Chapter 4215

Su Xiao walked out of the Void Base, and immediately saw the Abyssal Dragon circling in the sky, as well as the Shadow of the Dark Tide, Avelia, on its back, while on our front line, the Sun Legion was frozen in time; of course, the Shadow of the Dark Tide, Avelia, could easily kill these Sun soldiers, but the problem is that after this, Sun soldiers would be reborn under the sunlight.

Compared to endless slaughter, this is now the fastest way to deal with the Sun Legion, as the Abyssal Army swept past both sides of the Sun Legion, causing our defensive pressure to surge.

The Ancient Dragon King scattered large amounts of dragon blood in the sky, that is, the Ancient Dragon King; for other peak cultivators, receiving such a supreme strike would mean certain death, but seeing that over seventy percent of the Ancient Dragons present had been struck down, it is clear that peak versus supreme is truly too difficult to withstand.

Su Xiao placed one hand on the hilt of his blade, and the "Blade Domain" spread, causing all Abyssal species within several kilometers to have blood blades pierce out of their bodies, which is because the current erosion level in the Void is too high, boosting the Abyssal Army's defense; otherwise, the "Blade Domain" would continue spreading until it covered half of the Void.

One blood spear after another burst out of the body and shot toward the Abyssal Dragon in the sky; the Abyssal Dragon's flight speed increased under the boost of supreme power, but Su Xiao, standing amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, had already begun to draw the long sword at his waist.

At this moment, although clearly over ten kilometers away from this Extinction Law-user, the Abyssal Dragon felt a creepy sensation,

as if something terrible would happen in the next instant.

Clang—

A single draw-and-cut slash, at this moment the Abyssal Dragon flying in the sky felt death, close at hand, death rushing toward its face.

Clang!

The crisp sound of spear and slash colliding appeared out of nowhere; the Shadow of the Dark Tide, Avelia, remained standing on the dragon's back without moving,

she had merely briefly returned to the instant before the Abyssal Dragon was slashed, the spear's blade meeting the slash, preventing all of this,

and then returned to the main timeline.

Actually, the Shadow of the Dark Tide, Avelia, cannot arbitrarily interfere with the "main timeline"; simply put, every minute and second passing now is the main timeline, and her ability tends more toward changing the future.

Assuming that reversing the main timeline at this moment"'s events consumes 10, then changing the past consumes 50, and the further back one goes, this consumption increases by a hundredfold, thousandfold; conversely, if interfering with the future, the consumption is only between 1 and 3.

"You've worked hard, rest first—

Boom!

Wind pressure struck the face; previously, in combat, it was a fifty-fifty chance against a strong enemy, but now it gave her a completely different feeling, her pupils rapidly contracting, but the enemy would not give her time to figure out the reason.

Clang!.

Long blade and war spear clashed; Avelia's crimson cloak was blown into loud flapping, and she suddenly felt a tremendous force transmitted from the weapon.

With a boom, Avelia flew diagonally downward; since she was on the dragon's back, she immediately pierced the Abyssal Dragon, blasting out from its belly.

Clang!

Although only a single slash, the slash mark appeared from head to tail on the Abyssal Dragon's massive body; it let out a yuan cry as it fell downward; needless to say, the Abyssal Dragon's defense is indeed astonishing, having withstood Su Xiao's slash without dying; of course, this is directly related to the supreme power Avelia left on it.

The Abyssal Dragon crashed heavily onto the chaotic battlefield; though not dead, it struggled up like a dying ember's last flare, angrily flapping its dragon wings to swat nearby combatants into mincemeat; suddenly, as if the supreme slash power within its body erupted, it raised its roaring dragon maw and spat out an exaggerated amount of dragon blood, then collapsed with a boom.

As for saying the Abyssal Dragon is entirely treasure, on such a battlefield, no one cares about this matter; by the time the battle reached this stage, peak powerhouses say death comes as they wish; going back ten or even more great eras, there has never been such a brutal Abyssal/Elemental war.

The peak powerhouses on both sides of the battlefield have gone mad with killing; this is a battle where only you die or I live, with no other possible outcome.

A crystal spear over ten meters long and half a meter thick shot forth, immediately piercing the Abyssal Dragon and nailing it to the ground, blue electric arcs surging along the crystal spear.

