The Blood armor quickly formed 10 Blood Spikes and attacked Nux while Melia was blocking his sword. Nux, who had already expected this attack jumped back as he moved away from those spikes.
The spikes, however, changed their direction. Nux raised his eyebrow in mild surprise, he glanced at Melia's face but her expression was still as expressionless as before. Nux dodged those spikes, the spikes he couldn't dodge were cut off.
And this time, he didn't forget to use Flames to burn the Blood that had fallen on the ground after being cut.
He didn't want any random spikes coming from behind while he is fighting against Melia.
Melia understood it couldn't continue like this. Nux's reactions and movement speed were scarily quick, even if he didn't use any Mana, when compared to a normal Emperor Stage Body Cultivator, he was a complete monster.
Melia rushed towards Nux.
In an ideal situation, she would have used long-distance spells in this situation to make things even harder for Nux, however, since they promised a close-ranged battle, that was what she would give him.
*Clank*
Their sword clashed again.
This time, Nux was the one in the defensive position.
Melia didn't give him any chance to turn the situation around either, 10 more spikes came out of her Armor, she was planning to end this today, however, suddenly, her expression changed.
All 30 Spikes returned to the Blood Armor.
Purple Black Spikes came out of the ground and rushed toward Melia, however,
*Clank*
It couldn't break Melia's armor.
Of course, Nux wasn't planning on breaking that armor either.
He knew just how absurdly strong that armor's defense was.
*Clank* *Clank* *Clank*
More and more Spikes continued to attack Melia from all directions. Unlike Nux, Melia's reaction speed was not fast enough to dodge all these spikes, she could only trust her armor.
And of course, her trust was valid. Nux's [Dark Amethyst] couldn't break through Melia's armor. However, soon, Melia realized it.
Unlike her, Nux didn't have a limit to the number of Spikes he could summon.
She…
She was already surrounded by over 50 Spikes.
Her movements were completely restricted.
Of course, in a close-ranged battle, it wasn't a problem, since in the end, Nux would have to remove those Spikes to get close to her, however, he was Nux.
He must have something planned and Melia didn't like that.
Being trapped like that in a situation where she couldn't use long-ranged spells, it was not good. Therefore, she decided to reveal her trump card.
*BOOOOM*
Melia's Blood Armor suddenly burst apart.
A huge ring of Blood was formed around Melia, the ring then expanded, cutting away all the Purple Spikes that had surrounded her.
Melia then used her Mana to throw away all the pieces of [Dark Amethyst], the Blood that had spread all over the place moved again and formed the Armor around her again.
"…"
Seeing this scene, Nux glanced at Melia with a shocked look on his face.
What the fuck was that?
A burst skill that gets rid of all the enemies in the surrounding at the same time.
It was overpowered, however, that was not what Nux was surprised about.
This ability… it barely had any casting cost or cooldown time!
Melia could just continuously abuse it and there is nothing her opponents could do about it.
How is that fair!?
Melia, who saw Nux's reaction smiled a little.
Then, she rushed towards Nux again.
Nux prepared himself.
*Clank*
Again, he blocked her attack with his sword.
"Have you thought of a countermeasure yet?" Suddenly, Melia questioned.
"Hm?" Nux, who was expecting Blood Spikes to come out and attack him again frowned.
Then, his eyes fell on Melia's Mana which was shining again.
Nux understood.
Melia…
She was about to use the same skill again.
*BOOOOM*
Melia's Blood Armor burst apart, the blood particles rushed to Nux's eyes, taking away his vision. Then, the same Ring formed around Melia and,
*Whoosh*
It expanded.
The Blood moved and turned back into Armor again. The Blood smog that was created disappeared, revealing Melia's proud and strong figure.
However, Nux was nowhere to be seen.
Melia looked around with a frown on her face.
Where is he?
She wondered.
Did he rush into the [Core]?
Nux had taken away her permission to enter the [Core] before the battle begin, so she couldn't access it, well, it wasn't his fault either. He had to use everything in his arsenal after all.
Anyways, since Melia couldn't access the [Core], if Nux had rushed in, it was a successful escape, however, Melia knew that was not possible.
[Core] had a big disadvantage.
It only works when the portal is formed, and the formation of the Portal takes a second.
There was not enough time for Nux to use Portal.
So where was he?
Melia wondered.
This situation, it was similar to the first time Melia sparred with Nux. With a determined look on her face, Melia spread her Mana all over the place. She knew Nux could appear anywhere at random at any time, therefore, she prepared herself.
She was not willing to lose.
And just as she expected, as she blinked, Nux used this chance to appear behind him and attack.
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm Melia wasn't quick enough to defend or dodge, however, she trusted her armor which was at its full strength.
*Clank*
And just as she expected, Nux's sword failed to break through her defenses.
But suddenly,
Her expression changed.
"Khwwaakkk!!"
She coughed out blood as she felt a strange energy moving around her body, messy with her organs. Her body turned weak, she felt like she was about to pass out, however,
*BOOOOOM*
She used this chance and used her trump card again.
This time, Nux was caught in her attack.
He tried using [Mirror] to reduce the damage, however, his body was still pushed back and he fell down.
Melia didn't form her Armor again, she just quickly rushed towards Nux and fell on top of him.
With their faces close to each other, Melia spoke,
"You lose."
