Sinner System-Chapter 423: Sinners and Demonsbane (Part 2)

Point-of-View: Ariella Velle

———————————————————————————

"You know, maybe we should fight somewhere with plants next time, I still haven’t seen you use your Flora Control in battle," I mused thoughtfully, before firing out a roaring blast of Negative Energy, swirling with crimson flames.

Ira quickly flew up, the blast hitting the ground and erupting fiercely. As he evaded my attack, he unleashed a rapid beam of Ether down towards me.

I wrapped Negative Energy around my right hand and whipped my arm across, striking the incoming beam with the back of my fist as it closed in on me. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

As I deflected it away, I swiftly spread out my wings and zipping up into the air.

As I shot towards him, the Ether surrounding him began glowing brighter and brighter, erupting with a sharp, intense burst as I began to close in.

I swiftly fired out pressurized jets of Negative Energy from my feet while simultaneously crossing my arms in front of myself, his attack briefly slowing me down before I unleashed another burst of Negative Energy from my feet to propel myself forward.

I veered down as he unleashed a concentrated blast of Ether from his mouth, his gaze quickly shifting down in alarm as I zipped up towards him with a powerful flap of my wings and unfurled a rapid uppercut, striking his chin before he could react.

I flew back as he shakily swayed through the air, a dazed look on his face.

"Pretty sure you’re fast enough to have reacted to that. You had enough time to get your hands up and block it, or at least evade it enough so that I only ended up grazing you," I remarked thoughtfully.

"<Yes, I believe you’re right, my Lady. I shall do my best not to make the same mistake twice>," He nodded, before shaking his head and unleashing a bright, blinding flash of Ether, forcing my eyes shut.

Hm, he’s going above me...Ether gives off a fair bit of heat, and since I can sense and detect heat while using Blaze Ignition, he’s pretty easy to track.

I flew back as he fired a swirling Ether blast down towards me, evading it and whipping my arm across, firing out a slashing wave of Negative Energy towards him.

Looks like he managed to dodge it, and I should be able to open my eyes again soon.

As my eyelids slowly began to open, I swiftly veered across as he unleashed a rapid, drilling beam of Ether towards me, narrowly missing my right arm as I evaded the attack...nice, he increased the intensity to boost the speed of the attack.

I then fired out a shredding burst of Negative Energy towards him as my eyes opened, shredding his left bicep to ribbons as he reacted a fraction of a second too late.

I swiftly shut my eyes as he triggered another blinding flash of Ether, before opening my eyes again and unleashing a swirling blast of Negative Energy and crimson flames towards him.

The blast grazed his side, a grimace on his face as he just barely avoided a direct hit, before his eyes widened in alarm as I launched myself straight towards him with a pressurized burst of Negative Energy from behind me.

"[Super Accel Flame Lance]," I chanted as I began to close in on him, flames erupting and concentrating around my right arm in a sharp, narrow shape.

I unleashed a burst of Negative Energy from behind my elbow and drove my fist towards the middle of his chest with fierce thrust of my arm.

He weaved across to his left through the air, stiffening as my attack struck the top of his right bicep. The heat didn’t affect him much thanks to his High Elemental Resistance, but the sheer force of my attack was enough to tear through his skin and flesh, the bones snapping before I ripped his arm off.

A burst of heat erupted as I shot past him, his right arm falling off and plummeting towards the ground.

He then grimaced and rapidly spun around as I slipped behind him, opening his mouth and firing out a concentrated burst of Ether at me.

I just barely managed to cross my arms in front of myself in time, the attack slamming onto my gauntlets and pushing me back several meters through the air.

I unleashed a burst of Negative Energy behind myself while simultaneously spreading out my wings sharply to cancel out the momentum, right as a barrage of rapid, piercing Ether arrows came shooting towards me.

I fired out a pressurize Negative Energy blast off to my left, shooting myself across to the right, a few of the arrows grazing my left arm and side, trickles of blood starting to stream out, before getting evaporated.

Suddenly, I quickly swooped down as a wide, swirling sphere of Ether came shooting towards me, narrowly evading the attack.

Ira zipped down towards me with immense speed as the sphere crashed onto the barrier, an intense flash of light bursting out as the sphere erupted fiercely upon impact.

Ira drove his left fist down towards me, Ether concentrated around it, before the thrust of his arm came to an abrupt halt as my right arm shot up and grabbed his wrist before his fist could reach me.

The Ether around his fist abruptly faded as I sharply tightened my grip, before I swiftly snapped my arm across and hurled him away as he opened his mouth, starting to charge up Ether.

As he went hurtling across the air, he brought himself to a halt as he unleashed a burst of Ether behind himself, starting to regain his bearings as I quickly unleashed a relentless volley of Negative Energy blasts towards him.

His eyes widened before he formed a swirling mass of Ether in front of himself, my Negative Energy projectiles pinging off it.

He increased the intensity of the Ether shield as I began firing more concentrated and pressurized blasts at him, his focus fully on blocking my attacks.

I then veered down as I ceased my barrage, launching myself forward with Negative Energy bursts, before zipping up and spinning around, slipping behind him in about a second after I stopped firing, his focus still on maintaining his shield.

He stiffened as he sensed me behind him, glancing back as a defeated smile spread out across his face, as I grabbed the back of his neck.

"<It seems I lose again>."

"Mhm, seems so," I nodded, before unleashing a concentrated burst of Negative Energy from my hand, crushing the back of his neck, before he began to fade as he plummeted...
