Chapter 545 [545] Aura(5).

?The battle up above was brutal, although only on one side. No matter what the Night Lady tried, 'Alan' would always possess a counter to it. Sometimes, her entire a.r.s.enal of abilities was used against her!

The sight of her own special weapon, the arrow, being used against her was harrowing. What added salt to the wound was the fact she was unable to stop it at all! Her vortex was being suppressed by the other vortex belonging to Alan, and it felt as if her control on reality itself was slipping.

Such a thing was incredibly dangerous for a being of her caliber, whose senses were much, much greater than the average monster. Furthermore, she was a monster who wielded the element of s.p.a.ce and this was her own turf! To be beaten in that regard...and to such an extent was a slap across the face!

It was a humiliation! And yet, despite whatever she tried to do, she could not wrestle for more control at all! The barrier that had been set her surpa.s.sed hers by miles, and furthermore...

She could only try to stall the inevitable. Her grip of the element she had pride was being taken away from her, and she could do nothing to stop it. The vortex up above was like the blade of a guillotine, ready to be brought down to her neck.

The anxiety and fear that it would bring was immense, and now? It was multiplied.

As she tried her best to regenerate her arm...nothing worked! A surprise look appeared in her eyes as she stared at the remains of her arm, her regenerative capabilities were being suppressed, and this added to her frustration.

For the first time in the monster's life, it had been forced into a corner where escape truly seemed impossible.

In an act of defiance, she hefted the energy she had left and used it to open a portal, but it broke apart into multiple pieces due to the effect of the barrier...but this was actually her plan!

A spatial disturbance was created, and she used the shards of energy that were in the surroundings to attack the monster in front of her. But, the shards simply phased through his body.

Like it didn't exist, but was corporeal enough for her to see, and suffer its exact. It was a level of control she couldn't even fathom, and thus, she subconsciously began to back up.

Taking steady, but hurried steps. Contemplating at...

What is the best time to run?

Perhaps it was naive of her to think she could run when the beast in front of her was focused on killing her, but...there should be a chance, right? Her life was more important! Perhaps...if she could escape, then she could have a chance at revenge.

And thus, with that in mind, she unleashed a ma.s.sive amount of mana in the surroundings, one that caused the Earth to rise up and create a sort of smokescreen, using that, she ran.

Because the use of s.p.a.ce was limited here, she was only able to resort to this. Thankfully, she was a high leveled being, and thus her speed was incredible, furthermore, although her control of s.p.a.ce may be limited, her senses of it were not! If the monster behind her decided to teleport to chase after her, she could easily counter that with the help of her senses.

Or, those were her thoughts before her senses ran wild, sensing multiple portals appearing around her vicinity. A sense of alarm appeared from all sides, and her senses were being overwhelmed. She saw a portal open right in front of her, and saw the monster step outside of it.

She abruptly stopped, and just as she was about to chance direction her neck was grabbed with a fierce grip, enough to hurt but not damage the armor around her neck. Nevertheless, it was shocking.

The portals were real, but the monster that had stepped out of it was not! Instead, it was an illusion made by s.p.a.ce magic...the real one appeared right behind her! Making use of her sharp armor to try to cut the monster, she tried to escape. But at that moment, caught a glimpse of red from the corner of her eyes, coming right at her.

It took the form of a spear, and pulsed like...lava? Her eyes widened into a fearful glare as an intense heat appeared around her, cooking her alive.

But that was not even the worst of it! She could only look on helplessly as the spear of lava, as big as a bus, made its way over to her! The grip on the back of her neck made it impossible for her to escape the monster's grasps!

The lava spear slammed right into her, melting the armor on her body and merging the melted pieces of it with her burned skin, some part of the lava went as far as inside her body...but her face was the one that was most affected.

Unlike the armor of the rest of her body, the helmet on her head wasn't connected to her head...and when it was met with the intense heat of the red, blood-like lava it melted and the molten metal dropped to her face.

Guttural screams of pain rang out, drowned only by the sound of something burning and melting as the gruesome process continued, where her metallic armor was melded into different parts of her body, which was burned to the extreme. Thankfully, due to the severity of the burns, her nerves had long since died, and she couldn't feel pain...but that didn't mean she was alright with it!

Worse, she could do nothing as death inevitably approached.

The lava stopped, and the grip on her neck dropped her to the ground. Falling to her knees, her regenerative abilities kicked in and started repairing her body. Unfortunately, whatever power was preventing her from regenerating before was gone...and a gruesome cycle of pain ensued.

But that was not enough, 'Alan' grabbed her head with his two hands and used his strength to compress it.

She couldn't even scream, as the remains of her helmet were compressed, meeting her bones and cracking them, her skull fractured and brain matter, flesh, and eye fluid escaped the gaps in her helmet as... Alan clasped his hands together. The liquids drooped his hands and onto the ground as a 'thud' noise was heard.

The Night lady was dead, and she died a gruesome death...whether her face was beautiful or not, no one would ever know.
