Chapter 889: Power Struggles
Awaki Musujime's mind raced through calculations. Within 0.6 seconds, the computations were completed, and Stiyl Magnus vanished from his original position. When he reappeared, he was only two meters away from Su Xiao!
For Stiyl, this level of coordination was a nightmare. Previously, the "Witch Hunt King" stood between him and Su Xiao, along with numerous magical traps he had set up in his former position. For Su Xiao, closing the distance with him was not simple.
However, an unguarded Stiyl found himself under Su Xiao's blade, with the long sword mere centimeters from his throat.
As the blade sliced through the air, a pale blue streak of energy trailed behind it.
Splat!
Blood spurted three meters high as Stiyl's head flew, his face frozen in disbelief. Neither the "Witch Hunt King" nor his numerous magical traps had served any purpose.
In a confrontation, Stiyl, though not Su Xiao's equal, could have held his own for several rounds. Given Su Xiao's current injured state, killing Stiyl would have required some effort. However, Stiyl's lack of understanding of Awaki Musujime's spatial abilities led to his demise under Su Xiao's blade. For Stiyl, his death was inexplicable.
In reality, Su Xiao and Awaki Musujime had practiced their coordination multiple times, determining the strikes' distances, positions, timing, and trajectories. Their training and planning culminated in this lethal effectiveness.
In the battle, Su Xiao only needed one strike to decapitate this genius magician from the British Puritan Church's special unit, Necessarius.
