The Bored Immortal

Chapter 304 – Death Vs Life

Umilia turned around and saw a woman clothed in a dark gray catsuit descending down from the air, her face hidden by a half-face mask that covered the upper half of her fair oval face. Her lips, a jet-black that seemed to only heighten the dark aura surrounding her. Her long brown hair extended till her waist, and her deep black eyes seemed to lack all emotions. However, her body was slender and curvaceous, especially the huge bulging pair of mounds on her chest.

The more Umilia looked at her, the more she felt that this woman seemed to be an incarnation of death itself. Her aura was too dark, and even the air she was coming in contact with seemed to get darker and putrid, as if they were breaking down.

Around her hands a wisp of black energy seemed to be spinning around and just a look at it was enough for any ordinary person to be put into a stupor.

"Who are you?" Umilia asked with her guard up since she felt that this woman was not weak, unlike the others, and was not a vampire.

"You don't get to ask questions around here. After I am done with you. You will be the one answering me," The woman said with a menacing gaze as she slowly walked towards Umilia.

Umilia felt that this mysterious woman was indeed bad news and raised her palm to blast her away as a pure brilliant white light shone from her palms.

However, the woman also raised her palm as a thick black smoke came out from her palm and seemed to stifle the brilliance of the white light that was emanating from Umilia's palm.

The thick black smoke gave off an eerie feeling as if it was coming from the purgatory itself, and any ordinary person who sees it with their eyes might even feel their entire body going cold just by the sight of it.

"Death Arts? Where are you coming from?" Umilia was a bit shocked to see this woman being a user of such dangerous and advanced arts. As far as she knew, anyone practicing Death Arts usually ended up killing themselves.

But this woman seemed to be adept at it, and she seemed to have absolute control in what she was doing. Umilia found her sacred light dimming as the thick black smoke devoured it and decided to fight this woman seriously since she didn't seem to be an amateur.

So she clapped her hands together as a wave of brilliant white light shot forward in all directions while annihilating the thick black smoke. 

However, the woman only got pushed backward by a foot as she slowly looked up at Umilia, "Sacred Arts…hmm…not bad. But death overcomes all and is everlasting," The woman said in a bone-chilling tone. It was as if just her voice was enough to make one feel like they were dying from within.

Umilia shook her head and said, "Maybe, but you underestimate the power of creation itself. The Sacred light is the symbol of all life, just like the sun, and eradicating death or anything evil is just one of the purposes it exists for. And if you don't surrender, then you might find yourself getting eradicated."

"Then I will send you to the netherworld," The woman said in a cutting tone as the two charged at each other before blasting energies from their palms at each other.

A brilliant white beam shot forth from both of Umilia's palms, while a dark murky beam shot forth from the woman's palms. Both these beams clashed to create an immensely powerful shockwave that broke down the surrounding walls of the buildings on their sides.

The energy was powerful enough to turn the unconscious vampire leader to mere dust while Linard was still safe since he was a bit farther away.

Umilia clicked her tongue in frustration seeing that she lost one of the only ones which might have the answers she needed. However, right now, she was busy holding off this powerful woman giving off an ominous aura.

A huge murky blackish white ball emerged at the point where the two energies were clashing with each other. It seemed as if these two energies were trying to devour and annihilate each other, and accordingly, the color of the energy ball seemed to change slightly.

The ground below the dense energy ball was slowly getting obliterated as the debris began to float into the air while the surrounding walls also began to get seared and break down.

The woman narrowed her eyes as she applied even more energy to push the energy ball towards Umilia's side.

Umilia's expression became grave as she saw the energy ball closing in her direction slowly, and if it were to reach her, she would surely be done for.

Gritting her teeth, she pushed back the energy ball with determined eyes as it began to slowly slide towards the mysterious woman.

The mysterious woman decided to take Umilia by surprise as she suddenly directed the energy ball towards the side, smashing against the large building on their right.

*BOOM!*

A huge and powerful sound of an explosion resounded as the base of the building completely got destroyed, and large pieces of concrete were falling down on Umilia while the woman quickly backed away.

Umilia's eyes widened as she quickly put up her hands to put up a sacred force field that stopped the debris from crashing down on her and got turned to dust the moment they came in contact with the brilliant white light.

However, the woman took advantage of this as she appeared before Umilia and clutched her neck before smashing her against the walls.

"Umilia's eyes shook as she felt the skin on her neck beginning to decay just from the woman's touch. In fact, if it was anyone else, they would have already had their necks completely decayed and have their heads fall off from their bodies.

But since Umilia was a user of the Sacred Arts, she was able to fight back the powers of this woman, though now that she was directly touching her, it made things very difficult for her.

The woman's eyes looked lifeless and cold as she stared at Umilia, "My hands were forged in a place where all souls perish. Do you think you are capable of fighting it back?"

"Hnghh…" Black lines began to spread across Umilia's fair neck as her eyes began to turn misty. For some reason, the power of her sacred light seemed to be in an even more diminished state because of this woman touching her directly. She felt that this woman's hands were even more dangerous than her.

However, the woman's expression suddenly became vigilant and took her hand away from Umilia's neck.

*BOOM!*

But before she could do anything, the sound of a powerful shockwave echoed as the woman's body bent backward, her stomach going in as she got sent flying a dozen meters away.

Umilia had an astonished look as she realized who punched this woman in the stomach to send her flying like that and smiled as she looked up to see a tall, well-built man revealing before her with a cloth mask on his face and glowing blue eyes.

"Viktor…"
