Suddenly from their sight, Ceres vanished with no sound of movements or a trace left behind.
Neither Sakura nor Yukikaze could see her or feel her at all. It was like she turned into something invisible to them.
Sakura's instincts screamed so hard and immediately ducked down, and once she did that, a flash of light went through the air, exactly where she was standing.
Swoosh!
The slash cut the house that was in front of her in half and went through the other behind it.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
Looking at the sight in front of her, Sakura felt dread and cold sweat was running down her body.
"Oh, you dodged. But not next time." Ceres said softly before she disappeared and appeared in front of Sakura who was still down on the ground, then with a powerful kick, she was sent back in a high speed, smashing intot several houses in the process.
BOOOOOM!!!!
BAAAAAM!!!!
Yukikaze immediately appeared behind Ceres and slashed at her neck aiming to cut it, but the woman in question dodged easily and swiftly sent a back elbow punch at Yukikaze's stomach making her unable to breath for a second and cough up some saliva, trying to breathe.
"Cough! Cough! Wha—"
But before she could complete her word, Ceres thrusted her dangerous dagger in the middle of her chest.
Clang!
Ceres looked at her dagger that was rebounded and couldn't go further, and using this chance, Yukikaze immediately jumped back to keep distance between them.
She was panting and looked at where she stabbed her with her dagger and sighed in relief. The suit she was wearing was enchanted by Austin, so of course something like that stab couldn't go through it.
Ceres who looked at the suit Yukikaze was wearing didn't react and was just switching her gaze between her dagger and Yukikaze's suit.
While Yukikaze was looking at Ceres while taking a stance with her two short swords, the said woman vanished alerting her and before she could react..
Clang!
'What?! This is too absurd.' Yukikaze felt an unbelievable pain hitting her back before she gritted her teeth and spun her body swiftly and slashed at Ceres who dodged and and countered with her dagger.
Clang!
Again Yukikaze blocked this time and countered.
Clang!
Clang!
Then a series of slashes and stabs started with sparks flew everywhere. Both women were attacking in a very high speed that was impossible for the naked eyes to keep up.
It was fast and deadly. Daggers Vs. Short Swords.
A fight to determine who is the strongest began. Yukikaze was attacking fiercely while Ceres was either blocking or countering the blows.
No one wants to give up at all. Then suddenly Sakura who was idle and finally came back appeared behind Ceres and punched her hard in the back.
"Ugh!"
Ceres felt like her back was broken into pieces before she was sent flying away giving Yukikaze a breath.
"Haah..Haah.. what should we do now?" Yukikaze said while panting.
"We need to use our spiritual energy and kill this bitch." Sakura said with a frown.
"Yeah, we need to fucking kill this bitch." Yukikaze said with hungry smile.
Both women were engulfed in orange and brown energy, then suddenly they disappeared.
Swoosh!
Ceres who was already standing up, felt her instincts screaming before she jumped up.
In where she was standing, the two women appeared, one from the front and the other from the back with their weapons crossed with each other.
They looked up at Ceres, then they disappeared again.
"Hm?!" (Ceres)
Immediately Ceres felt a pain in her arms and legs before she vanished and appeared on the ground.
Then without caring about the wound caused by Sakura's daggers and Yukikaze's short swords, her daggers were engulfed by dark blue energy before she moved in a swift and flexible movements toward the two women who was still in the air.
[Dark Daggers - First Form: Ultrasonic Slash]
Before both women were able to realize what she was going to do, Ceres appeared behind them and sent one single slash at both of them with each dagger.
Clang!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!
The slash was large and strong but the protection on the suits prevented it from cutting both women in half, but due to the attack being strong it sent them smashing on the ground.
"Ugh!" (Sakura)
"Shit!" (Yukikaze)
After that Ceres moved again in an unnoticed speed appearing in front of Sakura who was struggling to stand up and was slashed by her daggers.
Sakura was unable to keep up with her speed and ended up being pushed back several meters.
While Yukikaze was punched by Ceres fist that was engulfed in dark blue energy.
BOOOOOOOM!!
"UHHHHHHGH!"
Yukikaze felt like she was being hit by a truck. The punch was heavy and powerful that she felt like her insides was being crushed.
She had a trail of blood on her lips and chin while her head was bleeding.
"Get away from her!"
Sakura said as she appeared in front of Ceres and kicked her in the stomach so hard with her aura.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The impact of the kick was strong that made Ceres feel pain and cough up some blood in her mask.
"Yukikaze, use your aura and stop the bleeding and heal your wounds while I will fight with her until you come back."
"G-Got it, cough!" She said while coughing some blood.
Then Sakura with her aura dancing around her, stomped on the ground making a small crater before dashing at incredible speed at Ceres who was ready to fight Sakura with her daggers that were engulfed in dark blue energy along with her body as well.
Now it was a battle of daggers. Both daggers met creating many sparks that flew everywhere and exchanged several blows.
Clang! CLANG! Clang! Clang! Clang!
BOOOOOOOM!!!! BAAAAAAAAAM!!
Attack here and attack there, they were moving in an incredible speed that the naked eyes wouldn't be able to follow.
Ceres's attacks and dagger techniques were deadly and precise while Sakura's attacks were strong and fast aiming at the vital points of the target.
No one was backing down, their auras and energies flared colliding with each other.
Several houses were being cut in halves and many pieces and the ground had several cuts and craters on it.
[Dark Daggers - Third Form: Dark Flare]
Ceres hit the ground with her daggers creating a very powerful wave of dark blue energy hitting Sakura so hard and sent her flying at an incredible speed.
Sakura crashed into multiple houses before she stopped after hitting a tree.
"Cough! Cough! Guah!" She coughed big amounts of blood as the attack damaged her internally.
This wave of dark blue energy could damage the internal organs of the target. And the less the number of targets, the more powerful the attack was.
Sakura kept coughing big amounts of blood as she felt sever pain inside her.
Her internal organs were damaged severely.
'Cannot give up yet. I must fight. For me, for my sister and for my husband!' she screamed internally before she stood up and spit some blood on the ground.
"I will show you now, my power."
She said before the aura around her flared and took a stance.
[Lightning Daggers - First Form]
Rumble! Rumble!
Sakura vanished in a moment leaving a trail of lightening.
Ceres became on high alert when she saw this, she felt like if she didn't focus, she would die in the next moment.
But then, she heard it, the rumble.
[Verschwinden]
Once she heard that, suddenly, multiple slashed and wounds appeared on her whole body making blood gush out from different places.
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
Ceres felt sever pain in all of her body with blood coming out in huge amounts.
Crack!
The mask on her face was cracked and broken revealing her face while coughing so much blood.
Sakura's eyes were flickering with lightening while she was panting while looking at Ceres who was on ground.
The fight wasn't over yet as long as the enemy wasn't dead.
