The battle raged on with me getting my ass beat black and blue.
All my defenses were shattered by her superior physical strength
I could just barely match her speed, and only did with 'charge' which drained my magical energy
My senses are better, but seeing as I could barely track her movements, that doesn't really matter
I figured out she only had basic enhancement magic and that black flame, but those two were more than enough to overpower me almost completely, the only reason this battle is still going on is my self-regeneration skill which keeps the damage I receive minimal and the fact that despite her superior strength she seems to be slowing down.
But it still pissess me off the fact that I can do nothing but defend her constantly onslaught of blows.
The area around us is pretty much destroyed, craters everywhere in the floor and walls, the ground is singed and cracked from my fire breath and earth magic, bits of black stone scattered around the area because it can't do shit against her.
This is getting annoying
And my magical energy reserves are getting low
"Earth Magic: Black Stone Cage" I try to trap her in a birdcage made of black stone, and it only holds for a couple of seconds before she shatters it once again, but it gave me enough time to enact my plan.
I admit
I can't win
My regeneration is not infallible and my stamina is getting low, I'm tired and beaten, winning at this point is a pipe-dream.
This means the only thing left to do is either escape
Which is not happening because I refuse to run
Or send her far away, this is my best bet at the moment.
She rushes at me once again and I do the same
"Charge, Enhance Strength" I use both my boosts and match her speed, we meet in the middle, and our fists connect creating a shockwave and sending the little bits of debris flying away as the shockwave shakes the entire area.
I start unloading a shit ton of blows against her body, which she meets with punches of her own, the ground is constantly rumbling as our continuous clash goes on for a while before I take her by surprise by headbutting her.
She recoils slightly and I take this chance to drop-kick her away, Landing on all 4s "Earth Magic: Black stone pod" I trap her in a cylindric capsule "Earth Magic: Launch" the capsule shoots upwards at breakneck speeds nearing the speed of sound but not yet breaking it, the capsule digs through the ground as it continues to shoot upwards never to be seen again.
I fall to the ground exhausted and tired after a long ass battle, Cadre runs over "Papa Won!" he cheers as he runs around me excitedly. It's a good thing I finished her when I did because both my arms are broken and my regeneration had stopped, if I was even a second late I would have died.
But hey
As cadre said
I won, so good on me
And even though it was a hard battle
It was a pretty fun fight
I'd like to fight her sometime again
When I'm stronger of course
*Crash*
Oh you gotta be fucking kidding me
The capsule crashed into the ground and the woman bursts out once again, and she doesn't look injured in the slightest.
*Sigh*
Goddamnit
She just started looking at me with that same blank gaze as before
Throughout this entire fight, not once has her expression shifted in the slightest, at first it was kinda unnerving but I couldn't dwell on it seeing as my life was on the line.
I don't know why? But I feel like she's not all there, her movements felt very...how should I say, robotic, like it, was a programmed response because she was strong yeah, but at the same time, she was very straightforward and uncreative with her attacks.
Even when I blocked and countered her, she never changed her attack patterns at all
Shit, she might actually be a robot.
Think that's why she never actually got tired, she might just be low on battery power
And now she started walking towards me
...
Fuck
