Chapter 80: The Fight Started In Full!

  Xena’s Nightmare: “Young, barely a teenager, yet so brave. A fitting warrior to end my suffering!” She happily chuckled, clapping a bit as well.

  Celia And Alisa: “…”

  Rather than instantly kill Celia, as the word sacrifice would imply… that didn’t happen. Instead, after the monster snapped her waxy fingers, a cage appeared around Alisa.

  Celia: “…Why? I choose to be a sacrifice!” She exclaimed in confusion.

  Alisa bore no resemblance to Celia’s daughter, but it was the same Soul. As such, when seeing the woman trapped like this, unaware of what the monster intended… filled Celia with dread and burning hatred.

  Xena’s Nightmare: “A coward… I would never allow such trite to slay me. Although the other Human doesn’t seem to be one… you spoke up first, little girl.” She clarified with her arms crossed.

  Celia: “…”

  Alisa: “Wait! I’m stronger than Celia, at least a hundred Levels higher than her!” She informed with great seriousness.

  While Celia felt horrible at this sight, Alisa did as well. Sacrificing a little girl to live longer was… wrong, but letting the same child fight in her stead was also terrible, in its own way. The prideful noble woman, one who already felt a strong relation with Celia, couldn’t stand for this situation at all.

  Xena’s Nightmare: “I tire of this conversation. Celia will be my opponent. When she dies, you can take her place, noble fool.” She scoffed, before then getting into a battle stance.

  Clang!

  Celia: “So fast…” She said in terrified awe.

  Right after she finished speaking, the monster vanished, flashing in front of Celia. Moving the fastest she had ever moved in her life, Celia brought up her sword, blocking the deadly spear from piercing her pretty skull.

  Xena’s Nightmare: “You blocked my attack, despite my AGI being so much higher than your own… Splendid! Celia, let us have an entertaining duel!” She shouted, excited beyond belief.

  Being merely a creation born of a careless Will, this monster didn’t put much stock in existence. It truly only wished for death.

  Unfortunately, Xena’s Nightmare was a jumbled mess of Xena’s thoughts. Various things prevented the monster from taking its own life. It required a brave warrior to kill it, and now, Xena’s Nightmare was finally given this opportunity…

  Two Days Later!

  Xena’s Nightmare: “Stand, you are still standing?… Wonderful, just wonderful!” She praised, laughing like crazy.

  Celia: “…Status.” She weakly spoke.

  She needed the battle to be honorable, so Xena’s Nightmare didn’t use her full strength. This didn’t really help Celia much. At most, it just extended her suffering.

  By now, Celia had used up all her Mana, just healing her wounds. Xena’s Nightmare allowed Healing Magic, but didn’t let Celia use potions of any kind. Calling them dishonorable, and not at all connected to her own power.

  Alisa watched on, as Celia fought for almost three days. Her lips were bleeding, since she bit them so many times.

  The noble couldn’t hope to destroy the wax cage, forced to watch how Celia was now covered in countless wounds, crimson blood even blocking her vision, staining her dainty and beautiful face…
