Kaizen didn’t reply.
Instead, the veins on his arms glowed again. His nails darkened, his bones cracked. His body trembled like it was adjusting to something far too powerful for it to hold.
"You look like you’re being eaten from the inside out," she said.
Still no reply.
Kaizen’s fingers twitched, then he was gone again. In a flash, he appeared behind her, and before she could react, he drove his fist into her ribs, sending her flying across the realm like a bullet. She smashed through a massive pillar, tumbled through two other pillars and finally crashed onto the marbled floor, the floor cracking from the impact.
Velmaria stood slowly, hand on her ribs as she coughed. She was bleeding.
For the first time in years, she actually bled.
Her eyes lit with fury. "Fine. You want to fight? Then I’ll show you what a real monster looks like." She hadn’t a fight like this in centuries, one that actually made her wanna go all out.
She raised both hands. The ground cracked and the clouds moved as she summoned energy. Pure red mana erupted around her like fire.
But Kaizen didn’t wait for her attack to take effect, he lunged at her again, faster than before.
His punch collided with hers in mid-air, and a violent shockwave tore through the realm, ripping pillars from the ground and destroying the marbled floor beyond recognition.
