Smiling slightly, s.h.i.+ro took a step back as Nostic appeared in front of her.

A trail of grey steam escaped his hands and she immediately noticed that it was corroding the mana that was near it.

'Hou… I probably shouldn't let that hit me.' s.h.i.+ro mused to herself as she summoned her sword and swung towards Nostic.

Narrowing his eyes, Nostic stomped his foot down and a hole was eroded beneath him.

With his body suddenly dropping down, s.h.i.+ro's sword missed its mark.

"Oh my." s.h.i.+ro commented while summoning a second sword to her side.

A tier 6 magic circle expanded out beneath her as she enhanced both her swords with Celestial path and stabbed down into the ground.

*PING!!

Shattering the magic circle into pieces, s.h.i.+ro flipped back as Nostic tried to grab her ankles.

"Oh pervert. You actually tried to look up my skirt." s.h.i.+ro joked around and Nostic could only shrug his shoulders.

"Would you believe me if I said it was a mere coincidence?" Nostic asked as he slammed his hands down.

Suddenly, a snake created entirely from the grey smoke appeared and lashed out towards her.

Looking at the giant serpent, s.h.i.+ro only chuckled and crouched down slightly. Cleaving up with her sword, she split it in two with ease.

"I suppose I would believe you if you say it was a mere coincidence." s.h.i.+ro replied as Nostic arrived by her side, not giving her a chance to attack him since he understood that if she landed an attack, he'd be heavily injured.

Twisting his body, he kicked towards her ribs but s.h.i.+ro guarded against the strike with the face of her sword and used her spare sword to act as a support and prevent her from being moved.

Adapting to the situation immediately, Nostic kicked off the blade and used it as a vault to jump into the air.

Activating two quick spells which didn't let s.h.i.+ro have the time to cancel them, two streams of dark magic surged towards her.

Pivoting on her foot, s.h.i.+ro enhanced both her swords and slashed out in a circle.

Cutting apart the magic, s.h.i.+ro wanted to step forward but just as she did this, Nostic appeared behind her and activated a tier 6 spell that he had been preparing for a while.

'There's no time to cancel it.' s.h.i.+ro thought to herself and activated her celestial mirage.

s.h.i.+fting her body to the side, s.h.i.+ro watched as a thin beam of enemy suddenly cut through her illusion and corroded it away in an instant.

"Oh my, how dangerous." s.h.i.+ro commented as Nostic understood that it was an illusion since it corroded far too fast for someone of s.h.i.+ro's strength.

Without a moment's delay, he turned his body and slashed towards her using the beam of energy.

Bending back, s.h.i.+ro managed to dodge the strike and kick his wrist which forced the blade to move up.

Frowning slightly, Nostic twirled the blade before stabbing himself in the chest with it.

Grey smoke exploded out and wrapped around his body which solidified into a set of armour.

With a single gesture, the entire ground in the isolated s.p.a.ce turned grey and s.h.i.+ro understood that it was a domain of sorts.

Slamming her hand down, a layer of ice spread out but was corroded away.

Seeing the corrosion on her hand, s.h.i.+ro casually cut off the corroded parts and regenerated her flesh.

Wrapping her boots in a layer of mana enhanced with celestial path, s.h.i.+ro stood on the corrupted ground without any problems.

Feeling a surge of mana originating from Nostic, s.h.i.+ro noticed tens of tier 6 magic circles appearing all around her.

Tier 6 Destruction magic!

s.h.i.+ro immediately noticed what cla.s.s of magic it was and created enough needles enhanced with celestial path.

Sending them out, she was mildly surprised to see the mana begin to corrode which in turn cancelled out her celestial path.

Widening her eyes in surprise, s.h.i.+ro immediately decided to use something that she had been testing.

Eyes of Gorgon + a.n.a.lysis + Celestial Path!

'Petrifying' the formation of the spell for a moment, her a.n.a.lysis spotted the weak points and destroyed them with celestial path. However, it only worked on spells within her sight so it didn't activate on the spells behind her.

Even if she was to turn around now and try to use the skill, it wouldn't be able to halt it in time.

Pus.h.i.+ng her hand back, a wall of ice erupted out of the ground as s.h.i.+ro made sure to construct it in a way so that it was as hard as possible.

