Chapter 107: A True Monster

"..." Nio teleports while activating the magic, she appears a bit away from the mountain as she drinks her combat potions, she flies upward observing an immense magic circle in the sky.

In less than one second after she activated the magic, an immense black beam is fired from the magic circle, a huge hole is opened from the top to the bottom of the mountain hitting Typhon.

The released energy completely obliterates the mountain creating an immense abyssal hole, the energy distorts space and makes the clouds in the sky twist into a whirlpool around the attack that can be seen even from the empire itself, which is at an absurd distance from that location. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

The emitted light resonates through the sky making it seem like nightfall, outshining the sun itself, while the glow and remnants of the magic pass into space, the attack carried out with all the magic that Nio captured from monsters and dead people resulted in an absurd attack.

An immense mountain completely vanished without leaving anything behind, Nio hopes that this attack killed Typhon, but she knows that would be unrealistic, so she hopes that at the very least it dealt a lot of damage to Typhon.

"Hahaha... what a monstrous attack" Nio hears Typhon’s voice coming from everywhere, a distorted voice that echoes through the air like a messy cacophony of words and sounds.

"Tsk..." Nio gets the confirmation that she survived, when the attack dissipates Nio quickly drops from the sky onto the hole that her attack opened, the perfect arena is created as the smoke begins to disperse.

"..." Nio observes Typhon’s body seeing that she is wearing a strange and very revealing armor that replaced the previous elegant dress, the armor starts with a pair of gloves that reach just past the elbow and stockings that reach the middle of the thigh.

The bottom part is just a thin thong-style panty and the top part is a bra with a pattern of hands that seem to be squeezing Typhon’s breasts, while on Typhon’s head there is a tiara like a purple crown with a green jewel and she is also wearing green earrings.

Nio doesn’t recognize the armor so she has no idea what Typhon’s set does, but she also doesn’t underestimate it and doesn’t fall into a generalization, appearance doesn’t matter if the effects are good, Nio rubs her eyes feeling them burn slightly whenever she looks at Typhon’s panty, so she knows that it’s a cursed equipment.

In other words, Typhon also sacrificed attributes in exchange for other attributes, Nio quickly grips her staff deducing that Typhon is betting on defense since she doesn’t look hurt by the attack she received, but Nio herself has no way of knowing which attributes Typhon tried to enhance.

"Where are your horns?" Nio questions trying to make conversation so she has time to prepare another spell, but Typhon doesn’t give her that time, landing a punch to Nio’s stomach with a rush so fast that Nio lost sight of her seeing only a blur.

Typhon grabs Nio’s arms trying to tear them off with pure brute force while immobilizing Nio.

"My horns are called Hourglass Safeguard of Time, they allow me to reverse time, reversing any damage, cost or effect, I admit Nio your attack hurt me a lot, so I sacrificed them"

"They have to grow again, it should take a few millennia" Typhon’s smile is disturbing, an immense euphoria runs through every inch of her flesh, she is genuinely happy with Nio’s strength, the attack really was extremely effective, she expected to sacrifice her horns only at the end of the fight to recover from any damage and restore all her magic, Nio without knowing ended up making Typhon spend one of her trump cards by force.

"..." Nio opens her mouth and fires a sphere of nightmare flames that explodes between the two of them, hurling Typhon away, Nio recovers pointing her staff at Typhon.

"[Segmented Atomic Divider]"

[Segmented Atomic Divider] High-Level Magic that fires an immense slash capable of dividing atoms and their nucleus into smaller pieces, generating a nuclear fission that fuels the second Segment, an explosion of energy that pulls everything into its interior.

The magic that Nio uses releases an immense silver slash that Typhon dodges, but even with her dodging its effect works as it should, an explosion expands aggressively and then compresses pulling Typhon.

"!!!" Typhon uses her Deviant class to switch positions with Nio who is pulled into her own magic, Nio takes a small black sphere from her inventory and bites it generating an instant barrier around her that protects her from the suction.

"Nio I think you’re underestimating how physically strong I am" Typhon opens her inventory, but instead of a small portal or an instant materialization, an immense portal appears as Typhon pulls out an axe as large as the mountain Nio destroyed.

"Tsk" Despite the size, Typhon swings it with absurd speed colliding with Nio’s barrier, Nio’s barrier withstands the first strike with severe cracks, and when Typhon is about to strike again Nio lifts her skirt showing her panty.

"!?" Typhon ends up looking under the skirt which applies [Confusion] on her making her miss the attack and lose her balance, Nio advances on top of her driving her staff into Typhon’s stomach inside her.

’Huh? Where’s all the defense...’ Nio wonders having pierced the body with an ease that unsettles her.

"N-" Before Typhon can use magic, Nio shapes the staff like blender blades shredding Typhon’s organs from the inside while they spin generating an unpleasant sound of flesh being ground, Nio grabs Typhon’s head with one hand and kisses her loading the nightmare flames into both their mouths.

"!!!" Typhon who didn’t expect such insanity from a mage can’t react while Nio releases her flames inside Typhon’s body, Typhon’s body glows purple from within, her veins taking on a black tone as she is incinerated from the inside.

"..." She opens her mouth disturbingly wide trying to swallow Nio’s head completely, but Nio retreats with a quick step back shooting low-level mud magic at Typhon’s face.

’It worked!!’ Nio was uncertain about this, in the game it was impossible to try something like that, but ever since she saw Typhon reshaping an already cast magic she also tried, and it was a success, even low-level magic proves to have utility.

"..." Typhon despite the damage touches the hole in her belly seeing a gooey mixture of organs and blood falling to the ground, her entrails ground like a pulpy red juice, Nio prepares another magic still bound to each one’s casting time limit.

Typhon takes advantage of this time to drink a healing potion, even though she can heal herself she doesn’t want to spend Mana on regeneration.

’Miserable...’ Nio hoped she would spend her MP regenerating with her Corrupted Saint class like she did in their first fight, seeing that Typhon also thinks like a "player" frustrates Nio’s plans.

"What a dirty trick you used, although a white panty suits you, I’ll be more careful and won’t look anymore when you lift your skirt" Typhon says in a tone of superiority as she points her hand at Nio while three high-level magic circles overlap.

’T-Three? Not one? At once? You can do that?’ Nio thinks about giving up casting her magic to dodge, but doing that doesn’t return the Mana she already spent, this moment of hesitation results in her torso almost being split in two, her body dodging by reflex and losing an entire arm.

Typhon advances stepping on Nio’s face pressing her against the ground, Nio spins her body sinking into the earth and using her wings to fly, barely escaping a disadvantageous position at the cost of getting completely covered in dust.

"Gaaahh!!" But she is hit from behind, the same attack that severed her arm returned as a black sphere that exploded in Nio’s blind spot pushing her toward Typhon who receives her with a punch.

"!!!" Nio feels the blow hit her chest, she feels her heart burst as she spits blood, Typhon’s fist only not piercing through her body because of Nio’s armor.
