Chapter 285: X-Ace Clash (Part 3)

As I unleashed a rapid, massive volley of Negative Energy blades, shooting towards him with immense speed, he swiftly flew back before unleashing consecutive, intense shockwaves, blowing away my projectiles, before I shot towards him as I compressed and concentrated Negative Energy in my left hand.I weaved through the air as he unleashed a flurry of piercing blasts of telekinesis towards me, cuts appearing across my skin as several of his attacks grazed me, before I whipped my left arm across as I closed in on him, firing out an immensely pressurized Negative Energy slash.

He blasted himself across to the left, before a stifled yell of pain rang out as my attack sliced deeply through his right bicep, blood bursting out and streaming down his arm.

I lunged at him as his arm slumped to his side, unleashing a rapid, twisting thrust of my blade towards his throat.

He quickly whipped his left arm up, hitting my wrist and unleashing a telekinetic burst upon impact, fracturing the bones in my hand and wrist as he knocked Desecrator out of my grasp, before starting to reach out towards the top of my head, an intense shimmer appearing around his hand.

My tail shot up and snared his forearm, constricting tightly before I drove my right hand forward, slamming against his left side as he twisted his body across.

He unleashed the charged up telekinesis in his left hand as I simultaneously unleashed Mana Pulse, his body seizing up sharply right as his blast struck the right side of my head, blood streaming down the side of my face before I formed a blade of Negative Energy in my right hand and swung it across as he drove his left foot down towards my stomach.

His foot slammed onto the middle of my stomach before an intense telekinetic blast burst out upon impact, the tip of my Negative Energy blade grazing the front of his neck before I got sent plunging down towards the floor of the arena with alarming speed.

I spread my wings out while simultaneously unleashing a burst of Negative Energy below myself, canceling out the momentum right in the nick of time, my back coming to a stop centimeters above the arena.

"<Return>," I chanted, before firing out a wide, swirling sphere of Negative Energy up towards him as my blade came zipping back towards me.

I caught it as it got within my reach, before rushing across to my right as he burst through my Negative Energy sphere with a powerful telekinetic blast, the dark energy dissipating.

His attack slammed onto the floor of the arena, puffs of dust rising up as cracks spread out upon impact, before I spread out my wings and shot up into the air, unleashing a barrage of Negative Energy arrows towards him.

He blasted my attacks away as he unleashed waves of consecutive shockwaves again, before raising his hands towards me, telekinetically pulling me in towards him.

As I began to get within his reach, I swiftly manifested Drain, freeing myself of his telekinetic grasp before twisting my body across while flapping my wings, launching myself up and over him through the air, before I rapidly reached down towards the top of his head.

Right as my hand came into contact with his head, I triggered Mana Pulse as he unleashed a devastating shockwave, a violent shudder of pain erupting across his body as I managed to keep two of my fingertips in contact with his head, before I got blasted straight up from the force of his shockwave.

My back slammed onto the ceiling of the barrier with a jarring impact, coughing out blood before I began to plummet down, as did he.

His eyes were bloodshot, trails of blood pouring out of his nostrils and left ear, before he shakily gritted his teeth and unleashed a telekinetic burst below himself as he closed in on the floor, breaking his fall.

I brought myself to a halt several meters above him as I spread my wings out. His right arm is steadily healing, but he can’t move it yet, it will likely take at least another minute or so before he can do that.

And that Mana Pulse to his head seems to have disoriented him, despite failing to hit him with it at full power.

Meanwhile, all of my injuries have already healed.

I do have a way to defeat him with almost absolute certainly, but I may not need to resort to that.

An intense burst erupted around him as the space surrounding him shimmered violently, growing more and more intense with every passing second, his gaze shifting up towards me.

Cracks rapidly spread out across the arena around him, the entire stadium rumbling ominously as the arena began to break apart.

I flew back while ascending as fast as I could, getting as much distance as possible while simultaneously expanding the jaws of Drain in front of myself, before the entire arena suddenly exploded into pieces as I abruptly lost sight of him.

I spotted a blur shooting towards me in a split-second and veered up, a crushing force striking my stomach before I could react and bursting out my back, blood pouring out of my mouth as I coughed sharply.

"No way, you...you actually managed to react to that?" He uttered unsteadily, beads of sweat pouring down his face, before I drove my blade up and plunged it into his left elbow before he could pull his arm back out.

As I began to drive my left hand towards his solar plexus, I halted and flew back as fast as I could, wrenching his arm out of my torso as I felt a telekinetic swell around it, right in the nick of time as an intense eruption burst around his forearm.

With both arms out of commission, he opened his mouth and fired out a pressurized telekinetic blast as I simultaneously unleashed a burst of Negative Energy from my left hand, both of us getting blown away as our attacks collided and erupted fiercely, the force of the blast launching us back.

My back slammed onto the barrier behind me, as he brought himself to a halt as telekinesis erupted behind his back, his arms slumped down and trembling in pain...