Surprisingly, nothing happened as Nostic appeared in front of her and slammed his foot against her stomach.

Slamming her against the ice wall, he pulled his hand back and summoned a sword from his inventory before slas.h.i.+ng towards her neck.

"How smart, actually using that as a bait for me to s.h.i.+ft my focus." s.h.i.+ro grinned.

Phasing through the ice, she appeared on the other side and slammed her palm against the surface.

With a giant wall of ice slamming into him, Nostic gritted his teeth and corroded it away in an instant.

Taking a deep breath, he a.n.a.lysed the battle so far and knew that s.h.i.+ro was revealing just enough strength to cope with what he has to give so as to not end this quickly.

Feeling a little thankful for granting his wish, Nostic grabbed his sword and swung it towards s.h.i.+ro. Releasing a blood red blade of energy, he jumped back and pushed both his hands together.

*PING!

Hearing the energy shatter apart like gla.s.s, Nostic was happy that it managed to buy him a little bit of time as mana surged towards him.

Opening his palm, a blizzard of grey ash exploded out and rapidly approached s.h.i.+ro's location.

Seeing this, s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes. The easy way out would be to use her rift since that can just dodge it with ease,

However, since this was Nostic's final fight, she'd entertain him a little, Activating her own tier 5 magic circle, a torrent of snow erupted out and contested against the ash.

While this was happening, s.h.i.+ro flexed her fingers and ice chains lashed towards Nostic.

Frozen Slumber!

Quickly jumping back to avoid being frozen by the chains,

Grabbing them with his hands, he disintegrated them to ash as the individual particles morphed into needles and shot towards s.h.i.+ro.

Widening her eyes, s.h.i.+ro immediately summoned a second blizzard as the needles were blown away.

Quickly raising her sword behind her, she parried Nostic's strike before aiming her spare hand at his chest.

*BANG!!! PUCHI!!!

Sending out an ice spear, it pierced through his armour and chest.

Slamming against the walls of the isolated s.p.a.ce, Nostic coughed up a mouthful of blood before forcing himself to stand back up.

"Is this everything you've got?" s.h.i.+ro asked as Nostic only smiled and shook his head.

"Not yet. But if I use everything and end the fight quickly with you being disappointed, it would be quite sad." Nostic replied as his wounds quickly st.i.tched itself together.

Activating another self buff skill, a demonic aura erupted from his body as he abandoned all forms of defence.

Appearing in front of s.h.i.+ro in an instant, he reached towards her neck.

Parrying it with her sword, s.h.i.+ro was surprised that it disintegrated to ash so quickly and wanted to make some s.p.a.ce.

But just as she moved back, she felt a spark of pain in her hand and it shattered apart into blood and ash.

As the corrosion travelled up her arm, s.h.i.+ro didn't hesitate to cut off her arm from the shoulder down.

Life fire wrapped around her shoulder as she quickly regenerated her arm.

While this was happening, Nostic continued to launch a barrage of attacks towards s.h.i.+ro.

Understanding that each hit would corrode her, s.h.i.+ro focused her mind on dodging each strike.

Like a leaf in the wind, Nostic was just a little too slow and wasn't able to catch her at all. Each time his attack seemed to land, she would always get away just in time. While it was frustrating, Nostic was enjoying himself since he was improving during the fight.

'Eliminate the lag between each hit, don't waste time. She's fast, faster than me, I can't be wasting time with dull movements. Become efficient!' He thought to himself as he continued to push his body to the limit.

Naturally, s.h.i.+ro noticed this as she could tell that his control was improving overtime.

Once her arm regenerated, s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes.

"I should attack now shouldn't I?" She smiled before summoning another sword.

Activating her boundary, time seemed to stop as Nostic's weaknesses appeared in her sight.

Flickering past him, Nostic was confused for a moment when he felt nothing but the pain was merely delayed as his cuts opened up all over his body. With his tendons cut, he couldn't help but collapse on the floor as his wounds were trying their best to heal but it was taking a little too long.

'So the gap was this big huh?' He thought with a smile but this didn't mean he was giving up.

Activating all of his berserk skills at once without care of the backlash, a cruel aura wrapped around him as his wounds were forcefully healed.
