Getting spoiled in a woman dominating world-Chapter 412: Bloody snow [5]

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

A blue glint passed through Brandon’s eyes, and he used Eira’s ether skill.

A massive blue square pattern materialized on the snow-covered ground beneath the woman, expanding outward in a rapid pulse until it spanned thirty meters in every direction.

The air within the square thickened, and the gravity shot up.

The woman’s eyes widened as she was instantly pulled down because of the crushing gravity.

’W-What? I thought he can use gravity only on himself... he can manipulate externally too?’

Gravity inverted and intensified in an instant.

THOOM

Her body was crushed to the ground with explosive force.

The snow compressed into hard ice, then cracked under the pressure.

Her knees buckled first, then her hips, then her torso, which forced her to lie flat against the ground as if an enormous hand had pressed down from the sky.

*woosh* Brandon dashed forward and closed the distance in a heartbeat.

His leg snapped up in a brutal front kick as silver flames coiled around his shin.

The kick connected with her face.

CRACK-BOOM

Her head snapped back violently and her black hair whipped around as blood sprayed in a wide arc.

The impact lifted her body off the ground for a split second despite the crushing gravity, then slammed her back down even harder.

The crowd of Aberrants in the distance screeched, but none dared approach.

The woman coughed as wet blood bubbled from her mouth. Her nose was shattered again, her cheekbone cracked, and one eye swollen shut.

Yet again, crimson ether began to flow inward, trying to knit the damage.

But before it could fully heal, Brandon smashed her head with a fist while aiming his next fist at her chest.

Silver flames detonated on her chest.

The blast scorched through her coat, searing her flesh and revealing her cleavage.

In anger, she pushed him and rolled, breaking free of the gravity well.

She stood up and looked at him coldly "You little..."

Seeing this, Brandon’s eyes narrowed ’She is angry right now... then shall we break her mental strength?’

Before he could recollect his thoughts, she swung the scythe in a wide horizontal arc, and the crimson blade extended longer, whipping through the air like a guillotine.

Brandon ducked under it and the blade sliced a trench through the snow behind him.

He countered with a spinning back kick.

THUD-CRUNCH

The kick landed in her ribs, and bones cracked audibly.

She staggered sideways, coughing more blood.

But she spun with the momentum and reversed the scythe’s direction in a rising cut.

Brandon leaped backward to dodge, but she pressed forward and again slashed at him.

He slipped inside her guard, driving an elbow into her throat ’That’s it... she is angry and that is making her do clumsy moves.’

"Guaarghh-" She choked and staggered back.

He followed with a knee to her stomach, amplifying the kick with gravity, making the blow heavier than it should be.

CRUNCH

She doubled over, vomiting blood "Buarghh-"

But she grabbed his leg mid-kick, twisting violently.

He flipped with the motion, landing on his feet.

*swoosh* She lunged, thrusting the scythe for his heart.

He twisted and caught the haft with both hands.

Her face was inches from his.

"You’re going to die here," she hissed.

Brandon grinned "Not today."

He yanked the scythe toward him, pulling her off balance, then drove his knee upward into her chin.

THUD

Her head snapped back.

He released the scythe, spun, and delivered a roundhouse kick to her temple.

BOOM

She flew sideways, crashing through a stand of frozen trees.

Brandon landed lightly and took heavy breaths ’Fuck... healing is consuming a big chunk of ether. I am already reaching my limit.’

The woman rose from the wreckage, and the blood flowed inward, but the healing was visibly struggling against the persistent silver flames clinging to her wounds.

She exhaled sharply, a hiss of pain and irritation, and steadied herself with one hand on the shattered trunk of a nearby tree.

Her coat hung in tatters, revealing pale skin marked with fading burns and fresh bruises.

Glancing down at his ripped t-shirt, he tore it down and stretched his muscles a bit.

The woman twirled the scythe "You shameless bastard, what are you showing to a woman..."

Brandon frowned slightly "Didn’t know you were shy. Thought you must have seen worse."

"Oh, I have." Her eyes narrowed, her smile sharpening into something predatory. "But I do prefer my subjects... intact. And clothed. Makes the breaking so much sweeter."

She took a single step forward, and the snow around her darkened again.

Noticing the sudden spike of ether around her body, Brandon’s gaze squinted ’She still have some tricks?’

The woman raised her scythe.

And the real carnage began.

She swept the blade in a wide arc *whoosh* and a crescent of blood ether detached, hurtling toward him like a blade ten feet long.

Brandon dashed left and his chains snapped forward to intercept *CLANG* and the crescent arc of ether collided with the links, shattering into harmless mist.

In the next instant, she teleported in a burst of crimson mist, reappearing at his flank.

Sensing her, he quickly threw a punch at her, and silver flames detonated on her chest.

CRUNCH

She staggered back in pain and instantly retaliated as blood tendrils lashed from the ground like whips.

He shattered them with sweeping chain strikes *crack-crack-crack* then closed the distance again.

’I need to finish the fight quickly, my ether reserves will end soon.’

As he threw a punch again, she grabbed his throat mid-motion.

But he countered quickly, manipulating the gravity around them and launching them both upward.

*swoosh*

Mid-air, he twisted, slamming an elbow into her temple.

CRACK

The force spun her before she broke free of his grip and hurtled away.

Snow exploded in white plumes where she grazed the ground, carving a long, erratic trench before she finally slammed into a frozen boulder with a thunderous BOOM.

The impact shattered the rock into rubble.

Brandon landed lightly on both feet, his boots sinking into the churned snow.

"Haa..."
