266 – EP.10.5 Clash
***
Every time the fist and the sword met, an unfamiliar sound spread.
The sound of space resonating, twisting and breaking.
On the soot-filled steps of Solar Lucia, two women were exchanging arguments.
The fight between two beings who far exceeded the standards of the world and who could be said to be the absolute powerhouses of each dimension, in itself, brought great pressure to those around them.
“It’s stuffy.”
Imina sat on the simple chair made by the shadow and muttered with popcorn in her mouth.
At first glance, it looks like a battle for superiority, but the leading role in the attack and defense has not changed.
“Where has the same attitude from before gone?”
Namgoong Soyu grinned as he pounded his fist into the sword’s face.
As her legs suddenly broke from the blunt impact, blood vessels stood out on Maria’s forehead.
It was the first time since her execution that she had lost her fight.
Maria went down the stairs little by little, receiving the fists of the Heavenly Demon that rained down on her repeatedly.
‘I have inherited the will of the saint!’
Why is it being pushed back?
A doubt suddenly entered her mind, and Maria shook her head.
She swung her sword with the intention of splitting the woman in front of her in an instant, but it only cut through the air.
“Other than tenacity and strength, everything else is poor.”
In no time, the Heavenly Demon took over behind her and kicked Maria’s leg.
Leaning, Maria fell behind her and fell down the stairs.
Mary’s head fell straight onto her marble, making an unpleasant sound.
“…….”
Cheonma quietly looked at Maria, who was a few steps below her.
It was clear that her head was broken and her blood was flowing.
However, without even looking away, her partner’s appearance is as neat as before.
“There is no sign of recovery….”
The Heavenly Demon tilted her head as if it was strange.
I would have done it if I had seen him regenerate as quickly as Namgung So-yeon.
The opponent returns to its original form as if it had never been injured.
“She’s a pretty annoying b*tch.”
Excluding the inexplicable recovery, it was a fight that had already been decided hundreds of times.
No, there was no fight. It is the same as taking a similar amount of effort as simply killing bugs crawling on the ground.
The Heavenly Demon’s gaze turned to the other person’s blue eyes.
Traces of her disciple, something she did not have, shine on the body of another b*tch.
Her right hand twitched without my knowledge.
The person who fell down the stairs gets up again as if nothing had happened.
She raised the great sword and looked at herself.
The Heavenly Demon ground his teeth at that frightening look.
How dare you look at me?
***
At a time when the Heavenly Demon’s anger grew stronger, Maria, who stood up holding her sword, was also quite embarrassed.
Miraculously, my body recovered completely, but it didn’t mean I couldn’t feel the pain.
In her short time, she experienced the pain of her internal organs being crushed, her head being broken, her jaw being blown off, and her leg bones being crushed.
Maria glanced at her hands.
When Maria saw her hands trembling slightly, she frowned.
“Is my faith wavering? If that’s the case, I guess I’m a sinner too.”
Maria raised her great sword and slashed at her own shaking wrist.
It took only a moment for the cut surface to be visible, and before I knew it, the hand had returned to its clean appearance.
“Saint.”
Mary called the saint. It was a prayer, a courtship addressed to the saint she was with.
“!!”
As Maria’s momentum with her sword changed, her Heavenly Demon’s eyes frowned slightly.
Maria, who had taken a stance with her sword in hand, rushed forward.
Suddenly, the great sword fell on the Cheonma’s head, and the Cheonma dodged it by twisting her body.
The fallen great sword exploded and blew away part of the stairs.
For the first time, Maria made a serious attack on her.
Maria did not stop.
She drew her sword and swung it sideways.
As the sword aimed at her neck, the Cheonma arched her back, and the surface of her great sword grazed her nose.
‘The speed has increased.’
But it was not yet at a level that threatened her life.
The Heavenly Demon dodged the attack and hit her black flame between the cracks and crevices.
Even though her body was melting in the black salt, Maria continued to move.
“Do you think time is on your side?”
The Heavenly Demon laughed heartily as she gave up her defense and landed a kick on the jaw of the charging Maria.
“Nothing can affect me.”
Evading Maria’s attack by just a piece of paper, Cheonma approached her at close range and rammed her body into her stomach.
“Ugh!”
Maria’s body stopped for a moment as the shock shook her whole body.
But the Heavenly Demon did not stop.
“The meal we ate together.”
The Heavenly Demon’s hand blade cut Maria’s shoulder.
With a sharp line, she was splattered with blood.
“The sweat we shed while training together.”
Her fingertips dug into Maria’s soft stomach.
The hand that entered her without resistance unleashed a dangerous flame inside Maria’s stomach.
Maria screamed as she felt her body being burned from the inside.
“A night when we ship together.”
The cold, hard eyes of the Heavenly Demon met Maria’s green eyes.
“Shut up!”
Maria gritted her teeth and swallowed her pain, then slashed her sword from top to bottom.
The Heavenly Demon naturally retreated behind her, surrendering her body to the sword wind created by Maria.
“Even the sword path you are using now, I taught In-ho.”
“Do you think there’s any one of them that you have the upper hand on?”
The loser who ruled the world looks down on the nun with a bitter smile.
Stairs that precariously maintain their shape. A heavenly horse and a nun placed above and below.
“…hehehe.”
It was the nun’s laughter that ended the thrilling confrontation.
“Are you smiling?”
The Heavenly Demon frowned at the pure laughter.
“So… Do you have anything now?”
The Heavenly Demon’s face, which had never blinked at any attack, hardened for the first time.
“You are a great person who spent countless hours with the saint…”
Maria paused for a moment and made eye contact with the Heavenly Demon.
Her blue eyes met the Heavenly Demon.
“So do you have any of them in your hands right now?”
Maria continued speaking in a gentle voice.

“So do you have any of them in your hands right now?”
With Maria’s last words, Solar Lucia’s mood changed.
The energy that pressured everything at every moment disappeared.
“I kept the mercy in my hands for a moment to avoid hurting his eyes… But he keeps talking without even knowing the topic.”
“Now that’s enough. Let’s just get it over with.”
Dark flames began to flash in the Heavenly Demon’s eyes.
Something is coming!
Maria’s instincts cried out.
“I’d like to ask you that you learned the sword from In-ho. Did he tell you about the sword technique?”
“…….”
The only thing Inho taught me was the mindset to have when swinging a sword. Maria shook her head slowly.
“Then I will show you.”
As soon as Cheonma took a step on the stairs, the stairs began to crumble.
Maria’s eyes widened as she saw the cracking stone steps.
“Even if you break it or cut it, it won’t die… Then I’ll get rid of it with its body.”
Cheonma declared.
“Hot prison.”
As soon as the Heavenly Demon’s words fell, everything in Solar Lucia began to dry out.
