ENDLESS MYTH : Surpassing The Gods.

LITTLE PARADISE

"Before the fight began, let make things clear."

It was Natalie that was speaking.

"This fight is one where we don't need to hold back. But still, try to avoid instadeath blow since one of us died would basically in a war between our clan"

She paused and continued

"Also, since it's a fight for honor and not simply for point, the situation must be equaled. To give a chance to all sides."

"The Ring of this fight is in a radius of 3 kilometers from where we stand. This ring includes the forest and other such things. With such situations, Artemis will not be constricted by the small size of the arena."

"Apart from this, defeat will come to one who has all his reserves dry or is unable to fight anymore. If Emilio wins, he takes all the points of Artemis, the same if it's her who wins. That all I had to say. "

The tension came back. Emilio's head was full of thoughts right now. He needed to give his all. Jumping level to fight was nothing new for members of the nobles' families. But that was only normal when compared to normal people. What does it matter if you can jump one level to fight when your enemies can also do the same.

The same situation could be applied here. Natalie didn't exaggerate when she said that it was an impossible fight. But that would only be the case if the one Artemis was facing wasn't him.

He was a member of the Regulus. Since the creation of their families, the Regulus and the Sagittarius never had good relationsh.i.p.s. The greatest power of the Sagittarius was their attack while one of the greatest power of the Regulus was their defense.

If it wasn't because no myth relied the two constellations, it wouldn't have been strange if the two were mortal enemies.

As he held his sword with his guard raised, he began to think of all the solutions he could use. The result wasn't good.

He had no concept, as such even though his conceptual weapon was good, he couldn't use its full power. What more he had no way to fight back against her speed.

This was like having a plane. The plane could fly, but it couldn't fly if there were no pilots to use it. In the same way, without knowing a concept, it was hard to activate a conceptual weapon. Thankfully, even though he was still a little far from totally grasping it, he had some related knowledge about a concept he had always wanted to use.

Thankfully the situation wasn't totally bleak. The shoot she using against the legend rank nightmare wasn't something she could easily use, and even though she had somehow recovered her aether, it wouldn't be enough.

The use of a concept didn't only take into account the aether but all the power of the soul. She should still be tired and only able to use her super speed a few times.

This wouldn't be a long fight. He couldn't overpower her, and she was too tired to use her strongest abilities. The result of this fight will depend on who could hold out longer.

Emilio, who had been silent until now asked,

"Are you ready?"

"Yes I'm"

The moment she answered, he feels a chill, he didn't need to think, he fully activated his [HARD SKIN], and bore the hit that comes from behind him, at the time, with a single swing of his hand, his sword cleanly cut through the ground as well as everything that was less than five meters away from him. Despite the impressive display, he had a vexed expression on his face

(I didn't hit)

He didn't hit her. She managed to appear to his side with her two guns, glowing, ready to shoot another volley. Meanwhile, he was in a bad situation and couldn't move fast enough.

The result was clear, he was blown a few meters away. When he managed to get up, he saw her ready to use her rifle.

"Don't even think about it!!!"

He sprinted toward her at full speed. His body was covered by a cloak of flames that boosted his speed and strength.

"Tch..."

She stopped trying to get her rifle and simply took a few steps back in order to avoid his attack. At the same time, she once again activated her guns and began to shoot him without stopping.

"Ahaha, that won't even tickle me."

He simply laughed and rushed towards her, at the same time, he used his sword to cut most of the bullet and his body to block those he couldn't cut. But even though he was laughing and looking like it was easy, he was still thinking hard.

(If this was a game, Artemis class would be that of an archer, while I would be a berserker)

When he reached her and was cut into her, he didn't feel any resistance. That could only mean one thing.

(So it was an afterimage.)

He thought self depressingly. He turned around to see the situation but was surprised when he didn't see her. It was like she vanished into fine air.

He turned around fast, but he still couldn't find her. His heart began to beat wildly. He didn't know where she was, but it couldn't be good. If he lost sight of her for too long, then everything would be lost.

He took a deep breath to calm his heart. He couldn't let himself fall to panic, such behavior was unbecoming of a king. A king must hold himself with pride and confidence no matter what the situation and danger.

After calming himself, he began to use his [ENHANCED SENSE ] in order to find her, but to no avail, it was like she wasn't in this world around him. Did she flee? Impossible. There was no way someone like that would flee without acting.

He didn't know the exact name of the technique she was using, but he could understand the principles behind it. The only one to bring her out would be to use an omnidirectional attack. But just as he was about to use one, he feels a presence just beside him, followed by great pain. He was wounded, blood was slow to dyeing his clothes.

