Chapter 143: Damon vs Anastasia final
Chapter 143: Damon vs Anastasia final
All the Damons smiled so wide that it looked horrifyingly creepy. "We won’t know until we try now, will we?"
Spiderweb cracks covered the ground as all nine of him moved at once. Their movements creating a chain reaction sonic boom. They spread out and rushed at her from different directions.
A thunderclap detonated across the landscape as Anastasia turned into a scarlet streak and vanished. The human shaped vaccum she’d left was forcefully filled back, creating a sound akin to a thunderclap.
The scarlet streak reappeared in between three of Damon’s reflections. Having being caught in Anastasia’s ability, the reflections looked like they were moving through a viscous liquid both to Anastasia and the remainder of the Damons.
Still, they were still moving even though not as fast as her. One reached for her hand, while another swung his sword towards her head. Anastasia parried the sword with one powerful swing, then separated his sword arm from his torso, before removing his head off.
Then sidestepped the one who tried to grab her, and in a brutal upwards motion pierced her sword through the reflection’s head from underneath his jaw, then splitter the head in two, freeing her sword, and then finally concentrated an intense amount of aether in her fist so much so that it glowed.
Anastasia drew her fist back, and punched at the face of the third reflection. A wet crunch, followed by an explosion of gore rang out as the reflection’s head exploded. It shattered into motes of light near instantly. From the time Anastasia appeared between the three till this moment, not even a second had passed.
Six black streaks appeared next to Anastasia near instantly. One of the reflections turned into a streak as a punch landed square on his chest. The fight soon devolved into a primal battle of hand to hand.
Fortunately, Damon got that part covered, he managed to land a few hooks on the less experienced Anastasia, especially since she was fighting multiple of him at ones. No matter how fast or how strong she was, she was still two hands and legs going against ten hands and legs, so she was bound to concede a few blows.
However, that didn’t change the fact that Damon was still on the losing side. Anastasia’s hits still packed more punch after all. Their hands and feet became blurs as they moved in fast succession.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Anastasia sidestepped a left hook with brutal efficiency, then gave a resounding uppercut to that reflection. Another tried to sweep her feet off the ground, but she jumped up, successfully evading the attack. However a precise kick slammed into her side, sending her flying. Anastasia flipped mid air, and landed with a roll before quickly blurring away from her spot.
The moment Anastasia disappeared from there, a fist cracked the earth, sending weaves of a spiderweb pattern in all directions.
As Anastasia continued her entanglements with the six reflections, Damon and the reflection that crashed into him crawled their way out of the hole.
The reflection that collapsed into him disappeared from his spot and joined the fray, leaving Damon all by himself.
Damon continued to watch with bated breaths as Anastasia and his reflections further devastated the arena. His face grew grim however as another two of his reflections fell.
"Blooming spring!" All five of the reflections that had somehow surrounded Anastasia yelled. Massive tides of tsunami converged and flooded towards Anastasia with record speed, drowning her in it’s depths. The massive amounts of water had barely drowned Anastasia, before the reflections followed up with another attack.
"Blizzard vale." The palpable dark aura shrouding their bodies released a chilling mist, the breath released by the Damons themselves came out in cold chilling mist.
The moment they swung their swung their sword at the massive body of water, a visual representation of a frozen wasteland appeared behind all Damons, before a blitzing blizzard swallowed both the massive bodies of water and the entire arena, turning the former to literal ice, and caking the latter in a thick layer of frost.
Much like the arena, the crowd was completely frozen, of course not literally, but in the sense that they were in shock. Right the in the heart of the crystal clear ice, stood a frozen Anastasia. They couldn’t even begin to comprehend how it happened. Their shock lever was continuously being broken today.
Just when they thought they couldn’t get more shocked, another crazy thing would suddenly happen. First they thought Damon couldn’t defeat Levi, then they thought he couldn’t defeat Rose, then they thought Anastasia couldn’t defeat Alistair, and finally now, they were certain Damon couldn’t defeat Anastasia.
But the young man went and did it against all odds. How in the world was someone this powerful even called a trash, or a waste. Or was it just a ruse created by the unruly prince to make others lower their guard down? If it was then Damon was more dangerous than they gave him credit for.
