Getting spoiled in a woman dominating world-Chapter 411: Bloody snow [4]

Looking at the decapitated head on the ground, the woman took two steps forward and glanced down at him with a smile.

"You... really thought you could defeat me?"

She tilted her head to look into his lifeless eyes "You are certainly strong for an S-rank subject... but-"

*sleesh*

In the next instant, a sword punctured straight through her heart from behind.

"Guargh-" Her eyes widened in shock as the blade pierced her chest, and she saw the decapitated head in front of her burning in white flames.

She coughed as the blood bubbled from her lips, splattering onto the snow in thick, steaming drops.

She slowly turned her head back to look at Brandon, standing with a sword in his hand punctured into her heart.

"H-How?"

Brandon twisted his sword and ripped it back.

Blood sprayed in a wide arc.

The woman staggered forward, clutching the hole in her chest.

He didn’t give her time to recover and instantly slashed the sword, aiming for her neck.

But in the last second, she raised her scythe to block the attack.

*clang*

The weapons collided with explosive force, and shockwaves ripped outward.

She was hurled backward, skidding across the frozen ground, before she managed to flip upright and dash upward into the sky.

Hovering ten meters above, she clutched her chest, blood still pouring between her fingers.

Her regeneration struggled to keep up with the wound ’W-What just happened? I am sure I killed him.’

Brandon swirled the sword in his hand and looked up at her ’I can’t believe I had to use an important trick up my sleeve like that...’

This is the ’Aspect’ he copied from Yverine, her Nine Lives Aspect.

Even if he is dead, he had nine revivals left, and now that one is gone, he has eight revivals.

(A.n: Recheck Chapter 210 where Yverine explains)

His gaze narrowed ’She didn’t die even after stabbing her heart. So I guess I have to go for the head.’

’I don’t want to use the aspect anymore...’

Gripping the sword, he exhaled softly ’Good thing there was this sword in my storage ring.’

*woosh* He dashed forward, and a blue etheric disc appeared below his feet.

He leaped onto it, using the momentum to launch himself upward in a straight line toward her.

She spun the crimson scythe in her grip and brought it down in a diagonal arc meant to bisect him from shoulder to hip.

Brandon raised his sword in a high guard.

CLANG

The weapons collided with a sound like breaking thunder.

Sparks of silver and crimson ether exploded outward, vaporizing the snow in a perfect ring around the impact point.

The force drove him downward a few feet before he stabilized on another disc.

She pressed the attack immediately.

Seeing the incoming slash, he blocked it with the sword before twisting his wrists to deflect the force sideways.

As her scythe came down again, he stepped inside her guard and drove a front kick straight into her abdomen.

THUD

"Ugh-" The impact lifted her slightly, and the air exploded from her lungs in a sharp gasp.

She staggered back mid-air with the blood flecking her lips.

But she recovered instantly and reversed the scythe with a backhanded slash aimed at his throat.

*sleesh*

Brandon ducked under it, his hair ruffling from the wind of the blade, and retaliated with a spinning back kick to her ribs.

CRACK

She blocked with her forearm, but the force spun her sideways.

He didn’t let up and leaped forward, thrusting his sword in a straight line toward her head.

She parried *CLANG* and countered with a knee strike.

He twisted away and her knee grazed his side, tearing his fabric and skin.

"Ghh-" Blood welled, but he ignored it.

He grabbed her scythe haft with his free hand and used his own momentum to pull her forward.

She stumbled, and, using the chance, he drove his elbow into her jaw.

CRUNCH

Her head snapped back, blood spraying from her mouth.

She quickly pulled back the scythe and slashed horizontally.

Brandon ducked, rolled under the swing, and came up behind her.

He kicked the back of her knee *thud*, forcing her to drop.

As she fell, he spun and slashed the sword downward in a diagonal arc aimed to split her skull.

She blocked with the scythe haft *CLANG* and the impact reverberated through both weapons.