After the Abyssal Dragon was completely "body-dead," its vertical pupil slowly moved, quietly observing, discovering that the Extinction Law-user no longer paid attention to it, its vertical pupil began to dim.

It could finally die; as for the Abyssal Dragon's dignity and pride, heh, there is something no one knows: this Abyssal Dragon, Gore Matose, was actually the former Abyssal Lord, that is, the old king's dragon mount; as long as it lives, there is always a chance to regain its prestige.

Moreover, having fought to the death against the Extinction Law's Shadow, Kukulin Bai Ye, this battle record is extremely formidable, alright; as for what specifically happened during the battle, you don't need to manage it, whether it was a death battle or not, and whether this "death battle" is just an abbreviation? The full name is: "A battle where one was nearly cut to death by a single blade."

In the previous Abyssal battle, the Abyssal Dragon came through like this; later in the Star Realm, who felt its dignity had declined? Obviously not; under these circumstances, the Abyssal Dragon on the battlefield died more truly, its body emitting translucent gray ash-like soul mist.

Just as the Abyssal Dragon prepared to pass away, its peripheral vision suddenly saw a figure; this figure was four and a half meters tall, its entire body rising with black smoke; the Abyssal Dragon instantly recognized it, this is the Gluttony Original Sin! Though not those "unknowable existences of terror," and not a power of the same system, this is also an Original Sin power of the Abyss, one of the higher powers in the Abyssal system.

Worse still, having just nearly been severed by causality, it now cannot move, compounded by the surging Qing Qing Qing Gang Ying ability within its body, this is truly a genuine supreme power, its attached paralysis effect being too unsolvable.

What the Abyssal Dragon does not know is that this is the paralysis effect of Su Xiao's Qing Qing Qing Gang Ying energy, which has never been this effective before.

However, there is one thing the Abyssal Dragon finds comforting: the gluttony ox's body is not large, the opponent can at most devour part of it, it can then seize the chance to return to the Abyss, leaving only flesh and shell; as the saying goes, leave the soul body, and there is no fear of lacking a chance to rebirth,

but the next second, what the gluttony ox did made the Abyssal Dragon furious.

Am's hand grabbed the Abyssal Dragon's dragon hide, and with one pull, a chunk of flesh as large as a four-story building was torn off; Am stuffed it into his mouth, and this huge piece of flesh, as if sucked in, entered Am's mouth; after satisfyingly chewing, he gulped it down with a gloop.

The Abyssal Dragon trembled with fury; if not for having been struck by that supreme fire law's blade, its soul would have been completely numb,

causality having been somewhat shattered, it would certainly have flicked its dragon wings to fling this gluttony ox to the horizon; the opponent had indeed consumed a large amount of Abyssal power, but it was still far from the peak realm.

When the Abyssal Dragon successfully completed the detachment of its soul body and returned to the Abyss, it had already been eaten by Am to the extent of one-half.

On the chaotic battlefield, Su Xiao and the Shadow of the Dark Tide, Avelia, were several kilometers apart; although the surroundings were in chaos, the supreme domains faced each other; in the next instant, a crimson war spear had already reached Su Xiao's throat, even piercing his skin; if speaking of speed, the Shadow of the Dark Tide, Avelia, is unquestionably the strongest; "Time Slice" makes distance meaningless.

Pfft~

Droplets of blood flew; Su Xiao entered the "Boundless State"; no, Dragon Shadow Flash is not entering the "Boundless"

that simply.

【Dragon Shadow Flash: Lv. EX (Active Skill).】

Skill Effect: Can instantly penetrate "Star Realm Region/Abyssal Region/Elemental Region" and move 300 meters, 0

meters to 300 meters freely selectable.

Note: Dragon Shadow Flash cooldown time is 30 seconds.

Note: Each use of Dragon Shadow Flash consumes 10% of Qing Shadow King energy (i. e., 71042 points of Qing Shadow King energy).

Note: After penetrating "Star Realm Region/Abyssal Region/Elemental Region," entering the "Boundless State" can be maintained for 0.01 to 1.8 seconds (determined by the user's will to decide the penetration state duration); unless the enemy also enters the "Boundless," during the "Boundless State" duration, you will not be affected by any attack.

Theoretically, the ability of "Dragon Shadow Flash" is as such, but this ability has an unexpectedly high upper limit; when reaching a single consumption of 70,000 points of "Qing Shadow King energy," its effect undergoes a qualitative change, allowing Su Xiao to penetrate into a "Void State," truly exempting him from attacks, even those from peers of the supreme realm.

