YM778.TV Chapter 264: Tiamat Vs Alice
And once she did, her aura began to fluctuate.
"Alice chose this. Let\'s just watch for now and make sure she\'s not killed. The longer we don\'t interfere, the more likely it is for things to succeed." Kaden shook his head.
What Alice needed to do now was to prove to Tiamat that the Abyss had no hold over her. And the best way to do that was to reveal the power she gains from drinking blood then going back to normal.
Watching the situation carefully, Kaden was prepared to teleport in to save her.
But he believed in Alice.
###
*BANG!!!
Knocking Alice\'s Void Flux – Cleave aside using spectral dragons, Tiamat released a roar as a blue and red aura flickered around her body. Red lightning crackled while illusionary dragon heads appeared around her.
Sending them towards Alice, Tiamat watched as Alice copied her movements and did the same. Behind her, dragon heads also appeared and clashed against the heads sent by Tiamat.
\'What is this freak of nature!?\' Tiamat gritted her teeth as patterns appeared on her body.
Around them, dark clouds gathered while meteorites descended from the skies, dyeing the realm of Terminus in an ominous red.
Looking up at the flaming rocks without fear, Alice closed her eyes before activating her Resonance!
Energy converged towards her location as a new outfit manifested around her body. Her aura soared thanks to the addition of Tiamat\'s blood and she aimed her finger towards the meteors.
*Click
With a single snap of her finger, Void Fluxes detonated next to the meteors, consuming them in a storm of violet flames.
The echoes of Alice\'s laugh could be heard across Terminus as she shot towards Tiamat with sword in hand.
*CLANG!!!!
Clashing her blade against a claw, Alice paused in surprise seeing the woman in front of her.
Wild long red hair that was swept to the side and hid one of her eyes. A pair of familiar draconic horns and a Sigil like marking running up the side of her face. Like Alice, she had a set of sharp teeth.
The woman in front of her wore a sleeveless elegant black dress that reached her ankle with a slit on the side to reveal her legs that wore a pair of thigh high boots and tights.
Even in this form, there were cuffs and chains around her neck, wrists and ankle. Most noticeably, a crystal stake through the centre of her chest.
Unfurling her wings behind her, Tiamat glared at Alice.
"Enough of this farce brat. Just because you drank my blood you think you can surpass the original?" Tiamat asked with a grin. She couldn\'t travel far from this crevice due to her seal but she refused to let Alice hit her senselessly!
Twisting her body, she slammed her foot into Alice\'s stomach, sending her crashing through the air before chasing after her.
Appearing behind Alice, red lightning and fire manifested around her body as she condensed energy into a single orb. The world seemed to lose its colour as everything was absorbed into the orb.
*BANG!!!!
Slamming it into Alice\'s back, Tiamat watched as Alice crashed into the ground with a loud bang. Even through the smoke, she could see a large wound completely shredding a large portion of Alice\'s stomach and ribs.
But just when she thought it was over, Alice began to stand up. A maniacal laughter haunted her ears as she watched the flesh stitch itself together while flames burned around her wound, revealing the flawless body beneath after being healed.
Tiamat\'s smile twitched.
Even at her current power, her attack was not something anyone could just shrug off like that. And more importantly, that was not regeneration that belonged to her powers!
Stabbing her sword into the ground, Alice looked up at Tiamat before muttering something under her breath.
At that moment, Tiamat felt a chill down her back as countless sparks manifested around her.
Widening her eyes, she noticed the familiar gathering of power.
"You b*tch…" She muttered, realising that Alice had copied her attack the moment she demonstrated it.
Countless variants of her attack manifested itself as the world was drained of colour once more.
*BANG!!!!
Shielding herself with a red and black aura, Tiamat frowned while looking towards Alice\'s location only to see that she was missing.
\'Behind!\'
Sensing danger behind her, she managed to knock aside a Void Flux – Cleave that was aimed at her neck while Alice flickered beneath her.
The obsidian blade travelled upwards while Tiamat leaned back to dodge the strike.
Flipping her body back, she kicked Alice in the jaw to send her up before gathering her energy, manifesting a ring behind her.
Since Alice was copying everything she did, she needed to take her out in one go!
Black and red energy erupted from her body as dragon heads shot out from around her, each one holding the ferocity of an Abyss Lord!
*CRACK!!!
Snapping their jaws on Alice\'s limbs, they tore off pieces of her with ease. Seeing this Tiamat was about to turn away when Alice\'s laughter continued to ring out.
