May could feel an ominous aura coming out of the battle armor as she prepared herself for the fight.
Kwinto expanded a bit more to provide may more mobility. Her staff remained the same yet May tightened her grip on it.
She put the staff at its maximum weight and started rotating it in her hands. Briana threw her dagger in the air and caught it by the hilt.
In the blink of an eye, the two women dashed towards each other and struck forward with their weapons. May's staff had a bigger reach and managed to reach Briana first.
The latter simply ignored the staff and let it hit her abdomen. The staff clashed against the metal armor but didn't deal any damage to Briana.
In fact, she continued ahead while holding her dagger tightly. May was surprised for a few seconds before expanding her staff.
Briana was taken away by the expanded staff but not before she managed to throw her dagger towards May.
A black mist seemed to be oozing out of the blade, giving May a bad feeling. She used Kwinto to get away from the dagger but much to her annoyance, the dagger follower after them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIts speed was even faster than her own, making her grit her teeth. May changed her staff back to its original form before making it thicker.
The staff got too big for her too handle and she had to throw it towards the incoming dagger. The two divine weapons clashed together, each trying to push the other away.
"Don't depend on your weapon." Briana's voice suddenly entered May's ears as the princess appeared directly behind her.
Briana's arms wrapped around May's neck and caught her in a choke grip. The armor on Briana's body started glowing as May felt her divine energy being drained from her body.
She started struggling to get free yet the more she tried, the harder she got trapped. Kwinto tried to shake off Briana yet her armor was able to absorb Kwinto's energy as well.
"Your weapon can't save you and your little cloud will be drained dry by me. You really think you are the only special person just because you have a divine weapon?" Briana snorted.
May didn't reply and instead looked at her arms where Briana's armor was touching her skin. Black spots of corrosion were appearing on her skin due to the usage of dark magic by Briana.
'May, calm down. Remember what Jason told you.' May took a deep breath and let her body go limp.
Briana wasn't surprised by this since she had experienced this before. Many people caught in her grip would let their body go loose before trying to get free.
"I am not special. I am not even a normal human," May said softly. " I am just a girl done wrong by people because of being different. I guess I was meant to be a weapon for you which was why you chased after my mother…"
Briana fell silent after hearing those words. Her mind suddenly remembered something from decades ago.
"You… you are that demi-human woman's child! We heard the rumors that you were actually a demi-god and were hiding in our territory. That was why me and the rest of supreme commanders were sent after your mother." Briana commented.
"So you were the one chasing after her?" May asked in an emotionless voice.
"I was personally chasing after her alongside the leader of the commanders. But when we caught her, she didn't have the child with her. We interrogated her for a few hours but not a single word escaped her lips.
However, the godly father of the child suddenly descended when we were about to kill her. I still remember the wrath he had inside him as he slaughtered all of us. Its a miracle we were brought back from the dead after what he did to us…" Briana shivered once.
"You were the one to torture and kill her…" May mumbled.
"Yes, I was alongside the others. If you really are that child, I gotta tell father about you and ask him to help me capture you. You will be a valuable weapon." Briana tightened her grip on may and increased the speed of the energy drain.
"A weapon, you say?" May raised her voice a pitch. "Let me show you what a real weapon is."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, Kwinto vanished from underneath May and merged together with her. Thunder wrapped her body like an armor before taking the shape of black robes.
Ruyi Jingu Bang flew in front of May, followed by Briana's dagger. However, without any warning, May grabbed her staff and smacked the dagger with it.
Thunder ran from he hand into the staff and super charged it with divine energy. The smack smashed the dagger into tiny pieces on the spot.
Briana's jaw dropped when she saw her divine weapon being destroyed with a simple smack.
Before she knew it, May had slipped away from her grip, leaving sparks of thunder behind. The demi-god was hovering in front of her with a murderous expression on her face.
"I am a weapon, a weapon of your creation. I will continue to be a weapon until all of you commanders wouldn't personally be killed by my own hands." May threatened before shooting forward.
Before Briana knew it, May's staff had hither body in the abdomen. Her armor cracked in half and raw thunder ran through her body.
Her entire body was burnt by the thunder before May smacked her on the head with the staff. She had adjusted the weight so that Briana's skull wouldn't be cracked on impact.
The princess flew downwards and penetrated the ground. A few bones broke inside her body and she started to bleed heavily.
May landed on the ground beside Briana, her eyes glowing brightly. Divine energy rampaged inside her body yet she did nothing to control it.
She simply clenched her staff and stared at Briana's head protruding from the ground. The same set of words continued to repeat inside May's head.
'I am simply a weapon…'
