Inside the mid-section of her spiritual channel, Lois was busy absorbing every last bit of Pitviper Goron's venom that was spreading through her body using her physique and dumping it into the spiritual end of her spiritual channel. Inside the spiritual plane, the venom would break down to its basic energies becoming one with the energies in the spiritual plane, and no longer pose a threat to Lois.

Finally getting rid of the poison, Lois activated the item card 'God Slayer' as she shifted her compressed body out of her spiritual channel and appeared right at the spot where she entered her spiritual channel.

Arriving in the physical plane, Lois's body had dawned a black-gold radiance that protected her from the concentrated Pitviper Gorgon's venom surrounding her. This radiance covering Lois seems to be originating from the golden buckler shield which sheaths a falchion sword.

Lois unsheathed the falchion sword from the buckler shield as she glared at the fusion Southern emperor who was surrounded by the vapors of Pitviper Gorgon's poison and said, "Petty tricks won't work against me. But you did manage to make me angry."

*Poof*

The fusion southern emperor became alert, feeling the presence of Lois in their spiritual channel. Seeing that Lois had overcome the poison, they had no choice but to return to a defensive stance while summoning, "Giga-Knuckle-Busters."

Lois appeared on the fusion southern emperor's right side and hacked at her with her sword, before the fusion southern emperor could react, managing to cut into her flesh but to her surprise, her sword blade was stuck in the fusion southern emperor's flesh, stopping her from escaping using her vanishing trick causing her to yell, "You, barbarians are crazy."

Lois never expected the fusion southern emperor to use her flesh to grab hold of the sword and opt to fight by exchanging damage for damage. But considering that the fusion southern emperor was not trying to win but stall, it seemed a plausible option.

Using this movement, Anna(Ann) threw her first dawning Giga-knuckle-buster at Lois, but Lois defended using her buckler shield. And made use of the force from Anna(Ann)'s punch to retreat while freeing her sword from Anna(Ann)'s flesh.

Soon Lois vanished, and Anna(Ann)'s felt Lois presence in their spiritual channel. This time Lois appeared behind Anna(Ann) and hacked at her with the blunt side of the sword using all of her might, having learned from the result of their last clash.

If the sharp side of Lois's sword was able to cut then the dull side was able to create heavy blunt damage to the target. Causing Anna(Ann) to be thrown out of the crate and into the air.

Lois then vanished and appeared right behind the fusion southern emperor who was thrown to the air, and once again hacked at her with the blunt side of the sword. With the blow, the fusion southern emperor was blown in the opposite direction of her previous acceleration.

Again, Lois vanished and this time appeared above the fusion southern emperor and hacked her with her blunt side.

In a few seconds, the tides of the whole standstill battle between Lois and Anna(Ann) had turned in Lois's favor, who gained an advantage thanks to her instant teleportation-like trick, which helped her to use the fusion southern emperor as the ball to the blunt side of her sword.

But Lois was not satisfied with the result because the fusion southern emperor's body was very durable despite the previous severe wounds covering its body so she was not sure if she had managed to make any actual damage to the fusion southern emperor's body.

'Anna!!!' Ann yelled mentally, she and Anna, both could not catch a break to communicate because of Lois's chain of sneak attacks. They were being continuously sneak attacked before they could even get to stabilize and take a stance against the incoming attack or the next one. It was as if they were caught in a never-ending loop. Though they never took real damage, this was just too embarrassing for any card fighter.

*Boom*

This time Lois once again appeared above the fusion southern emperor and was about to attack her with the blunt side of her sword but before she could the fusion southern emperor exploded, causing turbulent energy to spread throughout her surroundings. Lois was caught in it too and took small damage but most importantly she was stunned for a second. Using this second to her advantage the fusion southern emperor grabbed Lois by her neck, saying, "Got you."

"Detonating a rune? First venom and now this, I didn't think you could stoop any lower but you keep surprising me," Lois muttered as the grip of the bloody fusion southern emperor around her neck grew stronger. However, Lois managed to add a few more words, "Well guess what, two can play that game."

*Boom*

Under the constant sneak attacks from Lois, Ann decided to detonate a few of the broken runes that they gathered for the boy in hopes to get them an opportunity to turn tables on Lois who kept teleporting in and out of their spiritual channel and sneak attacking them. At the cost of further antagonizing their existing wounds and adding new ones, Ann took a calculated chance to get out of the embarrassing situation and succeeded, not only were they able to catch Lois off guard but also capture her.

But Ann never considered that desperate Lois would choose to do the same. Caught in the explosion caused by Lois detonating the broken runes in her possession, the fusion southern emperor's body finally reached its limit. Their grip around Lois's neck loosened before they fell to the ground with no resistance, like a kite with a broken string.

As for Lois, having focused most of the explosion on the fusion southern emperor and under the effect of the black-gold radiance of 'God Slayer' she mostly managed to come out of the explosion unscathed.

Seeing the figure of the fusion southern emperor falling to the ground, Lois was not done, she vanished and soon appeared above her preparing to drive the sword through her heart however she paused and vanished into her spiritual channel.

Then, as soon as Lois vanished, a huge ball of energy passed through her location and vanished on the horizon. Then a figure appeared next to the free-falling fusion southern emperor and caught her in a princess carry saying, "You have done enough, leave the rest to me."

Arriving at the ground, the figure looked at Anna(Ann) dearly before carefully placing her on the ground to feed her healing potions but was stopped by Anna(Ann) uttering, "I can't heal in this form."

Yes, the reason why Anna(Ann) did not try to heal their fusion body was that as a penalty for not fusing their mind the fusion body could not heal or make use of any recovery buff.

Lois appeared out of her spiritual channel to see who sneak attacked her but could not believe what she saw, "You, you… How could it be you?"

Seeing Lois, Anna(Ann) looked at her young benefactor with an expression filled with worry, self-blame, and desperation mouthing, "Run."
