A Journey Worth Seeing

"Oh well…", Lyc smiled as his lustful gaze still remained on her. She felt his unwavering gaze and it began to make her feel somewhat uncomfortable with a touch of disgust hinted within it.

"What a shameless fellow you are...", she said with a seductive smirk.

"What can I say? A beautiful woman stands before thus it is within me to admire her beauty", He said in a chivalrous tone.

"I hope you can continue saying that after this battle!!!!", she roused her Nux as a purple hue suddenly accumulated around her body. She immediately dashed towards Lyc with speed faster than the eye could track.

"What the…?", Lyc immediately grew serious as he raised his sword in front of his chest but before he felt an overwhelming force being exerted on him which sent him flying crashing into a multitude of trees.

'What speed. The power behind was no joke too', Ernest thought as he saw her fist emitting a purplish vapor.

"WATCH OU….", Ernest screamed but a loud bang was heard as Angon's body could be seen flying in the air.

The woman then appeared above Angon delivering a swift roundhouse kick sending him crashing to the ground. Angon instantly suffered a broken rib or two as She landed on the ground and looked at Ernest with a smirk.

"You're all quite powerful and only a step away to the Corporeal Aspect nevertheless you are still Ethereal Aspect Cinthes. I guess your weird concepts do give the edge when you fight with those at the same level as you but….", She roused her Nux even more and suddenly purplish characters unique to an ancient language spawned around her as her fingers intertwined in a very peculiar manner. Ernest took a defense stance rousing his greenish Nux that took on the appearance of a greenish flame that surrounded his figure.

". this farce ends here.", she smiled and suddenly the irises in her eyes glowed.

'Aspect Execution: Seismic Destruction', she swung her moon blades with intense ferocity creating an abysmal purple cyclone that obliterated the whole vicinity in an instant.

Ernest, Lyc and even the injured Angon perceived a purplish light and suddenly their vision went black. They were blown away in opposite directions landing in a pile of tree trunks with visible injuries on their bodies. Angon was even worse, his right arm broke.

"Hphm. Bastards.", she said with inherent malice in her voice as she walked closer to the trio but before she even got in range to end them…

Ernest opened his eyes. He was disoriented by the impact sustained but managed to gain clarity in a matter of moments. He suffered a few broken bones but he was unconcered since the the green flames around his body tended to his wounds albeit slowly.

Damnit, who would've that she can already unleash an Aspect Execution and it seems she still has more than enough Nux to continue fighting. I thought Aspect Executions were trump cards?

Ernest thought then stood up in frustration and gave her a menacing look.

"Ohh , that's surprising . You are already up.", Her eyebrows were raised as she expressed genuine surprise by Ernest's recovery speed.

"Hphm", Ernest responded as he released even more flames.

"We're only getting started, isn't that right?", Ernest said out loud.

"You sure as hell bout that …", Lyc said as he woke up just seconds after Ernest with a slight shrug coming back to reality. He had many flesh wounds on his body and seemed to have suffered a broken left arm and a lost eye. He was in bad shape but that didn't diminish his fighting spirit emphasized by the red hue he emitted.

Ill heal you a bit but that eye is gone for good.", Ernest said to Lyc as he guided his green flame to wash Lyc healing his flesh wounds and broken arm.

She furrowed her eyebrows at Ernest's method of healing and took a defensive stand and just then Lyc dashed at her with near imperceptible speeds. He swung his sword horizontally releasing an arc of reddish light following up with a vertical slash which superimposed to create a terrifying offense.

She responded by swinging her moon blades conjuring a purplish tempest that collided with his attack but what would've been an even clash resulted in Lyc's offense completely destroying her tempest and continuing to her.

"What the….", her eyes widened as she jumped up and just then from above Ernest appeared.

"Know your place woman", Ernest severed her right arm with a greenish blade that was conjured from the entirety of his left arm. He had a crazed look as he then kicked her away.

He…. He bypassed my sense. ", she immediately backflipped regaining her footing as she looked at the duo with a fierce look. Blood splashed from her wound alarming her but she quickly used some of her Nux to stop the bleeding. 

Lyc followed up with another slash aiming to sever her other arm but he immediately froze in space as he approached her vicinity.

"Hahahaha", her menacing laughter rang out.

"I really let you trash injure me to this extent. Laughable!!!! You can die now.", she raised her hand and squeezed It into a fist. The space around Lyc began to close on him.

"Wait…. Aghhhhhh", Lyc could feel his body being compressed under the influence of her Nux. He bled from his orifices and his eyeballs began to pop out of their sockets.

Ernest quickly switched into 5th gear and the greenish blade he released disappeared. He slammed both hands on the floor and his whole body was doused with a greenish hue. His body seemed to turn ethereal mimicking that of a nymph.

"This battle is over now….",

Aspect Execution: Forest's…."

 In that exact moment Ernest felt his whole-body freeze. Blood doused his face but that wasn't why he couldn't move. He couldn't move because he could not. Body parts littered the area and the beautiful woman approached Ernest.

What the?

"Well…. That one was quite sturdy. He lasted for 5 seconds. How long will you last? I'm dying to find out", she had a seductive smirk on her face but behind that hid a sadistic personality that personally wished torture Ernest to death.

"Fuck….",
