Chapter 148 by Gambio Gambio

"Supreme Dance"

Dash to battle! The Battle Maiden takes flight!

BOOM!

With a yelp Ben covered his ears. Quite a few in the audience did the same.

I flew into the shadows with speed unparalleled.

I was faster then Sylphid now. Even inside her darkness, Minerva struggled to follow my movement.

But she certainly tried.

A Dark spear was rising up just as I was entering the shadows. She was predicting my movements and attempted to catch me off guard that way. It would have worked too, if it weren’t for my massive evasion.

I twisted and twirled through the shadows in what more resembled a dance then combat.

Next, Minerva settled for volume instead. A row of spears rose up before me, obscuring the Dark Lord from sight.

It was the same wall of shadows as before, no doubt Minerva expected me to cut through it again.

And would await me with an attack that I could not see.

But I would have to take that gamble. I had no other choice but to rely on my honed senses and take that trap head on.

Or do I?

I bend down on my knees, crouching down to the ground.

And launched myself high in the air.

“Moron.”

Minerva immediately send her shadow axes flying after me.

A reasonable move.

In the air, I had no way of changing my trajectory. I had no way of avoiding these axes with only the sky above me.

If there were only sky above me.

I rose ever higher. My body twisted itself around until my feet finally found purchase.

On the magic barrier that is.

“Secret Technique…”

I kicked myself downwards, my blade trained on Minerva, effortlessly vaporizing the shadow axes she send my way.

“AS IF I WOULD LET YOUUUU!”

Minerva hurled her two Greataxes at me with tremendous ****. This time there truly was no way for me to avoid them. I had to take them head on with Nikkou.

But that too was within my calculations.

“BUNNY...!”

“At front battle maiden!”

Naturally my attention was fully focused on Minerva. Which is why I paid no attention to the wall of the arena.

Just as I was about to unleash my special move, multiple dark spears emerged from the shadow covered part of the wall and shot directly at me.

I could sense every single one of them. But it made no matter. I couldn’t avoid them. The spears skewered me just as the two Hirara Greataxes hit me head on.

First Spear Left Tight 48 HP Damage

Second Spear Torso 97 HP Damage

Hirara Greataxe 1 Blocked

Hirara Greataxe 2 Blocked

Third Spear Torso Critical Hit! 190 HP Damage

Fourth Spear Miss!

Fifth Spear Behind Grazed 12 HP Damage

There was no question that this attack was fatal.

I suffered enough damage to kill me multiple times over.

Which was why Minerva’s face, for the first time, showed shock as I continued my descend unimpeded.

Her two Greataxes collided with the full **** of Nikkou before spinning away in two different directions.

In other words, the Dark Lord had lost her only means of defense.

Glaring at me with eyes of pure hatred, Minerva shadow teleported herself away a split second before impact while I crashed to the ground like a shooting star.

Fall Damage 40 HP Damage

I was not about to give up here, the moment my feet touched the ground I took off to were Minerva reappeared. Without her Greataxes the Dark Lord could not possible hope to face me. She had to teleport away again.

But even with her shadow teleportation, I kept on her heels. The Dark Lord didn’t even have the time to counter with her dark spears and shadow axes.

Compared to to Ithere, Minerva wasn’t quite proficient in shadow teleportation yet. Each time she had to use it, there was a small delay of a second before she could teleport again.

Furthermore, her teleportation was limited to the shadows, or in other words half the arena.

No doubt the Champion considered these limitations insignificant.

I was eager to prove her wrong.

This song and dance continued for quite a while. For a bit it looked like a stalemate.

Finally Minerva teleported herself to one of her discarded axes. With lightning fast reflexes, honed from decades of training she grabbed her weapon before teleporting again.

The added delay was 0.1 seconds.

The scream came only once she had teleported herself twice again.

“GHUARGH!”

One clean cut was all it took to cut one of her arms off.

“Retreat.”

The moment Nikkou said that, I immediately fell back to the sunny part of the arena.

“Supreme dance” only lasts for three minutes. And without it, Minerva had the upper hand.

But merely defending herself against this three minute long onslaught took almost all she had. It would have been decided right then and there with that final slash but unfortunately I only got one of Minerva’s shadow arms. She was in pain but nonetheless immediately regrew that one.

I would love to get back in there immediately but instead I took a deep breath. Not because of my stamina, but my arousal. Supreme dance, elevates all my senses and that also holds true for that horny bunny side effect. I won’t climax thanks to the collar, but it will be immensely hard to keep my arousal at a manageable level without taking the occasional break.

“You fucking punk”, Minerva growled at me as she collected her remaining axe. “The fuck was that bullshit?”

