Chapter 1557: A Mortal Dictates The Course (2)
After sealing the others away, Kintar poured her focus back onto the battle unfolding before her. She’d managed to establish her limits against Rias just now, and the results were actually...depressing. With how much she pissed him off – and she knew she did – she was sure he wouldn’t fall for her tricks again, especially since she couldn’t normally move as quickly as her two partners.
’And it’s just as I feared with the vermillion quality mana...’ she thought looking at her hand. She had it healed now, but the truth was, after using her hand infused with the special mana to attack, she’d been unable to use it again, as though it had...died.
Her soul and body couldn’t handle the power from the core being channelled from an external source. This was a fundamental of mana Kintar hadn’t experienced before; likely exclusive to this new core she’d created.
Kintar grinned.
This didn’t mean she didn’t have options, though.
She spared a moment to try and capture Uyuniya and Sila’s movements.
The Tower General had indeed been a Form User in his prime. His preferred fighting style had been revealed all the way back when he had hijacked Skullius’ body. He’d sacrificed the Discount Human’s mana core and even key skills for raw strength. In the current battle, however, it showed in how he held himself, matching Uyuniya’s sword strikes and exploiting every evasive manoeuvre Rias made to dodge them with simple but brutal movements and attacks.
’He’s adjusting to this unique property of the vermillion quality mana. He can probably utilise it better than I can at the moment and will probably start improvising, using other forms of powers different from the basic. His body has too much potential. Wasting it on punches and kicks would be distasteful.’ Kintar turned to Uyuniya. ’She’s testing the waters. She won’t use her Voided Undeath aspect as easily, likely because of how she expanded it. Should I get in on this Fundamental Barter too?’
The little monster thought about for a moment.
...She laughed. ’Nah. Not yet.’