Speaking of which, after reaching the supreme realm, whether it is a "damage reduction" or various defensive traits, they will be penetrated by same-realm enemy mechanisms; the rank of "damage reduction" is extremely high, even on par with "true attack" and "absolute defense," belonging to the top tier, but even the top tier has internal rankings; "true damage" is the eldest among them, while "damage reduction" needs to be ranked much lower.

More clearly stated, "damage reduction" is achieved through one's own body-energy, temporarily communicating with the power of the Star Realm,

thereby borrowing the power of the Star Realm to help oneself share the borne damage; "damage reduction" can be broken, as long as the enemy's power can be strong enough to pierce the Star Realm, naturally succeeding in breaking it; before the supreme realm,

"damage reduction" only existed in theory as breakable; now, it has entered the practical stage.

Bad news: accumulating to 95% "damage reduction" will be completely pierced through.

Neither good nor bad news: only the supreme realm can achieve this.

Good news: the "Extreme Realm Body Defense Rank" and "True Resistance" will not be pierced through; this is the ultimate defensive rank; the former can be regarded as the "body defense power" when at the supreme realm, the latter is all-resistance;

Having these two protections, one can withstand all types of attacks; Su Xiao currently has these two bodily attributes as:

Extreme Realm Body Defense Rank +414.

True resistance 6645 points.

Simple and unadorned yet incomprehensibly powerful.

After the crimson war spear brought out specks of blood, it pierced through Su Xiao's neck, and Ayawra knew the situation was dire; this degree of virtualization left her unable to attack, fortunately the enemy's bodily energy had clearly been depleted somewhat, indicating this ability could not be used many times.

Ayawra instantly returned to her position five seconds ago, with a whoosh, the wind pressure was biting; she was about to rewind again to avoid this strike, but the intense consumption of "Time Power" made her immediately give up, having been locked on by the technique master; if she forcibly rewound, the remaining "Time Power" would be insufficient to sustain the subsequent battle.

Yu!

Dragon-Slaying Flash turned translucent blue, as if wrapped in a layer of crystal; one slash down, this strike consumed 50% of "Azure Shadow King Energy," enormous consumption, yet this strike carried the volume of 552 "Soul Life Cores."

Facing this strike, Ayawra suddenly felt a chill penetrating to her spine, but having been locked on by the ultimate master to this extent, even she could not escape using "Time Power"; she could only harden her defense.

At the moment the long blade struck the crimson war spear, the surroundings fell silent instantly; centered on the two, the deep-abyss races shattered silently, they were simply evaporated by the immense impact force.

Boom!

The earth trembled and sank for the first time.

Boom!!

The earth rumbled a second time and sank, cracks covered the battlefield, and even one-third of the void region's earth was covered in cracks.

Boom!!!

Ayawra turned into a afterimage and flew backward, she violently smashed through the distant dark fortress behind her; all members of the deep-abyss legion inside the fortress instantly turned into blood mist from the impact; fortunately, the three leaders of the deep-abyss legion were inside the Crimson Fortress, otherwise this would have killed one or two of them.

Behind the dark fortress, beneath the towering yet cracked celestial wall reaching to the heavens, Ayawra's chin dripped with blood, her arms too, and beneath her feet was a pool of blood; in her narrowed eyes was bewilderment toward the enemy; she considered two possibilities.

1. The enemy did not go all-out last time; the strength displayed then was to paralyze her, waiting for a good enough opportunity to slay her.

2. In such a short time, the enemy had risen from their strength in the previous clash to their current combat power.

Without needing to weigh, Ayawra confirmed it was the first guess; as for why not the second, if such an absurd thing truly happened, Ayawra felt the certain victory of this deep-abyss campaign now carried risk.

Ayawra looked at the "Blood-Oath Covenant" in her hand, this weapon that had accompanied her for years, now only half remained.

Releasing the crimson war spear, Ayawra crossed her arms and drew two sharp but not insubstantial blades; compared to her old companion "Blood-Oath Covenant," these "Twin Moons" were actually stronger, though the twins were more aggressive and came from chaos, possessing the strongest "Devouring Annihilation" trait; one blade down, piercing anywhere creates a huge pit.