“I-I would like to know that as well!”, Ben, who was mercifully silent until now piped up. “That shadow spear attack pierced you four, count it, one, two, three, four times! How did you manage to escape unscathed-safe for some wardrobe malfunction?”

Ugh...the spears certainly pierced some less then ideal areas. But fortunately it wasn't enough to destroy the suit.

...

Perhaps an explanation was in order.

The wall spear attack skewered my body at four points at once.

In total the attack did a massive 347 HP in damage. Enough to kill me multiple times over

However…

Before even entering the arena I performed the Dance of Super Dubber Heal three times. This Dance came with an overheal of 200%

This number was then further increased by 40% via the Supreme Dance.

In other words my HP as the attack hit me was...

526/94!

It wasn’t even enough to scratch my original HP Pool.

Sadly getting a Level Up reverts your HP to your original maximum, otherwise I could have gotten even higher.

Of course I had no intention to tell any of that to Ben or Minerva.

“I’m not a Devil, if that’s what you are worrying”, I instead responded calmly.

“Sure are as strong as one”, Minerva growled while breathing heavily.

“You are quite powerful yourself”, I smiled “I suppose I will have to use 50% of my full power to completely destroy you.”

I always wanted to say that!

“Bullshit”, the Dark Lord spat while trying to get her breathing under control. “You think I fall for that bluff?”

I wasn’t bluffing. After all...these buffs stack.

This last attack already brought Minerva to the verge of defeat. By the way she was panting it was obvious that this expended a large amount of her stamina.

In other words, all I need to do is stack two Supreme Dances together to win this fight.

Time to finish this.

“Supreme dance.”

The moment I started dancing, Minerva dashed out of the shadows.

WHAT THE HEEEEELL!!!

Who attacks someone while they are powering up? That’s totally unfair!

And with how fast she came at me...Shit! Was Minerva just faking her exhaustion?

Supreme Dance requires me to dance for a full ten seconds.

And once I started it, I couldn’t stop!

Minerva decided to put everything into one final, savage push. It took her less then three seconds to reach my position. She roared and whirled her axes down at me, fully intend on completing obliterating me.

MISS!

MISS!

MISS!

MISS!

Of course that was when my massive evasion kicked in. I only have a 1 in 100 chance of getting hit.

But Minerva intended to roll the dice about that many times.

MISS!

Minerva roared even louder and intensified her flurry.

The searing hot pain caused me to scream out in agony. Minerva managed to cleave one of her axes deep into my right shoulder. It didn’t stop there, the grievous wound tore my right arm clean off. Nikkou slipped out of my grasp.

“BATTLE MAIDEN! DON’T GIVE IN!”

The Dance had completed.

I gritted my teeth and as Nikkou was falling down, I kicked it up with my right leg. The blade spun and twirled, twinkling in the evening sun.

Minerva kept her barrage up, fully intend on finishing the job.

I grabbed Nikkou with my left hand as the blade was at the height of it’s arc.

“Bunny…”

And slashed downwards

“BEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The Dark Lord reacted tremendously fast but there were no shadows to teleport herself away. Instinctively knowing that she had no way of stopping or avoiding this attack, she immediately went to defense, putting all of her axes in front of her body just as the massive beam engulfed her. The shadow axes evaporated in an instant. The sturdy Hirara Greataxes fared a bit better and managed to withstand the massive attack for a few seconds before crumbling.

The Beam dug itself into the sand of the arena and the ground beneath. A crater three meter deep and wide was created as a result.

When the dust had settled, Minerva was pushed all the way back to the wall of the arena.

Thanks to her greataxes, Minerva managed to protect her vitals. But the rest of her body wasn’t so lucky. My strongest attack brought Minerva to the brink of dead. Her shadow arms were gone and her regular arms a bloody ruin, clearly unusable. Her legs had turned dark, a veil of swirling shadow that I at first assumed had protected her lower half before I realized that these had completely replaced her destroyed legs.

“You fucking…” she growled, vomiting out a squall of blood as she propped herself up against the wall of the arena.

Of course I was not in a much better state. This time my HP Pool very much was affected. Minerva’s singular strike almost killed me. Even taking her injuries into account, under normal circumstances this gamble of hers would have paid off.

“Dance of ultra heal”

But even with my body nearly ripped apart, I could still perform my dances and bring me back to full health in an instant. Arm restored and all.

When Minerva saw that, she just laughed. A loud, insane laugh.

The Dark Lord was barely able to stand anymore. Her body was almost entirely encased by shadows. This was what allowed her to still function. But her shadow armor might as well be paper for Nikkou.

At this stage I probably won’t even need Supreme Dance to finish her off.

Minerva just kept on laughing.

Has she given up?

“Nay, oh battle maiden. She hath resolved herself.”

“Ithere…”, Minerva slurred with a low guttural roar as her face disappeared behind a veil of shadows.
