Chapter 193: True Anti-Magic
Sun-young tasted blood and metal. Her coursing veins could be felt up to her heart.
Through the blood, sweat, and tears, she heard Jack’s voice. "What? Not you too..."
Her strength returned to her twice-fold! No, no...more! So much more! It was like several stacks of Stamina Surge came together and bolstered her muscles and dulled the pain. The lost-portion of Majin-ken was swiftly replaced by a black energy—by herself.
Sun-young opened her eyes and swung her sword. This time, it was Jack’s blood that spilled.
"What...?"
"Haaa!" Sun-young closed the minor distance between them as he staggered back. Her blade made contact and blood spilled once more.
A massive X-mark was cut across Jack the Ripper’s chest.
Sun-young planned to turn the X into an eight-sided compass and kept wailing at him. There wasn’t a thought in her eyes. She fought according to her instincts and blocked Jack’s half-hearted attempts to counter. His blade was impossibly heavy. Her solace came in the form of skill and balance. Even if his blows could rip her apart, they still had to adhere to the laws of physics.
The mana inside him spiked and as she anticipated black lightning erupting from the rapier. Her eyes were wide and open and she reacted right on time, leaping back and running adeptly. No crawling, no desperation, her eyes were laser-focused on him. Infinite stamina welled inside her muscles.