Unconcerned with the consumption of "Time Power," Ayawra immediately rewound to before enduring the enemy's strike, returning to the chaotic battlefield; Ayawra suddenly felt something off, her vision suddenly spun and lowered, prompting her to instinctively grab with her hand, successfully seizing her own skull.

The intense pain throughout her body convinced her she had endured multiple slashes, and causality was beginning to show signs of fragmentation; worse still, her bodily energy was completely depleted; if not for "Time Power" not belonging to bodily energy, it would have been burned away entirely at this moment.

Rewinding again, this time she prepared to return to one second prior, but in the sudden crisis, she pulled this time back to five

seconds prior.

With a wow, Ayawra spat out blood; five seconds ago was just after enduring the enemy's strike, flying to beneath the celestial wall.

These past five seconds, and the three seconds after returning to the battlefield, especially those three seconds, must not be touched again; that was three seconds during which the entire star realm was affected; in total, these eight seconds were death time; but if she continued consuming "Time Power" this way, she could not engage in combat with this fire mage.

Bodily injuries vanished, Ayawra returned to the battlefield; there is one thing not to misunderstand: Ayawra is not controlling the entire star realm's time back and forth; she is switching her own time, thereby altering her state.

Ayawra stood unharmed facing Su Xiao, but she herself knew her bodily energy had been burned away,

and her causality had been somewhat shattered; both could not be made up for through "time rewinding"; this was already a fact spanning past and future, having been cut by several strikes from this ultimate master before her.

Existing in the time plane, completely hidden in form to Ayawra, gazing at the opposing spell-breaker, suddenly, the spell-breaker looked toward her; this made Ayawra's grip on her sword hilt click-click, this enemy was practically the most unfathomable existence she had ever encountered.

At first glance, this spell-breaker only fought with the long blade in hand; but having never faced him directly, one would never know the helplessness after confronting this one person and one blade; Ayawra's all time-affecting abilities struggle to affect the opposing spell-breaker, and would be severed by his blade's power.

Time being severed, if spoken of in the past, would provoke laughter; but now it truly happened.

This is an enemy who appears to have a simple combat style but actually has no weaknesses.

The same applies to offense: the opponent's attack is simply raising the blade and slashing down—this simple attack pattern has nearly become Ayawra's nightmare; all her abilities will be severed by it; just moments ago, that spell-breaker unleashed a full eight seconds of "Death Time Zone," especially the latter three seconds, which are an absolute dead zone.

"Time·Travel."

Ayawra sliced open the world ahead and leapt into it.

Ultimate Blade·Azure Shadow King.'

Clang!!

With the Azure Shadow King's附带 slash, time travel was violently shattered; Ayawra stared in shock as she flew backward a distance, then half-squatted to the ground holding her pair of long, sharp blades.

The time gate ahead was already in ruins; Ayawra slowly exhaled, her heart calmed, her aura erupted, the ultimate darkness and time power merged; she needed to withstand a few seconds of close combat, because the enemy had shattered the "Time Gate," causing all her time-based abilities to temporarily fall silent.

With a boom, Su Xiao suddenly appeared before Ayawra, his right hand raising the long blade over his left shoulder, transforming into the gold-blue Dragon-Slaying Flash, a maximum-force strike.

Ultimate Blade·Azure Shadow King.'

Ayawra vanished in place; she, blocking with dual blades, flew backward at high speed, her dual blades already shattered, leaving only the hilts.

She slammed heavily into the celestial wall; before Ayawra could rise, the spell-breaker she fought had already appeared, his eyes blackened from erosion by deep-abyss energy during battle; this did not weaken him but rather intensified the villainous boss aura of this red-eyed spell-breaker to the fullest.

Ultimate Blade·Azure Shadow King.'

The gold-blue long blade slashed down; beneath the celestial wall, the half-squatting Ayawra raised one hand, forcibly using time-system abilities to cause cracks to appear on her neck and cheeks.

"Time Echo."

'Counterflow.'

'Cause-Effect Reversal.'

"Time-Stop Moment!"

Four time-system abilities, three反伤, one ability to forcibly stop the enemy, all unleashed by Ayawra with one hand.

Pa-pa-pa-pa!

All four abilities were shattered by斩爆; at this moment, Ayawra's four hearts all contracted, and the cracks on her face became denser.

"Time Gate!!!"

