“Come on! I’m Hilary, your little girl! Are you really serious about that?” she squeezed her face with both hands, as if she was trying to show off her face to me.

“You may have the same face and body, but you aren’t my Hilary,” I didn’t show any softness towards her. Instead, my cold voice was what welcomed her words. “My Hilary is dead! And if you don’t prove yourself worthy, then forget about living any longer. I’ll kill you with my hands better than letting you live a single more second!”

“Humph!” and just when she realised how dead serious I was, she finally showed her true colours to me.

The cute and pretty looking Hilary changed. Her body grew a little bigger, her skin changed colour to dark redness, and even two horns appeared from her forehead.

The air she emitted was quite different from before. She seemed much stronger and far more dangerous than before.

“Do you think I stayed all this time here without recovering my former strength? Humph! One way or another, you are going to submit to me!”

Her tone seemed like it came from the depths of hell. At the same time, dark red fog came out from her body, and the fog that covered the room from before turned into redness as well.

When that happened, I felt my connection with the chariot and outside world got severed. “Interesting! I thought the world that bastard lived in before was something prepared before long. I never thought this would be an ability related to your race…”

I didn’t feel any panic. Instead I appeared calm, while looking around at all these changes as if I was watching something amusing.

“This is our born ability,” she said while the fog started to swirl around her hands, to end up forming long and curved dark red daggers.

They were more like swords than daggers. But compared to the big hands they had, I was sure they were daggers.

“Transforming your energy into something physical and real… That’s awesome!” and unlike what she expected, I never showed a speck of fear.

All I felt was more excitement. I came down here to know more about my enemies. And fighting her in such a way seemed to satisfy my questions.

“Don’t celebrate too soon. You were just lucky to escape the clutches of that careless dude. If not for getting him unprepared, you wouldn’t have succeeded in getting out with your life intact.”

“Oh, and what about you? Are you prepared?” my eyes shone in bright light when I heard her words.

I had to admit, she got a point. My kill for that fiend back then was out of my luck and his carelessness.

She seemed quite prepared to deal with me. However if she thought she got a chance to harm me, then she had to reconsider again.

I didn’t come this prepared for a fight with her. But if she thought that I’d be that easy to handle, then I beg to differ.

“Watch and decide for yourself!” the moment she said that, she seemed to increase the output of her energy, turning the entire world into a dark red fog world.

Then the entire room vanished and the two of us seemed to float in the middle of dark red clouds.

“I won’t show you mercy until you submit,” she waved her two daggers, and I felt like the entire world was answering to a call, forming two huge crescents of dark red energy that came so fast towards me.

“I won’t stop until you submit to me as well,” as she started using her weapons and energy, it was time for me to use mine.

The next moment I took out my pillar and instantly activated its shield skill. The shield got formed in one second, but it seemed to clash fiercely against the swirling fog around.

The shield which could expand for miles stopped only at tens of metres. And from its surface, I could hear loud sizzling noises as if it was getting eaten away by fire.

Then her two attacks came and landed fiercely over my shield.

“Do you think such a thing can help you? Humph! Just look at how pathetic it is! With two simple waves of my daggers, your shield ended up in deep cracks!”

Yet as she was busy speaking, I kept using my shield skill over and over again. When she finished talking, the look on her face was priceless.

She stared wide -eyed as my shields combined started to show another level of strength.

“You can belittle anything, but not my pillar’s shields please,” I calmly said, taking out tons of bones, before starting to absorb their energy and gush these into the shields.

And the next moment, the shields that pushed the fog away for one hundred metres seemed to grow berserk and started pushing the fog for half a mile.

And the distance it covered grew up quite fast and didn’t show any sign of stopping.

“This world is mine! You can’t do whatever you like here!” she woke up from her momentarily daze, groaned as if she was a wounded beast.

I watched the entire fog swirl and placed much pressure over my shields. At the same time, many dagger-like shapes appeared.

When I thought these daggers would come at my shields, they waved themselves as if they got all controlled by her hands.

Endless slashes came towards my shields, and that attack looked quite formidable.

“Let me teach you how strong your man is,” against such a brutal attack, I didn’t hold back my strength anymore.

All the energy absorbed from my bones went into the shields. At the same time, I took out more bones, filling the gained space and covering the ground with bones.

Then without any hesitation I activated the shocking counter attack of my shields. And as these slashes drew faster and closer, my shields shone brightly and released a fierce looking shockwave.
