Chapter 1765 - 1189: Well Done.
"Bang!"
In the next second, a terrifying repulsive force erupted from Reiger’s body, blasting away the surrounding ice and glaciers, bringing his figure back into the atmosphere.
"Slash!"
At that very moment, Charity’s figure appeared in front of him.
The Inheritance Sword, exuding an ancient, mysterious, and enduring aura, was raised high and then brought down, aiming at Reiger’s head.
This sword strike, unlike the previous stunning ones, was silent and stealthy.
It was like the silent snow creeping in at night, not as fierce as a snowstorm, yet facing this silent sword, Reiger’s eyes reflexively lit up with a transparent sheen, instantly retreating without the thought of using his [Limitless Curse Technique] for defense.
[Limitless Curse Technique] is a technique that interferes at the atomic level to govern space.
With this technique, Reiger should be invincible against Charity.
But looking at the impressive Charity now, Reiger’s intuition told him that the defense might not work.
The reason is simple; if Charity could use her extraordinary senses to find the weak points of [Curse] power, she could possibly master the motion direction of the atomic-level particles manipulated by [Limitless Curse Technique].
If she accomplishes this, then using the power of the Ice Holy Sword, it’s entirely possible to freeze these atomic-level particles, temporarily immobilizing them, rendering them unable to be controlled.
This way, the defense would crumble, and Reiger would take that sword blow, cut in half by the sub-Holy Sword.
"This woman’s innate strength might not have increased, but her way of wielding power has improved at least tenfold."
To achieve this with a near-instinctual Extraordinary Intuition, even Reiger found it incredibly astonishing.
"Boom!"
The possessed Charity ignored Reiger’s feelings, her crimson eyes fixed on him as if he were the only person remaining in her world, shattering the thin ice beneath her feet that had formed at some unknown time, shooting towards him.
"Seems like I have no choice but to fight."
Realizing this, Reiger decisively discarded "Gigawatt", letting it fall from high above without concern for its fate, while finally producing a black knife inscribed with mysterious runic patterns.
A stark contrast in temperature emerged from Reiger’s body, transforming into blazing flames enveloping him.
"Whoosh—"
Charity darted right in front of Reiger, her Inheritance Sword slicing through the night sky, carrying ice blooms like a raging snowstorm, swiftly cutting towards him.
Even before the sword reached Reiger, he felt a chill, which the surrounding flames couldn’t completely block.
Yet, Reiger raised his black knife, facing the sword without fear.
"Clang!!!"
The black knife and ice sword collided, producing a resounding clash akin to striking a bell.
Flames and cold waves erupted from the point of impact, like two storms—one fiery and one icy—expanding outward violently, and continuously clashing, flooding the heavens and earth with phenomena of ice and fire.
The temperature fluctuated drastically, creating sharp contrasts.
At the center of the clash, Reiger and Charity were locked in a fierce sword dance.
"Clang—Clang—Clang—Clang—Clang—"
The flame-covered black knife left char marks with each cut, its blade repeatedly slicing through space, resembling the orbit of a sun, slashing towards Charity from incredible angles, sending waves of heat at her.
In response, the Ice Holy Sword, exuding extreme coldness, dispelled the heat and slashed towards the descending black knife, repeatedly deflecting each attack like cutting through a miniature sun.
Each collision triggered violent eruptions of flame and cold waves, each clash resonating with audible sword strikes.
This was a true sword dance, wild yet breathtaking, laden with killing intent yet imbued with indescribable grace, making its space-traversing trajectory captivating to anyone except for the fearsome disturbance from the sword clashes.
Sadly, ordinary people could not witness this sword dance, only seeing a battlefield filled with flashing blades and swords.
Whether it was Reiger or Charity, both wielded countless swords within mere seconds, their moves too swift for common eyes, leaving only dazzling flashes of blades and swords across the air.
"Clang—"
After countless sword clashes, Reiger finally overpowered Charity with superior force, striking her back with one powerful blow.
"Boom!"
Reiger’s feet erupted with flames, turning his figure into a streak of fire, leaving Charity no time to breathe as his black knife swiftly slashed towards her, tracing the sun’s contour.
"Round Dance Flash!"
The flaming slash followed the path of a perfect circle, leaving a trail of flames that seemed like a sun in flight, cutting towards Charity.
However, simple speed couldn’t surpass Charity fighting with extraordinary senses.
Despite her slower pace, Charity could foretell movements, dodging in advance while stepping on the thin ice beneath, capable of altering direction at any moment, causing Reiger’s seemingly flawless circular slash to narrowly miss her.
"Boom—"
As Reiger brushed past, Charity counterattacked with a divine sword strike, releasing an expansive surge of icy cold.
The cold wave struck decisively, and even with Reiger’s current power, he was caught off guard, exposed in transition between old and new forces.
Just as anticipated, Charity truly could freeze atomic-level particles, nullifying the space control of [Limitless Curse Technique].
The automatic defense seemed inactive, allowing the cold wave to invade and freeze Reiger solid.
"Whoosh—"
Charity, dominated by extraordinary senses, lacked restraint and reflection, driven by instinct and desire for victory, unhesitatingly delivering a deadly strike at the frozen Reiger, her sword glowing with ice blooms.
The strike fashioned an ice river, with chilling currents flowing ice water beneath the Inheritance Sword’s path, descending like a severed waterfall, swift and mesmerizing.
"————"
Time seemed to cease at this moment.
Reiger, encapsulated in ice, watched the ice river-like sword slice towards him, yet his expression was unexpectedly calm.
"Nicely done."
Reiger silently praised her.
Flames failed to thaw the ice completely.
[Limitless Curse Technique] had temporarily waned, unable to release repulsive forces, shattering the ice.
The full-powered burst of the Ice sub-Holy Sword genuinely restricted Reiger, stalling significant movements.
Yet Reiger remained composed.
After all, if big moves were impossible, small moves could suffice.
At least, he could wiggle his fingers, perform Curse Seals with ease.
"Domain Expansion..."
Reiger’s spare hand silently formed a knife seal within the ice.
"[Infinite Voids]."
And the world was fundamentally altered.
