Chapter 143: Theos vs Camila [II]
Theos released his Path, the Corrupted Celestial Path.
The particles of darkness came out of Theos' body and then gathered with him again, but this time on the surface, creating an armor of dark particles that completely covered Theos' body.
Immediately he felt the increased strength. 'This is something else,' he thought with a smile.
He also had a great advantage in this battle... Camilla could not reveal the fact that she is a Dragon.
Everyone at the Academy knew that she had the Path of a Dragon, meaning they had several of the abilities of a Dragon.
However, having the Path of a Dragon and being a Dragon directly are two very different things.
And Theos had to take advantage of this.
However, he also has a disadvantage...
'It's daytime,' he thought, looking at the radiant sun.
He could not transform into a Vampire and release more than 50% of his original power.
He could only fight with all his abilities without becoming a Vampire.
But even for two, he had a plan...
Noting that Theos had stood there, motionless, waiting for her move, Camila decided to stop being passive and go on the offensive this time.
She moved quickly, going straight at Theos without reservation. This was a rare way to attack; mostly experienced fighters go for weak spots, gaps in the defense, or at the enemy's expense.
'Classic her', Theos thought with a smile, imagining what Camilla's next moves would be.
With a stoic and cool expression, she swung her sword to perform an attack similar to the one Theos did: a vertical slash with great power.
He had already foreseen this, so he did not dodge, but instead, he moved the Death Fragment from his hand to interrupt the direction of Camila's attack, blocking it.
*Shock*.
The sword in Camilla's left hand collided with Theos' Death Fragment, causing a huge shockwave.
The shockwave was so strong that the spectators had to hold on tight so as not to go flying.
'Divine Miracle is that powerful? It is a great weapon,' Camila concluded, feeling happy inside.
However, Theos didn't let her feel joyful for long, as he quickly made an offensive taking advantage of Camila being so close now.
Releasing her negative aura, a bunch of beams formed from her very now, Beams of negative energy.
"!", observing all those rays of negative energy coming towards her, Camila wanted to leave.
However, Theos wasn't going to make it that easy for her...
Without saying a single word, he grabbed Camila's wrist at a high speed, even though she could not react when her wrist was held by his hand.
Without further ado, more than a hundred lightning bolts shot toward Camila.
*Boom!
All of the lightning struck Camila's body, sending her flying after Theos let go of her wrist.
'Agh,' no one she, in pain.
'He's pretty agile,' Camila thought, deciding to bring out more of his potential.
Fortunately, she didn't slam into the wall but landed with her feet in the sand, her two weapons completely intact.
The battle, far from over, had only just begun.
"I hope you won't regret it later," she murmured, a slight smile on her lips.
After so many years at the Academy, no one had ever faced her. Only after showing her skills once they considered her the strongest; in every test, she was the highest, both in intelligence and strength, and they considered Camila Unsurpassed.
All those years led her to loneliness. She knew that there were several in the Academy, especially in the Third Year, who could give her a fight and who were quite powerful and talented. However, not one of them had challenged her.
And she wasn't curious enough to challenge them to a duel either.
"She... Is she using her Path?"
"The Way of the Dragon!"
Several exclamations came from all over the Colosseum, surprised to see Camila for the first time in the Academy had released her Path.
Everyone knew Camila's Path, as Path detector machines must be done in public and it is mandatory for each passing year.
However, no one had ever seen her fight in that state...
Camila's emerald eyes became more reptilian, her emerald hue became brighter, almost mesmerizing.
Scales protruded from its skin, making it tough and resistant. Majestic and beautiful wings emerged from its back.
The albino hair became longer and wilder, while her facial features became more menacing.
Camila had become a Dragon, or rather, a Semi Dragon.
'This is as far as she will transform,' Theos thought with a calculating, icy stare.
She couldn't transform any more than that, otherwise she would generate too much suspicion. 'Having a Dragon Path doesn't exactly mean being able to turn into a Dragon.
For a person to already become a Semi Dragon was something exceptional, but to become a Full Dragon... It would be something unheard of in history.
And no one would believe that a girl around 20-21 years old would accomplish a feat that would become history.
*Swosh*
Camila didn't waste time, she moved so fast that Theos could barely see her.
She's behind him…
Turning, Theos dodged the blade that was heading to slice his neck in half.
'That was close,' he sighed in his heart after ducking to dodge the slash.
After an attack, he had to counterattack to maintain his usual aggressiveness, didn't he?
And so it was, all at once Theos summoned 5 swords of negative energy, each measuring about 2 meters long and as thin as a sheet of paper.
All these swords were directed towards Camilla.
With a stoic and indifferent expression, she disappeared again, dodging all the swords that remained stuck in the ground.
'Her speed... Wow, that's exaggerated,' he chuckled.
'What's the best way to beat someone who specializes in speed? There were many ways and Theos, at least of those many ways, has one of them.
Lock her in a small place, so she won't take advantage of her speed.
Underworld
Theos expelled his Mana, not the Negative, but the Mana of Death, which quickly covered the entire battle arena, covering the walls and finally, closing above in a circular shape, like a roof.
The Circle of the Underworld had been created.
If so, what difference did it make to enclose it in the entire space of the arena and not to do so? After all, it's the same thing.
Yes, exactly, it's the same thing, for now.
Clasping his two hands together, Theos made as if he were crushing something between his empty palms.
Thus, little by little the Underworld became smaller and smaller until it was only about 50 feet around.
"So you finally activated the Domain with which you survived against a Supreme-ranked Sacred Dragon, huh?" he declared once, and no more so than Camila's voice.
Theos did not answer but just nodded.
His body was made more powerful by the Buff given to him by the Underworld, and now...
'I can activate my Vampire form,' he thought with a half smile.
I create two super strong barriers to surround his body, while, I release the Vampire blood from his body.
This he does so that Camila would not interrupt his vampirification.
And so I was, as she sent several waves of Mana to interrupt her transformation.
* Boom *
* Boom *
*Boom*
Unfortunately, not a single one could break the barriers made by Theos. It's not because he lacked strength, but because he used a great deal of his strength to create that pair of barriers.
On top of that, he helps them by expelling more Negative Mana than the barriers can absorb.
It didn't take long for Theos to finally become a Vampire... His skin turned extremely pale, his crimson eye glowed even brighter and his claws protruded from his hand.
And if that wasn't enough, his hair had grown much longer…
"Crimson Bomb!" he chanted, releasing a large amount of negative energy.
Camila, seeing the space quite small, could not dodge, so she decided to create a barrier with her Mana... But she did not count on that, in a moment to another, hundreds of black and dark hands held her legs.
She tried to fly higher, but she couldn't, and for some reason, the dark hands wouldn't let her create the mana barrier.
As if they were snakes, little by little they ran along her legs to coil them up.
And Theos, as if everything had been planned, approached Camila, being only inches away from her.
*Boom*