With a boom, Su Xiao's slashed long blade finally slowed down; yet even so, the stationary time power field around it emitted a strained sound, like a wail, revealing what it had endured.

A pitch-black spike appeared in Ayawra's hand; this object is about thirty-plus centimeters long, about as thick as a little finger, covered in孔洞; this is "Eternal Night," being pierced by it will immediately exile one to the depths of chaos.

With a whoosh, "Eternal Night" flew past Su Xiao's face; he actually sidestepped to avoid it—truly absurd; within Ayawra's supreme domain, Su Xiao's speed was still not slow.

The Blade Domain had long appeared; the two domains canceling out left Ayawra unable to slow Su Xiao's descending strike; as for why she did not seize the opportunity to evade and leave this position, she also wondered; the problem was being locked on by the ultimate master, making evasion impossible; this feeling of being firmly squeezed by the surrounding star realms, no matter where she evaded, would not disappear; the best choice was to meet force with force.

Ayawra bare-handed met the Dragon-Slaying Flash's blade edge; at the moment of contact with the blade's edge, her eyes flared crimson to the limit; she wanted to maximally rewind the Dragon-Slaying Flash, sending it back to before it became a "Heirloom Blade"; she was certain no technique master's weapon is born a "Heirloom Blade" upon forging; this presented an opportunity.

Once the Dragon-Slaying Flash is rewound to no longer being a "Heirloom Blade"—that is, downgraded from "Transmigration Level" temporarily to "Origin Level"—then with Ayawra's strength, she could instantly snap the Dragon-Slaying Flash.

Boom—

Su Xiao kicked straight, hitting Avila's abdomen; Avila's plan failed, she slammed into the rear boundary wall and immediately bounced back, leaving splattered bloodstains in the air along the way.

Avila's pupils trembled; she truly felt despised and couldn't understand why someone would develop a combat system like this. As a supreme being, shouldn't there be some utterly unfathomable abilities that make the peak unreachable?

Time, abyss, elements, even mastering a rule power, using the long sword in hand to forcefully slash— isn't this a move ordinary people can use? Why— why has it been developed to such an exaggerated extent, even becoming capable of cleaving time-based systems?

Gazing at the annihilator within arm's reach, Avila knew she had to unleash her abyss-system supreme's ultimate killing move.

Abyss Gaze.】

Avila's eyes turned pitch black; at this moment, Su Xiao felt as if he were at the bottom of the abyss, rejected and strangled by the entire abyss.

Su Xiao felt a sharp pain surge from within his body; blood flowed from his mouth, nose, and ear canals. Avila seized the opportunity to distance herself from him.

"Hah, hah," Avila's breathing was slightly ragged as she said: "Uncomfortable, huh? Your life core suddenly lost over half— this was originally prepared to send you to your funeral."

Avila looked at Su Xiao, but soon her expression began to change.

Because opposite her, Su Xiao touched the blood beneath his ear; the blood had already stopped and turned into blood mist, making him seem unharmed. Just now, this strike shattered 420 of his life cores— one could only say this abyss-system ability is indeed powerful, causing him to lose nearly a quarter of his life cores. Seeing that he still had over 1300 life cores left, hmm, this supreme-realm opponent's attack is indeed extremely dangerous.

Su Xiao never speaks idly during battle; he suddenly stepped forward and slashed downward with a blade.

Extreme Blade · Azure Shadow King.】

Avila's expression control nearly broke; when she was first struck by the "Azure Shadow King," she knew this was a ultimate-level ability, and such power was normal.

But when the enemy slashed out the second stroke "Azure Shadow King," Avila felt this guy was a bit arrogant, actually using such high-intensity ability consecutively. When the enemy then slashed out the third stroke "Azure Shadow King," Avila began to feel something was wrong.

At this moment, Avila became certain of one thing: after that three-second death that emptied her body's energy, every subsequent stroke from the enemy was of this level— the enemy had entered the second stage.

Time Reminiscence.】

Behind Avila appeared a tall black shadow; the opponent wielded an abyss greatsword, and a great sword slashed downward.

At this moment, on the chaotic battlefield, those on the front line— Sun Seth, Immortal Aches, Holy Song Samantha, etc. — all felt the ground tremble beneath their feet. In the distance at the horizon, abyssal darkness and bloody crimson eroded each other, finally exploding with a deafening boom.