\'She\'s f*cking crazy…\' Tiamat thought to herself as Alice began to fight back within this horde of dragon heads.
Blood, flesh, tendons and bones all began to regenerate as Alice grabbed one of the dragon heads that approached her and grinned.
Opening her mouth, she began to consume the attack as her aura began to spike once more.
With each limb they tore off, she\'ll regenerate and grab another dragon\'s head to consume. A constant cycle of consumption and regeneration.
Flinching from each bite, Tiamat understood that Alice was using the connection between her and the attack to reach for her soul!
"Freak!" Tiamat shouted in anger as she retracted her attack.
At this rate, the longer they fought, the stronger Alice will get! Each time she consumed a piece of her, the bigger her \'reserves\' became and the longer she could maintain the power of an Abyss Lord.
Tiamat couldn\'t believe what she was thinking but right now, with her powers sealed, the best way to win this fight was to stall Alice until she ran out of power!
But to force the Dragon Queen of the Apocalypse to run?
Tiamat loathed the thought. But her arrogance did not blind her to the risks of fighting this freak of nature in front of her.
Even though their exchange had been short, she could already feel her output of power dropping.
If she was fighting with 3% of her power earlier, thanks to Alice, she was now dropping to 1%!
\'If I lose any more pieces of my soul, the seal may as well just knock me into a coma!\' Tiamat thought to herself.
Glancing up at Alice, Tiamat noticed a taunting stare in her eyes as she wiped her mouth and licked her lips.
"Delicious… Can I have some more?" Alice smiled.
*PUCHI!
Feeling as though a vein was about to burst, Tiamat could barely contain herself.
It had been a long time since she had felt this insulted during a fight. The last time was against Allura the Executioner.
Even now, she could still remember that fight.
"Oi oi oi~ Stinky dragon, do you even take a bath?"
"Pft hahaha! All this aura and yet you can\'t even land a hit? Do you need a few more years to train? Should I let you hit me?"
"So if you\'re the Dragon Queen, is there a Dragon King? Does he give you some love on a Saturday night? Or are you single but don\'t want to mingle? I only hear about your name in this land of yours and never a husband after all."
Just thinking about Allura\'s taunts infuriated Tiamat.
"Fine. Since you had her protection, it means you\'re connected to her right? Then it\'s a perfect chance for me to vent my frustrations. You wanted more, didn\'t you? See if you can eat this you brat!"
*BANG!!!!
Tiamat\'s aura exploded outwards as her constraints erupted with a golden sheen but Tiamat ignored the pain.
Her aura continued to climb while Alice simply looked at her with a pair of expectant and hungry eyes. She drooled in anticipation of the meal she was about to receive while Tiamat gathered her energy into a single orb about her palm.
Shooting it up into the air, the space around them began to crack and shatter.
Second Resonance!
Abyss Realm – A World\'s Finale.
The world around them began to distort as Alice found herself being dragged into Tiamat\'s personal realm. A realm balanced on the edge of life and destruction. The final moments of life before the end.
Standing as its ruler, Tiamat looked down at Alice and narrowed her eyes.
In a single blink, Alice found herself surrounded by countless black and red blades and serpentine dragons that locked her in place. She was unable to move any of her limbs as these attacks only served to prevent her escape!
Giant chains wrapped around the world and Alice soon found herself sealed within this orb resting above Tiamat\'s hand.
"Disappear along with this world." Tiamat narrowed her gaze and clenched her fist.
*BANG CRACK!!!
The skies shattered as the realm was crushed into nothingness while Alice was sealed within.
Collapsing onto one knee, Tiamat coughed up a mouthful of blood as the seal around her body burned against her skin.
Seeing the restraints around her neck and limbs glowing with a stronger light, Tiamat knew that she couldn\'t fight anymore. In fact, she might be forced into a slumber if she wasn\'t careful.
*Crrr
"Hm?" Furrowing her brows, Tiamat didn\'t dare to turn around as she could hear the fabric of space tearing apart behind her.
A pair of torn and blood soaked hands clawed open the realm!
Widening her eyes, Tiamat jumped back in horror as she watched Alice claw herself from the rift between realms. Insanity lingered in her eyes while blood continued to pour from her body. There was not a single part of her that wasn\'t injured yet she continued to push forth, ripping a path back to Terminus.
Tiamat began to fear.
