Chapter 51: PHANTOM
Silas came in low, his fist driving towards Billie’s rib.
The pillar beneath them ruptured, exploding into tiny bits of stone.
She moved immediately, her hand flashing upward towards Silas’s open jaw.
Billie did not let the distance widen. Her leg shot forward, slamming hard against Silas’s rib.
Billie caught his hand with her palm.
The sleeves of her clothes ripped into shreds.
Both of them stopped for a moment, eyes locked on each other as they assessed themselves.
Billie stood opposite him, her eyes locked on him.
Silas nodded calmly, a katana appearing in his grip with a thought.
Silas took his chance, not even waiting for her to lift her head. His body shot forward like a bullet, katana slicing downwards towards her neck.
Her body twisted at the last minute, barely avoiding the attack.
A razor-thin, crimson line appeared on her cheek.
Silas blinked.
A silver light met his eyes. Silas raised his katana in defense.
The dagger was mere inches away from his back when the air exploded.
He turned to his back in an attempt to attack Billie, but she was gone again.
Silas turned quickly to the source of the sound but saw nothing. Billie was gone already.
He swung back towards the source instantly, but Billie was gone already, her body moving like a phantom.
"I just hope you don’t die from this attack," he said.
Holding the blade horizontally, he spun like a drill.
In the path of his blade, sharp arcs of aether shot out, destroying everything in their path.
"Never attack blindly at an enemy you can’t see," the voice came softly from behind Silas.
"Got you," he whipped back, turning and slashing in the same motion.
She landed behind him, her leg sweeping Silas’s feet from the floor.
Billie looked at him, then thrust downward at Silas’s head.
He got up just in time to avoid another slash aimed at his face.
Silas replied in tandem. He swung his katana wide.
She stepped into the opening and delivered a kick at his head.
Before he could lift his head, Billie kicked him in the chest.
"Damn, is she truly at the Master rank?" Amelia could not help but whisper to herself.
She was also at Master rank, and she knew very well her own capabilities.
"I am but a frog in a well," she muttered.
"I guess I won the bet," she said.
Billie was enraged by Silas’s gesture, but she failed to realize the true motive.
Her body was hurled through the room, not stopping until she hit the wall on the far end.
"To think Silas was able to fight against this face," Max said with a smile.
"What? I also defeated her, don’t make it sound like I lost," Alfred defended.
"I guess the winner is going to be the first person to stand up," Bryan said from behind.
Both fighters were battered beyond recognition.
Then, from the pile of rubble, they saw movement.
"Now this is crazy," Lilura said for the first time since the fight started.
