The Adventures Of The Young Master

Sylvianna dashed towards Gleipnir. This time, she didn’t want to give the enemy time to breathe.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Explosions came around as she slashed against the enemy. The power her black swords held was enough to affect the world. Meanwhile, Gleipnir was holding its ground in total defense.

Then, Sylvianna saw an open chance to deal a critical attack. She slid her sword right through Gleipnir's arms and directed her attack towards the neck. This time, she's aiming for its neck!

But how could Gleipnir let her? It smirked and provoked, "You think you can reach my neck easily?"

Then, it became an afterimage after almost being reached by the sword's tip. Then, it casually waved its hand and a force suddenly came in between them making Sylvianna step several moves backward.

"Keep struggling, insect." Sylvianna didn't stop and turned into offense again. However, Gleipnir was a tad faster than her, attacking her instead.

"Clang! Clang!" Barrage of attacks came onto her. Gleipnir was on full offense and she was on defense. The situation was reversed and the odds were turning on Gleipnir's favor.

"You said that you will impale me like a helpless chicken? Where is that!" Gleipnir shouted, "You're all bark but no bite. If that's the case, you are a disappointment of the Blackmauve!"

Sylvianna gritter her teeth and tried to get out of the defense. Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful as Gleipnir had giving her thousands attacks per second. There was no time to fight back and the enemy wasn't giving her openings, too.

After a while, Sylvianna was already getting exhausted by the defense. Her strength was used just for pure defense. Moreover, the enemy didn't like it was going to stop soon. She had to think how to get out of this, or else it would be detrimental for her.

But before she could think of anything, a slight opening came into light and Gleipnir caught this. It smirked and used the chance to deal a severe damage to the enemy.

Sylvianna was caught off guard as an attack bypassed her defense. It was aiming for her heart. With no time to use the sword to shield her, she directed the tip of the sword on her shoulder.

"!" Sylvianna felt weak after being stabbed once.

Gleipnir backed off after dealing a damage towards the other party. It had a smile on its face, seemingly not disappointed that its attack missed the spot.

"Poison...?" Sylvianna could feel something wrong with her body. Her constitution was firm, thus she knew what's goin with her body. Something venomous was spreading in her body at a slow rate. Her shoulder which was stabbed was getting number, too.

"The battle is over, Blackmauve." Gleipnir said as if it assured the victory in the bag, "That poison I injected in your body is very lethal and I concocted it solely for your family."

Gleipnir used all kind of immortal herbs and potions to create this poison. It took many trials and errors in order to do so. Although it took many millions of years before coming into completion, the effect was worth it now that it's seeing it.

"If you just directed the poison to your heart, you won't be suffering for long." Gleipnir smirked, "Too bad, you tried to avoid it."

Sylvianna felt her body getting weaker and weaker by a minute. Soon, her legs turned weak and she couldn't even stand. Her breathing was also ragged. She clutched her chest and tried to calm herself down.

A lethal poison only for the Blackmauve. Jin Rou watched the fight went on. And currently, Sylvianna had a high chance of dying now. But, he had no plans of saving her. If she died here, then it's probably her fate to die here.

Sylvianna knew that she was getting no help since she told Jin Rou. And honestly, she wouldn't ever ask for his help. She knew she could help her and end this battle, but this was her fight.

She wanted something, so she had to pay for it. There was no free lunch in the world.

Then, she bit her arm and suck the blood out of her and spit it out. She did this numerous times and after which, she was able to stand up albeit weakly.

"You decreased the poison by sucking a few of them in order to stand up?" Gleipnir smirked and said, "Do you really think you can still win in your situation? Stop pulling a joke and let me just drink your blood, will you?"

Gleipnir wouldn't be affected by the poison even if it drank her blood. After all, the poison was only lethal to Blackmauves. It was already thinking how good their blood was. Actually, it would be its first time to taste their blood by full and it couldn't wait any longer.

Since a Blackmauve, and their sole heir at that, delivered herself to its doorstep, it would be a shame not to accept this generosity.

"You talk too much for a monster." Sylvianna was able to calm her heart beating so fast, "The battle is not over unless I'm dead."

"You will die, but it will be a slow process as you didn't direct the poison to your heart." Gleipnir said, "You will suffer excruciating pain that you would never had experienced in your whole life. Later on, you will be begging for death."

"No one in this world has the capability to make me beg for death, bastard." Sylvianna could still smile in this kind of despairing situation, "Besides, you really think that I will let myself stabbed without getting anything in return?"

These words felt ominous for Gleipnir, "What do you mean?"

It tried to sense its whole surroundings but it couldn't feel anything. However, its uneasiness didn't fade away. Something was not right, and it's sure of it.

Soon, its body felt weakened as if its energy jumped out of its body making it fall to the ground. Gleipnir looked at Sylvianna for an answer, but all it received was a provoking smile.
