Chapter 140: Damon vs Anastasia 2

It didn’t take long for an hour to come to pass, and it was already time for Anastasia and Damon to square off.

As both combatants stood in the field, Instructor Lee began with his speech. "Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the final piece of this tournament, the finals!" he screamed. "With the power vested in me, I now declare that the final match Begins!"

Even though they could begin, none of them moved. Damon looked Anastasia in the eye and smiled. "Do you have any idea what I have planned for you?"

Anastasia smiled back as she tilted her head. "Why? is it a surprise? You should know I hate surprises."

"Too bad." Damon shook his head with a wry smile as five reflections appeared next to him. "It is a surprise."

Anastasia’s eyes narrowed slightly. The aura she could sense from those reflections was palpable. These were not the usual ones.

Damon himself meanwhile patted the shoulders of two of the reflections. "I’ll leave it to you." he said before he leapt towards the other end of the arena.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The moment Damon was gone, the air simultaneously detonated multiple times as all five of Damon’s reflections disappeared from their spot. They moved with speed so fast that the air rang out as a testament to that.

The next moment, they reappeared, some before Anastasia, and some next to her, encircling her in a semi circle.

One of the Damons attacked first, his sword falling to Anastasia’s neck with sharp lethality, and with no hesitation whatsoever. Not surprising, the sword coming towards her neck slowed down proportionately, and Anastasia weaved under the attack, before her fist launched into the reflection’s guts.

Keuk!

The reflection benched over, and Anastasia seized grasp of his neck, swiftly turned, and put him in the way of an incoming attack from another reflection.

Puchi!

The sword went through his chest and exited from his back.

All these, from the time the Damons charged at Anastasia, till this time all happened in a single second.

Fwwhwiii!

While Anastasia still had her hand around one of the reflection’s neck, another one of the five swiftly appeared behind her. The reflection cared for not whether his attack would encompass his fellow selves.

Fall!

A small precised and controlled wind blade covered the blade of his sword. However, predictably, all Damons in the vicinity, including the one currently attacking suddenly slowed to a crawl. Anastasia sidestepped the sword attack, before putting the repletion she still had in her grasp in the way of the sword.

The sword split the reflection in two from the torso down, soon followed by the sound of the reflection shattering into motes of light. The moment the reflection shattered, a place fist appeared in Anastasia’s vision. She tilted her head letting the fist graze her cheek slightly, the friction drawing some blood, before suddenly ducking down as a blade passed through the space her head had just been.

However, the ducking wasn’t safe either, because the next moment, a foot now appeared in her vision.

Bang!

The foot connected with Anastasia’s forearm, and she skidded a couple dozen meters backwards. However, instead of the grim disposition on all Damons’ faces, Anastasia had a smile on her face.

"I have to admit..." she said as a scarlet aura began emanating from her body. "I am a little impressed."

BOOOM! The scarlet aura erupted as Anastasia’s longsword appeared in her hand, making the ground beneath her feet sunk in.

"Well i aim to impress." All the Damons smiled back as a palpable dark aura erupted from their bodies.

BOOOM... Crakakakaka!

A violent thunderous shockwave rang out as both the the red flare, and the group of black flares disappeared from their spot, and turned into streaks of red and dark lights respectively.

The group of black streaks attacked the scarlet streak like a pack of wolves, but the scarlet streak swam among them like a fish in water. Each clash of the scarlet streak with a black streak or two, sent out shockwaves of cataclysmic proportions.

As the four black streaks zeroed on the scarlet streak from all directions, the scarlet streak suddenly launched into the sky. The scarlet aura around Anastasia erupted further with Anastasia at it’s heart.

"Tidal wave." Anastasia whispered as she swung her sword down with all her might. A tsunami comparable to a river worth of water appeared in the sky. The tsunami looked suspended in mid air, and for a moment, it looked strangely beautiful, before it crashed downwards with overwhelming might that was.

However, even as the tsunami touched the ground and swept towards them with speed that should be quite impossible for a water body, none of the Damons showed panic. The dark aura surrounding their bodies became more palpable, before turning mist like as some raised their swords in a vertical stance, while the others held theirs in a horizontal stance.

A chilling mist suddenly appeared, somewhat shrouding the four Damons from view, before their voices rang out simultaneously in one overlapping layer.

"Fourth art; Blizzard vale."

All four Damons simultaneously swung their swords at the overwhelming tsunami. Ice elements condensed from their spot and swept through the entire tsunami, and even the part that still hadn’t touched ground, along with half the arena.

The Towering body of water that was falling before, was now as still as corpse, shaped into a glacier that towered over the arena.

BOOM!

However, the beautiful scenery created by Damon’s art soon shattered into shards and splinters of ice as a scarlet streak plowed through them.

The scarlet streak rapidly advanced towards the four Damons, and for the first time since the fight started, Damon’s eyes widened, his gaze narrowing in slight shock. His arm shot upward to block the blow, but it was too late.

The punch connected with one of the Damons left cheek like a meteor crashing into the earth, the impact thunderous and cataclysmic.

A shockwave rippled outward, shattering the air around them as the reflection’s head snapped violently to the side. The sheer force sent him hurtling backward with blinding speed, his body becoming a blur as it smashed onto the ground and bounced for several meters. The ground quaked beneath the might of the blow, dust and rubble exploding into the air in his wake.

Blood sprayed from his mouth, his expression turning firm as he performed a mid-air spin, skidding to an abrupt stop, all fours on the hard ground. Though the punch wasn’t enough to dispel him since it wasn’t a fatal attack, it did hurt a lot.

Damon’s main body who stood at the far end of the arena slightly winced. ’She’s finally getting serious huh?’

Meanwhile, the moment Anastasia’s fist connected with one of the Damons and sent him flying, another’s sword swept towards her head. Anastasia ducked once more, but the sword still severed a couple strands of her scarlet hair.

Bang!

A short muffled explosion rang out as Anastasia caught hold of another reflection that tried to kick her away like last time, but was forced to let go as another sword slashed towards her hand. Anastasia jumped back, creating distance between the the reflections, and herself.

The reflection that had been sent back also flickered towards the rest.

Then with an explosion akin to a star going supernova, both the figures of Anastasia, and that of the four reflections moved in unison, the atmosphere quaking as they collided.

Anastasia and the reflections turned into scarlet and black streaks respectively. The sheer intensity of their collisions shattered the hardened ground beneath them, jagged cracks spiderwebbing outward with each impact.

One reflection move forward, sword aimed for Anastasia’s neck, but she merely sidestepped. The reflection spun, and kicked towards her head, but Anastasia like before caught the foot in her hand, then without hesitation, spun the reflection and slammed him hard into the ground.

BOOOM!

A massive shockwave exploded from his centre as a network of spiderweb cracks spread out from beneath his form and his body sunk into the ground. Anastasia spun her sword, and made a beeline towards his neck.

BOOOM

However, the air detonated before she could do so, and she felt something flying rapidly through the air, and headed for her from behind.

Anastasia’s ability pulled into effect, slowing whatever it was and giving her enough time to tilt her head to the side. Even though, the projectile, now known to be a sword, grazed her cheek slightly as it passed.

And that wasn’t all, another black streak appeared next to her, and tried to connect a kick to the side of her head, only to ultimately fail as Anastasia leapt backwards, flipped mid air, and landed on her feet.

Anastasia raised a hand to her cheek where a red line had appeared. "Tsk, troublesome pests." She spatted as she felt the texture of blood.
