My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

-----

Stein looked at Cathyl wriggle in pain in the ground, the power of her ability had yet to fully develop and be trained properly, due to this, her muscles were agonizing in pain, she was barely holding up to it with all her might, and even then, she vomited mouthfuls of blood constantly…

"Cathyl…!" muttered Frank in horror, seeing her like this wasn't something that he would like to see… he felt frustration that she was forcing herself to go all out so much.

"Come on mama! You can do it!" said Asterion.

"Mother…" sighed Hilvera.

"Cathyl's ability allows her to absorb energy into her muscle tissue, hold it, and then release it into a certain direction, this power is certainly amazing. If she can take into various hits and absorb all the shockwaves and damage into her muscles and then release them into a deadly wave of energy… then this ability has a lot of potential!" said Orb.

"But look at her, she's suffering!" said Hilvera.

"She hasn't trained this ability yet. She most likely just awakened it as she forced her own body to absorb the power that Stein fired at her, his powerful blows would had already blown her into pieces if it wasn't because of this." said Kuro.

"…"

Hilvera seemed to fall in silence as she sighed.

Asterion patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry sis, mom will get through it, I know she'll do!" he said.

"Asterion… You're awfully confident of mom!" sighed Hilvera.

"It's the only thing we can do, right? We have to be confident and try to cheer up for her!" said Asterion.

"You're right, she's strong…" said Hilvera, looking worriedly at Cathyl.

"Her power is amazing; I wish I could develop something similar!" sighed Julia.

"Cathyl's power has a lot of potential… way more than we originally thought." Said Gwendolyn.

"But will she be able to hold into it until she can win? Stein seems restless no matter how much she beats him into the ground… He's the perfect tank, a monster that doesn't feel tired, whose body can regenerate, and whose body can withstand the blows capable of splitting mountains…" wondered Dan.

The party looked down into the battlefield as Cathyl slowly stood up.  Her powers gathered around her body as she fused them with her techniques of body cultivation, breathing technique, body reinforcement, and healing spells. All together made up an enhancement ability of great use.

Her body regenerated back and her internal damage reseeded for the most part, although her muscles still felt exhausted, she boosted them back with her power, enhancing them and making the hard once more.

Stein was left speechless, did this woman had infinite power or something? She stood up again no matter what, even if she was weaker, less resilient and had an underdeveloped ability. Despite this… despite this, she was still fighting better than him, while he possibly could but didn't! why was Stein slacking so much in comparison to her?

Cathyl looked at him as she smiled.

"Come on, don't make it easy for me, go all out, big man. Or its not gonna be fun." She said.

"All… out?" asked Stein, his anger began to grow.

"All out… You're not going to go all out despite seeing me resist your blows? If you don't go all out, you're insulting my integrity as a fighter, Stein! Go all out, show me what you're made of! I cannot really tell this completely by merely looking at you, you've gotta show me…!" said Cathyl, hitting the ground with her axe.

CLANK!

"Fine… I'll show you… I'll show you… what's going all out all about!!! GUUUOOOH!"

Stein roared in anger as he stood up, an explosion of transparent and sparkling energy emerged from his entire body, the explosion of energy resonated all around as this was power was nothing but mesmerizing.

This wondrous power of cosmic-like light continued to grow bigger and bigger, as if Stein was about to transform or something, but it was all here!

FLASH!

The amazing power of Stein was more than big, it was tremendous! With this power he began to grow bigger and bigger, until he gained around a whole meter of size, and his entire body was shrouded in the power of his aura, sparkling with power… he had finally gone all out?

Was this the truest power of Stein? Everyone looked at the scene with horror, the power of such a being was even allowed here?

"Fine! I am going all out!!!" he roared, rushing towards Cathyl as the minotaur greeted him by enhancing her power to her limits!

FLASH! FLASH!

The two flew towards one another as they immediately began to exchange blows! Cathyl moved her axe at an incredible speed, blowing away Stein's fists with incredibly precision and speed!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Incredible, she's keeping up with me?! It can't… then I am going even further beyond…!"

Stein thoughts flashed across his mind as his fists flashed with even brighter light, like fiery fists encompassed in the power of strength, they flashed over Cathyl continuously, exploding into shockwaves that she was bathed in!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Aggh…! Ungh…! RAAAA!"

However! Instead of faltering Cathyl roared loudly as if she were a beast, intercepting Stein's blows with her own powerful blows, exchanging blows with this powerful zombie despite her obstacles in life and all the things she had gone through! She didn't wanted to, she didn't wanted to lose against him! Even if her body was barely holding on its own, even if it was about to explode, even if her muscles were about to give up!

Her aura encompassed her body and formed a powerful armor, while enhancing her weapon, she used the combination of both to overwhelm Stein with everything she had at her disposal, but now that the battle was reaching a climax, Stein's power continued to rise through his sheer will!

"I won't lose either!" he roared, continuously fighting Cathyl as his massive fists continued to fall asunder like illusory specters made of aura!

BOOOOMMM!!!

"Nnngh…?!"

However… Cathyl was caught at the end and blown away.
