Chapter 1543 - 219 - Sins Vs. Leon (5)
Satania’s fist drove toward my chest with enough force to crush solid stone.
"RAAAAAAAGHHH!!!"
She attacked with a shout.
I stepped to the side with barely enough room.
Her punch passed close enough for the pressure alone to make my clothes snap violently against my body.
She wasn’t the type to miss twice in succession.
Her elbow came immediately after with relentless precision.
I caught it using Ayuru before it could connect.
The impact forced my arm downward despite my guard.
Her knee followed only a heartbeat later without slowing.
Samui intercepted it before it could strike me.
She flowed seamlessly from one attack into the next without the slightest hesitation, refusing to leave behind even the smallest opening in her offense.
Fighting her didn’t feel like facing another ordinary person anymore.
It felt like standing in front of a natural disaster and somehow expecting it to stop moving.
The others had no intention of standing back and watching.
A large sword flashed toward my back with deadly speed.
I ducked beneath it before it could reach me.
Satania’s fist slammed into her own ally’s blade instead.
The instant their attacks disrupted each other, I lunged forward without hesitation.
Both swords crossed firmly in front of me together.
Two diagonal slashes burst outward with tremendous force.
Several figures retreated at the same time to avoid them.
I chased after them immediately without giving them breathing room.
Giving them room to recover would only make everything more difficult for me later.
I closed the distance before they could fully regain their footing.
My left sword forced one opponent backward immediately.
My right sword intercepted another incoming attack at the same time.
A third strike came toward my shoulder from the side.
I slammed Ayuru’s pommel directly into the incoming weapon before driving my shoulder into its wielder.
"RUuughhhh!" Levi groaned.
The collision knocked her off balance almost instantly.
Without wasting even a moment, I pivoted toward the next target.
Three exchanges passed by in rapid succession.
Four exchanges followed immediately after without slowing.
Five exchanges rang out before anyone could breathe.
The ringing of steel and even the explosions of magic never stopped for even a moment.
The battlefield became nothing more than overlapping streaks of motion and steel as well as smoke gathering from using too much mana.
Nobody remained in the same place for longer than a single instant.
My breathing grew noticeably heavier as the fight continued.
My muscles screamed in protest with every movement I made.
Even so, I couldn’t allow myself to slow down now.
Slowing down wasn’t an option if I wanted to survive.
A shadow suddenly appeared directly overhead.
I looked up just in time to react.
Satania came crashing down with terrifying speed toward me.
Both of her hands slammed downward at the same time.
I crossed Ayuru and Samui above my head to block.
The collision cracked the earth beneath my feet with tremendous force.
My knees bent under the overwhelming pressure pressing down on me.
Stone shattered around my boots from the impact alone.
She smiled like she was enjoying every second.
I pushed back with everything I could muster.
Then I suddenly released all the pressure holding her back.
Her own momentum carried her forward before she realized it.
I slipped underneath her without wasting that opportunity.
Both swords flashed upward behind me with incredible speed.
She twisted in midair just before the blades reached her.
The blades missed her by mere inches despite the timing.
The shockwaves behind those strikes didn’t miss at all.
"Nnnnnnnnnaaaa!!!"
They clipped her just enough to send her even higher into the sky.
I immediately swung both swords once again without hesitation.
Another slash followed immediately after the previous attack.
Compressed slashes climbed after her one after another without pause.
She avoided most of them through sheer skill.
The few she couldn’t avoid were shattered before reaching her.
The others had already made their move during that exchange.
Levi attacked from directly behind me without warning.
Asmodeus descended rapidly from above to join the assault.
Beelebub tried to pin me in place before I could move.
Their coordination had become terrifyingly precise as the battle continued.
Almost every attack forced me directly into the path of another attack.
Almost all of their plans fit together perfectly.
I refused to move the way they wanted me to.
Instead of retreating, I stepped even deeper into the middle of all six of them.
That decision was the last thing they expected from me.
The distance between all of us vanished completely.
Long swings became awkward because of the close distance.
Wide attacks became nearly impossible to perform effectively.
The battle transformed into a relentless exchange of elbows, knees, shoulders, and short sword strikes.
A blade scraped across my sleeve during the exchange.
My elbow slammed hard into someone’s waiting jaw.
A fist grazed my ribs without fully connecting.
My knee drove directly into another person’s stomach.
The exchanges became even faster than before.
The distance between us became even closer.
The attacks became even sharper and more dangerous.
Nobody had enough room left to breathe properly.
Nobody had enough room left to think clearly.
The battlefield had become nothing more than an endless blur of steel and motion.
Then Satania returned to stand before me once again.
She landed directly in front of me without hesitation.
Our eyes met for only the briefest fraction of a second.
She rushed toward me without saying a word.
I rushed toward her with equal determination.
The distance between us disappeared in a single instant.
Her fists and my swords collided once more with explosive force.
The impact echoed across the battlefield like rolling thunder as the other six closed in around me again, determined to overwhelm me through sheer numbers alone.
I tightened my grip around Ayuru and Samui with renewed determination.
If they wanted to overwhelm me, they were going to have to try a whole lot harder than this.
