Chapter 667
Crash!
I lost track of how many times my wrist had broken.
Just withstanding the impact of the Void Sword was enough to shatter my wrist, shoulder, and arm. Without Tiamata’s healing power, I would have been killed in the follow-up attack from our very first clash.
I was no stranger to pain. Having died thousands of times in my dreams, I was intimately familiar with death. How could I not be used to pain?
Ellen slowly walked toward me as I lay on the ground, having been flung far away in our most recent clash. She wasn’t in a rush. Her calm, deliberate steps made it clear she believed I wouldn’t escape this battle.
Just like Ellen, I wanted to see this through to the end. I got up and approached her, neither rushing nor dragging my feet.
Ellen was surrounded by a blue aura and a faint grayish energy, and her slow, calm demeanor was suffocating.
In my dreams, I had never been able to defeat the Ellen I’d imagined. I believed the real Ellen would be different, even stronger with the power of those vengeful spirits.
I never underestimated her. I knew she would be stronger than I could ever imagine. But despite all this, I couldn’t bring myself to want to kill Ellen. I couldn’t even bring myself to entertain such thoughts. I believed I couldn’t give it my all.
But that was arrogance speaking. Even if I poured everything I had into it, using every resource available, there was still no way I could defeat Ellen.
Ellen, who had been gradually closing the distance between us, suddenly flew toward me, covering the remaining space in just a few swift steps as though she had teleported through space.
Boom!