Damon, meanwhile had no idea what the crowd was thinking o

Damon, meanwhile had no idea what the crowd was thinking of him.
"Huuuuuuh!" Damon– the main body, let out a breath of icy turbid air. "I have done it." A triumphant smile appeared on his lips as he looked at the redhead’s frozen sculpture with the massive block of ice.
But wait, "Why isn’t the instructor announcing my win?" he mused. "Could it be that...."
CRACK! BOOM!
Before Damon could finished his sentence, a loud crack cracked through the air, followed by an earthshaking shockwave that sent sharp splinters of eyes flying everywhere, forcing Damon to guard with his hands and close his eyes in reflex.
"How in the..." Damon stared gobsmacked at the figure holding one of his reflections who had a sword through his chest by the face. Somehow, Anastasia had managed to break free from the block of ice that held her captive, and pierced through the heart of one of his reflections.
Crack!
The reflection shattered soon after. "I must say..." Anastasia smiled. " I’m impressed you managed to freeze me for some moments even with the ridiculous amount of aether I had cloaked myself with."
"Even still, like I said, I’m impressed, but let’s end this shall we?" She smiled as she vanished from her spot once more and appeared before another reflection. Her sword came down on him, but the reflection managed to parry the blow, only for Anastasia to instantly speed up, twist her body, and carved half his skull off.
The last three reflections appeared next to her near instantly, a sword rushing towards her head, a fist headed for her chin, and another sword heading for her torso.
However, all of their moments slowed dramatically without exception. Bang! A reflection’s head violently tilted to the side, but as Anastasia moved in to finish him off, the other two had already transitioned from their earlier attacks.
Instead of finishing that reflection off, she instead grabbed him by the head, spun around and positioned him in the way of the other two’s swords.
Puchi! Puchi!
Two swords pierced into the reflections head and chest simultaneously, and he shattered soon after. However Anastasia had already disappeared. She reappeared behind one of the reflection, the moment he turned in reflex, a brutal uppercut sent him upwards, and Anastasia’s follow up kick connected with the other one’s head, sending him reeling violently to the side.
Anastasia then appeared before him and drew her fist back, before she punched at his guts. The reflection folded almost immediately, as he spat out a mouthful of blood, but very soon shattered as Anastasia’s fist punched a hole through his stomach and to his back.
Anastasia then punched upward at the last reflection who was already falling to the ground. A vaccum pressured punch that compressed the air sent him flying back upwards. Anastasia bent her legs and flew after him soon after.
The moment Anastasia reached the reflection, she concentrated a dense amount of aether in her feet, then in a brutal fashion, kicked at the reflection’s head.
BOOOM!
A sound akin to a nuclear detonation rang out through the arena as the reflections head exploded in brain matter and gore, before all turned into motes of light as the reflection shattered.
Meanwhile, Damon who was at the ground stared gobsmacked. In under a second, Anastasia had dealt with two of his reflections, than leapt up and dealt with the last one.
At this point, Damon knew that he had already lost, no matter how unwilling he was. If even his so called prime reflections couldn’t beat her, there was no way he could. While he could have said that he would have won if he was also in the Theta- rank, that was still an ’if’.
Even so, if he was going to lose, Damon was going to give Anastasia one final gift. He brought his hands in the direction of her descending figure, and hit the bars es on his forearms as hard as he could.
BOOOM!
An earthshaking shockwave blew Anastasia back upwards so fast that her figure disappeared for a moment, and only reappeared when she hit the translucent barrier.
The impact sent a disturbing force through Anastasia’s body so much that she coughed out a mouthful of blood. A smile of dark satisfaction crossed Damon lips at that. ’Hope you like the gift.’
Anastasia’s body soon began falling back towards the ground, with no control whatsoever. However just two meters shy from the ground, her body suddenly slowed, giving her more than enough time to flip herself on her feet.
Anastasia looked up at Damon’s smiling figure with exasperation, before a cruel smile appeared on her lips. She was going to give this troublesome pest a piece of her mind.
However just as she was preparing to launch herself at him, a clear voice rang out.
"I surrender."
