The Bored Immortal

Chapter 394 - Impressive But Futile

A few minutes ago, right when the mysterious woman in the catsuit stopped Umilia from helping Taya, Umilia decided to take this fight somewhere else since she didn't want Taya to get caught up in their crossfire.

"This time, I won't make it easy for you," Umilia said with a determined gaze as she shot towards the mysterious woman and grabbed her before crashing into the walls dozens of meters away.

The two of them rolled on the floor as they crashed into a large empty room through the walls, breaking them down, though the two of them didn't get hurt.

Both of them immediately got up, and they put some distance between them before ending up in a stare-off.

"You…who are you exactly?" Umilia asked as her gaze remained fixed on her. She was curious about her identity and was hoping to learn her reason for getting involved in all this through it.

The mysterious woman coldly smirked as she said, "It seems I might have overestimated your origins. You can't even recognize my hands despite experiencing it firsthand," As she said this, she subtly moved her fingers in a wavy motion.

Umilia took a close look at her hands that were emanating a chilling jet black mist, and the more she looked at them, the more they resembled the claws of death.

Umilia might be an experienced witch, but she lived most of her life in the Naraka Realm as a ghost. Thus she didn't have much idea about the things going on in the supernatural world. It was no different than living under a rock.

"Well…since you are so ignorant, remember the name Death Queen when you die," Death Queen said in a chilling tone as two jet-black energy beams shot out of her palms and towards Umilia.

Umilia hadn't heard her name before but felt that it wouldn't be any good.

"This Saintess will put you down before you can get the chance," Umilia retorted.

And when she saw two energy beams shooting toward her, Umilia quickly manifested a sword of light in her hands and used it to nullify the two dark energy beams.

"A weapon? How useless…" Death Queen muttered as she shot towards the Saintess as her fingers extended into a few inches long slender yet sharp claws. Anybody who took a look at her hands would have no doubt that these long terrifying claws can sever a head cleanly.

Umilia exchanged a few moves with Death Queen, using her sacred sword to try and strike her. But Death Queen was using her own hands to deflect away from the strikes of the Saintess' sword, making Umilia feel as if her blade was striking against steel even though this Death Queen was using her own hands.

Within just a few moves, Umilia came to a realization that this woman surely had a lot of combat experience, even more than her. Umilia was not really a warrior. She was someone who spent most of her time in the Naraka Realm, trying to save her brother and Viktor's people. It was only due to her good fortune that a mysterious entity was kind enough to teach her the Sacred Arts to protect herself.

But this Death Queen seemed as if she was someone who constantly fought to the death. The longer Umilia exchanged moves with her, the more Umilia could feel the stench of death and blood emanating from this woman.

It was as if she could feel the countless souls that were annihilated by these two terrifying hands.

Umilia was finding it harder and harder and was slowly being pushed into a defensive situation, trying to deflect her claws.

But she could only hold off for so long before Death Queen left a superficial slash mark on Umilia's forearm, making her stumble back with a grimace.

"Unnngh…" Umilia grimaced in pain as she saw the thin bloody slash marks on her forearm. On a casual look, these injuries were supposed to be nothing to her, but for some reason, it was causing her distress.

She could see that these small yet long slash marks were not closing up and felt a chilling sensation spreading through her arm.

She had to circulate her odic force consciously towards that forearm to quickly seal her injuries and heal them. As she expected, Death Queen's hands had something odd about them.

"Quit struggling already," Death Queen said with a sneer as she made two slashing motions in the air with her hands, manifesting ten long jet-black blades of energy in the shape of 'X' as they shot towards Umilia.

Umilia's eyes widened as she quickly put forward her sword as a brilliant white light shone from the tip of her blade, dispersing some of the energy blades.

Unfortunately, the brilliant light was not powerful enough to disperse all the energy blades as some of them shot past Umilia's sword and struck her, blasting her towards the other side of the wall.

"Unngh!" Umilia coughed out blood as she quickly put up her arms to brace herself, using her odic force to absorb the brunt of the attack. But she could only gather so much odic force in the nick of time as her body absorbed the rest of the brunt force, making her crash through the walls before falling into the next room.

Umilia's beautiful white veil was dyed in a bloody red, but she swallowed the blood in her mouth as she slowly got up, not willing to give up. If she gives up here, she wouldn't be the only one ending up in trouble.

A slender figure came out from within as the dust from the rubble settled down, "Still standing? Impressive but futile…" Death Queen coldly said, as if she was talking to a dead woman, and continued, "Time to end this," As she said this, an intense, powerful jet-black energy began to manifest in her hands that even seemed to breakdown the air around her and Umilia frowned, wondering if she would be able to stop her next attack.

Still, she didn't stop subtly gathering whatever odic force she could to counterattack.

Death Queen was so eager to kill the Saintess because of how pure the life force within her body was. It was so hard to come across someone with such a pure odic life force, and surely absorbing her life will boost her strength by a lot.

"See you in hell!" Death Queen muttered as she raised her hands to release the powerful jet-black energy she had gathered in her hands.

But at the same time…

*Boom!*
