Chapter 319: Floor 70, the Fire Spirit King, Vishnu (2)
Taesan charged forward, cutting through the wind, aiming straight for Vishnu. She swung her arm, summoning flames that obscured his view.
He infused his sword with energy, slashing through the torrent of flames and clearing a path.
Without a moment's hesitation, he pressed forward, prompting Vishnu to swipe violently, her hand unleashing a spear of fire straight at him. Taesan parried, diverting the spear's trajectory with his sword.
*Fwoosh.*
Vishnu continued to release bursts of flame, filling the space with fire that seemed capable of burning the world itself.
Taesan paused his advance, assessing her calmly.
It was a probing match, after all. Both he and Vishnu held hidden cards. Revealing his hand first would give her an advantage, so he waited, hoping she would show her abilities first.
‘She’s an opponent who dominates space through control over fire.’
Yet, the difference in their strength meant her flames were not an insurmountable challenge.
“Apostleship... and the Vessel of the King...” Vishnu muttered, scowling. Taesan’s aura was undoubtedly above hers.
But she only sneered in response.
“I am a Spirit King. Your mere human rank cannot reach me.”
