From afar, Ryder, who was floating in the sky, was dumbfounded for a long time; he wondered if that fight was still something humans could do; he quickly shook his head and focused on the figure below him.
At the moment, Kuina figure was extremely sorry; many injuries filled her body with blood oozing out them. Ryder was not easy to fight; any she did was faced with a fierce counterattack; her illusion seemed not to work on him. Ryder could be said to be a natural-born when it comes to manipulating lightning; the only person Kuina could say that could rivalise him would be the Drexia Empire's third princess, Artemia Eritrea Von Havens.
Ryder created a lightning spear in her right hand while wielding a sword in his left; he was about to finish Kuina when the latter finally made a move.
At the same time, Kuina's golden hair began to flutter, and her nails quickly extended to half a foot long.
Ryder felt the dramatic change in Kuina's
power. This change was not a level up, but it
seemed to be the activation of some kind of
bloodline power.
"Swoosh''
The illusion of a gigantic nine-tailed golden fox appeared behind Kuina, momentarily startling Ryder.
Kuina's figure appeared in front of Ryder in a split second. The latter disappeared and reappeared on the ground, believing that he would gain a few seconds yet Kuina followed him. Her claws made a terrifying sound in the air. Ryder parried with his purple sword. When the claws hit on the sword, there were sparks splashing around. Ryder's body trembled slightly, seemingly startled at the power that Kuina burst out at this time.
Tremors and cracks continued to appear on the
ground and Ryder momentarily lost sight of Kuina moving at lightning speed.
There were already a few thin blood marks on Ryder's face that emitted a burnt scent; he became highly irritated; how dare she ruin his handsome face. Roaring lighting burst out from Ryder's body; he had thought that with this move, the enraged Kuina would have fallen back or would have at least received some injury, even it was small, and yet what happened next shocked him; Ryder's soul almost escaped from his body.
Swoosh!
From behind her back, a tail shot out and clashed against the lightning that burst from his body.
Boom!
Fire and lightning clashed, producing an explosion that sent Ryder's body flying; however, just as his body started flying, another tail appeared from behind and wrapped around Ryder's leg, lifting him before suddenly slamming him against the ground.
Bam!
It was the same situation Maria experienced a few minutes ago; Ryder's face was thrashed against the ground, his mouth fell open, and blood flowed out.
''Roarrrr!"
From Kuina's mouth, an inhuman roar escaped, which momentarily froze Ryder's movement. The five tails behind Kuina joined together to form a pointy tip, and from the tip, a crimson light burst out, heading straight toward the frozen Ryder.
Ryder felt death getting closer to him and moved, but failed, his eyes became resolute lightning burst from his right hand, and the hand exploded, thanks to this, his body got pushed to the side, altering his fate of certain death.
Sii!
The ground near him was melted and was immediately turned into shiny stone. Ryder ground his teeth to fight against the intense pain when suddenly his eyes widened in horror.
''Fuck!" He cussed as a cheetah Kuina appeared above him, not giving him any second before her tails curled to form a giant fist pounded him hard to the ground.
BAM! Boom! BAM! Boom! BAM! Boom
Not once but thrice, Ryder, who was caught off guard, suffered a serious beating; his legs were distorted, his remaining arm bent in an odd shape.
''Cough! Cough!"
Ryder kept puking blood as his chest heaved up and down; his eyelids felt heavy, he wanted to say something. Still, his half-closed eyes abruptly widened for the second because, from the air, Kuina holding a giant fireball like a volleyball, smiled at him; this smile did not look beautiful at all; it sent a chill down Ryder's spine, Kuina's smile was full of bestiality.
The poor guild master vowed to never mess up with these girls ever again if he were to survive; his pride have been trampled, he never would have thought that he, a dignified guild master, a Level 160, would lose to a girl 50 levels less than him. If previously someone had said it was possible, except if it were for Eri, he would have said that this kind of joke was not funny, and yet he got utterly beaten up and was at the death door. He was prideful but not a fool; some people you could not afford to offend regardless of prestige, status, and power because once you do, you would suffer.
'I surrender.' Ryder weakly muttered in his heart, and yet those simple words saved his life, although the person himself seemed not to be aware.
The moment Ryder said those words in his heart, a sudden notification rang out, startling Kuina; her cloudy eyes regained their usual clarity, she canceled the giant fireball. A huge wave of fatigue assaulted her, making her body weak.
Ryder felt a huge relief even while not knowing what happened; he thought maybe Kuina had ruined out of stamina; either way, he was too tired, the Crimson League guild master closed his eyes and let go of his consciousness.
Shortly, Kuina followed; she fell from the sky face. First, her face got planted on the ground as she slowly started to lose consciousness; there was a smile on her lips as a huge notification was floating above her head.
[Ding!... Congratulations to player Ice Empress Alexia and Nine-Tailed fox Goddess for completing the hidden quest. Rewards will be issued once the two players regain consciousness.]
'It seems that bi- I mean Maria won somehow but lost consciousness. Well, I'm also tired.. Let rest and confirm the situation once I wake up.'
