"I have this covered, and your intervention is not needed," Kireina said again.
"Is that so..." Noah said. "What if I interfere anyways? It's not like you can stop me. Nobody can."
"What makes you think I am weaker than you, Noah?" Kireina said boldly.
"Hah..."
Noah walked around, waving his head.
"Do you want to do this the hard way or the easy way?" Noah wondered.
"Let's do it the easy way," Kireina smiled.
"........"
The two stared at one another, their auras growing stronger.
"{Domain Creation}"
Both recited the same words, as the entire world around them twisted and warped around. TRUUUM!
The world around them changed instantly, revealing an empty world with no life, The Other Side. This was the "empty copy of the world" that Gaia, the Will of the Planet where Frank came from, manifests.
This way, civilians are protected from the battles of the wielders of the supernatural and the keepers of mystery.
"Shine, Excalibur."
FLAAASH!
Kireina's eyes widened as she saw Noah bring out a golden sword out of nowhere.
She never expected the Vampire Emperor of Abyss to actually just wield a holy sword of this caliber!
"A cosmic treasure..." Kireina said. "And you're suffering no penalties for this?"
"I'm going to try pushing this penalty nonsense to its limits," said Noah. "So become my punching bag until then. I would be lying if I said I don't have some frustrations I need to release somewhere. And you seem to be itching for a battle."
"Maybe," Kireina smiled. "Let's see how far much you can take from me, Noah." "Say no more."
FLASH!
Both of them reached one another without even waiting for a split second to pass. Noah's radiant blade swung down, capable of cutting through Outer Gods easily.
Kireina permeated her entire body with the power of her cosmic and chaotic energies, her Physique and her Psyche activating at the same time, strengthening her existence even further.
CLAAASH!
"Hm."
Noah instantly realized Kireina stopped his blade with her bare hands, which now had transformed, gaining purple scales and becoming metallic.
He noticed a powerful amount of chaotic and cosmic energies within it, forging her hands into a powerful...
Cosmic relic!
"I see."
This didn't even make him falter though.
With a single step forward, Noah swung his blade even harder than before as Kireina noticed his Aura fluctuating and flowing through every single vein of his body.
"{Lifeblood Exceed: Level 1}"
It happened too fast; Kireina's incredible durability and literal cosmic relic hands were...
SLAAASH!
Sliced!
"Ugh...!"
Kireina gritted her teeth as she saw blood splattering from her wounds, and glittering holy light consuming her flesh and inhibiting her regeneration.
"So this is how you won against the other Vampires."
Kireina nodded, instead of stepping back and getting some space for herself, she rushed forward.
"Fool."
She was within range.
With a single swing, thousands of slashes of light engulfed Kireina completely.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
The light was powerful enough to consume her very flesh and blood, Noah saw with an expressionless face as she was reduced to pieces.
"Hmph."
Yet...
FLUOSH!
Kireina's flesh and blood turned into pure miasmic chaos, engulfing him within an incredibly thin domain of tentacles and jaws.
"Useless."
SLASH!
Another slash was all he needed, Kireina's attempt at trapping him within her Devouring Domain ended being a failure, as she was reduced to pieces again.
"Annoying bastard."
Kireina quickly transformed again, every piece cut down suddenly turned into one of her, transforming into cosmic relics themselves.
They rushed forward against him, each droplet of blood, flesh, and bones, even innards, hitting him from every angle.
"I've fought against blood, flesh, and bone benders of all types, but nothing quite like this."
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Noah swung Excalibur with incredible precision and speed, every slash generated a hundred more, which encompassed his surroundings, creating a barrier of slashing attacks.
His attacks easily managed to intercept Kireina's entire body turned into cosmic ego maxima weapons, making them explode into pieces.
"The difference in power is too high."
With those words, Noah quickly decided to put Kireina in her place.
"{Primordial Blood Sea Domain}"
He conjured his Domain, as the blood of his very body surged like an endless ocean across his
surroundings.
Kireina rapidly reformed but noticed that there were now hundreds of foes around her, all of them the mighty beings Noah had defeated and then absorbed.
It even included Outer Gods, and Yog-Sothoth himself.
"Oho, that's quite something, wow."
"Kill her."
Noah gave an order, and all soldiers rushed towards Kireina, gigantic swords, spears, axes, beams of cosmic energy, void-devouring explosions, and all sorts of elemental attacks
bombarded her.
Yet...
"No."
With those words, Kireina's surroundings suddenly stopped, time began turning back, as Noah noticed his summons returning to his own blood, which also went back to his body.
"Time Manipulation."
Noah was also being subjected to it, as Kireina used the power she took from Shub-Niggurath
to manipulate the Time Essence of her surroundings, completely negatiny Noah's attacks.
"Interesting."
However, Noah forcefully moved through the time going backwards, rapidly beginning to
warp space and time around him.
Kireina's eyes widened, as Noah grasped the empty air and then...
Crack, crack...!
"I am beyond time."
CRASH!
The entire Time Reversal Spell was destroyed, as Noah literally shattered time to free
himself, making everything twist and warp even more.
Kireina took a small backlash, vomiting blood through all her bodies, which rapidly reunited,
a second before Noa's sword came down, splitting her once more.
SLAAASH!
"Come on, give me some time at least."
|| ||
Noah didn't say anything, his eyes glowing bright red with the intent to kill.
"I'll take care of you right now."
"Oh, so we're going for real now... I was holding back actually!"
"Don't make me laugh."
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Noah slashed time and space, splitting Kireina almost to the point of atoms...
Yet...
"Okay, fine."
FLAAASH!
Kireina's remains unified once more, forming a gigantic star that melted the building the two
were standing in a nanosecond.
BOOOM!
"She turned into a star?"
Even Noah was slightly surprised, rushing back only to be surrounded by dozens of crimson
stars constantly bleeding miasmic plasma.
And then...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
He was bombarded from every single angle.
