However, that cut healed almost instantly and left nothing behind.
Amanda didn't stop, her feet moved once again as she tapped them in the air and thrust her sword forward at the succubus's throat. While she did that, she used her free hand to summon back her dagger and infused it with her mana.
Her body brimmed with mana as the dagger whizzed forward. Amanda had aimed for the succubus's eye.
This caused the succubus to fall into a dilemma, either she saved her neck or her eye. Not to mention that the dagger was probably infused with something sinister as a strange light shone upon it. Therefore, the dagger was not just powered by mana but also had some malicious effects to it.
The succubus made a hasty decision, she decided to leave her neck partially unarmed as she tilted her head sideways while she raised both her hands to protect her eye. She couldn't let her vision get affected in any way possible.
At worse, her neck would have a deep wound that would be healed sooner if not later but if her eye got affected, not only would her charm drop along with her vision being severely affected, it wouldn't be easy to heal. She would probably have to go to some extremes to get it back to previous condition, given she made it out in one piece.
As the succubus initiated her defense plan, she failed to notice another striking detail. While Amanda utilized both her hands to attack the succubus her feet were free, specifically her knees that were covered with a thick amount of armor.
She vent her knees a bit more as mana started to gather around the knee caps, they glowed lightly and moved forward to attack the succubus's abdomen.
The succubus realized the sneak attack right before the knee was to come into contact with her stomach. Realizing it was too late and that she had been fooled, she blocked the first two attacks that served as distraction while she braced herself for impact.
"Hehe..." Amanda giggled ominously as right before the impact, her knee cap grew with sudden spike as a strange liquid seemed to be smeared over it.
"Shit," That was all the succubus had to think before she felt her vision blur. Her body buckled for a second before she was shot backwards like a cannon ball. Rolling on the ground a few times, she kicked up a cloud of dust as Amanda followed behind her falling figure.
The succubus was semi conscious as her defense was not high to begin with while she barely had any armor on her partially naked body. Even though this served as an advantage to increase her charm, right now it was nothing more than a glaring weakness that Amanda took benefit of perfectly.
While she followed behind the succubus, her domain followed along with her as she utilize the array to the maximum and used the power of world spirit to enhance he magical power.
The staff appeared in her hand once again as she pointed it at the rolling figure of the succubus. The crystal on top of it got charged to the max as it beaned with a blinding radiance.
[World Domain:- Eclipso]
She used the same attack as before but this time, she decided to concentrate the energy on a singular point; the succubus.
The blinding white light shot forward with unnatural speed as it hit the succubus with seconds. The momentum behind the attack was quite a lot as it threw succubus even backward.
Rolling on the ground ruthlessly, her body burned as the light element was her natural enemy as a demon. Not long after, the succubus was woken up due to the pain as she shrieked in the air like a rabid beast.
"Arghhh... you a*shole, I will make sure to slave you into submission and make you feel the worse of life," She shouted in anger. Her hair was a mess while her whole body was stained with blood and dust.
The succubus looked down at her bountiful condition as her only served to grow.
Seeing this, Amanda smiled as a glint of cruelty shone in her eyes. With her body riddled with wounds, the succubus's charm had dropped significantly. After all, for a succubus, her body was her greatest asset as through her body did she charm others and used her potential to it's fullest.
"Guess I can fight even more freely, that gamble was worth it," She muttered to herself and asked the world spirit not to strengthen her mental defenses anymore. The succubus couldn't charm her in such condition and right now, Amanda wanted to finish her off before the succubus pulled off anymore tricks.
Amanda kicked the ground as she flew forward with her sword in front of her. A whitish light covered her blade as she overloaded it with mana.
This caused the blade to shine radially while it's size increased by thrice. Not just the size, but the overall stats of her artifact increased. Not to mention that her weapon was a legendary weapon that had the power to inflict more damage to enemies related to darkness and the demon race was undoubtedly a vassal to darkness.
Her weapon flashed as she closed in on the succubus. The succubus couldn't keep up with Amanda's movement as before she knew it, the sword had flashed in front if her eyes.
"Thudd..."a clear cut and the succubus's head fell to the ground. Her body writhed for a few seconds before it turned cold.
The succubus had died and Amanda had killed her first Celestial single handedly. She collapsed her domain and broke her fusion with the world spirit. Her mana was entirely spent while she felt tired to the bones, not to mention the strain the battle had put on her mind had exhausted her even further.
As she fell to the ground, a hand supported her from the back as the dean spoke into her ears,
"Congratulations, now let's rest for a bit,"
