Chapter 809: Friends' Decision
[Roland, there isn't much time left. The door is opening.]
I suddenly heard a warning from my System, who had been really quiet recently.
She had been quiet ever since Karwenz's scheme had been exposed. Could it be that she was regretting and doubting what she had done before? But, with my understanding of her, this probably wasn't it.
"Are you capable of stopping the door from opening? No matter what, Karwenz should only have Cynthia's powers..."
[I could have directly closed the door if I was in my complete form. But now, I'm only a wandering soul who doesn't even have a foundation... I'll try to slow down everything, but don't pin too much hope on me.]
My System then fell silent again.
But in the faraway chaotic domain, the statue of the Goddess of Order started to slowly close her eyes and fold her arms.
The door then slowly lost some luster as its opening progress was stalled. However, the adjacent Cynthia statue started glowing bright red as it forcefully emanated more energy to make up for the lost power.
A faint person could be seen on top of the Cynthia statue. This person was apparently howling in anger.
"...She actually was capable of interfering!"
At the same time, Elisa received a magic message about what happened. Her expression facing me became even more hostile.
Elisa had finally lost her patience with me, since I "still didn't regret things when faced with death", along with Amelia and Harloys who kept taunting her.
*Boom!*
The next instant, fist met palm as two beauties angrily glared at each other. Elisa and Amelia had begun to fight.
Strangely, neither of them were trying to use magic. Even though both of them had extremely high energy levels, they actually chose to engage in physical melee combat which seemed like it had no skill involved.
Even though two beauties were fighting, their battle wasn't beautiful to watch at all. Vicious gusts which would easily injure or kill any normal person were being whipped up.
Elisa transformed both her arms into claws. She took the initiative to unleash a torrent of attacks that seemed as vicious as a dragon, a full offense with no defense whatsoever. However, she was actually focusing 30% on offense, 40% on defense, and keeping another 30% power in reserve.
Elisa was observing her enemy for weaknesses. The moment that Amelia showed a weakness, such as using too much strength and being unable to counter in time, Elisa would instantly use an ultimate technique to strike a fatal blow.
Did this seem rather familiar?
Maybe Elisa was far more powerful than me now, but her fighting style and strategy was still intimately connected to mine.
Meanwhile, Amelia's fighting style was very... simple and direct.
She used straight punches, powerful punches, and hook punches. Her punches were incredibly simple, yet there wasn't even any wind from them. Still, nobody would doubt the fearsome strength that her slender wrists contained.
Light was distorted wherever her fists passed by. The dimensional space itself was faintly shaking. It seemed that her physical strength was sufficient to tear apart the dimensional laws through simple brute force.
Unlike how most battles were fought, Elisa and Amelia were experts in both martial arts and magic. Neither of them used a weapon. Both of them had their own personal fighting style that had evolved from the most basic martial arts a mage would learn for self-protection. However, even the strongest martial artist in the mortal plane would instantly be killed when facing either of them.
The reason for this? Pure power level suppression. Both women were using magic to buff their physical bodies, increasing their speed and strength to an unimaginable extent. No matter how wonderful your techniques were, your reflexes wouldn't possibly be fast enough. Even if your reflexes were fast enough, you wouldn't be strong enough, which would still end in total suppression.
Fighting techniques and sword techniques were still foundationally about utilizing one's own physical body or a weapon.
If your ultimate technique that you sacrificed your very life for still couldn't compare to your opponent's reflexive flick of a little finger, then even the most amazing technique wouldn't be able to make up for the physical difference between the two of you.
Even though Elisa and Amelia were engaging in melee combat, the two of them were still at Main God level. It was just like back when Titan absolutely dominated Donatis in melee combat. As long as one had enough pure power, no fancy martial arts techniques or magic would be needed. Even the fanciest magical inheritance would likely be nothing more than useless fireworks in front of a meteor smashing straight at you.
"It seems that Elisa hasn't resolved herself to the extent that she claims."
I had much to ponder about regarding the fight before me.
It was quite normal for Amelia to engage in physical combat. Her primary power was wood-based, so she would have to be an idiot to try and compete in magic against Elisa who was a fire specialist. Amelia's greatest strength had always been her tremendous strength that she gained from the earth.
Although Elisa was also quite skilled at fighting techniques, this absolutely wouldn't be her greatest strength. Elisa's greatest strength should have been her incredible magic power bestowed upon her by her double identity as a Demon Lord and Fire Elemental Goddess. The fact that Elisa was fighting like this meant that she still cared about this environment.
Even if Elisa wanted to engage in melee, her true body should have been gigantic, just like any other Main God's true body. A gigantic body would have far more power. Using her true body to fight would be far stronger than fighting in a small body.
No matter how amazing a dwarf's fighting techniques were, the dwarf would never be able to defeat even a young Titan in melee combat.
I looked all around me and saw familiar streets, familiar houses, and my familiar old home. Not only was this old nostalgia that would tie me down, it seemed that Elisa still wasn't resolved enough to damage this place just yet, even if she still hadn't realized it herself.
Perhaps Elisa had already resolved herself to destroy everything that she treasured if she had to fight me, but if she had to destroy her own "home" while fighting the "outsider" Amelia whom she loathed, maybe that was unacceptable to her.