A shockwave swept over, forcing both sides on the battlefield to cease fighting— whether it was the enemy's three fortresses or our own main base, all were shaken by a series of booming thunderclaps.

At this moment, in the region where Su Xiao and Avila clashed, only a severed "Gate of Time" remained.

Netherworld, skeletal wasteland; Su Xiao held his long sword diagonally pointing to the ground, a drop of blood sliding from the blade tip and falling to the earth. Opposite him, Avila's expression was grim— she truly hadn't expected that this annihilator before her would, with pure and extreme slashing power, cleave her Gate of Time and then pursue her into the Netherworld.

Visible pale gales howled past, stripping all living beings on this wasteland of flesh and blood, leaving only skeletons. Avila ahead silently vanished.

Su Xiao scanned his surroundings; a faint sense of danger crept in from all around.

Extreme Blade · Breach Formation.】

With a boom, the blade's force spread like a shockwave, forcibly stilling the wind in the skeletal wasteland, and also causing the time field hidden within the gale to fluctuate. Three figures surrounded Su Xiao— the past, present, and future Avilas.

Time Still Point.】

The killing move Avila would not easily use before was now employed effortlessly. One must know: Avila's this is not a clone, but she truly manifested three selves.

This is extremely dangerous behavior, because all three are her selves; when the crisis is resolved, the past and future selves will backlash against the present "true self." Once backlashed, Avila will need a very long time to recover her self, or ultimately be lost.

Extreme Blade · Azure Demon.】

Clang!

Azure-blue blade light nearly instantly reached Avila before her; her eyes gleamed even more crimson. Just as she was about to use time reversal to erase this attack, Su Xiao swapped positions with the blade light concealing a demon spirit.

Extreme Blade · Azure Shadow King.】

Puff—

Half-meter-wide gold-blue blade light swept over; Avila, having endured massive true slash damage, instantly shattered, flying backward like a torn sack. But suddenly, all her damage reversed— she stood midair, coldly gazing at Su Xiao.

The past, present, and future Avilas must first kill the past, then destroy the future, and finally kill the present Avila— this order is absolute, and also Avila's supreme system's strongest ability.

Su Xiao raised his hand, seeing some wrinkles appear on the back of his right hand gripping the blade, during the battle with Avila,

he suffered this backlash from contacting and slaying too many time-system abilities, causing him to begin aging. If he does not kill Avila, this will be permanent aging; conversely, if he slays Avila, this time-causal source, the aging he currently bears will gradually dissipate.

"Finally found it, huh? You're aging, annihilator. I know martial masters grow stronger with age, but your technique ability is already at its limit— you will only age, not grow stronger."

Floating in midair, Avila's head of white long hair had somehow grown extremely long, even past her ankles. If the previous Avila was like a war maiden, now she resembles a time-controlling abyss witch, with fist-sized translucent time orbs orbiting around her.

Causing a martial master to age is a high-risk, high-reward choice; if there were an alternative, Avila would not do this. But in the recent series of battles, Avila was nearly cleaved into close-combat shadows; continuing like this would surely die, so with no way to strengthen herself, she had only to weaken the enemy.

Sending this annihilator back to youth, even younger— this is unrealistic. Given this annihilator's causal mass, Avila feels even if she were several times stronger, she couldn't do it. "Past" and "Future" consume time-force differently, allowing this annihilator's aging to still be achievable.

Actually, Avila didn't misjudge; Su Xiao's "Heavenly Blade Slash Shadow" ability is indeed maxed out. Under these circumstances, there is no truth to martial masters growing stronger with age— although experience might slightly strengthen him, compared to the various negative states from aging, this gain is negligible.

But Avila overlooked one issue: Su Xiao's "Ultimate Shadow" ability. Avila used the Time Eye to perceive the limit of "Heavenly Blade Slash Shadow," but could not perceive the existence of "Ultimate Shadow." Aging is Su Xiao's entire causal chain, so naturally "Ultimate Shadow" must be included within it— thus,

Extreme Blade · Death Omen Star Moon.】

The aging Su Xiao raised his long sword; the entire Netherworld was shrouded in a black round moon. Su Xiao slashed downward with an empty strike.

Boom— the black blade force poured down from above; in just an instant, half of the time-witch姿态 Avila's body, even half her head, vanished. Her remaining eye's pupil trembled; though she didn't know where the problem lay, she was certain of one thing.

Now things are bad!
