"Shut the fuck up, you cunt."
"That's my line, you dumb bitch."
Evan calmly replied in a manner that somehow ticked Leviah off even more, to the point where Greed stated that Wrath would have a full-course meal if he was present.
The man looked towards Pride, the one person who delighted in calling Leviah 'Dumb', with narrowed eyes, before turning back to Evan while nodding to himself.
'These two are definitely in on something.'
When he looked back up, Evan and Leviah were engaged in close-quarters combat, and the Hero's sword coated in Mesarthim's flames drew an arc through the air as they went straight for Leviah's arm.
**SWISH!!
"?!"
Much to his surprise, and that of everyone else present, Evan succeeded in cutting her arm off from the point between her wrist and elbow.
'The resistance I felt was too little!'
Evan knew the sensation of cutting off body parts all too well, and what he felt just now was very off from what he was supposed to feel.
During the 'Seven Deadly Sins Massacre' in the game, Leviah had a very high base power, unlike Pride and Greed who had to start regaining their power from the Master Level.
From the get-go, she was an Epic Level existence, and at the time the Disaster occurred in the game, it was impossible for the player to be high levelled enough to defeat her; thus, the NPC who was saddled with that task was 'Beast King' Kolvar.
It was a tough fight even for the Transcendent, due to the millions she had killed by the time he arrived and her Idiosyncrasy which activated upon her opponent's death.
That same base Leviah was who Evan was fighting, an Inferior Stage Epic level.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer 'SS-' durability was high enough that a small mountain could collapse on her and her major concern would be the need to brush the dust off her clothes.
Evan was only damaging her because of Mesarthim and BoD which made it so he ignored this durability, but even with that, the boy's slash didn't pack enough power to cut off her arm.
The fact that he succeeded in doing so, was suspicious as fuck.
And he was definitely right to be wary.
"Sacrificial Summoning."
"Yikes."
Greed couldn't help but comment as he saw the flesh on Leviah's lopped-off hand suddenly start bubbling up uncontrollably.
Evan knew that he should not let whatever she was planning to succeed, so he sent a wave of ice to freeze the arm in its tracks, however, Leviah blitzed in and stabbed the ground with her spear, using her 'Frozen Earth' skill to block his attack.
**GROOAARRRR!!!!!
A loud roar boomed out as a massive hulking figure emerged from behind Leviah. Standing at five metres tall, was a bear with a snow-white fire and a mane of fire around its neck.
Additionally, lightning could be seen coursing along its arms while its eyes seemed to glow a misty blue hue.
The bear's mane glowed and it opened its maw, unleashing a stream of fire towards Evan while lightning strikes rained down from above.
"Mesarthim: Self Immolation."
The boy calmly activated his skill's technique in response, and from his calm, Leviah knew that this one bear would not be enough.
She held up her spear and calmy sliced her arm from her elbow, letting the severed piece fall on the floor and transform into a two-metre-tall brow deer, with antlers glowing red and blue.
The Crystal Deer charged towards Evan with seemingly reckless abandon, and in response, Evan stomped his foot on the ground and erected a dozen walls of ice in an instant.
The Crystal Deer's red antler began glowing and it used the antler's power to melt through Evan's ice walls with ease.
"Fucking hell."
Evan stretched out his arms and deployed two instances of elemental shield, one that blocked the deer's antlers while the other one blocked the lightning from above.
Leviah blitzed in at this moment, her spear already thrusting towards his head as the boy spoke.
"I don't need to use my hands to deploy my skill, you know?"Certainly, Leviah knew this before he even finished speaking as her spear had collided with a spherical barrier of ice that stopped it in its tracks.
Everlasting chains burst out of the ground and wrapped around the Crystal Deer's head, a moment before Evan yanked the chains and slammed the monster's head into the ground.
He then spun around and unleashed a strike using Pride's 'Origin Sword Style', something Leviah could not deal with while missing an arm.
**BAAMMM!!!
The woman's body was launched through the air with explosive force, slamming into the wall of the boss room while Evan returned his focus to the Crystal Deer.
"G—"
Before the monster could even complete a grunt, Evan had already appeared beside it and unleashed a 'Vortex', shredding the Crystal Deer's head to pieces of flesh that splattered everywhere.
'Let's release our limits for a bit now…'
The Energem Reclaimer on his arm lit up with a glow as he activated 'Limit Break' and kicked off the ground, dashing towards the Frostfire Thunder Bear, and throwing out a punch with Fracture activated.
Since one punch didn't do the trick, the boy unleashed five more in an instant, bashing the bear's head into a mangled pile of flesh and bones.
As soon as he did that, Leviah's spear pierced through the air aiming for his head, but in his Limit Break + BoD state, he could see it very clearly and react even faster than before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Unforged appeared in his hand and he knocked the spear out of the way, spinning around and throwing a kick that knocked its wielder back.
It was then that he noticed that the bodies of the Crystal Deer and Frostfire Thunder Bear had shrunk down to tiny balls of flesh, which then flew through the air and towards Leviah, reconstituting her arm and reattaching itself.
However, he could see that some patches of her skin were missing, as if they had been ripped out, and he attributed it to him obliterating the head of the Crystal Deer.
She flipped over and landed on her feet, coating her spear in her aura before looking right at Evan.
"You shouldn't look at me too much, I'd be tempted to become a copycat for real."
Right after Evan said this, the boy's figure disappeared, with Leviah's vanishing the second after.
There was silence in the room, until the sound of their movements finally rang out.
**BOOM!!
Another Sonic boom later, they clashed again and had their bodies blown away by the resultant shockwaves, slamming into opposite walls of the boss room.
Both of them quickly removed themselves from the human-
sized holes they had created on the wall, jumping down onto the ground with their both hands on their weapons.
Evan used his Elemental Destruction Fusion, layering Crimson ice and Prismatic Flames as he rose his sword overhead in preparation to attack.
Leviah pulled her spear backwards and took a deep breath, engulfing the polearm in her dark red aura as she prepared to use her Unique Skill.
"…"
"…"
Everyone watched with bated breaths, anticipating the result of the final clash between the two of them.
"Alright, that's a wrap."
A Final Clash that never came as Evan casually retracted his energy, deactivated all his skills simultaneously and sheathed the Unforged.