The previous analogy was truly apt. Sadly, he made one mistake. Even though she used a gun, her class wouldn't that of gunner but an assassin. Hunter's stealth should be top-notch. She was able to totally erase all presence and become basically invisible. People weaker than her wouldn't even be able to detect her even if she stood right in front of them.

The truth was here. He wasn't even able to catch her. By the time the feeling of pain on his right side fully registered in his mind, she had already once again vanished. This time though, he heard a voice coming from all around him.

"I must say, you're really strong for a hero rank. But at the end of the day, the difference between us isn't something that can be bridged with will and conviction alone"

Emilio didn't answer, he was still trying to find where she hid. Artemis, on the other hand, continued to speak

"I'm sure you must have thought that I had no way to pierce your skin without my rifle and that this fight would become one of endurance"

He flinched a little, she easily saw through his plan

"Sadly for you, my weapon is one who specializes in the piercing. Until now I only let normal shoots in order to gauge your power and not accidentally kill you. After all, I have never fought against members of your clan"

Those words made him greet his teeth. He was once again being looked down on.

"Also, let me give you advice, this isn't some cartoon show. When someone takes his time to do a monolog, that only means that he needs to buy time"

Finally, he felt fluctuations of energy above him. When he looked up, he was shocked. There, few meters above him she was slowly falling with her rifle in her hand emitting light

"I could slowly but surely make you lose by excessive blood loss, but that wouldn't be interesting."

After that, she shoots a light beam toward him. This light beam, divided into ten other beams and rushed directly toward him.

He frowned as he looked at them. Somehow, he knew that he would be unable to block him. But he didn't fear. She didn't use her [LOCK ON], so even if he couldn't block it, he could avoid it.

"[VOID CUT]"

The way of avoiding he found was truly stunning. He didn't move, he made the space around him move. By cutting the space around him, he created a cage that protected him by sending the beam in a different direction.

He may not know how to use the full power of the concepts blended in his sword, but with enough power pumped into it, a forceful activation was still possible. The problem was that it was truly taxing.

"Oh!!!.."

Artemis softly landed not far from him and looked with mild surprise at the space cut around him. Slowly, a smile of ridicule formed on her face. She raised one of her guns and aimed at him

"Once again you're lack of fighting experience and knowledge of constellations is showing. You dare to play around with space in front of a legend from the Sagittarius family?"

She didn't wait for him to speak and shoot. Emilio feels like his senses were failing him. The shot didn't collide with the space around him. It directly appeared right in front of him, piercing his skin and traversed his right foot.

He gritted his teeth in pain. How did she do it? Meanwhile, the space he cut was slowly mending itself. His power was too weak to let permanent damage.

"I'm sure you must be curious. Go back read your book. It doesn't matter how many concepts we want to learn, all members of my family must learn at least one concept related to space or time. One of mine is based on the same principles as [LOCK-ON]. I cannot ignore time, but distance up to a certain level his meaningless for me. "

He began to feel desperate, could he really do nothing against her?

" I can see what you're thinking. The very fact that you thought you could be my match is laughable. Now, let's end this farce"

She laughed maniacally, and with a sadistic smile, began to play around with him. The few minutes who followed were a true hell.

Natalie had to give it to her. This girl was really crazy. She was slowly carving out someone both physically and mentally, but there was no remorse in her eyes, only the kind of excitement a hunter would feel while cornering her prey. She even began to feel sad for the guy.

Sol didn't care that much. In fact, he didn't even pay attention to Emilio's state. He was purely analyzing the fluctuations in space. Space was an extremely powerful law, and any concept related to it was equally powerful. Still, he didn't know if it was the right way for him.

Finally, after the last bullet, Emilio slowly collapsed. His mind was blurry. From the pain, from the sadness, from the humiliation.

(So, is it as far as I can go? Can I say that I gave it all? Is it enough? No!!!)

Just have he was about to completely fall, he put a hand to block it. Afterward, putting more strength in his tights, he began to rise.

Artemis looked at him with shock. The derision slowly faded from her face. Emilio was drenched in blood and divers wound could be found on his body. For him to still refuse to give up after all that was worthy of respect. That why she said

"Why don't you give up? I still have enough energy to fight like that for a long time. Transferring my bullet across space is not as tiring as doing it with my body"

Emilio acted like he didn't hear her. He touched his bandage on his right hand and began to untie it.

"I didn't want to do it. I wanted to win without having to use it. But you're too strong"

Artemis began to feel goosebumps on her body. Whatever he was doing, she couldn't let him finish or it will be bad. Sadly for her, he didn't let her the time to move and directly destroyed the bandage.

The very moment it was destroyed, a black energy emanated from him, followed by the roar of a lion.

ROOOAAAR !!!!!!

Sol let a big smile. It seemed like things became even more interesting.
