Finally, Anna, who was transformed by the dark pill, stared at Incursio; she seemed petite before the almost two meters tall Anna.
"Shall we start?" Anna asked.
"Sure," Incursio nodded her head.
Swoosh!
Anna disappeared and reappeared before Incursio, and she raised her right leg in the air before striking it towards Incursio's face at supersonic speed. Her foot was engulfed in a dark mist as it struck down.
The air sliced apart with a screeching sound while a suffocating pressure lowered on Kiba. The air particles charged up under the orange radiance, and they exploded out.
All Incursio did was lean back to evade the attack slightly.
Swoosh!
The air current landed on the ground and cracked it apart.
As Anna retraced her leg, Incursio clenched her petite fist tightly and punched out.
Anna's expression didn't change in the slightest, and the punch passed right through her.
BANG!
Behind her, a tree exploded into fragments as the energy from Incursio's punch landed on it.
''Your level has gotten really higher, closer to peak Saint Realm. Not bad.'' Incursio commented; even if her enemy had become stronger, she still had that smile on her face.
Anna didn't respond; a dark force was corrupting her mind, all she wanted to do at the moment was to destroy things, to rip Incursio apart.
And Incursio could feel her bloodthirst. This would be fun, the former Number 2 thought.
The next moment, both of them transformed into light streams as they began the fight earnestly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheir speed was far too fast for normal eyes to follow. The only thing the beasts and the birds in the vicinity saw was a collision of two light beams.
In the air, Anna opened her palm and then clutched it.
Swoosh!
The sky turned dark while the sunlight in the region concentrated above her hand. The temperature in the area lowered while small icicles formed up in the air.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh!
Those icicles shot toward Incursio at supersonic speed, Anna was sure it would deal some damage, but just in case, she attacked with her tail. She could strike from the left.
Incursio could read her enemy's thoughts; if she were normal, she would have probably been injured. Her body became faster all of a sudden.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, Incursio threw dozen of punches, destroying the icicles; she even caught Anna's sneaky tail.
''What?" Anna was shocked, and before she knew it, she was already seeing the world upside down.
Bam! Boom!
She was violently slammed onto the ground, and the ground cracked apart, forming a giant crater.
Normally, she wouldn't have felt much pain because of her strengthened physics, but a fireball was smashed onto her before she could get up.
BOOM!
''Gofuh!" Anna's mouth fell open; blood flowed out; she even vomited a bit of internal organ.
'Haven't I become stronger? Strong like her?' Though she was losing her rationality, it was not like she had turned into a mindless puppet. She could still think; therefore, she couldn't understand why this kept happening; with her newfound power, she would have begun her ascension; firstly, she would have eliminated Incursio and gone a level up before starting her revenge. However, it was not what happened; she couldn't kill the enemy, and she seemed unable to bring out the girl's full strength.
''Just why?" She asked aloud.
''Well, it's because you're a defective good. You can never win with your current level; maybe you could if it was a stronger pill, but I doubt Eight has something like that.''
Like a shadow, Incursio appeared in front of Anna. Right after answering her question, which she hadn't expected to get an answer for, Incursio released a bit of her aura and locked Anna in place before touching her forehead.
''Rest!"
Immediately, Anna's body was ignited.
''!!!!!!!!!!"
She was reduced in ashes in an instant, not suffering too much, the black pill she swallowed was reformed, and as if it was alive, the pill with a dark red line tried to escape but,
''Hmph!"
Incursio caught, the pill struggled but couldn't escape.
''Let's burn it,'' Incursio mumbled with a nasty smile.
''Don't!"
Immediately, the air distorted, and from the other side, a man in a lab coat appeared. This man was not tall, 1.68m (5.5ft) and he wore thick glasses, and his gray hair was unkempt.
''Wow! Finally, feeling like showing up, aren't you? Well, it's normal. I'm about to crush your research. Still disgusting as always Maddog's Apprentice.'' Incursio mocked, squeezing the pill inside her palm.
The man who appeared frowned; he could feel his baby crying.
''Don't call me that. I'm smart than that fool.'' The man shouted at Incursio while secretly making some preparations.
''I see, but he was still your mentor; he taught you everything. I remember someone running all the time after him like a dog.'' Incursio added with a sneer.
BOOM!
A terrifying aura exploded from the man in a lab coat, destroying everything around them; even the last survivor of the group he engaged for his test was reduced into dust.
''Wow! Calm down, Eight!" Incursio said exaggeratedly. She did this to hide her surprise; the Eight she knew shouldn't be this strong; something must have happened; Lord Thanos must have done something.
''Don't call me that. I'm Five now.'' The former Eight corrected Incursio.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was surprised, but she understood after a bit of thinking.
''Let me ask you this.'' Five said while looking directly into Incursio's eyes.
''Why are you doing this? Why are you rebelling? Is it because of revenge?" He was curious; no matter how much he thought about her couldn't understand; she was created by the organization; she should live and die for the organization, no matter what was done to her.
''Well, it's because I'm switching ship,'' Incursio answered.
A completely unexpected answer for Five.
''Huh?"
At first, he thought he had misheard. Did she just call them a sinking ship? How ridiculous. Lord Thanos must have hit her too hard.
However, when he saw how serious Incursio was, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
''Pft! Hahahaha! You can't be serious. We are the winner.''
''Well, it's why you'll die,'' Incursio said, unbothered by her former comrade's laugh.
''What?" Five stopped laughing and was about to glare at Incursio when she threw the dark red pill at him.
''Catch!"
Five was still a scientist at the core. His research was more important, especially when the result was in front of him; he couldn't stop himself; he forgot that Incursio was now the enemy.
Just as he caught the pill and was about to sigh in relief.
Incursio appeared before him. Five immediately tried to unleash his strength, but it was already too late.
''Stop!" Incursio ordered before unleashing all her mana; she used her time element to stop Five.
Her petite hand pierced through his chest, destroying his heart.
''As I said, you died.'' She said before tossing Five's body to the side; the body was soon engulfed in flame.
''With this, they would stop their experimentation for a while.'' Incursio left those words behind before disappearing.
Her goal since the start was to lure this man out. She knew he would eventually come after her if she kept destroying the hidden laboratories; after all, he inherited them after Maddog's death. He was second to him. Because Five wouldn't want more damage to his laboratories, he would come to take care of her even when he received the order not to.
Incursio aimed for this, it wasn't sure to work, but in the end, it worked. Lord Thanos would be furious she was sure of this. She would hide and increase her level for the incoming battle.
