Broken stone lifted slightly as something huge moved underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius narrowed his eyes while floating in the air. Another mace appeared in his hand through weaponry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped it tightly while staring below carefully, waiting for whatever Rosalina was creating this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground exploded apart. A giant centipede burst out from beneath the arena with a loud screech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its massive body twisted through the air while dozens of sharp legs crawled against each other rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature looked strangely unnatural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body was painted perfectly like a real centipede, but glowing paint dripped slowly from its shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Parts of its body looked like wet brush strokes layered over each other. It was less like a living creature...and more like a drawing forced into reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SHRIEEEEEK—!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant centipede opened its mouth and spat a thick stream of glowing liquid directly toward Julius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius did not dodge. Instead, he raised the giant mace over his shoulder and swung it down with brutal force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRAAAAASH!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The centipede’s head exploded apart instantly. Its giant body collapsed and burst into splashes of glowing paint that scattered through the air like liquid colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment the paint touched Julius’s mace...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SSSSSSSS.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal immediately started melting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple smoke rose upward while the giant weapon dissolved rapidly in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius stared at it silently for half a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Why does everything she touches become toxic...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately threw the melting mace away before it completely dissolved. Then he reached one hand outward again. A new weapon formed in his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time it was a Wakizashi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short blade reflected purple light as Julius rolled it once in his hand smoothly before pointing it toward Rosalina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from him, Rosalina finally seemed bored of drawing too. She casually let the paintbrush disappear before reaching her hand outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary appeared in her grasp instantly. She held the sword elegantly beside her body while a confident smile slowly appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will lose in a sword fight.\" Saying that, she took a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she took a single step forward...Colors exploded behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every movement she made left glowing trails in the air behind her like flowing paint. Even after she moved, colorful afterimages remained for a moment before fading slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked beautiful....and extremely annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM. Rosalina rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius immediately moved too and brought his wakizashi down toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina blocked the strike effortlessly with Mary. She looked completely calm. With a smooth motion, she pushed his blade downward before instantly throwing a kick toward his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius reacted quickly and raised his knee to block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact echoed loudly but Rosalina was already moving again. She spun beautifully and launched another kick directly toward his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her colorful afterimages followed every movement. One kick became three, three became four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s eyes narrowed sharply, every attack looked real, every motion overlapped with another. It became extremely difficult to tell which strike was the true one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly why Rosalina had become so terrifying in close combat after inheriting Color Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before, she was already dangerous. Now fighting her up close felt like trying to predict several attacks at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius continued blocking while attacking back whenever he found an opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stab, a horizontal slash, a downward strike. Meanwhile, most of his defense came from his arms, legs, and pure reaction speed as he blocked Rosalina’s relentless barrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena shook continuously from their collisions, but Rosalina was always thinking ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One move ahead, and then....she attacked again. First came a direct stab with Mary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius immediately blocked it using his wakizashi. Then Rosalina suddenly threw a back kick toward his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius reacted instinctively and raised his knee to block it...and at that exact moment....a metal knuckle suddenly appeared around Rosalina’s right fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SMASH!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her punch slammed directly into Julius’s left shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GHK—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A painful groan escaped his mouth instantly. The force sent him skidding backward across the arena floor violently while cracks spread beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain exploded through his shoulder, Julius grabbed it tightly while breathing out sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain refused to fade immediately, but there was no time to recover. Because Rosalina was already rushing toward him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time....she was coming like a rocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground exploded behind her as colorful light followed her charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s eyes widened instantly, his expression sharpened seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compressed mana gathered rapidly around his hand as he prepared to cast another spell...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he suddenly froze....something inside his core moved. A deep cracking sensation echoed through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a sealed lid that had remained shut for years was finally beginning to open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s expression changed instantly, the mana around him became unstable for half a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the side of the arena, Elizabeth noticed it immediately. Her eyes widened sharply, this battle had been arranged for this exact reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To push them to this point, she immediately raised her hand toward the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"STOP!\" she shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina stopped instantly..The moment Elizabeth shouted, she had already understood what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her charge came to a complete halt only a few steps away from Julius. The colorful trails behind her slowly faded into the air one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, the arena became completely quiet. Rosalina looked at Julius carefully before slowly loosening her grip on Mary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword disappeared from her hand with a soft humming sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Have you made a breakthrough?\" she asked softly while taking a slow step toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Elizabeth also walked onto the arena floor. Behind her, Rosel followed silently, her usual playful expression completely gone as she stared at Julius seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it a breakthrough?\" Elizabeth asked the same thing again while moving closer to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius slowly lifted his head and looked at both Rosalina and Elizabeth. The unstable mana around his body flickered quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I think so,\" he muttered. Then he slowly crossed his legs and sat down on the broken arena floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he closed his eyes...his consciousness instantly sank deep inside his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him floated the massive core quietly pulsing with purple light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...it looked completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cracks had spread across the outer layer of the core everywhere like broken glass. Small pieces were already beginning to peel away slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked almost like a creature shedding its old skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shell of the Core was finally breaking apart...and beneath those cracks...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Void Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius stared at it silently for a few seconds before slowly letting out a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems...\" he muttered softly while looking at the breaking core. \"This time... I’ll finally be able to reach Void Core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1164,"2026-06-10T05:56:22.118Z",1,"novelbin.me","104a390abcbf26d9b8d02226f32efdd2023515213b24464e354c988a9fdfe065","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-5","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-4",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
