The mysterious woman and Silveria appeared in a mysterious forest. The trees looked truly enormous and ancient.
''Who are you?" Silveria asked the moment they appeared.
The woman with crimson hair and crimson eyes stared at Silveria for a moment as if to scrutinize her.
Silveria snorted, feeling uncomfortable under those crimson eyes; her patience was reaching its limit. The woman's presence irritated her to no end; it was like when a child felt uncomfortable when another child came to snatch her toy.
Finally, the mysterious woman spoke.
''From your body, I could feel the remnants of that accursed race. How many years has it been? Too long, you are from a new race; they must have created after us.''
Just from these few words, Silveria has learned a lot, the fact that this mysterious woman knew about that crazy race, the origin of this race goes far back into the past, and most importantly, this woman was from an ancient race; she must have a lot of answers, answers were what they want, even so, there was something more important than that, firstly they must know the woman's true identity, to determine whether or not she was an enemy.
''You haven't answered my question. I will like one last time, who are you and what you want?" Silveria asked while releasing half of her power; space twisted, the gigantic trees started violently swaying.
There was a silence, facing that terrible energy capable of twisting space; the mysterious lady didn't react; her face didn't show any emotions before suddenly she burst into laughter.
''Hahahahaha! Sorry, I slept for so long that people seemed to have forgotten about me; if not, you won't be trying to intimidate me, junior. To answer your question, I'm what you want to be; I'll be taking your place.''
Silveria's face twisted; from the woman's words, she seemed to have understood something; the more realization hit her, the more angrier she became, how dare she ever think that? She must be tired of living, thought Silveria as more power exploded from her body, making the whole forest tremble.
''Time to teach you a lesson, it seems.'' The mysterious woman said before raising one of her hands, immediately following her action, the sky turned crimson, an extremely heavy killing intent manifested in the form of a gigantic being with six arms, each arm seemed to hold different weapons: spear, bow, sword, halberd, beads and a half-disc.
Suddenly, one of the weapons disappeared from one of the six arms to manifest into the mysterious woman's hand, the spear, she simply thrust the black spear forward, space broke apart, crimson storm was sent toward Silveria, this storm was so destructive that half of the forest was destroyed after its passage.
Looking at the incoming crimson storm that destroyed everything in its wake, Silveria simply snorted before a silver spear materialized in her hand, and she also thrust it forward; a simple silver beam was shot out of the silver spear and rushed toward the crimson storm. Normally, such a weak attack should have been swallowed by the terrible storm; however, it was not what happened. The silver beam the moment it clashed against the crimson storm, something unexpected happened, the crimson storm simply vanished as it had never existed in the first place.
Since its awakening, it was the first time the mysterious lady with crimson hair showed a surprised expression; she had never encountered this kind of ability even during the origin war. However, surprised was one thing while getting beaten up was another one, she calmly dodged the incoming beam, but to her dismay, this beam curved to strike her at the back.
''Humph!"
The mysterious lady snorted, immediately, she switched weapon, the black spear vanished to be replaced by seven beads, the gigantic shadow behind the woman adopted a prayer stance, the one you often see in Buddhist scripture, oke of seven beads detached from the others and emitted a bright light that blocks the silver beam.
A short stalemate happened between the bead and the silver bead for a moment before they simply offset each other.
Silveria had already arrived before the mysterious lady. This time she switched to another weapon, a silver sword; using this sword, she slashed at the mysterious lady; the latter blocked the strike with its sword without even turning back.
Clangs! Boom! Crack! Clangs! Boom! Crack !!!!!
Every time they clashed, a part of the forest would be destroyed, cracks would appear in the surrounding space; the two moved at breakneck speed and exchanged hundred of swords moved with no one gaining the upper hand.
''You are not bad, but time to get a little bit serious.'' The mysterious lady said, before raising her hand again, the sky turned crimson, the crimson moon appeared in the sky, a terrific killing intent manifested, ghosts wailed, space cried, the reality seemed to have lost its meaning, in this lonely world where the only thing alive was, the mysterious lady and Silveria, the former announced, it was an absolute order.
''Devour!"
Countless skeletons appeared to form a gigantic skeleton that stretched its hands to catch Silveria toward an eternal embrace; Silveria snorted and released all her strength.
Silver energy poured out of her body like an eternal spring; the silver energy formed a gigantic half illusionary Silveria that punched the skeleton.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Not twice but several times, the Illusionary Silveria punched the giant skeleton; the more punch the latter received, the more its body crumbled; people would have thought that Silveria was invincible with her ability to cancel magic; however, that wasn't totally right.
The mysterious lady never relied on this method to win; she was testing a theory to see whether or not Silveria's previous exploit was really real and seemed to be the real deal; she could really cancel any magic while it was really an exceptional ability it wasn't without flaw. And this flaw, the mysterious lady seemed to be aware of it.
The mysterious lady walked forward, yet she was already behind Silveria; it was even faster than Silveria's Accel ability.
''You know, although I'm surprised by your unusual ability, even if I can't use magic against you, my physical strength is enough to deal with you.''
