In a matter of seconds, the whole room was turned into a mess. You couldn't even find one square meter that was unscathed or even mildly damaged. The destructive power of the Midnight song was just unbelievable.
However, no matter how many times Acht tried to land a hit on Lein, he couldn't. She kept dodging left and right like an agile snake that could sense every possible threat around it.
Her speed coupled with her sharp senses made her the worst possible target to try and hit from afar.
Added to that, his soul force was also plummeting at a rapid pace because of his consumption. He was not only floating in the air which was taxing on his soul energy but he was also sending invisible sword slashes continuously for quite a while.
That's why he had no other choice but to float back down to the ground. The moment he landed, a fist was closing up on his stomach that was moving at an impossibly fast speed.
He could barely even move the blade to interrupt the fist.
*KLING* *BOOOOM*
A shockwave strong enough to send anything around it faraway cleaned the place around the two of them from anything.
The containers along with the debris were all swept away easily.
Acht clenched his fists on the sword and used all of his strength to fight back the overwhelming strength of his opponent.
As for Lein, she didn't seem to be trying with all of her strength as her face was as calm as ever.
But, her calm demeanor immediately changed as she looked down for a second. At that split second, her eyes saw a sharp object barely one millimeter away from her face.
So, she tilted her head quickly and evaded the sharp object.
'Even ooze couldn't scratch her face.' Acht thought as he jumped back, making a distance between them.
"You are not bad for a little shit." Lein praised him as she cracked her fingers.
Acht didn't even feel slightly praised from that as her words were of no worth to him.
He only checked his arm which was still shaking slightly from the previous impact. However, he was still impressed at the durability of the sword which helped him resist for a while.
In normal cases, that impact would've crushed any sword as if it was made out of thin wood.
"So, now that I have a rough idea about your fighting style. I will get slightly serious." She added after a few seconds before immediately vanishing from her place.
'Tsk.' Acht clicked his tongue as he eyed his surroundings.
She didn't appear instantly but instead hid her presence. It was a technique that Acht learned not so far ago. All he had to do was to suppress his aura as much as he could and hide it inside his body for a specific period of time.
That will make individuals that try to sense his presence find it difficult to do that. What Lein was doing right now was exactly that.
The silence that invaded the place was chilling, to say the least, Acht felt his senses heighten to the maximum as he tried to feel even the slightest of fluctuations in the air.
Then, like a phantom, a presence appeared in front of him and sent a punch to his face.
His sword moved automatically to stop the hit and another violent impact happened.
This time, however, he couldn't even last for 3 seconds as Lein pushed far away. But, she didn't stop at that, she vanished again and followed him, stopping in front of the place where he would've landed.
She waited for him to reach her and then she tried to punch him again.
But, even though he was still in the middle of the air, trying to recover from the hit, he was able to change the direction of his body at the last second, making Lein miss the punch.
Her attacks were still far from over. The moment the boy landed, she appeared beside him and sent a kick to his side.
'She's crazy fast.' He thought with a pained look.
*BOOOOMM*
Her kick finally landed and blasted Acht into another container, bending it easily because of the impact.
Lein looked at the place of the impact and waited for the boy to get out. She didn't know if he still had some tricks up his sleeve.
But, for the most part, he should be incapable of moving because of that hit.
'Hm?' Her eyes squinted instinctively.
A strong aura erupted suddenly along with a strong airwave. Lein had to cover her face from the debris getting thrown because of this crazy amount of energy being emitted.
Then, the dust was swiped, revealing Acht who was standing still while looking down. He didn't seem to be in a good state since blood was trickling down his face.
'What is he doing?' She thought warily.
The aura that was around him made her feel slightly threatened. It was the first time that she felt like this because of that kid.
Then, like a zombie, he looked up at her. His eyes were far beyond furious, they were almost mad. His teeth were clenched and his fists were tightened. He looked like a crazed beast rather than a normal human. All of his previous calm demeanor disappeared and an endless anger that he hid inside him rose up to the surface. He didn't even have the time to try and calm down as the pain from that hit made him lose his composure for a split second which was more than enough for his mind to go berserk.
"YOU….FUCKING BITCH…I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!!" He roared like a monster with his hoarse voice that almost shook the place.
His scream made his aura grow even more violent and chaotic.
Then, in the middle of Lein's shock, he extended his hand forward and muttered two words that were akin to a death sentence.
"Gravity…domain!"