They locked, with his sword grinding against her haft, and their faces were inches apart.

*fwoosh* But in the next second, she disappeared and reappeared up in the sky.

Brandon looked up at her and the enormous red eye in the sky looking down at him ’I can’t fly yet...’

’And I am not efficient with sword, I only know how to use daggers and a gun.’

Hovering up in the sky, the woman squinted her eyes ’He is deadly if I engage with him in close combat, but since he can’t fly... I just need to keep my distance from him.’

’So I won’t let him touch me again.’

The gigantic red eye pulsed, and from the clouds above, weapons began to fall.

A tired sigh escaped Brandon’s lips ’Not this again...’

Gigantic blood spears that are thicker than a tree trunk descended like meteors, targeting Brandon’s position from every angle.

He dodged sideways just as the first spear obliterated the spot he’d been standing on.

BOOOOM-!

The impact blasted a crater twenty meters wide.

Another spear came down.

Then another.

Brandon sprinted, his boots tearing through snow as he deflected some of the incoming weapons, but not everything.

A spear grazed his shoulder, ripping the flesh clean off.

"Urgh..." He stumbled and forced himself onward as green energy flared desperately, sealing the wound mid-motion.

Above him, the woman gestured with her hand again.

The spears changed mid-fall.

They split apart, fracturing into thousands of smaller projectiles that rained down like a crimson hailstorm.

’Fuck it, no more swords, they are disturbing my flow.’

Retracting the sword back into his storage ring, he summoned the chains and gripped them lightly.

He slashed them around him, deflecting the blood projectiles.

*clang* *clang* *clang*

Blood soaked into the snow beneath him.

His vision swam.

The red eye in the sky pulsed again.

Massive rivers of blood ether streamed downward and lashed toward him from above. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

They hit the ground with wet, meaty impacts, splashing and reforming instantly into writhing shapes.

An enormous blood snake rose from the frozen earth, and its head was grotesque with elongated jaws.

It reared back, coiling high above the shattered landscape, and screamed "SCREEEECHHH!"

Looking at Brandon, the snake dashed straight at him.

Its massive body slithered forward with terrifying speed, carving a trench through the snow as it came.

Brandon jumped forward and met it head-on.

Silver flames erupted along his right fist, coiling up his arm and gravity compressed around his knuckles, multiplying the force tenfold.

His punch connected with the snake’s lower jaw.

BOOOOOOM

The impact detonated.

Silver flames exploded on contact, burning through the blood scales in a blinding flash and gravity crushed inward, compressing the jaw into itself.

"SCREECH-" The snake’s head snapped sideways, its fangs missing him by inches as it recoiled.

The creature screamed again, coiling its body into a whip-like strike.

*swoosh* Brandon rolled beneath the lash and came up swinging with a right uppercut in its face.

The flames seared a gash across the snake’s side.

The chains wrapped around its midsection, pulling it hardly.

The serpent thrashed and struggled, whipping its tail.

Brandon leaped, landing on its back.

Taking the sword again, he drove it deep into the scales between its shoulders.

*pleesh*

Silver flames flowed through the blade, burning inward.

*BWOOSH*

The snake bucked wildly.

He held on, twisting the sword, carving a path through its body, and poured more ether into the flames.

The fire spread, consuming the crimson snake from the inside out.

"SCREEEEEEE-" The snake screamed, trying to shake him off.

Brandon rode it like a wild horse and reached the head.

The jaws instantly snapped at him.

He punched downward and condensed his silver flames into a point-blank blast.

CRUNCH-BOOM

The skull caved in.

"SCRAAARRRGHHHH!!!!"

The snake’s body convulsed once, twice, and then dissolved into a massive cloud of crimson mist, raining blood across the snowfield.

"Haa... Haa..." Brandon landed in the center and took deep breaths before looking up at the woman in the sky.

’If I can’t reach you, then I will bring you down.’
