Chapter 63: White Crescent (Part Two)
The white crescents stopped at nothing. Buildings were cut to ribbons, each one collapsing into neatly sliced pieces before crumbling into piles of dust and rubble.
Seeing no end to it in sight, the woman in red decided to take the risk and go on the offense once more. She focused her mind and accelerated the formation of her crystals then dashed forth with her Force Field cranked up to the maximum.
Successfully parrying and evading the sharp crescents one by one, she closed the distance between her and the maid in a matter of seconds. Despite using the full output of her Force Field she was still injured, and though the cuts were too shallow, they were enough to lead her to a terrifying conclusion.
’It can nullify Force Fields!!!!’
The realization validated her decision to get close.
Abilities capable of overcoming the nigh impenetrable Force Field were the subject of myths. Extending the battle against someone capable of using such Abilities was tantamount to courting death.
The best course of action would be to give the user no opening to use said Abilities and end the battle as fast as possible, and with her having already crossed the danger zone and arrived too close to the maid, that spear could no longer threaten her.
She expected her opponent to be stunned or terrified, but what met her was the calm expression of someone who had nothing to worry about. The maid had halted her movements.
The glowing blade of her spear was pointing up in preparation for a downward swing, but it hadn’t moved an inch.
